" Anzu? Hey, Anzu. We gotta go home." Joey poked Anzu awake.
" What? Oh. Okay." She let go of Yuugi's hand.
" Hey, are you like, crushin' on Yuugi or somethin'?" Joey asked her.
" What? Well. maybe a little crush." Anzu said with a smile.
" Oh, I see." Joey said mischievously.
" Oh, it's not like that," Anzu said blushing.
" Sure," Joey left the room. Anzu looked down on Yuugi.
" Please wake up soon." Anzu whispered. She bent down and kissed Yuugi on the cheek.
The next day, Anzu went to Yuugi's room. She sat on her usual chair and took Yuugi's hand.
" Good morning Yuugi," Anzu told the unconscious figure, " I had some news from your grandpa today. He called your cousin Cleo in America and told her that you were in the hospital."
//' Oh great. Now Zoë will be on the warpath! '// Yuugi said gloomily.
Just then, Anzu looked up to find Joey standing in the doorway.
" Joey! "What are you doing here?" Anzu asked in surprise.
" I thought I would give you a break or somethin'. Ya know, being with Yuugi all the time and all." Joey said with slight embarrassment.
" Aw. that's sweet," Anzu said sweetly.
She and Joey started talking. After a while, they heard a noise. It wasn't the alarm. It sounded like a moan. They looked down at Yuugi. He was stirring and making noises!!
" Yuugi?" Anzu asked carefully, letting go of his hand.
He opened his eyes.
" Oh my gosh!! What happened?" Yuugi sat up so quickly that he nearly ripped out his I.V. and oxygen tubes.
Yuugi had apparently forgot the conversations that he and Yami had. (A/N: Why?)
" Whoa, Yuugi, take it easy! Lie down before you hurt yourself," Joey said, gently pushing Yuugi back onto his bed.
" Oh Yuugi!! We were all so worried about you! I'm so glad you're awake!!" Anzu said with tears in her eyes.
" Where's my grandpa?" Yuugi asked looking around.
" He had to go open shop. Mr. Muuto felt really bad that he couldn't be here with you, Yuugi." Anzu said.
" Oh. I see." Yuugi said, still a little dazed.
" Oh no!! I forgot that I was supposed to call Mr. Muuto when you woke up!! I'll be right back." Anzu quickly dashed out of Yuugi's room, digging for change in her purse.
Yuugi looked at Joey. He was sitting in a chair by the door and was looking at the ceiling.
" Are you ok?" Yuugi asked Joey.
He looked at Yuugi. Yuugi could tell that Joey was angry about something, but he wanted to know what.
Joey sighed. He walked over to Yuugi's bed and sat in Anzu's chair. He smiled a fake smile at Yuugi and spoke softly to him.
" I'm ok. I'm not the one who's been knocked out for tree days."
" You're upset about something." Yuugi said with concern.
The smile faded off Joey's face. He looked angry.
" Damn it Yuug! If I hadn't letchya duel dat jerk Kaiba, none a' dis woulda happened!!" Joey shouted.
" Joey! Calm down!! You're going to get us kicked out!!" Anzu said coming back into the room.
" Joey. It wasn't your fault. I probably would have dueled Kaiba anyway." Yuugi said gently.
" I know." Joey said in a defeated voice.
"So, is my grandpa coming?" Yuugi asked Anzu.
" Yeah. He said he'd be down as soon as he could." Anzu said.
" That's good."
Just then, a nurse came into Yuugi's room.
" Oh. You're awake! Well, I'll have to tell Dr. Brown as soon as I finish changing your bandages." she said kindly.
She went to work unraveling the bandages around Yuugi's head. She had given Joey and Anzu masks so Yuugi's wound wouldn't get infected. She, too, had one on.
After she finished putting medicated ointment on his wound and put fresh bandages on, she left and told Dr. Brown that Yuugi had woke up.
Dr. Brown came into Yuugi's room to find Anzu, Joey and Yuugi all talking.
