"Any ideas what could've happened to Yukina and Kalin that got them so exhausted?" Crow asked as they walked.

Jack shook his head.no, Yukina sai something about a duel in the shadow realm , but she passed out before I could ask her anything"

"And I take it you've got about as much clue as to what the Shadow Realm is as I do." Crow said.

Jack nodded."i heard , stries when i was young, but thats all they were"

"Same here," Crow replied. "But I get the feeling that those 'stories' might be true."

Jack nodded."y-yeah",he said seeming worried.

"And if Kalin and Yukina got caught in one...." Crow said, trailing off.

Jack sighed."then there luckky to alive. There forchanet to be just exsausted"

"I'll say." Crow said. "I've heard stories of what happens when people lose a shadow game." He smirked. "There's actually a rumor that Trudge lost one once back in when he was in high school."

Jack blinked."really?"

"Heh, yep. Apparently he was one heck of a scumbag back then. Remember the old Namless Pharaoh stories when we were kids?"

Jack nodded."yeah! i have to admit i loved those"

"The rumor that's going on is Trudge got on the losing end of a shadow game with the pharaoh." Crow said. "And ended up having to switch schools because of it....well, when he got his sanity back."

Jack felt a shiver."i will never want to be in a shadow game",he muttered.Then felt worried for Kalin and Yuina, hopeing that thier sanity was still there when they woke up.

"Well, here we are." Crow said as they reached Yusei's door. He knocked.

Jack poked his head in ,and smiled seeing Yusei comeing around."hey, how ae you feeling?"

Yusei looked at him."drowsey,but other then taht, okay"

"That's good," Crow said. He saw that Winry was sitting next to the bed, putting the finishing touches on the leg. "Ready for the auto-mail?"

Yusei bit his lip."y-eah",he said nervously.

"You'll be fine." Edward said as he came into the room. "It'll hurt like hell at first, but once the nerves are attached it'll be like normal."

Yusei sighed."greattttt"

Crow looked to Winry. "How long before that leg's ready?" He asked.

Whinrey looked to him."its all set ...",she said looking to him then to Jack and the others.'can you guys hold him down"

"Yeah," Crow said. "You sure this won't be too bad?"

Edward shrugged. "Like said, connecting the nerves hurts like hell. The rest is pretty easy."

Winrey looked to them."okay, hold him down, im all set"

Jack bit his lip going over to Yusie."dont hate us for this"

Yusei sighed."ill try not to"

Edward sat down next to Yusei. "If you wanna hate anyone, hate Winry for it. She's not always the gentlest." He joked.

"Somehow, I don't find that funny." Crow said, taking up a spot on Yusei's other side.
