His breath grew harsher as he ran, he didn't know where he was running but he was running. The only thing that kept him going was the thoughts of Danielle. Everything moved in slow motion for him, the rain beating down on him soaking his clothing. That's right, it had started to rain on them as they ran, the cars passed by their occupants not caring for the two that ran down the street, Seto Kaiba CEO of Kaiba Corp and Ryou Bakura, just your everyday average joe both running towards the same person, for Seto it was a literal example of holding the enemy in your arms. But that was what he wanted, to take her into his arms to kiss her and to tell her that she wasn't crazy like they said she was, that she like himself had been through to much. 'And that's what I intend to do.'

Bakura struggled to keep up, the cold hard rain stealing his breath as it hit the exposed skin of his face, he hated rain. His legs felt like they were going to give out, slowly giving in to the cold that had soaked itself into his clothing along with the rain. "Kaiba Stop for a minute!" He yelled before falling to his knees panting heavily. The taller brown haired boy turned to face him he himself was breathing harshly 'Good so I'm not starting to get weak.' He thought to himself with releif his breaths became long and drawn out he couldn't stand this much longer it was like dagers of ice being jabbed through his skin. "Ryou are you alright?" Seto asked looking concerned Bakura shook his head trying to clear his thoughts but nothing seemed to want to leave his thoughts were meshed and he felt a headache coming as they got louder, it wasn't his thought but a crowd passing that was making all the noise. "I'm...fine...kaiba....just a little winded that's...all." He managed to choke out before finally collapsing. "Ryou! Ryou Wake up! Ryou can you hear me!?"

"I pity you Crawford." One of the nurses remarked as they once again administered a shot into the red haired girls arm, she however paid no attention and just gazed dreamily at the walls as if something intresting no one else could see was there. She had of course been in this God Forsaken place for almost a week and if she had any coherant thoughts they remained to herself.

Ryou frowned to himself as he finally opened his eyes. Everything seemed a bit better he wasn't cold and there wasn't that splitting headache. He pushed off the covers and found himself in a large well furnished bedroom. The covers were a cool blue color and silk and a comforter of the same color over him, he was wearing instead of his school uniform a pair of silk Pajamas lined with silver stitching. There was a dresser and the bed itself was large in size, on the chair sat a set of clothes. "Where am I?" He looked around and asked no one in perticular. "Seto? Yami?" He looked around for either of the two. 'Oh well.' he thought to himself a put on the clothes. They were a bit to big, a blue button up shirt and a pair of black dress pants. After he was dressed he walked out into the hallway, which resembled a familiar place, Pegasus's castle in duelist kingdom. Several paintings hung on the walls on the tables were several figurenes and a few pictures. One in perticular caught his eye, a young Pegasus without the millenium eye, grasping his hand was a young Danielle, so tiny she could barely even grasp one of his fingers. She was smileing and holding a teddy bear as she looked up at the older man, who was carrying several shopping bags and smiling down at her, without a doubt a suprise photograph. Next to it was a picture of Danielle at the age of about 7 smiling and wrapping her arms around the neck of a girl of the same age with black hair tied in two pigtails and glasses covering grey eyes. "I wonder who she is?" He asked himself there was an answer as an elderly woman walked towards him. "That was the mistresses best friend Chisa, she commited suicide just a few days after that picture was taken." Ryou frowned, 'Suicide, Danielle never get's off easy does she?' "How sad, perhaps it's the reason why Danielle seems so distant." Ryou remarked silently running his fingers over the frame. "She seems like she's afraid to be touched, or to touch someone else, like she'll break, or that person will break."

Seto frowned as he walked up the long marble halls, he had left Ryou at Pegasus's house, and they had told him that not even himself could check Danielle out. But something so trival wasn't going to stop Seto Kaiba now was it? He walked up the silent halls which reeked with that strange sterile smell that most hospitals had. Until he came to the room he had been told Danielle was in. Sure enough she lay there asleep in the bed. Gently lifted her and grabbed the few things she had taken with her from the closet. After that he ran, through the hall and out the hospital doors several people chasing after him until he finally managed to shake them off.
"...Set-seto?" A soft voice almost nothing more than a whimper came from Danielle he started to walk still quickly but not as hard. "Where am I?" She asked softly. "On your way home Danielle, on your way home." She smiled softly and Snuggled into his blue shirt, still incredibly light headed but pleased to be going home.

Danielle pushed off several layers of blankets to find herself back home, in her room, the familiar array of stuffed animals, and photographs. She smiled to herself and snuggled into the covers. 'What are you smiling about, you know they'll only lock you away again, and again, and the next time you can kiss what chance you had of seeing your father alive again goodbye.' Her green eyes widened and she ran her fingers through the uneven red strands of hair trying to convince herself that it was just her mind playing tricks on her. Her hair had slowly started to grow back and although still uneven her hair was down past her shoulders. Finally she spoke to the voice "What are you talking about?" There was a snicker 'I'm just suggesting you do something about them.' The voice snickered once more, "How?" She asked the voice, which sounded almost exactly like her own except deeper now that she had heard it clearly. 'Kill them, make them die slowly and miserably, and finish them off, I know where to find a gun, you can do it, it will be fun.' She winced and held her head, why did it feel like no matter what she said the voice would make her do it?
