~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was a week after the incident that one night. Ryou was in the hospital for severe blood loss, Shay had been staying inside all the time with the exception of the night walks and school, Elle had become even more pale and quiet, and Raz had been keeping a closer eye on both girls. One day, Shay and Elle were in the front room. Shay was playing a video game and Elle was writing another poem. Shay sighed as she lost again, and rested her head on the couch. Elle looked up from her paper, "Whats wrong Shay?"
Shay rubbed her temples, "My head hurts like hell…" She sighed again. Elle nodded, "I get really bad headaches too." (AN: Raz: There called migraines. Me: I know _ shut up Raz: no Me: … Raz: ^^) "Try laying down or something."
"I tried that." She said, "It don't help. Sometimes it makes it worse." Shay sighed. "Well…" Elle thought, "Why don't we do something to take your mind off of your headache?" Shay nodded slightly, "Sure. Like what?" Elle thought, "We could…" she snapped her fingers, "I know! Have you ever played M.A.S.H?" Shay nodded, "Yeah…" Elle smiled and began to write on a piece of paper.
"Okay," She said, "Name three boys you'd like to marry." Shay thought for a while. "Ryou…um…"
"Raz?" Elle suggested. Shay went red. "Sure…and…" she thought for a while. "…um…Joey isn't too bad." Elle laughed, "Yeah, you're right." So as the girls continued to play there game, Shay's headache did disappear in due time, and they had quite a few laughs along the way.
"Okay okay," Elle said, "Here is your future." She cleared her throat, "You're going to have two kids, and you're going to marry…." she stopped. "Well?" Shay said. "Who Who??" Elle gave her a sly smile. "My bro."
The young vampire instantly went red. Elle laughed. "So…" she said, "….Do you like him?"
"What!?"
"You heard me. Do you like him?"
"…What do you mean 'do you like him?'?"
"You know what I mean, Shay." Then, Elle added in a lower voice, "…I saw you two that one night."
"ACK!!" Shay's eyes widened and she fell over. "WHAT!?" she said form the floor. Elle sweat dropped. "Oops…heh heh…" Shay got up and looked at Elle, "How much did you see?!" She demanded.
"Well…Not much."
"Not much?" Shay said. "How much is not much?"
"Um…" Elle bite her lip. "…You falling out of a tree, Raz catching you, you guys kissing and walking away…" she was silent for a while. "…and Raz kissing you then going inside."
"…That's not much…" Shay said, "…That's EVERYTHING!!!!" Elle scratched the back of her neck and laughed nervously. Shay sighed and leaned back on the couch. "You know…" Elle said, "He talks about you a lot."
"You've told me that before." Shay said, her eyes now closed. "Oh, I know." Elle said, "I was just making sure ya knew." There was a silence. "So…Do you?"
"Elle…" Shay said, "you know I'm with Ryou."
"Yeah, I know," Elle said, "But if you ever get mad at Ryou, who ya gonna turn to?"
Shay shrugged. "I dunno." She said, "Does it matter?"
"Well…Ryou is in the hospital for severe blood loss and serious injury…" Elle pointed out. "What if something happens and he-"
"STOP!" Shay cut Elle off and pounded her fist on the table. "Don't EVER speak like that!! Nothing is going to happen to Ryou! Everything will be FINE!!"
Elle's eyes went wide. "Um…okay." She said in a very small voice. There was an awkward silence. Shay sighed, "I'm sorry Elle…I shouldn't have yelled at you."
"N-No.." Elle stuttered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't put talk like that. No matter how much I think you and my brother belong together…"
"Hn…" there was another long silence.
"Elle, you little eves dropper."
Both girls spun around to see Raziel leaning in the doorway. Elle gulped, "Heh heh…Hi bro." She smiled nervously. Raz sighed and walked over. Shay stayed silent and did nothing.
"Elle, how many times have I told you not to eves drop on me?" Elle shrugged, "A few…13, 14." Raz sighed again. "I don't go through your personal stuff, do I?"
"Yes you do!" Elle stood up, "You read my diary just a few days ago!!" Raz smirked, "Oh yeah…so, how far have you got with Malik?"
"WHA!" Shay fell over. "Malik? Malik ISHTAR!?" Elle went red. "Yeah." Raz said, "She's been dating him for a while now."
