~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The van drove down the hill heading towards Joey's home. Inside, Grandpa was in the drivers seat, driving of course, while Yami and Yugi were have a conversation.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" Asked Yami, as he held up 3 fingers as far away from Yugi as possible.
Yugi started squinting. "It's too blurry to tell. Bring it closer. A bit more. More. More. More."
"Yugi, I can't bring it any closer or else my hand will crash into your face!"
"Well I still can't even tell the outline of any fingers!" Yugi measured the space between his face and Yami's hand, only to find that it was true.
"This reminds of someone back in Egypt." Yugi rolled his eyes. (-_-0) Yami's Egypt stories always involved him being some sort of hero, someone dying, or how they did things back then. "Orrazies (OR-RAAH-ZEES) was his name," Yami continued. "He was one of the many workers working on one of the pyramids. Couldn't see a thing in front of him. He even flirted with a camel (O_O;) until the owner of the camel shooed him off. Orrazies couldn't work at all with the others, he was always messing things up. Then something had to be done about him."
"What did you do?" Yugi asked, already knowing the answer.
"I had to send him to the lions den. He was useless to everything. We didn't have all this technology back then, so it was the only thing we could do. But the craziest thing happened."
"What?"
"He married the lion! Or lioness as I should say. He thought she was the most beautiful 'women' in the world. Unfortunately as he was coming out of the den one day, he tripped over a rock and fell off a cliff and died." (-_- 0)
"Who died?" Asked one of the newcomers into the van. During the story, Grandpa had reached Joey's home and now both Joey and Tristan were getting inside. Joey had asked the question.
"Oh, hello Joey. Hello Tristan." Yami greeted. "I was just telling Yugi one of my Egyptian stories. Would you like to hear??"
"Ummmm..." Thought Joey. He looked behind Yami to see Yugi shaking his head 'no'. "Maybe another time Yami."
"Oh, okay then." Yami was a bit disappointed. He loved telling his stories. Even if he told them to people who could care less, or were only half- listening.
"So your going to the doctor's Yugi?" Asked Tristan. "What are you going in for? A check-up?"
Yugi shook his head. "No. Something is wrong with my eyes!"
"Yugi," Tristan said, "I'm over here." He tapped Yugi on the shoulder and Yugi turned.
"Oh. Sorry." (^_^0)
"Well I can see you have a problem."
"Maybe yer goin' blind like my sis was." said Joey.
"NO! I CAN'T!" wailed Yugi (O.O;;;), "I JUST CAN'T BE GOING BLIND!!!"
"Calm down Yugi, don't listen to Joey." Tristan glared at Joey. "He's being stupid like always. He didn't mean it."
"Oops." Joey sweat-dropped. "So what's wrong with yer eyes?"
"Everything is blurry!" answered Yugi, "This morning I mistook Grandpa for a beanbag chair!"
"Oh, I see. So how many fingers am I holdin' up?" he asked and held up 3 fingers. Yugi sweat-dropped. 'This is going to be one of those annoying days, isn't it?' he thought to himself. About 10 minutes later they arrived at the hospital. All five got out of the van, and admired the building.
"Boy, they really have expanded the hospital since the last time I took you here, Yugi." Grandpa said.
"Geeze, they have everythin' now! Normal doctor's offices, dentist place, the people that make yer back better-"
"A chiropractor, Joey." Yugi told him.
"Oh yeah. Them. They also have the hospital part, a loads of other stuff." Joey finished up.
"I wonder how they could pay for all this stuff!" pondered Tristan. His question was shorty answered as they entered the hospital. They gazed up at the donations board and found that Kaiba Corp was at the top of the list with $10,000,000! (O_O) They all had to do a double take, except Yugi because he could not read so Joey told him. Then he did a double take.
"Wow! How did they get Kaiba to donate so much?" he questioned.
"I dunno." Joey said. "I never thought Mr. Stuck-up was the donatin' type. I'm gonna ask someone." He spotted one of the doctors and walked over. "'Suce me but how'd ya get Kaiba to donate so much money, if ya don't mind my askin'?"
The doctor looked around him, almost like if he didn't want other people to know before replying to Joey's question. "Let's just say Mr. Kaiba put too many zeros on the check he made out for his little brother's check up." And with that, he walked away. Joey just stood there, blinking for awhile before returning. "Don't ask." Was all he said to the others.
Finally, after a few minutes of wandering, the group found their way up to the main desk. A dark-haired girl about 17, with freckles and aqua eyes, was sitting there flipping through a magazine.
