'Ryou to Yami Bakura Mind Link'
"Ryou thinking"
"Conversations"
Sana-Chan:*Curls up with laptop in lap typing away happily*
Bakura:Evening Sana-Chan, How are you feeling today? *Walks over to Sanas bed and sits beside her*
Sana-Chan:*glances up at Bakura and smiles brightly* Not to bad, my legs hurt though feels like I have cramp in my knee, could you rub it better for me please? *Gives Ryou styled puppy dog eyes*
Bakura:*Smirks* Yeah sure, how have the chapters been going?
Sana-Chan:third chapter in one night! Well third chapter started in one night
Bakura:Well that is bloody good! Keep up the good work, I will let you get back to writing while I massage your knees for you *smiles softly*
Crisp fresh and cooling air blew lightly over warm flesh, golden glow of a burning sunrise seeping through slightly parted curtains and dancing elegantly across alabaster almost porcelain flesh. A low unwelcomed groan slipped from parted lips as snow white hair tossed slightly before rising and sitting upon knees, a loud wakening yawn escaped parted lips as Ryou rubbed at his eyes sleepily. Looking around slowly Ryou sighed softly as he raised his arms above his head and stretched big as he spotted one of Bakuras black tight ripped and lined in red tops in his lap, gasping Ryou quickly pulled the top of his lap and examined it quickly to check for any dirty marks. Finding none Ryou sighed softly and held the top close to his chest as he slowly inhaled Bakuras scent from the top before jumping out of bed and dashing into the bathroom to shower quickly. Once showered and dressed Ryou made his way along the hallway to see Marik prancing around the living area on the phone talking to someone
"Yeah I know right... Well Ryou isn't awake yet but it is only 7:45am... Yeah I'll wake him up myself at 8am if he not up by then... okay that does sound good...alright see you at 9am outside the museum... Yeah see you then Vincent, and send your sister my love... alright bye"
"Oh you will wake me up will you?"
"Huh!? Oh morning Ryou, Yeah that was Vincent. Yugi and the Pharaoh are meeting Vincent in front of the museum at 9am so I said we would be there at 9 as well, so that gives us an hour to have breakfast and get our things together for the day" Marik explained as he walked into the kitchen with Ryou following behind
"So where is Mariku, I noticed your room was empty"
"Oh yeah, Mariku left at 7am said something about going over to your apartment to give it a little clean up before heading to the hospital"
"Oh right, he doesn't have to clean my apartment that is my job" Ryou said softly taking a seat at the kitchen table as Marik prepared hot drinks
"Ryou, Mariku has been going to your place twice a week to give it a cleanup. Like those days Mariku wouldn't get home from work till 5pm, it was because after work he went straight to your apartment to get it cleaned up from... well you know the blood and all" Marik said lightly as he finished making drinks and placed a hot tea in front of Ryou. Sighing lightly and nodding Ryou blew upon his tea before taking a small sip as he and Marik continued to chat about this and that while Marik made them breakfast.
After Marik and Ryou got everything they needed and had eaten breakfast, the two teens left the Ishtar Residence and headed over to the Museum where Vincent, Yugi and Atem were stood waiting. Smiling brightly Ryou apologised for being late glaring at Marik who shrugged as the three Hikaris chuckled and walked just behind Atem and Vincent talking about their dance routine. While occasionally glancing up to watch the older males before them, Ryou sighed softly as he fisted his hands into his pockets and wrapped his fingers around something he had slipped into his pocket. Marik noticing Ryous actions pondered on what Ryou was hiding as he grabbed both Ryou and Yugi by the wrist and ran forward to catch up with Vincent and Atem as they walked around a corner Marik knew and stopped just in front of what looked like an old abandoned warehouse when Yugi piped up slightly with a gasp
"We are practicing here?"
"That we are Yugi, Welcome to the Krestan-Botasuma Dance studios" Vincent replied slightly huskily as he pulled out a long silver key and slipped it into the keys hole of a lock and turned it to the right as he cleared his throat and smiled lightly, "Hey Aidosana it only me!" Vincent called out as he pulled the door to the right as it slid rustily across rusted wheels to reveal the young pale fleshed female standing the other side in a knee length black and red gothic Lolita skirt, matching tight busted corset and red ribbon trailing down her long platinum white hair. Smiling a bright smile with sparkling blue eyes Aidosana smiled at her brother and at the four males with him
"Hey Marik, Ryou nice to see you both again"
"H-Hey Aidosana" Ryou said softly as he stepped into the huge warehouse and looked around briefly before the sound of a click caught his attention. Quickly shielding his eyes from the brightening light that almost blinded him Ryou gasped out and looked around the mirrored room, "W-wow! This is your dance studio?"