"A WHILE!? O_O" Raz nodded. "…How the heck did you pull it off without everyone finding out?" Elle shrugged, "We met at the park once and started meeting there every night." She looked at the clock. "AHH! Speaking of which, I have to meet him in a while." Elle got up and headed for the room her and Raz now shared. They were now basically living with there friends and away from Elle's abusive father.
Shay sighed and got back on the couch and put her head in her hands. "Hey," Raz sat down next to her, "what's up?"
"Im just thinking…" she replied. "Oh…" he said. "…about what?"
"A lot of things."
"Hn"
Silence.
Suddenly, the phone rang. "I'LL GET IT!" Elle called. Shay heard the phone pick up and a short and fearful conversation;
"Hello?"
"Elle Leonheart."
"Yes, me and my friends know a Ryou Bakura."
"Uh huh…"
"Uh huh…"
"Oh my God, how long?"
"When did this happen? Last night?"
"Okay, I'll tell her…"
"Okay…Arigato…Sayonara…"
She hung up the phone.
"…Shay?" Elle said in a panicked voice. Shay looked up, "Hm?"
"I have some bad news…" She said. Shay blinked, "What? What happened?"
Elle swallowed, "That was the hospital…" she said, "they said Ryou fell into a coma last night…"
Shay's eyes widened and her face paled, "Oh my God…"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Joey, Yugi, Faith, Seto, Arwen, Tristen, Elle, Malik, Raziel and Shay all went to the hospital as soon as they got notice of the tragedy. Joey, Yugi and Tristen were standing at one side of Ryou's bed while Shay kneeled at the other side. Seto and Faith stood back a little, holding each others hands. Elle, Malik, Tristen and Arwen were standing by the foot of his bed, and Raziel was leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest.
"I can't believe this.." Yugi said in a sad voice. "Me neither Yug'," Joey said, "But it's happenin'."
"How did this happen though?" Faith asked. "Its very simple, blue eyes." Seto said. "You see, the loss of blood from Ryou's body caused it to shut down and-"
"That's not what I mean Seto…-.-'" the girl replied. "Well what did you mean?" He asked. "Just forget it -_-''"
Malik shook his head, "I swear, if Bakura had something to do with this I'll-"
"Bakura had nothing to do with it, Malik." Shay spoke for the first time. "Then what happened?" Malik asked.
"…Its far to complicated for you to understand." She said simply, not taking her eyes off of Ryou's unconscious form. "Grr…What's that supposed to mean!?" Malik said in an angry voice.
"That you simply cannot understand."
"Psh, I can understand a hell of a lot more than you know girl!!"
"Maly, calm down…" Elle said. Malik mumbled something and folded his arms.
"Well…" Arwen said, "I am sort of interested in knowing…do you think you could explain it Shay?"
Shay stayed silent for a moment. "…I don't know. If I could…"
"How do we know she didn't do anything to him?" Malik said. "For all we know she could be wanting to get rid of him, and she could have poisoned him or something!"
"Don't talk like that!" Faith snapped. "Shay would never do anything to hurt one of her friends!!" Malik looked at her, "Oh, and how do we know you're not planning to do the same to Kaiba and take all of his money?"
"You'd better watch you're mouth, Malik!" Seto spat. "Oh like you can do anything about it, Kaiba boy?"
"Don't call me that!!"
"Why not? Does it remind you of someone?"
"Just shut up Malik!"
"Don't tell me to shut up, Arwen."
"Don't talk to Tristen's cousin like that!"
"Shut up, Wheeler, no body asked you!"
"Well I'm sayin something!"
Soon everybody in the room was arguing except for Shay and Raz. The prince of Hell stood there and said nothing, just watching everyone. He took a look at Shay and noticed that her eyes were brimming with tears as she held the young, pale boys hand. As the buzzing and arguing got louder, his patience grew very thin, till finally, he couldn't take it anymore… "SHUT UP!" he yelled.
Everyone froze and looked at Raziel.
The demon pushed himself away from the wall, "All of you, outside, NOW." Everyone, including his own sister slowly headed for the door. As soon as everyone except for Shay was out of the room, he pushed Shay back into the chair gently and headed out the door, closing it behind him.
