Return to Egypt

Chapter 4

Bakura woke the next morning only to find Yami standing in the doorway behind him. It took the two a while to get dressed, and to find someplace private to talk at, but when they did, Yami spoke first. "I know that we cannot use the medicines available to heal them, so, we're going to use our magic to help.", Yami explained, "Try any potions you can find that are supposed to cure certain things, and even if it only relieves Ryou for a little bit of some of his symptoms, keep giving it to him.",

"Take away his pain, is basically what you mean for me to do.", Bakura said.

"If that's the best we can do currently, then, yes.", Yami nodded, "Of course, you know what our last resort would be, right?",

"To return to their time.", Bakura replied.

Yami nodded, "I have cancelled all my meetings for today to try to save Yugi, and help you with Ryou the best I can, however, if worse comes to worse, I will have to get my High Priest Seth to find a way to get us back to Yugi's, and Ryou's time.", Yami explained.

"I can see why you would need his help, Yami, that is your decision to make when the time comes.", Bakura replied.

....

When Bakura came to check on Ryou he found that Ryou was weaker than he'd ever been since this all started. "Hang in there, Ryou, we'll find a way to make it through this.", Bakura said, his face softening into a slight smile, however, sad it was.

"I- I don't..... Think, I can.... Hang- on much, longer.... Bakura, sorry.", Ryou said, his eyes were agonizingly painful, "I'm sorry.",

"No, Ryou. Don't talk like that, you can make it.", Bakura said, "Promise me you'll make it.",

"I.... Can't.", Ryou said.

"Promise me!", Bakura desperately begged.

"I.... Don't know if I-", Ryou started.

"Promise! Ryou!....", Bakura felt the tears rolling down his cheeks, "I- I've finally realized..... How much, you- You mean to me, Ryou, you can't leave me- not now. Oh, God, not now.",

"I'm..... Sorry Ba... Ku... Ra....... I can....... Try", Ryou paused, "To...... Live through this, I'll try.", Ryou answered.

"That's not good enough! You have to promise that you will survive this!", Bakura exclaimed, "For me Ryou, please, just.... Promise me.",

"I.... I promise.", Ryou whispered.

Bakura stayed by Ryou's bedside until Ryou fell into a deep slumber, before leaving the soul rooms to return to the real world. He did so to find Yami Yugi walking quickly up to him, a worn, and serious, yet worried expression upon his normally unreadable face. "I have set up a private meeting with Seth this evening to discuss the attempt to go back to their time.", Yami simply said, "I am taking into thought that Ryou is not doing so well lately by the way you've slipped in and out of trances, and slumber, and yet, still carry yourself like you've had none at all.",

"As you, yourself seem to be at the moment.", Bakura shot back.

"I am, the only way to convince Seth to help us is to pay him greatly before hand, and guarantee that I will not return from the future ever again to this time.", Yami calmly spoke.

"I see, so you are worried about much more than just your friend Yugi, however, I am sure that is who mostly concerns you.", Bakura said.

"Yes.", Yami said, "If this does not work, then the two will die for sure.",

....

So, later that evening, Yami met with Seth, who just so happened knew of a spell that only worked once a year in a specific temple at a specific time of day. He told them that time would be two days from now, when the sun rises from the eastern skies.
