Brother of mine
Chapter 1- a lonely angel
----------------------------------
Ryou try to focus on where he was walking… but everything was so blurred… he couldn't even stop crying, why did this have to happen all the time? He was so tired of it… each weekend… his brother Bakura would tell him to cover for him… while he was out with one of his girlfriends… but their father would hit him all night for not telling… then yell at Bakura for leaving at night time… then… the next day… Bakura would yell at Ryou… because he tought he had told their father… and sometime… when Bakura was really pissed of… he would give Ryou a fair beating to… since he didn't know Ryou had been beaten all night…
"Why me?" Ryou sob, and fall down on his bed… shaking like mad, while the tears keept falling… he didn't have much strenght left… Ryou grab a little plush doll he got from Bakura when they was little… it was shaped like Bakura, so he had always held unto it… he was so found of his brother… but… Bakura never knew…
The door opens… and Bakura look in… spoting Ryou on the bed… Ryou had never shown Bakura how hard he had been hurt all the time… so Bakura had never seen Ryou's regular throwing up of blood… he never knew how much Ryou was hurt…
"Um… Ryou… I'm sorry I hit you again…" Bakura whisper, and sit down on the bedside… it was to dark for him to see the blood flowing from Ryou's mouth… "Hey… can you forgive me little brother? You know I don't hate you…?"
"Yes…" Ryou whisper… avoiding to get blood on his doll… he loved Bakura so much. "Can you… sing to me? Like when we were small?"
Bakura nod… and start singing gently:
When the night skies open
The bright stars twinkle
I've been living in the dark
Like a piercing dream in my mind
I shall not forget.
You, by whom this closed heart has been opened
Today's goodbye is the beginning of tomorrow
Even if we take separate paths now
We shall arrive at the same place...
Even if we had ran into each other
Call it a miracle
For we can be proud of all the days
We ran together
I shall walk.
Taking the never-fading star of this heart
Surely a goodbye is not a period
If I go on and climb the everlasting hill
I shall meet you again...
Today's goodbye is the beginning of tomorrow
If in my mind, I shall be beside you
Surely a goodbye is not a period
Even if we take separate paths now
we shall arrive at one place...
That is so A goodbye is the beginning of everything
Because anyone, everyone is in the middle of a journey
That is so A goodbye is not a period
If I go on and climb the everlasting hill
Someday we shall meet...
Bakura smile, as Ryou dozed of… he didn't know why he always hit him… it had to be all the booze he always let cloud his mind… he hated it when he suddenly snaped into reality… and Ryou was qvivering on the floor…
"Good night little brother…" He sigh, before walking to his own room…
---------------------next day------------------
Ryou just look at the wall, while Bakura was talking to Marik and Malik… he himself felt like a nuiesence… but Bakura always told him to come along with them and the others… Yugi, Yami, Joey and Tea… but they were always talking about the parties.. he had never gone… since Bakura told him to stay home and cover for him…
"So Ryou… do you want to come to the party tonight?" Yugi ask, and smile to him.
"Yeah, I bet Bakura could hook you up with some hoe chick or something." Marik laugh, grabing Malik. "I have my big hoe here."
"Let me go Marik!" Malik giggle, he loved the attetion Marik gave him… he just hated the call names… "You should come Ryou… it will be fun."
"I… can't…" Ryou whisper, and look down… "Maybe some other time…"
One other reason he didn't want to go… he didn't want to see his brother with one of his girlfriends… they always said things like… ´Oh… your little brother is so cute… how old is he? Nine, ten? but… what Bakura always answerd was worse…Nah… he is 16… but don't mind my little whimp of a brother… he is only in the way… then Ryou would me chased out of the room…
"I have to go to the bathroom…" Ryou whisper, as he felt his throuth stearing up… and he ran of… just getting behind the corner before he started coughing… blood spilling over the hand he used to cover his mouth with… then he lean against the wall… clutching his chest… it hurted all the time… from all the punches… he couldn't go to a doctor.. they would ask to much… maybe force him to leave Bakura… he didn't want to do that… Ryou get to his feets again… walking to the bathroom… where he throw up blood again… he felt so horrible… but he didn't want to leave Bakura…. Then the bell ring… as he fell to his knees… he could just skip this class… then come back to the next… he couldn't go to class now… he didn't even feel like getting up to his feets…
---------------inside the class room---------------
"Bakura… are you sure Ryou got to his class?" Yami ask… "I didn't see him get back…"
"Don't worry, I bet he is ok… he drank much Coke this morning… so he probably had to be in the bathroom for a while…" Bakura complain… why had that damn headhodge always butt in?
