Since Ryou had his outburst over the phone, Marik had been called to do the night shift at the museum leaving Mariku to try and calm Ryou down. This worked with a few comedy films, snacks, drinks and Ryou writing what he was feeling at the time.
Now Ryou was curled up on the plush purple couch, the film Prom Night playing in the background while writing down his emotions. Mariku nowhere to be seen though could be heard singing dreadfully in the shower, though before the taller Egyptian had gone for his shower he explained to Ryou to just relax and ignore the house phone if it started to ring.
Sighing deeply to himself Ryou leaned back on the couch closing his eyes when he jumped, jumped to the sound of the house phone ringing when it suddenly stopped
"Hello you have reached the Ishtar Residence, I am sorry but we are unavailable to take your call. We are either at work or busy doing something else, Leave your message after the beep and one of us will get back to you as soon as we can" And with that the sound of a beep echoed throughout the living area
"Marik? Mariku? I know you are in. Anyway I need your help Mariku... I've... well d-done something stupid..." The voice stopped as Ryou glanced over his shoulder staring wide eyed at the voice machine, blinking when the voice spoke again, "Mariku answer the phone... P-please answer the phone... I need to know Ryou can't hear this... Bloody hell you dumb ass Egyptian! Look call me, I need to speak with you... Though I hope you get this stupid message soon" With that the call ended as Ryou blinked staring at the phone, biting his bottom lip Ryou gulped lightly and turned back to watching the television while he wrote something down on the pad of paper in his lap.
An hour later Mariku and Ryou were sat on the couch watching a film called 50 first Dates when again the house phone rang, Ryou glanced up at Mariku who shrugged
"It could be 'Kura again"
"Bakura called?"
"While y-you were in the shower" Ryou whispered as Mariku nodded and stood up walking over to the phone as he picked up the receiver and spoke calmly
"Mariku speaking... What's up Bakura? Watching a film at the moment... What the fuck have you done!? Bakura tell me what you done! No! What... Yeah I can barely hear you, what do you mean?" Mariku answered with concern lacing his words as he glanced at Ryou who was staring at him, blinking Mariku dropped the receiver of the phone and darted for the front door. Pulling on his boots and coat he glanced at Ryou who had dashed to the door way, "Ryou stay here, Marik should be back in about 30 minutes. Do not leave this apartment till Marik is back" Mariku stated as he ran out the front door. Leaving Ryou standing in the hallway tilting his head to the side confused, shrugging it off Ryou walked back into the living room where he could hear the phone beeping. Sighing ever so softly and smiling faintly Ryou picked up the receiver of the phone and held it to his ear to hear that the line had gone dead, placing the receiver back onto its rest Ryou walked back over to the couch and sat down while glancing at the clock. It was just before midnight, Marik was due home at half past, until then Ryou would be sat alone watching T.V when his mobile buzzed on the kitchen side. Jumping slightly Ryou stood up and walked into the kitchen to drag his phone of the counter, glancing at the caller I.D Ryou paled, it was his and Bakuras house phone, answering it and lifting the phone to his ear Ryou gulped lowly
"H-Hello?"
"R-Ryou... Its B-Bakura..."
"W-what do y-you want B-Bakura-Sama?"
"J-Just listen to me... Please d-don't hang up..."
"L-Look B-Bakura-Sama, I h-have to go" Ryou whispered as he felt a lump building in his throat, when he was just about to hang up he heard the sound of ragged breathing and choked back tears
"R-Ryou... P-please come home... I n-need you"
"Y-You don't need me... B-Bakura..."
"R-Ryou I do... P-please come home... I'm S-sorry"
"G-good bye B-Ba-Bakura-Sama..." Ryou whispered as he sighed deeply and closed his eyes while ending the call, fresh tears made their way slowly down alabaster flesh as Ryou wiped them away and walked back into the living room and sat down on the couch and pulled his knees to his chest.
As the minutes ticked by Ryou jumped slightly when he heard the front door opening, glancing at the time Ryou dashed to the front door grabbing his coat,
"Woah Ryou what is wrong?"
"We have to go now! Mariku rushed to my place, Bakura-Sama might off done something stupid" Ryou stated as he pulled on his trainers and rushed out the door with a startled and surprised Marik glancing at him. Blinking Marik grabbed his phone as it started buzzing in his pocket
"Hello?"
"Marik where is Ryou?"
"Erm... he just ran past me out the front door?"
"Marik don't let him come to his place, I have the police and ambulances here, go after him!"
"W-wha-" Marik didn't get chance to finish his sentence when the phone went dead, blinking at his phone Marik blinked again before gasping and running after Ryou. Catching up to the white haired teen Marik stopped and grabbed for Ryous hand before he noticed the flashing of lights just ahead of them, glancing up Marik saw where Ryou was gazing. It was the Bakura house-hold, there were two police cars and an ambulance. Marik sighed as he tried pulling Ryou closer, but the boy just shook him off and ran towards the entrance of his own apartment.
