Chapter II: Please Live, Bakura

Ryou's PoV

I saw a note slide underneath my door. I was curious so I walked over to it. I picked it up and read its contents.

My dearest Ryou,

I know realize that this life is not worth living. You would probably be glad that I'm leaving. I have to get one thing off my chest before I take my leave, and that's Ryou, believe it or not… I love you. Ever since the first time I saw you. I had denied my feeling toward you in my mind, but it was always there. I couldn't admit it in person and it's better this way any way. Well now I take my absence of this world.

Goodbye, My love

Bakura

"Omi Ra, Bakura. He loves me. BAKURA!"

I ran outta my room and into Bakura's. I found that the door was locked. I have to get inside. I tried ramming the door until it fell. The site I saw was horrific. Bakura was sprawled across his floor, his very own blood surrounding him. I felt nauseous. I ran over to Bakura. Checking his pulse by the wrist was totally pointless seeing that they were slit open. I slid my hand under his neck, I felt a slight beating. Good at least he's still alive. I saw his eyes open a little bit.

"Ryou."

"Bakura you can't die, I, I love you too."

"Gomen, Ryou."

His eyes shut. I was on the verge of crying. I ran to a phone and dialed 9-1-1. They said they would be here in less than 6 minutes. I ran over to Bakura and cradled his unconscious body in my arms.

"Please don't die Bakura, please, for me." I moved my face closer to his, and kissed him. I might never get the chance to again. The ambulance arrived soon afterward. They loaded him on to a stetcher and carried him into the ambulance. I rode with them to the hospital. I told them I was his brother so I got to go. They believed me, seeing as to how we both look alike.

When we arrived, they rushed him into the ER. I waited in the waiting room (a/n duh). I saw a pay phone across the room and ran over to it. I slipped in some quarters and dialed Yugi's number. Someone picked up one the other end. It was Yami.

"Hello."

"Hello, Yami, its Ryou."

"Hi Ryou, what on your mind."

"Yami I'm at the hospital. Bakura attempted suicide."

"WHAT? WHY?"

"He felt that his life wasn't worth living. He also said he loved me."

"Did you say love?"

"Yes."

"It's hard to believe, the mighty tomb robber Bakura in love. Do you want me and Yugi to come visit."

"Yeah, sure."

"We'll be right there. Bye Ryou."

"Bye." I hung up and walked over to the seat I was sitting in. I sighed deeply. He loved me. I guess he hid it by beating me. But why? I loved him. I should have told him. But I couldn't. I thought he'd laugh in my face and beat me harder.

"DAMMIT. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY." I yelled, receiving numerous stares.

"Uh, sorry." Yami and Yugi walked in to the hospital and ran over to me. Yugi came over and gave me a hug.

"Ryou, you all right?"

"Yes, I'm fine. But I'm worried about Bakura."

"I'm sure he'll be fine. We can only hope for the best though." A doctor walked out the door that Bakura was in. I ran up to him.

"What's wrong Doc, will Bakura be okay?"

"He's lost a lot of blood. He's going to need a blood transfusion within the next three days or I'm afraid he won't make it. Since you're a relative, would you mind having your blood tested for a match?"

"Yes Doctor."

I followed him into a room. I sat down on a chair and rolled up my sleeve. The doc stuck a needle in to my arm and drew my blood. He said it would be two hours before results come in. He also said the process would normally take 12 hours, but he was the only person getting tested tonite. I walked back out into the waiting room.

Two hours flew. Most of the time I just sat in the chair, staring off into space. It was getting late so Yami and Yugi left. The doctor walked out of the test room."

"Ryou, the results are in, your blood tested…"
