ABBIE: (backing away from reveiwers) Now come on, let's not be too hasty... Meg, a little help please!

MEG: (backing away) yeah right!

EEVEE: you should've updated...

ABBIE: Well, anyway, seeing as I can't answer your reveiws here, I'll go answer them the proper way... unless your annonymous... then I just wont...

MEG: I don't think people who own Beyblade have to do disclaimers, so if we're doing one then do you really think we own it!

ABBIE: (behind Eevee) enjoy the crap chappie!

Both Down And Out

The hospital waiting room was crowded beyond belief and surprisingly noisy for a hospital. No one noticed a young blonde walking past certain rooms, hoping to catch a glimpse of either of his friends, well one of his friends and someone he wanted to murder. The entrance doors flew open as a brunette CEO stalked in, his trench coat billowing threateningly behind him.

"Joey, there you are, I've been looking all over for you!"

The blonde turned round just in time to be dragged over to the waiting area by a rather pissed brunette.

"Watch it!"

"Shut up and listen for a minute!" Seto, now even more pissed off then he had been earlier, really needed to explain a few things before his pup murdered the pharaoh. "Yami's in theatre, apparently he had taken large amounts of heroin mixed with beer. He's in a coma."

Joey's face paled to resemble that of a ghost. "What! That ain't possible! He's the god dammed pharaoh of Egypt! When I get my hands on him I swear I'm gonna-"

Seto held up a hand to stop the enraged puppy from hyperventilating in anger. "There's no need. The doctors pumped his stomach the best they could but it wasn't enough. He's dying, and the only person who can save him is Yugi."

"Yugi can't help either! He's on life support in ICU!"

"What?"

"Yeah, the doc said he's anorexic and bulimic and he's got a punctured lung from broken ribs. How the hell did all this happen?" Seto held his puppy close. The blonde was confused and distraught, never a good combination.

"I don't get it, finally there's no one trying to take over da world, things should be getting better!" Tears fell down Joey's face, his tough act forgotten. Seto kept control over his emotions carefully, making sure that he was strong for his pup. He gently led the distraught blonde to a seat and reminded him to breathe.

Seto looked up at the large clock above the reception desk. It was quarter past four, three hours since he had cancelled his meeting. Knowing that his timing was crappy, and not particularly caring he lifted the blonde's chin up trying to meet his eyes.

"Joey, Joey listen to me, love." His tone was gentle and kind, something that even his brother didn't hear often. A pair of honey eyes raised to meet icy blue, both rimmed red. "Joey, who did you leave Mokuba with?"

For a minute the blonde looked confused, then, as if only just understanding what Seto had said his eyes lit up. "I l-left him with Roland back at the mansion"

He sighed in relief and pulled his puppy closer, today was turning out to be a strange day, strange and not in a good way.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Yugi sighed, he had been sitting in the dark for what seemed like hours, and was incredibly bored. At first the complete blackness had seemed peaceful but now it was just plain boring, no noise, nothing to see, even no pain, which was strange, he was always in pain so why not now?

At first he had been curious as to how he had got there, or why he was there, but at this point he really just wanted to leave.

The last thing he remembered was the school talent show. He had sung the song he had written at the start of his depression, back when he had first realized that Yami wasn't his guardian anymore. He had known that singing it would probably send him into a fit of tears, but he had hoped he would manage to deliver his message first. Well, that had been a great plan.

After he had run out Joey had came out and tried to make him feel better. Great job Joey!

Yugi sighed and rocked back and forth slowly.

"I know, I could play a game!" He paused for a moment in thought. "I spy with my chibi eye something beginning with B! Wow Yugi, is it black?" The petite light stopped being sarcastic to himself as he realized two things.

One, talking to yourself made you crazy, Mari and Bakura were crazy. He did not want to be like them.

Two, enough people picked on him without him doing it to himself.

Yugi shut his chibi eyes and sighed again. 'Hey, I wonder if I could count up to a billion' he thought, deciding insanity was better then boredom.

"One…two…three…four…five…six…"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Yami blinked and in the darkness found nothing. His head ached and he stood up, swaying slightly but quickly regaining his balance. It was pitch black, there was no sound, light or anything anywhere.

The ex-pharaoh tried to think back to how he had gotten there.

He had been at home, no wait, he hadn't. He had been at school… hadn't he? Oh, everything was so confusing!

Why was he here, better yet, where was here!

Yami sat back down hard. After moaning about his sore ass he sat and began pondering things. Things such as why the dark magician girl and the dark magician weren't a couple…

ABBIE: I know that it's not great but I wanted to update so, I got this out.
