Chapter 20

"What's going on here?"

As Burning Greymon stepped through the portal with Elizabeth in arms, Yugi was seen leaning over Anna.

"So, the same thing happened to Anna?" Takuya changed back while asking the question.

"If it's hitting her head while appearing in my room, then yes," Yugi replied, not looking at Takuya. Yugi was to busy making sure that Anna was alright while speaking.

"Hey, Yugi, long time no see?" Elizabeth had cockiness in her voice, trying to stop her splitting headache.

"That's not funny, Elizabeth. Sorry, but I'm worried about Anna," Yugi apologized, seeing Elizabeth's look of disgust creep across her face for a split second out of the corner of his eye.

"We know you are, Yugi. No need to apologize about it," Takuya responded, seeing the guilt look on Yugi's face.

"Hang on, Yugi, I know what to do, somehow," Elizabeth coolly got out of Takuya's arms, her headache worsening. Even though Elizabeth felt terrible, she managed to, by using her own energy; heal Anna enough for her to wake up. Elizabeth sat down opposite of Anna. Yugi couldn't help but hug Anna lightly.

"Hey, Yugi, what's going on here?" Anna weakly asked, her head hurting as bad as Elizabeth's.

"I'm not sure; you just fell into my room and hit your head hard enough to be knocked out. Takuya and Elizabeth came in not to long ago, and Elizabeth healed you somehow," Yugi finished the explanation as quickly as possible. Anna looked at Elizabeth in shock about the last part of the explanation.

"Don't look at me, I did what came into my head first," Elizabeth briskly responded to Anna's look. Elizabeth's headache got worse and worse as she spoke. Takuya tried heating Elizabeth's head, but it did no good. Anna, like Elizabeth, healed Elizabeth to full strength not knowing what she was doing.

"Thanks, Anna, that helped," Elizabeth thanked Anna, her headache now completely gone like Anna.

"No problem, Elizabeth, that's what friends are for," Anna grinned cheerfully. 'Friends,' the one word Elizabeth hadn't heard most of her life. She hid her tears behind her hair. Anna recognized this gesture and tried looking through the chocolate colored hair.

"What's wrong, Elizabeth? Are you alright?" Anna asked a little worried about Elizabeth.

"Nothing, nothing, nothing at all, Anna," Elizabeth faked. She didn't want to lie to Anna, but Elizabeth didn't want Anna to worry about her.

"What's wrong for real?" Takuya didn't believe Elizabeth. Takuya wanted to believe her, but he had a gut feeling that something was wrong.

"W-well, very few people c-call me a friend of the-theirs," Elizabeth choked, feeling the swelling knot in her throat getting larger.

"Why's that?" Yugi asked curiously, trying to discover what was wrong and fully understand it.

"Most people I know or just meet call me a-a-a freak," Elizabeth managed to sob. Takuya looked horror-stricken at these words. Anna was shocked and Yugi stared at Elizabeth as if trying to scan Elizabeth for the answer to why people call her a freak.

"That doesn't make sense at all! Why do they call you a freak?" Anna asked, perplexed.

"I-I can't tell you guys yet, not today," Elizabeth kept them in suspense for a few minutes, then realizing that she wouldn't tell, kept to themselves and didn't ask again. Suddenly, Elizabeth heard Mr. Jones' voice calling her.

"Looks like I've got to go see you all later!" Elizabeth hid her relief and walked to the door.

"See you later!" Yugi and Anna called after Elizabeth.

"I'm coming with you," Takuya called and ran after Elizabeth. Not feeling like arguing, Elizabeth allowed Takuya to come with her. The two walked away together, not saying much to Takuya.
