A/N Do I still have reviewers out there? ^_^;; I am SO sorry this
chapter took me a long time...I just needed a while to sort things out with
school and fanart and such. I was really afraid if I took you long, you
guys would lose interest and stop reading. U_U Anyway, without further
annoying comments from me, here's the next chapter.
Please read and review.
~*~Chapter 12~*~
~*~ Everybody's got somethin'
They had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday
That just seems to grow with time~*~
Bakura and Ryou stepped into the dimly lit hospital room, a steady silence settling in between the two white-haired teens. Yugi lay on the bed, the white sheets wrapped around his thin, frail body as if they were a tangible barrier between this world and the next. Ryou could barely detect the shallow breathing coming from his little friend who looked, now, more deathly pale than ever before.
".....hey.....Yugi....." Ryou said quietly, looking through sad eyes at the tri-color haired boy. For the first time, Ryou was scared...
Maybe we should come back later....." Bakura said softly. Although he wasn't very close to Yugi, he was beginning to feel as if he were losing something to....so much had happened...since that day weeks ago...
Funny how little things can make the biggest difference in your life...
Ryou frowned slightly, shaking his head. "I want to stay a little bit longer." There were faint tracks of tears still stained on Yugi's face...
The two remained in silence, watching over the unconscious boy. Both were thinking the same thing, but would never say it aloud...thinking about the fate of the ill youth that lay before them.
Ryou finally broke, burying his face into his hands. It was killing him to see Yugi like this. His best friend was lying there, awaiting death... and all Ryou could do was SIT there.
Bakura was about to say something when, suddenly, the heart moniter near Yugi's bed gave one loud, continuous beep, startling both boys.
"Oh my god! YUGI!"
The undulating red waves on the machine had stopped, being replaced by a steady red line.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
The shallow breathing had stopped.
~*~There's no use lookin' back or wonderin'
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways
To let you go~*~
***
Sugoroku stared at the old, worn out book Yugi had given him from two days ago. He had said it was for Yami. The frayed edges of the cover and the bent pages inside merely added to its archaic appearance. But somehow, the elderly man knew that this gift was not what it appeared to be..that, somehow, there was something special about it.
'But don't give it to him...until after...' Yugi had said, looking up at his grandpa with pleading eyes.
And he had obliged to his grandson's wishes...
Sugoroku turned the book over in his hands, the gilded lettering catching the light as his curiosity peaked. He quickly flipped through the pages as a small envelope fell from the book onto the floor.
The elderly man bent over to pick up the letter and stared at it for a moment. He then replaced the envelope with a sigh, opening his desk drawer to put the book away.
***
Two nurses burst into the room, rushing to Yugi's side, completely ignoring the two startled teens.
"...is...is Y-yugi gonna be ok?........." Ryou stuttered dumbly, sheer panic starting to flood his mind.
One nurse stopped to give Ryou a pitying look while the other continued to ignore him, checking the heart moniter to her watch. The seconds ticked by in silence and still, there was no change.
Bakura didn't know what he was doing; it was instinct. He suddenly bolted from the room with one thought on his mind...
Ryou watched Bakura leave, somehow knowing where he was going. He turned back to where the two nurses surrounded Yugi.
One nurse gave a worried look to the other...
Ryou began to cry.
~*~I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby ~*~
***
Bakura drove towards Yami's house, breaking at least three traffic laws on the way there. His mind was blank except for one thing standing out: Yugi needed Yami. The white-haired teen hit the breaks as soon as Yami's house came into view, the tires skidding along the pavement in a 180 degree turn.
He rushed up to the front door, violently ringing the doorbell.
Upstairs, Yami jerked up from his position on the bed. He buried his hands into the blankets again, ignoring the ringing. 'Go away....'
Bakura growled in frustration, pounding on the door. "YAMI!"
Yami didn't move.
"YAMI!"
Silence.
"YAMI! PLEASE! IT'S...IT'S YUGI..."
The tri-color haired teen straightened up. 'Yugi?'
~*~I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter
Where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you~*~
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try
I just can't say goodbye
A/N That was short. -_- Im sorry. I need a break from SAT prepping and C1's. But I'll probably update really soon since its winter break. Please review? They always mean so much to me, even if all you say is "Update soon."
Please read and review.
