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.
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.
