Yugi didn't know what he had expected leaving Joey's Sunday night,

probably just to go home peacefully eat dinner with his

Grandfather then go to bed, but it didn't meet him. He left

Joey's apartment to see Claudia outside her own. She had a key in

her hand but couldn't seem to put it in the lock.

She looked tiered. Her and Seto had been gone since Saturday

morning after she had bought that booster back. No one had seen

them since that time. "Are you okay?" He asked softly trying not

to startle her. She looked at him then fainted.

Yami was worried he had taken control the moment she fainted; he

knew Yugi wasn't strong enough to hold her up. Yami unlocked the

door and walked in. He expected someone else to run through the

kitchen door or another door any moment. But no one did. He put

Claudia on the couch then searched the apartment. There was no

sighs that anyone else lived there.

Claudia woke slowly trying hard to open her eyes. She went to

sit up and was pushed back down by strong hands. Yami was afraid

she would hurt herself if she tried to get up. He held the glass

of water to her lips. "Drink this." He said softly. She drank

slowly then laid back down after a while she opened her eyes.

Then opened them wider in surprise. "Yami what are you doing

here?" She couldn't remember a thing then it all came flooding

back. She closed her eyes. She needed to call Seto.

"I found you outside the apartment you fainted. What happened

where did you and Seto disappear to Saturday morning?" Yami

wanted to get to the bottom of this. "And how do you know my

name?"

Claudia realized she had said Yami's name she had to think fast or

her cover would be blown. But did it matter now? Her mission was

catching up with her quickly. To quickly. She couldn't think

strait. "What do you mean Yugi?" She tried to cover it up and

sat up slowly then went back down putting a hand to her head. She

was still light headed.

"You aren't strong enough to sit up yet. Don't you have a host

family? Why isn't anyone here?" Yami asked a few more questions

on his mind.

//Yami don't ask so many questions. She still is probably having

problems thinking strait.\\

//You are right Hikari. I will not ask so many questions at

once\\ He then returned to his first question. "Where did you

and Seto go?"

She looked at him puzzled for a second then she smiled softly

saying one word before she went back to sleep. "Egypt."

Yugi starred at her puzzled through Yami's eyes. Yami showed the

puzzlement for he was puzzled as well. They asked each other the

same question. //Why had they gone to Egypt?\\

Yami jumped when the phone rang. Yugi had called his grandfather and told him what happened and how to reach him. Claudia had been out for two hours now.

After moving her to her bedroom Yugi ate the dinner that his grandfather had brought him. He was getting ready to lie down on the couch himself and rest his eyes a little but evidently he couldn't do that just yet. "Hello?" He wondered who would be calling at nine thirty at night. "Yugi?" He heard a harsh voice say on the other line. "Where is Claudia?"

"She is in her room she has been sleeping for two hours now." Yami let Yugi take control he didn't want to answer Seto's questions.

"Why are you over there?" Yugi sighed why had Yami chosen then to give him control again? He explained what had happened. Seto was quiet for a second and said. "I'll be right there."

Seto himself hadn't been tired when they got back but he had to see to Mokuba and just barley got time to see if Claudia was okay. He should have seen her home but she insisted she would be fine, and didn't need a ride. But from Yugi's explanation. She needed it more then she thought, or let on.

The limo stopped outside Claudia's apartment building. He thanked his driver and said he would call a taxi for a ride and not for him to worry about it.

Yami answered the door ready for trouble. It was just Seto. But he wasn't happy at all. Seto had a lot of explaining to do.
