Chapter 16: Treatments and new-found hearts
Mana made her way to Anzu's room, being very cautious to not bother her master. She knew that he wouldn't have wanted to be bothered now that he had Kisara back. He had to find a way to treat her infection or she might die. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on Anzu's door. The older brunette stuck her head out, rubbing her eyes in her sleep. "Yes, Mana?"
Mana exhaled sharply and scratched the back of his head. "Um…Miss…"
Anzu chuckled. "Mana, how many times have I told you to call me Anzu?"
Mana nodded. "All right. Um…Anzu…he's here. Your friend that has you all worried."
Being tired from crying last night, Anzu didn't understand at first. That's when she heard Bakura's screams of pain. Her eyes grew wide. "Bakura…Bakura!"
Before Mana could stop her, Anzu pushed her away and ran down the hall, following the screams. Mana quickly went after her. "Anzu, no! Stop!"
Anzu ignored her servant/friend and continued on with a few tears falling. Kaiba came out of his lab and had to move out of the way from Anzu's running. He growled. "Mana, you should learn to control people!"
Mana just nodded as she and Kaiba took off after Anzu, hoping that they would get her before he could find him. But they didn't get to her in time. She found the door where the screams were coming from. She quickly opened it and froze at the scene in front of it.
Bakura was tied down to an operating table on his stomach, screaming bloody murder. His chest was wrapped up and stiff from the ointment that was applied to help heal his whip scars. Other parts of his body were still red from being burned by the sun. A few nurses were currently trying to stitch his wings back onto his back. A few others were trying to keep him from moving. His legs had already broken the restraints and they were trying to kick the nurses away. The nurses were covered with bruises but still remained where they were to keep him from injuring himself even further.
Anzu covered her mouth in shock as a few more tears began to fall. Kaiba quickly burst in and growled, "Anzu, get out right now!"
When he heard her name, Bakura froze and looked toward the door. He saw Anzu and slightly grimaced at the sight of her. She started to go to him but Kaiba held her back. "You can't see him! He needs to have his wings put back in!"
Anzu struggled. "Please! Just let me touch him!"
Kaiba growled and continued to hold her back. She struggled with all her might but he was stronger than she was. They continued until they heard Bakura snap, "Let her go!"
The two stopped and looked at him. Panting from how much pain he was in, Bakura hissed, "Leave me alone. I don't need anyone to see me like this."
Kaiba nodded. "Anzu, you can see him when he gets out of surgery."
Anzu sucked in a sob as she looked at the albino vampire. Bakura inhaled sharply through his teeth at a shot of pain going through his body but smirked at her. She chuckled through her tears and smiled at him. Kaiba then dragged her out of the room. He heard Bakura hiss, "Don't hurt her if you want to live."
Kaiba pushed her out of the room and smirked coldly. "I'm allowed to do whatever I please to her. I'm master of this household and she is my guest. Also…watch what you say. I could have left you out there to fry. I could even now tell my nurses to stop what they're doing and throw you out into the sun. Now will you continue to be nasty to me or will you give me the respect I deserve?"
Bakura just scowled and turned his head away from him. Kaiba continued to smirk coldly as he started to walk out. "That's more like it."
When he was gone, one of the nurses asked the albino, "Are you sure you don't want any morphine? Mr. Kaiba told us to carry out your wishes for this. So…do you?"
Bakura glared at her. "Screw morphine! I need to feel this pain!"
The nurses didn't like it but they continued without anything to dull the pain. Bakura continued to scream in pain but he knew that this was what he requested.

Anzu threw herself on her bed, crying. Kaiba closed her bedroom door and locked it. "Idiot ought to learn to listen to rules," he muttered.
He then went back to his lab and closed the door. He looked at Kisara, who was lying on an operating table with a breathing tube on her face, helping her breath. He sighed and stroked her hair. "Don't worry, Kisara. I'll save you."
He sat down on the table and looked at the notes he wrote down. It was covered with ingredients and amounts. He quickly but carefully started to mix all the components together into a beaker. Just then, he heard Kisara moan. He looked and saw that she was awake. She was trying to say something but he touched her forehead. "Don't speak. I'm going to save you. I promise…and you know I always keep my promises."
