General A/N: I’m so glad to hear that most (if not all) of you are stumped as to what is going on. I like my reviewers that way. ^_^ I’m still working on the sequel but its coming along slowly because I’ve been piled high with school work and beginning to register for next semester. But hopefully you guys won’t have to wait to read it after this one is done posting. But for now, lets get on with the story…
Project: Destiny
Chapter Eleven
by Ravenx
“How much longer?” Bakura growls as his bare feet carry him back and forth on the white carpet behind the sofa.
“Would you sit down and shut up. That’s tenth time you’ve asked that in the last five minutes.” Seto growls from his position in one of the large overstuffed chairs, his black jean covered legs spread out in front of him and crossed at the ankles, his fingers locked together and resting on his lean black cotton covered stomach.
“I’m with Bakura. It’s been almost four hours. What are they doing that we can’t be with our hikaris?” Marik sits next to Yami on the sofa, his pale blonde head lying on the back of the piece of furniture.
“They haven’t even come down to talk to us.” Bakura continues his back and forth walk, his arms crossed over his bare chest.
“Go up and see what is taking them so long, Pharaoh.” Dark violet eyes look over at the slumping tri-colored haired yami.
“Why me? Why don’t you go up?” Yami snaps his head over to the pale blonde.
“Because he is afraid of Jade.” Seto smirks.
“I am not!” Marik growls.
“Are too.” Bakura snickers. “I can’t believe you are afraid of that little girl.”
“Well, she didn’t hit you.” The pale blonde yami rubs his upper right arm slowly. “She hits hard.”
“She warned you to get out before she did something bad.” The brunette watches the pale blonde with deep blue eyes.
“I didn’t think she would have the guts to hit me.”
“I just wish one of them would come down and talk to us.” Yami sighs as he runs a hand through his thick hair.
“What’s taking them so long?” Bakura stops his pacing, his hands gripping the back of the sofa.
“They have a lot of test to do and since it is just the two of them I’m sure it is taking a little longer then normal.” Seto explains.
“But four hours?”
“Sit down, Thief.” Yami rolls his dark purple eyes.
“I can’t wait any longer.” The white haired yami moves toward the stairs only to be stopped at the foot by a forest green haired girl.
“Where you going?” Jade tilts her head to the side, her bright blue eyes narrowing at the boy in front of her.
“To see my hikari.”
“Just a couple more minutes and you can go up but right now you go back in here with the others and sit down.” The girl pushes the protesting yami back into the living room with the others. “Where’s the kitchen?” She looks down at Yami.
“There.” The tri-colored haired yami points toward the swinging door on the other side of the room.
“Thanks.” Jade smiles as she moves to the door.
“How much longer before we can go up and see them?” Seto calmly calls into the kitchen.
“The doc will be done in a few minutes and then he’ll come down here to discuss the results of his examinations.” The girl moves back into the living room with a tall glass of water.
“Are they alright?”
“You’ll have to wait for him to tell you. I’m just the assistant.” Jade walks behind the sofa to the stairs.
“Where are you going?” Bakura asks.
“Back up to take care of your lovers.” She calls from the stairs.
“She is annoying.”
“And you’re scared.” Yami mumbles.
“Shut up, Pharaoh.”
“Thief, I’m warning you.”
“What are you going to do to me?”
“You don’t want to know.”
“Why not sick Jade on him.” Marik chuckles under his breath.
“Marik, whose side are you on?” Bakura growls at the pale blonde.
“I’m just saying that…”
“Quite.” Seto hisses as he turns around toward the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs.
“Doctor, how are they?” Yami instantly asks as he sees Dr. Morland.
“Still unconscious but no real damage.” Dr. Morland walks around the sofa and sits in the other chair, his black slacks wrinkling slightly as he crosses his legs.
“Why haven’t they woken up yet?” Yami leans forward on the sofa.
“They blood tested positive for sedatives, probably being pumped into them the whole week they were gone.”
“Tell us everything you found.” Seto says.
“Actually, nothing but the sedatives. All the blood tests are clear for everything else. They all have slight brushing in the crook of their right arms, most likely from the needles serving them the sedatives. Joey has a small cut above his right eyebrow but that would be from the accident you told me about, Mr. Kaiba. Who ever has been taking care of them has done a good job, even though it appears they have not been awake for a while they are all still nourished.”
“How can they have been feed if you just said they haven’t woken up?” Yami asks.
“They have probably been feed by a tube down their throats, they is no way to know that until they wake up though. If that’s what happened then they will have sore throats, maybe even a hard time talking for a little but it won’t be anything serious.”
“But they are alright?” Marik asks.
