Peggi-*gasps* due to sakuuya's evil parental controls I doubt she'll be reading this.

Marik-And the readers care about that why?

Peggi-They don't. But I just had to say it. There's nothing else to say here cuz I'm definitely not saying that I don't own Yugioh or anything like that, so. . .yeah. *realizes what she's just said* Grrrrrr. . .well, R&R please!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When Zoë woke up, she was worried sick. Miranda and Yugi had told her to keep him on the couch, but now Marik was gone. She paced nervously until the door opened. It was Marik with Miranda to his left and Yami to his right, and they were helping him into the house.

"I'm so sorry!" Zoë apologized.

"I'm the one who should be sorry. I left you alone watching over him. I'm partly responsible." Miranda said.

"He probably left because of what I did, though. So it's my fault."

"what'd you do?" Miranda inquired. Apparently Marik hadn't mentioned anything about the Millennium Rod incident.

Zoë opened her mouth to say something but Marik answered for her.

"I wanted to leave but she said no and then we got into an argument. She started yelling at me is all. I didn't like it to much."

Zoë was more than grateful Marik had lied. Even though she'd only tried to help, she could have been killed had Marik been more angry. Miranda had told her that if she wanted to help, never work without her there. And now Zoe knew why. Taking the items wasn't as easy as it looked.

"Well, c'mon, Marik. Let's get you stitched up. . .again. . ." said Yugi who Zoe hadn't seen hidden behind the other three standing in the doorway.

Marik more than reluctantly followed Yugi to be stitched up again.

'Why couldn't I have just minded my own business?' Marik wondered, wishing he hadn't gone after Miranda.

Zoë helped clean Miranda's wounds. Once they were done, Miranda went to lay down.

"Is your sister a psycho or something?" Yami asked Zoë.

"Huh?!" the question more than just surprised her.

"Well, she keeps doing the same things over and nearly gets herself killed each time. Miranda has to be some kind of suicidal psycho, right?"

Miranda didn't wait for a reply before she doubled back.

'so, he thinks I'm insane?' she asked herself.

*Flash-Back*

Miranda was more than angry with zoe. Psycho? She didn't understand what having powers was like. Since she was five years old, she could sense energy and feel people's auras. It took her a while, but once she realized what she was sensing, she told her parents about it. They took her to see Dr. Morgan.

Here she was, her first day home from the institution, and Zoë was putting her down to show off.

'she must be punished' Miranda thought, darkly.

*End Flash-Back*

As Miranda passed the living room, she focused her attention on Marik and Yugi.

"You're not touching me with that thing!" Marik shouted as Yugi tried to sew him up again.

"But the stitches will help you heal!"

"So what?! No way am I allowing you to touch me with that needle again!"

"But-"

"No. Ask again and you'll be playing in the Shadow Realm for a long while!"

Yugi just sighed as he wrapped the bandages around Marik's open stomach wounds. . .again.

"Yugi. . .did you know your hair sticks straight up and it has three colors? It looks weird and-OW!!!!!"

Yugi tightened the bandages up so tight it hurt Marik. . .but at least it got him to shut up!

"Stop talking so much. . .it's making the bandages get too tight." Yugi lied.

Miranda smiled as she entered the room.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Marik-Yugi, you're such a liar! You were tightening the bandages on purpose!

Yugi-Was not! *acting innocent*

Marik-*evil glare*

Peggi-blah, well, as was said before, please review! Thankies in advance!
