AN: Chapter 4! Hospital time for Kura D:
Enjoy!

"Someone call an ambulence. QUICK!" the voice of the principal yelled. Bakura groaned, slipping in and out of consciousness over and over again.

Don't do it, Bakura. You'll only be giving him what he wants.

If you hurt me, Ryou will hate you!

Nah...I have a boyfriend.

...Boyfriend..

These words kept ringing through Bakura's mind as he slipped in and out of consciousness. Those words...had various meaning to him. Marik's warning. He should've listened to Marik, but he had to go and confront Mariku anyway, and look at where it got him. In an ambulence on the way to the hospital. It wasn't fair. Why did Mariku have to take Ryou away from him?

"Bakura! Bakura oh my god, Bakura!" a voice yelled. Speaking of Ryou...

"Ry...ou..." Bakura groaned, coming back out of his unconscious void for a little bit. "Ry...ou...don't...leave my..side..." he mangaged to gasp out before passing out again. Ryou gasped quietly, tears running down his cheeks as he watched the emergency people load Bakura into the ambulence.

"Let me in there! I want to ride with him! Please! Let me in!" he yelled, running up to ambulence. One of the people looked at him before nodding and re-opening the ambulence doors. Ryou quickly jumped in, running to Bakura's side and taking his hand. "Don't worry, Bakura. I'll stay with you. I won't leave your side. You were always there for me, so now it's my turn to be here for you..." he said softly, even though he knew Bakura probably wouldn't be able to hear him.

"Is he your brother?" one of the people inside the ambulence asked. Ryou paused and looked down at Bakura. He could see how one could mistake them for brothers or twins. He also knew that in a hospital, only relatives were really only allowed to see the patient...

"Yeah...yeah he's my...twin.." Ryou said softly, holding onto Bakura's hand like no tomorrow.

"Hm..I can tell. You two really look alike." The nurse paused and looked down at Bakura's stomach wound, taking out gauze and antibiotic cream from her bag and starting to patch it up. "He may be unconscious for a couple of days, but after that, he should be just fine. But he'll probably be in the hospital for about a week. I haven't really seen a stab wound that nasty in a long time..."

Ryou looked at the nurse and sighed in relief. "Ok...good. You hear that, Bakura? You'll be just fine. Everything will be ok...you'll see..." he said softly, gently stroking Bakura's cheek. He didn't care that Mariku would be angry at him for doing this, for riding in the ambulence with Bakura. But he didn't care. All he cared about was whether Bakura would be ok or not. That was all that mattered to him...

The hospital doors burst open, Bakura strapped to a gurny as they wheeled him to a room near the ER.

'Everything will be ok. Everything will be fine. Just take deep breaths, Ryou. Everything will be ok...' Ryou thought to himself as he followed them to the room.

When they arrived at the room, they told Ryou that he needed to wait in the waiting room while they get Bakura situated. Ryou sighed and nodded, slowly walking to the waiting room. As soon as he sat down, he heard a voice say, "Ryou! Is everything ok? Is Bakura going to be ok?" Of course it was Marik. Marik would always be one of the first to arrive.

"Yeah...they said he'll be unconsious for a couple days, but after he wakes up, he'll be fine. They're just going to keep him here for about a week." he said softly.

"Ok...that's good.." Marik said, visibly relaxing. Ryou nodded and sighed, looking at the ground. "You know Mariku is going to be pissed when he finds out that you rode to the hospital with Bakura.." Marik said softly.

Ryou nodded. "I know. But all I care about is Bakura's safety. He was always there for me, so it's my turn to be there for him. No matter what the cost." Ryou said firmly. Marik smiled and patted Ryou's shoulder.

"You're right. Who cares what Mariku thinks? Just as long as Bakura is safe."

"Yeah...just as long as he's safe..." Ryou said softly, smiling. He would be here for Bakura. He would even stay overnight, if it came down to that.

Just as long as Bakura would be ok...
