Hey guys! It's me, the authoress, again. Just a little reminder before I start this chapter. Number one: This will be my final chapter until I get at least 5 reviews. Until then, no more chapters. Number 2: My Muse proof shield is currently missing. *Gives suspicious look at muse* So, my muse will be popping up at random times in the story. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Muse: ^_^ Hurrah! She finally lost the shield!
Authoress: Ahem! *scowls*
M: Well A, can I do the Disclaimer?
A: Might as well, no one else here to do it.
M: ^___^ YAY!!
M: She doesn't own Yugioh, or any of it's characters, ok?
ON WITH THE STORY!!
When Yugi sprinted through the Game Shop doors, he noticed that there was still no one home. "Figures." Yugi said aloud, but shoved his bitter thoughts aside for the moment, so that he could keep the girl alive.
She was hardly breathing anymore. Blood covered her torso, and was oozing from a deep gash on her neck. That was the wound that had Yugi worried the most. It was a deep cut, and it looked as though it was very close to, if not on a major artery. If whatever cut her, had gone about 2 centimeters deeper, the girl would most likely be dead.
Adding to her bleeding torso, and slashed neck, her arm, was another thing that had Yugi worried. It too was bleeding, but it was also laying at a rather odd angle. It looked to be broken, and Yugi wasn't sure if he had a splint anywhere in the shop. "I need to wake this girl up." Yugi murmured to himself. The girl needed to be awake, so that Yugi could wrap her wounds, otherwise, he would need to support her dead weight, and wrap bandages at the same time. Not something he thought that he could easily accomplish.
Yugi moved swiftly over to the couch, and laid the unconscious girl upon it. She laid very still, and Yugi had to watch very closely to see her breath. He placed his cool palms on her forehead, trying to see if she had a fever or not. Her head was burning hot, and Yugi surmised that she had been lying out there for quite a while. Thinking of what to do next, he ran into the kitchen, and filled a bowl with cold water, and grabbed a rag from the neighboring closet.
Sprinting back into the living room, Yugi dunked the rag into the cold water, and quickly started washing away the blood that was staining her skin. Yugi hadn't realized how much blood had coated the poor girl. The bowl of water was soon dyed a pale red, from the amount of blood that needed to be washed off (Muse: Eww! You can really be morbid if you want to…)
Once all of the blood had been washed from the girls face, Yugi could see where the major cuts and gashes were, and bandage them with ease. It was the next bit, that would prove to be very difficult. As Yugi took the sopping rag to the girls neck, she suddenly woke with a start. Her eyelids snapped open, and she looked around, trying to figure out where she was. Quickly turning her head, the girl saw Yugi, and panicked. She almost rolled off the couch in terror, and made several vain attempts to sit up, but to no avail. Defeated, the girl turned her head to Yugi once more, and looked at him with eyes that clearly spoke off defeat.
Yugi stared deeply into the girls defeated eyes. She was so terrified, so distressed, that Yugi wanted to hold her, and reassure her that everything would be alright. Thinking that, just might scare her more, Yugi laid a hand on her uninjured shoulder, and said quietly, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Just please relax, and try to stay awake." Yugi could see the fear slowly leaving her, and she seemed to trust him, sort of. (Muse: *sigh* Are you ever gonna tell us WHO this girl is? Authoress: Not quite yet, my impatient muse. Muse: *scowls*)
"Hang on one second." Yugi told the girl reassuringly. "I'll be right back, I need to get a splint for your arm." The girl looked scared to see him leaving her so soon, but nodded, and Yugi hastened down to the basement where he thought the splint could be found. (Muse: This girl can't really make up her mind now can she? Authoress: Be quiet Muse, or I'll get Kaiba to make me another Muse proof shield. Muse: O.O)
Yugi ran down the uneven steps to the basement, and went over to the shelf. This shelf was cluttered with many assortments of things, but Yugi remembered his Grandpa putting the arm splint away here, from when he, Yugi, broken his arm. Just as he thought, the splint was there, and Yugi raced back up the steps, to the main floor of the shop.
The girl was sweating with pain, and she looked on the verge of tears as Yugi came into the living room. However, the girl seemed to be holding her tears back, but it was most definite, that she was losing the battle. Yugi knelt beside the couch, and spoke softly to the girl. "Listen, I'm going to have to straighten out your arm, if I want to put the splint on it, Ok?" The girl looked terrified at the prospect of her broken arm being moved, and she tried her best to move away from Yugi, but only succeeded in furthering herself in the couch cushions. "Listen," Yugi said again. "I'm not going to lie to you and say that it won't hurt, but if I don't, your arm won't heal, and I can't fix it then." The girl seemed to be weighing her choices. Her first option seemed to be most promising, so she took a deep breath, and held her arm out for Yugi.
Yugi set himself to work, almost immediately. He gently took her shirt sleeve, and tore it away from the shoulder down, and took the wet cloth again. He very tenderly wiped the dry and caked blood off of the girls broken arm, and apologized when he saw the girl visibly wince. "Ok, now I'm going to straighten your arm." Yugi said soothingly. "I'm going to need you to sit up straight, and lean against the couch's arm." The girl looked rather frightened, but did as he asked, and clenched her teeth together. Giving the girl a weak smile, Yugi, took the girls arm firmly but gently in his right hand, and her shoulder in his left, and quickly snapped the bones back into place.
The girl screamed with pain, and finally began to cry. It was only softly, but crying all the same. Yugi rapidly placed the girls arm in the splint and tied it tightly. The girl was crying and leaning against the couch arm, but it seemed that she was desperately trying not to scream. Yugi felt terrible, but knew that it had to be done. He quickly bandaged all of the girls other cuts, and told the girl that he was finished.
The girl looked to be very apprehensive, but looked at Yugi once more. "Um, well…" Yugi began, intelligently. "Do you at least want to tell me your name?"

I WILL NOT be posting the next chapter, until I get 5 reviews. If you check my reviewing boxy thingy, you will see that I seem to have reviewed my own thing. That was not me, but my younger cousins review, on my name. Well, I hope that you review, remember 5 reviews, or no chapter! Bye!