“Yes.”
“Then why would someone kidnap them just to give them back a week later with sedatives in their blood?” Yami sighs as he rubs his chin, his dark purple eyes staring at the coffee table in front of them.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Ryou moans low as he rolls onto his side under the thick sheets of his bed, he inches closer to the small body heat he finds on the other side, his head burying in thick hair. The form next to him mumbles something quietly as it shifts closer to the white haired boy whose legs wrap around the others only to be pushed away. Ryou’s eyes shoot open as he falls off his side of the bed, his small hands grabbing at the sheets as he lets out a hoarse scream.
As his bare bottom hits the lush carpet, he quickly yanks down the sheet and wraps it around his body as a young girl comes running into the room.
“Oh, honey, are you alright?” Jade kneels next to the wide-eyed white haired hikari.
“What happened? Who are you?” Ryou’s voice comes out slightly scratchy.
“Don’t worry, honey. I’m Jade. I’m Dr. Morland’s assistant.” Jade’s pale hand brushes back a strand of white hair that has fallen into the boy’s eyes.
“What happened?” A voice calls from the doorway.
“Who screamed?” Another asks.
“Just the little white haired one waking up.” Jade smiles over her shoulder at the tall tri-colored haired boy and the pale blonde.
“Where’s Kura?” Ryou’s bottom lips starts to quiver.
“I’m right here.” Bakura pushes the green haired girl out of the way as he wraps his arms around his smaller hikari.
“How did he get on the floor?” Yami asks as he moves into the room.
“His feet were cold.” A hoarse voice answers from the other side of the bed.
“Malik? Fox, are you alright?” Marik runs around the foot of the bed, stepping over the spot on the floor where Jade sits with crossed arms over her chest.
“I’m a little tired and stiff.”
“Well, my butt hurts.” Ryou pouts from Bakura’s arms.
“Shh, its okay, my love.” The white haired yami whispers into his hikari’s ear.
“Let me take a look at them.” Dr. Morland comes into the room followed by Seto. “Can you please put him back to in the bed, Bakura?”
Bakura lifts his lover off the floor and slowly lowers him back to the bed, making sure the sheet still covers everything up. Ryou’s arms lock around his yami’s neck, refusing to let Bakura get back up.
“Don’t leave me, Kura.” Ryou whispers.
“I’m not planning on it.”
Dr. Morland pulls out a small black flashlight from his pants pocket, his large hand gently moves Ryou’s chin in his direction, the light moving back and forth in front of light brown eyes. The light turns off as the doctor moves his hand from Ryou’s chin to one of his wrist wrapped around Bakura’s neck, his fingers finding his pulse point as he looks down at his watch. After a small nod he moves around the bed to Malik who is now resting against Marik broad chest.
“What happened?” A whisper comes from the doorway behind Yami and Seto causing the two to jump around.
“Joey!”
“Koinu!” Seto quickly moves to the weak boy’s side, an arm wrapping around the sandy blonde’s waist. “What are you doing out of bed?”
“I heard Ryou scream and wondered what happened. How did we get here?” Honey eyes look up at the slightly taller brunette.
“Long story.” Seto sighs. “Come on, let’s get you back to bed.” The brunette takes one of Joey’s arms and places it around his shoulders, the two move across the hall and into the other guest room.
“Is Yugi awake yet?” Yami follows closely behind the two, his head bobbing up and down over Seto’s shoulder as he tries to see the bed.
“Yami.” Yugi’s soft voice floats across the room to the door causing Yami to quickly move past his slow moving friends to the bed.
“My love, are you alright? Do you feel sick? Anything hurting? Do I need to get the doctor in here?”
“Yami, calm down.” Yugi’s hoarse voice whispers with a small giggle. “I’m fine just really weak feeling.”
“I was so worried, chibi ichi.” Yami’s breathe ghost over the smaller boy’s ear as he wraps his arms around the little form.
“How long were we out?” Joey asks quietly as Seto helps him back into bed.
“It’s been a week since you’ve been gone.” The brunette says.
“A week?” Yugi gasps.
“Since we’ve been gone? Where did we go?” The sandy blonde slowly lies back down on the light blue pillows.
“We’ll explain later when all of you are together, okay?” Yami moves back slightly to smile down into Yugi’s large light purple eyes.
“Are the other’s okay?”
“Yeah, the doctor is just checking them over.”
“I’m done with them.” Dr. Morland enters the bedroom with his stethoscope hanging around his neck. “Hello, boys, I’m Dr. Morland.” He moves over to Joey’s side, waiting a moment for Seto to move off the side of the bed so he can have better access to Joey.
