"Hello Mr. Muuto," the doctor said, " I'm Dr. Rex Brown. I treated your
grandson in the Emergency Room. Apparently what happened, according to his
friends, was he was playing Duel Monsters when his opponent's monster
attacked. The force of the attack threw him off his podium, about ten feet
off the ground, and into a tree."
" But how? The monster's are just cards." Mr. Muuto asked.
" Yes, but when they are played on a holographic field, the image is projected into the third dimension, and the attacks can be quite real." Dr. Brown replied.
" Oh. I see."
" Your grandson suffers from a fractured left leg (fractured in three places), a moderate concussion, and several cuts." Dr. Brown told Mr. Muuto. " And he's still unconscious."
" Oh my! Um, would it be alright if Yuugi's friend's and I go and see him?" Mr. Muuto asked the doctor cautiously.
"Yes, but please be quiet. He should rest."
" Of course. Thank-you Dr. Brown. Er, what room is he in again?"
"Room 341."
"Oh. Right, thank-you." And Mr.Muuto left the office.
He went back into the waiting room. As he walked in, Joey, Anzu, Ryou, and Tristan got up from their chairs.
"Well Mr. Muuto? How' Yuugi?" asked Joey anxiously.
" The doctor said he has a broken leg, a concussion, and some cuts." Mr. Muuto replied sadly.
Just then, Anzu burst into tears again. Ryou tried to comfort her, but nothing helped.
" Anzu, if you stop crying, we can go see Yuugi," Mr. Muuto said gently.
"Really? Is he up to it?" Anzu asked tearfully.
" Well, he hasn't come around yet. But the doctor said if we're quiet, we can see him." Mr. Muuto told them.
" I think I'll stay here," Tristan said.
" Me, too." Ryou agreed.
" Well, I'll just go in for a sec," Joey said, " Hospitals give me da creeps."
So Anzu, Joey, and Mr. Muuto walked out of the waiting room. Mr. Muuto led the way to room 341.
When they walked in, Anzu gave a little gasp. Joey looked even guiltier, and Mr. Muuto looked even sadder than before.
Yuugi had his left leg up in a sling. There were bandages around his head; he had Band-Aids all over, an I.V. in his arm, an oxygen tube and that annoying heart monitor. (A/N: I'm sorry if this sound too detailed) $*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$
/'Hey, I hear something, '/ Yami said.
//'Really? Let me listen, '// Yuugi replied
Yuugi listened. Someone was out there. But who? He listened more carefully.
" Hey Yuug. I'm sorry dis happened. I shouldn' a' letchya duel dat jerk Kaiba. Oh, well. I'll see ya' when you're a wake."
//' That sounded like Joey. '//Yuugi told Yami.
/' Yes it did. '/ His Yami agreed.
" Yuugi. I'm sorry, but I have to go and re-open shop. I need to make more money to pay for your hospital bill. I'll be back when the game shop closes. Anzu, if Yuugi wakes up, please call me at the shop, ok?"
//' That's Grandpa! Too bad he has to work for my bill. I wish he didn't have to. '// Yuugi said sadly.
/' Yes. '/
Then they felt something. Someone took their hand, and rubbed it.
/'//' Anzu. '//'/ Yuugi and Yami said together.
" Oh Yuugi! I wish you hadn't dueled Kaiba. None of this would have happened if you hadn't."
Yuugi and Yami felt Anzu's teardrops hit their arm. Almost simultaneously, they tried to open their eyes. But, it was like their eyes were glued shut. Yuugi wanted nothing more than to comfort Anzu and tell her that he was all right. $*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*
Joey walked back out into the waiting room. Tristan and Ryou looked at him when he came in. Joey looked so guilty that the other two thought that Yuugi must have died.
" Joey? What's wrong?" Tristan said, trying to comfort his friend.
" Yuugi's worse den I thought. He's got a breathin' tube, an I.V., and dat heart monitor ting." Joey replied, " He wouldn' need 'em if I had stopped him from duelin' dat jerk Kaiba."
" Joey. It's not your fault! Yuugi has a mind of his own. He wouldn't have listened to you. You know he'll accept all challenges." Tristan said soothingly.
" Yeah, I guess you're right. Tanks Tristan." Joey looked less guilty.
" So, uh, how's he lookin'?" Ryou asked carefully.
" Not so good. He's go t Band-aids all over, bandages on his head, and his leg's up in one a' dose sling tings." Joey replied gloomily.
" Oh." $*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$
