support him, because it almost looked as if he was about to pass out.
Surprised by Joey's action, everyone turned their heads to the dissimilar couple and there was a little commotion in the class. Even the teacher was too surprised to act sensibly and just looked on in horror. But when Seto really passed out, he ordered Joey and Tristan to take him immediately to the hospital room where the school doctor would examine him.Together they dragged the limp body to the hospital room, where they placed it on one of the hard beds. The school doctor immediately rushed over and examined Seto while Joey told her what had happened. Then Joey and Tristan stood anxiously next to the bed and watched. Even if they didn't like Seto very much, they had already seen a lot with him and were now worried about him.
The diagnosis was not good. "We have to have him taken to the hospital ..." she sighed. Then she pointed to Tristan: "You go back to the class and tell the teacher. And you ..." now her finger pointed to Joey. "... You go to the secretariat and call an ambulance and tell the principal what happened. Then you go back to the classroom immediately."
Both boys immediately set off and did their chores. The atmosphere in the class was depressed. Seto wasn't particularly popular, but he was one of them and it was also an unusual and frightening picture to see the otherwise strong dragon as he was also called so helpless.But the lessons had to go on, after all, the university entrance exams were soon and there was still a lot to do before then ...

Seto was rushed to the hospital and thoroughly examined again, but not much came out of it. He had fallen into a coma. Why and why nobody could say and also not when he would wake up again.
Every day his little brother Mokuba and Joey sat by his bed and waited for a sign of life, but nothing came. Only the steady raising and lowering of his chest betrayed that he was still alive and only asleep. He was artificially ventilated and many other instruments were connected to him.
But Seto just didn't wake up, he slept and he dreamed. The doctors were at a loss, all they could do was keep him alive.

Seto was dreaming.
In his dreams he was someone else. He looked exactly as he always looked but his skin was much darker which was logical, since he was an Egyptian in his dream.But not just any Egyptian, of course not that, after all, he was Seto Kaiba, he was the second most powerful man in Egypt, he was the high priest of Pharaoh Atemu. What surprised him, however, was the fact that this pharaoh looked exactly like Yugi Muto, the little pimp who went in his class and the only one who dared to defeat him in a duel with monsters. Well that could be justified by the fact that he had unconsciously accepted Yugi as the stronger one, but what the hell was Wheeler doing in his dream? At least he was in the place he deserved. Wheeler was his slave! And just as he had a different name in his dream, namely Seth, so Joey also had a different name, his was now Jono. But the strangest thing was their relationship with each other ...
He kept getting to see small excerpts from this previous life, because he no longer doubted that it was his previous life. For years he has heard again and again that he should be the reborn high priest of an ominous pharaoh.So far he hadn't believed it, but this dream was so real ...
Sometimes he saw himself kneeling before the Pharaoh, then praying in a temple or negotiating with the ministers. But there were other scenes too, scenes of battles to protect the Pharaoh. And they were terrifying: He saw himself fighting with magic, not only that he was using the Millennium Staff whose power he had already got to know during the Battle City tournament, no, apparently he was also a magician. Because he saw himself as he simply called fire out of nowhere ... And he could let huge wings grow out of his back, wings like the white dragon with the ice-cold look, his favorite card, had. ´
But then there were quieter scenes again, and the unsettling thing about these was that they always had to do with his slave Jono, that is, with Joey. When he dreamed of Jono he felt an unexpected longing in himself. As if his soul was calling for him. He couldn't describe it.All he knew was that he wanted to go back to the time he had lived in Egypt, when he was apparently happy. When there was no power-obsessed stepfather who had taught him that feelings were a sign of weakness and that he shouldn't have them. Back to a time when he was allowed to be free, free to be who he really was.

Without noticing it, the tears ran down Seto's cheeks and slowly he opened his eyes. Confused, he looked around and saw Mokuba but also Joey who both looked at him happily.
While he was still confused in bed and tried to organize his thoughts, Mokuba stormed himself overjoyed into his arms. Seto hugged his crying brother and hugged him. And Joey furtively wiped a few tears from the corner of his eye. Both of them were glad that Seto had finally woken up.
"Seto! I was so worried about you. You were in a coma. For a whole week. Joey and I were very worried.We sat by your bed the whole time and waited for you to wake up again. And in the evening he went home with me and kept me company so that I wasn't so alone. Because you stupid doctors didn't allow us to sleep here. But they are fed up with beds. "Sobbed the younger of the two Kaiba brothers.
The still pale Joey looked surprised. "You took care of Moki? And you sat by my bed the whole time?"
Embarrassed, Joey looked to the side and nodded: "Of course I have. Mokuba is my friend and I was worried about you. That's clear when you just fall over and not even the doctors know what's wrong with you."
"Thanks." Heard of Seto. A word that he never uttered, that you didn't even know he knew.

Joey continued to visit Seto every day in the hospital and later when he was well again, preferring to keep him from work. But since his dream it was clear to Seto that it couldn't go on like this.He no longer wanted to live the way Gozaburo had taught him, he wanted to live. Live properly, with everything that went with it, that meant he wanted friends too, and Joey wasn't that bad once you knew him. And so the two who used to be the biggest fighters became best friends over time.