"Hey Bakura… I agree with him…" Marik point out… "You never seem to care much for that damn sissy… he will end up like one of those damn butt kissers if you don't take him to at least one party…"
"He already have a purpose… he is supposed to watch my back at home!" Bakura yell anyoed… now even Marik was against him… "OK! I'll ask if he want's to… if not… don't even bring this up again!"
---------------------That night---------------
Ryou grab his Bakura plushie, and lay down in his bed… he had said no to Bakura… he didn't want to come and s hear him say he was only a coward… he did never want to hear that again!
"Ryou! Where is your damn brother now again?!"
Ryou hide under his blanket… now he would get beaten again… he couldn't take much more… if he only dared tell Bakura…but he would only call him a coward…
"Answer me when I ask you something!" His father yell, and draw of him the blanket, before hitting him towards the wall. "Where are your damn brother?"
"I don't know…" Ryou whisper, trying to get up again… but his father only grab him by the pyjamas, and throw him into the living room… "I don't… know… please… don't hit me anymore… I don't know…"
Ryou was lying… he… always knew where Bakura was… he was always telling him… but… he didn't want Bakura to hate him…
"Damn little ungratefull brat!" He yell, kicking Ryou in the chest… "I don't know why I didn't throw you both out when your mother died… you little murderer…"
Ryou curl into a ball to protect himself… but his father continued kicking him… Ryou and Bakura's mother had died… when giving Ryou birth, that was why their father hated Ryou so much… and he tought Bakura reminded to much of him…
"It wasn't my fault…" Ryou sob…as a hard kick hit his head… and everything blur to him again… "I… It… wasn't… my fault…"
"Damn faggot…" His father growl… kicking him in the chest one more time… but walk of as the phone call… "Yes? Bakura? No… he is out… were you wondering about something Yugi-kun? If the party was held at Marik's place? I don't know… sorry…"
Ryou try to focus… as his father got his coath and car key's… oh no… he was going to get Bakura… if he tought it was him who had told their father… he would hate him forever… he just couldn't tell on Yugi either… Ryou get to his feets… walking slowly to his room… he should get into hiding if he didn't want more beating now…
----Later-------------
Bakura curse to his father, before walking into the house… hitting hard on Ryou's door… he was so going to kill him now… that was the most humiliating thing he had been trough…
"You damn traitor! Just you wait! I'm not going to let you cover for me ever again! Damn piece of shit!" Bakura yell, before walking to his own room… avoiding his father's satisfied look… "And you can just wipe that smile of… sick old bastard… when I'm old enough, I'm gonna leave the both of you!"
Ryou just lay on his bed and cry… he hated it when his dad yelled at him… but… to have Bakura say those words hurted so much more… so much more… Ryou look at the Bakura plushie… he loved Bakura so much… why did he have to do that? Why? WHY? Ryou's whoule stomac twist… and blood splatter over his plushie… but Ryou keep it close… as he throw up more blood than ever… it felt like his father had smashed his whole chest… he… had to ask for help… he had to…
Bakura turn away… as he could hear Ryou enter his room…
"Big brother… I… " Ryou whimper… clutching his chest… as he found it almost imposible to breath…
"Just get the hell out!" Bakura yell, ready to throw the CD player at him… "I do not want to see you ever again! You damn liar! Get out of my sight… you make me sick!"
Ryou turn… and walk out again… Bakura really hated him… he didn't want that… he couldn't bear that… Ryou open the door to his own room again… closing the door… before collapsing on the floor… he… used all his last powers to walk into Bakura's room… he… couldn't do anything else now…tears hit the floor… mangling with the flowing blood… no one would miss him… and both Bakura and his father would be happier without him… he was only a nuisence to everyone..
-------------End chapter 1-------------
I know I'm a little evil to Ryou... but he is the easiest to do it against....
