Babysitting the Maniac
Chapter 4-Emergency
Maith sat down on the park bench, clutching at the stitch in her side
"Why does he have so much energy?" she asked the world in general.
"Marik! Get back here! Stop chasing that kid!" Bakura took off at full pelt and grabbed Mariks purple cloak(y thingy). The spikey blonde yelped and fell to floor, letting the little girl he was chasing get away from him screaming.
"What did you do that for?" Marik shouted. Bakura just growled.
"Marik, let's go to pond and feed the ducks, okay?" Ryou asked him, standing behind Bakura slightly in case the demented yami decided to pounce on him again. Marik got up and dusted himself off. "Right then, let's go." The troop started off for the pond, Maith joining them still clutching her side.
There weren't many people around the pond, just an old couple who were also feeding the ducks, Ryou counted this as a blessing, less people for Marik to annoy. They started throwing bread into the water, some of the ducks coming to them instead of the other couple, Marik didn't seem to think it was enough though. While Bakura and Maith were laughing at some ducks squabbling over a piece of bread, Marik snatched the bag of bread from Ryou and tipped it all out into the pond.
"Marik! You're so stu-"
"Bakura! Mind you're manners. Marik, that wasn't very nice. I'd appreciate it if you didn't do it again." Ryou looked at Marik sternly. The said yami just stuck his tongue out. Ryou sighed and turned back to Bakura and Maith, "What shall we do now?"
"Well, we're out of bread so I suppose we go home?" Maith suggested. Ryou was about to answer when a scream punctured the air. The group turned to see large ripples on the pond surface and Marik standing on the bank with his hands over his mouth.
"MARIK! WHAT DID YOU DO!" Bakura ran around to where Marik was standing just as the old couples head's resurfaced from the pond.
"Oh my god, are you okay?" Maith really didn't need to ask, but waded out into the pond to help the couple out.
"Marik, are you that spaktarded?" Bakura was shouting gripping the top of Mariks arm.
"Kura, you're hurting me!"
"Good!" Bakura began to drag the blonde towards the exit of the park.
"Bakura, where are you going?" Ryou called after them.
"The museum, I'm not looking after this little shit anymore!"
"Kura, let me go!" Marik struggled frantically to get free of the iron grip Bakura had on his arm, "You're really hurting me!" Tears began to course down Marik's cheeks, but Bakura didn't notice, he was too busy fuming at Marik's behaviour. He only noticed when he heard the blonde sniff and whimper.
"Are you crying?"
"NO!" the blonde said looking away from Bakura, so as not to show his wet cheeks.
"You so are!" Bakura turned Marik to face him and took hold of his chin, so his face couldn't move away. "Why are you crying?"
Marik sniffed a few times before answering, "You were hurting me and you called me a little shit, you don't like me."
"Oh help," Bakura muttered, emotion wasn't a good subject for him, "I don't not like you, I like you but you can be very annoying." Marik began to sniff again, "Look, if you behave, then I'll buy you ice cream." Marik smiled and wrenched his arm out of Bakura's grip. Bakura was about to curse him again for his trickery, but was pleasantly surprised when the yami held his hand and tried to drag him back to the park. Bakura pulled his hand out of Mariks hold, but followed him a few yards behind. Why me, he thought, why is Ra trying to punish me, it's not like I'm a bad person, people just don't see my way of thinking.
"BAKURA! MARIK!" Bakura looked up at the sound of his name, but what he saw made his heart stop and what he heard made him feel sick.
Marik was halfway across the road when he looked left; the oncoming car going to fast to stop in time, and Marik hit the bonnet of the car with a deafening thud and landed on the ground a few meters away from the car with a nasty crunching sound. The car had skidded to a halt, and the driver, a young woman with long brown hair, had jumped out to see if Marik was okay.
"Shit!" Bakura ran over to the unconscious Marik and turned him over to see his face and held the yami's head in his left hand, supporting his back with his arm while brushing bloody bangs out of the yami's face with his right hand. "Marik! Marik, please be okay, come on wake up, be okay!" Marik's eyes were closed and he was unmoving.
"Oh my god, is he okay? I didn't see him; I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Oh my god, I'm so sorry. What shall I do?" the young woman was gibbering the same things over again while Ryou and Maith came up behind her.
"I tried to warn you!" Ryou said, tears making tracks down his face.
"I know. I heard you." Bakura couldn't say much more than that, his heart was beating painfully fast and bruising the inside of his ribcage, making speech difficult. He looked back down at Marik and gasped. A small trickle of dark blood had leaked out of the yami's half open mouth.
"Shit! Look at his ear!" Maith whispered. Bakura turned the yami's head slightly and saw another trickle of dark blood coming out of his ear. "Doesn't that mean internal bleeding?"
"Shut up!" she was making it worse, "Come on Marik, come on, you're a yami, you shouldn't die this easily, come on!" Bakura's voice was hoarse from trying not to panic, and his hand was wet with Mariks blood, "I don't understand, he's still breathing! Why isn't he okay?" H was right, Marik was breathing, but it was laboured and shallow and the blood from Mariks mouth was now a vein of fast flowing deep red liquid. Bakura looked up at Ryou, "He's not going to make it is he?"
Ryou closed his eyes and shook his head as tears raced down his cheeks.
Short, but shocking! Please Review!
