I HAVE RETURNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been almost a month, but I HAVE
RETURNED!!!!!!!!!!!! And I think I'm kinda high on Halloween candy, too (as
though you lot aren't). But still, I can't help but be kinda ticked, I mean
THREE reviews for my last chapter? And one of them was mine! Why can't you
be like the reviewers from my other story and flood me with your praise and
undying devotion to my empi-. . . cause? On with the story!
Chapter 16: Joey's Crisis (I honestly don't know what I could say here)
It was several hours of trekking through the forest after they had exited the caverns, and everyone was very worried about their friend with the weird hair. Yugi still hadn't woken up from his faint, though he did occasionally mumble barely intelligible warnings, as though he were watching some gigantic battle a long way away. It was almost night when the group spotted the smoke. "InuYasha? Can you tell whether that's the smoke of another raided village or can we actually expect some help there?" Miroku inquired.
"Heh, I think we're actually in luck for once, guys. I haven't smelled any blood yet, and I haven't sensed any demons since we left the cave."
"Yay! No more tree bark! No more tree bark! Yay! Yay! Yay!"
"Shippo, since when have you had to eat tree bark?"
"Joey told us we were all out of food when we were camping before we were captured, so he told me I'd have to eat tree bark."
"JOEY! WE ARE NOT OUT OF FOOD!"
"I wanted some more fish, so I lied. Happy, Sango?"
"Joey, I know that you are upset about Yugi, but that is hardly any reason to be so mean!"
"Wrong, Kagome. It is a reason. I don't normally fight girls, but you are treading on thin ice. Just leave it at that."
"Guys, can we just calm down a little? We're almost to the village. When we get there, we can get the town doctor to look at Yugi and see if he can help him at all." interrupted Miroku, narrowly averting disaster.
When the gang did get to the town, Miroku did his usual act, and the local innkeeper was more than happy to let the group stay in his (now "exorcised") establishment. The local doctor did not seem to know what exactly was wrong with Yugi, and as near as he could tell, Yugi was just heavily asleep and refused to wake up. He found no signs of physical trauma, so all he could do was pour some medicine down his throat, and do a bit of acupuncture (Joey was far from pleased at the thought of some quack sticking pins into his best friend, but he was kept calm by the others). The doctor agreed to let him stay with the others at the inn, but told them that if anything happened during the night, they were to see him immediately, and to check with him in the morning no matter what.
During dinner( well, more like a banquet, considering how gullible the innkeeper was) Joey was still pretty quiet, and even Kaiba was a little disturbed by the boy's grim mood, and even more so by the amount that he ate, which was nowhere near Joey's usual choke inducing pace. They managed to force some gruel down Yugi's lips without him gagging, and soon they were all asleep.
*********************************
"No! Don't do it! There's no reason to fight each other! Don't listen to what you're told! They are lying to you! Please, stop! OOOOOOOOSSIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRIIIISSSSSS!!!!"
*********************************
Sensing some sort of disturbance in the force, Joey woke up, and noticed how sweaty Yugi was, and that he seemed to have been thrashing about under his blanket. He also noticed how his friends lips were moving, screaming in silence. "Is something the matter Yugi? What are you talking about, man? I just hope it isn't something bad." he said, before he went back to sleep.
*********************************
"No! Thoth! Don't! Why do you believe them! They aren't your enemies! Listen to me! Please! As one gamer to another, I'm begging you to STOP! Please!"
*********************************
When morning broke, Yugi wasn't where he had been laid to sleep.
*********************************
The Three were not pleased about this intrusion into their plans. This pest that had dared attempt to stop them was becoming most annoying, if only in its existence. After thinking about for a while though, they were actually quite pleased. It had been far too long since anything had even recognized the threat they posed. Their numerous minions would also be pleased, for now they had a purpose. The Three finished the popcorn.
Alright people, this is where things get screwy. If you have not already started reading my other stories, DO SO. NOW MORTALS! And for those of you who happen to have an inkling of what I may have planned, well, you may actually be right, since I'm not to worried about secrecy now, but please don't go gabbing about it everywhere, if only to annoy those who haven't figured it out.
P.S. If you guys want to see some of the stuff I've been working for on school just ask in your review, I recently had to do a short story, and it's a lot longer than any given chapter here. And hey, it IS a crossover.
