Alright, I'll keep going with the storyline, and try to pull Ryou and Bakura together more.

Ryou lay silently. His eyelips moved involuntarily before they slid half open. He stared at the white ceiling of the hospital room, then pulled himself into a sitting position, the white sheets falling loosely to the bed. Everybody in the room suddenly stared at him, as though they thought he was still asleep. Ryou looked around, his eyes drooping almost closed. He blinked several times, then stared at the small crowd in the room, then opened his mouth, about to speak, before finding himself at a loss of words. He then tried again. "Aren't we supposed to be in school?"

The entire population of the room broke into different levels of laughter despite themselves. Ryou continued to glance around the room at the faces around him. Once again he got the feeling of being watched, and he turned in time to see Bakura sit on the side of the hospital bed. "Yami-chan?"

Everybody stopped laughing.

Ryou turned back to the room. "What's going on? Why am I here?" He turned to Bakura again to see if he had any answers.

Yuugi began to answer. "You wouldn't wake up. Class started and you were asleep, we went to the nurse for a while, and then to the hospital."

Ryou stopped listening as Bakura spoke. "They were worried, aibou."

Ryou seemed puzzled. "Why would they worry about me? I was just looking for you." Bakura seemed very serious.

"They had no way of knowing. And besides, what was so important that you had to see me then?"

Ryou spoke to the spirit that only he could see and hear. "The wall."

Bakura grinned, but not in an entirely pleasant way. "You had questions about your wall? Tell me, did you get any of them answered?"

Ryou was thrown by this answer. None of Bakura's responses had actually answered his question. He shook his head slightly. "No, I guess not." He was not aware of the tension in the room around him. Only Yuugi seemed to have an idea of what was happening.

Bakura stood and turned towards Ryou. "Use more discretion in the future. You will cause less fear." Again he vanished into the air.

Everybody in the room stood awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
