Yugi was slowly getting use to having his eyesight back and Yami had told Ryou and Bakura along with Mokuba and Seto not to come over just yet because Yugi needed some time to adjust. All were more then happy to comply.

When the time came for Yugi to meet his friends he was a little nervous, he had never seen these people before. He could almost see perfect again and Yami had gotten him another appointment to make sure he was healing correctly.

Yugi could hear voices as he walked up to the door separating him from his friends. Yugi took a deep breathe and opened the door. At first Yugi was a little shocked, they were very close to what he imagined.

"Hey Yugi, how are you doing?" Ryou asked.

Yugi recognized the voice almost immediately. "Ryou, is that you?" he asked warily.

"Yep, and this is my big brother Bakura," Ryou said motioning to an older carbon copy of Ryou but with bigger muscles.

"Wow," Yugi was in aw then he looked over to the other two brothers. He could tell which one was Mokuba right away because he was the shorter one.

"Hi Mokuba, and Mr. Seto," Yugi said feeling a bit intimidated by his presents.

"Call me Seto Yugi, were all friends hear," Seto said smiling.

Yami watched Yugi with delight; he had never seen the boy so happy before, he was ecstatic.

Yugi ran over to give Mokuba and Ryou hugs; they were laughing and rejoicing together.

They partied for a little while but soon the others had to go home. Yugi had a big day ahead of him because he had an appointment with the doctor and if he was cleared they would be leaving for the Alps that weekend.

The next morning went by easy; Yugi and Yami got up, got dressed, and went to the pediatricians.

Yugi, once again was very worried when they entered the waiting room. Yami didn't let him leave his side this time though. When the doctor was ready to see them Yugi walked in all by himself and took a seat where the doctor pointed to.

"So Yugi, how are you seeing?" she asked.

"Better, I can see colors and almost small details but not every little one," he informed her. She smiled and wrote something down.

"Okay, now all we need is a blood sample and I'll give you a quick eye examination and you will be set. Any plans for celebration?" she asked as she got the needle ready.

She was trying to get his mind off the needle because most children were scared to get their blood taken. Yami saw Yugi's fear immediately and quickly went to his side and took the hand that was not getting blood taken from.

"Yami said he was going to take me and some friends to the Alps," Yugi said warily, he didn't like needles, especially since one killed him mother.

"Okay Yugi, now I am going to tie this band around your arm and take some blood, are you okay with that?" she asked watching his and Yami's features carefully.

"Um, okay," Yugi said, he held out his arm and she went to work.

"Okay Yugi now make a fist tightly with your hand, that's a good boy," She said as he stuck the needle in his arm. Yugi made a yelping sound and buried his head into Yami's shoulder.

She finished it up and took care to bandage it. "All done, you were very brave," she said as she took the container of blood out of the room.

"Shhh, Yugi it's all over its okay," Yami said as he comforted Yugi by rubbing his back.

The doctor came back and put Yugi through a simple eye examination and then informed the two that she was going to go and test the results of the blood test.

When she came back she asked to talk to Yami off to the side.

"Mr. Sennen, I noticed that Yugi seems a little, well, scared of this whole situation so I wanted to run it by you before I told him what the results of the test were," she told him in a very serious tone.

"Is there something wrong with Yugi?" Yami asked a bit worried.

"Not a lot, just the fact that I have noticed that he is slightly anemic. Um, it just means that he has a lesser count of red blood cells," she said.

"I think he needs to know about this as well, I would like to disgust this with him," Yami said, they broke apart and Yami went back to Yugi's side.

"Okay Yugi, what me and you, um, brother were talking about was the fact that you have a low red blood cell count. It isn't a big problem. I was wondering, um have you had any encounters in which you have had internal bleeding, a low iron count run in your family, or low nutrition?" she asked.

"Well, Yugi was mal-nourished before I adopted him, could that be a reason?" Yami answered.

"Yes, um, is he eating better now?" she asked.

