.:Broken Wings, Shattered Dreams:.
Chapter 6
Another night here alone
Staring at the telephone
Willing you to make that call
To bring you back where you belong
"What did he say?" Malik asked eagerly as all the yamis and hikaris, minus Bakura, huddled in Ryou's living room discussing the previous day's conversation with Bakura. Yami and Yugi were sitting together in a rather large arm chair, Yugi half asleep in Yami's lap, while Marik and Malik were sitting side by side on the couch. Ryou was curled up on the floor, sleeping. He rarely did much else anymore.
Yami sighed and looked away, "Not much in between the cusses about me breaking his door."
Malik's heart practically fell as he looked back and forth between the two multi-colored-haired boys in front of him.
Marik spoke instead, "You're telling me he didn't say anything?"
"I never said that," Yami answered, "But what he did say didn't help much."
Yugi yawned and sat up, "He was crying though"
"Really?"
"Yup"
"I just don't know what's going through his head anymore. I know he loves Ryou. And Ryou loves him, I don't know how he can't see that. Sometimes he can be so blind. But then again so is Ryou. It's just so frustrating. I wish he would just come back and then everything would be just fine!!" Malik exasperated.
"Koi, you've got to remember this is a big deal for both of them. Ryou can't see clearly because of what Bakura did to him. Bakura doesn't feel he can come back after what he did to Ryou," Marik said.
"Hold on a second…" Yugi started.
"What is it Yugi?"
"What do you mean by 'after what he did to Ryou'? You mean he did something else besides beat him?"
"Oh Ra"
"You didn't know?"
"Don't know what?!" this was starting to frustrate Yugi.
Malik didn't speak at first then he said softly, "That Bakura…raped Ryou"
It's been three hard months
Baby the longest nights
I need to hear your voice
And feel your soft skin by my side
Yugi's eyes grew big. Yami instantly stood up, causing Yugi to fall off his lap and hit the floor with a large crash. After everyone had fully comprehended what had just happened, Yami picked Yugi back up and set him back on his lap. But unfortunately the crash had woken Ryou.
"Hmmm…Bakura is that you?" Ryou said as he rubbed his eyes.
"Ryou" Malik whispered to the albino-haired boy, trying to catch his attention. As Ryou took in his surroundings, and finding Bakura not there, once again, he broke in to loud sobs.
"Ryou please calm down" Yami said loudly, not entirely sure the younger boy could here him over his own cries.
"Basobkursoba" Roy repeated over and over again.
We said things that we shouldn't have
I take back every word
Don't you know I can turn back time
It's only you and I that pay the price
"What should we do?" Yugi asked as he hugged his collapsed friend.
"I don't know if there's anything we can do" Yami said sadly.
Yugi looked up at him, his lavender eyes soft and filled with tears. As much as he wanted to change the expression in those eyes, Yami had simply no idea what to do. Yes Ryou was a wreck, no one could deny that. But there was no way of fixing that. Except one. Bakura. But Bakura wasn't coming back, even Yami felt it was time to give up on him. After learning the real reason Bakura had left, he had simply given up. Yami only hoped Ryou hadn't. Because if so, he was in grave danger. Unfortunately, Yami's hopes had failed him.
Baby come back to me
Remember how it used to be
Without you I'm incomplete
I feel the pain with every heartbeat
Ryou began to cough. Slow, breathless, coughs filled the gloomy living room. But it only got worse. Besides coughing, Ryou began to choke. No one understood what the boy was choking on, until a mouthful of blood hit the carpet.
Baby come back to me
Inside I'm dying piece by piece
Paradise is just out of reach
Baby won't you please come back to me
"Oh my Ra!" Yugi squealed.
Both Marik and Malik jumped up at once and hurried over to Ryou. Yami on the other hand stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"I'm going to call the hospital. Get Ryou a towel or something and get in the car." Yami said firmly, more so then he meant to. The three boys nodded in agreement. Marik lifted Ryou up as Malik ran towards the bathroom. Yugi's eyes however, followed Yami into the kitchen. And so did his feet.
The day that we said goodbye
No holding back the tears we've cried
Searching for the reasons why
We let this love just fade and die
Yami looked up as Yugi slowly walked into the kitchen. His eyes were filled with tears. At that moment all Yami wanted to do was hold the depressing boy in front of him, but he had other matters to deal with.
"Hello…..Hello?!" the voice on the other line repeated.
"Uh…yah, I have a friend who is in great need of service. He's very sick and at the moment, coughing up blood."
"Ok sir, where are you right now? I need to know where to send the ambulance."
"An ambulance wont be necessary, we're bringing him over right now."
"Ok sir, we will be waiting for you. We will try to do everything we can for your friend."
'That won't be enough' Yami thought. "Ok thank you we're on our way."
The line clicked off and Yami sighed,. He in turn put the receiver down.
"Yami…" Yugi stared but couldn't finish as Yami wrapped his arms around the smaller boy and kissed him. Yugi kissed back, never wanted that kiss to end. But it did almost as soon as it had begun. And Yugi didn't have time to mask his disappointment.
