((Bakura's POV))

I ran towards the hospital just in time to see Ryou go in. I spied on him and watched him go into a room. I followed behind him.

"Excuse me." One of the nurses called out to me.

God I hate nurses. They're so pointless. They're just standing in the doctor's way.

"What?" I asked bitterly.

"Visiting hours is over." She said.

What the hell she just let Ryou go in!

"I…I'm not visiting I'm looking for the…bathroom." I said.

That's good. Hope the bathrooms down that aisle.

"Oh all right. Follow me." She said walking in the opposite direction.

Fuck. I waited till she was a far distance and ran to the room Ryou went in. Hope that nurse doesn't come looking for me.

I opened the door and hid behind the curtain of the opposite bed. Yuck I hated this smell. The smell of sick people. It sickens me.

I tuned everything out and started listening to Ryou and I'm guessing Marik…that little bitch.

"Hey Marik." Ryou said.

Looks like I made it right on time.

"Hello." Marik said cynically.

He sure sounded upset.

"Marik, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I totally forgot about your condition and just acted before I actually gave myself the chance to think. I feel like such a lousy friend."

Marik grunted.

"I'll take in consideration that you like me. Even if it was…pretty shocking." Ryou said.

Marik laughed.

"Ryou, what "like" did you think I meant?" He asked amused.

"Um…the one like…Bakura and I."

"Hell no Ryou! No! Oh my god are you—oh my god! Ryou you're funny. I like you as a friend you dolt! Geez. Don't get ahead of yourself like that. I'm not gonna stalk you now or anything. I said I liked you because you've been the first true friend I've ever had. You treat me like a normal person not just some Egyptian piece of shit like everyone says I am. Really hurts my customs and me. Aside from sending me to the hospital I still like you. I've never had any "real" friends before because I always get picked on and I don't do anything about it. I taught myself to always be happy and not let anyone see me sad because then that shows them they got to me. And when they saw, that they just shoved me into lockers and dumpsters, but not biggie. I meant like as a friend. Sorry for the mishap dude. Probably had you going there."

"Yea you did." Ryou said embarrassed.

Well, that's a relief now I don't have to put up traps and shit to keep him away from my house. Damn…I was looking forward to that.

"So are you going to take my advice and stop liking Bakura?" Marik asked.

Liking me? This I gotta hear.

"No Marik. I like Bakura and I know he's changed too. I read it in his diary. Towards the end he started expressing his feelings, but I never got to finish."

What? What the fuck! He read my diary! That little bitch!

"Hey Ryou the nurse outside is looking for you." Yami Marik said coming in.

"Huh? Nurse?" Ryou said.

Uh-oh.

"Oh hey Bakura." Yami Marik said.

Dumb fuck Yami Marik. He blew my cover.

"Bakura?" Ryou said shocked.

"Yea it's me. You diary reader! I thought I could trust you!" I screamed at him.

He started sweating.

"We…we weren't talking about you! I was talking about "Bakurah" from England. My…step cousin." Ryou said.

"You like your step cousin and you read his dairy all the way from over here?" I crossed my arms.

He's so pathetic.

"Ryou's got amnesia! It's not his step cousin. It's my step cousin. She was visiting for a few days. That's why she came over besides teaching me calculus. He found her diary sitting on the table so I dared him to read it." Marik explained.

Sounds like a believable story, but….

"I don't believe you. Prove it." I said.

"Sure." Marik said confidently.

"What?" Ryou whispered to him.

That's not whispering Ryou I can hear you a mile away.

Marik got up.

"Marik what are you doing?" Yami Marik asked.

"I'm going home what's it look like?" Marik asked putting his shirt back on.

"But you're not—

"Yami shut up. I'm fine stop worrying about me all the time. When I get home I bet I can go all sugar high again and not get a concussion like last time." Marik said slipping on his shoes.

Yami Marik sighed.

"Alright Ryou…I need you to help me with something." Marik said grabbing Ryou's hand and taking him out somewhere.

I watched them go into the bathroom.

Yami Marik was staring at me.

"What?" I asked him angrily.

"Did you just give me attitude?" Yami Marik asked me grabbing my shirt.

"N-no." I said frightened.

"Good." He said smiling at me.

I moved away from him.

"You don't have to be scared of me." He said chuckling.