He got out and looked at everyone. "Look at you all," he said, "you're fighting and arguing over nothing! Now, I'm not too close to Ryou, but I know that he wouldn't want you all fighting like that." He paused. "We're all worried. Each and every one of us…even I am, a little. (AN: A little -_-' Raz: Shut up -_-'') Just…stop all this arguing! You're all, how old, 16? 17? You're acting like a group of kindergarteners. You should be ashamed of yourselves…"
They all looked at the ground. There was a moment of silence.
"…I'm going to go now," Arwen said, "I'll be late for practice if don't…" she headed down the hall, then turned and said; "Tell Shay I'll see her later, and give Ryou my best wishes." Then she turned and left.
"I'm gonna go with her," Tristen said, "See ya guys…" Then he followed his cousin. "Well…I'd better get home before Serenity gets to worried…" Joey said, "I'm supposed to tell her how Ryou is." Then he left.
"I gotta go take care of the shop, sorry guys." Then Yugi left.
Soon there was only Seto, Faith, Elle, Malik and Raz. "Well?" Raziel said, "Is anybody else going?"
Seto looked at his watch. "I have a meeting in one hour, bye blue eyes." Seto walked off, his coat billowing behind him. (AN: HOW THE HECK DOES THAT COAT DO THAT!? _ Raz: Its an anime -_-'')
"…Sorry, but I'm gonna go now." Malik kissed Elle on the cheek and walked off without another word. The three stood there in silence. "….I'm going back in." Faith said, and did just that. Elle followed her, and Raz in pursue.
Faith walked up to Shay. "…You okay?"
Shay nodded slowly, "H-Hai, I'm fine Faith-Sama."
Elle walked up to he other side of her friend, "Is he okay?" Shay bite her lip, but did nothing. She had no way of knowing how her life long friend was doing.
There was a short silence. The only noise was the beeping of the machine Ryou was hooked up to. The only thing keeping him alive. Raz side glanced at Elle. {Do you think we should?}
Elle nodded. {Yeah, they could help us all…} Raz nodded back, and closed his eyes. Elle did the same. Soon, the Ring around Raz's finger started to glow and the crystal around Elle's neck began to glow. Faith and Shay both looked over at the two siblings. "What the…" Shays eye's widened, then both friends said at the same time: "There items…" (AN: Im to lazy to check back and see if I said they had items so now ya know ^^ lol)
A girl split from Elle. They looked almost identical, but her eyes colder and darker, more emotionless. She was wearing a black hoodie and black pants, the same crystal around her neck. A boy spilt up from Raz and had the same kinda hair as Raziel, except slightly neater, and his eyes were green. He wore a outfit similar to Raz's, only it was black and blue and he wore a blue headband. The boy turned to Raz, "What's up?" he asked.
Raz nodded towards Ryou's bed side. "Think you could help us out, Ashton?" The boy looked at the bed, "Sure why not."
Faith blinked a few times. "Is he…"
"…A yami?" Shay finished her sentence for her. "Whoa…"
Ashton walked over to the bed side, opposite of Shay. The young girl looked back down at the ground. Ashton looked puzzled, and turned to look at Raziel, pointing to Shay. Raz shook his head. Ashton nodded, and turned back to Ryou. He put a gloved hand- the one with his ring -on Ryou's forehead. "Minds Eye!!" (AN: I THINK that's what you two used…hmm…lol)
Suddenly, Ryou's rich brown eyes snapped open. Shay gasped and nearly fell out of….well….rewind, she FELL out of her chair. Faith was standing there with wide eyes, speechless. Ashton looked at Raz, "Was that all?" he asked.
Raz nodded, "Yeah, pretty much." The young girl who split from Elle rolled her eyes. "Well, then I'm leaving."
"Wait Elleaner!" Elle grabbed the girls arm, "We want you two to meet some new friends of ours!" Elle smiled brightly. The girl sighed. "Whatever.-_-"
Elle smiled and pointed to Faith, "That's Faith ^_^" Faith blinked and waved. "And over there," Elle pointed to the chair, "That's…" Everyone in the room besides Ryou sweat dropped as Shay jumped up and straitened her skirt. "I-I'm okay…" Shay said.