“Hey guys.” Jade comes into the room with a pad and pen in her hands, her bright blue eyes looking back and forth from the two smaller boys. “Malik and Ryou are hungry so I’m going to go get them something, you two want anything?”
“From where?” Joey perks up at the mention of food, ignoring Seto rolling his ice blue eyes.
“Whatever is open at six in the morning. Doesn’t matter. You boys are sick so I’ll go to where you want.” Jade smiles.
“Who are you?” Yugi quietly asks.
“Jade, doctor’s assistant.” She reaches up to brush a strand of loose forest green hair behind her ear.
“Can I have a couple Egg McMuffins?” Joey’s honey eyes look pleadingly to the girl at the foot of the bed as the doctor presses the metal part of the stethoscope to his chest. “Ahh! Cold!”
“Sorry, Joey.” Dr. Morland smiles apologetically at the sandy haired boy.
“Sure. You want anything little guy?” Jade writes down Joey’s order.
“Sausage biscuit?”
“Just one?”
“Yes, please.”
“Can I have a couple hash browns too?” Joey asks.
“Sure thing sweetie.” Jade smiles as he backs up a little to allow the doctor around the foot of the bed to Yugi’s side. “You guys want anything?” She looks from Seto to Yami.
“You could pick me up a sausage biscuit.” Yami shrugs.
“One for me too.” Seto says without taking his eyes off of Joey.
“Drinks?”
“Orange juice.”
“Orange juice.”
“Coffee.”
“Same as Seto.”
“Got it.” Jade writes down the orders before looking toward the doctor. “You want anything, doc?”
“No thank you, Jade.” Dr. Morland shakes his head slightly as he watches Yugi’s eyes follow his finger.
“Okay, I’ll be back in a little while.” The green haired girl turns around and leaves the room, her long braid trailing behind her.
“Well, everyone appears to be in perfect health. I’d suggest you taking it easy while eating because your throats will be a little sore for a couple a days.”
“Thank you, doctor.” Yami nods to the man as he returns to his sit beside his lover.
“Where are the others?” Yugi weakly asks.
“In Ryou’s room.”
“I want to see them.”
“There isn’t enough room for us all to fit in one bedroom.” Yami shakes his head.
“Then let’s go downstairs. I want to hear what happened.” Joey tries to sit up by himself only to get help from Seto.
“Fine. Doctor could you tell the others to meet downstairs in the living room?”
“Yes, Mr. Kaiba.”
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“Wow. You mean to tell us that you guys have been working together for a whole week?” Ryou stares wide eyed at his lover as he sits in Bakura’s lap on the large white sofa.
“That isn’t the point.” Bakura hisses.
“None of you remember anything?” Yami calmly asks, his arms wrapped loosely around Yugi who sits in his lap on one of the chairs.
“I remember walking down the alley with Ryou and seeing you on the ground but nothing after that.”
“Same for me.” Ryou nods.
“I remember running from Yugi and feeling someone grab me off the sidewalk and then everything went black.” Malik snuggles closer into Marik’s side as they share the other chair.
“What about you, Joey?” Yami asks.
“Uh, I remember most of what happened.” A small blush forms over the sandy blonde’s nose and cheeks.
“Which means?”
“The very last thing I remember is hearing brakes screeching and falling and then nothing.” Joey buries his head further into Seto’s shoulder.
“Falling? Falling from where?” Marik asks.
“Uh…the seat. Yeah, I feel off the seat.”
“I’m sure.” Malik giggles.
“Shut up.”
“At least you all are alright. We’ve been worried sick about you all week.” Yami hugs his smaller lover closer to him.
“I can’t believe we don’t even remember anything from the past week.” Ryou frowns.
“Dr. Morland said you were filled with sedatives, probably for the whole time you were gone.” Seto slowly moves his arm from the back of the sofa to wrap loosely around Joey’s shoulders.
“What did they want with us?” Malik asks.
“We’re not sure. But it looks like you are all in perfect health with no wounds other than the needle marks and Joey’s cut.”
“No drugs or poisons or anything?” The pale blonde mumbles into Marik’s chest.
“Nothing but sedatives. I had him run every test possible.”
“That’s good.” Yugi speaks up.
“I’m hungry, where’s that girl?” Malik pouts into his lovers black shirt.
“She’ll be back shortly.” Yami smiles.
“Probably loaded down with Joey’s order.” Seto mumbles.
“Hey! I’m hungry. I feel like I haven’t eaten in…well…a week.” Joey slaps the brunette’s chest gently before resting the hand on Seto’s lower stomach.
Suddenly a loud banging comes from the door, all eyes look through the entrance of the living room. Yami carefully gets up, sitting Yugi back down in the chair before moving to the door.
