"What just happened?" Yugi exclaimed.

"I dunno...I just gave him this stuff! You said to do it." Joey responded.

"Is he breathing?"

"Take his blood pressure!"

"With what, Joey!"

"Your millennium puzzle?" Joey said scratching his dome. "I didn't mean to do it!"

"Joey I'm not blaming you, just relax"

"Is Yami gone?" Joey wondered as he placed a hand on Yami's rising chest.

Tea was standing in the corner, allowing the coarse walls to balance her weight. The tiny splinters in the wood were tearing minute holes in the back of her shirt. The stress of seeing her friend like this drove her to the brink of insanity. "I have to get a hold of myself...I must," she said, balling her hand into a fist. She approached Yami.

"Where do you think you're going, girly?" Joey said as he noticed Tea trying to approach the body. "If you think you're coming any closer after that stunt you pulled a few minutes back you have another thing coming."

Tea could do nothing but stare at the ground. She gave up on him...on Yami when he needed her the most. He would have never done the same. She felt a tear welling up in her eye.

"Well, what do you got to say for yourself!?" Joey exclaimed.

"Joey, calm down," Yugi said. "We need to trust Tea if we are going to survive."

"What! I know you saw what I saw back there. She completely gave up on Yami!"

"She's just afraid Joey. Right Tea—"

"What!"

Before Yugi could finish defending her, Tea was running past Joey and Yugi toward Yami. She collapsed near the table and hugged his body. She was crying.

"I'm so sorry, Yami!" Tea wept.

"Why you..." Joey Started. But before he could go about bouncing Tea, Yugi stepped in and approached her.

"What's wrong with her?" Yugi thought. "Ever since Yami had his own body she's been acting strange."

"He's still breathing!" Tea exclaimed.

"No thanks to you," Joey added.

"C'mon, now that he's sedated we've got to clean his wounds and wrap him up."

"I can do it," Tea declared.

Joey shot a look at Yugi, hoping that he wouldn't comply.

"Um, Tea, you've been under lots of stress. Maybe we should do it?" Yugi asked.

"I thought you said you have to trust me?

"You see, we do," Joey started "But we don't trust you alone with Yami cause you might try to kill him again."

"I did not try to kill him! Now you guy go out a see if you can find food or water. I'm fine," Tea claimed, and grabbed the medical bag. "Now go."

"She's psycho, Yugi," Joey whispered.

"I heard that!" Tea yelled.

"Hey, can you say that any louder, I don't think Yami could hear you!"

"You're such a jerk, Joey!"

"Guys, please don't fight like this!" Yugi interrupted. He eyed Tea from the floor up. Her appearance was worn down. Her face was dirty, her hands were body and she was shacking immeasurably. "Yeah, you look crazy," Yugi smiled. "But you're my friend Tea." Yugi walked up to her tall figure. "We have to trust in each other if we want to survive."

"Thanks Yugi," Tea smiled. "I won't let you down."

Joey had already left the room.

"I know Joey's mad right now, but give him a while."

"Okay Yugi. Now go, we've got to get some food."

"Mmhhm," Yugi responded as he slowly limped out to catch up with Joey. Tea had forgotten about Yugi's injuries. "He so strong."

They had left Tea alone with Yami. His body was completely limp and she could move it however she wanted. However, she was still not strong enough to pick him up, so she decided to leave him on the table and undress him there. His clothes were completely soaked and could not be washed and re-used because of all the tears in them. So she slowly ripped them off his body. She wondered what the Pharaoh would say if he woke up and saw her doing this, she almost feared it, and almost wanted it, but it never happened. He was fixated in darkness. It did not take her long to get his jacket, black shirt, and boots off. She began to slowly wrap his body up with gauze...an all too familiar process for the mighty pharaoh.

Whenever will the sun shine for Yami and Yugi? Not in this shortie. Longer chapters to come this week. But until then, do you think Joey and Yugi should have left Tea alone with Yugi?
