Dear Doctor

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!, and I am not a Doctor.

This story, as the summary says, is dedicated to my Grandfather.

Dear Journal,

Urgh, my head... And I've lost my Swipe Card! Thank Kami-sama I always keep a spare in my office, but even so! That person... What hair! Surely that can't be right! Blonde and spiky, a little like Motou-san's... Manic lavender eyes...

Odd. Now that I come to think about him, I can't remember who... he... was...

What was I writing about?

Never mind. Twink it out later.

Hmm. Note to self. Never attempt to write in this thing after... what was it? Fainting? My heartbeat and breathing rate haven't changed. Hitting my head hard enough to black out? Possible, but there's no mark or bruise to indicate this. Dizzy spell? Plausible enough on this blimp, with the air-pressure the way it is.

Maybe I should ask one of my nurses to give me a quick check. It probably wouldn't be a good thing for me to faint again, things on this blimp being the way they are. Meantime, I'm off to get a couple of Panadol and a glass of water.

Later:

Well, it seems my prediction has come true. There are three Duelists in various hospital beds on this blimp. This one appears to by in a coma, although, from what I overheard, the friends of Kujaku-san believe that she has had her soul taken away to some sort of 'Shadow Realm'. I have resisted the urge to tell them otherwise. Children have such vibrant imaginations! And their feelings are easily hurt into the bargain.

I was not able to see what happened in this Duel. A major power surge unexpectedly stopped all visual and audio equipment from the Dueling Arena. I can only take the children's words that Ishtal-san is to blame for all for of the injuries that have happened on this trip, from that 'thunderstorm', to Kujaku-san's coma. I will admit, Ishtal-san does look like he had some part in Bakura's arm, but that's just a feeling. And I know that he was Dueling Kujaku-san when she fell into this coma.

The thing is, there was no reason for her to fall into a coma in the first place. There is no sign of drugs in her system, and I doubt that it's blood loss. There is no wound on her, save for a few that look like burns, and I have treated accordingly. They weren't there before the Duel... What is going on here?

Later:

Finally, a Duel that didn't end in anyone being hurt. This is fantastic. I always prefer that people don't get hurt in the first place, than have to treat them after the fact, even though it is how I make my living. Thank Kami-sama that this time there wasn't any.

Kaiba-sama really should get some rest. Master Mokuba told me that his older brother has not been sleeping well recently. I can only wonder what can be keeping him up. A light is still on in his quarters, and I considered going in there to tell him to get some rest, but decided against it. Much as I wish to ensure the good health of everyone, I value my life.

A great big thank you to everybody who reviewed this piece. I felt so loved when I looked in my inbox and found, not one, not two, but a whole six reviews. You've all made my day, and probably even my week. So to all who reviewed, and to all who have read, I wish good luck.

May the Force be with you!

JK
