A/N:AAAHHH I am soooo sorry don't hate me please! This took forever to update! I've just been so busy with school and various activities, that I totally forgot about this story! I've left you guys hanging for long enough! Finally I will update it! Finally, finally, finally! Now I just need to write it!
Oh! And byyyyeee the wayyeeee! I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Or Marik and Bakura. Or Ishizu for that matter.
One more thing! After this I'm done I promise. I would like to thank all my reviewers and followers! You guys reminded me to post this new chapter! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Now I am done.
~Bakura's POV~
I hate waiting. Waiting for Marik to wake up. Waiting for answers. Waiting for Ishizu to stop staring at me like she can see into my soul. I'm convinced she can. My knee bounces impatiently, causing the chair I'm sitting in to make infuriating squeaking noises. They're almost as infuriating as the fact that HE IS STILL BLOODY ASLEEP.
"Why are you watching my brother sleep?" Ishizu asks me in a smooth tone.
"Well, what else have I to do?!" I snap at her. She seems taken aback, but I don't care.
It turns out that a raised voice was all it took to wake Marik.
"Hmnin?" he mumbles.
"Finally!" I say as a stride over to him, "what kept you?" There is no longer any anger in my tone; just my signature sarcasm and smirk.
"I d-dinint w-wanna wake uuuup," the Egyptian groans.
"Well you are going to have to, because you have some explaining to do." I tell him.
"Don't push him while he's still half asleep," Ishizu reprimands me, like she has any right.
"N-no 'Shizu its fine," Marik sits up and stretches his arms, "what d-do you n-need me t-to explain?"
"What you said before…" just the thought of those words makes a blush begin to creep up my neck again.
"Uuummm… what d-did I say?" Marik gives me a confused look.
"That you… you um…. Oh bloody hell." I look away quickly. Why can't I bring myself to repeat his words?! It's infuriating.
"What?" he is only becoming more confused. Ishizu decided to tell Marik for me.
"Marik, you told your secret," she smirks. Hey, that's my thing, I think.
Marik's eyes widen in realization.
"Oh, d-did I-I-I say th-that?" he stammers.
"Yes. Yes you did." I tell him, still not turning to look him in the eyes.
"Oh…" he looks up at the ceiling. "W-well um…"
A very long, awkward silence follows.
It is very long indeed. That is, until Ishizu decides to break it.
"Marik are you feeling alright enough to go?" she says.
"Y-yes. Yes I am." He, of course, gets off on the same side I am standing on, and stands quite unsteadily. Instinctively, I grab onto his shoulders to keep him from falling over.
"Th-thanks," he smiles. I smirk back.
~Marik's POV~
My heart leaps when Bakura catches me. It leaps again when he decides to leave his arm around me as we walk out of my hospital room. As we wait for Ishizu to sign me out of the place, he takes be out into the hallway.
"So you… about what you said earlier…" the Brit begins, taking his arm off my shoulders to face me.
"Y-ya that…" I reply, looking at the floor like it's the most interesting thing in the entire world.
"You... meant it right?" he asks me.
"O-of course I m-meant it." I'm getting more nervous, and the floor is getting more interesting. I ponder the carpet design.
"Well, we won't have time to do anything like we planned, so I think I'll get right to the point," he says matter-of-factly.
"The-the point?" I look up, and realize Bakura's smirking lips are not even an inch away from mine.
~Ishizu's POV~
The boys must have thought it would take far more time than it did for me to check Marik out of the hospital, because when I went out to get them, they were having a private conversation. I, being Marik's older sister, couldn't help but listen in. They sounded absolutely adorable. I turned the corner to get a peek at the two. I saw Bakura lean very close to Marik, Marik looked up, and Bakura kissed him.
"Oh would you look at that," I said as they broke their kiss and turned to me, blushing furiously. "Come on boys I'll drive you both home" I chuckled. I didn't turn around, but I know that as they followed me outside to the car, they held each other's hand.
A/N: I'm going to end the story here! Thanks so much for reading it and I hope you liked it. Review please; I love hearing from you guys. I'm so glad I finally got this story done! I'm going to go do a little happy dance now! YAAAAAAYY! Happy happy joy joy! ^-^
