"Yeah, I know." Kyle said. "But we'll get through it, one way or another."

Yusei nodded."right"

"Hey, we've gotten out of tougher situations, right?" Crow asked, throwing an arm around Yusei's shoulders.

Yusie laughed some."right much worse ... way worse...."

"Got that right," Kyle said. "We'll track down Akiza, then get back home. No matter how long it takes."

Yusei gave a nodd."right!"

Here's hoping I don't regret saying that.... Kyle thought.

Yusie smiled as they walked along. Pasueing as he poked his head in on Yukina, then on Kalin, to make sure they were okay.

"Are Ruka and Rua going to be staying here in Central?" Kyle asked Edward.

Edward shook his head. "No, they're going to be staying with Rose in Liore." He replied. "I think they've taken a liking to her, in a big-sister sort of way."

Yusei nooded and looked to Edward."will they be safe there?"

Edward nodded. "Yeah, they should be." He said with a smile. I just hope that doesn't turn out to be a lie...to be honest, I'm not entirely sure.

Yusie nodded."good'

Kyle was quiet throughout the short conversation. She placed a hand over her ground deck case. I hope....I won't need to summon you... She thought.

Yusie looked to her.'you alright?',he asked

Kyle started. "Yeah, no problems!" She said with a smile. No...I should tell them. She thought. I'll just have to keep my...secret weapon under wraps unless I absolutely have to reveal it.

Yusie gave a suspisious look, but then headed out of the hospital.

"Crap...forgot how cold it was..." Edward grumbled, pulling his coat up close. "Reminds me too much of Briggs....." and he finished in grumbling.

Yusei blinked looking around."its snowing?"

"It was earlier," Crow said, kicking some snow at the edge of the sidewalk. By now the entire ground was covered in the white fluffy stuff.

Yusei smiled some looking around."i see"

Yukina groaned, as she woke up, her eyelids still heavey."Kalin?",she mutterd , still half asleep, not remembering they were in the hospital.

Kalin groaned as he came back to conciousness. His arms felt like lead. "Where are we and what ran over my head?" He grumbled.

"And Ed doesn't like it." Crow added with a smirk.

"Oh shut up! It's not that I don't like it; it just doesn't snow here very often!" Edward retorted.

Jack laughed." ... so your ,izzerable that it actually smowed?"

Yukina blinked looking over to him then around."the hospital , i think",she sat herself up, feelinng soar."ow",she muttered rubbing her musses. Then remembered the shadow realm and quickly jumped remebering Klain being exsasted.Though jumping up was a bad idea,her legs were still asleep, and she was on the floor faster then she had sat up."owww"

"Not mizerable...just cold." Edward grumbled in reply.

---

Kalin was jerked back to reality with Yukina hitting the floor. He sat up a little too quickly, resulting in a new wave of head pain and lightheadedness. "You all right?" He asked in concern.

Yusei laughed."righhttt"

Yukina sat up rubbing the back of her head.,"yeah, im alright"

Kyle snickered. "Well, if you're not miserable now, then I can always change that for you....." She said.

Edward inched away from the American. "I'm staying well away from you."

"Good," Kalin said, swinging his legs over the edge of his bed. "Ugh...that duel was a doozy...."
