I only own the plot. Please enjoy the third installment!

Yami, Yuugi and Malik were sitting in the waiting room for what felt like hours! At one point a bright blue light had started to blink and every nurse in the vicinity had began running toward the ER room. Yuugi had been to the hospital enough times to know that when there are that many people going to just one room that the patient may be crashing.

Yuugi could not help that his eyes were the size of saucers. He could not help that he fell to the ground in front of the chair that he had just been sitting in. Yami was immediately next to him and Malik following, both on either side of the shivering and shaking boy. Yuugi covered his face with his hands and began to sob and pray to Ra that this boy make it. Yes he was a kind and sensitive young man and he just could not stand to see the boy that him and Malik had just rescued die. He was too young!

So for the next ten minutes all Yuugi did was sob and pray and pray and sob. Yami and Malik rubbing his back and whispering soft words that everything would be okay. Eventually the three were embraced in a hug with Yuugi melded between them. Pretty soon they heard a clearing of the throat from the person in front of them and the three immediately stood up to face the doctor.

"Are you here for a Bakura, Ryou?" So that was his name. It was a nice one, they must have gotten it from the medical records that I am sure they have around here somewhere. Yuugi nodded his head and asked the question that he had been dying to ask. "How is he? Is he okay? Did he make it?"

The doctor looked solomn but nodded all the same. "He is doing a bit better since he has been here. We lost him twice but managed to bring him back. Are you family of the young mans?" The three shocked men slowly shook their heads, Yami the first to break free from the news. "We are not. We are just friends, when may he see him?"

The doctor, for some reason, had a small glint of sadness in her eyes before the look completely vanished as soon as it had appeared. "You may but I must warn you that the sight is pretty gruesome." As soon as that left the doctors lips Yuugi went pale but straightened up and asked where his room was.

"Third door on your left. Miss Nosaka will lead you there." Yuugi nodded and bowed, saying his thanks and then left, Yami and Malik starting to follow. Before the two could get any further, the doctor stopped them both short and motioned for them to follow her to some seats in the far corner of the waiting room.

"I must warn you both that whoever did this was very thorough. I did not want to say this in front of the other young man but Mister Bakura has been through alot of trauma. Not only did he have bruises, cuts, and scrapes but he also had some very deep cuts as well. He has lost a lot of blood and the most disturbing of it all was that he was brutally raped. His attacker was relentless and it boils my blood to think that it was done in the most brutal and busiest streets in Domino City!" Yami and Malik were in shock. All that had happened to this young man? Why? Yami wanted to know and he had a sinking feeling enter his chest and his heart strings were pulled.

"Thank you Doctor for informing us. What will happen to him now?" Malik was clenching his fists as he had asked this question, evident that he needed to get his anger out. "For now he will stay here with us until we see it fit for him to leave, until then just be by his bedside." With that the doctor got up to leave down the hall when she was paged to another code blue.

"We should better go and join Yuugi now, he must be getting worried as to why we have not shown up yet." Yami nodded, agreeing with Malik and the two young men started to walk down the long white hallway.

That is until a loud scream and a broken sob had pierced the quietness of the ICU.
