~xX-Chapter #11-Xx~
~xX-1 year later, Egypt-Xx~
Several feet away from the edge of the cliff stood a white marble arch with red roses covering it. A strip of carpet trailed away from the arch, looking like a river of blood. Fold-up chairs were lined up beside the carpet, covered in red silk sheets, making them look like they were covered in blood. Friends sat in the chairs.
An old priest stood under the arch, facing a tall whitenet man. He held a small black bible in his hands.
The whitenet was wearing a white silk shirt and white silk pants. His long white hair was pulled back into a ponytail. He wore black sunglasses over his auburn eyes.
A black sand-covered jeep came to a stop at the end of the carpet. The driver side door opened and a tall platinum blond Egyptian got out. He walked over to the passenger side and opened the door.
A whitenet stepped out. He wore a white silk shirt and white silk pants. His hair was down and he was barefoot. In his pale hands was a bouquet of red roses, roses as red as blood. He slipped his arm through the Egyptian's arm.
The two of them started walking up the aisle toward the marble arch. And as they did, the carpet behind them turned to liquid. As they passed the chairs, the silk sheets turned to liquid. They stopped at the arch, the Egyptian letting the whitenet go and went to sit down.
The two whitenets turned to face each other. The bouquet in the shorter man's hands started to drip blood. The taller man took his sunglasses off.
The roses above the two men started to drip blood, sliding down the white arch and staining the men's white hair, white clothes, and pale skin red.
The taller whitenet covered the shorter man's hands with his own, getting blood on his pale palms. He smiled. "This is it, Ryou," he told the other quietly.
The shorter boy smiled, crystalline tears in his warm brown eyes. "I know, Kura, I know."
The sky turned from clear and sunny to cloudy and dark. The clouds opened up and sheets of rain fell.
~xX-Bakura's bedroom-Xx~
The whitenet shot up into a sitting position, clutching the cloth above his heart. His breathing was quick and shallow. He glanced around and found himself alone in bed. He sighed and slipped out of bed, trying to control his breathing.
He stepped into the bathroom, slammed the door shut, and stood in front of the sink. His tired red/brown eyes stared into the cracked mirror. "This is it," he told his reflection. "If this doesn't stop…it'll kill me."
After taking a shower and going back into his room to get dressed, the whitenette walked downstairs to the kitchen. He sat down at the table.
A tall Egyptian with his platinum hair sticking up into the air, walked into the kitchen. He glanced at the whitenette before sitting down beside him.
Another Egyptian walked into the kitchen, his platinum hair laying flat. He started to cook breakfast.
The taller Egyptian placed his hand on the whitenette's shoulder. "Hey, it'll be all right. Before you know it, he'll be up and ready to go."
The whitenette shook his head. "Marik…the doctor said that he probably won't make it."
Marik sighed. "Bakura I have a good feeling that the doctor is wrong. You have to trust me."
Bakura sighed sadly and crossed his arms on the table. He rested his head on his arms and stared at the grains in the table.
The shorter Egyptian set three plates of food on the table. "Come on, Bakura, you have to have faith. He'll wake up, you'll see."
Bakura shook his head. "No he won't, Malik."
Malik reached over and gently took hold of Bakura's pale hand. "Why don't we go see him, hmm?"
Bakura nodded, tears in his dulling red/brown eyes. He sniffed.
"But we can't go if you don't finish your breakfast."
Bakura sat up and lifted his fork. He started to eat.

"Kura!" Ryou called.
Bakura stepped into the hall. "Yeah?"
"I'm going to the store. Is there anything you need?"
Bakura stepped close to the shorter boy and pulled him close. "The only thing I need is for you to come back safely."
Ryou smiled. "Don't worry, Kura, I will." He kissed the taller man's lips and pulled back a moment later. He stepped out of the man's embrace and went to the front door. "I'll be back." He left the house.
As Ryou was leaving the grocery store, someone came up behind him and struck him in the head with something heavy.
When he regained consciousness, Ryou felt like his head might explode. He groaned and tried to sit up, but found that his arms were tied down. When he opened his eyes, he was met with blackness. He struggled with his bonds, but his head started to hurt again.
"Well, well, well, it looks like our little friend is awake," a man's voice said. He laughed.
There was a laugh. It sounded like a girl. "I'm so glad he's awake. It'll make revenge even better."
Ryou stopped. He thought he recognized the voices.

