Thank you for all the reviews… it is really making me a happy person. But it will still be many evil cliffhangers… and you have to find out the pairings as the story goes.

Brother of mine

Chapter 3- a new start

-----------------------------

Bakura look confused at the wet form in front of him in the rain… clutching a plushie… while looking aimlessly into a pound before him… before looking up at Bakura… his eyes looked distant… yet Bakura could understand that he was looking at him…

"Niisan…" Ryou whisper, wraping his arms around Bakura… "Niisan…"

Bakura just stood there a while… before hugging back… it was his little brother… younger… but he just knew it… his Ryou… it had to be… even thou he was so much younger…

"Ryou… is this real?" Bakura ask, feeling tears glide again… "Please don't dissapear… I'm so sorry for never noticing what he did to you… I'm so sorry…"

"Niisan…gome ne?" Ryou whisper… sounding like a little child… "Ore no… Niisan ureshii…iie… gome…"

"Are you telling me you are happy… and I don't need to be sorry?" Bakura ask, and Ryou nod, giving a loving smile… cuddling his face towards Bakura's chest… yawning…"You must be tired… you need some sleep…"

He nod, and Bakura lift him up, carrying him out of the rain… and into the house…

"Hey Bakura… who was on the… door…?"

Malik's jaw drop open… as he see the soaked form in Bakura's arms… then the others come to see themselves… and the silence is broken as Tea scream out… then she is hit down by Joey…

"Don't tell me you orderd the body to be brought home to you?" Marik ask, sligtly disgusted…

"No…" Bakura whisper, setting Ryou down on the floor… and Ryou looked around in the room… he didn't feel like he knew any of them… and became scared… clutching to Bakura… "Do you want to take a bath before sleeping?"

"Niisan…" Ryou whimper… as Marik came closer… but stoped when he saw that Ryou was afraid… he looked like a little child… clutching to his bigger brother…

"I think Ryou just recognizes Bakura…" Marik point out. "It seems like he is a child again…"

"I'm sorry you guys… but… could you make some food to him? And arrange his bed and a bath?" Bakura pleade, he didn't feel like leaving Ryou for one second.

"Off course!" They all yell, and run of to make food, arrange bed, a bath and Yugi even tought of finding Ryou some new clothes… since the ones he had was soaked… and probably cut open under the operation… since it was thorn… and coverd in blood… and while the others run around, Ryou was almost sleeping on Bakura's lap… but he woke up, as the phone rang… and Bakura picked it up from where he sat..

"Moshi moshi…" He say, and look down on Ryou, who looked curious up at him…

"I don't know how this has happened… but the body of your little brother has dissapeard…" The doctor exuce… "I'm really sorry… but…"

"I know… he is ok…" Bakura whisper, and smile down at Ryou… "He came here walking in the rain… just come and see if you don't belive me."

And Bakura lay on the phone, and Ryou dozed off again… smiling in his sleep… how could Ryou still be alive? It even seemed like all the injuries where gone… it had to be a miracle or something… but… he didn't care… as long as he had his little brother…

"I have poured the bath for him…" Yugi whisper, and smile… "And there is some change of clothes on the counter in the bathroom."

"Thank you…" Bakura whisper, and get up, holding Ryou gently… when he tought of it.. Ryou was to light… he couldn't have been eating right at all… "Ryou… do you want a bath?"

Ryou nod, and smile…as Bakura take of him the wet clothes… before gently placing him in the bathtub… Ryou looked up at him, and giggled… then splashing at him…

"Hey, relax now." Bakura laugh, and take the shampoo… applying it gently at Ryou's hair… Ryou seemed so happy… this had been like he was when they were small… Bakura always wanted to hate Ryou then… since he had been born at the cost of their mothers life… but… Ryou had always seemed so… innocent… so he was never able to hate him… he loved him to much… his gentle little brother… "So… you came back the only way you could be happy?"

Ryou just look confused at Bakura, before giggling again… as Bakura washed the shampoo out… this was so funny to Ryou… he loved it.

-----------------Later-------------

"The food is ready everyone!" Joey cheer, and set the food on the table, as everyone had gatherd around the table. "I, Tea and Malik have put everything in this meal… so you better love it!"

"So Bakura… what age is Ryou at?" Yami ask, and help himself to the food, as Bakura have to help Ryou…

"Around nine… he was like this at that time… he was always clinging to me… never wanting to say much…" Bakura answer, and pat Ryou on the head… "I bet he will be ok soon… when he gets over the shock of getting back from the dead…"

"Niisan… mitte, mitte!" Ryou cheer, and hold up the chopsticks proudly, as he had managed to get the food to stay on it… "Am I good?"

"Off course." Bakura laugh, and pat his head again… "You are the best in the world."

