As Ryou walked out into the cool autumn night's air, he thought about
what Joey said. Bakura also had no right to do what he did to you. Ryou
sighed. I know he had no right to do it, but I couldn't do anything. I
even tried to stop him but I was too weak. right? Did I really try my
hardest, or did I secretly want him to. rape me? Ryou gritted his teeth
and shook his head. NO! I didn't want that! Well, I did, but not like
that. I wanted my first time to be special. I wanted it to be with
someone I love. How could I want to lose my virginity to him, anyway?
Ryou sighed. He knew he shouldn't be thinking about this when Yuugi may be
dying in the hospital right now. Dying? Yuugi isn't dying, right?
At these thoughts Ryou quickened his pace. He gripped his coat closer to him when he realized how cold it really was. I should've brought gloves and a hat.
Ryou continued to walk at a brisk pace. The hospital was only three blocks away from where he was. Only three more blocks. You can make it, Ryou. Three more blocks. Three more blocks. Three more blocks. Two more blocks. Two more blocks. Two more blocks. Two more blocks. Two more blocks. One more block. One more block. One more block. One more block. One more block. One more block. Within ten minutes Ryou finally made it to the hospital. Before he stepped inside he looked up at the towering building. He wondered where Yuugi was and if Yuugi was okay.
Ding. As Ryou stepped inside the sensors on the doors went off. Ryou welcomed the warmth that was now invading his frozen skin. He slowly walked up to the woman behind the counter. She wore her hair in a bun with blue pants and a white shirt. The woman was skimming through a pile of papers on the counter desk. Ryou cleared his throat to get her attention.
The woman looked up from her papers to stare at Ryou. She watched Ryou for a couple of seconds before asking, "May I help you?"
"Uh, yes. Um, my friend Yuugi Mutou is here, and I-I'm not sure what f-floor he's on," Ryou stuttered under that watchful gaze.
"Let me check," she said before giving Ryou a suspicious look. Ryou waited as the woman grabbed a binder and looked through it. He saw her stop on a blue page and scan her bony finger along the different lines. Her finger stopped on a line as Ryou observed his surroundings. Three people occupied one of the benches that were lined up against the wall. The walls were white, but the floor was a blue tile. I've only been at this hospital once before, but that was because I was stabbed in my left arm. I found out my Yami was the one who stabbed me. He said it was a part of a plan to save me from my life. I realized later on that the only thing I needed saving from was him.
"Your friend is located on the sixth floor in room 287," said the woman without looking up at Ryou.
"Oh! Uh, thank you," Ryou said as he quickly walked towards the elevators. When he got in he pressed the button that had 6 on it and waited until the lift stopped. The doors opened with a ding and he stepped out of the elevators.
"Ryou!" yelled several voices as he made his way to his friends.
"What took ya so long?" asked his brunette friend, Tristan.
"I walked," Ryou simply answered.
"You walked fourteen blocks?" shrieked his other friend Tea.
"It's really not that long of a walk," Ryou whispered. I hate it when people act as if I can't take care of myself. Sure I've gotten hurt a couple of times, but look at Joey and Yuugi! Ryou flinched at his own thoughts. Don't think that about them! No one deserves that! Even Joey said that. Speaking of Joey. "Where's Joey?"
Ryou saw Tea and Tristan frown. "Over there." Tea pointed over to a chair. Sure enough Joey was there. He was hunched over with his face buried in his hands.
"It's been hard on him," whispered Tristan. "He's been crying this whole time while blaming himself for what happened to Yuugi. We've tried talking to him, but he just pushes us away."
Ryou wanted to ask the question that's been burning inside him ever since he thought about it. He just wasn't sure how to ask it. "Uh, Tristan, Tea?"
They both looked at Ryou with curious gazes.
"Uh, have the doctors said anything about you know?" Ryou knew they had no idea what he was talking about. "How do I say this? I-Is Yuugi going to-to, is Yuugi going to die?" he finally blurted out, a little too loud.
Tea and Tristan flinched at Ryou's question, and Joey looked looked up from his hands.
"Is he? Is Yuugi gonna die?" Ryou asked again in case the question didn't get through their heads the first time, although he knew it did.
Tea's eyes watered up and Tristan just stood there in silence.
"NO! NO! This can't be happening. THIS WON'T HAPPEN! I-I'll stop it from happening! I-I'LL SAVE HIM! Maybe I-I can trade places with him. Yuugi can't die," Ryou screamed as he dropped down to his knees. The tears wouldn't stop flowing down his pale cheeks. Why is this happening? All I wished was for everyone to be happy! Why? Why God? Why are you doing this?
Ryou couldn't stop his tears as he was kneeling on the floor. Tea, Tristan, and Joey just stayed in their spots watching Bakura. They knew this would happen; they didn't want it to but they knew it would come sooner or later. Better sooner right? Maybe Yuugi thought the same thing.
Ten minutes passed as Ryou still knelt on the floor crying. Tea, Tristan, and Joey were still rooted to their spots. Another five minutes passed before Ryou finally stopped. Although his tears stopped, he still continued to kneel on the ground with his head bowed.
"Excuse me. Are you Yuugi Mutou's family?" asked the Doctor that had given the tragic news earlier. Ryou stood up from the floor and looked at the Doctor. He was wearing a typical white coat while holding a small folder in his hands.
"No, we're just friends," answered Tea since no one else spoke.
"Where is Mr. Mutou's grandfather?" asked the Doctor.
"He's out of town on business. The lady downstairs called him to inform him of Yuugi's c-condition," Tea answered while on the verge of tears.
"Is Yuugi okay?" asked Joey after not speaking the whole time since Ryou came. He stood up from his chair and walked over to where the group was located.
"That's what I'm here to talk to you about," replied the Doctor. The whole group held their breaths as they awaited the Doctor's update. "It seems that Yuugi's ribs were broken worse than we thought. Not only are two of his ribs broken, but his sternum is broken also. We can operate on him but there is a huge chance that we could cause damage to his heart."
"So what you're saying is.?" questioned Joey.
"Yuugi Mutou will die within the hour."
At these thoughts Ryou quickened his pace. He gripped his coat closer to him when he realized how cold it really was. I should've brought gloves and a hat.
Ryou continued to walk at a brisk pace. The hospital was only three blocks away from where he was. Only three more blocks. You can make it, Ryou. Three more blocks. Three more blocks.
