Chapter 4
Yugi woke up sometime later. He couldn't remember walking into the hospital, so he didn't know where was, and he couldn't ask because there was a tube in his mouth and he groaned when he realized it.
A nurse must have been in there and heard him because a woman's face appeared above him a second after he groaned. "Hello Yugi, welcome back." Yugi rolled his eyes in reply, making the woman chuckled. "I'm Dr. Kay, you wont be able to pronounce my full name, and no one really can. You're in the emergency ward of the hospital. You have a concerned grandfather and some equally concerned friends out in the waiting room, they told quite a tale about how you got hurt, something about an explosion." Yugi nodded. "Hmm, I'll have to get the full story from you when you can speak again, that tube's going to be in there a while."
(Great,) Yugi thought to himself.
"Are you up for visitors?" Dr. Kay asked. Yugi could barely move, but did his best to shakes his head no. "I didn't think so. I'll tell them you've regained consciousness but went back to sleep, which I'm guessing you're going to do. See you in a few hours." She left the room and Yugi closed his eyes.

"I wish she'd come out and tell us some more," Tea said impatiently.
"She won't come back out until Yugi wakes up," Joey said. At his words Dr. Kay walked in.
"He's conscious," she said, "but at the moment he's in no mood for visitors, so I told him to get some rest."
"Better news than what we've been hearing," Joey said. Dr. Kay nodded and said she would be back later on, and then left the room.
Tea stood up. "I'm going to find a pay phone, I have to find out where my parents are."
"Same here," Bakura said and followed her out.
***
Back in the ward, Yugi slept through odd dreams. When he finally woke again light was peeking through the closed blinds over the window. He looked around as best as his eyes could move, his head still hurt, as did the rest of his body.
A nurse came over. "Hello, your grandfather is going to be very happy to hear you're awake. Would you like to see him?" He tried to shrug, but his right shoulder was confined in a hard cast. "I'll get him anyway." She walked out of the room. About a minute later Dr. Kay walked in.
"I believe we can take you off the breathing tube today," she said, "Lets do that now before your grandfather gets here." When she got the tube out Yugi coughed, his chest hurt like a couple of few choice words, which he mumbled under his breath. "I heard that. Your grandfather should be here in a minute."
She had only been gone a few seconds when the door peeked open. "Yugi?" his grandfather said tentatively.
"Over here," Yugi muttered, he knew he was the only one in the room but felt he should say something.
"Can we come in too?" the voice sounded like Tea's.
"Yes, yes," Mr. Motuoh replied. They all walked in, Yugi felt very embarrassed but he couldn't do anything about it.
"Can you answer one question or does it hurt to much to talk?" Tea asked.
"Go on," Yugi answered.
"How in the name of God did you survive?"
"Do I have to answer that one right now?"
"You said you would."
"I don't really know myself, I can barely remember walking in here let alone how I was able to do so."
"Forget how ya got here," Joey said, "it's that you're alive that matters."
"Yeah, alive and paralyzed for the time being," Yugi replied.
"For only a short amount of time," Dr. Kay poked her head in. "I'm not interrupting anything am I?"
"And how long is that short time?" Joey asked.
Dr. Kay's face fell. "Depending on how much progress he does each time he comes to physical therapy, when he gets it, and the work he does at home, he might be fully recovered by the end of June."
"Might?" Tea asked. "But June is like six and a half months away."
"Bone takes a long time to heal, and considering which bones are broken it will take that long. He won't even be able to attempt therapy for his legs until his shoulder completely heals and the muscles are back to normal. It takes more strength than you think to move around on crutches."
"She's right," Tristan, said, "I broke my ankle once and I was on crutches for three weeks, it wasn't fun."
"This stinks," Tea, said, "the only reason this happened to Yugi was because his podium jammed. If it hadn't jammed he'd probably not even be in here."
"Well I am and I can still hear you," Yugi mumbled.
"Opps," Joey said, "sorry Yug." They stayed there a little while longer before leaving so Yugi could rest, Mr. Motuoh stayed behind because he didn't want to leave yet.
"Where are our parents?" Tristan asked.
"Don't know," Bakura answered.
"Ryou!" a voice called behind them, Bakura winced at being called by his first name. He turned around to see his little sister Kiyo running toward them.