Everyone: -_-' (AN: Sorry I had to do that ^^; lol)
"That's…Shay…" Elle said. Elleaner was quiet for a moment, then she turned to Ash. "Do they look familiar?" Ashton shrugged, "Maybe a little." Elleaner shook it off, "Hi." she said, then turned to Elle, "Is that all?"
Elle sweat dropped, "Err…This is Elleaner, my yami…" Raz nodded to Ashton, "Same."
Shay and Faith stood there, silent for quite some time. Shay looked down at Ryou, who was blinking, trying to get his eyes to adjust to the bright lights. Shay kneeled down and took his hand, "Ryou…?" she said gently.
Ryou looked up at Shay and blinked, "Shay?"
"RYOU! You're all right!" Shay flung her arms around him, luckily not knocking any wires or cords. Ryou blinked a few time in surprise. "Ryou…" Shay said softly, "I'm so sorry…"
A small smile played across Faith's lips. {Those two make such a cute couple…} she thought. Faith looked over at Raz. Raz was leaning against the wall, watching the two. Suddenly, he spun around and walked out the door. Faith blinked in confusion and looked at Elle. Elle bit her lip and nodded towards Shay and Ryou. Faith nodded, then turned and followed Raziel. Elle went after. Elleaner looked at Ashton, {What's wrong with him?} she asked through a mind link. (AN: I would ASSUME that the yami's had some too each other, lol)
Ashton: *points to Shay* {That} (AN: Im just going into script mode real quick to make it easier on all of us, lol)
Elleaner: {That?}
Ashton: {That's the girl he loves}
Elleaner: {…oh…}
Ashton: {Yeah. And how do you think he feels seeing her kiss Ryou?}
Elleaner: {I can relate}
Ashton: {Ye-HEY!} (AN: Ashton: Wtf are you talking about Shay? Me: *shrugs* Ashton: -__-')
Elleaner: {-____-''}
Ashton: {Anyway, can you pick up anything un-normal about her?}
Elleaner: {Yeah, I can actually}
Ashton: {hmm…}
Elleaner: {Well, Im going}
Ashton: {Same}
~*~Ashton and Elleaner both disappeared inside there soul rooms~*~
~/~Out in the hall~\~
Faith run after Raz, "Raz! Wait up!"
Raz kept on walking, his eye's on the ground. Faith scowled, she did NOT like being ignored. (AN: Secret: princess Faith: SHUT UP! _) She walked right up behind him and grabbed his arm, spinning him around. "Listen to me!! _" she said.
Raz looked at Faith, "What!?" he nearly screamed. Faith blinked in surprise, "Um…Hey, why did you run off?"
"Take a guess." he said, kinda curtly. (AN: Raz: kinda? Me: shut up _) Faith took a guess, "Um…does it have anything to do with Shay and Ryou?"
Raz: …
Faith: …Well you said Take a guess _
Raz looked at the floor and sat down. Elle walked up behind Faith, "You all right bro?" she asked Raz.
"Yeah," Raziel said with a hint of sarcasm, "perfect." Elle and Faith stayed silent for a while. "Well…" Elle said finally, "…if you love her, tell her."
"For one, I have. For two, what difference will it make, and for three, she loves Ryou. Why should I make a fool of myself if I all ready know whats going to happen?" He sighed, "And tell me, why should I care?"
"Cause I know for a fact," Elle said, "That she likes you." Raziel laughed mockingly, "Gee sis, thanks." Elle scowled.
"Well, she can't have both of them." Faith said, "She's gotta choose."
Raz looked up at Faith, "And who, exactly, do you think she'll choose, Fai?"
"Well…um…" Faith looked at the ground, "I don't know…"
"Exactly"
~*~In the room~*~
Shay had her arms wrapped around Ryou's neck, "Ryou, I'm sorry, I am so, so sorry…"
"Shay, what are you talking about?" Shay pulled back from Ryou after his sentence.
"Well…" she bit her lip, "I…I'm the reason you were bit, Ry."
Ryou's eyes went wide, "W-What?" he stuttered.
"I was the reason you were bit…" Shay repeated. "Ryou…" she looked at the ground, "I've been lying to you…" There was an awkward silence.
"…I'm a vampire."