"Koi," Yami said turning Yugi's head towards him, "Ryou needs us now. More then he ever has before. And our own selfish desires can't get in the way. Especially now when Ryou is so close to breaking." He smiled softly.
Yugi sighed, "Your right Yami. I don't know what came over me. Lets go, Ryou needs us."
All the riches in the world,
All the diamonds and pearls
I'd give to send the winds of change to bring you back to me again
"Are you guys coming?!" Malik whined from the back seat of the car, "Its not like we have forever!"
"Good point Malik," Yami replied.
Yami climbed in the passengers seat next to Marik, while Yugi sat in the back with Malik and Ryou.
Besides the numerous moans and coughs from Ryou there was dead silence as the blue convertible drove at top speed to the hospital.
Oh say that we can heal this pain
Turn the spark into flame
I know that we can bring it back again
So baby please can't you see I'm down on my knees
"Damnit!!!" Bakura growled as he clutched his forehead. The pain that shot through it was unlike anything he'd ever felt before. And that was saying a lot. He tried to stand up but failed miserably. Instead he crashed onto the floor. More pain shot through him, but this time he could feel it everywhere. He tried desperately to open his eyes, but the pain was fogging his vision. So this was how it was going to be. He couldn't move. He couldn't see. He could barely think clearly. And he missed Ryou more then ever. His eyes shot open. "Ryou" He, Bakura wasn't in pain. Ryou was. He could feel it so clearly now. If he was feeling this bad, Ryou must be in a living hell. This was all his fault. Once again everything was all his fault. He was selfish. So incredibly selfish. He had used Ryou for his own selfish needs. And then he left him, because he thought it was best, best for both of them. But Ryou was practically dead now. 'It couldn't be…' he thought, 'there's no way he really…really needs me. It doesn't make sense. How could he? After all I've done…There-there's no way. Its not true. But then why is this happening?' All his thoughts seemed to click. Ryou did need him. Ryou had always need him. Yami. Yugi. Malik. Marik. They had all been right. And once again he was too selfish to believe it. He didn't want to believe it. Cause he felt if he did believe that Ryou needed him, then he would find out that he had been wrong, and he couldn't handle rejection. Especially from Ryou. But even if Ryou rejected him, he had to tell him. Bakura needed Ryou to know how he felt. It would be the hardest thing he had ever done. But he was willing to do it, for Ryou. To save Ryou. His head seemed to have finally stopped spinning and the pain had reasonably dropped. He hoped that was for the best. Grabbing his keys he flung open the door and ran to his car.
You're in every
Every dream I dream baby
You're in every
Every breath I breathe baby
It seemed like he reached Ryou's house in no time. Correction their house, or at least it use to be. Maybe that was because he almost killed everyone on the highway but none the less he was here and that's what mattered. He took a deep breathe and looked back to where he had once lived. It looked deserted. 'That's strange' he thought. 'Why wouldn't Ryou be home? Why wouldn't someone be with him? His friends knew of Ryou's condition so why weren't they there to help him?!' Bakura gripped the steering wheel so hard, he thought it might break in half. He desperately tried to concentrate on Ryou. He had to find out where he was. He could hear him crying. He could feel him bleeding. 'But where was he?' He squeezed his eyes shut to try to help him concentrate more. He could almost see it. He could see a few faint blurs. He couldn't tell if it was the mind link or Ryou's tears that was making his vision blurry. Luckily the blurs soon turned in to several shapes. Four to be exact. And there were more coming. Ryou was being lifted, and…who's arms were those?
"Pharoh" Bakura whispered his eyes still tightly shut. He could see Malik, Marik, and Yugi too. There were other people crowding them too. Nurses it looked like…That was it. Ryou was at the hospital. Bakura shoved the key back in the ignition and swerved the car around. If he didn't make it in time, Ryou would be gone, forever.
This time will last forever
Give it all a try
Each and every day I pray
Oh yes I pray
Please come baby
Kenny: woohoo another one done! I'm excited! Aren't you?
Bakura: Not really…
Ryou: Hey!! smack I'm almost dead
Bakrua: Oh right. rubs cheek Hey why do I have to be the bastard?!
Malik: snickering I dunno Bakura, but the story is pretty realistic
Bakura: growls Your kidding?!
Marik: He's right Bakura
Bakura: angry YOU TWO ARE GONNA DIE
Malik and Marik: OO
Kenny: Oo ermm hey guys?
Bakura, Marik, and Malik: WHAT?!
Kenny: cringes Well…its just we still have a few more chapters and…
Yami: She wants you to shut-up
Bakura: We will see who's going to be shut up soon!
Kenny: uh-oh well we gotta go now everyone starts fighting oh dear Bakura! Yami! Oo wow I didn't no that was possible…something breaks Ok see ya next time bubye!
Malik & Marik: Finally!
Bakura: Took you long enough