"Excuse me miss," started Grandpa, "My grandson has an appointment with Dr. Tasurugi. (TA-sue-ROO-GEE)"
"Name?" asked the teen without even looking up from her magazine.
"Yugi Muoto."
Without even taking a glance at them, she replied, "3rd floor, room 24A. If you need a map you can find one over there." They looked where she pointed and they decided to get a map just incase. Arriving on the 3rd floor, they used the map to locate room 24A. They passed several rooms where people were being treated for things, such as broken arms, head injuries, X-rays, cat scans, and even braces since the dentist section of the hospital was so close. Grandpa was leading Yugi by the shoulder into Dr. Tasurugi's office. Joey, Tristan, and Yami followed.
Dr. Tasurugi was sitting at his desk looking through some paper work as they came in. "Ahh! Yugi! Long time no see, ne?" He then closed the file and stood up and extended his hand for a greeting, but only got a wave and a 'hello' in return. The doctor recoiled his hand back to its original place, and noticed Yami, Joey, and Tristan. "And who do we have here?"
"Well, these are some of Yugi's friends, Joey Wheeler, and Tristan Taylor. They came because they had nothing to do." Grandpa explained, gesturing to Joey and Tristan. Dr. Tasurugi nodded politely to each of them, and then turned his attention to Yami. Before Grandpa could reply for Yami, he spoke for himself.
"I am Yami Muoto" he said as if he was reading something off a giant cue card, "And I am related to Yugi Muoto because I am his cousin from his father's side. My father and his father are brothers. Thus I have the same last name as him. And he," gesturing to Grandpa, "is also my grandfather." Obviously this false story was planned ahead of time and memorized to the point that Yami's head would explode. Although, it didn't of course! (^_^)
Dr. Tasurugi nodded politely, while mildly sweat-dropping. "Well, now back to the reason we're here." He turned to Yugi and guided him over to a chair with many contraptions around it, and hanging on the ceiling above it. After a little more guidance, Yugi finally sat atop the chair, facing a white screen several feet away.
"Now Yugi," Dr. Tasurugi said as he pushed the peddle on the floor that caused Yugi's chair to raise several inches from where it rested, "please tell me how long have things been blurry to you?"
"Well, just this morning," he replied. "I woke up, like I always do, but everything was blurry. I thought Yami was a giant plastic gingerbread-man-" -both Joey and Tristan snickered at this- "-believed my socks were rabid albino hamsters planning on ruling the earth-," -obviously that happened in the time when Yami went down to get Grandpa and left Yugi all alone- "- couldn't see Yami's fingers right in front of my face, and mistook Grandpa to be a beanbag chair!"
Dr. Tasurugi just stared at Yugi for a moment before tinkering with a projector machine. "Now Yugi," he said and turned off the lights and started up the projector, "I want you to read the projected letters over there, and read as far as you can, okay?"
"Okay."
"Good. Now take your time."
Several minutes went by. Joey, Tristan, Yami, and Grandpa had made themselves comfortable in some of the chairs nearby. Since there were only 3 chairs, Yami stood, allowing his friends and his elder to sit. He enjoyed standing anyways, as he could always stand in 'his pose' leaned up against a wall.
"Yugi," Dr. Tasurugi spoke while rubbing his temples, "when I said 'take your time', I meant not for ever. I do have other appointments you know."
"Yes I know," Yugi answered, "I'm just waiting for you to put the letters up there! I don't see any letters." Everyone sweatdropped as they turned to the white screen with several huge letters on it.
"Ya mean ya don't even see anythin' Yug?!?" Joey questioned. Yugi just shook his head 'no'.
"Well that's settled." Dr. Tasurugi turned off the projector and turned the lights back on. He then pulled out a flashlight and headed back to Yugi. "There is something defiantly wrong with your eyes. Now please look straight ahead. I am going to check your eyes."
As Yugi followed his orders and looked ahead, Dr. Tasurugi clicked on his little flashlight and using it, he peered into each of Yugi's eyes for a minute or two each. Apparently he knew what he was looking for and shortly after he turned off his flashlight, he started writing stuff down in Yugi's file.
Grandpa stood up headed to the doctor. "Well?" He asked, "What is wrong with my grandson?"
Dr. Tasurugi finished writing down notes in the file and replied, "He has stigmatisms in both eyes. Also due to the fact that I see that he has started his growth spurt, his eyes, head, and everything is growing bigger, which also is apparently effecting his vision."