Bakura took a step inside the hospital room. He held a bouquet of red roses in his pale hand. He gulped, afraid to go any further.
Malik smiled. "Come on, it's all right."
Bakura walked over to the bed and emptied the vase of the crumbling dying roses. He carefully set the new roses in the vase. He went over to the chair beside the bad and sat down.
A whitenette lay on the bed, tubes connected to all parts of his pale body. A tube was going into his mouth, helping him breathe. His hair was flowing around his face. He wore sweatpants, the rest of his body bandaged up, covering up stitches that held the worst of the wounds together.
Marik and Malik sat in the chairs across the foot of the bed. They stayed quiet, watching Bakura.
Bakura reached over, carefully taking hold of Ryou's hand. He stared off into space, thinking back to past days many years ago. He ran his thumb over the gold ring on the pale cold hand.
(2 Years Ago)
The blindfold was removed from Ryou's head. He glared at the two people he knew back in high school. "What do you want?"
Tea smiled. "You killed Yugi."
Ryou shook his head.
"Yes you did, Ryou," Tristan said. He took a step forward.
The two of them looked like they did in high school, but a bit older. Tea now wore clothes that showed off her body. Tristan had got rid of the trench coat and now wore a hoodie. They both had a silver band on their left hand.
They must be married, Ryou thought to himself. "Yugi died from alcohol poisoning."
Tristan and Tea leant close to him. "And who was it that bought the alcohol?" Tea asked.
"How was I supposed to know that he would drink so much?" Ryou shook his head. "It wasn't my fault."
Tea glared at the whitenette. "Tristan, take care of him. Make him confess." She started to walk away. "Use any means necessary." She walked up a set of stairs.
Tristan grinned. "This'll be fun."

The three visitors heard one of the machines beeping, and then there was a solid buzz.
A doctor ran in. He glanced at the heart monitor. He sighed.
Nurses ran in.
Bakura jumped up. "What's going on?" he asked.
"He's dead," the doctor told him.
Bakura shook his head. "No, he…can't be…" He fell to his knees. His eyes shined with tears. He rested his head on the bed, the crystalline tears falling from his red/brown eyes.
(0.5 Years Ago)
Ryou heard the doorbell ring. His dull eyes lit up as a thought entered his mind. He took a deep breath and- "Help! Someone Help Me!"
The ringing paused.
I have to yell louder. Ryou mustered his strength and screamed. "HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! HELP! HELP ME!" He tried to catch his breath.
The ringing stopped completely.
Minutes passed with only silence, until suddenly-
"Hey! Where are ya?" a man's voice asked.
"Down here! In the basement! Come help me!"
"I will," the man told him. "Jus' give me a sec. Dis door's locked tigh'."
Ryou heard something like the sound of mice, then a click, and last the sound of the door opening. He watched as a man walked down the stairs. He gasped as he recognized the man. His eyes rolled up and he felt darkness surround him.

The moment the first tear fell onto the cold pale hand, there was a beep.
Marik and Malik had moved to stand beside Bakura.
There was another beep, followed by another and another. Soon, the room was filled with the beeping noise.
"I don't believe it," the doctor said quietly.
Bakura lifted his head and glanced at the heart machine. He saw the once-solid line now jumping evenly. He blinked.
Ryou groaned past the tube in his mouth. He opened his eyes and glanced around the room.
Bakura smiled.
The doctor stepped forward. "Just give us a second and we'll have that tube out."
Ryou's warm brown eyes shined with tears as they stared into Bakura's red/brown eyes.
