The Queen of Games: A Yugioh Fan Story

Chapter 36

Meanwhile, Yugi was trying to reach Pegasus but he wasn't picking up. 'Come on Pegasus, pick up the damn phone.'  Yugi sighed as he had then realized that the man was never going to pick up the phone. Yugi heard the horn of the taxi cab and noticed that it was raining. He asked the hospital for an umbrella, saying he forgot his own when in reality he didn't have one of his own.

"Come on Inya, let's..." Yugi couldn't finish his sentence before he looked over to his lover and realized that something was incredibly wrong.  He saw Inya hunched over in a corner, holding her hand close to her heart. Yugi ran over to Inya, his jacket flying off without a care in the world.

"H-Hey, what's wrong?" Yugi asked as he would shake her, trying to see if she would even answer.  Inya was speechless. Her children were in the hospital, wavering between life and death. There was nothing she could do. Inya, both in mind and spirit were broken.

"Inya?" Yugi started to get worried as he kissed her head. He would do anything to prove that he loved her.  If there were things that Yugi hated, it was seeing his children in pain and seeing the one he loves in pain.

"Yugi... They'll be alright, right?" Inya asked, her voice breaking. Yugi nodded as he kissed her forehead.

"Of course."

~Le Time Skip~

Inya and Yugi were finally home, without their babies. The hospital had ordered that the babies stay in the hospital. They didn't know what was wrong and needed to perform tests. Inya had sat on the couch, hugging a pillow, worry etched on her face. It was something Yugi was never used to seeing.

"Inya..." Yugi whispered worriedly as he sat next to her, wrapping his gentle arms around her. He never wanted her to see her like this. Inya had turned on the TV. Nothing was on, just boring old soap operas. She shut off the TV. She then walked to a shelf and pulled out a board game.

"Let's play this," Inya spoke. This time, she wasn't erratic or bewildered. Yugi looked at the game, unsure of what it was.

"What even is it?"

"It's called UNO. It's kind of like a matching game. When one person lays a card down, you can either throw a card with the same number or the same color. There are some cards to watch out for." Yugi tilted his head as he waited for her to explain the cards.

"The skip card. This card allows you to skip the player after your turn." Inya giggled as she had put down a red skip card. "There are only four in a deck. One for each color. Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green."

Yugi nodded as he kept the Skip card in mind. He looked confused as he saw Inya put down a card with four cards on it with a +4 on the top left and right corners. "This card is a Draw Four card. This is the worst card throughout the whole deck. It makes friendships dissolve like quicksand swallowing a fly." Inya smiled as she continued. "This card makes the other player draw four cards. The more of these you have, the more the other player draws."

Yugi grabbed the card. "So, what you're telling me is that if I have these, I can win the whole game?" Yugi asked as he grabbed the two. Inya shook her head. "No. There are two more left. BEHOLD!" Inya said dramatically as she slammed the last two cards on the table.
