AN : Sooner than I had planned to have it done, here it is, a new chapter! Bakura Finally tells Ryou he loves him! But does will Ryou wake up again to tell him he loves Bakura too? You will find out soon! Read on if you want to know what is going to happen!

Hm... I'm still wondering if I should make an other story with Malik and Bakura as children, when they still lived with Alucard. Just, what they did and such things... But I'm not really sure about it. What do you all think? Should I maybe make a new story about that? Please, vote 'yes' or 'no' in your review, you would really make me happy with helping me out on this...

Disclaimer : -sigh- I don't own, I guess I never will... I only own the plot and –thinks deeply- Oh, I also own the Manor! (Alucard and etc.'s house)

Chapter 9

Bakura's POV

It has now already been four days ago since I brought Ryou to the hospital, after the teen got stabbed quite some times. Ryou still hadn't woken up since then. It began to frustrate me. Sometimes it looked like Ryou wasn't alive anymore, but all the machines and his heartbeat said something different, so I had to believe that. But I hoped the teen would wake up soon.

I stood up, walking over towards the large, and only window of the room. The sun was already getting under again. For the time of the year, the sun still felt quite hot, even though it was only through a window.

I looked over my shoulder at the teen, still looking the same as he already did a few days now. I sighed deeply. How long would it take? Would he ever wake up? What would Malik have done about it when it would have happened to me? At the last thought I was aware of the fact that I still hadn't told Malik or any other vampire what I was doing. I wondered if he, or one of the others, already knew where I was. Maybe I should call Malik to tell where I am. But on the other hand, then I have to tell him what I was doing here too.

I shook my head. He would find out himself if he really needed to find me. I looked outside the window again, seeing the busy world outside. All the cars driving over the roads. Lots of people on streets, just walking or shopping in one of the many stores the city has. No one seemed to be worried about anything. Like if the whole world was just one peacefull thing, like nothing would happen to them. The thought made me sad. The world wasn't something peacefull. Things will happen to you if you don't watch out. The world was just one cruel thing. Heroes won't save the day. People do die when they aren't carefull (even if they are carefull people will die). And people will get hurt. I already figured that out a long time ago...

I got out of my thoughts when I heard some voices outside the room. I listened carefully when I heard Ryou's name. What were they talking about? I wondered while I still stood next to the window.

"... not sure if he comes out of this coma." A male's voice said softly.

"But why? We have had these kind of things more often, and those people did came out of the coma." A new voice, a female's voice said. Almost as if she would cry any second from now.

"I don't know. I really don't know. But I fear the worst." The first voice said. "I don't think we can save him anymore..."

I sank down on the floor, because of what the doctor and the nurse had just said. "I fear the worst." But my heart broke in pieces again when I heard the last sentence the docter had said. "I don't think we can save him anymore..."

Would it be over now? Had I killed Ryou, because of the fact I didn't looked after him? After I ran away from him. Hot tears streamed down my face again, for the so maniest time this week. Earlier I hardly cried, but this week something seemed to have changed. I didn't wiped away them, not being able to after what I just had heard. I felt numb, I couldn't do anything else but crying it seemed like.

After a long time I got up. Walking towards the bed, amazed by the fact I hadn't fallen on the ground again. I grabbed Ryou's hand and laid my head down on the bed. Still not able to stop the tears from coming out.

"I love you Ryou... I love you... But now it's too late for you to know." I wasn't sure if the words came over my lips, but it didn't even matter that much. Ryou would probably even hear it. The docters weren't even sure if they could help him. They feared the worst.

"I love you..." I whispered, over and over again.

Ryou's POV

"I love you..." A voice whispered, almost so soft you can't hear it, but I did. I heard it.

Bakura? I thought. Not sure if it was really him. Why would he say something like that? Bakura hated me. It wasn't Bakura. It couldn't be. Bakura didn't cared anymore about me, not anymore after he had figured out I was a vampire hunter.

Someone cried softly, while he stayed whispering those words over and over again.

A horrible pain brought me back, getting me out of my thought about that crying person. Why does it hurt so much? In heaven you can't feel any pain? Right? I always had thought heaven was something peacefull, where you didn't feel any pain, anger, sadness and anything else that was wrong. You only felt happyness and peacefull. But apparently it wasn't.

