Seto got a couple of guards to carry Yami in the house while Ryo carried Mokuba. Once in the house, Seto instructed the guards to place Yami on the couch. Ryo laid Mokuba down on a loveseat next to the couch.
"What now?" Ryo asked.
"I'll go get Yugi and see what he thinks."
"I'll do it!" Maura said.
"Fine. Go downstairs in the basement on the far right side in his office. He should be there." Seto said.
"Okay." Maura said and left.
"Why Yugi? Why not the doctor?" Ryo asked.
"Since he collapsed after using magic, I felt Yugi would be the better choice." Seto said.
Ryo just nodded in understanding.

Maura ran down the stairs and into the first room she saw that looked like a doctors clinic. She continued on till she found an office.
She didn't recognize the man in there, so she continued on. She came to another office, and this one was empty. She then saw a light on in another room a couple of doors down. She ran to it and knocked.
Yugi was surprised; he wasn't expecting anyone. "Come in."
Maura came in and ran over to him. "Yugi, you have to come help!"
"Why, what's wrong, what's happened?" Yugi asked, concerned.
"Yami and Mokuba need you. There's no time!" Maura said.
"Calm down and tell me what happened and maybe I can help." Yugi said.
Maura shook her head. "I told you there's no time to explain. Just come with me and see for yourself." Maura said. She really didn't want to waste time explaining. She figured Seto would just yell at her for taking so long, and then be upset that she sat down and casually explained everything.
Yugi decided it was for the best just to go with her and find out. He decided that he'd find out when he got there.
Yugi could hardly keep up with Maura as she was dragging him by his arm. They finally ran into the room. Yugi took a moment to catch his breath, and Maura ran back over to Yami.
Yugi looked up and, seeing Yami unconscious on the couch, ran over to him. He then looked at Seto. "What happened, my king?"
Seto explained all that happened as briefly as he could.
"I see. I think it was probably just mental strain. If you don't meditate at least once a day and keep your mind focused and trained to do magic, it can cause a huge strain on your brain when performing huge spells or, in this case, mind projecting spells."
Seto glared at him. "Are you positive that's what's wrong?"
"Well, I can't swear on it. However, I've read a lot on the uses of magic and learned a lot from some of the writings Yami's shown me of his time with his teacher, so I'm fairly confident that that's what's wrong. I've never cast a spell like this before, so I can only assume it was too much for him." Yugi said. Then he started to rub the temples of Yami's head.
Yami's head lopped to the side.
Seto quickly became alarmed. "What happened? Is he all right?"
Yugi looked up and smiled. "He's fine. I simply put him in a deep sleep to let his mind rest. He should be fine by later tonight, tomorrow morning at the latest."
Seto sighed, but he didn't like it, so he didn't argue. "What about Mokuba?"
Yugi walked over and placed his hand on the boy's face. It lit up for a moment, then the glow vanished.
Mokuba stirred and started to rub his eyes.
Seto sat down next to him. "Hey, how are you feeling?"
"S-sleepy." Mokuba said, still rubbing his eyes.
"Sorry, he'll probably be sleepy the rest of the day." Yugi said.
"That won't be a problem, will it Ryo?" Seto asked.
Ryo blinked. "You mean you're still going to let Mokuba go with me?"
"I'm not going to go back on my word." Seto said. "Guards, take Yami upstairs to his room."
"I'll go with them." Maura said.
"Make sure he's comfortable. I'll send a maid up to stay with him."
"I can do it!" Maura whined.
"No. While your family is here, you should spend time with them."
Maura wanted to argue, wanted to yell and scream. But then what if Seto asked why she was protesting against her own family? How could she or how would she even explain that she feared them forcing her to return? Worst still, she feared if Seto knew this, he'd be already upstairs packing for her.
