"Come on, Sy," Jaden whispered, squeezing his best friend's limp hand. "Wake up."

"Jaden, you've said that for the past hour," Chumley said. "He'll wake up when he can."

"Chumley's right," Alexis said, placing a gentle hand on Jaden's shoulder. "It'll be okay. I told you before, Miss Fontaine looked him over and says he's going to be alright."

Syrus grunted softly, his eyes shut tightly and his hand jerked.

"Sy?" Jaden turned his attention back to the blue-haired teen lying on the bed.

"Zane..." Syrus murmured, his voice sounding like a weakened croak.

Jaden's normally fully open, cheerful brown eyes narrowed into slits.

"That reminds me," the Slifer Red growled. "Me and Zane have to have a little talk."

"Jaden-" Alexis warned.

Jaden stood up and stormed from the room.

"Jaden!" Alexis hurried after him. "Jaden, stop!"

...

Zane sighed as he laid on his back, staring up at the ceiling. He knew he should be checking on Syrus's condition.

Word often traveled fast at Duel Academy and this was no exception; Syrus had been found by Jaden at the docks. Zane shook his head. He knew that Syrus knew as well as he did that the docks were a place he himself went whenever he needed to think or be alone. From time to time, he could spend hours out there at a time and no one would ever disturb him during that time. It seemed like a very cruel show of irony that Syrus himself seemed to possess the intention of being alone and having no one disturb him. If he had indeed gotten his wish, there was a very good chance that the younger Truesdale brother would have most certainly drowned.

Luckily, Jaden had been there to pull him out of the water before that could happen. But the question still hung over Zane's head like a storm cloud. Why would Syrus go there, knowing he could not swim? Why would he go there, knowing that after dark the waves grew more violent and the current itself much more powerful than during the day.

'Syrus, why would you do something so stupid?' Zane wondered.

Suddenly, the door to his room flew open.

"Zane, I can't believe you!" a voice snarled.

The dark-teal-haired Obelisk Blue student turned to see Jaden Yuki standing in front of him, his normally playful expression replaced with a livid glare.

"I knew you were cold, but I didn't think you were that cold," the younger teen growled. "But Syrus almost drowned and you didn't even come down to the infirmary to see how he was. You're his big brother, how could you be so cold and uncaring?"

"Jaden," the bluenette began.

"No!" the brown-haired fifteen-year-old snapped. "He looked up to you! And you've treated him like he means nothing since the day we got here. Not once have you talked to him unless you absolutely had to. How can you live with yourself?"

"Jaden, listen-" Zane tried again, unsure how he was managing to keep his composure.

"No, you listen," Jaden retorted. "Syrus is trying to wake up and I'm going to stay there until he does. You know, like what you should be doing. Some brother you are."

Without another word, the Elemental Hero duelist left the room, slamming the door behind him.

It was then that the third year Obelisk student decided that he should visit Syrus. After all, the boy was his little brother.
