AN : I am soo soo soooo sorry! I really wanted to update this story, but somehow I got a huge writersblock... I'm still not quite happy with it, but I couldn't make myself let you all wait longer...
Finally 10 chapters! Now, hoping to reach the 15 chapters. –eats some cake to celebrate it and gives some to everyone who reviews- We are there; Ryou finally wakes up, but only wakes up. He is still not recovered from anything! Anyway, just read on...
Disclaimer : I tried sending a letter if I could own Ryou, but I still haven't heard anything from them yet... So, no, I don't own, and I never will... So, don't sue! –glares- Don't even try!
Chapter 10 Waking up again
Bakura's POV
"...Bakura...?"
My eyes shot open as I heard someone whisper my name. RYOU! I thought. In here, only Ryou calls me Bakura. It has to be him! I thought happily. I tilted my head up and looked at the broken angel in the bed in front of me. His eyes were still closed, and nothing showed he really said that.
Was my mind playing tricks with me? Do I want to hear it so badly that I imagine things? Am I too long in this crazy-making hospital and am I really getting crazy? I really wasn't sure. At this moment I believed about everything. It was highly plausible Ryou has never whispered my name. I shook my head. Now I was getting myself crazy with all these thoughts.
I grabbed Ryou's hand, carefully not to get one of those needles out of his beautiful hand. Looking at the still asleep teen. Could it really be? Did Ryou really said that?
"Ryou?" I asked softly, waiting for Ryou to answer. I sat there for a long time, I wasn't sure for how long, but Ryou didn't answered or whatsoever to show he was awake. I sighed. Now it was officially. I've gone crazy... I thought as I let go of the hand again, standing up and walking over to the window again. Looking outside to the busy world again, but not noticing anything. Deep in thoughts about what just happened a while ago.
"Bakura?" I heard someone whisper my name again.
I turned around, seeing Ryou's eyes getting open slowly. I ran back to the bed, grabbing the teen's hand again. "Yeah, it's me." I whispered back. Intensly happy because of the fact Ryou was still alive.
Ryou's POV
"Bakura?" I whispered again, as I heard a few minutes (I think it was, I didn't had a time or something to check it was really a few minutes) nothing anymore. Had he left? Wasn't it Bakura, but someone else? Had I imagined it? Hundreds of thoughts ran through my mind.
I heard someone come towards me and grabbed my hand again. "Yeah, it's me." He whispered. I tried to smile as I recognised it was Bakura's voice. I slowly opened my eyes, seeing only a big white place. I was now sure I wasn't in heaven, but it looked a lot like the thoughts I had how heaven looked liked.
After a few moments I saw more clear and this time I saw a person, Bakura. "Bakura-" I tried whispering, but Bakura laid a finger on my lips.
"Don't speak. It's okey. It will only hurt you more."
I tried to nod, but I wasn't sure if it was even noticable. I flinced as I felt a great pain again when I tried moving.
"Are you okey?" Bakura asked, obvious concerned about me.
I took a few times a deep breath and the pain slowly fade away. Yami did hurted me very well, but I didn't except anything different from him. It's a miracle I'm still alive.
I saw Bakura turn around when there came footsteps towards this room. The door slowly opened and a brown-haired nurse came in.
"You are awake!" She almost yelled. She turned around and went out of the room, leaving us behind. After a few moments she came back, this time companied with a docter.
"Ah, I see you are awake. How do you feel?" The docter asked and walked over to the end of the bed.
"He's just awake and can't really talk or move yet." Bakura answered the question. "He still has great much pain."
The docter nodded and wrote something down on one of the papers he had in his hands. "I'll be right back soon." He said, both he and the nurse left the room, again leaving us two alone.
"It's going to be okey." Bakura whispered, smiling at me.
I closed my eyes, feeling really exhausted. All I wanted right now was some sleep. I sighed as I heard some footsteps come in the room again.
"Could you please open your mouth a bit?" The docter asked, and put in some really gross tasting medicins as I opened it. I had he feeling to puke them all out again, but that wouldn't solve anything. With a small sip of water the medicins were gone, but the taste stayed behind. Why can't they just make some good tasting medicins? Some tasting like chocolate or something... I thought before I fell asleep again.
Normal POV
"Yami?"
Yami turned around, seeing a hunter a few feet behind him. "What?" I asked, annoyed by the fact that they still hadn't found out where the traitor and his helper were.
"We, we probably know where Ryou is."
"Why 'probably'? How can you not be sure about it!"
"I ehm... We ehm..."
"WHAT?"
"We think he is in the Himoto hospital."
"But..."
