Chapter 5: Mixed Realities
Tea walked into her room and collapsed onto the bed, her face buried into the soft pillow.
'Why did I confess to Seto Kaiba? It's not like he cares. Or does he? I don't know. I'm just too tierd to think!' Tea sighed, her eyes slowly slid shut and she sunk into utter blackness.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------
Kaiba tucked Mokuba and Kari, who protested because she was drunk, into bed. He had some difficultly with her.
'Kari's first time drunk. Am I like that?' Kaiba thought wearily.
"Seto," Mokuba's voice trailed from his room. Kaiba got up and walked to Mokuba's bedroom.
"Yes Mokie?" Seto sat down on the edge of Mokuba's bed.
"Will Yugi be ok? I mean he did look pale..." Mokuba looked at Seto worriedly.
"Yes, I know he will." Seto stood up and walked toward the door. "Night Mokie..." Seto said before he left and shut the door.
He stared at his laptop, unsure of what to write. In the end he decided to retire to his bedroom. He layed down. As soon as his head hit the pillow he fell asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Yugi lay there. His bangs drooping over his eyes like limp rags. He was sweating like mad and Yami couldn't get to sleep.
"Yugi are you ok?" Lily walked in to him sweating profoundly.
"Huh...sis..." Yugi semi-opened his eyes only to fall back asleep again.
"I'll let you sleep. Night bro."
//Night brother...//
/Luna you never told me Yami was your brother!/
//I know, but I wasn't ready to say anything tonight.//
/Ok./
^ Inside the puzzle ^
//Yugi are you ok? // Yami entered the soul room. Blood starting to ooze up Yugi's legs. Yami picked up Yugi, surprising light, and carried him off to his own soul room.
/Thanks Yami. I don't know what's going on. I just feel so weak lately. /
//It'll be ok. You can stay in my soul room. // Yami placed Yugi on a bed that just appeared and let him drift off to sleep.
'I wonder what Yugi is thinking.' Yami walked off in a large dark corridor of the depths of the millenium puzzle.
^ Outside the puzzle ^

Lily lay in her bed.
//What is bothering you?// Luna took a seat next to Lily's bed.
/My brother, he's so...distant... / Lily began to cry into Luna's shoulder.
//Calm down, let's go check on him... // Luna helped Lily up.

Joey sat up playing "Killer Crunchers 2" while thinking of Yugi's condition.
'Poor Yug...' Joey turned the game off and crawled into bed.
"JOEY GET TO BED NOW!" his dad yelled drunkenly.
"I AM!" Joey yelled back.
'Poor Yug...' Joey said mentally again and fell asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------
Tristan paced up and down waiting for the popcorn to finish poping.
"Hurry up would ya!" Tristan yelled at the microwave out of pure anger, not from it being too slow, no, it was because of Yugi's condition.
'Why did this happen to him? He never deserved that...maybe Kaiba, but not Yugi!' Tristan punched the counter top. 'Dang! That hurt!'
Duke walked in. He let Tristan stay at his apartment until Tristan found one of his own.
"That banging is going to wake the neighbours. Would you stop it?" Duke gave a joking smile.
"I'm just worried about Yugi..." Tristan sighed.
"We all are. Hey Serenity called, she said you forgot your coat her house."
"Yeah so what?"
"YOU WERE AT HER HOUSE?!" Duke looked like he could kill Tristan.
"Yeah. She invited me, she asked me a good way to get a guys attention. I think she likes Seto Kaiba." Tristan sunk into a kitchen chair.
"Aw man!" Duke clentched his fist.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Trista combed her hair out slowly. It's not like she was vain, she was just worried.
'Yugi why won't you tell us what's wrong on your own?' Trista stood up and crawled into bed. All she could do was stare at the ceiling trying to figure out what was wrong.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------
Lily walked into Yugi's room. Nope still asleep...