" Well, I see my patient's awake finally," Dr. Brown said cheerfully, " I'm sorry, but I have to examine Yuugi. You can see him in about, oh, an hour or so."
" Oh. Ok." Anzu and Joey walked out of Yuugi's room and into the waiting room.
" What are we supposed to do for an hour?" Joey asked after two minutes.
" Why don't we go to Yuugi's house for dinner. I'm sure Mr. Muuto is still there," Anzu suggested.
*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$
The next day, Yuugi's cousin, Cleo, arrived in Japan. Mr. Muuto greeted her. He took her to his house and showed her to her room. After she got situated, they went to the hospital to see Yuugi.
" Hi Yuugi. How are you feeling?" Cleo asked kindly.
" Hey Cleo. I feel like I was thrown against a tree. What do you think I feel like?" Yuugi asked, slightly crabby.
" I'm sorry."
" How was your trip?" Yuugi asked more civilized.
" Like hell. I HATE airplanes," Cleo said with a slight shiver.
All the while, Yami was watching.
/'Oh Yuugi! You are so privileged to have such a beautiful cousin.'/ Yami practically gasped.
Indeed she was beautiful. Cleo was about seventeen. She had long, golden blonde hair and royal blue eyes. She was tall and lean, but not too skinny. Cleo also had a great tan and lots of little freckles. And curves, too. (A/N: That part was written by my little brother. He put more detail in it, but that would have taken up the whole page.)
//' I know. Wait until you see Zoë. She looks just like Cleo, but her hair is slightly darker, and she dresses wilder.'// Yuugi told Yami.
" So, when are you getting out?" Cleo asked.
" Well, the doctors said I should be going home sometime next week." Yuugi responded.
" Wow. That's a long stay," Cleo said mostly to herself.
" Tell me about it."
" So, who are your friends?" Cleo asked looking at Joey and Anzu.
" Oh. This is Anzu. She's been my best friend since kindergarten. And this is Joey. He's been my other best friend since seventh grade." Yuugi said.
" Nice to meet you," Anzu said politely.
" Uhhh. what? Oh yeah! A pleasure." Joey said coming out of his daze.
Joey had been staring at Cleo since she walked in.
//' It looks like you've got competition, '// Yuugi told Yami.
/' I'll get to her first. '/ Yami said.
//'I won't let you hit on my cousin, Yami. Now, Zoë, I'll let you. '// Yuugi said.
/' Huh? Why? What's wrong with her? '/ Yami asked.
//' Nothing. She's just Cleo's darker half. And sometimes, she can get pretty loopy. '// Yuugi told his yami.
/' Loopy? How? '/ Yami asked.
Yuugi gave a mental fake cough that sounded like: //' * in bed* '//
/' Ooooh. I see. She sounds like fun. '/ Yami said mischievously.
//' Yami, we're in the hospital. How can you even think of that now? '// Yuugi asked incredulously.
/' Talent. '/ Yami said, back in his daze.
" So, how's the food here?" Cleo asked mockingly.
" Shut up Cleo. I'd rather have hospital food than your cooking." Yuugi said just as mocking.
" Ooooh. Yuugi, you got her mad." Anzu said.
" Yeah? Well just remember, I came here to see you. Just remember that, okay?"
" Sure."
As Cleo, Yuugi, Mr. Muuto and Anzu started talking, (Joey was in a daze staring at Cleo) Yami began to sense another presence in the room. A dark presence.

Christina: So, how did you like it?
CJ: Personally, I think it's one of our best stories.
Christina: Yeah?
CJ: Well, except for that tiny mistake.
Bunny: I thought it was wonderful!!
Tsuki: We didn't take over the world!!
Devsagi: Yeah!!
CJ: And I didn't get Joey!!
As the yami's begin to discuss what was wrong with the story, the aibous began to strategize how to take down their yamis.
Katie: How are they supposed to take over the world if they're always discussing other things, fighting, or swooning over people who don't know they exist?
All yami's: We heard that!
Everyone takes out their mallets and begin to bash each other.
