"Miss? Miss? Visiting hours is over." A nurse was at Yuugi's door. It was
about ten o'clock at night.
" Oh. Alright," Anzu replied. The nurse pushed her medicine cart to another room.
"I'll be back tomorrow Yuugi," Anzu told him. She kissed his cheek, gave his hand a final squeeze and left his room.
She wandered back out into the waiting room. Joey, Tristan and Ryou were still there. Tristan and Ryou were sleeping. Joey, on the other hand, was staring at his feet, apparently thinking (which was odd, because Joey doesn't usually do that).
" You guys are still here?" Anzu asked in surprise.
" Yeah, we woulda felt guilty if we letchya be here by yourself," Joey spoke softly.
"Joey, are you alright?" she asked concerned.
"What? Oh, yeah. I was just. thinkin'."
"Oh. Well, we should wake Tristan and Ryou up so we can go home." Anzu said thoughtfully.
Joey reached over and poked the two of them. Tristan and Ryou stirred and woke up.
" Just five more minutes, Mom, I don't wanna go to school today," Tristan said stupidly.
" What time is it?" Ryou asked.
" Late, I think about ten." Anzu told him.
They stood up and began to walk home. $*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*
//' I wonder what time it is, '// Yuugi wondered
/' Probably late. Anzu went home. '/ Yami said.
//' Yeah. '//
/' I think we should get some sleep. '/ Yami told Yuugi.
//' You're right. * Yawn*. '//
Yuugi and Yami went to sleep. In the morning, Anzu came back, just like she said. Yuugi's grandpa came, too. Anzu took their hand again.
Just as Yuugi's grandpa and Anzu started to talk, Yuugi started to feel sick. In fact, he didn't feel quite right, like he was missing something. He tried to ask Yami if he felt all right, but Yami never woke up. His heart pace quickened. Suddenly, an alarm went off. Yuugi's heart raced and he knew no more. $*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*
As soon as the alarm went off, Anzu let Yuugi and Yami's hand go, afraid that she did something wrong. But the alarm didn't stop. Doctor's and nurses flooded into their room. A nurse shooed Anzu and Mr. Muuto out.
"What's going on?" Mr. Muuto demanded.
" I'm sorry sir, but you'll have to leave. Please wait in the waiting room." the nurse said briskly.
Anzu barely noticed where she was going. Yuugi's grandpa put his arm around her.
" Anzu, are you all right?" he asked gently.
She didn't answer. She just let Mr. Muuto lead her into the waiting room and into a chair.
"Yo Anzu, wassup?" Joey asked concerned.
She said nothing. Mr. Muuto explained to the others what had happened.
" Oh my gosh. Anzu, are you okay?" Tristan asked her.
She didn't respond. Anzu just sat there in disbelief. $*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$**$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$
Yuugi was still in the darkness. His heart had slowed down a little. He tried to talk to Yami, but Yami wasn't awake.
Then, Yuugi heard voices. He listened.
". but what could have made his heart pace to quicken like that?"
" Well, it could be the antibiotic. You see, this particular medicine has been known to cure nearly all infections. But, if a person is allergic to hydroxypropyl, it can have serious side effects.
" Like what, Doctor?"
" Well, it can cause blood poisoning, vomiting, diarrhea (A/N: EWWWWW!!!!!!!!: p), and in some cases, cardiac arrest."
" Is that what happened? He nearly went into cardiac arrest?"
" Yes, I believe that's what happened."
" Should I take him off it, sir?"
" Oh absolutely! He's very lucky to be here."
Yuugi sighed mentally. He felt very scared at that moment.
Suddenly, Yuugi felt Yami wake up.
/' What happened? '/ Yami asked.
//' I think that we nearly died. I just heard a doctor and nurse talking. '// Yuugi responded.
/' Damn that medicine!! I knew it was no good! '/
//' What?! You knew we were allergic to hydroxypropyl? '// Yuugi asked in surprise.
/' We are? I didn't know that. Hmmmm. '/
//' Then how did you know that the medicine was no good? '// Yuugi asked.
/' Yesterday, I really wasn't feeling well, and you know I don't trust modern medicine. '/ Yami told his aibou.
//' Oh. '//
/' Are they taking us off it? '/ Yami queried.
//' Yeah. '//
/' Are they putting us on another one? '/
//' Probably. '// $*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$
" Excuse me," Anzu got a nurses attention.
" Yes? How may I help you?"
" Can you tell me if we can see Yuugi Muuto in room 341?" Anzu asked politely.
" Let me check." The nurse walked over to Yuugi's room and looked at the clipboard. She then knocked on his door, and opened it. It looked like the nurse was asking somebody something. Anzu began to get excited.
The nurse walked back over to Anzu.
" The nurse in his room said you may go and see him, if you're extremely quiet." The nurse said with a smile.
" Ok. Thank-you."
Anzu and Mr. Muuto walked up to Yuugi's room. Anzu took the door handle, and then let it go.
" Mr. Muuto, you'll have to open it. I can't do it." Anzu said quickly.
" O-okay."
Mr. Muuto opened Yuugi's door. Yuugi was there, just as he was before. A nurse was changing his bandages.
When she was done, Mr. Muuto asked the nurse about what had happened earlier. She told them that Yuugi was allergic to hydroxypropyl, which was in the antibiotic Dr. Brown was giving him. The allergic reaction caused him to nearly go into cardiac arrest. She left Yuugi's room. As soon as she left, Anzu burst into tears.
"Anzu! Calm down! Your going to get us kicked out!" Mr. Muuto tried to comfort her.
"I'm s-sorry," Anzu sobbed, "It's just that, well, I can't stand to see Yuugi like this. The fact that he nearly died is just enough to push me over the edge, and the sadness is so overwhelming."
" I know, I know." $*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*
Yuugi's grandpa had gone home. Anzu had Yuugi's hand in hers. She prayed that he would wake up and get better soon. She smoothed back his bangs. Yuugi looked so peaceful. She kissed his forehead. Anzu leaned back in her chair. She took one more look at Yuugi and fell asleep. $*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*
//' Anzu has been taking good care of us lately. '// Yuugi said.
/' Yeah. '/ Agreed his Yami.
//' She is so sweet. I love the way that she hardly ever thinks of herself. '// Yuugi said affectionately.
/' Yuugi, do you have a crush on Anzu? '/ Yami asked mischievously.
//' A crush? '//
/' Yes, I think you do. '/
//' No way. But, now that you mention it, Anzu is looking pretty cute these days.'// Yuugi said absent-mindedly.
/' I knew it. '/ Yami said triumphantly.
//' So? '//
/' So nothing. I think it's sweet. '/
//' Oh. '//
Yuugi and Yami went to sleep. Yuugi dreamt of Anzu and Yami dreamt of taking over the world and making it become like ancient Egypt. $*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*
