Right, I noticed some people didn't much care for the content in the last chapter, but there's no more of that sort of stuff here on in. ^^ Nothing more to worry about. ^^

Chapter 3-I Should Have Been There.

O.k, the title may have given parts away, but things aren't always what they seem. Read on to find out what I mean.

Meanwhile, 7:49, Rhamana is walking home, listening to her Walkman. Happily, she listens to one of her favourite songs on the tape, 'Oh Starry Knight'. (AN: Full rights to Sailor Moon, this is the song Rae sings at the autumn festival.) As she walks on, some of the papers out of her case fall out, and flutter in the gently summer breeze. 'Stupid case.' She muttered, turning her tape up and catching her papers. As she goes after the papers, she hums along with the tune.

'Oh Starry Knight, You are the one that I dream of, Oh Starry Knight.'

Back at Rhamana's house, it's nearly eight 'o'clock. The television is playing softly in the background. Bakura is starting to get worried. He picks up the phone and Rhamana's address book, and leafs through it, until he finds a number entitled 'work'. He dials the number, and waits to hear Umusi's voice answer the phone. 'Hello? How can I help you?' Umusi asks the other end of the telephone. 'Hello. Err, can you please tell me if Miss Rhamana Julita is still working? Only, she's late home, and I was getting a little worried about her.' Bakura asked the other parson on the phone *He doesn't know many of Rhamana's friends* 'Oh Hi! You must be Bakura?' She asked, grinning to herself. 'Err, yes, that's my name. Has Rhamana mentioned me or something?' He replied, a little taken back. 'Oh yes, all through lunch. My name's Umusi. I'm one of Rhamana's closest friends here.' 'Oh hello Umusi. Nice to meet you, or at least, your voice. Anyway, about Rhamana, is she still there?' Umusi was shocked. It was over half an hour since Rhamana left. 'Um, no, she's not here. Why, is she not back home yet?' she asked worriedly, looking at the clock on the wall opposite her desk. 'No, I thought she might have been held back at work or something.' Bakura answered, also getting increasingly worried. His eyes strayed towards the television screen, and noticed that there was a news bulletin on. 'We are live at the scene of the accident, where a typist for a local business firm has just been seen to be hit by a joy rider in a hit and run incident. We now join Sam Kanaka live at the accident scene. Sam, Can you please report on the accident?' 'Yes. It would seem that the typist, a young woman, was chasing some papers that fell out her briefcase. I have an eyewitness here with me. Sir, can you please tell me what happened?' 'Yes. The girl, as you said, was chasing her papers, when the joy riders screamed round the corner in a blue Jaguar, mounted the curb, and hit the poor girl head on. She saw them coming, but didn't have a chance. She looked rooted to the spot. Then, before she was hit, she raised her hands up, and screamed, 'I'm sorry, Bak-!' The joy riders didn't stop.' 'Thank you sir. The young girl has just been taken to Central Hospital. The paramedics have her in a stable condition. This is Sam Kanaka, reporting live.' 'Thank you Sam. In other news.' 'Dear God, no. Umusi, I've got to go. I've just seen the news. I.I think she may have been knocked over.' Bakura stammered, before putting the phone down. He switched of the t.v, the cooker, and grabbed his denim jacket before running out, slamming the door after him. His mind was all a whirl. 'Why Rhamana, and why now?' He thought as he ran to the hospital, his heart pounding.

Back at Rhamana's house, the candles flickered as a breeze from the shutting door hit them and went out.

'Excuse me, I need to find someone. She was just brought in, a girl. She. was in a. hit and run.' Bakura panted to the receptionist. 'Yes. Just a minute.' The receptionist said to Bakura, and typed something into the computer she was sitting in front of. 'What is her name, please?' 'Rhamana. Rhamana Julita.' He answered, shaking. 'I know this may sound insensitive,' The receptionist started, looking over her glasses, 'But please calm down. She's fine. The doctors have just given her a few stitches and cleaned her up. You can go see her if you like.' 'Yes please. Where.where is she?' Bakura asked, calmer now he knew she was o.k. 'Jean, will you take him to see Rhamana?' Asked the receptionist. 'Yes. This way please.' Said a young nurse, beckoning to Bakura to follow her. 'Oh, god. Rhamana!' He whispered when he saw frail form of Rhamana in the hospital bed, strapped up to an ECG machine. 'I'll leave you alone for a bit.' The young nurse said, walking out and shutting the door gently behind her. 'Hi Bakura.' She replied weakly. 'Sorry. if I ruined.the surprise.' Bakura couldn't bear it any longer. His eyes filled up with tears of mixed emotions, love, relief, and sadness. 'Oh, Rhamana, that doesn't matter, we can do it again. But there was one little thing that I don't want to wait to do.' At this, he got down on one knee. 'Rhamana,' He began nervously. 'Rhamana, as we both know, I've loved you for a long time. but, I was wondering if we could make it official, and you would do me the great honour, of. of.What I'm trying to say is. Rhamana?' 'Yes Bakura?' She replied, guessing what was going to happen next. 'Rhamana, will you. marry me?' He finished, blushing like crazy.