“Who is it?” He calls through the door.
A mumbling comes from the other side of the door followed by another banging, Yami takes one last look back in the living room before slowly opening the door. There on the front porch stands Jade, a white takeout bag hanging from her mouth, her arms filled with more bags and a long piece of cardboard with dips holding cups.
“Someone come in here and help me and Jade.” Yami calls into the living room as he takes the bag out of the girl’s mouth and several from her arms.
“Thanks.”
“You should have come in to get us to help you carry all this in.”
“I knew the little ones would be hungry. They did order enough to give me a hint.” Jade mumbles the last part as she hands the drinks to Seto.
“Where’s our food?” Joey’s voice asks from the sofa as the others enter.
“Right here.” Seto rolls his ice blue eyes as he places the drinks on the glass coffee table before handing them out. “Orange juice to Joey and Yugi. Yami and I got coffee. What did you guys get?”
“We all got orange juice except for Malik, he got chocolate milk.” Ryou sits up move in Bakura’s lap as he watches Yami and Jade enter with the food bags.
“I’m hungry. Gimme, gimme, gimme.” Malik bounces up and down on Marik’s lap, his light violet eyes following the bags.
“Alright, alright. Here you go, you impatient little imp.” Jade chuckles as she hands the pale blonde a Styrofoam plate.
“Syrup?” Malik licks his lips as he opens the lid of the plate to find a small stack of pancakes.
“Here.” Jade just shakes her head as she watches the pale blonde dig into his breakfast.
“Malik, what should you say?” Ryou asks.
“This…is go…good.” Malik replies between bites.
“He is hopeless. Thank you, Jade.” The white haired boy smiles at the girl as she hands him his biscuit.
“You’re welcome, sweetheart.”
“Anyone notice how patient I’m being over here with a growling stomach?” Joey asks with wide honey eyes.
“Aw, poor baby.” Jade chuckles as she gives the sandy blonde his food. “And this is for you boyfriend, so don’t eat it.”
“Boyfr…I don’t have…I don’t know…”
“It’s obvious, honey.”
“Oh.”
“Move over, koinu.” Seto moves back to the sofa with his coffee in hand.
“That’s so cute.” Jade says as she returns to handing out food.
“Thank you so much.” Yugi smiles from his place back on Yami’s lap.
“You guys don’t mind if I join you, do you?”
“Of course not.”
“Where did the doc go?” Jade sits down on the white carpet facing the sofa on the other side of the coffee table, a wrapped biscuit in her hands.
“Had to get back home to his wife.” Seto answers as he unwraps his biscuit.
“How are you little ones feeling?”
“Good.” Yugi smiles sweetly.
“I’m not a little one.” Joey pouts.
“Oh, forgive me…koinu.” Jade giggles.
“He even growls.” Malik joins the girl in her laughing.
“Stop making fun of me.” Joey lays his head on Seto’s shoulder.
“Enough.” The brunette tells the pale blonde and green haired girl.
“Jade, I hope you don’t mind me asking but you look awful young to be a doctor’s assistant.” Yami changes the subject quickly.
“I’m very smart even though I don’t act like it sometimes.”
“What?”
“I graduated high school by the time I was fourteen. After that I went to nursing school. I meet Dr. Morland at a hospital I was working at a year ago and he asked if I wanted to be his assistant part-time. Well, part-time turned into full time when I found I spent more time with him and his patients then at the hospital.”
“How old are you?” Joey asks around a mouthful of food.
“Twenty-one.”
“It was very kind of you to get up breakfast.” Ryou says.
“It was no problem.”
“How much do I owe you?” Seto ask before taking a sip of hot coffee.
“Nothing, it’s on the house since you’ve all had a rough week.”
“Thanks.” Yugi yawns.
“I’m nosy so how long have you guys been dating? Or known each other?”
“Well, Yami and I have known each other for about six years and for five of those years we have been dating.” Yugi snuggles into Yami’s chest.
“We’ve known each other for about the same time but we only started actually dating about three years ago. We had a very rough start.” Ryou blushes before leaning up to kiss Bakura on the cheek.
“Rough start?” Jade questions.
“I didn’t really like him at first but he grew on me.” The taller white haired boy shrugs, his arms wrapping around Ryou’s waist.
“How about you two?” Jade points next to her at the white chair holding the two pale blondes.
“I’ve kinda known Marik since I was five but we started dating three years ago.”
“Kinda known? That doesn’t make sense.”
“It’s complicated.” Malik grins.
“Okay. And how about Richboy and Koinu?” Jade tries to hide a giggle as he watches Joey blush.
