Chapter 006 ~~

While everyone left, Malik decided to stay behind. After the door shut, he walked to Ryou's bed to watch him sleep. He smiled. "You were always the first one to fall asleep." He murmured to himself as he brushed Ryou's hair out of his face.

Ryou opened his eyes, startling the blonde Egyptian. Ryou just stared into his violet eyes then blinked. "C-can I help y-you?" he stuttered slightly.

Malik smiled down at the boy but shook his head. "I am sorry I interrupted your sleep."

"It's okay." Ryou said as the other boy walked to the door. "Wait… can I ask you some questions that have been bothering me?" He asked hopefully.

Malik stopped and turned back to Ryou who was now trying to sit up. The Egyptian walking back to the bed helped the other boy sit up.

"Thanks." Ryou said smiling and Malik nodded.

The tan boy sat in the chair closest to Ryou. "You wanted answers?" Ryou nodded.

"Like, why do I get the feeling that everyone is cautious around me? Or like they are being overly nice?" Malik chuckled.

"It is because they do not wish to get Bakura mad at them." Malik said quietly.

"Why would he get mad at them?" Malik looked up at the white haired boy.

"If you truly do not remember, I suggest you talk with your darker half." With that he got up and opened the door only to collide with Bakura. Malik felt he didn't have the right to be near the boy at the moment. Not after what he did to the white haired dark.

"Out of my way, Tomb Keeper." Bakura growled and Malik moved aside.

Bakura was quiet surprised that he obeyed. "He's all yours now, tomb robber." And Malik left.

Quite confused Bakura stared after the other boy until he vanished around the corner. Shrugging to himself, he shut the door behind him then went to take his place by his hikari's side only to find the boy still awake.

"I thought I told you to get some sleep." Bakura growled softly to his light.

The boy didn't seem to take it seriously and a small smile slid to his lips. "But I had some questions I wanted answered and the boy who just left told me to ask you."

Bakura cursed at Malik silently before looking back at Ryou who was just watching him. He felt the urge to blush under his lights' gaze, but he didn't let it come out.

"Fine, what questions do you want answered, hikari?"

"There is that one. Why do you call me hikari?"

"Because you are the light and I am the dark of the soul we share. Anymore questions?"

"…Why is everyone cautious around me?"

Bakura snorted. "Because they do not want to make me mad at them, I suppose."

"Why would you get mad?"

The thief sighed. "It is my job to protect my light. That means you."

"Hmmm. So in other words, they are scared of you?" Ryou grinned shyly at the other boy.

"Heh. I guess so. They should be scared of me anyways. Only two who are not scared are Yami and Malik."

"Why is that?"

"Well, Yami is the other half of Yugi. Yugi being the light, Yami the dark. As for Malik… He had another ego; I guess you could call it, that took over some time ago. Yami banished it to the Shadow Realm before it could do anymore harm."

Ryou seemed to take this all in because he stayed quiet for awhile.

//Hikari?//

He looked over at his dark half. /Yes?/

Bakura smiles at his light. //Get some sleep. Your head hurts, yes?//

/How did you know?/ Ryou tilted his head in confusion.

//We share the same soul, so I know what you are feeling, unless you block it from me.//

/Hmm. I suppose I'll get some sleep then. Because my head is hurting from all this information. Good night… Bakura./

//Good night hikari.// he replied as he disappeared into his soul room.

~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~

Bakura lay awake in his soul room thinking about what was going to happen. He usually didn't think ahead much at all, he just acted. He didn't know what to do about his hikari.

He didn't know how or why things became the way they were. He just knew the boy he once knew was no longer here. Well, not really anyways. As if he had transformed back into his old self. The Ryou before he met Bakura. For one, he was way too nice, even to his other self.

Bakura sighed as he lounged on his bed in his soul room. He actually missed his hikari yelling at him. That thought made him snort. 'Why would I miss that? Now I can do anything I want and he wouldn't have to know.' But instead of making him feel better, it made him sad and lonely.