Ryou smile wider at those words, his big brother was the best in the world… he loved him so much… but… where was their father? Maybe he had gone to buy some of that kind of soda he always bought… those that made him yell at Bakura for taking care of him…

"So… will you guys be staying the night?" Bakura ask, after the meal… as everyone seemed to search for a sleeping place…

"Yes… just to be sure you two are ok." Marik answer, and toss unto the coach. "When the doc come, I'll tell you…"

" 'Kay see you later." Bakura yawn, and take Ryou's hand, guiding him to the bedroom."So, want me to sleep in here with you?"

"Niisan stay…" Ryou whisper, and clutch Bakura… "Will you stay with me?"

"Off course." Bakura sigh, and lay down beside Ryou, who was looking for his plushie."Yugi

said he would wash it for you… then it will be nice and clean again…"

"Oh… then Yugi-kun is a nice person, and Joey-kun to… he made good food…" Ryou yawn, falling into sleep, while cuddling closer to the real Bakura… "I love you niisan… and I will always stay with you…"

Bakura sigh… Ryou had always said that when he was at that age… what had Ryou felt when he had yelled he wanted to move out… and never see him again? Bakura close his eyes… and clutch Ryou closer… no wonder Ryou ended up dead… when he himself hadn't been able to take care of him…

"Yes… you will always stay with me…little brother…" Bakura whisper… hearing the faint heart beats… he was really alive again… and… Bakura didn't even care why…

-----------Next day------------

Ryou open his eyes… and look confused up on a man he didn't know… so instinctly, Ryou hide in Bakura's arms… sobing…untill Bakura woke up… spoting the intruder.

"Doc… if you continue to scare my little brother like that… I will have to kill you…" Bakura groan angry, as he tried to cheer Ryou up… "Ryou… this is your doctor… don't you remember being sick?"

Ryou look up at the doctor… and see the white choat… so he relax…doctors where nice, they cared for you when you were sick…

"Hello doctor… sorry you scared me…" Ryou whisper, not letting go of Bakura… he couldn't remember that doctor…he was scary… "I'm hungry… can you find some food to me niisan?"

"Ok." Bakura answer, and get up from the bed, Ryou following him to the kitchen, while the doctor was just following confused behind him… "What do you want Ryou? I can make you some sandwiches if you want to…"

"Ok…" Ryou whisper, and clutch to Bakura's side…he felt so afraid of everything… only his big brother would take care of him… since their father was so against him… "Niisan… why do father hate me?"

"I don't know Ryou… but he has moved out now… we are alone now, and you don't have to worry about him anymore…" Bakura answer, and smile. "So I am the one who will take care of you now."

Ryou smile happy, and follow Bakura around in the kitchen as he was making the food… he was so happy, now it was only him and his Niisan… he was so happy.

"Bakura… the doctor isn't reacting when I kick him…!" Marik yell, and walk in to them… but Ryou hide behind Bakura… Marik was to scary… "Come on Ryou… I'm ok… I'm your big brothers best friend."

"Is he?" Ryou ask, and look at Bakura, who nod. "Oh… then you have to be nice."

"Exactly." Marik laugh, and smile… "How about I stay here to help you two today?"

"I think we can manage today…" Bakura sigh, happy it was holiday now… "But you have to help me when I have to start school again… I can't just bring him there…"

"Ok… I'll think of something." Marik laugh, and wake up Malik. "We are leaving now honey, so wake up the loosers…"

And the others were gone almost imidieatly… while the doc was still staring at the humming Ryou… who helped Bakura cut up some tomatoes.

"Um… excuse me…" The doctor start, and Bakura turn towards him… "How the hell can this have happend?"

"I don't know… but since Ryou is ok again now… you can just piss off… I bet there is no more problems… but if some occur… I'll call you…" Bakura explain, and pat Ryou's head, and Ryou giggle. "I bet he will be himself again soon…"

"Ok… but… I think I should… take some tests… to be sure he is ok… if that is ok with the both of you…?" The doctor whimper… as Ryou continued staring confused at him…

"We can come in for some tests later today…" Bakura answer, and smile to Ryou. "Do you want to go to the doctor honey?"

"He won't sting me or something?" Ryou whimper, hiding more behind Bakura… "Then I don't want to…"

"Just one little blood sample… it won't hurt the bit." The doctor answer, and bow… before walking out of the house… he was a man of no religious believe… but… Ryou had seemed to him… a angel…

"Niisan… will you come with me?" Ryou whisper, and smile to him… "I don't want to do anything alone anymore…"

"I'll always stay with you… don't worry, you are my little brother… and I will never leave you… so don't worry." Bakura laugh, and smile. "Here is your sandwich, hope you like it."

"Aren't you going to eat?" Ryou ask, as he and Bakura sit down in the coach… "You can have some of mine if you are hungry…"

"Don't worry… I ate enough last night, and you really need to eat some more." Bakura laugh, and smile to Ryou. "You are becoming to thin…"

"But… if you don't eat… you will be to thin… then who will take care of me?" Ryou giggle, and break of a piece of his sandwich. "Here… open up your mouth…"

Bakura laugh, and does as Ryou order… he really suited the childish role… He was so cute as a nine year old… really cute… but… he still hoped he would become himself again… so he could tell how sorry he were…
