Sorry it took so long children, but your idol bebop was busy, I was writing my own proper script for our media final. Thanks for the reviews, here chapter 4
Disclaimer: Own nothing except a PC and my brain
Ryou awoke feeling dazed, his head was pounding and he felt sick. He yawned slightly and shift his body to get into a sit up position. But he couldn't….
His arms were tied down….
Panic set in as he hastily pulled on the straps that secured him to the bed, he didn't understand why he was here….what had he done?
Bakura, he came back, oh God Ryou was so scared he could even bring himself to open his eyes to check what was in the room with him and who had done this. He body began to shake with fear as he recalled the dream, but the dream had blurred with reality and Ryou was no longer sure what had actually happened.
He vaguely remember Malik…or was it Marik, he couldn't remember. He seemed so different, uncaring and cruel, not like the guy he had meet in the canteen. Malik was defiantly nicer…. then there was Keith; Ryou did not like him at all.
If that dream was real, I would be dead, so if I have a gap in my chest…then I'll know. I-I just have to open my eyes Ryou thought but when it came to doing it, he couldn't. Ryou slowly willed himself to open his eyes and he saw…. nothing, nothing weird at all. He was fine. Ryou smiled happily wait if there nothing wrong with me…why am I tied up?
Ryou fidgets uncomfortably trying to get his arms free, they felt heavy and sluggish. He pulled his arm more forcefully this time and whimpered as he realised he had pulled a muscle in his wrist.
Ryou waited for what seemed like hours, with his arms above his head, until finally a man with a white coat came in, he was tall with glasses and black hair, but had a gentle smile on his face that made Ryou feel almost calmer. Ryou laughed to himself when he realised the man almost blended in with the wall
"Ah I see your awake Ryou, how are you feeling?" The man asked nicely but Ryou shrank away from him and lowered his head not speaking a word. A few minutes later the doctor had picked up on Ryou refusal to respond and sighed
"I was told you'd be shy, well can you nod for me if you're feeling any better?" The man asked crouching by the boy's bed. Ryou nodded dumbly at the man who smiled in response
"Good, now I'm going to take these off, I hope they didn't hurt but we had to put them on for safety precautions, you were hallucinating," The man explained and began to undo the restraints.
When Ryou was free, he backed right into the wall behind him and watched the doctor carefully. It was a hallucination, so Bakura never came…I really am safe
Ryou smiled at the doctor slightly and muttered a very quiet 'thank you' which the doctor seemed almost honoured to get and returned with a nod, before standing up and looking at his clipboard for a moment before looking at Ryou
"I'll be back to check on you later, you were hit on the head and I need to check you ok so if you feel dizzy let me know" He explained and Ryou nodded "if your hungry, seen as you skipped breakfast you can ask one of the orderlies for something to eat, if not dinner shouldn't be long," He smiled before taking his leaving. Ryou laid himself back on the bed and curled into a ball I guess not everyone is that bad.
Ryou wasn't looking forward to having to leave for dinner, now Malik scared him and Keith and God knows who else was waiting to hurt him. He whimpered and buried his head in his arms, not sure what he was going to do in this place.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Malik woke up on a hard surface, his head pounding. He sat up slowly and winced at the light that was pouring into his room. He looked around and realized he had fallen asleep on the floor, his clothes were covered in sweat and…blood. And it wasn't his.
Malik flew into alert and stood up trying to retrace his steps from last night I was going to my room when I heard a noise and…little Ryou he was begin hurt! Marik must have got free… shit this isn't good. Malik slowly walked towards the door and opened it that a good sign, no solitary confinement.
Malik walked into the hallways, looking around for any sign of damage at all, seeing none he felt better, perhaps Marik was calmer last night…but that didn't explain the blood on his sleeve.
Malik decided he was having a shower and get changed first. He walked into the bathroom. Very few people were in here, but those who were late getting up. As he scanned through the people he noticed on familiar face. Seto. Why's he up late? Seto's always on time.
"Hey Seto, never thought I'd see you in here this time of day!" Malik called out with a smirk on his face, laughing slightly. Seto however seemed less than amused and shot a glare at Malik as he approached, Malik frowned "What did I do to earn myself a 'Kaiba glare'?"
"Lets your darker self out, good job by the way," Seto said sarcastically "Spent most my night trying to calm down that pathetic little brat…he spent most the night squealing like a pig."
Malik looked down sadly I did that to Ryou…oh man he'll never trust me now.
"I didn't mean too, they were hurting him…and me," Malik explained looking at the floor "I need to do something or God know what would have happened to the kid."
Seto snort and crossed his arms before shrugging and Malik and waiting by a locker for an empty shower Well at least if Ryou would have been hurt he would have been far away from me, and I could of slept…Damn Yugi waking me up
"Where was he?" Malik asked breaking the silence that had grown between them "I mean what happened to him…did Marik do something?" Malik asked nervously, his heart beating fast
"Other than knock the brat out, no," Seto said bluntly "The kid was squealing cause he was having a nightmare or something…quite frankly I don't give a damn." Seto said grabbing a spare towel from the side and waited to getting in the shower not far from him, where the water had been turned off. "Why you had to stick him in motuo's room I'll never know."
"Yugi's room?" Malik inquired
"Yeah you dumped the brat there…or Marik did, either way he disturbed Yugi and in turn Yugi disturbed me," Seto explained
"Well…can with me, to see him I mean?" Malik asked, it would be nice to check up on Ryou and he could use some back up…though Seto wasn't the best, but he was the closest.
