Sugoroku took charge. “Jou, put her on her bed, I’ll phone an ambulance.” With that the elderly gentleman left the room.
“Jou, what the hell happened?” Honda demanded as the pair followed Jou and his load into the corridor. “The last thing I remember I was falling into the lake of darkness.”
“How did we get to Bakura’s house, and how did Yugi end up like...” Anzu gestured to the exhausted and injured Yugi in Jou’s arms.
“I don’t know the full details.” Jou replied, “I don’t even know who those pricks were or what they were up to. I just know it has something to do with Oneesan’s past and freaked Yugi out badly.” He carefully set her down, “I mean she was pretty beat up the last time I saw her, even with Bakura trying to heal her, but they never actually told me what was going on.”
“So we’re in the dark until Yugi comes round. Great.” Honda deadpanned, ill amused with the situation. “Just once I’d like the full details before the next problem in the chain hits.”
“I don’t think there’s going to be another problem with these guys.” Jou offered in reassurance, laying Yugi on the bed, “Not with what happened to Yuge. Oneesan would have destroyed them.”
“She doesn’t do that anymore.” Anzu corrected him.
“Only because Yuge’s watching her.” Honda replied thoughtfully, “You all remember what she was like when she first woke up.”
“Should we be worried about someone finding bodies strewn everywhere?” Anzu asked, worriedly.
“Possibly, but there’s no way to link it to Yuge.” Jou shrugged, “Not without an eye witness and what’re they going to say? A girl played a game with the goons and they all collapsed?”
“It does sound ridiculous.” Anzu sighed, “But then we’re used to ridiculous. The police aren’t, they’ll probably think the person they’re speaking to is high.”
“Either that or Yuge has some kind of biological weapon. And they could find her off of a description, she’s pretty unique looking after all.” Honda grouched.
“Well if it comes to it Yuge’s gunna be in hospital and no one is going to believe that someone who looks as beat up as she does managed to take down a horde of bad guys.” Jou pointed out.
“Let’s hope not.” Honda agreed as Sugoroku entered the room, a frown on his face. “Ojiisan?”
“They’re on their way.” Sugoroku explained, “Domino’s under quarantine and they want to look at the heavily wounded and the sick first. Apparently there’s been a lot of deaths.”
“But there’s so many injured, why’s Yuge being bumped up the list?” Jou asked, confused, “Not that I’m complaining but...”
“Someone already reported her to Domino General and offered a large amount of money and supplies to get to her sharpish.” The man who was like a grandfather to the entire group replied, “I suspect Kaiba.”
“Wait.” Anzu looked confused, “Quarantine? The entire city?”
“I don’t know the full details, but considering what just happened, there’s bound to be fallout.” Sugoroku replied, “I think they’re trying to ensure what happened here can’t happen anywhere else.”
“They’re going to be looking for answers for a really, really long time.” Anzu winced.
“Unless a magical branch of the government suddenly pops up,” Sugoroku nodded, having serious doubts that any such thing existed if they had not shown their heads already, “Yes, yes they are.”
