Yugi woke up in the hospital and was greeted by the sight of a dozen bright
'Get Well!' balloons, a million cards, and a field's worth of flowers.
"Huh, what happened?" he said as he eyes started to clear and the blur of
colors were accompanied by shapes.
"Hey Yug how you feelin?" Joey said from his seat next to Yugi's bed.
'OH GOD!' "I think I'm ok, what happened?"
"Yugi, why? Why did you do this?" Tea said her eyes welling up with tears. She stood next to Joey and looked at Yugi accusingly.
'Lord not her! Have I died and gone to Hell? Just please spare me a friendship speech!' "I didn't do anything."
"Bull." Tristan said, standing next to Tea. "C'mon tell us what happened-"
"Yeah we're your friends we'll help you-" Ryou started, he was standing at Yugi's other side.
"Help you through whatever tough ties you may be having-" Tea started.
"SHUT UP!! ALL OF YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" Yugi yelled.
"Yugi stop this, we're your friends-" Tea started again.
"GET THE FUCK OUT!! I DON'T WANT TO EVER SEE YOU FUCKIN LOADS OF BULLSHIT AGAIN!! GET! OUT!" Yugi looked at them all, his eyes full of hate and anger.
"Yugi-" Joey started and his hand reached forward to touch Yugi's arm.
Yugi drew his arm back violently, "Don't you DARE touch me." His voice was steady and menacing like the growl of a dog about to strike. "Get out."
Tea looked at him and tears streamed out of her eyes as she ran out of the room. Joey ran out after her, Ryou and Tristan lingered a moment longer but then left. Yami stepped forward, closer to the bed, and opened his mouth to say something.
"OUT!!" Yugi yelled before Yami could say anything.
Yami and Bakura scurried out the room, still in shock.

Seto and Mokuba walked into Yugi's hospital room, they were careful to be very quite because Yugi was asleep.
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO-" Yugi started to yell as he rolled over in his bed, then he realized that it was the Kaiba brothers. "Oh hi, sorry to yell."
"Hey Yugi! You okay, what happened?" Mokuba asked, worried, as he walked to Yugi's bedside. Yugi looked at young, innocent, Mokuba, at him with huge eyes.
Yugi couldn't tell Mokuba the truth, "I got sick."
"Well then get well soon!!" Mokuba said cheerily.
"Why don't you go talk to the others?" Seto said, before Mokuba could ask anything else.
"Okay! See ya later Yugi." Mokuba said as he waved and left.
Seto closed the door behind his brother before he walked to Yugi's beside. He looked at Yugi, "Whatever you said was pretty harsh, Tea is out there crying her eyes out."
Yugi just looked back at Seto, why should he care if the dumb bimbo was still out there crying.
"Why'd you do it?" Seto asked.
Silence met his question.
"Yugi!"
"What? What do you want from me?! She's a friggin bitch!!"
"No! Not that! Why did you-" Seto abruptly dropped the level of his voice. "Why did you try to kill yourself?"
Yugi just looked at him, there was that anger again, the same feeling as when he had yelled at his other "friends".
"Yugi, please, just tell me. What's going on?" Seto was actually pleading with Yugi, well at least what constituted as pleading with Seto; it was very unlike Seto high-and-mighty Kaiba.
"How is it that you claim to have twenty-twenty vision and yet you are unable to see what is right in front of your face? You really want to know what's wrong? Well then fine, but don't you go and start with the crying like that little bitch Tea. In fact let's START with the friendship bitch! She and that fucking retard Joey are together, don't get me wrong, young love is cute but not when YOU KNOW THAT YOUR SUPPOSEDLY BEST FRIEND IS IN LOVE WITH THE GIRL YOU ARE NOW DATING!! And honestly if she was a real friend she would have seen the way that I care for her, unlike that horny dog Joey! Speaking of horny bastards! I seriously have no idea how Bakura and Yami are able to walk anymore, all they do is fuck like friggin gay jack rabbits!! Every time you turn around they're in some dark corner screwing the life out of each other!!! And since we're on the subject of annoying ass couples! What the fuck is Ryou's problem! Did he forget that Tristan is his boyfriend and not his twin joined at the lips!!! I mean I can't get mad at Mokuba he's just a kid and all but YOU!!! You are impossible!! You don't notice anything unless it has a KaibaCorp letterhead!!!" Yugi yelled at Seto, he felt better. It was felt funny to let that all out. He was still pissed but now at least he had said WHY he was pissed.
Seto looked at Yugi, he was stunned. He didn't quite know how to react at first. He took a deep breath and let it out, "Yugi, you still haven't answered the question."
"First off I wasn't TRYING to kill myself, though I wish I had."
"Ok then why do whatever you were trying to do?"
"Because none of you fucking retards seem to think of me as anything other than a fucking happy ass moron. You all treat me like a fucking child, and goddamnit I'm sick of all these shit!"
"I-" Seto's reply was cut short as the room door opened.

A very professional looking woman with medium length brown hair, in a dark blue skirt suit, black stockings, and black pumps, opened the door and looked in. "Hello. Is this the room of Yugi Mouto?"
"Yes, why?" Yugi answered, confused. Seto walked away from the bed, he sat down in a chair quietly.
"Well I'm Sarah Hale; I was called because the hospital couldn't contact your parents or any other relatives. Where are your parents?"
Yugi hesitated for a moment, "Dead."
"Oh, well then who is your guardian?"
"My grandfather."
"Alright then, where is he?"
"He died earlier this year."
Seto was starting to see where this was going and he didn't like it at all. 'If she thinks that he has no one to take care of him she'll put him in an orphanage! And this incident will be written up as a suicide attempt.' Seto had seen the nicest of children passed over because of things like this when he was an orphan. He was horrified by the thought of that happening to Yugi.
"So who takes care of you?" Sarah asked worriedly.
"I take-"
"He lives with me." Seto said standing up." Yugi was surprised, Sarah was a little surprised, but neither were as surprised as Seto was.
Sarah turned to look at him, cocking an eyebrow, "And you would be.?"
Seto walked over to her and held out his hand to shake hers, "Seto Kaiba."
"Kaiba? Kaiba as in KaibaCorp? Seto Kaiba as in the OWNER of KaibaCorp?!" she asked him skeptically.
"Yes" Seto took out his driver's license and handed it to her.
"YOU'RE his guardian?" she looked at the card then handing it back she looked at him.
"Yes."
"Good."
Seto sighed mentally, relieved. "I'm sorry that you had to come all the way over here and go through all this trouble, just because I forgot to fill out the correct paperwork." He gave her a good natured smile. Yugi just stared, too stunned to speak.
"Oh please, no problem at all! It's my JOB after all!" Sarah replied smiling, the air around her had completely changed, from when she had walked in the door. "Well I guess I'll just be on my way then. Just be more careful next time Mr. Kaiba, the paperwork is very important in emergencies." She walked to the door and started out but stopped. Seto felt himself become tense. She turned and looked at Yugi. "You know Yugi you're very lucky, I see so many children who have absolutely no one, be thankful that you aren't one them."
'Yeah, right, sure.' "I will be." Yugi said as Sarah smiled one last time before she left, closing the door behind herself as she exited.
"Hey Yug how you feelin?" Joey said from his seat next to Yugi's bed.
'OH GOD!' "I think I'm ok, what happened?"
"Yugi, why? Why did you do this?" Tea said her eyes welling up with tears. She stood next to Joey and looked at Yugi accusingly.