"Kiyo what are doing here?" He asked as he stooped down and his sister ran into his arms.
"My school had to come here because the shelters were all full," Kiyo answered.
"When did you get here?"
"A few hours ago."
"Have you heard from Mom and Dad yet?" Kiyo shook her head. "Come on then, lets go find that pay phone again."
"At least I got through to my parents," Tea said as she and the others followed.
"If you got through to them where are they?" Joey asked.
"Their car got crushed so they have no way to get to me or my sisters who are at a different shelter. I should probably call their cell phones and make sure they're okay."
"Well wait in line," Tristan said as they found the phone. Bakura made his called and then let Tea go, then Joey, then Tristan.
"Now all we have to do is wait," Tea said as they sat down again. Kiyo had taken Bakura to her teacher to let her know that she was staying with her him.
"I can't believe my dad's stuck at a gas station," Tristan said, "how can you get stuck there?"
"Ask him when he gets here," Bakura and Kiyo had returned. There was a little activity center in the waiting room they were in and Kiyo went over to play.
"She so cute," Tea said as she watched the little girl. A little while later Mr. Motuoh came in.
"How's he doing'?" Joey asked.
"He's resting now," Mr. Motuoh answered. He noticed Kiyo and asked, "Who's that?"
"Bakura's little sister," Joey answered. Mr. Motuoh nodded ad they waited for Tea and Tristan's' parents to show up.

Yugi tried to sleep, but his body ached too much and he was kept awake. He noticed his that his grandfather had left his millennium puzzle on the nightstand on his left side. The chain seemed to be intentionally draped into his bed to where he didn't have to move to reach it, so he tangled his sore and stiff sprained fingers in the cool chain so he could speak with Yami.
-How are you doing? - Yami asked when Yugi contacted him.
-I feel like two semi-trucks have hit me at the same time then hit by a blowtorch. -
-You weren't burned that bad, your clothes blocked most of that blast, your vest was tough enough that it was only darkened a bit. -
-Doesn't count for all the bones that were broken, - Yugi pointed out.
-And time will heal them, - Yami reminded him.
-I wonder where the others are going to go to school now, most of the school was destroyed in the quake. -
-Well is there a local collage nearby the school? -
-Yes, but I'm sure it will be closed down for a week or two even if there wasn't any damage. -
-So what, there's still a school. - Yugi was about to reply, but then an aftershock shook the building, making him freeze with fear. -Are you all right? - Yami asked. Yugi couldn't answer; all the memories of the explosion came flooding before his eyes. His breath quickened and his heart beat faster as fear overcame his state of mind.
Dr. Kay remembered the cause of Yugi's injuries and came in to check on him and noticed the state he was in. "Shh," she said as she came over, "it's all right, that quake that caused you to come here won't happen again." She wasn't too sure about that, but it seemed right to say it. "Relax or you'll hurt yourself more."
Yugi relaxed and noticed the pain in his chest caused by the hard breathing, obviously his broken ribs weren't suited for that kind of breathing. Yugi gritted his teeth as his chest pounded, but the tightening of his muscles jarred his broken shoulder, causing him more pain. "I've never liked chain reactions," he hissed through his teeth.
"Relax then," Dr. Kay said. Yugi obeyed and the pain slowly ebbed.
"That's the first one I've felt since I got here."
"You've been out for most of them, though they were small, almost unnoticeable."
"How nice." Dr. Kay smiled and left him alone.
-Feeling better now? - Yami asked, a slight teasing note in his voice.
-Shut up, I didn't hear you try to help.
Yami didn't reply at first. -Sorry. I don't mean to change the subject, but how long is it going to take you to completely recover? -
-Dr. Kay doesn't know for sure yet, but she estimated about until the time school ends. She doesn't know when I'll be leaving the hospital either. -
-Just be happy when they do let you out, - Yami said.
-I will be. -
Author's note: There, someone reviewed me and asked me if Yugi ever spoke with Yami, well this chapter is mostly that. Isn't Bakura's sister cute? I made her up though, but it's still cute anyway. Just so you know, she five years old, I don't think I've put that in anywhere. I also made up Tea's twin sisters; yeah I like making siblings for the original characters.
