~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami no Yugi knocked on the door, which was currently closed. "Aibou?" he called, when he received no answer, he called out again "Aibou??"
Inside he head a groan, and too that as permission to open the door. There, lying on a big, comfortable bed, with a race car bed sheet, was Yugi, barely awake.
"Did I wake you?" Yami no Yugi asked, walking into the room and sitting on the end of the bed.
"Yeah," Yugi nodded, "but it's okay, I gotta wake up anyway."
"Aibou," Yami no Yugi growled low. The growl deepened when Yugi sat up. Yami no Yugi stood up, and sat beside Yugi, then pushed him down so his head was resting on the big, down filled pillow. "You need to sleep, and you know that."
"I can't sleep, mou hitori no boku," Yugi said, though it sounded more like a whimper. "I don't have the time. You should know that more than anyone."
Yami no Yugi shook his head. "I do know what you need more than anyone. Apparently more then you do yourself. And you need to sleep," he said, his voice soothing and low, making Yugi's eyes drift close, for a few brief moments, before they fluttered open again.
"I can't sleep! I don't have the time! I still need to raise more money!" Yugi said sharply, sitting up again.
"Aibou. You need to rest, please?" Yami no Yugi now sounded like he was pleading to the other, as he rubbed the back of his hand against Yugi's face.
"I - I guess I could for a moment," Yugi said, leaning on Yami no Yugi.
Yami no Yugi smiled softly at his other, but it quickly disappeared when Yugi looked up at him. "I can't sleep, knowing that I'm not raising the money when I know I can be."
"Aibou!" Yami no Yugi yelled, very exasperated. When he saw Yugi's look of fear, he immediately lowered his voice. "Please? You can't work right now, and you know that. Your body needs time to rest. Time you haven't been giving it. You've barely eaten either. Please, just forget about the money for a little bit."
"Forget? FORGET?! This isn't something I can just forget about! I thought you would at least know that!"
"I know ai-"
"Obviously you don't!" Yugi screamed. His voice suddenly went dangerously low. "Get out."
"What? Aibou..."
"Get out!" Yugi's voice was now quivering.
"Ai-"
"GET OUT!! GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!!!"
And, before Yami no Yugi knew what was happening, he was being forced out of the room. The door slammed behind him.
"AIBOU!" Yami no Yugi screamed through the door. He received no reply. "AIBOU?!" He started to bang on the door, only to be repelled back by a strong current of electricity.
"Aibou...." and he went back into his own maze of a room, crestfallen.
"Is he going to be okay?" Jonouchi asked the doctor who had just emerged from the room Yugi was in at the moment.
The doctor chuckled a little. "Of course he is. He's just suffering a little from exhaustion. He just needs some rest, and some food. He hasn't been eating or sleeping much lately, and that not only puts a strain on the mind, but on the body also."
"That's good to hear," Jonouchi smiled, but his smile quickly disappeared at the next word out of the doctor's mouth.
"However," the doctor said, looking down at his papers. Jonouchi stiffened. "You wouldn't happen to know why he hasn't been getting the sleep, or the nourishment, would you?"
"He's been taking up a lot of jobs lately, and still keeping up with his school work," Jonouchi laughed nervously, "if it were me, I'd just skip school to get sleep, but not Yug', huh?"
"You wouldn't know what possessed him to take the jobs, would you?" in response, Jonouchi shook his head.
"Why do you wanna know?" Jonouchi asked. What did this have to do about medical business?
"Well, you see. Something's just not adding up here. The body can take a lot more then the mind can, when it comes to lack of sleep and such. But, Mr. Mutou's body is the thing that seems to be driven to the point of exhaustion. His mind, though it has suffered some strain, seems to be just fine. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?"
Jonouchi blinked. Did that mean that Yugi's other half had been having to take some of the work also? If so, why? As far as Jonouchi's knowledge of the matter knew, which was more the most, Yami no Yugi only took control when Yugi really needed it. Was this money that important to Yugi?
It took him a moment, before he realized the doctor was waiting for an answer. "No, I don't know anything about it, sorry," Jonouchi answered, shooting the doctor a sheepish grin.
The doctor shrugged, and then began walking away.
"Wait! Doctor!" Jonouchi cried, running up behind him. The doctor looked at him. "Can I go inside? You know, see Yugi?"
The doctor shook his head. "Sorry, the kid needs his rest, you might disturb him. The doors locked, so don't even bother."
Jonouchi nodded solemnly. "I understand, doc." Said doctor nodded, and walked away.
Jonouchi grinned. "I understand all right. But, we couldn't wake him up in gym when we tried, I doubt that I'd wake him up if I wanted to. Besides, I'll be quiet," he said, to no one in particular. He fished a piece of wire out of his pocket, then bent in front of the door. He stuck the wire in the handle, and began twisting it around, until he heard the familiar click.
He smiled, and pushed open the door silently. He closed it behind him just as silently, then sat down in the chair that was beside his bed.
He looked at Yugi. Besides the bags under his eyes, and the tube in his arm pumping nutrients into him, he looked like he was just sleeping. It was weird, to know that your friend had collapsed, yet looked simply like he was asleep.
"Yugi," Jonouchi whispered, looking over his friend's peaceful face. "I wish that I knew what was driving you so hard. I could help. You know I would, bud," he sighed, then rested his arms on the back of the chair, and his face on his arms. "You know I would help."
