Jesse's P.O.V
Miss Fontaine and Chancellor Sheppard left the infirmary, leaving us with Yugi. He was standing next to me, looking down at Mel. My hand was still clasped around hers. Her skin was ice cold, even though I've been hanging onto it for hours. The argument that Yugi, Chancellor Sheppard, Miss Fontaine, and Marron just had was still swirling around in my head. I looked up at Yugi; he looked down at me.
"If sending Mel to a hospital won't do any good and keeping her here will only prolong the inevitable, is there a way to save Mel?" I asked. Yugi smiled slightly down at me and placed his hand on my shoulder; he gave it a reassuring squeeze.
"There is only one way now," Yugi answered quietly. I looked up at him confused.
"How?" I asked. Yugi didn't answer; instead he turned his head, keeping his hand on my shoulder, and looked at Marron. Marron is sitting on Mel's chest, scratching behind his ear. Marron looked up at Yugi.
"Is there a gateway around here, Marron?" Yugi asked. Marron stopped scratching and nodded.
I sensed one the minute we were on the island, Marron answered.
"Show me," Yugi ordered, his hand slipping off of my shoulder. Marron nodded and jumped off the bed and began trotting toward the door.
Marron stopped at the door and sat down. He looked back at us, waiting. Yugi wrapped his hand around my triceps and pulled me to my feet gently. My legs started to feel like they were being pricked with a million tiny needles as the blood started rushing back. I looked at Yugi confused.
"Follow me," Yugi ordered. My gaze drifted towards Mel, hesitant. Yugi sighed and opened his mouth to no doubt tell me that Mel won't wake up in the ten minutes I'll be gone when Alexis slipped into my chair. She looked up at me and smiled.
"I'll watch Mel, Jesse. You go with Yugi," Alexis said. I smiled and nodded. Yugi walked around me and toward Marron. I staggered after him; his hand was still wrapped around my triceps and he was pulling me along after him. I turned around and began walking next to Yugi. I heard some shifted and then Jaden was walking next to me. I glanced over my shoulder to see everyone but the girls following us.
Yugi dropped his hand from my arm and pushed open the door. Marron stood up and trotted out. Yugi waved his arm out the door, urging me forward.
"After you," Yugi said. I looked at Mel once more before walking out of the infirmary, everyone else following after me.
Jaden's P.O.V
Marron ended up leading us to the boy's bathhouse. In the bathhouse he lead us to the exact spot where I disappeared during year one; the place where I battled Kaibaman. Yugi kneeled down next to the water and dipped the tips of his fingers into the water. Marron sat next to him, just staring up at him. Yugi drew his hand back and folded it over his bent knee.
"Is this the strongest one, Marron?" Yugi asked. Marron nodded.
It grows stronger as we grow closer to the equinox, Marron explained. Yugi nodded his head slowly.
"I can feel the aura coming off of the water," Yugi murmured. Syrus took a timid step closer to Yugi.
"Aura?" Syrus asked. Yugi smiled without turning his head.
"Never mind, Syrus. You can't feel the pressure," Yugi answered. I looked at Yugi.
"Pressure?" I questioned. This time, Yugi chuckled. He nodded.
"The aura pressure coming from the water," Yugi answered. I pulled my eyebrows together.
"Well, the air around her feels denser, to me at least," I said. Yugi's body tensed instantly, but only for a moment. He then slowly turned around to look at me; he looked at me closely. I began to feel a little uncomfortable under Yugi's intense gaze when Jesse spoke up.
"I'm with Jay, the air is defiantly denser...heavier," Jesse said. Yugi's gaze immediately shifted to Jesse.
Marron let a throaty chuckle at Yugi's bewildered expression. Chazz crossed his arm over his chest."Sadly, I'm with the nitwit twins; the air is a little heavier," Chazz grumbled. Yugi looked at Chazz, then at Jesse, finishing on me. Yugi closed his eyes and stood up slowly, pushing against his knees to get up. Yugi brushed some dirt off of his knees and then looked back up at us. Yugi sighed and looked down at Marron. Marron looked up at him; Marron shook his head.
I sense no other gateway strong enough. This gateway should be strong enough one week before the equinox. After that, I know for sure, Marron explained. Yugi nodded slowly; he cupped his chin with his hand in a thinking manner.
"We can't afford to wait past the one week mark. We'll have to go through when you said it should be strong enough," Yugi said. Adrian looked at them confused.
"What are you two blabbering on about?" Adrian asked irritation evident in his voice. Yugi shook his head and began speed walking toward the door, Marron was at his heels.
"There's no time; we have to get moving," Yugi called over his shoulder. We all looked at each other and then hurried after Yugi, who was already out of the bathhouse.
We walked back into the infirmary. The girls all looked up as we entered. Alexis was still sitting next to Mel, Mindy and Jasmine were sitting on the couch, and Blair was sitting in a chair with her legs pulled up. Without breaking his stride, Marron ran over and quickly hopped on Mel's chest. Jesse, Yugi, and I walked over to the vacant side of Mel's bed; the rest of the guys filled in the empty chairs. Alexis looked up at us.
"Did you guys find what you were looking for?" Alexis asked. Yugi nodded, as did Marron.
Yes, we did, Marron answered. Yugi turned and looked over his shoulder, looking out of the window. I peaked over my shoulder and nearly fall on the ground. The sun is already beginning to fall beyond the horizon. My gaze quickly shifts to the clock on the wall.
It's almost eight.
"Marron," Yugi called. Marron looked up at Yugi; Yugi looked down at him. "It will be strong enough tonight?" Yugi asked. Marron nodded.
Yes, Marron answered simply. Yugi nodded slowly. I looked at him.
"What's going on?" I asked. Yugi shook his head quickly.
"No time for discussion or arguments," Yugi answered. I resisted the sudden urge to scowl at Yugi. Yugi turned his body and looked at everyone. "Get you decks and duel disks; meet back here in ten," Yugi ordered. Everyone looked at each other confused.
Finally, everyone was looking at me. I looked back at them, then up at Yugi. His face was carefully composed. I sighed and looked back at everyone. I shrugged and headed towards the door. Everyone followed after me.
Done! I hope you guys liked the chapter! PLEASE REVIEW!