Kisara nodded and continued to watch him work. After almost an hour, he completed the formula. It was dark purple and frothy at the top. Swallowing hard, he put an even amount into two separate beakers. He removed her breathing tube. "Here. Drink this. It'll start the process."
Kisara just opened her mouth as her answer. Kaiba lifted her head a little to help her and started to pour the liquid into her mouth. She drank it as fast as she could and almost choked. When she was finished, Kaiba put the other beaker filled with the component on a hot plate. He then sat Kisara up and stuck her face over the beaker. "Breath in the fumes through your mouth. You're voice may be a little hoarse but you'll be all right."
Kisara started to breathe the fumes in deeply through her mouth. She whispered hoarsely, "Thank you…"
Kaiba smirked and kissed her forehead. "Of course, my love. You're my mate…and vampires mate for life."
Kisara slightly blushed but touched his hand. He patted her hand and stood up. "I need to see how our guest is doing. Come out and see me when the liquid completely evaporates."
Kisara nodded and continued to breathe in the fumes as Kaiba left.

Kaiba walked into a guest room and looked at Bakura, who was lying down on his stomach with his head at the feet of the bed. He was still covered with bandages and the base of his wings was covered up. Kaiba chuckled coldly at the sight. "Who would have thought that Malik's strongest vampire would end up like this?"
Bakura just growled. Kaiba rolled his eyes. "I suggest you be nice to me. I may tell your friend to come back later."
Bakura hissed sharply when his nose picked up a familiar scent. "Anzu?"
Kaiba opened the door even more to reveal Anzu standing there, wearing the pink dress she wore when she met the vampire who gave her her first kiss. Bakura froze at the sight of the girl who had his dead heart. Kaiba smirked. "I thought it would be nice of me to give her this dress back to remind you of that night. Anzu wouldn't shut up about that night."
Anzu started to cry and rushed to him. "Oh, Bakura!" she cried as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Kaiba nodded at them. "I need to see to my girl. Don't hurt him any further, Anzu."
Anzu just nodded as she continued to squeeze Bakura's neck. Kaiba left and Bakura glared at the closed door. He then sat up. "Anzu, you shouldn't have been so worried about me."
Anzu joined him on the bed and closed her eyes, releasing more tears. "Bakura…you didn't come back when you said you would. I thought you were dead. When I saw your injuries…I thought you would die…without me being able to tell you…that…I…"
She couldn't continue from her tears. Bakura looked at her and felt his heart of ice squeeze. He clutched his chest at a new pain. Looking at her, he stroked her hair and brought her close. She clutched his arms and cried into his chest. He rubbed his back as he slowly started to understand what was going on inside of him. "Anzu…don't cry. I'm here. You're…the reason…why I'm here."
Anzu looked up at him as Bakura got up and went to the window, wincing at the pain in his wings. "Anzu…you're not like other girls…which is interesting. I thought all girls were the same. You…proved me wrong."
Anzu stood up and went to him. She wanted to hug him from behind but she knew how injured he was and didn't want to hurt him any further. He saw this and motioned for her to come forward. She went in front of him and looked out the window. Taking a deep breath, he wrapped his left arm around her waist and touched her neck with his right. She shuddered from the touch but leaned in on his chest. He whispered in her ear, "Anzu…you're unique. That's what I like about you."
Anzu's eyes grew wide as she turned around. "Bakura…"
Bakura put his finger to her lips, shushing her. He then went forward and kissed her. She slightly froze but then kissed back. He suddenly broke the kiss and fell to his knees, groaning in pain. She quickly picked him up and carried him to his bed. He laid down on his stomach and looked up at her. "Be my nurse?"
Anzu went into the bathroom and came back with a tub of water and a wet washcloth. As she started to wipe his forehead, she whispered, "Do you have to ask?"
Bakura smirked as Anzu continued to wipe his forehead.
I am open to any and all ideas you have for upcoming chapters.