"That it is Ryou. Me and Vincent have spent the last 5 years getting it up to this standard"
"This is amazing!"
"We know. Anyway Aidosana is here to make us drinks and snacks, while we practice. I am gathering that Mariku will be joining us a little later?" Vincent purred lowly and huskily as he glanced at Marik who nodded and smiled brightly walking around the room as he noticed a tray of biscuits and fresh orange juice waiting for everyone. Turning to face Yugi and Ryou, Marik beamed happily before taking their hands and walking to the centre of the room as Aidosana pressed play on the big stereo system, a thumping yet almost relaxing tune echoing throughout the huge warehouse room as the three lights started messing around and loosening up their muscles while Atem sat down with Vincent and Aidosana and spoke about the arrangements of the day.
As the hours passed, Marik, Yugi and Ryou had practically mastered their dance routine. So the three lights sat around a small table discussing some changes when the doors of the warehouse banged and everyone glanced towards the doors, Aidosana herself shifted quickly towards the doors and reached for her concealed knife as she grabbed the inside handle of the door and pulled the door open. Moving with such speed she reached a single hand outside and grabbed the arm of what she knew was a male and pulled him into the warehouse, knocking him to his arse with her knife to his throat as she gasped and jumped back
"M-Mariku! I am so sorry!"
"I-It's fine... H-Hello to you to Aidosana" Mariku said softly rubbing his throat as he pulled himself to his feet and dusting himself off, "I should of rang to say I was on my way. Vincent gave me the address this morning"
"Oh right, still I'm very sorry Mariku"
"Don't worry about it" Mariku said softly as he pattered the young females head softly as he helped her close the door before turning to be pounced by both Ryou and Marik, "Looks like I was missed"
"You frigging were! You've been gone almost 7 hours!" Marik hissed painfully as he clung to his boyfriend
"Yeah, sorry about that Marik. Anyway shouldn't you be practicing?"
"We are done Mariku. We have been waiting for you so we can get the practice in for the big group dance" Ryou said softly beaming up at Mariku who handed him an envelope with a smile and wink
"Okay, sorry I'm late"
"Don't worry about it Mar, we were just about to have something to eat anyway before we started" Vincent said softly as he walked in to the main room from an off the side room carrying a tray of snacks and sandwiches with drinks, nodding Mariku walked over to the table everyone seemed to be sat at with a smile as he glanced at Atem and nodded. Ryou on the other hand left the main room to walk into the small bathroom stall and closed the door behind him as he sat on down on the floor and opened the envelope he had been handed by Mariku. Sighing to himself Ryou opened the envelope up and pulled out a piece of paper addressed to him as he glanced at the time on his Cell Phone before taking a deep breath and reading quietly to himself
"Dear Ryou, I miss you as well. I want to come home, but these blasting doctors won't let me. They say I have to stay here for another week or so, but hopefully I can get out sooner rather later.
Anyway, I have read your letter and I only one thing to say. I am so sorry I have caused you so much pain, that night I practically begged you to come home... I realised I really did need you Ryou. I know I am a grade A jerk and have hurt you beyond words of apology, I know I made big mistakes and I know it would take a life time to re-gain your trust. But know this Ry, I will do anything you want me to do. I want to come home so badly and be with you just so I can tell you to your face how sorry I really am. I wasn't ever expecting you to come visit me in this dreadful place, I would of understood if you never wanted to see me again because of the stuff I have done to you. But to know that you have been self harming and use to do it has really upset me Ry, Please stop. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you put yourself in hospital, I know it is all my fault but it would still kill me. Mariku is currently sat with me, he is telling me that you want me to see you dance at this contest that is happening in three days time. I wish I could watch you, I honestly didn't even know you could dance. If I had known I would off asked you on several occasions to come to the club with us, but I just didn't think it was your type of scene.
Apart from all that I want to thank you for the Necklace, it is beautiful Ry. I'm wearing it now, Mariku is taking the piss of course but he laughing. So I think all is good, I hope your practice goes really well today. I would like you to come see me when I'm awake Ryou, I really want to see you. But I would understand if you don't think you are ready to come see me. Anyway I will leave this how it is now, just know Ry you will always be my Tenshi and Light.
with my deepest apologies and Love
Your only Yami
Bakura xx"Ryou sighed deeply after reading the final words as he wiped at his eyes and cheeks just as the door knocked, jumping slightly Ryou glanced towards the door handle as he spoke lowly
"Yeah?"
