BUZZ BUZZ BUZZZ BUZZZ BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Uh?!?!?!?!?

I roll over and hit the snooze button. 7:00. Time to get up. I sit up. There. I'm up aren't I?

I do feel less tired though. Good thing I got those extra 30 minutes of sleep.

I walk to the bathroom and shave. I don't really need it though. I brush my teeth and use the mouthwash. Hmmm. Minty fresh.

I get dressed. Put on the cuffs on my wrist...ouch!!!!

Damn that hurts. I glance at it. The marks that had been made two mornings ago. Such painful reminders of how I feel. But don't think I haven't forgotten what I have set out to do. I still have to claim my title as #1 duelist back from Yugi.

And I must also protect Mokuba. If he's in any danger.....I can only begin to imagine....what I would do that is.

Well, better get down to breakfast. I head down the stairs with the nonchalant stare. I take my seat but not before realizing something.

Mokuba isn't there.

"Matt!"

"Yes, sir."

"Where's Mokuba? Has he wakened yet?"

"Well, sir. He hasn't been out of his room since he came in last night."

I hurry and head towards Mokuba's room. I practically tear down the door. I sprint to his bedside to see him lying there, breathing heavily.

I bend down and I can fell the warmth coming from his body. I put my hand on his forehead. Seems like he's burning up.

I walk over to the intercom.

"Matt?"

"Sir?"

"Send for a doctor and a nurse..and send them to Mokuba's room FAST!"

"Yes, sir."

I turn back to him. "Don't worry Mokuba. Everything is going to be alright, but" I put my hand to his head. "I do have to go to work today. I must see how the tournament is doing. Of course, it doesn't really matter for me. I already have my six cards to qualify for a finalist. It's just a matter of time now for everyone else to get them. The sooner the better."

I turn at the sound of steps coming in the doorway.

"Sir, the house nurse is here and the house doctor."

I get up and advance towards them.

"He is to be diagnosed and taken care of every minute. Do not let him out of your sight for a second."

They both nod their heads signaling they understand.

I start out the door, but not before turning back.

"Oh, and if anything should happen to him...you will be held responsible."

I run downstairs and grab my briefcase. I call for the limo to come around and get in. Time to head to Kaiba Headquarters.

I get to the building and head to the top where my office is located. I tell my secretary no to disturb me.

I sit down and try to calm down. Please just be a little cold. Please, just let it be a goddamn cold!!!

Suddenly, the phone rings.

I pick it up, instinctively. "Kaiba here. What do you want?"

"Sir, it is me. Matt. The doctor had me call you and tell you that Mokuba just has a little cold. That's all. A couple days of rest and he should be as good as new."

I breath a sigh of relief. "Ok then." I hang up the phone.

At least it's not that serious. I open my laptop and proceed to check on the duelists. Hopefully, we're close to seeing who the rest of the finalists are.

Well, there it is. I can't wait for you all to see what happens. I'm writing as soon as the idea comes into my head and out my fingers. Just be patient. It'll be worth it. I promise. Thank you all for reviewing and for those of you that haven't reviewed...it would really be appreciated. It really helps.
