Din: Yayz! Lots Reviews! I ish very happy!! ^^ I'm glad you all like the chapter (Except for Ryou, that is). My projects and finals are almost done, so I might have more time to write and might update sooner. Yay!
Bakura: Why do I hang around you, anyways? I thought you were in depression.
Din: I am, but whenever I read the Reviews, I'm happy. ^^
Bakura: .....right...sure...keep telling yourself that...
Din: Okay, well, ignore my insane husband at the moment, but I need to ask yall a question...
--Does Anyone out there know Pharaoh Yami's Name? o_O It's NOT Yami or Yuugi, so don't even think that. I do know his name, And I just need to know if I'm the only person out there that knows or not. If you don't, and you want to know, ask in a review, and I'll get back to you!
OKayz, now, in response to your reviews....
@KuramaandHiei4ever: Don't worry, Don't worry. I would never kill off the main character! It's against my policy, you see.
@Katia-chan: Yes, I know, the last chapter was screwy, because I uploaded it on the wrong computer. That's fixed now! And thanks for your review!
@little-kat-girl: If there's any yaoi, it'll most likely be at the end. But it will be mentioned this chapter! And sure, you can hug Bakura ^^ I'll share.
@Senshichan14: Hm....I don't think it was Ryou's cutting OR Bakura....I think Ryou's just been cooking again ^^' You know...that CAN get ugly!
@Dark Magician Girl / Hikaru: Hm...who to listen to, who to listen to. What's the diffrence between you and Hikaru, anyways? Your ego, or Hikaru from Hikaru No Go?
@Lady-Wicca666: Glad you like! Sorry it takes so long!
@Katiekat1414: Hm....Bakura Poking....I like...I'll have to think about that one...thanks for the idea!
@Link-Roy-Marth-lover: Don't worry! This chapter you will definitaly find out what happens to Ryou!
~#~#~#~#~#~
Anzu waited impatiently at Yuugi's locker, with Yuugi and Honda. They were waiting for Jonouchi, as usual.
It was after school, the day after they found Ryou beaten up at his home. That night, They took him to the hospital and waited three hours until they could see him, but one of the nurses just told them to go home, as they wouldn't be done with Ryou for quite a while. So they all did, much to their dispair.
So here they were now, after school, waiting for the one and only Jonuchi, who was nearly always late for something.
Five minutes later, Jonouchi finally showed up, trotting up to them, zipping up his backpack, "Sorry! There was this hot girl in the hallway, and I just HAD to see if she was a virgin,"
Yuugi blinked, "Er...how could you tell, Jonouchi...?"
Jonouchi winked, "Sorry, that's MY secret...she wasn't, unfortunatly." He said with a heavy sigh.
Anzu's eye twitched, "What's really unfortunate is that Ryou could be dead by now and we won't be there because of YOU and YOUR perverted attitude!" She exclaimed, grabbing him by the ear and pulling him down the hallway, the other two following behind silently.
It was twenty minutes later that they got to the hospital. They would have arrived sooner, but Honda wanted to take the 'short-cut' and Jonouchi wanted to get some Ice Cream, but was immidietly shot down by one of Anzu's intimidating looks.
"Hi, were friends of Ryou Bakura's....can we see him?" Yuugi asked the young woman at the reception desk.
"Hm....Ryou Bakura...." She looked through a few papers, "yes, you can see him now. He's in room C-12, second floor" She told them, nodding.
"Thank you" Yuugi said, leading his friends to the stairway.
It didn't really take much time to find Ryou's room, as it was one of the ones closest to the stairway. Jonouchi knocked a bit before pushing the door open, "Ryou...?" He said quietly, peering inside.
Ryou was on his bed, on his side facing away from them. His eyes were closed, and he was apparently asleep. He had been bandaged and fixed up, and wasn't covered in blood, like he was before.
Anzu slowly walked to his side, "Should we wake him, guys...?" She whispered to them, looking down at Ryou.
Yuugi nodded, "Yeah...I'm sure he won't be mad at us.."
