[Bakura to Ryou]
{Ryou to Bakura}
Bakura: Save us.
Yami: Yes, please...
Kendra: Yami! You came on your own free will!
Bakura: Not me...
Kendra: This is your fic! Be happy! And say your words!
Yami: No.
Bakura: Stupid Pharaoh, we don't even know what they are....

:Questions:
**Bakura**
I saw red, literally. Though, it might have been Yami's blood... Anyway... Running down the street I actually jumped on the damn wolf-thing's back and jammed the dagger as hard as I could between the damn thing's shoulder blades. It shuddered and disappeared in suddenly, leaving me to fall into the position of straddling Yami, dagger poised above his chest as if I was about to stab him. Combine that with the fact that he's all bloody... It didn't make a very convincing picture when the Pharaoh's hikari appeared again.
"Bakura!" he yelled at me.
"I swear to Ra!" I said quickly as I got off Yami. One thing that drives me crazy is getting blamed for something I didn't do. It's nice to get credit for something someone does... But one must give credit where credit is due...
"Yeah right!" Yugi yelled looking pointedly at the bloody dagger clenched tightly in my fist and his bloody yami. "Are you all right Yami?" he asked kneeling down beside his yami.
"Fine aibou," Yami told him, damn pharaoh, always being the tough guy. I turn away, looking for Ryou. Or Ryou's corpse. Whichever. Doesn't matter to me.
Does.
Shut up, stupid conscious. Least, I think that was my conscious. Fuck, now I'm hearing voices other than Ryou's in my mind. I rub my forehead. One voice is annoying enough... ^You're just jealous the little voices aren't talking to you!^
"Yami?" gasped a voice in the corner of the alley. I look over at the body of my hikari and can't help but gasp.
"Stupid hikari," I mutter as I bend down beside him. His shirt is in shreds, pants too. Bloody marks cover his body and face. His hair is soaked in his own blood and there is a small puddle under him. I pull off my own sweater and wrap it around his torso. He winces and lets out a gasp as I tighten it harshly. Stupid hikari... Getting himself chopped up... Damn wolf-thing....
"Is th- the-" Ryou tries to gasp out.
[Mentally, idiot,] I tell him. I look for the ring. Then see it in the place I least expected it, clenched tightly in his right hand, the rope snapped like it had been chewed. Picking him up almost tenderly I cradle him in my arms. [This is just because you're an idiot,] I tell the dead weight in my arms.
{The wolf?} Ryou begs.
[Dead. I think.]
{Very reassuring,} Ryou says sarcastically, I glare at him and he subsides. {Did Yami get him?}
[No, it got him. I got the wolfy.] I've reached the entrance to the alleyway and Yami and Yugi are both staring at me. Ryou's heavier than he seems, I shift my grip slightly and he gasps again, trying to curl into a tighter ball to escape the pain. [Stop moving idiot!] I growl tightening my grasp to keep from dropping the stupid boy. The Pharaoh opened his mouth to speak, from the smirk on his face I don't want to hear it. "Shut up Fern-Head," I tell him as I walk by. Something wet falls against my chest. Looking down I see Ryou's head leaning against my chest. The boy looks to be asleep. "Stupid aibou," I whisper continuing on towards the house, hearing Yami and Yugi following behind.
**Ryou**
I open my eyes slowly, "Fern-Head, shut the fuck up," the first thing I hear. I snort mentally, Bakura at it again.
"One would almost think you liked him," Yami taunted.
"Ra damn you Pharaoh. I had to save him. He makes a good vessel."
{Yami?} I ask weakly.
[Ryou?] he asks almost instantly, was that worry I heard?
{What's-}
[Never-mind Ryou,] he tells me, hardness evident in his voice again. [Rest.]
I feel my eyebrows rise in surprise, but try to keep my surprise to myself as I take stock of my body. I feel like a mummy, wrapped in bandages from head-to-toe. Well, not quite. I have several bandage wrapped in a criss-crossing pattern across my chest, my legs are wrapped tightly as well. There is a bandage on my right cheek and one wrapped around my head. There is a slight pressure on the side of my neck, I feel it shift and I realise that someone's holding a bandage to my neck. "Leave Pharaoh."
"Why?" Yami asks sweetly, I realise that the two spirits are in the same room as me. Not another as I first thought.
"My- The boy need rest," Bakura corrected himself almost instantly, but I caught it, and I know that Yami did too.
"Come on Yami," Yugi pleaded, I can almost see him tugging on Yami's arm. "Let's go..."
Yami sighs, "I hate you tomb-robber."