"Well, lately he has been but before like a week ago he wasn't eating well, and throwing up a lot because of other medical reasons," Yami said calmly.

"Okay, now Yugi, answer me as honest as you possible can, do you feel tired a lot, weakness, do you get dizzy recently, or trouble breathing," she asked.

"Sometimes, I do seem to get dizzy often," Yugi said, Yami was surprised, how could Yugi have kept this from him?

"That would make sense," she said writing some things down.

"How will this effect Yugi?" Yami asked.

"Well, he shouldn't be out in the cold for longer then an hour, this in relevant-ness with your upcoming trip. Just take him in and warm him up with a blanket, maybe some hot chocolate," she said. Yami nodded committing this all to memory.

"Yugi, do you feel sick now?" she asked. Yugi shook his head no and she smiled.

"Since it is not a reoccurring thing I believe that it might hurt more then help to give him a blood transfusion, so if you just so as I said then he will be fine," the doctor said leading the two boys out of the room and wishing them the best.

Yami and Yugi left the place returning their home to pack and tell the others to get ready. Yugi was very excited, he couldn't wait, he had never been to the Alps before but Yami reassured him that he was going to love it.

It didn't even hit him that he had never skied before and didn't know the first thing about it.

The day of the trip Yugi woke up with so much excitement. They were going to take a plane to Yami's Ski house in France where they were going to Ski on the French Alps.

"G'morning Yugi," Ryou said as he wiped his sleepy eyes and exited Seto's Limo. Seto had picked up Ryou and Bakura to take them to the airport.

"Morning Ryou, Bakura, Mokuba, Seto. Aren't you all excited we are going to France!" Yugi exclaimed very much awake.

"I've been there already," Seto and Mokuba said at the same time still tired but Ryou's eyes lit up and Bakura smiled.

"Yea, I forgot that we were leaving Japan," Ryou said as he sped up to get on the plane. They were calling first class people to come up.

They all took their seats and put on their seatbelts. They were in a section where there was three seats facing three seats. Yami, Yugi, and Mokuba sat in one row and in the row facing them were Ryou, Bakura, and Seto.

Yugi had wanted to sit near Yami and Ryou had wanted to sit by Bakura and since Mokuba and Seto had flown so many times they didn't have a problem sitting slightly apart.

"So Yami, did you decided which one of your ski houses we were going to stay at?" Seto asked looked at Yami.

"Yea, I decided the best one for the new skiers would be the one on Mount. Chamonix," Yami said.

"I see, I guess that's a good one, Mokuba how did you like that one when we went?" Seto asked his little brother.

"It was cool, but then again I only stayed on the green slopes so I didn't really get to see much of the mountain," Mokuba answered closing his eyes.

Seto laid back and did the same, both brothers didn't like taking off that much and normally closed their eyes and tried to block it out. The rest with the exception of Yami took either a strong grip on the one next to them or the seat or both, both in Yugi and Ryou's case.

"Yami, is it always like this?" Yugi asked and his grip on Yami tightened.

"Yes, I am sorry little one, especially if this scares you. I am right here and you can grip my arm as much as you want," Yami said as he rubbed Yugi's back and the plane did a small drop after gaining altitude.

"Good morning everyone and thank you for choosing Japan Air, we are on a non-stop flight to France. The weather there is very cold so I hope you all packed your winter coats. Now sit back and enjoy the next thirteen hours in this plane," the pilot said.

Yugi was still gripping onto Yami after the plane had leveled out so Yami was starting to get worried. Ryou had settled down and he and Bakura were falling asleep. And the Kaiba brothers were already napping.

"Yugi, are you okay, is everything okay?" he asked.

Yugi shook his head 'no' and it was then that Yami noticed the tears in Yugi's now violet eyes.

"Yugi, shhh, its okay," Yami said, he started to rock Yugi back and forth slightly swaying back and forth. Soon Yugi cried himself to sleep; Yami placed a blanket over his small frame and then nodded off himself.
