Note: This fic is a continuation of 'By Sleep to End the Heartache' Please read that one first.
~Prologue~
"Why do you keep coming?" the blond boy asked, sitting on one side of the table that took up most of the room.
"You're the closest I have to friends here, really," the other boy shrugged. "It's not like anyone else is too thrilled to have to see me since I was there for it."
The blond looked down at the reminder. "No one else comes."
"Mutou-kun would, I think," the other boy said gently. He walked around the table to put a hand on his blond friend's shoulder, silvery pale hair curtaining them as he bent close. "I know you didn't mean it to happen."
"How is he?"
"Still in a coma." There was a short pause before the pale haired boy continued. "When do you get out?"
"Another week. Then we have community service for a while. I'm staying at Honda's 'cause the court doesn't want me living with my bum dad and mom doesn't want me."
"And you're coming back to school?"
"If they want me," the blond said with a shrug. "Probably happy to have me gone."
"Sensei misses you, I think," Bakura said. "He keeps looking over at our desk forlornly. I don't think he knows who to blame without you there. Something goes wrong and it's instantly 'Jounouchi!' And then he remembers you're not there."
The blond smiled. "I'll tell Honda you said hi."
"See you next week out of here," Bakura said with a nod.
[author's note: so I'm a wuss.... I couldn't kill him off when it came to continuing it. I don't know that he'll come out of the coma for this story, though.... We'll see. Next chapter changes perspective over to Kaiba Corp, where I think it will stay for the most part.]
