Ch.2
Everyone looked over at the bed Ryou had been unconscious on to see that Bakura's eyes were opened. Ryou practically tackled him when he saw and hugged him. He noticed his yami was crying and trying to pull away, in fear.
Chapter 3:
Ryou moved away as Bakura struggled and sat with his back against the wall, close to pulling out the IV. Shizuka put out her palm and lifted the yami's chin. Bakura had his eyes shut tight, arms crossed so his hands clutched the other upper arm, and knees close to his chest, whimpers escaping his throat. She pulled away, shocked, and backed into Seto, who wrapped his arms around her. "Bakura? What's wrong?" Ryou asked, staring at him with pure curiosity. Bakura shook his head roughly and started to shake, eyes darting around. Marik, having left Ryou's shoulder, turned to everyone. "We should leave, all these people must be scaring him."he called, everyone leaving, slight mutters of annoyance in the air.
Ryou sat next to Bakura, dispite his whimpers, and ran his hand through the ruffled hair. Bakura let out a cry and backed away, pulling out the IV by mistake and grasping the wrist it had been in, pained. It hurt Ryou to see his yami so vulnerable, scared, confused looking, like a child. He took the wrist in his hand and turned it over to where the IV had been. There was a small hole and trickle of blood leaking from it. Ryou kissed it. He kissed like his mother had kissed his cuts and bruised when he was a small child, before she died.
Bakura stared at his wrist in shock and yanked it to his chest when Ryou let go. He then stared at Ryou, breathing hitching as his eyes glazed over slightly and he started to cry. Then, he acted normal again. Ryou cocked his head and took the sobbing teen into his arms. "Sh, it'll be ok.. Everything will be fine, tenshi(1).. Everything will be fine.."he whispered, kissing the boy on the forehead. Suddenly, he heard Bakura's voice. But it was different, filled with a childish innocence, but pain as well.
"How do you know?"
Ryou looked down at him, seeing the normally hard face filled with innocence and tears. "I don't know. I just do."he answered in a soft tone. Bakura seemed to take that, but then, he made a strangled noise and pulled away. "No! NO! No, no, no!"he sobbed, "I trust no one! No one!"
Ryou stared in surprise and sympathy at the boy a few inches away, muttering to himself. "Bakura, baby, do you even know who I am? Or even what happened?"he just asked suddenly, curious as hell. Bakura shook his head, still muttering. "What do you remember, child?" Ryou asked softer voice. Bakura looked up in surprise. "I-I remember m-my village being slaughtered and then," Bakura fell into tears, this time angry, and ashamed. "And what?" Ryou asked patiently, knowing it'd be good for Bakura to let it out.
"A-And these m-men took me to a burned up alley.. A-And t-they," Bakura stopped and started to sob harder. Ryou consoled him, already understanding what had happened to him. Bakura had been raped. Ryou went onto a calming question. "How old are you?"he asked the teen, still rubbing his back soothingly. "I-I'm six.." Bakura answered, holding Ryou's shirt tightly. 'So that's what happened to my yami..' Ryou thought, still holding Bakura as his doctor walked in. Ms. Prevel.
"I see this cute guy woke up-hey! Why's his IV out!"she asked suddenly, a bit annoyed. "He pulled it out by mistake." Ryou answered in his softest, sweetest voice. She smiled and went to put it back in, Bakura shaking. "No! He seems fine, I mean." Ryou cried, getting an odd look from the doctor. "He doesn't look fine, and he tried to KILL himself dear, he ISN'T fine."she said quietly, patting the top of Bakura's head, who squeaked.
Ryou put on his sweetest face and bambi eyes. Ms. Prevel sighed. "Fine. But, if he shows ANY signs of suicide or other things likw that then bring him RIGHT back. Ok?"she said in a motherly manner, giving them looks. "Yes Miss." Ryou said sweetly and smiling until she left, then turning to Bakura. "Let's get dressed, shall we?"
FITS: Not EXACTLY what I had in mind, but it'll do, lol.
