( My Angel Savior )
Chapter 2: Mindless Agony
By: Nadako-Mika

(( Bakura's P.O.V ))

Ah... So quiet, peaceful, and Hikari free. Usually there would be the sound of my Hikari wimpering in pain at this hour. But, since he's gone now, the house is quiet. Yes, quiet... I blink. Quiet...just quiet.. I blink again. Too quiet... What's that sound?! Oh...just a cricket. I mentally scold myself. I'm becoming paranoid...not good. I'm not use to this silence. I don't like it.

I push a button and that talking box- my Hikari calls it a television -flicks on. Ah...sound. The magic box is talking again. It's no longer quiet...that's good. I sink lower into the leather couch, just enjoying the non-quietness of the house. I blink at the magical talking box. There's a man in a ridiculous suit talking. He's talking about something... I think it's about taxes and stocks. What were those anyways? Hmph. Whatever it is it's boring. That man is just drawling on and on. How did that guy get into the box anyways? Hikari always says the box was for entertainment, and this surely isn't entertainment. I'm not liking the sound now... I think I prefer the quietness.

I'm bored. I need something to do. Now that Hikari's gone I have no one to bother. Naw, he wouldn't have been any fun anyways, what with him being insane and all. I wonder how he got that way. He was fine a few months ago. I shrug the thought off. Maybe I'll go and kill someone- or something. Yes, I think I will. Something needs to shed blood, and I want to be there to watch it. I'm sickening am I not?

Maybe I should drag Marik along with me. Hmm, should I bring both blonds? The last time I checked, they were both as evil as I was. I'll go and ask them. Wait! Must get weapons! I can't go killing things without weapons. Alright, so maybe I can. But having weapons make the job quicker, which means I have more time to relax.

I walk to the Isthar's residence. On the way I see a street hooker, winking suggestively at me. Ugh...sickening creatures. They have no self-respect. Hmm, the world would be a lot better if it were rid of those kind of people. Maybe we should go to a strip joint, pick up some girl, then murder her. Yes, I am sickening, I have a wicked mind!

"Answer the freaking door, Ishtar!" I holler. I don't think it's polite to leave a guest banging down the door for twenty freaking minutes. Hmph, I should just leave. At this rate I won't be able to make a kill!

"What the heck do you want?!" I hear a pissed voice call back, "It's two in the morning! Damn you!"

I blink stupidly as the door opened. There standing infront of me is Malik- In a nightgown?!

"Oh..It's only you, Bakura," He said with a yawn.

"Malik," a voice whined behind him, "Who the heck is it?"

I blink again as I see Marik, the spirit of the Sennen Rod, come up behind his hikari. He's wearing boxers, JUST boxers... I blink again.

"Tomb robber, what do you want?" He asked sounding a little peeved.

'What? did I interupt something?' I ask myself mentally. "I uh... wanted to ask you guys if you wanted to go on a rampage with me," as I ask this, I still stare and blink at them stupidly. Dang, can't Marik put something on? You wouldn't catch me answering the door with JUST boxers on.

"Are you crazy?" Malik asked, "It's two in the morning!"

I shrug at him. "Makes it easier to kill," I state simply.

"True," Marik said, "Eh, what the heck? Why not? I won't be able to get back to sleep anyways. What do you think Malik?"

"I guess we could. I haven't been able to use the dagger part of the rod for a while." he said. But he was about to step out when he said, "Uh...maybe we should get some decent clothes on."

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

I drag my unmoving feet into the house and up towards my room. I collapse on my bed. My clothes were soaked with blood. Damnit, why did Malik have to be so messy? We would probably be caught within a few days, if it hadn't been for Marik and I. After the bloody event, we had to transport all evidence to the Shadow Realm.

I yawn tiredly. Must clean things up in the morning. I don't really need to, but its just incase Ryou's pathetic 'friends' come over. Hm... wonder what Ryou's up to? He's probably dozed off- wait.. He's no longer living here. Sighing inwardly I soon fall asleep.