"So, am I going blind??" Yugi meekly asked.
"Oh no, not blind." responded Dr. Tasurugi, "You just may need some proper eye correctional gear for some time."
Joey stood up. "What da ya mean by that?" he asked.
"Glasses." Yugi almost fainted. "GLASSES?!?!?" he sputtered out. "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!"
"Oh but I am, Yugi. Unless you would rather go walking around town bumping into trees, other people, maybe walking into the road with a car heading toward you and-"
"Okay! Okay! I get it." Yugi cringed in his seat at the thought of wearing glasses. It seems that the 'I will give everything a chance' Yugi has left the building.
"Well, why can't Yugi get a pair of contacts?" asked Tristan, speaking up for the first time.
Dr. Tasurugi looked down at the notes he had just taken moments ago, before answering the question. "Yugi's case is very special and very unusual. Although contacts would allow Yugi to see better, they would not help him as much as glasses. Unless Yugi would like to wear contacts for the rest of his life, I suggest he takes the glasses."
"THE REST OF HIS LIFE?!?!?!?" everyone shouted at once. Actually only Joey, Yugi and Tristan shouted. Yami and Grandpa had their voices at a respectable level, and of course Dr. Tasurugi wouldn't shout back at his own comments.
"Yes. The rest of his life. Now if you don't mind. I would like to get a move on this appointment. I have several more appointments after this." And with that, he pulled down one of the machines hanging from the ceiling and placed it in front of Yugi's face. It looked like those face masks you wear on your eyes for Halloween. (What Mai wore when she was Madam Butterfly in Kaiba's virtual game. Except without the butterfly.) But this thing was much, much bigger than regular ones, and was metal with several different knobs and buttons on it.
Once again Dr. Tasurugi turned off the lights and put on the projector again. He used some of the knobs on the machine thing to cut off the vision of Yugi's left eye hole, and adjusted the lens in the right eye hole so if had a stronger prescription. He then told Yugi to look into the machine's eye holes and read the projected letter-chart as far as he could.
Yugi peered at the chart and called off the only letter he could see. "E, and that's the only letter that isn't too blurry to read."
This time, Dr, Tasurugi adjusted the lens with a control at his desk. "Please tell me which is better to see from. A-" then he changed the lens, "-or B?"
"B."
"Can you read anymore letters?"
"No, they are still blurry, but less blurry than before."
"Okay, which is better, A or B?"
"B." This continued for some time with Yugi shouting out the letters on the projected screen that he could see, and stating whether A or B was better. It wasn't always the B's Yugi could see better in, some were A's. Finally after about 10 minutes, Dr. Tasurugi seemed satisfied. Either that, or he ran out of prescription lenses. He then cut the vision off of the right eye hole, and opened up the left eye hole. Then he proceed to do the same procedure with that eye.
10 more minutes passed by before Dr. Tasurugi turned off the projector, turned on the lights, and wrote some more information down. Joey and Tristan were having fun testing their eyes too, while Yugi did his test. Yami had occupied himself with some of the doctor's tools such as the pliers, stethoscope, and cotton bandages. He was mumbling something about Egypt, which no one paid attention to. Finally Dr. Tasurugi finished his log, and handed Grandpa a piece of paper with Yugi's prescription on it.
"Take this," he said, "and go to 'Hiei(hee-A)'s Eye World'(1) store in town. You can order the prescription there, and also receive your glasses there as well. Now just pay at the desk when your exiting. Oh, and have a lollypop Yugi." (^_^) He held out a bowl of lollypops to Yugi, and Yugi took a neon orange one and thanked him. After saying goodbye, they left. Yugi unwrapped his lollypop and started licking it. (^-^)
They wandered down the hall in the order of Joey and Tristan side-by-side in front (who, might I add were taking up most of the hallway space), Yami next, with Yugi behind him. Grandpa had headed off to pay the bill already. All of a sudden Joey and Tristan stopped wide-eyed staring at something up ahead. Yami stopped just in time, but Yugi wasn't so lucky and crashed mildly right into Yami. Yami was too interested in finding out what Joey and Tristan stopped about to notice. Unfortunately for Yami, and Yugi, Yugi's lollypop just so happened to be right in front of his mouth at that time, and it suddenly disappeared from his hand and found a new home...on Yami's backside!