“We set them up on a blind date right before school ended for the summer but they’ve known each other for years.” Yugi answers for the two in question.
“And they’ve hated each other from the day they meet.” Malik pipes in.
“Really? You wouldn’t think that looking at them now.” Jade smiles at the sandy blonde whose head is rested on Seto’s shoulder.
“They’ve fallen in love.” Ryou giggles.
“Would you stop talking like we aren’t here.” Seto hisses.
“Touchie.” The green haired girl rolls his bright blue eyes. “So you guys are still in school?”
“Just Malik, Ryou, Joey, Seto, and I. We’re going to be seniors this year.” Yugi smiles as he snuggles his head under Yami’s chin.
“Finally. It feels like we’ve been in that prison forever.” Malik sighs.
“Anything planned for this summer?”
“We’re going to Seto’s beach house sometime in July but other than that I don’t think we’re doing anything but hanging around here.” Joey takes a sip of his orange juice.
“I forgot about that. Can we go around the eighteenth?” Malik asks.
“Why then?” Seto leans forward to set his empty cup down.
“Cause its Ryou’s birthday. It will be nice to celebrate at the beach.”
“Yeah, that will be good. I’ll call ahead to make sure it’s cleaned and stocked full of food for us.”
“Are we still going? Even with what just happened?” Yami asks.
“Why not, Pharaoh? It will make our hikaris happy.” Marik finally speaks up.
“But what if they are still in danger?”
“Then we will keep our eyes on them at all times. I don’t think that will be a problem.” Bakura smirks as he kisses Ryou on the cheek.
“Fine but he doesn’t leave my sight.” Yami readjust his arms around his small lover.
“Uh, guys. Pharaoh? Hikaris?” Jade questions.
“It’s a long story.” All the boys say at the same time.
“Okay. I’m not going anywhere.” Jade looks over at the tall tri-colored haired yami.
“Why me?”
“You look like the one to ask.” Jade shrugs.
“Fine, but you had best get comfortable.”

by Ravenx
“How much longer?” Bakura growls as his bare feet carry him back and forth on the white carpet behind the sofa.
“Would you sit down and shut up. That’s tenth time you’ve asked that in the last five minutes.” Seto growls from his position in one of the large overstuffed chairs, his black jean covered legs spread out in front of him and crossed at the ankles, his fingers locked together and resting on his lean black cotton covered stomach.
“I’m with Bakura. It’s been almost four hours. What are they doing that we can’t be with our hikaris?” Marik sits next to Yami on the sofa, his pale blonde head lying on the back of the piece of furniture.

“To see my hikari.”
“Just a couple more minutes and you can go up but right now you go back in here with the others and sit down.” The girl pushes the protesting yami back into the living room with the others. “Where’s the kitchen?” She looks down at Yami.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Ryou moans low as he rolls onto his side under the thick sheets of his bed, he inches closer to the small body heat he finds on the other side, his head burying in thick hair. The form next to him mumbles something quietly as it shifts closer to the white haired boy whose legs wrap around the others only to be pushed away. Ryou’s eyes shoot open as he falls off his side of the bed, his small hands grabbing at the sheets as he lets out a hoarse scream.
As his bare bottom hits the lush carpet, he quickly yanks down the sheet and wraps it around his body as a young girl comes running into the room.
“Oh, honey, are you alright?” Jade kneels next to the wide-eyed white haired hikari.
“What happened? Who are you?” Ryou’s voice comes out slightly scratchy.
“Don’t worry, honey. I’m Jade. I’m Dr. Morland’s assistant.” Jade’s pale hand brushes back a strand of white hair that has fallen into the boy’s eyes.
“What happened?” A voice calls from the doorway.
“Who screamed?” Another asks.
“Just the little white haired one waking up.” Jade smiles over her shoulder at the tall tri-colored haired boy and the pale blonde.
“Where’s Kura?” Ryou’s bottom lips starts to quiver.
“I’m right here.” Bakura pushes the green haired girl out of the way as he wraps his arms around his smaller hikari.
“How did he get on the floor?” Yami asks as he moves into the room.
“His feet were cold.” A hoarse voice answers from the other side of the bed.
“Malik? Fox, are you alright?” Marik runs around the foot of the bed, stepping over the spot on the floor where Jade sits with crossed arms over her chest.
“I’m a little tired and stiff.”
“Well, my butt hurts.” Ryou pouts from Bakura’s arms.
“Shh, its okay, my love.” The white haired yami whispers into his hikari’s ear.
“Let me take a look at them.” Dr. Morland comes into the room followed by Seto. “Can you please put him back to in the bed, Bakura?”