"We aren't sure. When we checked they said there was only one Ryou there, but they aren't sure if he will make it. They give him only a very few days, highly."
Yami raised an eyebrow and walked fast further, the messenger trying to stay up with him.
"That's not good."
"Ehm.. Why is that? I mean, we now know where Ryou is."
"Yeah, that's right, but that means Bakura will leave as soon as Ryou is dead and then we lose him... again."
"But... I don't get it."
"Why should you. As long as I understand it." And with that Yami turned around a corned, walking out of the old building, leaving the messenger alone behind. I really need to think about this for a while.
"What are you doing? Where are you going?" The tall brunette asked, questioned by the actions of the other.
"I'm going to find Bakura." The other male answered, putting on his fingerless gloves. "He is already gone for quite a long time, and that's nothing for him."
Seto nodded and walked after the blonde male, who seemed to be in a rush. "And, I'm going alone."
"Of course you go. And I'm coming with you."
Malik turned around, facing Seto. "No Seto, didn't you understand what I was saying? I said, I'm going alone, that's not with you or anyone else."
"Yeah yeah..." Seto sighed. "But I'm not going to let you leave alone."
"Maybe you are right. I have no idea what happened to him, but I have the feeling something bad has happened. I mean, Bakura isn't someone who just stays away from home for quite a few days, without letting someone know anything."
Seto shook his head. "Bakura will be alright. I mean, he is isn't some guy who can't take care of himself. He doesn't get hurt that easily or something like that Malik. You shouldn't worry that much about him."
"I guess you are right." Malik sighed and grabbed his black-leather jacket, putting it on. "But hurry. I want to leave as soon as possible."
Seto nodded, leaving the blonde male behind. "I'll be back soon."
He came back a few minutes later, putting on his long black coat. "Come on. We have to find Bakura."
Malik nodded, leaving the Manor as first, Seto following him fastly. "Any idea where we could find him?"
"Ryou." Malik muttered.
"What?"
"I think it has to do something with Ryou."
"What or who is 'Ryou'?" Seto asked, confused by the answer of the other.
"Can you keep a secret?" Malik stood suddenly still, looking at the brunette seriously.
"Of course." Seto put up two fingers. "I promise." He added, making sure Malik could trust him.
"Very well then." Malik said, nodding and continued walking, Seto following him again. They walked further, while Malik told the brunette the story Bakura had told him a few days ago. The other listened carefully, shocked by this news his friend told him.
Bakura's POV
I stared at the teen in the white bed in front of me. Feeling intensly happy because he was still alive. It would take quite a while for Ryou to be recovered from everything again, but I would help him. He wouldn't have to do this alone.
I put one strain of his white hair behind his ear again. He looked really beautiful, even if he was in this condition. You are really beautiful Ryou... I thought, sighing. I hope you will wake up soon. I thought, as if he could hear my thoughts.
"Wake up soon again my angel..." I whispered, not sure if the teen was able to hear me or not. I gave him a quick kiss on his forehead before I left the room to get some coffee. It wasn't something I really liked, but if it would help me staying awake, I guess I have to deal with it then. Wake up soon...
AN : Finally another chapter done; Ryou's finally alive... Yami has bad plans... I don't think it will take to long to the final battle! –claps hands over mouth- I shouldn't have said that.. I should not have said that...
Anyway, again 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 behind!
I am a Catlover – OMG! What a long review, thank you! A well, I could try make you, but I thought it would be sad for all the other people who read this story too to let them wait so long.
And, that is the world. It isn't just what Bakura thinks of it, but I do too. I think the world is cruel, but somehow also cool. Even if I COULD write Téa-friendshipspeeches, I wouldn't even put it in my story! I mean, I don't want to ruine my story THAT much! Oh yeah, thanks for telling me what to do with the Malik/Bakura as child story. I'm still not sure, but "never say never"...
Btw, do you got an e-mail address? I couldn't find it in your profile... I'd like to talk to you once (other than this way) :)
DarknessOfAngelica – I'm glad you liked the chapter! It's one of my better ones I think. I liked writing it. –goes back to previous chapter and searches- Yeah, I couldn't help it... But it's just, I don't know. He's just furious on all the vampires; they killed his mom and dad. And thanks again, and as you can see, it really helped me out :)
Sand dancer – Thanks for the review, and I'm glad you like all my stories. I've added a new one a few days ago, I'm not sure if you already saw that one. Anyway, I'll try to update everything as soon as possible, but lately I've been quite busy, so everything will update a little slower.
PS. Note
The sidestory of this story (well, that sounded stupid) is now up too! So, if you want to know what little Malik and Bakura have done, go read it! The first chapter of the long promised story is finally up!