"I hate you too," Bakura says happily and the hand on my neck adjusts again. The sound of a door opening sounds, two sets of footsteps walk out, then the door closes again. I hear Bakura sigh, "How the hell did this happen to you aibou," he murmurs to himself as the pressure leaves my neck. I feel the wet bandages begin to be removed from my legs. "You bleed too easily," he tells me, though he obviously expects me not to answer.
"Sorry," I can't help but say before falling into sleep.
**Bakura**
"Sorry." What the hell! The kid's awake! Dammit! I thought he was sleeping! I grumble slightly to myself as I continue to change his bandages. Damn wolfos, scarring my Ryou! Wait a minute. Did I just think that? My Ryou? Well, why not, no one can hurt him but me. I nod decisively, yeah, that's it.
And pigs fly.
Stupid voice. Wish I could kill it. I look at the knife that I discarded on the table, suddenly Ryou winces under my hands. "Hikari?" I whisper.
"Stop..." Ryou whispers. A dream, I realise as I return to tending his legs. Who knew a kid like Ryou could loose so much blood?... He's looking a bit pale... Is that good? Dammit... I hate this...
* ^ * ^ * ^ *
I sit, leaning against the wall beside Ryou's bed, I haven't moved in what seems like forever, my hand is still sitting on his fucking neck, holding the bandage over where the wolfos bit his neck to break the ring off. It's the only place that's still bleeding, if sluggishly. I feel my eyes sliding slowly shut... I jerk myself up. You're going soft, Bakura, I think, time was where you could sit awake for ten times this... But my eyes slide shut and I sleep.
* ^ * ^ * ^ *
"Yami?"
"Hm?" I ask groggily, opening my eyes slowly.
"You're hurting me." I blink my eyes open and see that I'm lying across Ryou's chest, my hand still pressed to the side of his neck, the other is on his stomach, my head resting just past the middle of his chest. I sit up with a start, "what were-"
"Shut up," I snap. Ryou looks hurt, "Are- are you okay?" I ask softer.
"Best as I can be," he whispers. "Everything hurts..." Then he seems to realise it was me who was asking me how he was feeling and he stares at me. I feel myself blushing and I stand up, turning away. Stupid hikari... "Are you okay?" he asks.
"Fine," I snap as I walk over to where I left the knife on the table, still bloody. I busy myself with cleaning it while Ryou stares at my back. "Problem?" I finally snap.
"Why are you being so nice?"
"I'm not being nice," I exclaim. Pht, I'm getting soft. Why won't he stop staring at me! The knife falls from my fingers with a clatter. I storm out of the room. Damn hikari.... Making me soft.... Maybe if I go kill something...
**Ryou**
Yami stalks out of the room and my eyes follow him until he leaves, what did I say? Oh yeah, I called him the dreaded 'n' word. Nice. Hah, he just can't admit that he actually likes someone. Wait a minute, why would he like me? I'd shake my head but it hurts too much. Well, it's nice to know that he's not going to be beating he bloody shit out of me any time soon... Though he might just because he doesn't like liking me... Ugh, this is confusing... Do I like Yami? I don't know... Gah... I close my eyes, to much thinking, my head is spinning.
**Bakura**
"Bakura!"
I growl, would anyone miss that Yugi kid if I killed him? "Oh, Bakura, joy." I suppose the Pharaoh would mind if I killed his light... I sigh, I suppose I'll have to wait until I kill Yami 'till I kill Yugi. Wonder if Aibou would mind… Fuck! I don't need his permission for anything! I grumble to myself.
"Bakura," Yugi says, "if you're out here then who's watching Ryou?"
{Yami?}
"Ugh, speak of the devil," I mutter to myself.
"What?" Yugi asks, "I didn't hear you."
"I said no-one."
{That's not entirely true…}
[What do you mean?] I ask with little patience.
{You've got a-What are you going to do with that dagger?
YAMI!}
Kendra: Dun-dun-dun! I am so evil.
Bakura: Yes. Yes you are. She still won't tell us what the words are!
Kendra *glomps Bakura*
Yami *laughs at Bakura*: You're an idiot.
Kendra *glomps Yami*
Bakura *laughing*: Who's the idiot now?
Kendra *glomps Bakura*: You guys are giving me a workout!
Seto Muse *pops out of nowhere*: You're both idiots!
Kendra, Bakura and Yami *look at Seto*
Yami: Where did you come from?
Seto: I dunno.
Kendra: I'm running out of words!
Seto: That's why I came now, I could tell she was running out of words.
Kendra *glomps Seto*: Found one!
Yami and Bakura *laugh at Seto*
Bakura: Now that she's given us all words...
Yami: Read & Review.
Seto: And please… Tell us what our words are…
Kendra: Muahahahahaha! You shall never escape the words! *Continues to laugh evilly.*
