"What just happened?" Tea asked breaking the silence.
Mokuba shook his head, "I don't know, but I'm going to go see if Kyira's alright." Almost as soon as he finished saying that, he ran out of the room. Joey was about to say something about the duel, but was interrupted by Yu-gi who suggested they all go try and find Kaiba to see where he took Kyira. Tristan agreed and they quickly ran out of the room. Tea falling towards the back was puzzled by Kaiba's reaction, though she didn't get to dwell on the thought much when they spotted Mokuba talking to a man.
"Mokuba!" Yu-gi called out to him. Mokuba turned to Yu-gi looking rather upset. "Where's Kyira?"
Mokuba shook his head. "I'm not sure. It looks like Seto called for the doctor, but I'm not sure where they went. I think Kyira's really sick."
Tea looked extremely worried. "Oh no, poor Kyira, and she didn't even say anything about feeling sick."
"Well she did look really pale today." Yu-gi commented.
Tea nodded, "You're right, she did, but said she felt fine."
"Well I'm going to try and see what's going on. I guess you guys can just go home and I'll contact you when I find out what's going on, ok?" Mokuba asked them.
"Alright, then." Yu-gi said.
"Be sure to contact us though as soon as you find out, or else I'm going to worry myself to death." Tea added. Mokuba nodded, and the group left Kaiba Corp.
Kyira slowly opened her eyes. The room was out of focus and she felt as if a large crate had fallen on her chest. Blinking a few times, the room slowly started to come into focus, though she was now confused. Not quite sure where she was, she heard someone call to her. Slowly Kyira turned her head to the right and saw someone sitting next to her. "Kai…ba?"
"You're finally up." He said a slight harshness in his voice, with a hint of relief.
"Where…" She started when Kaiba interrupted her.
"In your room."
"Oh…" Then the realization hit her. "Oh my gosh! The duel! I'm so sorry." As she spoke, she slowly got up, trying to get out of bed.
"You shouldn't do that." Kaiba warned, as she stood up.
"I'm…fine." She struggled to say, talking a step she stumbled. Half expecting to be flat on the floor, she felt someone catch her.
"Stop being a nuisance and get in bed." Kaiba said briskly as he looked down at her. Kyira nodded and with Kaiba's help sat back down on the bed.
"Alright then." She said weakly falling back, she lay on her side. Kaiba headed over to the door and walked out. Stopping right in front of the door he thought a bit to himself. Mokuba was coming down the hall when he spotted his brother. He was going to call out to him when he opened her door again and walked back in. Kyira had fallen asleep exactly where she had fallen. Walking over to her, he pulled the sheets over her, and then walked back out heading for towards the stairs.
"How is she?"
Kaiba stopped quickly, not expecting anyone to be there. Looking behind him, he saw Mokuba. "Ishida's fine." Kaiba replied trying to sound as if he was annoyed.
"Oh, well that's good." Mokuba said sounding relieved as his brother turned back, and continued down the stairs and going into his study.
Kyira slowly made her way out of her room and towards the stairs. Why does the kitchen have to be so far away. She thought to herself sadly.
"What are you doing, Kyira?"
Kyira stopped, "Huh, oh, I was thirsty so I was going to get some…" She stopped and looked up at Kaiba. Kaiba looked at her waiting for her to finish.
"What is it? He asked annoyed.
"You…you said my name." Kyira stated slightly shocked.
"What? You must be hallucinating Ishida because I did no such thing."
"But…" Kyira looked slightly confused.
"Ishida you know very well that we're not on a first name basis. What interest would it be to me?"
Kyira brushed a hair that had fallen in front of her eyes. "I know it's just that…um…never mind. I just wanted some juice that's all. Stop trying to confuse me. I'm dizzy enough as it is."
Kaiba walked away from her as she finished her sentence. "Go back to bed, Ishida."
"But…"
"We don't need your condition to get worse, and have you stay here longer than planned."
"Oh, oh yeah, I'm leaving Saturday. I can't believe it's been almost two weeks. "Kyira stated surprised, though it ended in a fit of coughs.
"Go back to bed." Kaiba said again, the annoyance clearly ringing in his voice. "I'll have a maid bring you something to drink." He said disappearing down the hall. Sighing Kyira slowly turned around and trudged back toward her room. Note to self, never get pneumonia again. Minutes later, there was a knock on Kyira's bedroom door. "Come in." She said rather softly in between coughs. A maid walked in carrying a rather large tray. Walking over to the night table, she placed the tray down, bowed then headed for the door. "Um…excuse me. Not to be rude or anything, but…um…"
"Mr. Kaiba asked me to bring this up for you. Is there something wrong with it miss?" The maid asked sweetly.
"Oh no it's fine thank you." The maid bowed once again then stepped out of the room. Looking over at the tray, Kyira picked it up and put it on her lap. There was soup in a very elegant bowl, a glass of juice, and a nicely decorated napkin. Well this looks really nice." She commented to herself. Taking a sip of the soup, she smiled. "Hot, but it tastes good."
"Seto."
"What it is Mokuba?"
"Do you think Kyira will be well enough to leave on Saturday?" Mokuba asked.
"Well enough or not, she's leaving. Her brother said she could go back home on that day so she will leave."
Mokuba sat quietly. "But…"
"No buts Mokuba, I've been nice enough as it is. I don't need anymore annoyances, especially from one of Yu-gi's little friends."
Mokuba sighed, then got up and left. "I'll leave you to your work then Seto." Closing the door behind him, Kaiba stared at the door. Why does he like her so much?" Kaiba asked himself. An image of Kyira smiling and laughing popped in his mind. Shaking his head, he pushed the image out of his mind. "What am I doing?" Slightly confused and angry Kaiba stood up and walked out of his study. Passing by the stairs, he stopped and looked up. Kyira's bedroom door was the closest to the stairs. He stared at it for a few seconds then walked off.