Coming to an immediate halt Ryou gasped when he saw Mariku standing on the grass beside the walk way of his apartment, darting his eyes around Ryou ran over to Mariku though paused instantly when he saw the taller Egyptian had blood on the front of his shirt. Gasping loudly Ryou shook his head as he made a darted attempt to run into the house, only to be stopped by a tall dark haired male, screaming and shouting at the police officer Ryou kicked his legs trying to get free
"GET OF ME! LET ME GO! PLEASE!"
"Sir I need you to calm down, you cannot enter this address sir"
"THIS IS MY HOUSE! LET ME GO!"
"Sir, you need to calm down. I have some questions for you to answer" the tall male stated as professionally as possible as he tried to hold Ryou back who went almost limp in his arms when he saw two ambulance men walk out of the front door pulling and pushing a stretcher, Ryous eyes widened in disbelief breaking free from the police officer just as Mariku turned around to see Ryou running towards the stretcher
"BAKURA!" Ryou screamed as he stopped at the stretcher to see his darker half, blood covering his face and throat while IV drips were attached to his hands and arms while a mask was over his face, "Bakura-Sama wake up, Please wake up Bakura!"
"Sir please step away"
"NO! Bakura wake up! Wake up you bastard! You can't leave me!"
"Someone control this kid, he is going to pull the IVs from this man's arm" a young female said,
"Ryou, come on, calm down" Mariku said calmly wrapping his arms around the boys waist and pulling him away from the stretcher
"B-Bakura-Sama!"
"Ryou! You need to calm down"
"NO! Bakura needs to wake up! He can't leave me" Ryou shouted as he finally stopped fighting the taller Egyptian and slumped down onto the stone pavement
"Ryou, Bakura will be fine, he just needs some medical attention"
"W-what ha-happened?" a low panicked voice spoke as Ryou stared off at the stretcher being folded into the back of the Ambulance with an unconscious Bakura laying on top
"I didn't get here in time. Bakura slit both his wrists and his throat, I'm sorry Ryou, I tried talking some sense into him but it didn't work" Mariku whispered lowly as he turned his eyes away from both his own lighter half and the one in his arms. Hearing Marikus words Ryou stilled and paled instantly, his breathing hitching as his eyes rolled back before he fell completely limp within Marikus arms, glancing down Mariku sighed as he indicated to Marik to take the limp boy so that he himself could stand up and talk with the officer who was indicating for him to go over. Nodding Marik took Ryou into his arms and held him tightly as he watched Mariku walking over to the police office and talk with him, sighing to himself Marik looked down at Ryou and noticed that some blood must off transferred from Marikus top onto the boys face as he carefully wiped it off.
"Mariku, you said you were on your way over here after receiving a phone call from Mr Bakura"
"Yes I was, I had been at home with Ryou Bakura. My Brother Marik was at work and I was looking after Ryou, the two had, had a disagreement about something so Ryou came to stay with me and my brother"
"I see, you mentioned earlier about a phone call Mr Bakura made to your house"
"Yes, Touzukou. Bakuras first name, called my place to speak with Ryou, but I could tell something was a little off in the way he spoke and simply told him Ryou was watching a film which me and Ryou were doing"
"What were you watching?" The police officer asked writing down what Mariku said as he paused and glanced up
"We were watching 50 first dates, before Touzukou called. I spoke with him while watching it"
"Did Mr Bakura mention anything about attempting to kill himself over the phone to you?"
"I'm afraid not, he never mentioned anything to me about it. I knew something was wrong and he kept hinting about leaving for good, but I just didn't get what he meant until I heard him drop the phone. It was at that moment that I ran over here, I even tried ringing him but he never answered at first then his cell was busy so I gathered he had, had more brains and rang for the Ambulance himself. But it seems I had been wrong" Mariku explained glancing over to his boyfriend and the smaller Teen as he sighed, "Look Officer I want to take my brother home, and I need to get Ryou back to mine before he comes to"
"That is understandable, here is my contact number, call me if you can think of anything I may need to know about the reason behind him trying to well you know, off himself" Mariku nodded taking the small card handed to him as he turned around and walked over to Marik, leaning down Mariku lifted Ryou and indicated for Marik to follow as he left the scene of the attempted suicide and returned to his and Mariks apartment.
Back at the Ishtar Residence Mariku had placed Ryou down upon the couch and told Marik to go and grab him some blankets to cover the shivering unconscious British teen, rushing of to grab the blankets as his beloved had ask Marik returned just moments later with one of their biggest and warmest blankest as he watched Mariku place it carefully over Ryous sleeping form. Stepping back briefly Marik walked into the kitchen and flicked the kettle on and made two cups of coffee for himself and his boyfriend as Mariku came into the kitchen as he removed his top and slung it into the washing machine while pulling out a piece of paper from his back pocket, sighing Marik watched as he set the two cups down after making the hot drinks and looked at his boyfriend puzzled
"What is that Mariku?"