"Hey, why did you stop?" Yami asked, not being tall enough to see over both Tristan's and Joey's towering figures. Both of the boys just stood there, zombie-look. Yami was getting irritated. Meanwhile, Yugi just stared at the lollypop. What was he going to do? He's going to be in so much trouble when Yami finds out. But he does have an excuse, he can't see. He was also too afraid to pull it off, seeing as he thought Yami would notice this. Anyways, back to upfront. Joey and Tristan finally got over their shock of what ever it was, and parted aside for both Yami and Yugi to see. Yami's jaw dropped. Looking over at some of the put up x-rays, stood a very familiar face. And that face was...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(1) Hiei's Eye World- I named this after Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho! Hiei is a demon with many, many eyes all over his body in his true form. That's why I found it funny! Oh, and I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, and yes his name is really pronounced hee-A for all of you non-Yu Yu Hakusho watchers!
So how was this chapter? I found it much more entertaining than the last one. But do you really think that I would be so mean as to leave you with such a mean cliffhanger?!?!? Well, guess what! I AM! =^-^=
Marshmallow! =^-^=
Yeah right! I would never do anything like that! It's not in my blood! ^_^ Here's the rest of the chapter!

Joey and Tristan finally got over their shock of what ever it was, and parted aside for both Yami and Yugi to see. Yami's jaw dropped. Looking over at some of the put up x-rays, stood a very familiar face. And that face was...
"YAMI BAKURA!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ooooh! What's Yami Bakura doing at the hospital?!?!? Is he by himself?!?!?!? And what will happen when Yami discovers the lollypop on his back?!?!?!? All these questions will be answered in the next chapter! Oh, and please tell me what color should Yugi's glasses be? If no one tells me, I'll make him wear those fat, black, tape-around-the-middle glasses! =^-^= (Actually no I wouldn't but that's besides the point!) Please review! And suggestions are welcomed! =^-^=

"Take this," he said, "and go to 'Hiei(hee-A)'s Eye World'(1) store in town. You can order the prescription there, and also receive your glasses there as well. Now just pay at the desk when your exiting. Oh, and have a lollypop Yugi." (^_^) He held out a bowl of lollypops to Yugi, and Yugi took a neon orange one and thanked him. After saying goodbye, they left. Yugi unwrapped his lollypop and started licking it. (^-^)
They wandered down the hall in the order of Joey and Tristan side-by-side in front (who, might I add were taking up most of the hallway space), Yami next, with Yugi behind him. Grandpa had headed off to pay the bill already. All of a sudden Joey and Tristan stopped wide-eyed staring at something up ahead. Yami stopped just in time, but Yugi wasn't so lucky and crashed mildly right into Yami. Yami was too interested in finding out what Joey and Tristan stopped about to notice. Unfortunately for Yami, and Yugi, Yugi's lollypop just so happened to be right in front of his mouth at that time, and it suddenly disappeared from his hand and found a new home...on Yami's backside!
"Hey, why did you stop?" Yami asked, not being tall enough to see over both Tristan's and Joey's towering figures. Both of the boys just stood there, zombie-look. Yami was getting irritated. Meanwhile, Yugi just stared at the lollypop. What was he going to do? He's going to be in so much trouble when Yami finds out. But he does have an excuse, he can't see. He was also too afraid to pull it off, seeing as he thought Yami would notice this. Anyways, back to upfront. Joey and Tristan finally got over their shock of what ever it was, and parted aside for both Yami and Yugi to see. Yami's jaw dropped. Looking over at some of the put up x-rays, stood a very familiar face. And that face was...

(1) Hiei's Eye World- I named this after Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho! Hiei is a demon with many, many eyes all over his body in his true form. That's why I found it funny! Oh, and I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, and yes his name is really pronounced hee-A for all of you non-Yu Yu Hakusho watchers!
So how was this chapter? I found it much more entertaining than the last one. But do you really think that I would be so mean as to leave you with such a mean cliffhanger?!?!? Well, guess what! I AM! =^-^=
Marshmallow! =^-^=
Yeah right! I would never do anything like that! It's not in my blood! ^_^ Here's the rest of the chapter!

"YAMI BAKURA!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ooooh! What's Yami Bakura doing at the hospital?!?!? Is he by himself?!?!?!? And what will happen when Yami discovers the lollypop on his back?!?!?!? All these questions will be answered in the next chapter! Oh, and please tell me what color should Yugi's glasses be? If no one tells me, I'll make him wear those fat, black, tape-around-the-middle glasses! =^-^= (Actually no I wouldn't but that's besides the point!) Please review! And suggestions are welcomed! =^-^=