RA! What is that Horrible noise?! Someone's screaming! Jeeze, and just when I fell into a dream. What, or who, the hell is making that racket?! Wait, I unplug one of my ears and listen closely. That's Ryou's screaming, I'm sure of it. What tragedy is my hikari experiencing now?

I trudge sleepily towards my other's room. I was expecting to see my hikari, rolling in his bed, face contored with pain. But I was met with emptiness. His room was bare. That's right, he's gone now. I yawn, nothing to worry about. Nothing to worry about?! Heck, there's still that screaming voice in the house! I run through the house, trying to find the source of the noise. Nothing. No one or nothing was in this building. Everything was quiet, or so it seemed. I could still hear that scream!

It couldn't be Hikari, could it? No. I closed off our mind link a while back. But, then...What is it? I spend most of the night tossing and turning, trying to block out the horrid screaming. But it stuck to my head until the early dawn.

(( Normal P.O.V ))

A shrill scream ripped through the building. All the physicians and employees stop suddenly and turn their heads towards the east wing. The sound was terrible. The scream was filled with pain and anger.

"Who is that?!" One of the doctors screamed.

"We don't know!" a nurse answered equally as loud, "The person just came in this morning!"

A group of doctors and nurses rushed towards the sound, bringing tranquilizers, medication, or any other material that would help calm down the patient. They located the door that lead to the screaming patient. Quickly they slid open the large doors, and scrambled to the person. Sprawled out on his bed was a young male. His hair was as white as snow, and his skin was equally pale, though it was drenched with sweat. His chocolate brown eyes were wide open in fear, but unfocussed.

One of the higher ranked doctors rushed to the boy's side. He quickly checked the boy's temperature, and pulse.

"He's having a nightmare," the doctor explained quickly, "and he isn't able to wake up from it either. We need to get his mind to relax."

Another doctor took out a needle, filled with a type of tranquilizer. He injected it into the boy's pale skin, and the drug immediately began to take effect. Soon the boy lay still, and his screaming ceased. But his eyes were still filled with horror. Soon another drug was injected. It was supposedly to help the boy's mind rest. After a few minutes, the young patient was resting peacefully.

"Who was that?" the doctor asked.

"His name's Ryou Bakura," the secretary answered looking over stats, "He was brought in earlier today."

"What is his condition?"

"We're not quite sure. His brother says that he's been halucinating, and has been seen with severe bruising and cuts after each hallucination. It could be suicidal."

Again another horrid scream filled erupted from Ryou's room. It had been half an hour since the medication was given to him.

'The medicine shouldn't have worn off that quick.' the doctor thought as he rushed to the boy's room once again.

"Doctor Kihatensu," a nurse called out once the doctor entered the room, "The tranquilizer isn't effecting him! He won't stop moving!"

"Nothing is working on him!" another nurse stated, "No other medication will calm him down!"

"Are you sure?" Kihatensu asked.

"Postive."

"Then we'll have to bind him down," he walked over to the bedside. Dr. Kihatensu quickly ordered some people to hold Ryou down, as he applied the metal bands to stop the struggle of the boy. Soon the boy was safe from self-harm, but was still screaming in agony.

"What are we going to do about that screaming?" a frustrated employee asked.

"Do you think you could get a strong dose of this medicine here?" Kihatensu asked, handing a small bottle full of a blue liquid.

"Are you sure it will be safe to apply?"

"It's all that we've got left to try," Kihatensu answered, shaking his head slightly. Filling a needle with the liquid he applied it onto the screaming boy. Immediatly the substance took effect. Ryou's scream was cut off and he quickly lay limp. His eyes, though, were still open wide. The boy wasn't moving at all, except for the small rise and fall of his chest.

All the people in the room stood and watched him. All were relieved of the horrible screaming, but were worried to what the strong medication could have done to the boy. One by one they left the room, until the only person left in the room was Dr. Kihatensu.

"Oh Ryou," Kihatensu said suddenly, "I really wished I wouldn't have to see you here again. Now you've come back, and in an even worse condition." With that said he left the room, and silently shut the door behind him.