Bakura lifts his lover off the floor and slowly lowers him back to the bed, making sure the sheet still covers everything up. Ryou’s arms lock around his yami’s neck, refusing to let Bakura get back up.
“Don’t leave me, Kura.” Ryou whispers.
“I’m not planning on it.”
Dr. Morland pulls out a small black flashlight from his pants pocket, his large hand gently moves Ryou’s chin in his direction, the light moving back and forth in front of light brown eyes. The light turns off as the doctor moves his hand from Ryou’s chin to one of his wrist wrapped around Bakura’s neck, his fingers finding his pulse point as he looks down at his watch. After a small nod he moves around the bed to Malik who is now resting against Marik broad chest.
“What happened?” A whisper comes from the doorway behind Yami and Seto causing the two to jump around.
“Joey!”
“Koinu!” Seto quickly moves to the weak boy’s side, an arm wrapping around the sandy blonde’s waist. “What are you doing out of bed?”
“I heard Ryou scream and wondered what happened. How did we get here?” Honey eyes look up at the slightly taller brunette.
“Long story.” Seto sighs. “Come on, let’s get you back to bed.” The brunette takes one of Joey’s arms and places it around his shoulders, the two move across the hall and into the other guest room.
“Is Yugi awake yet?” Yami follows closely behind the two, his head bobbing up and down over Seto’s shoulder as he tries to see the bed.
“Yami.” Yugi’s soft voice floats across the room to the door causing Yami to quickly move past his slow moving friends to the bed.
“My love, are you alright? Do you feel sick? Anything hurting? Do I need to get the doctor in here?”
“Yami, calm down.” Yugi’s hoarse voice whispers with a small giggle. “I’m fine just really weak feeling.”
“I was so worried, chibi ichi.” Yami’s breathe ghost over the smaller boy’s ear as he wraps his arms around the little form.
“How long were we out?” Joey asks quietly as Seto helps him back into bed.
“It’s been a week since you’ve been gone.” The brunette says.
“A week?” Yugi gasps.
“Since we’ve been gone? Where did we go?” The sandy blonde slowly lies back down on the light blue pillows.
“We’ll explain later when all of you are together, okay?” Yami moves back slightly to smile down into Yugi’s large light purple eyes.
“Are the other’s okay?”
“Yeah, the doctor is just checking them over.”
“I’m done with them.” Dr. Morland enters the bedroom with his stethoscope hanging around his neck. “Hello, boys, I’m Dr. Morland.” He moves over to Joey’s side, waiting a moment for Seto to move off the side of the bed so he can have better access to Joey.
“Hey guys.” Jade comes into the room with a pad and pen in her hands, her bright blue eyes looking back and forth from the two smaller boys. “Malik and Ryou are hungry so I’m going to go get them something, you two want anything?”
“From where?” Joey perks up at the mention of food, ignoring Seto rolling his ice blue eyes.
“Whatever is open at six in the morning. Doesn’t matter. You boys are sick so I’ll go to where you want.” Jade smiles.
“Who are you?” Yugi quietly asks.
“Jade, doctor’s assistant.” She reaches up to brush a strand of loose forest green hair behind her ear.
“Can I have a couple Egg McMuffins?” Joey’s honey eyes look pleadingly to the girl at the foot of the bed as the doctor presses the metal part of the stethoscope to his chest. “Ahh! Cold!”
“Sorry, Joey.” Dr. Morland smiles apologetically at the sandy haired boy.
“Sure. You want anything little guy?” Jade writes down Joey’s order.
“Sausage biscuit?”
“Just one?”
“Yes, please.”
“Can I have a couple hash browns too?” Joey asks.
“Sure thing sweetie.” Jade smiles as he backs up a little to allow the doctor around the foot of the bed to Yugi’s side. “You guys want anything?” She looks from Seto to Yami.
“You could pick me up a sausage biscuit.” Yami shrugs.
“One for me too.” Seto says without taking his eyes off of Joey.
“Drinks?”
“Orange juice.”
“Orange juice.”
“Coffee.”
“Same as Seto.”
“Got it.” Jade writes down the orders before looking toward the doctor. “You want anything, doc?”
“No thank you, Jade.” Dr. Morland shakes his head slightly as he watches Yugi’s eyes follow his finger.
“Okay, I’ll be back in a little while.” The green haired girl turns around and leaves the room, her long braid trailing behind her.
“Well, everyone appears to be in perfect health. I’d suggest you taking it easy while eating because your throats will be a little sore for a couple a days.”
“Thank you, doctor.” Yami nods to the man as he returns to his sit beside his lover.
