Disclaimer: I don't own anything. I'm a freshman chick in high school and some sophomore owns my soul(long story). I am nothing, own nothing.

Bakura's POV
Bakura stirred and glared at the foreign machines hooked up to him. It was painful to move and he panicked. He was in a bleak gray room and he couldn't move. Why am I still alive? Bakura wondered. It definitely *looked* like it belonged in the Shadow Realm but he didn't feel the presence of the malevolence. That was when Bakura's eyes narrowed as Yami walked into the room.
"Oh good, you're awake," Yami said in a not-too-nice tone as he walked to the window.
"Why am I strapped down?"
"You fought us when we tried to strap the IV line to you."
"Where am I?"
"The hospital."
"Oh," Bakura said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, and Ryou's fine, by the way," Yami said, his sarcasm back full blast. Bakura's eyes blazed red. How dare he?
"Where is he?"
"Why, so you could go and finish the job?"
"Pharaoh, you could give me a little credit. If I wanted him dead, he would of been lifeless already."
"Funny. So would you. You're lucky Yugi found you both in time."
Bakura, enraged, snapped the restraints, pulling the IV line out of his arm. He got to his feet and approached Yami.
"Where is he?"
"You don't deserve to know."
A look of desperation crept into Bakura's eyes and voice.
"Where. Is. He?"
"Room 230," Yami finally complied. Bakura ran down the hallway, hospital gown and all, and flew into room 230. A pale boy lay breathing raggedly on the bed, about twenty machines hooked up to his frail body that was swallowed up in the blankets.
"Hikari? Hikari-koi?" Bakura whispered timidly. A frown crossed the ashen, sleeping face.
"He's in a coma," a voice said behind Bakura. Yami looked at Ryou sadly. "He might not wake up." The tomb-robber just watched Ryou, the news sinking in. Yami shook his head in disgust at the other yami before walking off.
Bakura approached the bed slowly. His face got a pained look and he felt the need to say something to justify his actions. Yet he knew that nothing could ever excuse his behavior.
~*Stranger than your sympathy
This is my apology
I'm killing myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out
I wish for things that I don't need
All I wanted, and what I chase won't set me free
All I wanted, and I get scared but I'm not living on my knees
And everything's all wrong
Everything is all wrong
Where the hell did I think I was?*~
"I- I never realized that if I tried to put you through what I went through, you would react the same way. I never realized just how alike me and you are."
~*Stranger than your sympathy
I take these things so I don't feel
I'm killing myself from the inside out
And now my head's been filled with doubt
It's hard to lead the life you choose
All I wanted, and when your luck's run out on you
All I wanted, its hard to see when all your dreams are coming true
It's easy to forget
You choke on the regret
Who the hell did I think I was*~
I never thought you would try to end it all. I used to wish that I could turn you into me but- but now I *don't* want you to be me. Because I hate myself, but I- I care about you. I used to be exactly like you, then turned into this! I just didn't want to be lonely in my misery but instead of accepting your company, I tried to turn you into something that I hate. I tried to turn you into me. Ra forsake this, I never wanted this. I never wanted to be alone again. Why did you leave me?"
~* Stranger than your sympathy
All these thoughts you stole from me
I'm not sure where I belong
Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong
And I wasn't all the things
I tried to make believe I was
And I wouldn't be the one to kneel
Before the dreams I wanted
And all the talk and all the lies
Were all the empty things disguised as me*~
"You were always so accepting and- and loving. Even when I was the worst to you, you still offered understanding and anything that I needed. I just want to say; I'm sorry. I wish...I wish I knew in advance and could of shown...Damn it Ryou! I was just like you! And now I'm the worst part of you..."
