Freeze Frame
Part 5: Come Home Soon
Hey hey ppls ! Sorry about the LONG wait, but I've been gone a lot lately. I only have about 2 chapters left to write ! YAY ! I am soooo sorry though for taking this long. The worst part is school. I'll be gone most of the time :( Other than that I hope you enjoy this chapter. I tried to make it pleasantly understanding. If you by any chance DO feel lost. . . feel free to email me. You will find my address in my profile :D.
Disclaimer: ok. . . ALL of you know I don't own YU-GI-OH. Yes, I do own the story plot below. But none of the characters except the gangsters, aunt, step dad, and mystery character later on in the narration. Yes my friends. . . Japanese people DID create YU-GI-OH. I just LOVE those guys. I wouldn't be writing then now would I ? Enjoy
Cum on T-T-Tristan, hurry up! Yugi's not gonna last long in the c-condition he's in."
"Then you just keep running. I mean, your carrying him anyway. It's not like you gotta wait for me," said a worried Tristan. Joey was running awfully fast in the bizarre weather. No wonder he was so far behind. Tristan wasn't even sure if they were going the right way. But he figured they were, so he just went with it.
Yugi wasn't the only one in trouble. The cold was catching up to Joey too. After all, he didn't have his jacket on. His only sense of slight warmth was the boy resting in his arms. Once in a while he'd feel Yugi stir in his arms or hear him slur a word or two.Poor Yugi was trying to open his wounded eyelids. Joey looked down at the small 16 year old, moved with compassion. He didn't know why Yugi left the cottage in the first place. For a while he wasn't sure what to think. Then Joey reckoned it was the fever that caused his friends confused manner. 'Hang in there Yugi' he prayed.
Meanwhile. . . back at the cottage:
"No. . ." murmured Tea in her sleep. "You can't take him. I won't let you !" She was running in the shadows, searching for the one soul she truly loved. A wicked laugh surrounded her as she continued on.
"Muahhahahaha ! There is no hope in you finding him in time. By then it will be too late. His heart fades as we speak." (Laughs more maniacally in background).
"NOOO ! YUGI !"
She awakens.
Though chilled with fear, Tea gets up and runs to the staircase. She stops, and listens to see if there was any new auora downstairs. Sadly, she only hears Serenity and Duke. Tea darts down the steps.
"Urg" ! she groaned. Tea saw something ill-natured in the front room. Duke was lying on top of Serenity.
"Joey cut it out," she giggled in her sleep. Duke was giving her butterfly kisses by her ear.(no clue what a butterfly kiss is? Just email me then) The worst part was that. . . he was only in his boxers. But the funny part was the design on them. Tea thought for sure they would have duel monsters on them. She was just DYING to take a better look. The boxers had delicate little daisies on them. . . with little hearts. Each heart said 'Kiss me. . . I'm freshly picked' It looked so gay she had to run to the bathroom to control her laughter. After she restrained her giggles, she quietly went to get her purse.
Tea pulled out a camera from it.
She turned off the flash.
Then zoomed in on Duke and Serenity. (Mostly the boxers lol)
CLICK ! Went the camera.
After she was done getting side tracked, Tea went to the nearest view port, and sat on the windowsill.
"J-Joey ?" said a soft voice.
"Ahhhh," Joey was so used to the silence, he forgot he wasn't alone. He looked down at Yugi and realized he was trembling. It was out of fear though, not the cold. At this reaction, Joey held him closer as they moved on to the cottage.
"It's okay Yugi, I'm not mad," Joey assured him. "I just forgot you were there." The trembling lessened.Yugi's eyes were barely open. It looked like they were starting to swell.
" Could you do me a favor and close your. . . " he never was able to finish. Yugi nodded off. . . his breathing barely visible.
"Joey!"
"What is it Tristan?" he shouted.
"I think I see the cottage up ahead!"
Suddenly two figures appeared through the window. It looked like they were running. As they got closer Tea reconized them.
"Oh my gosh ! They're back !" she practically screamed. Tea climbed down from the windowsill and headed toward the door. She opened it just in time. Joey ran in. He didn't even bother saying "Hi". He just went straight up stairs and layed Yugi on the first bed he found. It was so big, you could easily fitseven more people his size.Then Tristan ran through. Tea shut the door and followed him up there, tripping up the steps. Joey was trying to wake Yugi up. It wasn't working though. So he carefully took off his shirt. Joey stood there, in awe.Yugi was bruised and bleeding heavily. Tristan turned to Tea and said:
"Look in the bathroom for some pain-killers, cotton cloth, some soap. Wet down a wash cloth in there too."
"And be quick about it!" called Joey. He was gently shaking Yugi, but it was no use. He was out cold. Tea came rushing back with everything they needed. Joey took the wet wash cloth and folded it. He layed it gently on Yugi's forehead to bring down the fever. Then Tristan and him went to work. They told Tea to wait outside.They knew how hard it was for her to see him like that. She reluctantly left.
"This isn't going to be pretty Tristan.You clean and I'll bandage."
"Ok, lets do this".After Tristan finished, Joey started wrapping Yugi's bleeding wrist with the cloth. Once he did that, he checked Yugi's other arm. He realized it was broken, so he asked Tristan to take care of it. (broken bones weren't his specialty.) When they finished, they gently wrapped him in a quilt.
"Tea! You can come in now."
"How is he?" Tea asked.
"He'll be fine, he just needs rest," they assured her.Tea walked in the room. She sat on the bed next to him.
Sorry about it being a terribly short chapter, I'm gonna add more to it as soon as I can. this WILL be a bigger chapter. I'll make sure of it.
Yami: You better put me in it soon
Stas: Don't make me share my pet with you. . .
Yami: . . . uh, second thought. . . take your time.
Stas: I thought so.
