"Nooooooo!"

~Become a wind unfathomable distress
I'll hold your lonliness~

"Joey!" He was up, running as fast as he could towards the end of the dock, running faster then he'd ever moved before. Had to get there in time...

He flung himself off of the end of the dock, his mind only on his friend, not on how cold the water might be, not on the air, not on Tristan or Téa or even the man behind him who called himself a father. But only on Joey...

~The two of us are bracing wind, oneness
Even if the world comes to an end, I won't leave you~

/I can't stop...I swore I'd bring you back Joey. I told Kaiba that I'd bring you back to him And I will! I will! And you're my best friend!/

***

~When two soul that have shed their loneliness
Embrace and melt into one
From out of loneliness, love is born~

"Ahhhhhh!" In his hospital room, Seto screamed at the excrutiating pain that was ripping through his body. He held his chest as a nurse came running in, concern written all over her face.

"Mr. Kaiba?" she was asking. "Mr. Kaiba?"

Joey...

***

~Become a wind unfathomable distress
I'll hold your lonliness~

He hit the cold water and opened his eyes. There! There he was!

The blonde boy was trying to escape, trying to swim back up, but he just didn't have enough strength with the anchor tied to him. And the fact that his hands and legs were bound...

The two of us are bracing wind, oneness
Even if the world comes to an end, I won't leave you

He reached out for his friend having a sudden sense of deja vu*. Joey slipped away from the boy's grip.

/Yami! I need your help!/

And in a second the ancient Pharaoh appeared, confused by the water around him.

//Yugi?//

/Joey!/ the mortal boy cried. /You have to get Joey!/

The Pharaoh quickly took control of his hikari's body and swam as fast as he could towards the sinking body. Joey's eyes were closed and only one bubble escaped from his mouth. Yami's hand latched onto the blonde's forearm with but the blonde didn't even flinch.

No...oh no....

***

Tristan stood rubbing his head. Blood oozed through his fingers but he ignored it and turned to Téa who was anxiously watching the water.

"Where are they?" he asked.

With a shaking hand, the brown haired girl pointed.

"Oh no..."

A few bubbles popped at the surface as the two friends clutched hands and watched anxiously. Behind them they heard sirens come screaming their way.

And even though they hadn't seen a bubble in over thirty seconds, still they watched and still they waited for the moment when their friends might appear again.

***

"Mr. Kaiba, the doctor says that you really need to take this pills. It might help with whatever might be causing this pain. Please Mr. Kaiba!" the nurse cried as the boy looked away. "The doctor insists!"

"Screw the doctor," he muttered. The nurse gave him a glare filled with malice and then left the teen to suffer by himself.

With the pain still ripping through his chest Seto sat up slowly, using one hand to lever himself up and keeping the other clutched at his heart.

Then all of a sudden----

It was gone.

Suddenly he could breath freely without feeling the weight of a safe compressing his lungs. All of a sudden the pain that had been ripping his body to pieces disappeared. It was just gone...

Abruptly he wondered if that really was such a good thing.

***

"We need Dr. Miyuzaki! Right now! I don't care if he's operating on Nbou Utemetse! He is needed here right now!"

"Nurse, he's loosing blood fast. We are going to need a blood donor very soon."

The woman sighed. "Great...what's his blood type?"

The man did a quick blood test and grimaced. "AB positive."

"Dammit!" she sighed again. "Search the hospital for all possible AB positive blood donors."

"Yes ma'am!"

***

"Seto Kaiba?"

The teenage boy cracked an eye open and glanced up at the nurse standing before him. This one was different then the one before.

"Yes?"

"Your blood type is AB positive is it not?"

"Last time I checked," the boy replied sarcastically.

The Nurse rolled her eyes and sighed. "There is a boy who is loosing blood fast and he needs someone to donate blood. Type AB positive blood."

"No," Seto said his old selfishness creeping back into him. "No way your sticking a needle into me just to save some guy I don't even know."

"Please Mr. Kaiba---"

"No." Suddenly as if Mokuba himself were standing right next to him, he heard his little brother's voice scolding him for his selfishness.

/"C'mon Seto. At least find out the guy's name."/

"What's his name?" Seto asked sighing.

"Joey Wheeler."

"What?" Blue eyes grew wide and the brown haired boy sat up quickly. "Take me too him. I'll give him as much blood as he needs okay?" The Nurse nodded surprised by the boy's sudden change of mind and lead him down the hall.

***

Light...he remembered light....and voices...talking earnestly...where-where was he? Where was---

Blackness.

***

He stood in the doorway to the living room and watched silently as his yami watched TV. Some show about a kid who could fight evil spirits or something. Finally he took a deep breath and pulled on his jacket.

"I'm going to the hospital, okay Bakura?" he said softly.

Bakura didn't even acknowledge his hikari's words, just stared at the television as a boy with black hair leapt at a demon. Ryou opened his mouth again then stopped and turned his eyes to the ground.

"I'll be back later," the white haired mortal whispered softly then pulled the door open. He turned back the see Bakura's face illuminated in the soft glow of the television.

"Bye." And Ryou was gone, pulling the door closed tightly.

As soon as his hikari was gone, Bakura lay his head back on the couch and closed his eyes tightly, ignoring the television. Suddenly he stood and headed for the door then stopped, tunred and flung himself back on the couch.

He turned his brown eyes to the television and didn't move for two hours.

***

He took a deep breath and turned away from the blonde nurse coming at him with a needle. He gritted his teeth as she checked it and smiled at him.

"Don't worry Mr. Kaiba," she said. "This won't hurt but a bit."

Liar.

He swallowed as the needle sunk under his skin. It hurt so badly. It felt as if...well as if somoene was sticking a really sharp object into his skin. He was tempted to tell her to quit it and to go find someone else to donate blood. But he didn't. The images of what could be worng with Joey just kept flashing through his mind, kept haunting his thoughts.

He felt the needle pulling from his skin and looked over to see that was just what was happening. A wave of nausea swept through his body, making him nearly loose his lunch right then and there. But he hung on...

/"For you...."/

Seto flinched. Another memor---

Suddenly he remembered. Suddenly he realized what he'd been trying to remember for so long. But the nausea caught up with him as the needle pulled from his skin.

He leaned over and let all of his lunch come up.

*You remember the time when Joey jumped off of the boat to get Yugi's Exodia cards and then Yugi jumped off and saved Joey?