I bit on my teeth, hoping the pain would go away soon, but it didn't. The pain stayed, just as the strange person saying "I love you..." and cried constantly. Was it even for him? Wasn't it to someone else? I thought and then shook my head imaginary. I wasn't sure if I could move my head, hand or anything else, but I didn't knew my chest and stomach hurt really much. And the fact someone has token my hand. But why...?

Images of things that had happened in the past came back into my mind. How I had been when I was a little kid. How my mother and sister had died. How my father had gone away, never hearing anything from him ever again. More images came back. Then we came to the day Bakura and I had met. How great the days after that were. And of course how I had 'told' him I was a hunter. How he had gone away, leaving me. And then, after a few days how Yami had stabbed me in the dark alleyway.

Suddenly something came into my mind. Would I still be there? Would I still lay there, where Yami had left me? No, that couldn't be. I lay on something soft. So someone had moved me. But who? Who had moved me? Was it Yami? But the again, why? If he wanted to kill me, why would he move me to some better place?

Hundreds of other questions came into my mind, but none of them had answers. It was so confusing. Why could no one tell me what was going on!

Normal POV

Yami looked up from a large package of paper, as someone knocked on the door of his office. "Come in."

Slowly the door opened and a brown-haired female gets in. As soon as she was inside she closed the door again and sat down on one of the black leather chairs in the dark room.

"What brings you here, Téa?"

"You asked me to come back to you if I had news." Yami nodded as Téa spoke. "Well, I have investigated the case about Bakura and Ryou, as you requested, and here it is."

She lay down a map on the table in front of Yami, who opened it and quickly read through it. "Thank you Téa. You can go now."

The brunette nodded and stood up, and walked out of the room again.

Interesting... Yami thought when he read the report more carefully than the first time he looked in it. Now only finding out where the vampire and the traitor are. Then they will feel my wrath. Both will DIE! Just like all those other vampires will once they will come across me. Yami laughed evilly at that thought, knowing he would kill every living vampire one day. Maybe even the dead ones, just to kill them another time...

Ryou's POV

A forgotten memory suddenly came back into my mind.

--+--

"B-bakura...?" I whispered softly.

Bakura shook his head. He cluthed his eyes even more shut, but I didn't gave up hope.

"B-bakura...?" I whispered again, hoping Bakura would finally look down at me.

Slowly Bakura opened his eyes, shocked. He nodded, letting me know it was really him.

"I-it hurt s-so... m-much..." I managed to whisper softly. I breathed hard and fast, from all the pain I had, but also becaus of the shock and the loss of blood I already had. I still had my hands on the wounds, hoping to stop the blood, but I failed miserably at doing it. The blood stayed coming out of my body.

"I know." He whispered back, and after a few moments, it seemed to take hours, he tilted me up. Trying to not hurt me even more than I already was.

"I'll help you Ryou. I'll make sure everything will be okey again." These last words I heard, before I became unconsious again, made my heart break. He would help me. I thought happily. But why? Didn't he cared about the fact I was a Hunter? How could that be?

--+--

So, it was Bakura? Was Bakura here? Was he the one who brought me here? Was he the one who was crying? Was he the one who said he loved me!

"...Bakura...?"

AN : Another chapter done... Not as great as I hoped it would be, but still, I didn't want to chance the whole chapter again... Maybe later, when I'm done with whole the story, I'll re-make the whole story again, but not before then..

Anyway, thanks to everyone who took their time to read this chapter, and special thanks to the ones who reviewed it. If you haven't, please leave review! (Makes me want to write more and faster... –hinthint- n.n;; )

I am a Catlover – Hm.. you are probably right... This one is also pretty short, but indeed, blame my many schoolwork for that. (And you are right, I got also 'toetsweken' here)
Ryou will probably wake up soon, it won't take that long anymore! Probably already next chapter! Well, don't worry about Téa's friendshipspeeches, they won't come in here! (I don't even know how to write them...) And as you can see, here it is, a brand-new chapter.

DarknessOfAngelica – Cool you liked it! And as you could have read, Ryou is still alive, but well, not really 100 percent yet... Hopefully he will be awake next chapter.