"It was with Bakura when I got their apartment, it's addressed to Ryou so I haven't opened it"
"B-but Mariku it has blood on it"
"I know it does, I had to tear it from his bloodied hand" Mariku explained as he sighed and leaned back in his seat while glancing at the time, "we should get to bed soon, I wouldn't want to be the one in Ryous way when he opens this"
"B-but Yami... What if Ryou hurts himself?"
"We will just hide everything he could hurt himself with, I will do down here you do up stairs" Mariku explained as Marik nodded and sipped at his coffee before walking off through the living room and went up the stairs carrying his coffee as he went around hiding everything and anything he knew Ryou could hurt himself with.
Meanwhile downstairs Mariku was staring at the blood splattered envelope with worried eyes, he sighed deeply and drained his cup of its contents and went around hiding all the knives, and everything he knew could easily cause harm. Once he had everything done he grabbed for the envelope and walked into the living room and placed it on the coffee table, sighing again Mariku glanced at Ryou and whispered in a low hushed tone while leaning down beside the smaller male brushing his hair out of his face
"I am sorry Ryou, I tried to stop him" With his words spoken Mariku pulled the covers up around the teen more before walking up the stairs to be greeted with worried violet eyes, "Ryou will be fine Marik, come on bed we are going to need our strength in the morning to deal with Ryou"
"Yeah you are right" Marik whispered lowly as he turned on his heel and walked into their bedroom and got changed for bed, after climbing into bed Marik turned to face Mariku who pushed the door to before he to climbed into bed. Sighing and curling up small Marik leaned into the older Egyptian and fell into a deep worried laced sleep followed shortly behind by the older Egyptian.
By morning, the sound of something being punched echoed throughout the small Ishtar apartment, waking both Egyptian males. Glancing at the time Marik groaned and rolled over to go back to sleep when he felt Mariku move him slightly and get out of bed, shrugging it off Marik closed his eyes and fell back to sleep leaving Mariku to go find out what was wrong. Pulling on his black sweat pants Mariku sauntered along the hallway to check the spare room to find it empty, sighing Mariku turned on his heel and walked along the landing to see a flash of white out the corner of his eye sitting on the plush purple couch. Running his hand through his hair Mariku walked down the stairs and walked over to the couch and cleared his throat softly catching Ryous attention who looked up instantly wiping at his eyes
"M-Morning M-Mariku... S-sorry if I woke you"
"It is fine Ryou, is everything alright?"
"Y-Yeah... I guess"
"Ryou, you can tell me. What is wrong?" Mariku asked sitting beside the smaller teen who was noticeably shaking, as the alabaster male handed Mariku the blood soaked note. Groaning and sighing, Mariku glanced at the note then looked at Ryou before quietly reading the note to himself
Darkness beckons to my heart, If only my love that we were not apart. I see nothing clearly, it is black. Where did my light go? Why did it vanish from me? Darkness surrounds me, Clouds me in shadows, I see nothing around me, my vision has vanished, I have become blind. In this darkness, there is no Light, there is nothing left, Why must it be so cruel? And steal from me that brightening light? If I could but repent, Repent for my sins, don't you understand? Understand that I would? You are all that mattered to me, yet I treated you so badly, I'm sorry for all the pain I caused. The pain in which ended you ended me, and ended us. Please won't you forgive me? Forgive all that I have done, Forgive me for my wrongs? If I must lose you to darkness, then know this my little one, the world loses you, it also loses me. I shall end my eternal suffering. End what is not meant to live. For you my Darling Light, were everything to me. I take up this blade, firmly in my hand, I make a small incision. Enough to let the crimson flow, for now I have nothing and nothing will save me. You were all I needed, you were my Light, and I your darkness. Now I am lost, lost without you. So I say this one last time, Goodbye my darling Light, Please live happier without me here.
Mariku stared wide eyed at the blood stained paper before glancing at Ryou, the smaller teen was just sat there staring at the floor
"Ryou..."
"I d-don't understand... w-why after a-all this time..."
"I don't know Ryou, I wish I did. Look I have to go up the hospital today, do you want to come with me? You do not have to if you don't want to" Mariku asked watching Ryous every response and action, seeing the boy still and turn away Mariku took that as a 'No thank you I'd rather not' and nodded. Standing up slowly and stretching Mariku yawned loudly before rubbing Ryous head softly and walking off into the kitchen where he put the kettle on and made a round of drinks.
Sana-Chan:*Glances at a passed out Bakura* Ugh... finally!
