Chapter 3

Bakura looked away from Marik's death glare and shook his arm free. He sat down on one of the uncomfortable orange seats and buried his head into his hands.

~BAKURA'S POV~

Oh Ra what the hell is wrong with me? Why did I say that? How could I say that to Ryou? None of that was true, so why did I say it? Ryou………… I'm sorry………I'm sorry. Please … forgive me……… Ryou ………….

~Normal POV~

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Bakura looked up into Marik's dark lavender eyes and shook his head.

"I … don't know…… you don't understand………." How am I suppose to tell him that everyone I love has died in some sort of accident and I think it's because of me. Marik sat down next to Bakura and stared at the closed door.

"It's alright Ryou, it's ok. He doesn't mean it." Malik tried to comfort the sobbing boy but to no avail. Ryou's endless tears streamed down onto Malik's soaked shirt. Malik patted Ryou's back softly, all the while saying comforting words. Marik entered the room later on and motioned for Malik to come out. Mauve eyes looked down at the sleeping form in his arms. Reluctantly he placed Ryou down lightly on the bed and walked over to Marik.

"What is it?" He whispered, careful not to wake up the upset boy.

\\ Use the link \\

// You didn't need to tell me to come here then // Malik pouted slightly.

\\ How's Ryou? \\

// ……. Upset, depressed and …… heartbroken? // Malik leaned against the door frame and looked at his sleeping friend. What the hell is wrong with Bakura? How could he say that to Ryou? Anger started to boil up inside him, he poked his head out to see if Bakura was still there. He caught sight of the white haired fiend and started to storm towards him when Marik caught his arm.

\\ Let him be, he's having a hard time as well. \\ Angry lavender eyes glared at his yami.

// I don't care, it's his fault Ryou's hurt, he should feel bad. I'll personally send him to hell if he's feeling great about hurting his own hikari. // Malik took several deep breaths and calmed down.

\\ Feeling better now? I quite like the idea of sending someone to hell but not now. Let's help those two out first \\

// How? Are you certain Bakura has feelings for Ryou? This isn't going to work if he doesn't. And even if he does, I have no idea how to knock some sense into that hard skulled brain of his to tell Ryou that he loves him. Or do you have an idea? // Malik looked as his yami with hopeful eyes.

\\ No I don't. \\ They let out a sigh and started to think about how to help their distressed friends.

Bakura looked up from his hands and checked if anyone was around. He could see Marik and Malik standing at Ryou's door but apart from them no one was around. He sighed and disappeared into his soul room.

Bakura looked around his dark gloomy soul room and opened the ancient door. Opposite Bakura's soul room was Ryou's. Bakura opened the door and looked in. He came into Ryou's soul room often, but never when Ryou was awake. Nothing changes in Ryou's soul room, it's always neat. Bakura walked across the room and knelt down beside his sleeping hikari. The streams of tears had dried but it made Ryou look like he was still crying. Bakura felt a stab at his heart. This is all my fault. Bakura raised a hand a brushed the soft bangs from Ryou's face He looks so peaceful yet so upset just like … … Miza (A random name for Bakura's sister *~* )when Toosan died……

~Flashback ~

Two sorrowful figures walked towards the pond as the first rays of sunlight beamed over horizon of Egypt. The younger figure lowered his eyes and spoke up.

"Toosan lets go back. I don't want to leave Naogi with Bakura and Miza. What if something happened?" Tears threatened to fall from his eyes as he recalled how his mother had died. She was alone in the house when it went ablaze. The reason for the fire was never found. But the young figure knew it wasn't because Kaasan left something cooking over the fire. Kaasan is too careful to let that happen.

"They'll be fine. Besides Satoshi will help look after the Miza. Bakura and Naogi will be fine."

"Demo…… Let's catch some fish and hurry home." A horrible feeling was building up at the pit of his stomach. He dove into the pond but to his dismay, there wasn't a single fish in sight. He surfaced with a puzzle look. There were usually plenty of fish in this pond. He waited for his Toosan to surface. When he was met with a puzzled look he climbed back onto the bank.

"No wonder there aren't anyone else here. The whole village is usually here in the morning for fish. Let's head to the river. There might be some there." The young figure looked up at his toosan and nodded hesitantly.

The walk to the river wasn't long. When they arrived they saw the rest of the people of village there catching fish. Without hesitation the young figure dove in and searched for some fish. He surfaced and placed the fish into the bag they had brought with them. Couple of people saw him as he surfaced and came over to say how sorry they were that his mother died. He lowered his eyes as more people came over.

"Oniichan!" The young figure's head snapped up at his brother's voice. Oh no! Did something happen? Why's Bakura here? He saw his brother standing a few metres away and rushed over to him. He breathed a sigh of relief as he saw Naogi, Miza and Satoshi with him.

"What is it? I thought I told you guys to stay home." He gave Naogi a stern gaze.

"We were getting bored and it doesn't feel right in another house." Miza looked at the river and her eyes filled with tears. There was a loud rumble and the people in the river suddenly rushed up onto the bank. At the back of the crowd the young figure saw his toosan. The sickening feeling at the pit of the young figure's stomach returned. He rushed to help his father up but it was as if fate didn't want him to go help his toosan. The rushing villagers created a barrier between him and his toosan. A raging current suddenly swept down the river. The young figure stared horrified as his two brothers rushed to his side.

They searched the crowd for their toosan and found him at the back of the crowd on the ledge of the bank. He smiled at his sons and they all breathed a sigh of relief. They acted too soon. The crowd was in a panic and as people rushed and pushed each other, a strong hand swept back and knocked the Toosan into the raging currents of the river.

Miza let out a scream as she watched her toosan fall into the river. She started to run towards the river but Satoshi held back incase she fell in as well. She screamed at Satoshi to let go but her brother's friend held onto her tightly.

