Chapter 4

Ryou lay down on the soft bed and stared at the ceiling. Bakura never told me about his past. But that dream, I'm sure it was real. How though? I'm going to talk to Bakura, whether he likes it or not. Ryou closed his eyes and enter his soul room. As he stood in front of Bakura's door he hesitated before trying to open it. I knew he'll lock it. I guess I have to try the link.

=Bakura?= The link was also blocked. Ryou sighed in frustration.

"Can't you just open the door?! I need to talk to you!"

Bakura's head jerked up at Ryou's outburst. I'm sorry Ryou, but I don't want to talk right now, I need to think. Bakura ignored Ryou and disappeared from his soul room. He appeared in his dark bedroom at home, and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling. I shouldn't leave Ryou by himself at the hospital. He pondered on whether to go back to the hospital or stay here where he knew he wouldn't be interrupted. Rolling to his side his face met with the black duvets. Getting up he headed to Ryou's room. Oh, Malik's gonna come and get some clothes for Ryou, I forgot about that. Guess I'll go back to the hospital then. Walking out into the chilly night (not sure what time it is, say somewhere around 3), he headed slowly for the hospital, making sure he didn't clash into Malik and Marik.

Ryou was peacefully sleeping when Bakura entered the room. Bakura sat down in the chair he sat on earlier in the day and looked at Ryou's passive face. Placing his arms softly on the bed and resting his head on them he started to go over all the possibilities for Ryou to dream of his past. His eyes soon started to droop, as hard as he fought to keep them open, sleep still took over.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Early the next morning, Malik and Marik quietly pushed the door open. The sun rays (yeah I know I have an obsession with the sun :P) shown through the gap in the curtains and onto the two sleeping figures. Placing the bag of clothes they had got for Ryou on the couch, they softly retreated and sat down on the seats outside Ryou's room.

\\ They looked so sweet.\\

//uh huh//

\\ What's wrong aibou? \\

// I'm just ……*stifling a yawn* …. tired ….. it's been a long day //

\\ You want to go home and get some rest? \\

// Nah, I'll just sleep here. Wake me up when Ryou is free.// Leaning against Marik's shoulder, he soon fell asleep. Marik draped an arm over his aibou and closed his eyes to grab some rest himself.

Not long after the two blonds left the room, Bakura woke up. Lifting his head he sighed in relief when he found Ryou still peacefully sleeping next to him. He noticed the bag of clothing on the couch and got up. Opening the door he found the two tanned boys sleeping on the seats. Bakura made his way to the nurse's station and asked when Ryou would be let out of the hospital. The brown haired nurse at the station looked grumpily through the files all the while complaining about how Bakura was so early in the morning. Bakura, totally unaware of the time until hearing the nurses complaint, looked at the clock on the wall. What's she complaining about, it's already seven thirty. Ryou would probably be heading to school now. Crossing his arms, he waited impatiently for the nurse to sort out the files.

"He can leave in two days if nothing happens." Not bothered to say thank you, Bakura headed back for Ryou's room. Without knocking, not wanting to wake up Ryou, Bakura opened the door and slipped in, closing the door behind him. He froze when he saw Ryou changing. Ryou was pulling on a pair of jeans but stopped when he found Bakura at the door. Blushing, he turned around and finished putting on his jeans. Bakura turned around so he and Ryou were facing back to back, a blush creeping onto his cheeks as well.

"Um, I didn't mean to walk in on you like that."

"Oh… that's ok." Ryou slipped on a top and told Bakura he could turn around now. Regaining his composure Bakura turned around and saw what Ryou was wearing.

"You might want to change out of that and into your pjs. The nurse said you will be staying here for at least two days. " Ryou pouted.

"But I'm fine." Bakura wasn't completely sure he wanted Ryou to stay in hospital for another two days but was more worried about Ryou's health.

"I'll let you get changed." His hand was on the door knob when he paused. "I'm sorry for yelling at you last night." And he left the room and closed the door with a click.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Two days later, Malik and Marik helped Ryou pack up his stuff and got ready to leave. Bakura leaned against the wall outside the room. That Yugi and the rest of them didn't come visit, or call to ask what was wrong with Ryou. That's strange, I thought they were good friends with Ryou. Pushing off the wall, Bakura stepped into the room to see if they were ready.

Ryou stumbled over some invisible object, Bakura moved forward to hold him, but Malik was quicker as he was closer. He led Ryou to the bed and sat him down.

"Are you ok?" Malik placed a hand on Ryou's forehead.

"Your fever's coming back. I'll go call a doctor." Malik headed for the door. He was nearly out of the door when Ryou stopped him.

"I'm fine. I don't want to get kept in the hospital for another day." He smiled his trademark smile and Malik gave in. Bakura however furrowed his eyebrows with concern.

"I think we should get the doctor to check on you anyway." Ryou looked over at Bakura with sad eyes, smile swiped from his face.

