Me: *look of pain on face* Yugi please stop jumping on my bed. It's hurting my leg.
Yugi: *stops jumping* Oh sorry. *starts pouting*
Yami: *gives evil death glare* You made my aibou pout.
Me: Sorry but his jumping was irritating my leg and the sooner my leg gets better the quicker I can get outta bed.
Yugi: *brightens up* Ok and are you gunna start the chapter?
Me: Ya as soon as the disclaimer is done.
Yami: *gets a puppy-dog eye look from Yugi* Ok, ok I'll do it. T.G.A.G doesn't own YGO but Kariko is hers'. Happy? *Yugi nods.*
************************************************************************
After waiting like what seemed like forever to Yugi, Seto came out of the operating room.
"Yugi?"
Yugi looked up. "H-hai?" Yami placed his hand on Yugi's shoulder.
"Your sister is gunna be fine. Luckily you got to her in time another few minutes and she probably would have bled to death. Plus the cloth that was wrapped around the wound helped to slow the flow of blood." Seto told them. Yami let out a sigh of relief and Yugi turned and suddenly hugged Yami. Yami was startled at the sudden embrace.
"Thank you Yami. If it hadn't been for you I would have lost my sister." Yugi cried into Yami's shirt, and then he pulled away and faced Seto and lowered his head. "Arigatou Kaiba for treating Kariko." Seto felt slightly uncomfortable with Yugi's head bowed in front of him.
"Just plain thank you is ok and please call me Seto. All my friends do." He said. Yugi looked up in shock. "Any friend of the pup is a friend of mine." Jou came running in from the Kaiba Crop cafeteria.
"I'm...not...a...puppy." He whizzed completely out of breath. "Is...your...sister...ok..." Yugi nodded happily. Jou by that time was able to breath properly again. "Good. Hey Yug do ya know what happened?" Yugi's face paled by about a zillion shades. He looked so white that Yami was afraid that he would pass out. Everyone had their eyes on Yugi who was staring at the floor.
"No we don't. She was like that when we got home." Yami answered for Yugi.
~ Thanks Yami. ~
~~ Your welcome aibou. ~~ Color slowly returned to Yugi's face.
"Can we see Kariko?" He asked softly.
"I'm not sure." Seto replied and walked back into the operating room. A few seconds later come came back. "The medical staff said that if we were quiet we could see her." Yugi ran into the room eager to see his sister. Kariko was sitting on the operating table hooked up to an IV giving her the blood that she lost due to the wound. She had about 100 stitches holding the gash in her abdomen close. Looking up she saw Yugi.
"Big brother (Yugi: She sounds like Mokuba.)" She cried and slid off the table and ran forward pulling the IV out of her arm. Yugi wrapped his younger sister in a big hug and sat on the floor holding her. Yami came in after him and smiled at the sight of the two. He was followed by Seto and Jou.
"Kariko what happened?" Yami asked as he picked up the small child up off the floor. Kariko, who finally trusted Yami, snuggled against him and yawned. Looking down his soft crimson eyes meet bright amethyst ones, half close with sleep. Kariko yawned again laid her head against Yami's chest and fell asleep.
"I think that we should ask her again when she wakes up." Seto laughed quietly.
"Since it is Friday and Seto here was planning a sleep over-" Jou was suddenly cut off when Seto hit him with the pillow from the operating table.
"I should do that. Anyways as the mutt here was saying, I'm having a sleep over tonight and since it looks like Kariko could use the sleep you guys wanna spend the night?" Yugi's face lit up with hope. He looked over at Yami.
~ Can we? ~
~~ Sure aibou if you want. ~~
"Sure Seto that would be nice." Yugi said. It was when Yami to another look at the sleeping child in his arms that he noticed that her face was whiter then usual.
"Umm Seto I think that we should hook her up to the IV again." Yami stated. Seto look at Kariko.
"I think you're right." Seto replied and Yami place Kariko on the table and Seto pushed the IV needle back into Kariko's arm. She flinched slightly. Seto then moved the blood bag to a moveable IV unit. "There now she can come with us. Let's go." Yami once again picked up Kariko and balancing her on one arm he grabbed the portable IV unit with the other, then he followed Seto out of the room. When they reached the front of Kaiba Corp Seto asked them to sit down on the benches outside. "I'll call Mokuba and tell him to send over my limo." Seto told them and pulled out his cell phone. Yugi sat down beside Yami not wanting to let his little sister out of his sight. Yami handed him the IV to hold and shift Kariko so she would be more comfortable. After Seto finished his call he sat down beside Jou who was sitting on Yugi's other side. "The limo will be here in a few minutes." Yugi tried to hide a yawn but really wasn't seceding. Yami chuckled slightly as Yugi's head started to bob as he fell asleep. Giving in to the sleep Yugi curled up beside Yami and his sister. Now that Jou and Seto knew Kariko was alright they took a good look at Yami and realized that he looked a lot like Yugi.
"Umm sorry but I never did get your name." Seto said to Yami.
"Oh my name is Yami." Yami replied flatly.
"Hey can I ask ya a question." Jou asked.
"Sure why not."
"Why do ya look like my friend Yug?" A slight look of panic crossed Yami's features but Jou and Seto didn't notice.
~~ Yugi? ~~
~ Yeah. ~ the mental reply was laced with sleepiness.
~~ I'm going to tell your friends that I'm your older brother. ~~
~ Ok ~
"I'm Yugi's older brother." Yami replied.
"I didn't know Yug had an older brother." Jou said.
"Well I spend the last few years in Egypt." Yami didn't really want to continue the conversation and by that time the limo had shown up. The driver got out an opened the door. Yami looked at the sleeping girl in his arms and the sleeping boy at his side. Seto got up and motioned everyone into the limo then he picked up Yugi. Yami got in the limo still holding Kariko and Seto got in last holding Yugi.
"Home." Seto told the driver.
