Chapter 8

Normal POV

"He WHAT?" Yami yelled angrily at the messenger. Téa, who had been talking with Yami before the messenger had came in, almost felt sorry for him. The messenger, called Darren, had just told Ryou was probably still alive.

"How is that possible?" Darren shrugged afraid. Not daring to look at Yami when he spoke to him.

"I don't know Yami."

"I thought I killed him." Yami muttered, staring at his desk in front of him, as if there was something that could help him. About a minute of total silence later, Yami looked up again. "Do you know where he is?" Darren shook his head at this question. "Then find it out. And hurry up!" As fast as he could, Darren left the room.

Again, the dark room fell in silence. Almost afraid to speak, Téa opened her mouth. "Yami?" She asked, making Yami look up at her. "I was wondering. Couldn't this Alucard-guy has something to do with it?"

"Which one?"

"The white-haired one." Yami nodded slowly at this statement.

"Why would he?"

"Well," she begun, not daring to look at Yami as she spoke to him. "He and this Ryou-kid seemed to be really close, until a few days ago. I don't know what happened then, but I do know they were pretty close before, what it may be, happened."

"What!" Yami growled, slapping his hands angrily on his desk. "Why didn't I knew about this yet?"

"I-I don't know..."

"Investigate this, and, if there is something important report it to me! Maybe it doesn't seem that important, just tell me about it!" He glared at the brown-haired woman in front of him. Shakily she nodded and left the office.

Why didn't I knew this earlier? He thought. If they were really this close as she said, maybe I can kill both at the same time...

Bakura's POV

A few minutes passed, as the nurse had told me, before she came back and said I could follow her to Ryou's room. It looked like my heart beated twice as fast as it usually did.

After another few minutes we stood still before room 208. "You can visit him now, but he will still be asleep." I nodded, hoping she would go out of the way to let me into the room.

"Oh, one last thing, after half an hour, I'll come and get you again, so you can answer some questions and fill in some papers."

I nodded again, getting impatient of all this talking. Shut up and let me now finally go in! I thought. As if she had heard my thoughts she stepped aside, letting me Finally go in.

"I'll see you in half an hour then." She said, but I didn't felt like replying something back to her.

The room was white, something that really started to bother me. Everthing seemed to be white in here. And then also that horrible smell that was everywhere in the hospital. Really, how do all these docters and nurses stand this all day?

One big window was on the wall on the opposide side from where the door was. The sky seemed to have cleared since the last time I saw it, now already a few hours ago. Allowing the moon to shine, a few beams of moonlight fell in the room where we now were. I looked at the large bed to my right side. I felt my heart break when I saw the white-haired teen laying in one of the hospitalbeds. There were lots of machines next to the bed, I had no idea what they were for, but if they made Ryou better, I didn't care much about it.

Lots of strains in his arms made him look even worse then he already did. Ryou was really pale too, even paler then the last time I remember him seeing.

I sank down on one of the chairs in the room, next to the bed Ryou lay on. Tears started to burn behind my eyes. I blinked a few times, trying to stop them, but there was no use in. Soon the tears ran down on my face, causing Ryou's hand getting wet.

"I'm so sorry Ryou..." I whispered, entwitching our fingers. "I should have never left you alone. But now you are safe..."

After what meeded like only a few seconds, the nurse came back again. "You can see him later again, if you want to." She said, and I nodded, looking over my shoulder for the last time, before we walked out of the room.

I followed the black-haired nurse into some kind of an office, where she asked some questions, most stayed unanswered, because I didn't knew about it. Just like most of the papers she had given.

As soon as we were finished with all the questions and paperwork, I went back to Ryou again. Sitting in the same position as a while ago. Finally falling asleep after a few hours sitting next to the broken angel.

Two young, six-year old kids stood on the proce of a really large house. I looked at, as he wished to be challed, Alucard and I wondered if he would live there all alone. I wanted to ask him about it, but I was still surprised by the size of the house, I decided to ask him later about it. If I wouldn't already see it when we got inside.

"It's so large... and so beautiful." I heard Malik say next to me.

"Come one, so you can see the inside too." Alucard said, walking up the stairs to the front door. We hesitated for a moment, before we actually followed the black-haired male.

Once we got inside, the house looked even larger than it already did from the outside. It was designed in old style, but it was still in good condition. The hall was big, not as big as the one in the orphanage though, but still larger than the one in my old home. At the high roof of the hall hing a large, but really beautiful chandelier.

Alucard sat down our suitcases in one of the corners, the one closest to the stairs. Malik put down his bag in that corner too, and I followed his example.

"Your room is upstairs. First floor, third door at your right." Alucard said, and before turning around he said. "And don't worry about the suitcases, I'll ask Seth if he can bring them to your room. Oh, and before I forget, we will having lunch in half an hour. After that, you can wander around through the whole house if you two want to." And after that, he walked away, leaving a confused pair of children behind. I looked at Malik and grabbed my back from the floor again. "Maybe we should go and watch our room then." Malik nodded in agreement and we went to our room on the first floor of the large house.

I woke up, wondering were I was. When I saw Ryou laying in the bed, slowly my memory came back. Ryou, who had been stabbed by Yami. Ryou, who had still been alive, even though I already thought he was dead. The long waithing in the way too white hospital.

I sighed when I saw the teen was still alseep. After a minute or so, I absorbed my surroundings. The moon had gone and had made place for the sun. The light that was turned on last night, was now turned off. A clipboard with some papers lay on a low box next to the half-open door. Soft voice were heard, just like a lot of 'bleep's from all the machines around Ryou.

Still exhausted, I laid my head back on the bed again, falling asleep almost immediatly.

AN : Another chapter done. This time a bit less long then the last one, and I think the last one was better, but still, you all got something new to read. :) Next chapter will probably take longer, I'm really busy with school and things like that..
