Zany: Okaysssssss, sorry this took like forever, but I couldnt figure out how to deal with Baku-bunny and makes him better!
Bakura: Dont call me that!
Zany: But Baku-bunny...
Bakura: *glares*
Zany: Anyways this chappie is somewhat Kaiba-centric, and you just have to deal with that! Also there might be a hint of antagoshipping, but dont question that, tell me if youd like that or any other pairings in later chapters.
Kaiba: I like Kaiba-centric, but what is antagoshipping?
Zany: Nothing! *Tackles to the ground* Enjoy!
Everyone continued to play the games in the grade 11 'carnival' but no one dared to touch the dunk tank, and eventually Mr. Dartz had his students drain it, out of worry.
Ryou would not speak, a word to anyone, and to most that wouldnt have been any different, except his best friend Marik was completely flustered at Ryou's actions. Nothing got the little goody Brit down. Of course, no one had ever seen Bakura taken away on a strecher before either, nor Akefia cry. It was just a day of firsts. Kaiba was no exception to that. He was nervous, scared even.
maybe Dartz will call off the show because of Bakura. Kaiba would repeat over and over in his head.
"Big brother?" Mokuba pulled on his brothers sleeve, the elder looked down at him, "Are you alright? You seem, jumpy."
"Im fine, Mokuba. Dont worry about me. Alright? Its my job to worry about you. Not the other way around." Kaiba stated in what would sound like anger to anyone who didnt know him, anyone who wasnt Mokuba.
"You're scared!? Arent you?!" Mokuba yanked his brothers sleeve so hard Kaiba was forced to go down on his knees lest his shirt rip.
"No! Dont be ridiculous!" Kaiba lightly punched his baby brothers arm while grinning, Maybe if I go see Bakura... No, then it'll seem like I care, and I dont. But I have to see if theres a chance... Ugh, I hate inner fights. First thought lets go, Im Seto Kaiba, I dont care what people think. He finally agreed to go see Bakura in the hospital, and maybe, just maybe miss his performance.
"Come on Mokuba, I have to go somewhere." Seto demanded rising to his feet and going to his jet black corvette in the student parking lot out front.
20 minutes of driving and 10 minutes of being directed random places in the hospital later, Seto - without Mokuba, since he refused to step into a hospital because their mother died giving birth to him - arrived in Bakura's room, Akefia passed out in a chair next to him.
Seto smiled, it reminded him of what he'd do for Mokuba. Maybe they have that too. If they have a relationship like me and Mokie, Bakura's luckier than I thought.
Bakura shifted on the bed, and growled, "Kaiba..."
"Yeah, I get it, Im not exactly the one person you'd expect. I had this idea, and as you can see, I was not going to argue it. So here I am." Kaiba explained.
Bakura was struggling to sit up, and he had numerous machines keeping his breathing steady and stable, Kaiba helped him sit, "So what's your idea?"
"I came to ask you how you stayed so calm." Kaiba was starting to feel embarrassed. He was Seto Kaiba he didnt ask for others help, he instructed them.
"What?" Bakura was confused, "When?"
"Your performance, how did you of all people manage to go first, and stay so calm? What about your reputation?"
Bakura removed the breathing mask, Kaiba attemped to stop him but Bakura swatted his hand down like a fly. Bakura smirked, "I get it, Kaiba-boy is afraid that his so hard earned reputation of stone is going to be shattered if he sings, well guess what, I heard Mokuba say you like no love to sing, so who cares? I mean, I sang from my heart, believe that or not. My song was to Ry, and Aki. Because they mean alot to me, Im going to take a swing and say yours is either about money, or Mokuba, and Im hoping the latter. I just found who I was singing about, locked eyes with them and I just knew I was fine, not to mention wearing all leather adds to bad-assery." Bakura had successfully pulled out every wire, and was standing up. Much shorter than Kaiba, "Besides, if you truely have a rep as tough as stone people will respect you that much more. Or be terrified that you'll kick their ass. Either way."
"What are you doing?" Kaiba was watching as Bakura put his still semi drenched clothes back on, instead of the stupid hospital wear.
"Dragging your sorry ass back to school, so I can video tape you singing." Bakura smirked, getting the desired grimace out of Kaiba.
"You shouldnt be leaving though. Not that I care."
"My ass you dont care. Still, I dont want to leave Aki here alone, and I know he'll flip out. Meh. He'll forgive me. Lets go." Bakura grabbed Kaiba's sleeve and dragged him out, "Just dont let the nurse see me and we are good!"
Why am I doing this? Kaiba cursed inwardly. Even if his insides screamed he was having fun.
Mr. Dartz was on stage, "Kaiba? Seto Kaiba? Where are you?" he was thorouly puzzled, "Last call, then we skip you." Still nothing, "Alright Mr. Kaiba, we -" his sentence was cut short as Bakura kicked the auditorium doors open screaming "The show must go on!"
Zany: R&R pleaaaaaase! I love reviews!
