"Ow, what was that? Oh my god!" he gasped seeing Ryou's bloody, beaten body. He was paler than usual, from loss of blood Yugi guessed, and stood out against the navy blue carpet. His breath cam in shallow gasps and blood from a deep cut on his forehead trickled down his face.
Yami was down on his knees next to Ryou. "He's unconscious, I think he'll be okay but that cut on his head looks pretty bad." He picked him up and laid him in the back seat of the car. He waited for Yugi to get in then drove to Domino hospital.
***
They had been waiting for almost three hours now, and Ryou was still out cold. Yugi wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not, it was probably for the best he thought removing the old blood soaked napkins they had been using to stop the bleeding and replacing them with new clean ones.
Finally somebody was able to take Ryou to be examined and now all they could do was wait anxiously for news. Yugi was sitting tiredly in a chair watching Yami pace. "Stop it Yami, your worrying me. Yami sighed and slumped down into a chair next to Yugi "I'm sorry aibou, but I can't keep still right now when all I want to do is find Bakura and hurt him as bad as he hurt Ryou. But I promised Ryou I wouldn't hurt him and I always keep my word.
Yugi to Yami's hand "Don't do any thing you'll regret Yami. Take my cell phone, I'll call you if there's any news." He pulled Yami to him and kissed him softly, despite the stares they were getting. "Go." he said and watched him leave.

Bakura was sitting on a bench in the park. It was cold and dark but he really didn't care. All he could do was remember the way Ryou looked when he was caught, those chocolate eye's so full of fear. But oddly he did not feel the usaul thrill of being feard, he felt insted a pang of sorrow. Why couldn't he be kind to Ryou? Why couldn't he tell him how he felt? He wasn't afraid of rejection, Ryou had already told him that he loved him. But somehow Bakura could not beleive that Ryou really did love him. After all he had done to him, not even the angel that Ryou is could forgive him. It was just not posible. He shook his head and got up. The best thing to do is leave, that way I can't hurt him any more.
This train of thought continued as he walked through the park. "Bakura!" someone called out. He turned to see Yami sitting on the swings "Come here Bakura." Bakura could not stop himself from obeying him, yami's years as a pharoh had instilled something of a comanding air about him. He sat down and looked at Yami, dread forming in the pit of his stomach. "What? he snapped thinking please don't let it be about Ryou, please don't let him be hurt too bad. "Ryou's in the hospital," No! Bakura screamed inside. "and it's because of you that he's there." Bakura got up, he didn't want to hear this "I don't need to hear this shit." he growled, using anger to cover his pain. Yami put a firm hand on his shoulder and pulled him back "You do need to and you will."
