The moment Kaiba left the room, Yuugi felt a dull headache pulse in the back of his skull.

What was that? What the hell was his reaction? Had he ever been...flushed before? Not since he'd known him, and yet his color looked almost healthy.

He thought about it as he got his papers, dizzily stumbling into the wheelchair as he waved off any concern.

"I'm just feeling a bit tired," he said. "Don't worry. I'll rest."

He thought about it as he sat in the car.

As they drove back to the manor.

Even as he stared blankly out the window at the roads that whizzed by...

How did Kaiba get that much color in his face? Did that little bit of blood he gave him in the office really help that much?

Nnngh, his neck itched.
