Trial By Cards
Another chapter, I can't wait until I get to the party which will be soon. As always I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh so please don't sue. This was written about 5 months ago and I'm finally getting it up.
Chapter 22: I Hate Hospitals
" Keora," said Ryou as he looked at her.
" Yes?" asked Keora her voice still weak.
" I'm sorry," whispered Ryou.
" About what?" asked Keora, raising her eyebrows.
" That I called out to you," said Ryou adverting his gaze.
" Don't be," said Keora and slowly pushed herself into a sitting position and then got out of bed which was obviously painful.
" Keora you should stay in bed," said Ryou, but all Keora did was smile.
" I hate hospitals," said Keora, but smiled and climbed into Ryou's bed and lay next to him.
" Uh Keora, what are you doing?" asked Ryou.
" It's cold," said Keora simply.
" Keora we'll get in trouble," said Ryou.
" With who?" asked Keora.
" With Bakura and Seto," said Ryou and Keora just smiled and snuggled closer to him.
" I don't care," said Keora quietly and drifted off to sleep.
" Well OK, I guess," thought Ryou and drifted off to sleep himself.
" Uh, mom, I think we may have a problem," said Ali as she walked into Ryou and Keora's room and then stepped out as fast as she stepped in.
" What's wrong?" asked Yama as she walked in and then noticed Keora and Ryou and just smiled. " I don't see a problem."
" MOM! This is a hospital, they need to be in separate beds," said Ali.
" Keora got cold, don't worry they won't do anything," said Yama.
" Yeah, but Bakura and Seto sure will," said Yami quietly from where he stood next to them.
" I'll do what?" asked Bakura as he rolled up in his wheelchair and looked at Ryou and Keora and just raised his eyebrows.
" Tomb Robber, aren't you going to do anything?" asked Yami.
" No Pharaoh, I'm not going to spoil this relationship," said Bakura and rolled back into his room.
" OK I want to know what happened to him," said Yami.
" He's had a change of heart," said Yama simply.
" Keora get out of bed with that street rat!" shouted Seto and everyone turned to face him.
" Ryou is not a street rat," said Keora quietly as she got out of the bed and walked up to her brother. " I'm the street rat brother." Everyone gasped as they stared at the 13 year old Kaiba. " So are you, and all of us, we've had it hard and Ryou understands that." Keora glared at Seto weakly with her two tone eyes.
" Take that back," hisses Seto as he stared at Keora.
" She's right you know," said Anatsu from where she stood behind Seto.
" Who're you?" asked Seto harshly. Anatsu didn't even flinch, she just kept watching the CEO.
" My name's Anatsu Dakiana," said Anatsu and suddenly disappeared. Seto huffed off to his room, wondering what the world was coming to.
" Keora get back in YOUR bed," said Seto before he closed the door to his room. Keora just sighed and shook her head and crawled back into bed with Ryou.
" Keora you should listen to your brother," whispered Ryou.
" Did you hear that?" asked Keora.
" Yes," said Ryou and a tear trickled down Keora's face and she hugged him.
" I love you Ryou," whispered Keora.
" I know Keora," said Ryou, but Keora shook her head.
" I don't think you do Ryou," said Keora and looked at him. " I know that Bakura beat you." Ryou's eyes went wide as he stared at her.
" How?" asked Ryou as his eyes went wider. Keora touched his heart and took his hand and placed it on her own heart.
" I just knew," said Keora. Keora drew up one of her shirt sleeves and revealed a scar about half a foot long running from her shoulder and down.
" How did you get that?" asked Ryou.
" People at the orphanage beat me," said Keora quietly. She then drew up one of Ryou's shirt sleeves and revealed cuts and scars. The Millennium Ring shimmered. " You can hide them?" Ryou nods and Keora sighs.
" Bakura," said Ryou quietly and Keora nodded.
" We've both had it hard and we both understand each other. I don't know how Seto can't see that," said Keora.
" He's afraid of losing you," said Yami quietly as he walked in and rested his arms on the bed bar.
" How do you know?" asked Keora.
" You tell me," said Yami.
" You just know," said Keora and looked at Yami.
" How's Mokuba?" asked Ryou.
" He's fine. I traded rooms with him cause Joey went back to sleep and keeps talking," said Yami.
" So Mokuba, Maku, and Bakura are now in one room," said Keora. Seto had requested his own room and had gotten it.
" Yes, and I actually think Bakura has taken a liking to your little brother," said Yami. " Oh and we're getting out tomorrow."
" Good this place is way to quiet," said Keora and Ryou nodded.
" I know what you mean," said a voice from the door. There stood Cynara holding the Jump 5 cd and her cd player.
" Don't tell me you're going to play that," said Yami his eyes looking in amazement at Cynara. Cynara nodded and plugged the cd player in and started to play the cd. Keora smiled and got out of bed as she heard 'Spinning Around'. Ryou blinked as he saw Keora's antics and then just sighed. It was obvious that he was not in the mood to dance or get in trouble.
" Hey turn it back on!" shouted Keora as someone turned the cd player off. There in the hallway stood Tut and he had Amara in a head look, he also had Mokuba held tightly at his side. Everyone's eyes widened, but all Keora did was smirk. " Put my brother down."
" No," said Tut sneering at the injured teen. Tut looked around trying to make sure that no one was going to sneak up on him, but that gave Yami and Keora the chance they needed.
" Let go," hissed Keora as she grabbed the Staff out of Amara's hands. Amara growled and then watched Keora as she took the metal staff and brought it down on Tut's foot.
" Bi. . ." said Tut, but never finished his statement, because at that moment none other then Anatsu and Ashery has appeared. The two had taken in the situation and had attacked him both in their own way. Ashery had produced two poles and had hit him over the head with them and Anatsu had knocked his feet out from under him. Keora blinked and looked at the two and then started to fall, but was caught by Yami.
" Stop playing super hero," said Yami as he helped her to bed. Keora nodded and drifted off into a listless sleep. Yami bowed to Anatsu and Ashery and smiled. " Thank you for your assistance." Ashery just waved her hand in her own way saying it was nothing. Anatsu nodded and disappeared her Millennium Dagger at her side.
" Why does she persist in playing hero?" asked Ryou to Yami. Yami raised his shoulders and looked at the girl.
" Because she loves all of us," said Yami. He knew there was another reason, but he didn't want to worry Ryou.
" Yes, and I don't deserve such a girl," said Ryou. Yami winked at Ryou and smiled a bit.
" Look at me. I got Yama," said Yami. Ryou laughed slightly and looked at the ancient Pharaoh.
" Yes, and look at poor Malik. He got Amara," said Ryou lightly.
" What's so bad about little ole me?" asked Amara as she walked in and grabbed her staff out of Yami's hands. " Thank you." Amara then after coming for her item disappeared.
" Where'd she go?" asked Ryou.
" To sleep, its been a long day," said a voice in his head. Ryou looked at Keora and smiled slightly.
" Yes, my Keora it has been," thought Ryou.
" It's Keora, just Keora," said the voice as Ryou dozed off to sleep.
" Until, death do us part," whispered the voice and Keora's voice moved with the voice.
" Yes, until death do us part my Ryou and not even that my love," said Keora and opened her eyes slightly and then again seeing that everything was OK drifted off to sleep.
I hope you enjoyed that chapter. This ending most likely didn't make sense to you, it did to me cause I'm the author, maybe in the future of this story to it will. R+R please.
