A/N: Oh Kathy-Sama, you silly Nee-San. _;;; Sorry it took me a while to update. I dunno what I'm gonna do for my anniversary, but I suddenly have a feeling we aren't reaching Chapter 20 by the 15th. XD We'll get over it. First part is in Weevil's P.O.V, second in Ryou's. Have fun y'all. .

Sitting up, I panted heavily, looking around. White...Everything was white...Paler than the white's of someone's eyes. My vision still temporarily blurred from my lack of glasses, and morning exhaustion, I stared at the person hovering over me.
The same person who'd saved me...I...Couldn't believe it. But...I thought...? I thought she was dead?!
Yeah...It was my Mother. The blue eyes that she passed down to Weira, and the minty-blue hair she passed down to the both of us. Tilting her head slightly, the figurine of my Mother leant over me, her eyes wide and curious. "Weevil? Are you okay?"
I thought I was gonna black out again. It's been so long, I'm not sure if it's my Mother anymore. Reaching a grabbing my glasses from the side of the bed, I forced them over my eyes, reaching out to touch her cheek.
"Weeeevil. Earth to Weevil! Don't touch me, you weirdo!" I blinked, and slowly, the image of my Mother faded away, and was replaced by Rex. He slapped my hand away and I winced, pouting slightly.
Was it just my imagination? I swear, she seemed so real...I thought that she was back to protect us..."I'm taking it you're feeling better, sleepyhead?"
His hand was wrapped up in a sling, which was all ready decorated with drawings of Duel Monsters - Dinosaurs, rather. "Yeah...Much. What about you?"
"I think the doctor's gave him too many pain killer's, personally," I looked to the door and saw Joey and Yugi there, Joey grinning like the idiot we know he is, Yugi just smiling.
Walking over to the side of my bed, Joey frowned at me, which kinda made me nervous. "Hey, you guys mind if I talk to Bug-Boy alone?"
"Joey, if he comes out any more messed up than he all ready is, you better be ready to put 'em up! This cast is heavy, y'know!"
Yugi laughed and pulled Rex out of the room with his good arm. "Joey, don't hurt him, okay?!"
"Yeah, right," I stared up at him nervously as he muttered those words and closed the door as much as it would close, turning his darkening glare at me. He pulled a chair up to the side of the bed, sitting down with his glare planted firmly on nothing, and no one, but me.
"Where do I start? Well, Weev, I saw 'dat video. The one's of you in the questioning room, AND in the waiting room, what the HELL were you thinking?"
I stared at him, dumbfounded for a moment. "Uh..."
"You have a little sister Weevil, you coulda gotten shot, or hurt or worse. Whether you woulda been fine dyin' or not, what about Weira?! How d'you think she'd feel if her only family died?!"
"I...I..." What was I thinking?
"Spit it out Weevil. What the hell were you smoking when you made the decision to play Hero. You could've saved Rex without risking your own life, you damn-well know that. So? What were you thinking?"
"...I...I...Don't....Know."