“Where are the others?” Yugi weakly asks.
“In Ryou’s room.”
“I want to see them.”
“There isn’t enough room for us all to fit in one bedroom.” Yami shakes his head.
“Then let’s go downstairs. I want to hear what happened.” Joey tries to sit up by himself only to get help from Seto.
“Fine. Doctor could you tell the others to meet downstairs in the living room?”
“Yes, Mr. Kaiba.”
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“Wow. You mean to tell us that you guys have been working together for a whole week?” Ryou stares wide eyed at his lover as he sits in Bakura’s lap on the large white sofa.
“That isn’t the point.” Bakura hisses.
“None of you remember anything?” Yami calmly asks, his arms wrapped loosely around Yugi who sits in his lap on one of the chairs.
“I remember walking down the alley with Ryou and seeing you on the ground but nothing after that.”
“Same for me.” Ryou nods.
“I remember running from Yugi and feeling someone grab me off the sidewalk and then everything went black.” Malik snuggles closer into Marik’s side as they share the other chair.
“What about you, Joey?” Yami asks.
“Uh, I remember most of what happened.” A small blush forms over the sandy blonde’s nose and cheeks.
“Which means?”
“The very last thing I remember is hearing brakes screeching and falling and then nothing.” Joey buries his head further into Seto’s shoulder.
“Falling? Falling from where?” Marik asks.
“Uh…the seat. Yeah, I feel off the seat.”
“I’m sure.” Malik giggles.
“Shut up.”
“At least you all are alright. We’ve been worried sick about you all week.” Yami hugs his smaller lover closer to him.
“I can’t believe we don’t even remember anything from the past week.” Ryou frowns.
“Dr. Morland said you were filled with sedatives, probably for the whole time you were gone.” Seto slowly moves his arm from the back of the sofa to wrap loosely around Joey’s shoulders.
“What did they want with us?” Malik asks.
“We’re not sure. But it looks like you are all in perfect health with no wounds other than the needle marks and Joey’s cut.”
“No drugs or poisons or anything?” The pale blonde mumbles into Marik’s chest.
“Nothing but sedatives. I had him run every test possible.”
“That’s good.” Yugi speaks up.
“I’m hungry, where’s that girl?” Malik pouts into his lovers black shirt.
“She’ll be back shortly.” Yami smiles.
“Probably loaded down with Joey’s order.” Seto mumbles.
“Hey! I’m hungry. I feel like I haven’t eaten in…well…a week.” Joey slaps the brunette’s chest gently before resting the hand on Seto’s lower stomach.
Suddenly a loud banging comes from the door, all eyes look through the entrance of the living room. Yami carefully gets up, sitting Yugi back down in the chair before moving to the door.
“Who is it?” He calls through the door.
A mumbling comes from the other side of the door followed by another banging, Yami takes one last look back in the living room before slowly opening the door. There on the front porch stands Jade, a white takeout bag hanging from her mouth, her arms filled with more bags and a long piece of cardboard with dips holding cups.
“Someone come in here and help me and Jade.” Yami calls into the living room as he takes the bag out of the girl’s mouth and several from her arms.
“Thanks.”
“You should have come in to get us to help you carry all this in.”
“I knew the little ones would be hungry. They did order enough to give me a hint.” Jade mumbles the last part as she hands the drinks to Seto.
“Where’s our food?” Joey’s voice asks from the sofa as the others enter.
“Right here.” Seto rolls his ice blue eyes as he places the drinks on the glass coffee table before handing them out. “Orange juice to Joey and Yugi. Yami and I got coffee. What did you guys get?”
“We all got orange juice except for Malik, he got chocolate milk.” Ryou sits up move in Bakura’s lap as he watches Yami and Jade enter with the food bags.
“I’m hungry. Gimme, gimme, gimme.” Malik bounces up and down on Marik’s lap, his light violet eyes following the bags.
“Alright, alright. Here you go, you impatient little imp.” Jade chuckles as she hands the pale blonde a Styrofoam plate.
“Syrup?” Malik licks his lips as he opens the lid of the plate to find a small stack of pancakes.
“Here.” Jade just shakes her head as she watches the pale blonde dig into his breakfast.
“Malik, what should you say?” Ryou asks.
“This…is go…good.” Malik replies between bites.
“He is hopeless. Thank you, Jade.” The white haired boy smiles at the girl as she hands him his biscuit.
“You’re welcome, sweetheart.”
“Anyone notice how patient I’m being over here with a growling stomach?” Joey asks with wide honey eyes.
“Aw, poor baby.” Jade chuckles as she gives the sandy blonde his food. “And this is for you boyfriend, so don’t eat it.”
