My story is almost over!!! I feel so bad for you all.... thou shalt never
have thy way! I put more action in this chapter, for those of you that were
annoyed because last chapter was ENTIRELY a conversation. And I hope this
chapter is a little longer then the last few too! I'm really bad at writing
long chapters! I make more chapters but they are short, how's that sound
for ya?
Chapter NINE
Yami stared at the list of ingrediants Bakura had given him.
"Three clear-cut emerelds? One pure ruby? Two sheets of 7X10 glass? FIVE gallons of salt water? Three litres of blood... two cups of baking soda and two packets of strawberry jello... what kind of list is this? TOMB ROBBER!"
Bakura glared at him. "Keep your voice down, pharaoh! Ryou's sleeping!" He was laying on the couch, Ryou was laying practically on top of him and Arctica was sleeping on the back of the couch. "Yes, those are supposed to be on that list. Its a very strange list, but everything is necessary."
"One cup of chocolate chips, a tablespoon of road salt... three duck eggs, seventeen tulip petals and 70 rose thorns? Lets see here.... white cat hair?"
"Arctica can supply that for us." Bakura said sadly, looking up at the sleeping kitten. She looked so peaceful in her sleep, as if she understood Ryou's pain.
"Poor cat. ...blue nail polish?"
Bakura sighed. "Everything on that list is there for a reason, Pharaoh. Stop questioning things."
Yami frowned and stopped reading the list. He needed to contact Kaiba, or he would never be able to get some of the more expencive things on the list. Bakura read his mind.
"Actually, Pharaoh, watch Ryou for me." He carefully shifted Ryou onto the couch, while he himself got up and pulled on a jacket.
"Where are you going?"
"To get the supplies."
"Are you crazy?" Yami asked, watching Bakura cautiously. "You can't afford half the things on this list!"
Bakura smirked and stopped when he was half way out the door. "That's why I was a Tomb Robber in the past." With that, he was out the door. Yami sighed and went back to watch Ryou. Yugi came down from doing some homework and sat beside Yami, and both of them watched the dying albino.
~__!))!)@()+_~)(!!@#
Bakura ran down the street, thinking fast. He needed many expencive stones. It was the middle of the day, and he knew where some jewlery stores were. He stopped and, using shadow magic, produced a pair of shoes that made him three inches taller, he aquired a navy blue denim jacket instead of a green one, his skin appeared tan, his shirt was red and his pants were of black leather. His hair was suddenly bright, bright blue.
"Good enough!" Bakura laughed and ran into the jewlery store. People inside it gave him a funny look, then went back to their business. Bakura grabbed a knife and broke one of the glass cases, and took out three emereld rings and a ruby ring. Then he gathered the glass sheets and placed them in a leather back pack. By then, the people that were shoping were running out of the store, and the people that worked there were calling the police.
True to his nature, Bakura didn't stay long. He stole a few diamond rings while he was at it, a saphire necklace, some more rings and a few earings. When that was done, he ran as fast as possible and his hair changed from blue to green, his pants from black leather to white sweatpants, his jacket dissapeared and his shirt was blue. His skin was still lightly tanned.
His next stop was a common grocery store. He grabbed a cart and wheeled it down the isle, grabbing whatever he needed and then some. He wasn't paying for anything, so he made sure to grab lots of junk food as well as what he needed for Ryou's cure.
Bakura wheeled the cart to the check out place and the clerk ran everything through. When he asked Bakura how he would be paying for all the stuff, Bakura said he wouldn't and grabbed the bags and ran.
He had never done so many risky thefts before in his life. he usually took things only when he needed them, and at night using all his grand thieving abilities. But he didn't have time to take such caution. His hikari was dying and he needed the supplies and fast.
As he ran again, he let the shadow magiced clothes and appearance changes fade away. He became just Bakura again. However, Bakura was taking a shortcut back to the game shop and he suddenly froze when he heard a voice he knew only too well.
"I can't, Keith! I can't just let him die... I should have just destroyed the ring, that would have gotten rid of the tomb robber, but Ryou would live! He would live, and I would help him get over Bakura, and he would love me.... and he wouldn't die! But you told me the poison would work faster, and I tried it and Ryou's going to die Keith!:
Bakura snarled. It was Marik. And he was close. As he walked more sneakily, Bakura saw the Egyptian standing against the wall, talking into a cellphone. Marik saw Bakura and turned off the cellphone instantly.
"Tomb Robber. What a surprise." Marik said, completely emotionless.
"Grave Keeper. What a coincidence. The Tomb Robber always outsmarts the Grave Keeper. Ryou will live Marik. And since he will live, I will live too. But before There is any risk of my plan failing, I think you will die too." Bakura spoke in a dangerously low monotone, but one could hear the venomous edge in his voice.
"I'm sorry Bakura, but you are weaker since Ryou-koi is dying. I will defeat you easily, and erase any chance you have of coming up with a cure." Marik argued, drawing a knife.
Bakura smirked and drew his own knife. "Oh, I know I am weaker. But I am also a spirit in a sold body. I can become spirit again while you can not, because you are your own hikari, and you are your own yami. A wound on you will hurt ten times as much as a wound on me. I heal with my own little spirit powers. You are a mortal, Marik!"
The taunt worked. Marik struck first, and Bakura merely side-stepped and lashed out at Marik's unprotected back. It was a lame move, but an effective one. Marik gasped and fell to his knees, and Bakura ran. Not out of cowardice, dear readers, but because he felt faint suddenly. Ryou was slipping from life and Bakura needed to be closer, to help him.
*(798q749860740)*@&#()*&@$)(@&$)#*^$
Bakura ran through the door just in time. Yami had to use shadow magic to help Ryou hold on to life. Bakura dropped the backpack at the door and ran to his hikari, kneeling at his side.
"Ryou! Ryou hold on beloved, please hold on. I got the supplies Ryou! We're going to help you. Squirt, get a big bowl and a pen and paper. Give the pen and paper to me. Pharaoh, get a damp cloth for Ryou. Then stand by with measuring stuff while I tell you what to put in the cure and when. Start up something hot, it needs to boil for about four days and it needs one day to set. That's five days, okay? I need to help Ryou live for five days. Hurry, you two!" When Yami and Yugi hurried to do as Bakura said, Bakura grasped Ryou's cold hand and kissed it. "Hold on Ryou, hold on. We're going to save you. I'm not going to let you die."
Ryou opened his eyes and turned to look at Bakura. "Kura.... I love you..."

BWAHUAHAHAHAHAH
Am I EVIL or what? Actually, that seemed pretty timid to me. But what the hey, it was evil dammit! -dances- So, Here's the debate:
Should Ryou get the cure on time?
Or will it be too late for our poor bishie's heart?
Will Bakura be saved?
Or will he perish with his HIkari?
Answer me with your reviews, my dear readers! Only one or two more chapters to go!