"Let him be Bakura, he'll know more about himself than you." Marik placed a hand on Bakura's shoulders. "Let's go." Picking up Ryou's baggage, the four left the hospital and headed home.

Once they stepped into the house, Bakura made sure Ryou got his temperature taken. Malik looked at the thermometer.

"He's only a bit higher than normal. Bakura you worry too much." Sitting casually on the couch next to Marik, Bakura nodded then glared at Malik. Ryou was sitting on the other couch and smiled brightly. Bakura cares, he cares! And he said sorry for what he said before. His smile widen and he got up to make lunch. Malik stood in his way and guided Ryou to his room.

"Get some sleep. I'll bring you some pills for your fever. Don't worry about lunch, I'll make sure we're fed." Giving Ryou a wink and he walked out of his room, leaving Ryou sitting sweatdropping on his white bed. The last time he cooked here…… I better go stop him. As Ryou reached the stairs, he stopped in his tracks. Bakura was walking up the stairs, deep in thought when he saw Ryou's slippers. Looking up he narrowed his eyes at his hikari.

"Go to bed. You're not going anywhere or doing anything until you're feeling better."

"I'll go to bed if you make sure Malik…" Clashes were heard in the kitchen, something fell onto the floor and broke. Bakura nodded knowingly, "I'll make sure he doesn't burn down the house. Now go to bed. We'll bring lunch up for you." With that, he headed down the stairs to stop Malik from causing havoc.

Several nights later, Malik and Marik sat in Ryou's lounge watching TV. Malik's head rested on his yami's shoulder, Marik's arms wrapped protectively around his aibou. They had stayed at Ryou's place to help look after Ryou. Bakura was washing the dishes in the kitchen while Ryou was asleep in his comfy bed. As Bakura headed up the stairs he turned off the TV cause his two friends were sound asleep. He checked Ryou's room to make sure he was sleeping soundly before walking in his own room.

Ryou's going to go back to school tomorrow. He seems fine enough, I hope nothing happens. I should leave for awhile, it's been so hard to keep this mask on and I don't want any harm to come to Ryou. Malik can look after him while I'm gone.

Moving around the room, he collected some stuff and stuffed it in a bag. He slung it over his shoulder and made his way downstairs.

Maybe I should wait until Ryou leaves for school tomorrow, say my good byes.Retracing his steps back to his room he placed his bag in the wardrobe and went to bed.

The next morning Bakura ate his last breakfast made by Ryou (for the while) silently. Pulling Malik to one side so Ryou couldn't hear he asked Malik to look after Ryou.

"Don't worry, it's only school, nothing can happen to him." Malik replied, mistaking Bakura's request. Oh well, he'll figure it out soon enough.

"Itekimasu." The two hikaris charmed before they sped down the streets on Malik's bike. Watching Ryou's disappearing form, Bakura ran up to his room, grabbed his bag and started to leave.

"Where are you going with that? Don't tell me you're leaving. " Marik stood in the doorway, blocking Bakura from going.

"That's my business, now get out of the way." He tried to shove Marik aside but the tanned figure didn't budge.

"It's pretty obvious you like Ryou, so why are you leaving? And the cold mask? "

Bakura tried again to get Marik to move, sighing in defeat he started to voice his problems.

"You see, every person I have truly loved before has died."

"Well of , have you forgotten you've been locked in the ring for millenniums? And everyone dies."

"No, you idiot, I don't' mean that. Accidents always befalls the people I love, I don't want Ryou to get hurt so I'm going to keep my distance." Marik leaned against the wall and looked thoughtfully at Bakura.

"You're paranoid." Marik would've laughed at Bakura if he didn't look serious.

"You'll still like him so how is leaving going to…" Marik was interrupted by the ringing of the phone. Bakura walked into the lounge and picked up the phone, afraid it was Malik telling him that something had happened to Ryou.

"Hello?" He replied gingerly.

"Bakura, it's Ishizu."

"Oh Ishizu, when did you come back? I thought you left a few weeks ago." Marik's head jerked up at his aibou's sister's name, panic filled his eyes. Bakura let out a sigh of relief.

"I arrived here this morning. I came back so early because I … I … found something you need to know. Could you come over to Malik's place? It's urgent." Her solemn voice made Bakura's heart do a somersault in his chest.

"I'll come straightaway…. Is this something bad?"

"…Yes….you might want to tell Ryou you'll be gone for a few days aswell….Is Marik there…. If he is, tell him to come, he might be able to help. I need to contact Yami now; I'll see you at my place. "

"Why is Yami involved in this?" Hatred seeping through his words.

"You'll find out when you get here……… One last thing and you have to answer me honestly; do you have any feelings for Ryou?"

"……um……Yes I do…. This concerns Ryou as well?" New concern flooded his heart.

"Yes, but he doesn't need to come. How long have you liked Ryou? Forget I asked, just come quickly." With that she hung up leaving Bakura holding the receiver and beeping sounds filling his ears.