"I'm not scared of you!" I lied.

"Cut the act Bakura. Ryou told me you're scared of me." Yami Marik said messing up my hair.

"I've never told Ryou I'm scared of you!" I screamed.

"He must have read—la la la." Yami Marik started singing.

"Go on!" I said angrily.

"Wow look at the time. The ice cream shop will be closing too and I want an ice cream. Goodbye!" Yami Marik said waving and running off.

I growled angrily and walked to the bathroom. I opened the door and took a peek.

Ryou was crying and Marik was shaking him. What did Marik do to Ryou! I couldn't hear them, but from the looks of it Marik was showing Ryou how to fight…I think.

Ryou cried harder and Marik hugged him. Everything stayed as it was for a minute until Marik let Ryou go revealing a smile. What was Marik telling Ryou?

I walked inside still angry and saw Ryou jump behind Marik.

"What's going on?" I asked angrily.

"Ryou was helping me put something on." Marik said.

"Then why is he crying?" I asked.

"He didn't like it." He said.

I glared at them.

"Whatever. Anyway, Ryou—

Ryou started crying again and hid his face from me.

I grabbed his arm forcefully and brought him closer to me.

"How does Yami Marik know I'm scared of him? I never told you so how do you know?" I asked him.

Ryou whimpered and had his eyes closed tightly.

"Answer me." I shook him.

"I don't know!" He said crying.

"Ryou Bakura you better not be lying to me. If you're lying to me you're in for it dearly." I said throwing him on the floor.

He crawled over to Marik and hooked onto him.

I heard distant voices calling Marik from outside.

I went outside followed by Marik and Ryou.

"Marik!" Some lady said with a heavy Arabic accent.

What the fuck was this family reunion or something?

"See that's my step cousin." Marik said running up to her.

I looked at everyone confused.

They started talking in Arabic and I saw Marik's step cousin glance at Ryou.

"Hello Bakura. Is that you?"

I cleared my throat. I hope this girl doesn't talk to me in Arabic I have no idea what she'll say.

"I am Bakura." I said.

"Oooh! Yes, yes."

"Yea. Whatever." I grumbled.

"Which is you of Ryou?" She asked.

"Me." Ryou said.

"Too meet you nice." She said shaking Ryou's hand.

"Yes it's nice to meet you too." Ryou smiled wiping his tears.

"You feel ba-d?" She asked rubbing her stomach.

"Speak English bitch!" I screamed.

"Bakura! Oh my god!" Ryou screamed at me.

"Sorry. I speak English. Not very good." She smiled.

"You're a bitch Bakura say sorry to my cousin." Marik ordered.

"Whatever." I said folding my arms.

"Why is she here anyway?"

"Ryou read me diary. I have observe you. You scared of me Yami Marik. It says so in me diary. Ryou would not read diary yours."

My brain has been officially scrambled.

Yami Marik laughed.

"Ryou read a "Bakura" diary not a…whatever your name is diary. As far as I'm concerned there's only one Bakura in the world that I know of and that's me!" I screamed.

"Na'am." She said.

"Cousin!" Marik screamed.

"Ha! I know na'am means yes! Ooh Ryou you're a dead man. Wait till we get home. You have one more chance to confess. Did you or did you not read my diary?" I asked him angrily.

He did not say anything. He looked like he had this big lump in his throat. He started crying out of nowhere.

Ugh! He's so embarrassing.

That Arabic chick Na- whatever smacked me.

"Why you cry make him!" She screamed.

"Ah leave me alone you dumb chick. Learn some English. Let's go Ryou." I said grabbing Ryou's hair.

He started screaming for help and grabbed onto any possible thing to grab.

This was the worse meeting in the world. I don't even know what the hell it was. All I know was that it was totally pointless and retarded. Marik sure came up with that one. For su-u-ure. What a hoax. It was so dumb too. I could see right through it. Now Ryou's gonna get a bigger beating for not only reading my diary, but also for lying to me.

He was still crying when we got home and still grabbing things to save himself.

I threw him in the house and he tried to run to his room. Well, he made it successfully, but I have no idea what good that will do him.

I knocked.

"Ryou, will you open the door for me?" I asked nicely.

"Go away!" He screamed.

I asked nicely again and he rejected me again.