"Are you alright in their little one? We were about to figure out this group routine"
"Y-Yeah, I'll be there in a second I just need to wash my hands and splash my face in water"
"Okay, I'll wait here for you as I have something for you"
"Okay Mariku" Ryou replied softly as he stood up and dusted himself off as he noticed that the letter continued as he bit his lip and read it quietly
"P.S I love you Ryou Bakura, More than anything in this Ra forsaken world. I hope you still love me xx"Blushing Ryou quickly shoved the envelope and letter into his pocket as he quickly washed his hands and splashed his face in cooling water before leaving the small bathroom stall to see Mariku waiting for him, within the taller Egyptians hand was a silver chain that Ryou didn't recognise as it was handed to him. Tilting his head slightly Ryou looked over the chain as he glanced up at Mariku
"W-What is this?"
"It is from Bakura, Said something about having it the day of the club dance, he wanted you to have it that day but of course he didn't really see you. So he wants you to have it now" Mariku explained softly as he carefully moved Ryous hair over his shoulder and clasped the necklace shut around the Albinos neck with a smile, "He really misses you Ryou"
"I know M-Mariku" Ryou replied with a small sigh, "M-Maybe I'll go see him... b-but not yet" Mariku nodded softly in understanding as the two males walked back into the main dance room and re-joined everyone else, after several words were exchanged they small group came up with some ideas for the groups dance off as Aidosana put on the CD Yugi had brought with him with the song on. Getting into place, Ryou, Marik and Yugi knelt in front of Vincent, Mariku and Atem as they let the music dance through them and made them move in sync and at a rather quick speed.
After several attempts and several rounds of practice, the small group of males finally got a routine in sync as Vincent explained that they would work on it a little more the following morning, agreeing Atem glanced at Marik with a glare as they all agreed on a time on meeting at the dance studio belonging to Vincent and Aidosana, with bright smiles as the time was finally agreed on with some debate before everyone left and went their separate ways. Yugi and Atem returned to the Kame Game shop while Mariku, Marik and Ryou all went back to the Ishtar Residence. Once home Marik groaned lowly as he dropped his own duffer bag to the floor and mumbled something about going for a nice hot bath to relax, Mariku just laughed as he made himself and Ryou hot drinks as the two males sat and spoke about a day Ryou would feel more comfortable about going to go and see Bakura at the hospital when Ryou sighed and rested his head in his arms with a small yawn
"M-maybe I'll g-go see him Sunday"
"It is up to you Ryou, if you think you will be comfortable seeing him then, then that is your choice little one"
"I know, m-maybe surprise him. You take the DVD's to him so he can watch them and while he is I can be waiting outside for them to finish, be a nice surprise for him" Ryou explained weakly with another loud yawn as Mariku nodded
"Yeah, or if you want I was talking with Vincent and he said that we get the DVD's the same day as the dance off. So if you want after the contest is finished you and Marik come back here and get bathed and dressed while I collect the DVD's, then I will come back here have a quick shower and we will head up to the hospital"
"That sounds like a plan, but only if I feel comfortable to do so"
"Of course Ryou, no one will force you to go" Mariku explained as the Egyptian looked up to see Marik walking towards them with a weak smile, "What is wrong Marik?"
"I'm tired so I am going to bed"
"B-but Marik, it only 8pm" Ryou gasped softly and playfully
"Y-yeah I know... b-but I'm so frigging tired"
"Well you both have had a rather busy day, so how about we all catch an early night. We have to be at the ware house for 9:30in the morning, so a good long nights sleep is needed" Mariku explained as Ryou nodded with a smile explaining he was going to go for a bath before he went to bed, nodding Mariku picked up Marik and carried him up to bed followed by Ryou who smiled and said good night to the Egyptians as he walked along the hallway and went into the bathroom. Sighing to himself Ryou took his anti-Depressants and started running himself a hot bath as he went back into the spare room and gathered up his PJ's, once done Ryou returned to the bathroom where he closed the door and stopped the running water as he smiled to himself and stripped down so he could get into the hot water with a low hiss. Once in the bath Ryou reached over for his Cell Phone as he glanced at the time, it was just after 8:15pm with a low groan Ryou laid back in the bath as he went through his recent phone calls and found the number that had called him the day before. Gulping thickly Ryou hit the redial key and held his phone to his ear as he waited for someone to pick up the phone
"Hello this is the nurses' station of floor 6 at St Kous hospital Clara speaking how may I help you?"
"H-Hello Nurse Clara, It is Ryou. I was wandering if Mr Bakura was by any chance still awake" Ryou spoke softly and quietly as he glanced around the bathroom and started twirling his fingers through the hot water
"Oh good evening Ryou, Let me get a nurse to check for you"
"Okay, thank you" Ryou replied softly as he heard low talking the other end of the call, sighing softly Ryou waited patiently
"Hello Ryou?"