The three boys shoved their way through the crowd and leaned over the bank, searching for their father. The young figure let out a cry as he spotted his father and pointed a shaking finger at a figure being swept downstream by the violent currents. Bakura, being the youngest and also the one that doesn't think before acting, dove into the strong surge of water and swam, got swept, downstream towards his father. Onegai, please be ok Toosan. Onegai. We've already lost Kaasan. We can't lose him aswell. The two brothers stared shocked at Bakura. The distance between Bakura and their Toosan was shortening. They rushed along the bank to their father as Satoshi, carrying a lashing Miza, joined them. Satoshi eyes widened as he saw his best friend in the surging river. That baka, what does he think he's doing. He won't be able to save his father that way. Oh Ra please let them be ok.

The flaying five year old girl in Satoshi's arms freezed and sparkling tears rushed down her face. Satoshi stopped dead in his tracks, his mouth dropped in disbelieve. Naogi dropped to his knees and screamed out in anguish. The young figure, Ren, fell down beside his crying brother and let out a cry of despair. Bakura, stopping all attempts to catch up to his father, mouthed the words no again and again. The raging currents seemed to have lost its rage and slowed down to the calm tranquil river it was when the first rays of sunlight beamed down on its reflecting surface. The toosan lay unmoving on a jagged rock after being bashed into it by the surge of rushing water, blood leaking from his wounds.

Recovering from his shock Bakura swam as fast as he could to his injured toosan. He softly moved his toosan off the jagged rock and swam towards the bank, dragging the still body with him. Satoshi put the crying girl down next to Naogi and rushed to help Bakura get his toosan onto the bank.

Sparkling tears ran down Bakura's face mixing with the river water. Ren, Naogi and Miza made their way to the motionless figure lying on the hot desert sand. Satoshi felt for a pulse and pushed down on his stomach, trying to get the water out incase he drowned. Blood continued to leak out, mostly from the head. Satoshi looked at Bakura with sorrowful eyes and shook his head weakly as tears feel down his tanned face.

They carried the body home and buried it next to their kaasan. Satoshi stayed with his grief-stricken friends and did his best to comfort them. Miza wept until she had no more tears and fell asleep in Bakura's arms. Her pale face streaked with dried tears.

~End of Flashback~

Ryou rolled over and started to stir. Bakura got up and made for the door. He was closing the door when he heard Ryou utter a name in his sleep.

"Bakura."

Bakura slammed the door shut once he entered his soul room. He materialized in the real world, fortunately no one walked passed. He could hear Malik and Marik but they were no longer standing at the door. The doctor turned around the corner and walked towards Ryou's room. He spotted Bakura sitting on the seat and asked him why he was sitting outside when Ryou needed help. Bakura's head snapped up. What's wrong with Ryou? He rushed for the door, the doctor stood staring at where Bakura was a second a go.

Inside Ryou's room Malik and Marik were trying to wake Ryou up. Sweat had broken out on his forehead and he was muttering something. He rolled to side to side. His hands were clenched into tight fists, clutching the bedsheets. At first Malik thought he was having a bad dreaming and tried to wake him up but when his words and actions seemed to be useless he got Marik to call for the doctor. Bakura burst in through the door and took one look at Ryou and disappeared into his soul room. Malik and Marik stood next to Ryou's bed waiting for the doctor. Marik glared at the doctor as he walked in. How can someone be so slow?

The doctor stood at the door and wore a puzzled look on his face. He looked around the room for the other white haired figure but couldn't find him. Malik took one look at the doctor and lost his patience.

"What the hell is wrong with you. You take ages to get here and when you get here you stand there looking puzzled. You've got a patient to look at you know!!!!!!"

Malik's words brought the doctor back to reality and he rushed over to Ryou's side.

Bakura rushed into Ryou's soul room and tried to wake up the squirming Ryou.

He opened his side of the link so he can find out what's troubling Ryou.

|| Ryou, what's wrong, wake up.|| Ryou's thoughts and images started to pour through their link.

Smoke covered the blazing red sky. The young boy pushed through the crowd, content on finding out what was happening. He started to panic as he neared his house and saw his father and sister crying useless tears. 'No! Where's mother?!' The whole house was engulfed in vicious flames. People tried to stop him as he ran towards the burning house but he made his way into the flaming house. Red flames licked out around him but he pressed on determined to find his mother.

Bakura sat down on the bed and started to shake Ryou lightly, the dream should end soon. Bakura started to wonder why Ryou was dreaming about his past but placed it aside in his mind, too worried about whether Ryou was ok.

|| Ryou, are you alright? Wake up.||

The doctor tried all he could to wake up the boy but to no avail. Malik and Marik stood at the bedside getting more anxious with each passing second.

The sleeping boy suddenly stopped squirming. He loosened his grip on the bedsheets. One of his hands went up to his forehead and brushed away the bangs. His eyes slowly fluttered open.

"Kura, where Bakura?" Tears started to run down his face over the trails of the dried ones. Malik instantly went to Ryou's side.

"What's wrong, Ryou?" Ryou shook his head and tried to get off the bed. The doctor stopped him.

"You're not going anywhere. You're fever has gone, true, but we need to run a check on you to make sure nothing was harmed. Fever's can be extremely dangerous. Now sit back on the bed while your friends here get you something to wear." Ryou looked down and found out he was only wearing his boxers. A blush crept up onto his face. Malik chuckled at his friend and started follow the doctor out of the door.

"Malik, where's Bakura?"

"I'm not sure, he came in when you were having that dream and disappeared into thin air…..Check his soul room. "

Bakura locked his door and sat in his dark gloomy soul room, keeping his side of the link closed.
