Meanwhile, Joey, Anzu, Ryou, and Tristan had run over to where Yuugi lie limp.

"Yuugi! Yuugi! Wake up!" Joey said kneeling down next to Yuugi and shaking his shoulders.

Yuugi didn't answer. His head lolled hopelessly from side to side.

" Oh please Yuugi! Please! You've just got to wake up! You've just got to!" Anzu said tearfully.

Still no answer.

" Should we take him home?" Ryou asked.

Joey and Tristan looked at each other and sighed. Joey picked up Yuugi easily.

" C'mon Yuug," Joey said sadly.

" Where are we taking him?" Anzu asked, "Home?"

"Nope," Tristan said.

"Oh. The hospital." Ryou said sadly.

"Duh." Joey said under his breath.

When they got to the hospital, the doctor's and nurses took Yuugi. Joey, Tristan, Anzu and Ryou were led to a waiting room.

After a few minutes, a doctor came out and wanted to know what happened to Yuugi. Joey and Tristan answered his questions while Ryou (looking embarrassed, yet sympathetic) comforted Anzu. Anzu had gone into a major meltdown.

After they finished answering questions, Joey and Tristan went back to talking with Ryou. They would have talked with Anzu, but she was still crying. As they were talking, Ryou noticed something on Joey's hand.

"Joey, what's on your hand?" Ryou asked him.

" Huh?" Joey looked at his hand. " Oh man! I think it's . blood."

"Whoa, Yuugi's in worse shape than we thought." Tristan said sadly.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Anzu began to cry even harder.

Joey went to wash his hands. When he came back, Yuugi's grandpa was there.

". and then he hit a tree." Tristan finished. He had been telling Mr. Muuto (sp.?) what had happened.

" And if you'll believe it, it was Joey's idea to bring Yuugi here!" Ryou said.

" Yeah, we were gonna take him home, but Joey picked Yuugi up and brought him here." Tristan said proudly.

" That was a smart move. I don't think we could have done anything for Yuugi and home." Mr. Muuto said, " Thank-you, Joey."

" No prob' Mr. M." Joey smiled. *$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*

It was all black. Yuugi became confused. Was he dead? Probably not. But then, what was wrong? Was he blind?

/' No, you stupid aibou'/ a voice said. He tried to talk back, but he couldn't.

/'You're unconscious, which means so am I '/ the voice said.

//'Yami? '// Yuugi thought.

/' Yes. '/ His yami said.

//' Where are we? '// Yuugi asked.

/' Probably in the hospital, '/ Yami said.

//' What happened? '//

/'You don't remember? '/ His Yami asked.

//'No'//

/' Well, we were dueling Seto Kaiba. And winning, I might add. He put together his Blue Eyes, Ultimate Dragon and blasted the Dark Magician. But, the blast also knocked us off the podium, and we hit a tree. '/ Yami told Yuugi.

//' Do you think we lost? '// Yuugi asked stupidly.

/' No, ya' think? '/ Yami replied.

//'Oh. I hope the others don't worry too much. '// Yuugi said.

/' Knowing Anzu, she's probably in floods about us.'/ Yami said easily.

//' Yeah. I hope they don't call my cousin Cleo in America. She has the Millennium Necklace, and a bad tempered yami. '// Yuugi said gloomily.

/'What's her yami's name? '/ Yami asked interestedly.

//' Um.. Chloe? No, Zoë. That's it, Zoë. '// Yuugi said. He realized just then why Yami wanted to know.

//' No!! Don't even.'//

/' What? I just wanted to know. '/ Yami said with fake innocence.

//' Sure. '//

/' Why would they call your cousin? '/ Yami asked.

//' My grandpa calls her all the time. '// Yuugi replied dully.

/' Oh. '/

//' And if Zoë hears that Kaiba did this to us, she's gonna go berserk. '// Yuugi finished.

/' Ah. I see. '/

//' Well, what do you think the others are doing? '// Yuugi wondered.

/' Well, Anzu's crying her eyes out, Ryou or Tristan should be comforting her; Joey's probably feeling guilty, and your grandpa might be hoping that you're ok. '/ Yami said carelessly.

//' Wow. You've been studying my family and friends carefully. Why? '// Yuugi asked amazed.

/' They're not just your family and friends, but mine too. '/ Yami responded. $*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*

" Mr. Muuto?" a nurse said from the waiting room door.

" Yes?" replied Yuugi's grandpa. They all got excited. It had been about five hours since they brought Yuugi in. Anzu had (finally) stopped crying.

" The doctor would like to speak with you." Mr. Muuto got up and walked out of the waiting room. The rest sighed.

The nurse led Mr. Muuto into an office. He went in and sat down