"Y-Yes I'm still here"
"It seems that Mr Bakura is indeed still awake, did you wish to speak with him?" the nurse asked softly as Ryou let out a low sigh
"Yes please, if it isn't too much trouble"
"Of course it isn't, one moment please... Mr Bakura you have a call on line 3" The nurse said softly as she hung up, then seconds later the phone was answered again
"H-Hello?"
"B-Bakura-Sama?" Ryou whispered lowly as he sat up in the bath staring at the wall opposite him
"R-Ryou... is... t-that...you?" a low strangled voice spoke weakly as Ryou gasped and felt tears trickle down his cheeks
"Y-Yeah... H-how are you B-Bakura-Sama?"
"T-tired... H-how... are... you?"
"T-tired, though more exhausted"
"H-How... did... p-practice...go... R-Ryou?"
"I-It went well, V-very tiring and fun..." Ryou whispered as he gulped thickly and dryly before sighing, "B-Bakura I miss you"
"I... M-Miss... you... To... R-Ryou"
"I... s-should go, y-you need sleep" Ryou whispered weakly as he slowly reached forward for the shampoo
"P-Please... d-don't... go"
"Y-You need sleep 'Kura... a-and I need both hands to wash my hair"
"A-Are... y-you... in... the... B-bath?"
"Y-Yeah I am"
"O-Oh... w-why... not... p-put... me... on...L-Loudspeaker?" Bakura spoke lowly, his breathing heavy and ragged as he tried to speak. Pain shooting through his throat as Bakura struggled to sit up, placing his fingers over the Necklace he wore around his neck
"O-Okay... T-there on l-loudspeaker" Ryou said softly as he placed his phone on the side of the bath and quickly dunked under the water and got his hair wet thoroughly before squirting some shampoo into his hands
"S-so... R-Ryou...e-erm... W-what... made...you...want...to...call?"
"I wanted to hear your voice... I'm wearing the necklace you got me...t-thank you for it"
"Y-your...w-welcome...Tenshi"
"T-Tenshi?"
"It...M-means... Angel"
"O-oh... I'm no Angel Bakura-Sama" Ryou replied softly as he rinsed his hair thoroughly while sighing deeply as he heard a low chuckle echoing throughout the bathroom, "W-what is so funny?"
"n-nothing...Tenshi... Hang...o-on"
"Okay Bakura-Sama" Ryou whispered softly as he quickly went about getting washed and dressed as he could hear Bakura talking with one of the many doctors about not wanting to taking his medication as Ryou sighed and shook his head
"R-Ryou?"
"I'm still here B-Bakura-Sama"
"O-Okay... I... Just...h-had...to...t-take... my...s-sleeping...p-pills"
"I heard, y-you know B-Bakura-Sama you should really do what they t-tell you, y-you won't be able to l-leave if you don't"
"b-but... I...want...t-to...talk...w-with you"
"I know... b-but still B-Bakura-Sama" Ryou whispered as he rubbed himself down with a towel before wrapping it tightly around his waist and grabbing his things before picking up his phone and turning it back to a normal call
"R-Ryou...w-will... you...t-talk...with...me...till I... I... f-fall...asleep?"
"Yeah, I can. If that is what you want B-Bakura"
"It is..."
"Y-You seem to be able to talk a little better now"
"I k-know...s-slowly...little...by...little" Bakura spoke weakly as he chuckled lightly with a low groan, "S-shouldn't...of...done...t-that"
"No you shouldn't off, oh...bare with me I need to put my phone down" Ryou said softly as he heard Bakuras slight reply before putting his phone down and quickly getting dressed, as he grabbed for Bakuras tee-shirt and pulled it on with a weak sigh as he climbed into bed and reached for his phone, "B-Bakura-Sama?"
"I-I'm s-still...here" Bakuras low sleepy voice responded as Ryou sighed and curled up holding his phone tightly as he glanced at the time and smiled weakly before returning back to his conversation
"A-aren't you tired yet?"
"A...L-Little...t-these...drugs a-are...k-kicking in"
"I see, well let them... you need your s-sleep" Ryou replied yawning cutely as he stretched and rubbed at his eyes listening to Bakuras slow breathing, "B-Bakura-Sama?"
"..."
"S-sleep well 'Kura" Ryou whispered lowly as he laid there listening to Bakuras slow breathing and the occasional beeping of the heart monitor Ryou knew was beside the older males bed, sighing sweetly Ryou slowly closed his eyes and yawned once more before falling asleep to the sound of Bakuras breathing.
