Kaiba: (looking around) Umm, Where's LefthandedFreak

Joey: Packing.

Yugi: Packing? Why? She's not moving is she?

Joey: (looks up from hamburger) Um, sort of. She's going up to some sort of city so her parents can take a class on blind vendors. She won't be back home permanently until October or November.

Kaiba: Wait, so she won't update this story till then?

Joey: No she's taking her comp with her. She just doesn't know how long it will take for her to get it set up and her internet working. And if she doesn't get Internet I'm afraid of what she'll do to us.

Kaiba: What could she possibly do to us?

Yami: (walks in with saxophone on his head) Umph…

Joey: (biting into hamburger) That.

Yugi: Well….since Lefthand can't do it, I'll address her two reviewers.

First Dagger

LefthandedFreak goes hard on herself on a lot of things. Probably because she's failing most of her classes. (Sounds of LefthandedFreak cursing and crashing can be heard) and that she can't do a lot of things correctly. She's promised more than once though that she'll make this story fabulous.(hands plushie of a see, hear, and speak no evil Kaiba, Yami, and Yugi with a Joey plushie for the sidelines). Here you go.

And now T.Lei

Kaiba is very uncoordinated. Joey's nice enough to notice too! (smiles) That's why LefthandedFreak loves him. I guess your right bout me getting my feelings right too. I can't help it though (lowers to a whisper) she forces me to do this (a boot flies through the air and hits him)

Kaiba: Looks like she heard you.

Joey: Yeah, sorry mate.

Yami: Mmph thep.

Yugi: Here's the next chapter.(rubs bruise)

Yami stood outside a rundown looking apartment building. Yugi hadn't spoken a word to him in a week other than the fact that he wanted to be left alone. Yami couldn't figure what was wrong. Yugi went out happy and cheerful and came back like the apocalypse came. It was very disturbing.

He felt even worse that he couldn't help. Yugi said that he wouldn't understand. So he went to Joey for advice. His long time friend didn't know what to make of it either. He was basically banished from the house when he was brought over to talk to Yugi. So, using the advice Joey gave him, he went to see Fate. (AN: Joey gave him directions from the one time he visited)

Yami was starting to have second thoughts, though, as he stared at the pile of junk before him. Fate didn't seem the person to live here. Of course, Joey wouldn't lie if he knew where she lived so this had to be the place. It just had to be a very spooky place. Doing as Joey told him, he went up the elevator and to room 27, making sure to step over a few sleeping drunks on the hall floor.

He didn't even get the chance to knock as the door opened. Fate stood, smiling brightly at Yami, her hair pulled up into a loose bun.

"Hi Yami, fancy seeing you here"

"How did you know….", Yami was about to ask how she knew he was there before she interrupted.

"Come in, come in, I'll make you some tea." With that, Fate turned and squeezed her way into the kitchen. Yami stepped inside and shut the door, locking it as soon as he had the chance. Those people where really shady. Inspecting the place wasn't that hard to do. There wasn't much to inspect. A bed and a couch, along with a small counter that held a beat up telephone and a calculator.

Yami found a spot on the couch that looked ok and sat down, making himself comfortable as soon as Fate walked back in.

"I didn't know how you liked your tea so I'm made it like mine". Fate set a tray on top of her bed and handed him a steaming cup of brown liquid. Yami didn't know what to make of it. Fate picked her cup up and sat on top of her bed, sipping slowly on the hot liquid. "So, how goes it"

Yami swirled the 'tea' around a bit. "Ok"

"Any problems"

Was that a leaf he saw? "Umm…I don't know"

Fate raised a brow before looking at the Yami's cup, then to Yami, then the cup. A smile lit her face as she gently pried it from his hands. "Sure ya do. Tell me, how's life with you and Yugi"

Yami brain seemed to start working after the cup was taken away. He fidgeted a bit. "Well, Joey told me you where good at figuring things out and could probably help me with a recent problem. You see, it's Yugi, he's not being himself"

"Oh? How so?"

"Well, a couple of nights ago, he went out for a walk, by himself, cheerful as he usually always is. A few hours later, he comes back home crying for no reason to my knowledge. The only time he leaves his room now is either to go to the bathroom or to eat. He doesn't speak to me though. Say's I won't understand." Yami felt ashamed that he couldn't help his most trusted friend.

Fate kept her eyes on Yami for a long time, studying his face before lightly smiling. "You shouldn't feel bad that you haven't been able to help him out so far. He's not letting you and that's not your fault. "

"I just can't help it. What can I do to help him? What's wrong with him?"

"Tell me, how many nights ago did this start"

" Seven nights ago."

"Ahh, I se now", Fate took a sip of her tea as she stared off into space.

"What, what is it?"

Fate smiled. "He's feeling the pains of a broken heart. Don't know who caused it but all the signs point to that."

"Well, what can I do to make him better"

Fate shook her head. "It works differently than that Yami. He needs time." Yami didn't seem to like this answer as he slumped back into the couch.

"But how will that help. Not talking to people isn't going to help"

"How bout this Yami. I'll think of something tonight, see what I can come up with, and get back to you tomorrow. Meanwhile, you should head home. A lot of weird people come out after dark"

"They seem to be out in the day too"

"Yeah well..", Fate shrugged before helping Yami off the couch and to the door. "For now, I want you to go home and make him something that he likes to eat and make sure he gets a good rest. I'll talk to you tomorrow.". Yami nodded and opened her door.

"Thanks Fate"

"No Problem, Yami. Talk to you later". Yami shrugged at that before heading for the elevator. After he was out of sight, Fate closed the door again and headed for the phone. Jerald flew up from the table.

"What are you up to?", The Calculator inquired as it flew this way and that.

"Oh you'll see. Oh, hello Yugi. I promised I'd call you back. About that dinner I was telling you about. I found the perfect guy." A smile lit up Fate's face.

Kaiba: Ha, it's your turn, it's your turn!

Yami: Make fun of us one more time and I'll pull your tongue out.

Joey: Hoped you guys liked this chapter. . It came out sort of short though. Something she didn't like. I think LefthandedFreak did too when she wrote it. You should have seen her. Swollen ankle, splitting headache, typing away and muttering to herself.

Yugi: Beautiful.

All four: Read and Review.

Yugi : (As they leave, looks at Yami. ) How'd you get the saxophone off?

Yami: I ate it.

Yugi:…..I don't know you.
