Promises are Forever
Jade- Hello, yet again people. I'm having too much fun with this.
Bakura- growls I never agreed to this Jade.
Marik- You know? I don't even see why I'm here. I'm not in any of the stories. Thank God!
Jade- I have plans for you Marik. And Bakura, please do this! It can't be that terrible could it?
Bakura- If the Pharaoh is in it you don't know how much torture that is alone.
Sabelina- Anyway now with the story!
Disclaimer- If I owned anything of any value do you honestly think I'd be wasting my time here? Anyway, no I do not own anything.. not even the blond nurse. The song belongs to N'sync..
Silent tears of anguish spilled down Yami's face as he sat on the hospital bed. The figure on the bed was a mess. Even the most skilled doctors weren't able to to clean up all the blood without opening another tender wound. Yami sighed as yet another nurse came in to check on the boy.
"Sir, visiting hours are over." the blond nurse stated softly as she checked all the machines by the bedside.
"Have you figured out what happened? Is he going to be alright?" Yami asked hopefully as he stood. The nurse sighed "We have no clue what happened, but he doesn't appear to have any head injuries so he should be able to tell us if he wakes up. As for his condition, he's stable as for now."
"When. When he wakes up." Yami corrected her. She gave him a soft, sincere smile, "When." she repeated confidently. Seeing the nurse so confident, gave him the courage he needed to hold back his tears for now.
The silver-haired teen was leaning against the wall outside the hospital room, waiting for Yami. "How is he?" he asked when Yami came from the room. "Like you really care." Yami sneered.
"Got me there, Pharaoh. But Ryou will want to know."
"Oh please! Don't tell me you really care about him."
Now Yami had hit Bakura's sensitive spot, perhaps his only..
Bakura snarled and pinned Yami against the wall. "Perhaps I do. You care about your hikari don't you?"
"Of course! But- but... you're... you're.. different." Yami returned in defense. Bakura smirked, "I'm different am I? Of course I am, how similar do you expect a Pharaoh and a Thief to be? So tell me Yami. Exactly how am I different?"
"You... you're a cold-hearted bastard that's how!" Yami exclaimed, tears running down his face. "Now that depends on your point of view. And you are aware that your Highness is showing signs of weakness to your most loathed enemy." he chuckled, pulling away. "Don't worry. He won't die, I'm not that lucky." he said stalking off.
Yami's whole body shook with fear and rage, and he fell to the cold, white hospital floor. The blond nurse existed the room and her blue eyes fell upon Yami. "Come on, get up. I don't know what that guy said to you, but I have some news. Even though it's after hours I'll let you back in, okay?" she said extending her hand and helping him off the floor. He nodded and followed her back into the room. The nurse released a gasp as she went to the phone and called for a doctor. Yami risked a glance towards the bed, expecting the worse.
The boy's eyes were open, just a bit but that was enough for him. Yami resisted the urge to race over and tackle the boy in joy. Instead, he walked over to the bed, kneeling beside it and took the boy's hand.
(A/N: I've been keeping you suspense long enough I shall now reveal who the boy is..)
"Oh God! Are you okay? Please. Tell me what happened." The boy's eyes fluttered lightly as he turned his head towards the other boy. "Yami? Where am I?" Perhaps getting answers wasn't going to be as easy as he hoped. He caressed the boy's unusually pale cheek "Sh, it's okay. You're in the hospital. Do you know what happened?" A slow painful shake of the head was his only answer as the boy fought to remain conscious.
A doctor rushed in, "Sir, if you could please step outside.." Yami nodded, turning back to speak to the injured boy.
"Don't worry Yami. I'll be fine." he said, smiling weakly.
"Of course you will be." Yami replied, reluctantly leaving the room.
He made his way down to the first floor and to the front desk, then out the door. "Bakura's going to pay for this." Yami growled under his breath as he started his long journey home in the downpour. Where this sudden downpour came from he didn't know, nor did he care. The fact that is was coming down on him and he was alone was what dampened his mood.
Finally, he reached home and went in, where he slipped on an envelope that had been slid under the door. He picked it up and stood up, unfolding the paper and reading it;
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along...
"A name or a return address would be nice." he muttered as he turned the paper over, looking for something that would give him a clue as to who sent it. He reread the first two lines, perhaps it was referring to the unexplained accident?
It sounded like something Tea would write, but she doesn't even know anything yet. Bakura and Ryou are the only one's who know.
"Yami? Is that you?" a voice called from the kitchen. "Yes, but I'm going right back out." he said, turning around and racing out the front door before anyone could stop him.
From the kitchen came a quiet chuckle, "He must have found the note.. too bad he didn't ask me who it was from." he said aloud to himself as he left the kitchen doorway to stir the soup.
Bakura- She decided to let you all suffer. I have taught her well, don't you think? evil laugh
Marik- Jade is moping cause nobody has reviewed for Flying Sparks yet.
Bakura- So to all our fangirls, will you do us a favor and please review?
Marik- Oh cool! You mean we have our own fans?
Sabelina- I don't have my own fans? No fair. Oh and if you haven't figured it out, she isn't going to tell us who the boy is..
Marik- Who do you think the boy is? Review now and get the ultimate prize! A kiss from me! Or Bakura. Or if you're a guy you can get a plate of cookies.
(More of the song in the next chapter..)
