Shadu: Hey, Ish helped me with this chapter, you'll see why when you read it.

Ish: Itwasfun!Wasn'tit?Wasn'tit?Wasn'tit?I'mfun,aren'tI?Aren'tI?I'mfun,greatfun,loadsoffun.

Hokage: As fun as cancer.

Ish: Yay!

Hokage: --;

Shadu: Oh and I want to make one thing clear. In case you were wondering, this is not Yaoi, this is just strong brotherly love. I'm sure no one was thinking that, but in case you were. I can write that, but I refuse to write Yaoi. This is probably as close to it as I'll get.

Hokage: Yeah, we won't write that.

Shadu: Well, that's it.

Hokage: We dun own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yugi and Jamie finally made it to the Game Shop. Magic, who had arrived only last night, was sleeping on the couch.

Yugi now got a good look at him. His fur was a blend of all shades of gray, brown and black, with little flecks of blue and purple here and there. He bore the Millennium Symbol on his forehead and was very slender. But his muscles were fine tuned to do exactly what they were told. Yugi was sure that he looked very majestic. But despite this, he looked ragged, and weary. His skin was tightly pulled over his frame, showing each and everyone of his ribs. His tail was torn in many places. He looked old.

"Magic, you feeling okay?" Jamie asked him as the two passed Magic.

"Tired," Magic grumbled.

"Need anything?" Jamie asked.

"Time to sleep, then food," Magic opened one eye.

"Alright," Jamie nodded.

"The cards are right over here," Yugi told Jamie, picking up a box from underneath a desk.

"Okay, mind if I go to get something to drink first?" Jamie asked.

"No," Yugi told her.

Jamie went into the kitchen. She looked in the fridge. Hmmm, so many choices. Milk? Nah, that's being good. Sunny D? Nah, that's being good too. Coke? Eh, getting warmer, but she would look for something else. Sprite? Yuck, no thanks. Mr. Pibb? Yeah, now THAT'S the good stuff.

Reaching into the refridgerator, she pulled out a Mr. Pibb. Popping the top, she took a long, slow gulp. The caffinated drink slipped into her body, energizing her. She took another. More energy poured into her. She did this until she had finished the can, and was overflowing with energy. She walked to where Yugi was sorting cards.

"HeyYugi,let'sdosomething,huh?Huh?Huh?" she spoke too quickly for his ears to comprehend.

"Huh? Slow down Jamie," he told her.

"Why?Whyslowdown?I'mnottalkingfast,I'mnottalkingfast," Jamie told him.

"Um," Yugi looked at her blankly.

"What'sbehindthisdoor?Huh?Huh?" Jamie asked, reaching for a door knob.

"No! You can't, that's Grampa's storage room!" Yugi raced over to her.

"Oh,really,thenwaht'sbehindthisone?" Jamie went over to another.

"That's the bathroom," Yugi sighed.

"Howaboutthisone?Huh?Huh?" Jamie raced to yet another.

"That's the closet," Yugi replied.

"Oh,okay," Jamie grinned evilly and walked over to Magic.

She went and pulled on his skinny, tattered tail. Magic let out a yelp and was up on his feet in an instant. Jamie giggled and started towards Magic, who backed away.

"Jamie, maybe you should leave him alone, he's not feeling well," Yugi cautioned.

But Jamie paid no attention. She chased Magic around and around the shop, Magic all the while keeping his tail, and the rest of his body out of her reach. She eventually cornered him.

"Magic,let'splay.Let'splay!!!" Jamie smiled.

Magic growled menecingly.

"Jamie, let Magic go, he's irritable," Yugi cautioned. "He's libale to bite."

Jamie didn't pay any attention to Yugi and reached out to pet Magic when a sharp pain ran through her hand. The next thing she knew, she was looking at her hand, which was bleeding pretty badly, and Magic had a little blood on his teeth.

"I told you," Yugi sighed as he went to get a first-aid kit.

"Ow,hebitme," Jamie wimpered as she backed away from Magic, who escaped the corner and went back to the couch. "Youmean,meancreature,youmonster!Ithurts,makeitstopYugi."

"Working on it," Yugi returned the the first-aid kit that was stored in the bathroom.

After cleaning the wound, Yugi wrapped it up. Jamie was so happy, that after he had finished, she jumped up and started dancing around the house. Magic just watched in disgust with one eye open for a while, then, decieding he was in no danger, went back to sleep. After two hours, the effects of the caffeine and sugar wore off, and Jamie fell onto the couch, tired, but happy.

"Want to stay for dinner, you might as well, it's almost done," Yugi poked his head into the living room.

"Sure, smells good," Jamie smiled at him.

"I see you're back to normal," Yugi observed.

"As normal as she gets thank goodness," Magic added.

"What's for dinner?" Jamie wondered, ignoring Magic's snide remark.

"Fettichini Alferdo with chicken, one of the things I can cook without assitence," Yugi answered. "I made a lot, because you and I have to eat, and it looks like Magic could use a few pounds."

"Yeah, 5,000 years in the Shadow Realm'll do that to a fella," Magic stated.

They all ate dinner. Yugi was more talkative now that he had been earlier that day. It seemed the cloud was lifting, and he was feeling better.

Shadu: Yeah, hyperness, ness, ness.

Hokage: The repeating of the ending is just a quirk of Shadu's.

Shadu: Yeah, well, you know...Review please?
