I Own You

Chapter Two


The metal springs from within the groaning bed heaved a heavy screech as Ryou rolled onto his side. Delicate hands slowly made their way to the side of his head as a soft padding to add to his pillow. Even though he knew mentally he was uncomfortable, physically the drugs had made him numb. His limbs were tingly, and his vision was still not in complete focus. However, he didn't need his eyes. He memorized his surrounding by the 3 years he had been here. Here...in this nice, quiet, blue room. No, not bold blue, or dark blue...a powdery blue. He rather liked the color. It was better than white. God, anything was better than white. His old room used to be white. He didn't like his room that much. Luckily, when he was sane, his friends never let him go home until real late. They were so good to him. Whatever happened to them?

"They left, duh." a voice whispered from within his head. Ryou sighed, the air being released from his body in a rush of warm air. His silky white hairs falling into his eyes like a blanket of serenity. Hiding him from his surroundings. Too bad there wasn't anything to hide him from his mind. "Hey, are you listening?" the dark words caressing his mind, darkly.

Click.

Ryou looked up towards the metal door. The door had a square shaped, shatter proof pane of glass for visitors or nurses to make sure he was okay. Next to it was a rectangular window big enough for him to see that he was on the corner of a hallway. Other shiny black doors alined the way on the other side of that cold plate of smooth transparent solid thing. Oh...he liked that term better than window.

Click.

Now he sat up on his squeaking bed. The white pajamas he wore were now greyish because of the absence of light. There was a light above him, and many times he had mistaken it for God. Bakura always threatened to shut off the white comfort in the air...(he liked that term better too) but he never did. If he had shifted the day into night, it would just be...dark. Not scary, just haunting, and not terrifying, just paranoia. "The bogey man is coming for you." Why doesn't he just shut himself up like he used to? Yugi isn't here, so why not just go away?

Creek.

The aluminum door slowly swung open. He jumped. Wasn't expecting that one at all. He figured the click was just a beetle or something. Had he been so caught up in his web like thoughts he didn't see the doctor pass by? "Ryou?" An elderly nurse came in. Her soft features made her so soothing to see. She had long brown hair tied back to fit her nurse's cap. She had soft off white skin with big blue eyes. Her name was Doctor West. Ms. West smiled to see him acknowledging her presence. "How are you doing this morning?"

Ryou's chocolate colored iris looked up at the woman. Deep purple circles were painted under his beautiful eyes and his silver hair seemed a tad droopy. The skinny body underneath the baggy old pajamas looked a bit sickly. He didn't like to eat that much. She closed the door before pulling out a clipboard. A pen appeared within her wrinkled digits. "A guest has come to see you, and I wanted to know if that was okay with you."

He must have brightened up because she appeared shocked. "Well, since I'll take that as a yes, let me check to see the drugs wore off safely." Instantly she had taken out a tiny flashlight. Her fingers helped Ryou widen his eyes as she examined them. He blinked, the light was really bright. She hummed a tune while she continued her exam. Studying not just his eyes, but his ears, wrists, heartbeat and blood pressure. Doctor West was very fast, and very experienced. Ryou was used to these check ups. Every time he would have a nightmare, or an incident would occur, and they would have to use sedatives, it was normal to do these. Make sure no allergic reaction or something.

He cleared his throat. "Who...who is it?" his mouth seemed dry. He could hear his voice sounding weak. Her beautiful blue eyes looked up at him, her mouth formed once more a nice grin.

"It's a miracle." he knew what she meant. No talking for around 3 years would get someone to notice your words. "His name is Seto Kaiba from Kaiba Corporations. Do you remember him?"

Ryou looked out the window from his dingy home. That name echoed through his ears, and into his mind. The voice, the being within his soul suddenly laughed. Laughed so horribly that it made him shudder.

Click

No! No, no, she left! Ryou snapped his head towards the door to see the doctor lock the door. No! What is she doing? Tell Kaiba to run! "Don't come over here." he grimace silently. Bakura, the being within, laughed again.


Chapter Two is now done. Beautiful isn't it: ) Yes, it's a bit short but I cut it in half for Chapter 3 because it didn't feel right to suddenly jump over to Kaiba. So here it is! See you next chapter.
