Forever Fallen
Okay people, this chapter is the big turning point in my story. Not long now until the end. This chapter is also named, and I believe the name to be very fitting. And -puts up a shield- I know that at the end of this, I'll be pelted with rotten fruit so enjoy chapter Eight!
Chapter Eight - Beginning the End to Thrive on the Past
Yugi decided against holding the party after he found out that Ryou passed out again. They had decided to move Ryou down stairs on the couch, so that someone could keep an eye on him at all times. With every passing hour Ryou's condition was growing worse and worse. Yami was insisting that Ryou be taken to the hospital, but Bakura wouldn't listen to him.
"Come on Tomb Robber, just look at him! He hasn't eaten in two days, and he barely drinks. He waisting away on nothing and for no reason! You -NEED- to take him to the hospital!" Yami growled, watching Bakura clean up the blood Ryou had just thrown up on the floor.
"He's not going to a hospital, Pharaoh and thats final!" Bakura argued deftly, not even glancing up at Yami as he spoke.
Yami was angry. No, he was beyond angry. "BAKURA! Your hikari is not getting any better! His breathing falters when he sleeps at night, and in the day his heart will skip a beat- or two. He needs to go to the hospital!"
"The hospital won't be able to do anything for him, Pharaoh! They won't know how to treat this!" Bakura yelled angrily, now standing up to glare at Yami.
The former pharaoh of ancient egypt snarled and stalked out of the house, and down the street. He had to think of something to help the white-haired youth. He refused to just stand back and watch Ryou die. As he was walking it began to get darker, and there was a distant rumble of thunder. Yami ignored it and continued to walk quickly, just needing to get away from Bakura. The other yami didn't help him think clearly at all.
Yami suddenly frose when he heard something. It sounded like two people arguing. What caught his attention though was the names that were being spoken.
"I can't do this, you know I can't. Ryou will die, and it'll be all my fault... you don't know how bad this feels for me!"
"Smarten up, Marik! You want Bakura to die, am I right?"
"Yes, I want Bakura to die but I don't want Ryou to die with him! Ryou didn't do anything to deserve this!"
"The only way to kill the yami is to kill the hikari. There can be no darkness without light. Get it?"
"What about me then, huh Keith? What am I then?"
"You, Marik, you ate your hikari's soul. Malik still lives in a distant part of your mind, too weak to fight you. He's given you complete control of the body.You are the light, and you are the dark."
Yami couldn't listen any longer. Marik and Keith were working together to kill Ryou, which would in turn kill Bakura. Yami ran back to the game shop as fast as possible, somehow managing to get there before it started to rain.
"Bakura!" Yami called as he entered the house. He walked into the living room and saw Bakura sitting on the couch, with Ryou in his lap. Bakura was rocking Ryou slowly back and forth, singing softly in arabic. When Yami came in Bakura looked up and Ryou opened his eyes. "Bakura, we have to talk."
"Its too late to talk, Pharaoh," Bakura said sadly, and kissed the side of Ryou's neck. Ryou whimpered and closed his eyes again.
"What do you mean too late, Bakura? Tell me what's going on!" Yami demanded, sitting on the leather loveseat.
Bakura sighed and blinked back tears. "Marik cut Ryou's chest the other night and poisoned him. The poison only started taking effect a few days ago."
Yami frowned. "Well, I'm sure the hospital has an antidote for it."
"They don't," Ryou whispered weakly. It was so quiet that Yami had to move closer to hear him. "The poison is made from a mixture of black widow poison, pure oxygen, liquified carbon monoxide and acid rain. It is a slow working but very fatal poison."
"So, so you're saying that there is no cure?" Yami asked, a horrified look on his face. Ryou nodded.
"You see?" Bakura said quietly, closing his eyes as a single tear slid down his cheek. "If I take Ryou to the hospital, anything they try to do to help him will only speed up the poison, and worsen his suffering."
Yami frowned and said nothing more. Ryou was doomed, all because Marik wanted to kill Bakura.
"There is... one cure..." Ryou whispered, opening his eyes again to lick the tear off Bakura's chin. That caused Bakura to also open his eyes and kiss Ryou's forehead.
"What is it Ryou? I'll try and get it for you." Yami said, prepared to do anything to keep Ryou alive. Bakura's forlorn look made him wonder though.
"It is too difficult, and there is not enough time." Bakura said sadly. "There is a mixture that can be created of many different things, and it needs four days to boil and one day to set."
"Tell me what it needs. I will save you Ryou." Yami said, determined to save the albino hikari.
Bakura smiled at Yami. "I need your help, Pharaoh, to save Ryou. I will write up the things you need, and I think we may need Kaiba to help too. Some of the things are expencive."
"I will help if I can. What else can I do?"
Ryou also smiled, but he was losing consciousness. "Thank you Yami.... and... 'Kura...."
"Yami? A big part of the mixture is blood. My blood, to be exact. You will need to watch over and care for Ryou when I can't."
Yami nodded and stood up again. "I will tell Yugi, and we will both help you to save Ryou's life."
"Thank you, Pharaoh," Bakura said quietly, still slowly rocking Ryou back and forth as he slept. "I guess you aren't as big an asshole as I thought you were."
"I can say the same about you, Tomb Robber."
Bakura's eyes widened when Ryou started to cough up blood "Ryou! Ryou wake up!" The hikari groaned softly and opened his eyes but soon passed out again.. Bakura whiped the blood off Ryou's chin and looked up at Yami. "Get me some paper and a pen, Pharaoh. I'm going to write down what you need to get for the cure."
