Chapter 16

Icky Sickie

After having a small snack Yami and the gang headed home, as did Joey and his little sister.

2 days later...at night...

Yugi turned in his bed. Cold sweat trailing down his forehead. He woke with a startle and looked around his room. Feeling dizzy he slowly got up and made his way to the door. Opening it he made his way to Yami's bed room. His small hand grasped Yami's door handle and he twisted it, opening the door.

"Yami?" Yugi whispered. No one was in the room. Yugi looked confused and walked slightly into the room. His vision was spinning and his stomach was turning. Yugi collapsed to his knees and started to cry. He didn't think he would have enough energy to make it to Alas's room. He didn't feel good. "Alas?" Yugi sobbed harder and he sat down. Leaning over he vomited his dinner he had no to long ago. He felt cold but his face was burning. He grabbed the side of Yami's bed and tried to stand. He stood on shaky knees. He walked slightly and made it to Yami's dresser. Stumbling he made a mad reach for something to help him regain his balance. His small hand grabbed a cloth that was on Yami's dresser. Items on the dresser fell to the floor with the stumbling boy. Yugi lay there unconscious.

The crashing awoke Alas in her room. She grabbed her gun and slowly got up. Opening her door she decided to check on Yugi first. Alas gasped when she saw he wasn't there. Worried she walked to Yami's room where she thought the crash had come from. She noticed that Yami's cell phone and pager were not on the hall way table. 'He must have got a call.' She though while proceeding to his room. Opening his door she slowly peaked her head inside. Alas gasped when she saw Yugi out cold on the ground.

"Yugi!" She put her gun away and ran over to him. He was burning up. She quickly picked him up and carried him to her room. Pulling back her covers she laid the sweaty boy on her bed. She ran out to get a wet rag then ran back into the room. Yugi was shivering and now soaked with sweat. Placing it over Yugi's small forehead she reached over and called Ryou.

"Hello?" A groggy voice came over the phone.

"Ryou?" Alas asked in a panic.

"Yes. Who is this?"

"It's Alas. Please I need you to come over ASAP. Yugi's sick and I don't know what to do. You had a little training maybe you could come and look if it's not too much trouble?"

"I'll be right over and don't worry it's no trouble at all." Ryou and Alas hung up. Ryou grabbed his coat and shoes and ran over. Alas was waiting at the door for him.

"Thank God! Ryou he's in my room!" Ryou nodded and proceeded to her room. When he got inside he gasped. Yugi's lips were slightly blue and you could hear him wheezing. He ran over and looked at the boy. Yugi started to cough trying in vain to clear his lungs. Ryou lifted Yugi and placed his jacket around the boy. Carrying him downstairs he called to Alas.

"We got to get him to a hospital! I think he has symptoms of pneumonia." Ryou shouted. Alas, who was on the phone, nodded.

"Alas! What's going on?"

"Yugi is sick. We're taking him to the hospital."

"What! Ok! I'll be there!" Yami hung up the phone.

Alas got into the car with Ryou in the passengers seat and Yugi in his lap. They raced to the hospital. Upon reaching the hospital Ryou raced Yugi inside. Ryou did most of the papers to sign Yugi in.

While Alas and Ryou waited in the waiting room Yami was racing to get to the hospital. Once Yami reached the hospital he ran inside and when he saw Alas and Ryou he ran over to them.

"What's going on?" He asked out of breath.

"It's Yugi. He's sick." Yami looked at Ryou as he placed a hand on Alas's shoulder.

"I think he might have gotten some sort of bacteria from the water at the park. He was showing signs of pneumonia." Yami nodded as he sat down.

"He'll be fine. You just wait and see." Alas nodded smiling.

"Who is here for the boy Yugi?" The gang stood up and the doctor walked over. "We think he has a mild case of pneumonia but only a blood test or x-ray will tell. The x-ray will be the quickest way. He seems to be slowly declining meaning it's more advanced than it looks or it's a deadly type of bacteria. I would do an x-ray but it's up to you."

"An x-ray will be fine." Yami said. The doctor smiled and nodded.

"I think he might like it if you were there. He's awake and is very edgy." Yami nodded. Alas and Ryou nodded to tell him to go ahead and go. Yami followed the doctor to Yugi's room. Yugi looked worn out and tired. Coughs would rack his body making him more tired. Yugi smiled when he saw Yami enter the room. That's when Yami also noticed Yugi's small face was stained with tears.

"Oh Yugi." Yami whispered walking over to him. "Are you feeling bad?" Yugi nodded more tears started to fall. "Shh...you know what? This nice man is going to take a picture of your chest so they can help you. Is that ok?" Yugi sniffled and nodded.

"Ok little guy lets get you prepped." Yugi looked worried at Yami.

"It's ok I'll be right here." Yugi nodded slightly. After the x-ray Yugi was placed into a room and waiting with the gang on any news. Yugi kept heaving, sometimes vomiting, but mostly he didn't have anything else in his stomach.

"Ok good news. This bacteria is very treatable and we should be able to see improvement within a day or two...but since he can't see to keep anything down we will have to have him stay here so we can administer it through an I.V." The doctor said. The gang nodded and watched as the doctor stuck Yugi with the I.V. and started the medicine. "We should be able to give him some food later today to see if he can keep it down. For now get some rest. There are some extra mats in the closet. Just ask one of the nurses and they will give you one if you wish to stay here." The gang nodded and thanked the doctor.