“Boyfr…I don’t have…I don’t know…”
“It’s obvious, honey.”
“Oh.”
“Move over, koinu.” Seto moves back to the sofa with his coffee in hand.
“That’s so cute.” Jade says as she returns to handing out food.
“Thank you so much.” Yugi smiles from his place back on Yami’s lap.
“You guys don’t mind if I join you, do you?”
“Of course not.”
“Where did the doc go?” Jade sits down on the white carpet facing the sofa on the other side of the coffee table, a wrapped biscuit in her hands.
“Had to get back home to his wife.” Seto answers as he unwraps his biscuit.
“How are you little ones feeling?”
“Good.” Yugi smiles sweetly.
“I’m not a little one.” Joey pouts.
“Oh, forgive me…koinu.” Jade giggles.
“He even growls.” Malik joins the girl in her laughing.
“Stop making fun of me.” Joey lays his head on Seto’s shoulder.
“Enough.” The brunette tells the pale blonde and green haired girl.
“Jade, I hope you don’t mind me asking but you look awful young to be a doctor’s assistant.” Yami changes the subject quickly.
“I’m very smart even though I don’t act like it sometimes.”
“What?”
“I graduated high school by the time I was fourteen. After that I went to nursing school. I meet Dr. Morland at a hospital I was working at a year ago and he asked if I wanted to be his assistant part-time. Well, part-time turned into full time when I found I spent more time with him and his patients then at the hospital.”
“How old are you?” Joey asks around a mouthful of food.
“Twenty-one.”
“It was very kind of you to get up breakfast.” Ryou says.
“It was no problem.”
“How much do I owe you?” Seto ask before taking a sip of hot coffee.
“Nothing, it’s on the house since you’ve all had a rough week.”
“Thanks.” Yugi yawns.
“I’m nosy so how long have you guys been dating? Or known each other?”
“Well, Yami and I have known each other for about six years and for five of those years we have been dating.” Yugi snuggles into Yami’s chest.
“We’ve known each other for about the same time but we only started actually dating about three years ago. We had a very rough start.” Ryou blushes before leaning up to kiss Bakura on the cheek.
“Rough start?” Jade questions.
“I didn’t really like him at first but he grew on me.” The taller white haired boy shrugs, his arms wrapping around Ryou’s waist.
“How about you two?” Jade points next to her at the white chair holding the two pale blondes.
“I’ve kinda known Marik since I was five but we started dating three years ago.”
“Kinda known? That doesn’t make sense.”
“It’s complicated.” Malik grins.
“Okay. And how about Richboy and Koinu?” Jade tries to hide a giggle as he watches Joey blush.
“We set them up on a blind date right before school ended for the summer but they’ve known each other for years.” Yugi answers for the two in question.
“And they’ve hated each other from the day they meet.” Malik pipes in.
“Really? You wouldn’t think that looking at them now.” Jade smiles at the sandy blonde whose head is rested on Seto’s shoulder.
“They’ve fallen in love.” Ryou giggles.
“Would you stop talking like we aren’t here.” Seto hisses.
“Touchie.” The green haired girl rolls his bright blue eyes. “So you guys are still in school?”
“Just Malik, Ryou, Joey, Seto, and I. We’re going to be seniors this year.” Yugi smiles as he snuggles his head under Yami’s chin.
“Finally. It feels like we’ve been in that prison forever.” Malik sighs.
“Anything planned for this summer?”
“We’re going to Seto’s beach house sometime in July but other than that I don’t think we’re doing anything but hanging around here.” Joey takes a sip of his orange juice.
“I forgot about that. Can we go around the eighteenth?” Malik asks.
“Why then?” Seto leans forward to set his empty cup down.
“Cause its Ryou’s birthday. It will be nice to celebrate at the beach.”
“Yeah, that will be good. I’ll call ahead to make sure it’s cleaned and stocked full of food for us.”
“Are we still going? Even with what just happened?” Yami asks.
“Why not, Pharaoh? It will make our hikaris happy.” Marik finally speaks up.
“But what if they are still in danger?”
“Then we will keep our eyes on them at all times. I don’t think that will be a problem.” Bakura smirks as he kisses Ryou on the cheek.
“Fine but he doesn’t leave my sight.” Yami readjust his arms around his small lover.
“Uh, guys. Pharaoh? Hikaris?” Jade questions.
“It’s a long story.” All the boys say at the same time.
“Okay. I’m not going anywhere.” Jade looks over at the tall tri-colored haired yami.
“Why me?”
“You look like the one to ask.” Jade shrugs.
“Fine, but you had best get comfortable.”
