Jaden's POV

Saturday

8:00 A.M.

The gang and I were all sitting around the infirmary. Mark and Michael were also there; both of them were sitting next to each other in close proximity to the only bed in the room. A weak, even beeping filled the room. No one spoke, because no one knew what to say. I was sitting on the couch that was against the wall at the foot of the bed. My body was slouched against the back of the couch, my right arm resting on the back of the couch. Alexis was curled into my side, her head resting on my shoulder. Her feet were curled up on the couch and her breathing was as faint and even as the beeping in the room. I reached over my left hand and rubbed under my eyes. My muscles were tense do to lack of sleep but I didn't dare let my eyes drift shut; they were focused on the bluenette and the side of the bed in front of me.

Jesse sat in a chair, slouched slightly forward. His eyes were more bloodshot than mine and the bags much darker, though we both just pulled an all-nighter. Even Mark and Michael eventually drifted off to sleep. Most of the gang was waking up now, though we weren't really focused on them.

The door to the infirmary opened up and Miss Fontaine and Chancellor Sheppard walked in. Miss Fontaine walked over to the vacant side of the bed, where the machines and monitors were, and looked at them closely. She frowned at the monitors and looked at Jesse. His eyes were focused on something else.

"Nothing's changed," Miss Fontaine said. It wasn't a question, it was a statement. Jesse nodded his head mutely. I sighed and Alexis stirred, her eyes blinking open. She shifted her head to look up at me and then back toward Jesse. A frown etched onto her face. I looked to where she was looking, knowing where it was.

Mel was lying on the bed, a breathing mask over her nose and mouth. Wires were attached to her and IVs were in her wrist. Her complexion was very pale and her breathing, labored. Jesse was clutching her unresponsive hand with both of his. Marron was lying on her chest, his paws underneath his muzzle. He was staring up at her face. The gang could still see Marron but we didn't try and figure out why.

"What can we do, Miss Fontaine?" Mark asked, shifting in his seat so he was sitting up straight. Miss Fontaine turned to look at Mark; she had a sympathetic smile on her face.

"There is nothing we can do, Mark. I can't do anything more than I have. I'm afraid that I may have to call Domino City Hospital and have them send a chopper out here so I can send Melanie to a proper hospital," Miss Fontaine explained. Mark gripped the arms of his chair.

"Is that necessary?" Mark asked. Miss Fontaine nodded.

"We simply don't have the proper equipment to handle this. Melanie has to be sent to a proper hospital," Miss Fontaine said. Marron, who obviously wasn't paying attention before, was now completely focused. He jumped to his feet and spun around to stare at Miss Fontaine with wide eyes.

Are you insane? You can't send Mel away from the island! She'll die! Marron yelled. Everyone stared at Marron in shock. Jesse's jaw tightened ever so slightly. Miss Fontaine stared down at him. She looked a little peeved.

"I'm sure your exaggerating ever so slightly," Miss Fontaine said. Marron glared at her.

I am NOT exaggerating! You humans simply don't understand! Marron snarled. Miss Fontaine crossed her arms, now completely annoyed. Quite out of character for her, but I don't think she enjoyed being yelled at by a talking dog.

"And what is it I don't understand? Melanie simply won't survive here, she needs proper care," Miss Fontaine said. Marron jumped off of Mel's stomach and was standing right on the edge of her bed, his head raised up high as if he was trying to get right into Miss Fontaine's face.

Melanie will survive much longer on the island than away from it! And your "proper" medical treatments will do nothing for her! Marron said. Miss Fontaine crouched and got right into Marron's face.

"Then tell me, dog, what can we do for Melanie?" Miss Fontaine asked her voice harsh. Marron's ears pulled back against his head, his tail pulling between his legs. He whimpered and looked down at the ground.

Nothing…we can do nothing. She's going to die, Marron whispered, his voice tortured. Jesse's hand tightened around Mel's, his jaw clenching tighter. Mark shot to his feet.

"Then we can't do nothing! Her chances have to be better in a proper hospital with proper care!" Mark insisted. Marron resumed his hostile pose, glaring at Mark.

Her chances are the exact same! Even less, actually! Once Melanie is one mile away from the island, she'll DIE! Marron explained. Mark staggered a step back, his breath hitching his throat. Miss Fontaine sighed and turned toward Mark.

"Chancellor Sheppard, as the nurse for this school and all students residing in the school, I strongly advise you to contact Domino City and have them send us a chopper for Melanie ASAP," Miss Fontaine requested. Marron snarled.

You're going to kill her faster! She can last at least a week on the island! That will give me time to think of something that will actually help her! Marron snarled. Miss Fontaine ignored him. She turned her gaze to Mark.

"As Melanie's current guardian, what do you wish to do, Mark?" Miss Fontaine asked. Mark bit his lip, hesitating. Marron looked at him hopefully. Mark's gaze shifted between Miss Fontaine and Marron. His gaze finally stopped on Miss Fontaine.

"Send her to the hospital," Mark whispered. Marron's ears immediately fell back against his head, a sign of defeat. Miss Fontaine nodded a ghost of a smile on the corners of her lips. She turned to look back at Chancellor Sheppard.

"Please make the arrangements, Chancellor Sheppard," Miss Fontaine requested. Chancellor Sheppard had a pained look on his face. He sighed and reached into his pocket to pull out his cell phone. Miss Fontaine knitted her eyebrows together. "What are you doing?" she asked. Chancellor Sheppard pressed the phone to his ear.

"I'm calling to get a second opinion. I agree with Marron," Chancellor Sheppard said. Miss Fontaine gasped but Mark didn't object. He obviously wouldn't mind a second opinion. We all waited in silence. Chancellor Sheppard moseyed over to the window and stared out it.

"Ah, I'm glad I was able to get a hold of you before you left…oh, you've already left! I'm terribly sorry. I'll come…oh, I understand…Yes, there is an urgent matter that I would like your opinion on…it involves Melanie Little, I believe you know her…oh…you don't have to…," Chancellor Sheppard said, pausing when the person he was talking to spoke up. He pulled the phone away from his ear and flipped it shut. He turned to look at us.

"What was all that about?" Chazz asked. Chancellor Sheppard sighed and placed his phone back into his coat pocket.

"The person I called is already on the island," Chancellor Sheppard said. Mark looked at him.

"Who did you call?" Mark asked. Chancellor Sheppard looked up at him.

"Mel's sensei. He's already on the island and is com…," Chancellor Sheppard began to say but stopped when the doors to the infirmary opened up. We all shot her heads to look in the direction. We all gasped.

Standing in the doorway, was none other than Yugi Mutou.
