If anyone gets confused about the little fight between Yami Malik and Tea
I'm sorry, I tried to make it as clear as possible.
And someone called my story creepy. *pouts*
~thoughts~ *italics*
Warnings: Yaoi obviously.
Pairings: (Yami) Bakura/Yami, Seto/Ryou, Malik/Yugi and others I think. . .

Mai sighed to herself as she looked around at the circle of friends that had excepted her. They had all gotten very close, and even though it had taken a while for her to get used to the idea of having three spirits around, she had eventually grown attached to the idea. Now three of those friends were missing, not in the meaning of that nobody knew where they were, but they just weren't there.
Ryou, who was the reason they were all at the hospital right after school for the second time, was getting treated for brain cancer.
Then there was Bakura who was waiting for Ryou to get out of surgery, only he was waiting by the ER. Even though the spirit was slightly darker than everyone else, with the exception of Yami Malik, Mai enjoyed the former tomb robber's company.
And then of course there was Seto Kaiba who was also waiting for Ryou. The CEO hadn't gone to work at all that day, at least that's what Yami had said, and he wouldn't until he saw Ryou, which would happen in the next five hours.
The surgery had started at 7:00 that morning and it was now about 4:00 that evening. Dr. Makoto had told Bakura that the surgery would probably last about fourteen hours, and unknown to the doctors being cut off from his light was driving Bakura literally crazy.
"Yami?" Tea spoke up, bring the pharaoh out of his thoughts. He turned blank eyes to her and waited for her to continue. "If something were to happen to Ryou, will something happen to Bakura?" She wondered.
"If Ryou dies Bakura will still be alive, if that's what you're asking." Yami Malik, who stood away from the group, staring out a large window, replied harshly. He snorted at the glare Tea gave him and continued. "He'll be half a soul, but other than that he'll be fine. Bakura's been through worse than this, it's Kaiba you should be worrying about." He spoke emotionlessly, though everyone could hear the slight hitch in his voice.
But Tea didn't hear it and became angry. "We're talking about Ryou! His other half! How can he be fine after he lost a part of himself! I'm sure you wouldn't be fine if it was Malik instead of Ryou." She growled, but was cut off as Yami Malik turned his ice-cold eyes on her.
"Don't you dare compare my hikari to Bakura's." He growled softly, dangerously. "You're right, my light isn't in there, but if he was I would happily sacrifice any of you with the exception of the pharaoh's light to save him, Bakura would do the same if he could." He spat and went back to staring out the window.
"You're wrong Yami Malik." Yami said softly as he closed his eyes. "Bakura would do anything to keep Ryou happy, Ryou's the most important person in his life and he always will be." Yugi heard something in Yami's voice as he said that. "He wouldn't be fine if something happens to Ryou. He'd fall apart and will probably follow him if he dies. Bakura would sacrifice himself, but none of us because we're Ryou's friends, even you."
Yami Malik snorted, but Malik could feel him shaking through their link. "I have no friends. What's the point if all their going to do is up and die, leaving me alone?" He mumbled, then disappeared into the Millennium Rod.
Yugi looked at Malik, but the other yami had blocked their connected. Malik shook his head, then looked up as Kaiba walked into the room suddenly, Mokuba following him.
"Any news?" Joey asked.
Kaiba only shook his head. "We won't know anything until he gets out of surgery, then he probably won't wake up until morning. I'm just here to tell you guys to go home. You all have things to do, homework, be with your family. I'll contact you if something happens. Yugi? Do you mind taking care of Mokuba for me tonight?" Kaiba looked over at the small boy.
"Of course not." Yugi said.
Everyone got up and left the room, saying goodbye to Kaiba. Yami was the only one who remained, figuring he'd stay in case he was needed for anything like he had the night before.
When the room was empty, Kaiba looked at him. "You too Yami. Bakura doesn't want you here." The CEO tried not to say it harshly, but his defenses were up so he wouldn't start crying for Ryou. He saw Yami flinch at his words then nod and slowly get off the chair he had been sitting on. He stared at the floor as he passed Kaiba and trudged toward the elevators only to disappear around the corner.
Bakura didn't need him anymore.
Kaiba stared, even after the pharaoh had disappeared. "He didn't want you to see him showing weakness Yami. He's still getting used to his emotions, just give him time." He whispered to himself, wishing beyond anything that Yami could hear him.