Sitting up and panting heavily, my eyes widened. I looked around the room. My room. Everything was clean, everything was in order.
Looking beside me, I looked at the sleeping child, laying on her stomach, the blanket pulled up to the back of her neck. Tossing my legs over the side of his bed, I froze as I heard footsteps, and the shadows of three figures down on the ground, their shadows advancing.
Pulling my hands into tight fists, I nearly jumped out of my skin as Serenity, Tristan, and Duke rounded the corner, waving at me when they noticed I was conscious. "Hey, Ryou," Serenity walked over to the bed to me and gazed lovingly at Weira. "She's so cute! I can't believe how good you are with kids Ryou! The lady told me what happened!"
"Lady?" I rubbed my head, an instantly the vision of the blue-haired woman overtook my vision. "What'd she say?"
"She said that Weira was playing by the window, and she started falling out, and that you got right after her and caught her, then landed on the ground. She said you and Weira were okay, and then she left."
"Did she say where to?!" My eyes widened. If this was real, then...
Turning to Weira, I pulled her into my arms, not even able to see the scar of the slice through her cheek.
"No, she just left."
Serenity brushed a strand of hair behind her ears, smiling. "She's completely adorable. I can't believe you babysat her, I think that's adorable."
A bunch of muffled 'I babysit!'s' escaped Tristan and Duke, while they fought for attention. Serenity giggled, and cradled Weira into her arms as she began to stir. In return, the small child wrapped her arms around Serenity's neck drowsily. "When's Weevil coming back?"
"I...Don't know. Soon, I hope. I mean, it's not like him to procrastinate on something, especially when Weira's waiting." Standing up and reaching into my jeans to pull out a $20 bill, I looked up. "I don't suppose the police station is that far away, is-" The phone rang, and I quickly turned the Caller I.D to me. Domin City Hsptl. Domino City Hospital...Who in the bloody hell?
Reaching and answering the phone, I yawned slightly and quickly requested Tristan, Duke and Serenity for one moment to answer the phone. "Bakura Residence, Ryou speaking."
"Hey Ryou! How's Weira?"
"Rex? She's fine, why? Wait, why are you guys at the hospital? Is everyone all right?"
"Well, I had a bullet rip straight through the nerves and tissues in my hand, so I've been better, and Weevil blacked out at the Police Station, but other than that, everything's all right. Joey and Weevil are talking now."
"Bullet?"
"I'd have to tell you some other time. We kinda need a ride though, *SOMEONE*," I heard him pull the phone away from his cheek and mumble something about Joey. "Used all the money we had for a taxi."
"I can't possibly fit that many people into a taxi..." Biting my lip, I looked at the group, unsure of what to do.
"It's only - Well, yeah, a lot, but I think the driver'll let two, maybe three of us in the front. It's just you, me, Weevil, Joey, Yugi, Yugi's Grandpa, and Weira who'll sit on Weevil's lap."
"You, me, Weevil, Yugi, Yugi's Grandpa, Weira and Joey...And Serenity, Duke and Tristan."
"What? What're they doing there?"
"Long story. Just..." Pausing, I bit my lip and looked back at Duke, pulling the phone from my ear. "Hey Duke, can you call a limo to come pick us up and drive us to Domino Hospital?"
He darted his eyes from Serenity, to his cell phone, to Tristan, and back to me, feigning a smile. "Sure! Anything to help out a friend!"
"Oh! Duke, thanks!" Serenity smile sweetly. "Is my big brother available?"
"I don't think so. I think Rex said he was talking with Weevil."
"Okay."
Pulling the phone back up to my hear, I winced, hearing Rex sing a random nothing at the top of his lungs. "Rex?"
"...Uh...Yeah?"
"We're coming over now, okay?"
"Kay."
I hung up the phone, and began to lead the group towards the room to exit the room.
Then suddenly, we heard it.
The heavy footsteps of someone coming up the stairs, quickly, inching closer and closer every second.

Rika: I had fun writing this Chapter. It wasn't too short, not too long (To me, anyways...) And I know we probably won't reach Chapter 20 by the 15th, unless I work doubletime on the Chappies during the Weekend, but...THAT'S OKAY!

Rex: You didn't sell them, you swiped 20 dollars from me and gave me the box.
Rika: Uhhhh...Next review.
Weevil'sGirl - Dun feel bad, we all luff him. ^.^ We all have a sick nerd fetish, all though I've seen some picture of him as Kawaii-Ness. ^.~ I have no clue what Goolash is, so I'll pretend I do to sound smart. XD. I'm always continuing this story, in all truth, no story has an end. A story is an ever-lasting thing, which is carried on through the ages. Remember that all stories are good ones until they begin. Hehe. ^^; Stupid lecture-complex.
Weevil: Wow, Kathy-Sama reviewed.
Rika: Uh-Oh. o_o; *Gulp* Nee-San.

*Watches Nee-San randomly beat self up* If I had any moral conscience whatsoever, I would tell you it's okay, but this is to entertaining, and I don't. X] I'm so horrible. *Hit Buddy with pop* BOO-YAH! STUPID CAT! Nee-San. o_o; I can move back into your closet. I'm not allergic to Cats anymore, I spent the weekend over a friend's house, and her cat attacked me, and nothing happened...o_O; Aaron - I'm her little sister, she won't do that. ^^; You still have to eat that friggin' rose. And stop living under her bed, I wanna have John move under there. O_O;! Wow. Interesting. Um...
Weira: ^_^ We've gotta go do abslutely nothing! *Waves cutely* Bye!
Rika: That's right folks! We're off to skip randomly and scare old people! See you soon! Ja!
