Chapter 6
"Mara!?!" Amane screamed and dashed over to the cat. "Oh no! Mara! Listen to me, don't close your eyes, promise me! Mara- old on!" She yelled. Great thinking. A cat can actually speak and understand English. She looked at her watch then slammed her fist on the floor. If only she could drive she could run Mara over to the animal hospital. But she still didn't know how to drive. She could call the animal hospital- but they might not make it in time. Amane dashed to the phone, calling would be her only help. Mara looked like she was dying! Her fingers dialed quickly.
"Animal Hospital, how may I help-"
"Help! I- I don't know what to do! Ryou's cat is gagging and looks like it's dying- I don't know what to do! Please help! I don't know-" Amane started to sob. She couldn't just let Ryou's cat die. Ryou loved the cat! Even though Mara had hated her, she still felt like she needed to save the poor thing. "Please Ma'am, calm down-"
"CALM DOWN!? THIS DAMN CAT IS DYING!"
"Ma'am, are it's eyes red? Tell me, what does the situation look like?"
Amane ran back to Mara who was still lying on the floor clinging to life. "Um, okay, her eyes are red- there's spit and blood coming out from her mouth and she- oh god don't let her die!!! I- I don't know what to do- I'm so confused and at the same time scared for her! I can't get her over there because I can't drive- someone please help!"
"Alright, we are sending for medical services. They will be there shortly for your animal. Remain calm and approach it. Don't move her, for she might have inhaled something. The best you can do is keep her calm as well. Let the animal know you're there and that you love her."
"A-alright! I'll do that-Thankyou," Amane clicked the phone off and tossed it behind her. She crawled over to Mara and placed her hand on the cats back. Mara let out a screech and looked like she didn't want Amane to touch her. "Dammit! I'm trying to help you! I know you hate me, fine, but I won't let you die just like that you stupid cat! You mean a lot to Ryou and Dad, as well as me! So don't you die on us! Got that!?" She literally screamed at her. As if somehow Mara understood that, she let Amane stroke her soft fur.
"Don't close your eyes, please- don't give up, you have to hang on Mara."
Mara's eyes started to twitch and she made a huffing sound like she was about to vomit. She spit out more blood and saliva. Amane couldn't help but cry, but she continued to stroke Mara's back. "It's alright Mara, it's okay, just don't close your eyes. You can't leave us... you can't leave Ryou..." Mara continued to spit out more substances, her eyes growing heavier. Amane couldn't believe it. Why was this happening? What had Mara swallowed? How could anyone let an animal go through so much pain? So much misery? She couldn't bear to see the sight of Mara being in the condition she was in. "M-ma-mara- don't- don't give u-up, b-b-b-be a str-strong kitty- " She cried hysterically until a knock came on the door.
Amane leapt to her feet and sung the door open, face full of tears. "Please help my cat!!!" The men in uniforms nodded and ran into the house looking for the injured animal. They found Mara and put her in a small stretcher made specially for animals then carefully hurried back to the van. One of the men grabbed Amane's arm and motioned her to get inside the truck as well. She hurriedly got in along with the men and shut the door. The driver put the siren and red lights on and speeded down the street.
Ryou threw his jacket on the couch and walked over to the coffee table, seeing the red light on the answering machine blinking. He pushed the 'play' button, a beep came on.
Yatens voice: You've reached the Bakura residence-
Amane: Sorry we're not home but if you'll leave you-
*crashing and something fallen* Heygimmethat!Noway!Isaidgiveittome!!!
Ryou: name and number we'll be sure to-
Amane: Call you right back!
Yaten: Leave a message at the-
Amane: BEEP!
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
Ryou smiled. That was the message they had recorded together a long time ago. He and Amane had foughten over the phone, unfortunately Amane won. Next a message was being played.
"Hey this is Beeper John-"
Skip
"Hey this is Beeper John again!"
Skip
"This is still Beeper John-"
Skip
"This is STILL Beeper John-"
Skip
"Pick up the damn phone and I'll stop calling!"
Skip
"THISISBEEPERJOHN! PICK UP THE FUCKING PHONE! I'D PICK UP IF I WERE YOU, IF YOU DON'T PICK UP THE PHONE THEN I'M GOING TO POISEN YOUR DRINKING WATER AND MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL!!! PICK UP THE GOD DAMN PH-
bbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppppp
Ryou blinked. Uh, okay... beeper salesmen were really grouchy these days. Ryou thought for a while, rubbing his chin. He decided to record that message to a tape, 'heh heh, blackmail. Boy am I gonna sue you...heh.' He once again pushed the skip button, hoping it wasn't Beeper John again. But then again- if it was him and he left another message Ryou could sue him for more money! He pressed the play button. Amanes voice came on.
