Arachnid

Chapter 24

Before either of them could do that three people came rushing through the door. Ryou and Malik jumped seeing it was unexpected.

“Gramps! Seto, Jou how’d you hear?”

“When we heard your plane disappeared and you three were presumed dead we came back to consol gramps. He called us just after the hospital called and we picked him up and came here immediately.”

“Yugi would appreciate you looking after him.”

“I know that. Where is he?” Seto said.

“In intensive care. No one is able to see him at the moment. We have to wait; he’s in a critical condition.”

“I have some things to deal with.” Seto said before disappearing.

Ryou and Malik smiled along with Jou and Gramps. They all knew what he was doing. It was his friend after all. Jou and Gramps pulled up a chair each and sat between the two boys.

“So what happened?” Jou asked.

“We’ll tell you only part of it. The rest we’ll explain when Yugi wakes up and when we all get of here.”

Ryou and Malik started taking turns talking till they got to the morning where Yami, Bakura and Marik kidnapped them, also leaving out the part where Malik thought he saw someone. They could tell that Jou and Gramps were creeped out about the passengers and crew that went missing. Seto just showed no response to what they had said since he came back into the room.

“You know that Yugi will be upset that we caused your holiday to end so soon.” Ryou said softly.

“I know that but your safety is more important. I had been going through flight plans trying to figure out where you were but could never find anything.” Seto said.

“Yeah, he was working close to non-stop. If I hadn’t dragged him away from the computer at night he’d be up all night working, trying to find you.”

Ryou giggled while Malik just smiled. There was a knock at the door before the doctor walked in.

“It seems that Mr Motou’s condition is improving dramatically and you will be able to visit him tomorrow. Do not think that Mr Kaiba’s money has anything to do with my words because it doesn’t. Mr Motou is really recovering well. I suggest that you three go home and get some sleep, seeing visiting hours are closing and come back tomorrow morning. I will keep a close watch on Mr Motou’s condition and advise you if things deteriorate.”

Gramps nodded along with Seto, Jou, Ryou and Malik. The doctor then left the room leaving them to say goodbye for the night and them head out. Gramps walked over to Ryou and gently hugged him before going to Malik. He considered the boys family like he did with Jou and Seto.

“You both take it easy and we’ll see you in the morning.”

“We will night gramps. See you three tomorrow.”

Jou and Seto said their goodbyes before leaving the room and closing the door. Bakura and Marik climbed out from under the bed and onto Malik’s leg.

“You plan to tell about us tomorrow don’t you?”

“Yes, not that you both are spiders. Not here in the hospital. Just that you are three people we met at the airport. We’ll explain the spider part once we leave the hospital.”

Bakura and Marik looked at each other before nodding and heading back under. Ryou and Malik laughed softly before moving and resting under the covers.

”I’m going to turn the light off now you guys.” Malik said.

“Yeah go ahead.” Marik called.

Malik looked at Ryou who was nearly asleep and smiled before turning off the light. Malik curled up under the covers to go to sleep. Malik felt something crawl across his neck and sit on the side of his neck.

“Goodnight Malik.”

Malik smiled and slowly fell asleep. Ryou had already fallen asleep and Bakura was sitting on his pillow watching him for a bit before crawling back across to where Yami was staying. He wasn’t too well but the bleeding had stopped which was a good thing.

“You ok?”

“Yeah I’m fine Bakura. Get some sleep we all need it.”

Bakura nodded and attached himself to the wall before falling asleep. Yami soon followed and Marik up Malik’s neck had also fallen asleep.

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

The next morning Marik was there when the nurse came in and screamed causing all occupants in the room to wake up with a jump. Malik watched as she came at him with fly spray.

“Hey, hey, hey don’t spray that at me.” He shouted.
