IS IT TRUE THAT BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?

Chapter 6

Yugi and Amber sat down in the waiting room, well Yugi sat. He was biting his bottom lip in fear for Ryou. Amber was pacing around, thinking about who could've attack Ryou to get to her.

'Maybe Joey has the results from the blood sample now,'

'But who could've done this to Ryou? And why are they after me?' She paced around five more times.

"Hey Amber could you stop, it's making me dizzy and nervous,"

"Sorry Yugi," she took the empty seat next to him.

"Excuse me, sir, miss, but Ryou is going to die if he doesn't get a transfusion and we don't have his blood type right now, he will die if he doesn't get it and if he gets the wrong type it will kill him."

"Ok now, can you tell us what type he is?"

"B negative,"

"Yugi, do you know your type?"

"A positive,"

"That won't work it'll kill him," the nurse said crisply.

"Well, I think I have B negative," she said remembering the chart they did in grade five, she was the only one with B negative.

"Here let's check," the nurse pulled out a needle and took some of her blood and ran it through a scanner, "Yes it is B negative. You wouldn't mind if we took some for you friend in there, would you?"

"Of course not, how much do you need?"

"About a little over a litre,"

"Ok," Amber hated needles and this would drain a lot of her blood, but at least it would save Ryou. And after what he did for her, she'd do anything to help him.

"Right this way miss," she motioned for Amber to sit down

"Please be ok Ryou," Amber whispered.

~*Ryou's emergency room*~

Ryou was currently asleep, from the drug they had given him, he looked like an angel, with white hair, though you could tell he was in serious pain. His breathing was very shallow and he had gotten even more pale.

~*Amber's room*~

"Ok miss, this might sting a little," said the nurse injecting the needle.

Amber winced in pain, and thought 'there's no such thing as pain there's no such thing as pain, it's all in my head,' she repeated herself over and over. It seemed to take forever, and then she was finished.

"That's it?" Amber questioned

"That's it," the nurse repeated Amber, finalizing the concept.

"Can I see Ryou?"

"Well I'm not sure." She saw the look in Amber's eyes, "Aw, heck why not?"

"Thank you so much, can my friend come too?" there was a sparkle in Amber eyes

"Sure."

The nurse led Amber to the waiting room, where Yugi was, "You may see Mr. Ryou now,"

Amber rushed to the emergency room and froze. There were currently five or six doctors working to save Ryou. Yugi entered and he too was rooted to the spot.

The nurse came in after them both, "Doctor," she appeared to be speaking to the doctor guiding the rest of them.

"Yes what is it," he said turning away from Ryou and removing his mask.

"Mr. Ryou can be saved, that girl over there has kindly donated some blood, the same kind as him," she gestured toward Amber.

"Excellent," he put his mask back on and the other doctors cleared away. He hung the bag of blood on a pole near Ryou and connected the two to each other.

Ryou stirred in his sleep. Amber and Yugi both soon found their legs and rushed over to Ryou. Amber stroked his hair gently, "Ryou why did you do that?" she whispered so that only her and Ryou could hear. Amber soon found a tug on her shirt.

"Come on Amber we have to leave, it's time to go home,"

"Wait," she kissed Ryou on the forehead, "I have to do something," she headed toward the doctor, "is he going to be ok?"

"Yes, thanks to the blood he received,"

Amber let out a great sigh of relief, and told herself, 'he's fine'

"Thank you doctor," she said

"No, thank you this young boy would have died without your help,"

"Come on Amber it's time to go," Amber felt very weak.

"Sir, may I tell you that she has had a lot of blood taken out of her and will need lots of rest and liquids,"

"Sure thing doctor,"

At that precise moment Amber fainted but Yugi caught her, 'Amber come I know your feeling weak from all the blood you lost but you'll be safe with me,' he thought mentally.

"Better take her home, sir,"

"Thank you doctor," with that Yugi picked Amber up in his arms and carried her out to his porsche and placed her in the front seat before going to the driver's seat.

Yugi revved up his engine and took off with a blast. He was just about to take Amber to her apartment when he remembered that it was broken into, so he just took her home, to his game shop.

Yugi was home. Before he got Amber out of the car and closed the passenger door by kicking it shut, he got out himself to find a little difficultly. His shoe had somehow got jammed under the brake, so he took it off and headed toward his house with Amber.

He really didn't want to talk to his grandfather right now, so he just put Amber in the spare bedroom and headed back out for his shoe, carrying a flashlight.

He shone the light onto the car; soon spotting the shoe he wrenched it free. Then looked at his own foot and decided not to put the shoe on. Why? He had already gotten his sock dirty and ripped, and could probably bet that he had a blister. Though he was numb with cold and snow, he pushed on toward the house, longing to take a nice warm shower.

Yugi's grandfather greeted him at the door, "so, Yugi how are you?"

"Grandpa! Ryou enter the game shop, he lost lot of blood, we take to hospital," Yugi managed, "Amber donated blood to save Ryou's life, can I go and shower? I'm really tired."

"Sure Yugi."

Yugi walk up the stairs half-heartedly, he wanted to tell his grandfather what had happened but he really wanted to take a long nap after the shower. After all he was in the hospital for at least five hours.

Yugi climbed in the shower. Thinking. He had a high opinion of Amber, but since she saved Ryou's life his respect for her grew stronger. Yugi was just finishing his shower when a pair of lavender eyes were watching Amber through her window..