Anzu nodded back, turning back to her injured friend, looking for a place that WASN'T cut-up or bandaged up (which took quite a bit of finding) to shake him awake. She eventually shook him slightly on the fore arm (sp?).
Ryou shifted, murmuring slightly in his sleep. Anzu shook him again.
"Ryou..? Ryou, wake up.." She whispered to him.
His eyes fluttered open, as he turned to face them, "hm...what...?" he looked around, "W....where am I...?"
"Your at the hospital, Ryou....we found you yesterday at your house, pretty beat up.." Honda explained.
Jonouchi nodded, "You feeling any better...?"
Ryou's eyes widened in realization. ~No! They weren't supposed to find out!~ He thought to himself, ~It's over!~
~Your damn right it is, Hikari~ Came the apparently angered voice of, none other then, Bakura. ~You just wait until we get home...~
Ryou shuddered, closing his eyes again at just the thought of it.
"Ryou? You okay?" Jonouchi questioned him.
"Yeah, yeah, guys...d-don't worry...I'm fine.." He managed to get out.
His friends looked at eachother, then simultaniously (sp??) nodded silently. One by one, they slipped out of the room, save Yuugi.
"W-where are they going?" Ryou asked, momentarily forgetting his problems with his yami.
Yuugi shrugged, "Dont' worry, there going to get something...but Ryou..? Could, perhaps, my yami speak with yours..?"
"Erm...well...he wouldn't like it all that much...."
"Please...? It won't take long."
Ryou sighed, slowly nodding, "Okay, okay...." He said, getting into contact with his yami.
A few seconds later, both yamis' appeared, in which Yami quickly ushered Bakura out the door before the former Tomb Robber to protest.
"What the hell do you want, Pharaoh??" Bakura snapped once they were down the hall and around the corner, out of earshot and eye distance.
"I know it was you that hurt Ryou last night" Yami said threatiningly.
Bakura frowned, "So? And what if it was me...?"
"And I know it's your fault that he's also cutting himself. Did you know that, Bakura??"
"Yes, of course I did! I know everything my pathetic Hikari does...I truthfully don't care that he cuts himself." Bakura said, scoffing.
Yami rolled his eyes, "All I want to know is why. If Ryou is 'so pathetic' then why do you even bother with him? He doesn't hate you Bakura, I want you to know that. Even through all the stuff you put him through every day, he still doesn't hate you."
"I know that, and that's his problem if he doesn't hate me. He should know it won't change anything" Bakura said, looking away and crossing his arms over his chest.
"He DOES know that, Bakura! And yet he still continues to trust you, to support you. Bakura...Ryou loves you. He only wants you to know that, and for you to respect that, or maybe respect him."
Bakura glanced at Yami momentarily, but stayed silent. Yami smirked at that, "You love him too, don't you?"
The tomb robbers eyes widened, "What??? Me, love HIM? Hell no! Why would I love someone like my hikari??"
Yami shrugged, "Everyone has their reasons. It's okay to be in love, Bakura. You don't need to deny that feeling."
The other yami shook his head, "I can't believe your saying that, Pharaoh. Such a stupid, foolish thought to even CONSIDER"
Yami smirked, "Okay, fine. Just remember what I said, Bakura. I'll leave you now..." He said, slowly dissapearing into nothing, leaving Bakura alone in the hallway to ponder Yami's words...
~#~#~#~#~#~
Din: Hm....A short chapter? I dunno, I just wrote until I got bored and decited to stop. Anyways, about Yami's name...
Yami: Don't even say it.
Din: ...What? Don't say that your name is-
Yami: Shaddup!! All the people in America that don't read the Ancient Egypt Arc might not know it yet!
Din: Fine. *whispers* his name is Teddy Bear.
Yami: That's not my name....
Din: ^.^ *huggles Yami* It is now!! And if you want to know his REAL name, remember, put it in a review! And if you DO know it, tell me that you do, so I know I'm not alone in the world....
Yami: o.O *is suffocating* PLease...Let....go...
Din: No. Your going to have to wait until the next chapter is up.
Yami: -_- Not fun...
