~Nightmares and/or dreams~
~Bakura's thoughts~
''S...stop it!'' cried Ryou, for the millionth time. Bakura was beating him. Ryou had no idea why Bakura had started beating him in the first place. What had he done to deserve this treatment? It had all started a few months ago. For some reason, unknown to Ryou, Bakura had got mad at something or other and started taking his anger out on Ryou.
''And, what if I don't want to?'' said Bakura, angrily.
''Just leave me alone! I've had it with this abuse! Just go away you psycho!'' shouted Ryou.
''That's it; I've had enough of your complaining! Die!'' shouted Bakura. He bought out a sharp knife. Ryou's eyes widened with pure fright. Bakura smirked, thrusting the dagger into Ryou's side. Ryou cried out in pain.
''I hope you die soon...'' said Bakura, walking out of the house. As soon as Ryou knew that Bakura had gone, he slowly got up, ignoring the pain. He slowly walked out of the front door.
~I need to go somewhere safe, I don't know who to turn to...~. After walking for a couple of hours; he spotted the Game Shop a few metres away.
~Yugi, he'll help me...~
Meanwhile...
''Hey, Yugi, what movie are we gonna watch?'' asked Joey. Yugi had invited some of his friends to stay over. With him were Joey, Tѐa, Tristan, Serenity, Duke and Kaiba. Seto had realised that he had been a jerk and apologised. He soon became fast friends with everyone. Tѐa had recently got into a relationship with Tristan. They had been going out for 6 months. Duke was with Serenity, he had confessed to her 4 months earlier. Kaiba was in a relationship with Joey. Everyone was surprised at first, but had accepted it. They had been in a relationship for 8 months.
''Hmm, how about...'' started Yugi, but was interrupted by a knock at the door. He went to open the door. Ryou was standing there bleeding heavily from the side. He blacked out, falling onto Yugi in the process.
''Ryou! What's wrong? Wake up!'' cried Yugi. The others, upon hearing Yugi, ran into the hallway.
''Yugi, what...'' started Tѐa. She froze, along with everyone else. Kaiba quickly took his cell phone out of his pocket and dialled for an ambulance. He then rushed over to Ryou and started to apply pressure to the wound. Yugi backed away, letting Kaiba tend to Ryou. A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived. Ryou was placed onto a stretcher, and taken to the hospital.
~In the waiting room~
Yugi was silently sobbing, whilst Joey was trying to comfort him. The others sat there with worried faces, as they watched him. After what seemed like forever, a doctor walked into the room.
''How is he?'' asked Kaiba.
''I'm sorry, but he has a less that 50% chance of living, we have done everything we could,''. This only made Yugi cry more.
''Can we see him?'' asked Duke.
''Of course, right this way,''. The doctor led them all into a room nearby. Ryou was unconscious, an oxygen mask covering his face, his side bandaged. Everyone gasped at what they saw.
Yugi fell to his knees, shaking his head in utter disbelief. Joey crouched down next to him and placed an arm around Yugi.
''Are you ok?'' asked Joey. Yugi just stared at the floor, trembling slightly. The others looked on worriedly. Yugi then fainted. Kaiba rushed over to see what had happened.
''Is he ok?'' asked Serenity.
''I think he fainted, he'll be fine,'' said Kaiba. At that point, Ryou slowly woke up.
''Ryou, are you alright?'' asked Tristan.
''W...Where am I?'' asked Ryou.
''You're in the hospital,'' said Duke.
''What happened to you?'' asked Tea.
''Bakura tried to kill me...'' said Ryou, tears forming in his eyes. Serenity gasped and covered her mouth while tears flowed down Ryou's pale face. Tѐa walked over to the hospital bed and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. After a while, the doctor came in to inform everyone that the visiting hours were over. Kaiba picked up Yugi and walked out of the room. Once in Yugi's house, Kaiba took Yugi upstairs to his room and placed him on the bed. He walked back downstairs to the living room and sat down on the sofas with the others.
''I swear, as soon as I see Bakura, I'm gonna make him pay,'' said Kaiba, angrily.
''Seto, calm down,'' said Joey.
''Sorry, but I know that something is going to go wrong sooner or later,''.
''Why?'' asked Tristan.
''I dunno, I just have a feeling that something bad is gonna come out of this,''.
Meanwhile Yugi was tossing and turning in his bed.
~ ''We need more doctors in here, hurry! We're losing him!''. Ryou was laying in the hospital bed, deathly pale. His condition had worsened, he was dying. The long beep echoed throughout the room.
''Time of death is 4:36 pm''. Yugi felt as if a million pins had just pierced his heart, it hurt. ~
Yugi woke up with a scream, tears fell down his face. Downstairs, everyone was sitting there when they heard him scream so they immediately rushed upstairs.
''Yugi, what happened?'' asked Duke.
''It was just a nightmare,'' said Yugi, trembling.
''Are you gonna be okay?'' asked Serenity. Yugi nodded.
Meanwhile Bakura was extremely annoyed.
''Where did the brat go?'' he said out loud.
~I bet he's gone to that other brat, Yugi for help, well, we'll see about that.~
Bakura started to plot his revenge.
Meanwhile Yugi had drifted off into a dreamless sleep. The others also headed to bed, tired from all the stress that came from that day.
The next morning, Yugi woke up early. He quickly got dressed and headed downstairs. No one else was up yet. He sat down on the sofa and looked down.
~I can't believe this happened to Ryou, I hope he'll be okay...~
Yugi was left, deep in thought until he heard the others coming down the stairs.
''Morning Yugi, how are you feeling?'' asked Joey.
''I'm fine,'' said Yugi. Joey sat down next to him.
''Ryou's gonna be just fine,'' said Joey.
''I hope so...'' replied Yugi.
''The hospital's visiting hours start at 10, so we can go and visit him then'' said Kaiba.
After a few hours, everyone headed towards the hospital in Kaiba's car. When they got to the room, Ryou was sitting up in the bed.
''Hey guys...'' said Ryou.
''Hey Ryou...'' said Yugi.
''Yugi, can you come here for a sec?'' asked Ryou. Yugi walked over to Ryou, who pulled him into a hug.
''I'm sorry if I worried you, I just didn't know who else to turn to...'' said Ryou, looking down.
''Oh yeah! The doctor said I could go home today, but... I don't want to go back home''.
''It's okay Ryou, you can stay at my house,'' said Yugi.
''Thanks...'' replied Ryou, getting out of the hospital bed and getting his shoes on.
When they got back to Yugi's house, everyone sat down on the sofas in the living room.
''Thanks again, Yugi... I can't tell you how grateful I am...'' said Ryou.
''It's ok, I don't want your suffering to continue any longer...'' said Yugi.
What everyone didn't know was that a certain thief was lurking outside the Game Shop...
