Chapter 1- Whispering Shadows
After the ordeal with the evil spirit of Chikara's millennium item, everything was calm again and back to normal. Kaiba and Chikara starting going out and nothing else was heard about the spirit. It was about a week into summer when things starting getting a bit strange.
It was the first Friday of a long summer vacation and Chikara had to get a few needles since she got out of them last time. When she missed those shots, she had come down with an illness just before school ended and her parents would not wait any longer. She had locked herself in her room and sat on her bed, holding a pillow while she looked out of the window. She leaned against the walls by the back corner of her bed, and there was a knock on the door and someone tried to turn the knob to open it.
"Chikara, please come out," said her mother though the door. "You have gotten ill and it will get worse if we do not go to the doctor."
"There is no way in hell that I am going. I am not getting those damned needles." Growled Chikara .
"You have been in there for almost all day, Chikara. And we cannot take any chances this time." Said her mother as she sighed.
Chikara muttered under her breath and put her face into the pillow. She let her mind wander about her thoughts and she thought her heard a voice...like a laugh, coming from all directions. She lifted her head a bit and looked around the room with one open eye. She heard her mother sigh and walk down the stairs.
'Most likely she's gonna get my dad...wonderful..' thought Chikara as she put her face back into the pillow.
Chikara heard a tap on the window. A few moments later, there were a few more taps. She put the pillow on her bed and unsteadily made it to the window. She put one hand on her desk and paused for a second, feeling dizzy. She rubbed the side of her head and walked over to the window. She pulled the window open and felt the warm summer breeze come into her room. But to her, it felt nice and cool.
'I must have a fever or something.' "OW!" yelled Chikara as she held her forehead.
She growled a bit when she looked down at saw Malik, who just dropped the stone that he had in his hand. Malik climbed the tree up to her window and stood on the roof, in front of her.
"Man, it looked like you are about to collapse right now.." said Malik. "Let me feel your forehead for a sec."
Malik outstretched his hand and touched Chikara's forehead. It felt hot and he was about to say something about it when Chikara started to fall backwards away from him.
"Whoa! Hang on a sec!" yelled Malik as he climbed through the window quickly and caught her just before she hit the floor.
Meanwhile, in the living room of their house, Kaiba, Bakura and Yami were downstairs sitting quietly. Their eyes rose to the ceiling when they thought they heard a yell. They all got up and ran up the stairs and stopped at Chikara's bedroom door. Kaiba was the first one there and he tried to open it. There was a click, signaling that the door was now unlocked, and Kaiba opened the door.
Malik was struggling to hold the half-conscious young woman up. "What are you starting at? Help me with her! I can't hold her up by myself!"
Kaiba then carried Chikara on his back and walked down the stairs carefully. When he got to the bottom of the stairs her parents walked out from the kitchen with the car keys.
"She seems too sick to go to the doctors. The hospital might be a better choice." Said Kaiba.
Bakura opened the door and they all walked outside.
"Shouldn't we call an ambulance to take care of this?" asked Bakura as he shut the door behind them, after Malik walked after them.
Kaiba just shook his head slowly "There's no time. This looks very serious and she is on the verge of unconsciousness."
"Listen," started Kaiba as he carefully put Chikara in the car. "I want you three to tell the others and to tell Mokuba where I am. I'll go to the hospital and wait for you guys there"
Bakura and Yami nodded as the ran off to separate directions but Malik stayed by the front door. "I'll call Isis and tell her what has happened. Then some of us will meet here then we'll go straight to the hospital."
Kaiba nodded as he climbed into the car and shut the door. Chikara's father started the engine and they started to drive towards the hospital, going through stop signs if they had to. Kaiba held Chikara close to him so she wouldn't go completely unconscious. Kaiba had a feeling that something horribly wrong was going to happen. He looked out of the front windshield and saw looming building of the hospital come into view. They were almost there....just a two more blocks.
A screeching sound of tires interrupted Kaiba's thoughts, then his eyes widened as a large transport truck was pulling out from a side road. Every nerve in his body froze and he held Chikara tightly and shut his eyes. He heard two frightened gasps from Chikara's parents then the sound of crunching metal, and possibly bones, filled the air.
At Chikara's house, everyone was waiting for Yugi, Yami and Mokuba to arrive. Joey switched the television on and starting flipping through the channels. He went past a channel that showed emergency crews at a car crash then he immediately flipped back. Tea looked at the screen and covered her mouth in horror.
"Oh my god." gasped Tea as she saw the flames covering the car and the transport.
