IS IT TRUE THAT BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?
Chapter 5
"Yugi, I appreciated this very much, and I've decided that if your offer is still open, I would like to stay,"
"Sure, but what made you change your mind?"
"Well normally I wouldn't except help from anyone, but I realized that I really need a place to stay and you're just a friend trying to help a friend," she said with a small smile, "what's for dinner?"
Yugi got up, "Wait here," he ran downstairs, "Grandpa, Amber is going to stay with us for a little while, her apartment was robbed, anyway what do you want for dinner?" (A/N: lol, I couldn't resist)
Solomon Mouto obviously saw the glint of excitement in Yugi's eyes, "my dear boy, don't you think you're over excited?"
Yugi calmed down, "No, why?"
"Well you seem hyper, I haven't seen you like that for a little while now,"
"Ok grandpa, you win, I'll tell you," Yugi leaned towards his grandfather, "I'm in love with Amber," he whispered
"I see, just don't get into trouble, ok?"
"Got it grandpa," Yugi dashed up the stairs
"So what's for dinner?" Amber asked
Yugi was so wrapped up in everything else he forgot to ask, "well, what would you want?" *that* was close.
"Well I really like lasagna, but it would probably be too difficult, is your grandfather making it?"
"No, I am," he said slightly embarrassed
"Well as a sort of thank you, if you don't mind, I could cook dinner for you and your grandfather,"
"Thanks Amber, I really haven't had a good meal since my mom passed away,"
"Yugi, at the risk of bringing back tears and memories, how did you're mom die?"
"I'd prefer not to talk about it, but I'll tell you, my mom was the greatest detective to ever live,"
~*Flashback*~
"Look just tell me who's behind this and no one will have to get hurt," Yugi's mom said, they were standing on the top of a building.
"Never, I will never reveal my master's name," the robber said dignified, as he threatened to jump, $1 000 000 000 dollars in hand.
"You don't have to do this, just tell me who it is," she said soothingly
"No, I won't tell you," he said as he jumped, Yugi's mom ran to the edge of the building, he didn't survive.
As Yugi's mom walked to the door leading back down the building blew up, it was a violent explosion, and torrents of fire engulfed her body. The robber had planted a bomb. The fire truck came with the ambulance, they got Yugi's mom out of there, but pronounced her dead in the ambulance.
~*End Flashback*~
"Yugi, I'm so sorry," she said patting Yugi on the back
"It's alright," he said wiping away tears and putting on a fake smile, "people die everyday, right?"
"I guess so," she said still unsure.
"Why don't we go make that lasagna?"
"Sure."
The two headed toward the kitchen, "Grandpa we're going to make lasagna,"
"Oh are you now?"
"Well Amber is going to make it,"
"I see"
"Amber, do you like onions in it?"
"Not particularly, why?"
"Oh just a question,"
"Okay," Amber headed toward the stove (A/N: I've never really made lasagna, or cooked much in my life, just grilled cheese)
While Amber was making lasagna, Yugi started to talk, "So Amber, how did your apartment get broken into anyway?"
"Well I'm not exactly sure, but I got a really creepy message on the phone, it said if I didn't meet him at cherry and oak street then I'll die, but I didn't get the message until I got home in the morning," she looked sad
"Then you stayed out the whole night?"
"Not exactly, I was with Kaiba, in the hospital. He was run over by a motorcycle."
"Oh my, is he ok?"
"Well he's getting better, but I was afraid that you were going to be like Joey, and freak out,"
"Why?"
"You and Joey hate Kaiba, and Joey, well, he just got mad, but I'm glad he's helping me solve this,"
Yugi looked puzzled, "Oh right, he's a police officer now,"
"Yugi, do you now *how* Joey became a police officer?"
"Nope, that's a mystery to me too," they both laughed.
The familiar bell of the game shop rang it was pouring rain outside. Yugi and Amber ran toward the door to see who it was.
It was Ryou. (A/N: I don't normally use these names but it's a nice change right?)
"Ryou what are you doing here? It's pouring rain out there,"
"Some guy was stalking me, asking me where Amber was,"
Amber rushed over to him, "ok Ryou, let's just sit down and get you dried off, then you can tell us what happened," Amber motion toward a chair for Ryou to sit in, Ryou sat down.
Amber brought Ryou hot chocolate, and Yugi arrived with a towel.
"Ok Ryou, can you tell us what happened?"
"Well, I was just taking a walk, to clear my head from all that school work," he forced a laugh, "it was already spitting, but then it started to pour rain," Amber now noticed that his hand and lip was bleeding.
"Oh my, Ryou are you ok?" Amber said, staring at his hand.
"Oh yes I'm quite fine," he noticed her looking at his hand and quickly hid it.
"Here, let me see it," she said ever so gently.
Ryou lifted his hand up; it was especially bloody around the thumb and index finger. It looked to be cut by a knife. Amber wondered what other cuts he had.
Amber took him by the hand, the one that wasn't injured, Yugi followed.
She put a warm cloth that Yugi gave to her, on Ryou's hand. He winced in pain, "Ryou, what other cuts do you have?"
He pulled his shirt up half way to reveal a long stream of blood oozing from the left side of his stomach to his mid-chest, Amber gasped.
"Who did this to you?" Yugi asked, "and why?"
"I-I don't know,"
"Yugi, we have to get him to the hospital,"
"I know, we'll take my car," Yugi hurried out the door, Amber and Ryou following.
Amber opened the door for Ryou and quickly shut it once she was out. She also opened the car door for him.
Once there we're all in Yugi backed up and pulled out of the driveway, "Ryou can you tell us what happened?" Yugi said glancing at the rearview mirror as he drove to Domino hospital.
"By detail or-" he was cut off
"Detail," Amber said it so immediately it surprised even herself.
"Well if you want it that way," he blushed nervously, "right now, where was I? Ah yes, well anyway it started pouring rain, and all I could think of was getting warm and dry, and no offense, but I really wanted hot chocolate at that very moment. So I was running, trying to at least find some shelter. Then I was brutally grabbed off my feet and shoved into an alley, I fell down and the man got out a knife."
~*Flashback*~
"Look kid tell me where Amber is and no one needs to get hurt,"
"Please sir, I don't want to get hurt-" he was cut off
"And I won't hurt you if you tell me where she is,"
"I swear I honestly don't know who you're talking about," he swallowed in fear for himself, but he couldn't put Amber in danger.
"Don't lie to me, I know you, I've seen you walk her home,"
The man grabbed Ryou by the hand and slashed him across the chest, then the hand, and finally, a wound he hadn't shown Yugi or Amber, a deep cut into the flesh straight across the front of his thigh.
Bakura got mad, someone was beating up his hikari, he swore he'd show those bullies the door to they're worst nightmare, the shadow realm. Bakura took one look at his crumpled up hikari, and threw a hard punch at the guy's stomach.
~*End Flashback*~
"It knocked him out, giving me he chance I needed to run and I came to you guys," Ryou continued.
"Ryou, I'm almost afraid to ask but, is your thigh ok?" asked Yugi
"Well the fact that it _is_ draining out most of my blood does hurt,"
"Ryou, oh my god, you should have just told him my address instead of risking your damn life," Amber was potentially mad at the guy who had hurt Ryou and slightly embarrassed that Ryou risked his life for her, though altogether she was flushed.
"We're here," Yugi's voice echoed in her head.
They rushed Ryou in the hospital, quickly explaining to the person at the desk. They rush him into the emergency room; he had lost a lot of blood and would need a transfusion.
RS: so there, how did you like that one? Well let me know in your reviews!! Until next time folks! *waves and leaves*