Before Ryou knew everything he did. Now he was cut off from his hikari. He felt empty. 'This isn't like me! Why am I thinking these thoughts?' he growled to himself.

He jumped out of his bed and headed to the door of his soul room, but before he could open it, someone else did.

Bakura stared in shock at who he saw.

"Ryou?"

The white haired boy looks at him and blinks.

"Where am I?"

the thief was speechless for a moment.

"My soul room."

Ryou just looks even more confused.

"Inside the Sennen Ring you wear." He pointed to the gold object around the smaller boys' neck.

"We're in here? How?"

"Shadow magic."

Ryou shakes his head making his white locks bounce around. Bakura wanted to reach out and move then from his hikari's face, but he didn't dare to at the moment.

"How do I get out?"

The thief took hold of his hand and then they were back in the hospital room. Ryou blinks as he looks around the room.

"Maybe it was a dream." He mumbles to himself as he crawled back into his bed.

Bakura sighs and didn't make a sound to correct his hikari. He sat down in one of the chairs provided for guests and leaned back, relaxing. The thief soon heard the rhythmic breathing of his sleeping hikari.

He glances over at the sleeping form of the boy. 'How could all this happen?' Bakura felt his heart ache. 'It's all my fault. I left him in the street. Why did I leave him there?'

Bakura got up from the chair and walked to his hikari's side. He removed the intruding locks of hair on Ryou's face.

"I'm sorry hikari."

~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~

Ryou wakes up and yawns, stretching out his arms. He noticed it was early morning, for the sun was just rising.

"Glad to see you finally awake."

Ryou turns to the voice and blinks then smiles. "Hello Malik."

He grins at the white haired boy. "I'm happy you remembered my name."

Ryou smiles back. "Of course. You were so kind to me the other day."

Malik's cheeks become flushed. "Yeah, well…" he shrugs still smiling at Ryou.

"Where's your dark?"

"My what?"

"Your yami, your other half?"

"Oh, you mean Bakura?"

"Yep."

"I don't know. I just woke up."

Malik chuckles as he walks over to Ryou's side and ruffles the boy's hair.

"Hey!" Ryou exclaims trying to swat away the hand.

"Use your mind link."

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Ryou blushed cutely.

/Bakura?/

//Hikari?//

/Where are you?/

//At home. I'm getting a few things. I'll be back in an hour or so.//

/Kay./

Ryou shrugs after he finished talking to Bakura.

"He said he was getting a few things at home and would be back in an hour or so."

"Ah sou ka. Would you like for me to stay here until he comes back?" Malik asks.

Ryou nods his answer and smiles at the golden haired Egyptian.

"Want to go for a walk? Well, if the nurse lets you, that is."

"Yeah!" Ryou beamed his happiness and Malik couldn't help but smile at him.

"I'll go ask." Malik walks out.

Ryou would be more then happy to get out of this room for awhile. Plus, its so boring in here with no one to talk too. Malik came back pushing a wheelchair.

"Nurse said you have to use this if you leave your room."

"That's okay. I don't want you to go through all that trouble for me." Ryou said a bit let down and Malik noticed.

"But it is the least I could do for everything you have done for me." Malik walks over to Ryou and grins. In one motion he pulls the sheet off the boy and scoops him into his arms.

"What are you doing!" Ryou asks worriedly.

"Taking you out of this room!" the Egyptian places the boy in the chair and grabs a spare blanket for Ryou to cover up with. After all, he didn't want Ryou to get cold.

Ryou was not expecting that at all. He could feel his face burning. In fact, he found out he didn't mind being in the other boys' arms. Which confused him a bit. 'What did that mean? Do I… did I… like him?' he wanted to ask the other what he was thinking, but he didn't want to upset him since he seemed to be enjoying himself. Ryou leaned his head back to look up at him.

Malik glanced down to see Ryou looking up at him. He smiles down at the boy, who blushes and looks away. 'What was that?' he pondered while he steered Ryou around the hospital.