"Ryou!!! Oh god- someone- please pick up the phone! Please! It's Mara- someone pick up the phone! I had came home and found Mara on the floor gagging and vomiting and I could tell there was seriously something wrong with her- as soon as you get this message hurry to the Animal Hospital- I'm calling from there- and please hurry- I think Mara isn't going to-.... just hurry and get over here now!!!" Amane's voice shouted through the machine then there was a click, she had obviously hung up. Ryou grabbed his jacket and his dad's keys then ran out the door and into the driveway.
END MESSAGE
"HEY! YOUR STUPID MACHINE HUNG UP ON ME! AND I HAD TO WAIT 4 FUCKING MINUTES YOU LAME ASSHOLES! PICK UP THE PHONE! PICK UP THE FUCKING PHONE! PICK IT UP DAMMIT!"
Ryou jammed the key into the engine then turned it, the engine quickly turned on. Truth was, he didn't know how to drive but this was important and he couldn't wait for his dad to put his shoes back on. Yaten came running out of the house as soon as Ryou pulled out of the driveway. He waved his arms, shouting, "RYOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!" Obviously he hadn't heard the message Amane had left.
Ryou put the gear in drive and slammed his foot down on the petal, zooming all the way down the street and into the main road. He kept driving forward, he remembered seeing the hospital somewhere around here. He knew it was close to his house. After 14 minutes of searching, for what seemed like forever, he found it and tried turning the best he could. After actually making the turn (which had left black marks on the road) he was now in the parking lot. Now to stop the car. How did he do it? His dad made it look so easy! His mind was in such a hurry and scatter that he really didn't care so he ran it into a tree then got out of the car. His dad would be pissed at him later but he didn't care. He wanted- needed to see if Mara was going to be okay. He just had to.
Ryou slammed the front doors open and saw Amane pacing back and forth, biting her knuckles. She looked up and looked relieved that Ryou was there, she threw her arms open and they embraced each other in a hug. Amane sobbed onto Ryou shoulder, "Ryou- I'm sorry- I-"
"Is Mara going to be okay?!" He asked, she let go of him and looked him in the eye. "I- I don't know- Ryou- I was so scared! I was afraid- I didn't know what to do- she was just laying there- I knew how much you loved her so I had to get her help- please tell me if she's going to be okay!" She sobbed even harder, Ryou was shocked. He thought his sister hated Mara.
"Mara's strong- I know she'll be okay- I hope so..." Ryou said then fell to his knees, crying. "What happened to her?"
Amane placed her hand on his shoulder, "I don't know,"
"Miss Bakura, please follow me," A nurse said, Amane took Ryou's hand and followed her, taking him with her. They followed her into a small room where she picked up something from a table with tweezers. She held it, just as she showed it Amane felt a pang of guilt. It was like someone shot her with a gun. What the nurse held in her hand was one of the pills Bakura had given her.
Shocked, she sputtered. "No-..." This can't be happening! No!
"Can you tell me what this is!? Is this what I think it is? And by the looks of it, it looks like you are under age to even be thinking about trying these!" The nurse scolded at her, Amane still wouldn't answer her. Suddenly another person stepped into the room, Amane and Ryou turned to look at it. Embarrassed, Ryou covered his face with his hand, remembering current events that had taken place earlier.
A much older version of Ryou stood next to them and took the pill from the nurse, "Bakura-..." Amane was speechless. He put it in a small plastic bag and then placed it in his white coat. He glared at the nurse, "It's mine," He said, simply.
"Uh-"
"I was over at their house and I guess I dropped one of these." The nurse nodded, they all knew who Bakura was. But he had lied about his age and everyone had fallen for it. The nurse turned her attention over to Ryou and Amane, "Well then, now that the article has been removed, your 'Mara' is going to be okay. You can come pick her up tomorrow."
Ryou made a sigh of relief, Amane gazed up at Bakura in wonder. She took his arm and dragged him outside. "Okay. Two words. What the hell?"
"That was three," Bakura said, making Amane frustrated. He turned a light shade of pink. "Uh- yeah... I work here. And if word gets out to anyone in the school you'll be in deep shit,"
"Why would I tell? I think it's cute that you like to work with animals!" Amane smiled, Bakura frowned.
"Uh- yeah- actually, I put them to sleep,"
"You animalist!!! How dare you!" Amane hit him on the arm then grabbed Ryou who was attached to Mara. "Yeah yeah you'll see her tomorrow, she's alive, she's breathing, now come on. We don't spend time with people who kill animals for a living." Amane growled.
The two stepped outside, Amane sweat dropped while examining the car. "...Something tells me dad didn't come with you,"