"Why would I want to do that," Seto snorted and walked toward the empty shower and shutting the door. Malik stood next to it and leaned against it.
"Cause if you don't then I'll leave you alone in group therapy," Malik said with a Dark smirk on his face. Group therapy was Seto worst nightmare, he had to get up infront of people he hated a talked about himself, but every time it was his go Malik would run a distraction, without him, Seto was screwed.
"….Fine but make it quick, I'm a busy man," Seto snapped as he continued to shower in silence. Malik chuckled
"Your not busy anymore, anyway meet me by my locker when you done." Malik said and parted ways to fight for his own shower.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Once Seto and Marik were done they made there way towards Ryou room, though soon into the process Malik realised he didn't now which room was Ryou's…much to Seto's annoyance.
"You truly are an idiot, I mean I though the mutt was bad but you…. your setting new standard," Seto moaned as Malik began knocking on random doors trying to find Ryou's.
"You got a better idea?" Malik asked as he knocked on another door only to have the words "Go fuck yourself," yelled at him. "Charming," Malik said walking to the next one
Seto shrugged and looked up and down the hallway, Malik was sure he was on this floor, but didn't know which room This will take all day at this rate Seto stalked toward a room and slammed his fist on the door, a man emerged with short red hair
"Wrong room," He muttered and turned away toward the next door
"Who ya' trying to find?" The man with the red hair asked, he leaned against the door frame with a hint of amusement in his face as he watched Seto and Malik knock on different doors.
"A little white hair brat by the name of Ryou, so unless you can tell us where he is I suggest you leave before I use your head to knock on the doors" Seto threatened the man who gulped and nodded.
"I think I know who your talking about, number 17 I think," The man aid before backing away into his room away from Seto's icy glare. Seto grasped Malik wrist and practically flung in at door 17 "Hurry up!" He snapped as he had wasted enough time He couldn't of waited till dinner
Malik sighed at Seto and knocked softly on the door waiting for a reply…he could hear the sound of bare feet padding against the floor and slowly the door opened and Ryou peaked his head out. The two older boys towered over Ryou and he shrank away from Seto cold look
"Hey kid, I came to see if you were ok, I'm so sorry about last night," Malik said giving Ryou a smile "So can we come in?"
Ryou hesitated, but decided it was rude to just shut the door on him so he widened it and nodded to them both to come in. Malik walked right in and Seto leaned in a corner at the far side of the room.
Ryou sat on his bed fiddling with his hands nervously, he hated when people were looking at him and he knew the two of them were staring at him. He felt and hand on his head and he jumped, only to see Malik trying to inspect the slightly bruise on his head from where Marik had hit him
"Sorry, I just wanted to make sure," Malik said backing away and Seto laughed under his breath at Malik who glared back at him.
"I-I'm sorry…I s-shouldn't o-of made you mad," Ryou stuttered looking down "I was dumb…like you said…"
Seto rolled his eyes This is going to take a while He though as his eyes travelled round the room and soon found a discarded teddy bear Just like…no forget him, he's gone and there nothing you can do Seto though angrily and crossed his arm looking away from the stuffed bear.
"You weren't really, Marik was just being nasty, that what he does…. sometimes he will come out, he's like…. my bad side," Malik reasoned trying to dumb it down for the boy. Ryou nodded sadly and looked up at Malik.
"Heard you made quite a ruckus last night, Seto hasn't stopped moaning about it," Malik joked smiling at Ryou who looked up in alert I forgot about that, I must have been screaming…but how did he know? Was he there?
"Sorry" Ryou mumbled to Seto who looked back at Ryou in vague interest
"Yeah great, Should be saying that to Yugi, he the one who had to squealing in his room" Seto mocked almost laughing. Ryou looked down with tears almost in his eyes and Malik gave Seto an unamused look
"Don't worry Yugi's not mad, he's nice so don't worry," Malik assured him "And ignore Seto, he's just grumpy," He said smiling and ruffling the boys hair, and Ryou smiled back, not minding the touch
"Course I'm grumpy, I have every right to be, now hurry up," Seto commanded "Lunch start in 10 minutes and I want to get there before everyone comes."
"Fine," Malik said rolling his eyes and he looked back at Ryou "So you want to come with us? I'm sure you must be hungry,"
Ryou sat there think it over…he didn't like leaving his room…but he was so God damn hungry. Eventually Ryou nodded and stood up.
"Oh great," Seto sneered and Ryou lowered his head a bit "Well hurry up then…or does Malik have to hold your hand" Seto teased
"Oh knock it off moody," Malik said playfully shoving Seto, who looked unamused but kept walking. Ryou lingered behind then shyly.
Ryou stared up at Seto's cold face and couldn't help but wonder He seems so cold…but sad, there must be…or he wouldn't be here
"What are you looking?" Seto said looking back at Ryou, he saw him looking and he scowled at the younger boy.
"N-Nothing," Ryou said looking at the floor as he walked toward the canteen in silence listening to Malik banter…trying his best to strike a conversation. But it wasn't going to happen
Done finally, sorry it wasn't very good but I rushed writing it in my English lit class. So my apologise for any bad grammar or crummy plot line but hey dig me I didn't do a flashback or dream sequence, making me slightly less annoying that Naruto (Don't get me wrong I love Naruto but the flashback...man there annoying) . I'm dedicating this chapter to spleen monkie (who will kill me for putting this) Thanks for the support and help. So let me know what you think, and thanks for reading!
