I See, The Blood All Over Your Hands
Does It Make You Feel More Like A Man
Was It All Just A Part Of Your Plan?
Was It All Just A Part Of Your Plan?
The Pistols Shaking In My Hands
And All I Hear Is The Sound…
Ryou placed the knife over his arm lightly. Then slowly he pushed it harder into his flesh. He could feel some pain, but it was nothing compared to how much his heart hurt. He switched hands and did the some to the other wrist. Ryou dropped the blade and looked at his handiwork. He stared down at the blood that was pouring out of his arms…he was transfixed at how…beautiful, the blood looked. Hesitantly he brought one wrist up to his mouth…
**Yami Bakura**
"Ryou!" Bakura sat up looking around. He could feel that his precious Hikari was in pain, and lots of it. Bakura closed his eyes and tried to see through Ryou's eyes so he could tell where he was. All he could see was red…
**Yami Bakura**
It started to hurt more…Ryou's vision started to get blurry. More blood kept coming, more and more red.
"Ryou!!"
Ryou's head snapped up at the sound of his name. He saw his Yami standing there.
"Yami, I am sorry, I am so sorry…" Ryou picked up a pistol that he had lying near by. Seeing the sudden movement, Bakura lunged forward and ripped the pistol out of Ryou's hand. Then he threw it as far away as he could.
"Damnit Ryou! What the hell are you thinking?" Bakura sobbed then gently pulled Ryou into a hug. Ryou yanked himself out of Bakura's arms and curled himself into a little ball and started to rock back and forth muttering things under his breath. Bakura leaned forward so he could hear what Ryou was saying. What Bakura heard made him feel like the worst person alive.
I Love You, I Hate You
I Can't Live Without You
I Breathe You. I Taste You
I Can't Live Without You
Ryou was crying, "I'm sorry Yami, I'm so sorry."
"Ryou…" Bakura gasped softly, "Ryou, my love, there is nothing for you to be sorry about. I am the one who should be and is very very sorry. Ryou, come on, we need to get you to a hospital, now." Bakura picked up Ryou and ran as fast as he could to the nearest house.
"Please! Open up! I need to use your phone! Please!" Bakura banged on the door urgently.
Finally after what seemed like forever, the door slowly opened to reveal an old woman.
"Please ma'am, I have to use your phone, my er…friend tried to kill himself, and I need to call for help. Please!" Bakura begged.
I Just Can't Take Anymore
This Life Of Solitude
I Guess I'm Out Of The Door
And Now I'm Done With You
The old woman looked shocked. "Oh my gosh, come in. I will call, you lay him on the couch." She instructed him then disappeared around the corner, leaving Bakura with a nearly unconscious Ryou. Gently Bakura lay Ryou on the couch. Soon after that the woman came back.
"Okay, they should be here soon. You, boy, hold his wrists closed so he won't lose anymore blood." The woman ordered Bakura.
Bakura did as he was told, not noticing even more of Ryou's blood was getting on him. Soon enough the ambulance had arrived.
"Please, can I come with you? Please?" Bakura begged while they were loading Ryou into the ambulance. Without waiting for an answer Bakura climbed in after them. They didn't stop him. Bakura stood in the ambulance feeling terrible because Ryou looked so pale. It seemed that it took hours for them to reach the hospital, but it was really a mere matter of minutes. They had Bakura wait in the waiting room and fill out the forms.
I Love You
I Hate You
I Can't Live Without You
Soon, very soon, the doctor came out looking flustered. "We need to give him blood, you're his brother right?"
Numbly Bakura nodded.
"You're willing to give him blood right?" the doctor asked.
"Huh? Of course."
"Good, follow me." The doctor said briskly and started down the hallway.
Bakura trotted after her.
After they were done the doctor took Bakura back to the waiting room. As she was leaving she heard a tentative voice call out after her.
"Uhh, Mrs. Can I please see my uh…brother soon?"
"Hmm, I'm sorry, he's pretty bad, you may want to take seat, and get ready for a long wait." She said sympathetically.
"Oh, okay." Bakura said depressed, and slumped into a chair.
"I'm sorry Ryou, please, forgive me. Pleases, don't leave me here. Please, I know you, you are strong, Ryou fight for your life. Gods, you have to live. My live is not worth living if you're gone. Ryou, I love you, Gods Ryou, don't leave me…" Bakura said softly crying. Bakura sat there crying for a long time…
I Love You
I Hate You
I Can't Live Without You
"Bakura?"
Bakura looked up tiredly, "Yes?"
"You may see him now, follow me."
Bakura jumped up looking much more alive and followed her. The nurse opened a door quietly.
"Shhh, he resting, you can stay here tonight if you wish."
Bakura nodded, "yes, yes, thank you."
Bakura gasped when he saw how pale and fragile Ryou looked hooked up to all those machines.
"Oh, god, Ryou, I am so sorry."
Bakura ran over to the bad and gently held Ryou's hand. Bakura kept whispering comforting words to Ryou while stroking his hand softly.
"Ya-Yami?" Ryou's eyes were opened slightly, "I-I forgive you…"
"Oh Ryou, …thank you…I love you so much Ryou." Bakura said, close to tears.
"I love you too Yami. Don't worry Yami, everything will be fine."
"I know it will Ryou…I know it will."
Always…
Always…
Always…