"Just recently, about 6:45 this evening, a transport truck collided with a car, that was most likely heading towards the hospital. The transport had three passengers, possibly escaped prisoners and one is presumed dead. In the other vehicle, there were 4 passengers. Two adults and two teenagers, of about the age of 15." Stated the reporter as he stepped out of the camera's way for the viewers to see.
"Two teenagers..adults...No! Hell no! Chikara! That's her car!" yelled Malik just as Yami, Yugi and Mokuba walked through the door.
Malik ran out of the house towards the hospital and the others followed close by. Tea and Isis stayed at the house with Mokuba, because they did not want him to see the actually scene face to face.
Several moments later, the group entered the scene of twisted and burned metal, less than a block from the hospital. Malik pushed past the police officers and slammed the doors open to the hospital. He ran up to the front desk and grabbed the secretary by the collar of his shirt.
"Listen, you lazy son of a bitch! Tell me what happened to the people in the car accident! Damn it! Tell me!" yelled Malik as he glared at the man.
The secretary grabbed Malik's wrists and pried them off of his jacket. "Sir, you will have to sit down at wait. The victims are still in critical condition. I would ask you all please to have a seat in the waiting area."
Malik went to grab the secretary again but was pulled back to the waiting area by Yami and Bakura. Four hours passed and the secretary threatened on several occasions to have Malik sedated if he did not control his anger. A surgeon finally emerged from the metal double door and took the mask off of his mouth and held it in his hand. Malik was the first one to jump up and ask questions to the surgeon.
"Right now, we only allow family members to see the patients. Unfortunately, we could not save the adults and they are dead." Said the surgeon calmly as he looked at everyone.
Malik's brain froze when he heard the last words 'they are dead.'.
"What?..NO! THEY CAN'T BE!" yelled Malik as he clenched his hands into fists. "Chikara will be crushed! She almost lost them once! You have to be joking!"
"Sir, you will have to calm down. There was nothing we could do to save them. They must of died instantly when the collision happened." Said the man as he crossed his arms behind his back.
"No! I won't believe it! Get out of my way, you fool!" yelled Malik as he pushed past the surgeon and ran through the double doors.
The group did not hesitate and they followed him. After a few minutes, Malik found Seto Kaiba's room and he ran in. Kaiba's chest, arms and his head were wrapped in bandages and he had bruises and cuts on his face.
"What happened?!" yelled Malik as he studied Kaiba's face. "Tell me! What happened? Where is Chikara?"
Kaiba winced immensely as he shook his head slowly. "Damn truck....came out of no where..it hit us just before...we came to the entrance..."
Malik paused for a moment then ran out of Kaiba's room and looked for Chikara's. He started to slow down as the doors of rooms got sparser and he found an Intensive Care Unit room, with Chikara's name on the label. He opened the door and walked in. The air that he had in his throat seemed to stop and block up the airway as he saw Chikara.
She was laying an a hospital bed, unconscious, and was hooked up to all sorts of hospital machines, that were beeping slowly. Her head was wrapped up in bandages and it seemed like she had a neck brace on. Her left shoulder had a cast on it and her right ankle had a hard plastic brace that covered the bandages.
Her face had a long gash down the side and bruises were on her cheeks, neck and arms. Most of her chest and stomach were wrapped up and it looked like surgery was recently done.
Malik shook his head and slowly walked backwards, out of her room in shock. He backed up to the opposite wall facing Chikara's room and he slid his back against the wall, sitting on the ground. He choked back a sob as he couldn't believe that it had happened.
Yami and Bakura caught up to Malik and they looked at him. Malik looked like he was in complete shock as he stared into Chikara's room blankly. Yami paused for a moment the walked into Chikara room. He tensed up as he saw how bad the situation really was. He walked over to the machines and looked at the computerized screens. He noticed that there was a line that beeped each time it went up and it seemed to be slow and steady. He exited the room and Bakura looked at him, partly with hope.
Yami shook his head slowly and walked back to Kaiba's room with his arms crossed. When Yami entered the room, Joey, Tristan, and Yugi looked up at him. Yugi made eye contact with his yami and he knew that something was very wrong. Yami averted his eyes away from Yugi and he leaned against the wall, in front of Kaiba's bed.
"So how is she, Yami?" asked Tristan as he looked at Yami.
Yami just turned his head towards the window and looked outside silently.
"No, seriously, Yami. How is she doin'?" said Joey as he stood up from his chair. "She can't be in that bad of shape"
"...She is not doing well. By the looks of the screens beside her bed, her chance of living could go either way." Stated Yami. And he said no more.
Kaiba just stared at Yami. He couldn't...he wouldn't believe it. Chikara might actually die. Thoughts of the accident and everything that happened during that time spun through Kaiba's head rapidly, almost like a blur.
She was going to die.