I kicked the door down and saw him in a corner trembling.

I walked up slowly to him making him whimper.

"Bakura! I'm sorry! I'm sorry I read your diary! I didn't mean to. It was my inner conscience. It took over me! I didn't want to but it told me too! I didn't set up that thing with Marik's step cousin! He wanted to save me! I swear! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please! Please don't hurt me! I'm begging you!" He said quickly through tears.

It makes me want to hurt him more when I hear him plead for his life like that.

I punched him.

"Shut up!" I screamed at him.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" He repeated in a whisper.

"Shut…up!" I said kicking him now.

He groaned in pain and cried.

"My "journal" is my most prized possession. I wrote all my life in that one little book. My feelings, my thoughts everything and you go and read it. Did I give you permission to read it! Not only did you read it you told somebody one of my secrets! You're going to pay." I said pulling out my knife.

"No! No! Please! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Bakura please. I'll do anything you want. Anything just please don't hurt me! Don't kill me! Please." He begged.

"You should have thought about this before you read my journal. You knew I would find out. Why'd you do it?" I asked grabbing his face.

He stayed quiet and trembled.

"Well!" I screamed beginning to cut his face.

"I…I…I…

I deepened the cut making him scream.

"I wanted to see if you liked me!" He screamed crying.

I stopped.

"You wanted to see if I liked you. You have to be joking." I laughed.

"It's not funny! If you had the feelings I have for you, you'd do the same!" He screamed.

"And what feelings do you have?" I asked him.

He stayed quiet.

"Exactly! You just wanted to read my journal because you wanted to find something good about me so you could use it on me later!" I screamed finishing the cut.

"No! I swear it was that! I swear! I didn't mean to read anything of what I read! All I wanted to find out was if you loved me because I love you." He cried.

I stopped cutting his arm.

"You love me? Again? You said you'd never love me again." I said.

"I know! I know! I lied! I couldn't stop thinking about you. When I tried to stop liking you all I thought about was you! I only started to love you more! I did everything I could to find out if you felt the same! Honest! I did." He cried.

"Liar." I said.

"No! I can't stress it out anymore! I love you! I love you! I love you! I……love you!" He screamed crying.

"I…I thought I could trust you. I cared about you…I even…you betrayed my trust Ryou. I can't trust you anymore."

"You can give me another chance! Please! I'm very trustworthy! You can trust me again! Look look! If I betray your trust…you can kill me off."

What? That's insane! He looked and sounded serious.

I stayed quiet.

"I know you can't resist your will to kill me. If I betray you once more…you can have your way. You can kill me and I won't even fight." He said rubbing his arm.

"I just want you to love me the way I love you. I do care if you don't like me. Even though I say I don't I care! I think about that all the time. During school, at home even in my sleep!"

I…I love Ryou too, but…he betrayed and lied to me.

"I…I don't care. You can love yourself. I don't like people who lie to me and betray me." I said getting up and walking away from him.

"Bakura forgive me! Please!" He hung onto my leg.

I kicked him off and slammed the door on his head. He made a choking noise and cried.

He opened the door and ran upstairs to me.

"Bakura I will not leave you alone till you forgive me." He said crying.

I was getting sick of him. I glared at him. I grabbed him and choked him.

"I don't care about you leave me alone!" I screamed throwing him downstairs.

I slammed my door and sat on my bed quietly.

I don't even know if I love Ryou anymore. I'm beating him like he did something much worse than reading my journal. I need to gain his trust again. But I can't believe he said that to me. He'd allow me to kill him if he betrayed me. Is he that much in love with me?

I heard nothing from downstairs. Not even crying, sniffing or anything. I opened the door and saw Ryou still collapsed downstairs.

I walked downstairs and kicked him.

"Get up." I ordered.

He said nothing. Not even a moan.

"Stop fooling around and get up!" I screamed kicking him again.

Nothing.

"Ryou?"

Still nothing.

"Ryou stop playing. Jokes over." I said shaking him.

He felt lighter than usual. Oh my god…oh my god! Did I kill him!

Ryou's not coming back guys. Seriously. He needed to die. If you don't believe me that's fine. I'll just post it later.

P.S: don't you feel like idiots? With the whole Marik Ryou thingy. Losers lol. It was still funny to read though. Lol )
