I'm a righter


What will you do if you were once a spirit now blessed with a physical body?

Will you give into temptations that you thirsted for all those years? Smoking, drinking, and having sex with anything that moves? That's at the top of your 'to do' list, isn't it?

Will you have a job? No, you won't. You will pillage and plunder the dark city streets, taking the role of a modern day pirate. If anyone crosses your path, you won't think twice about slashing them across the face with your knife. Is that knife your only friend?

Shit, I was just joking, don't stab me!

You have to admit though, sex loses meaning without emotion.

Drinking seems more like a task than a treat. And you know that warm feeling that the alcohol leaves as it slides down your throat? You won't feel that anymore.

Smoking leaves your lungs black, perfect to match your heart.

No school, no job, no ambitions, no relationships. And no, having morning sex, with the same stranger you hooked up with last night, does not mean you tied the knot.

But the one thing you have on your side is that you're completely and utterly free. You're a thief and a rebel. In a way I envy you. When a thief wants something, he steals it. When a thief wants someone, even just to have sex, he steals their heart. Do you understand the concept of love?

No, you don't. "What's love?" you'll ask.

You'll soon find out, because this is your love story.

You, Bakura, are a hell of a guy.

Just remember one thing. On the first date, leave your knife at home.


A/N: I'm hoping to make this a fanfiction that stays true to the personalities of the characters. This is just a short intro, in a new style that I'm trying out. If anyone's interested I'll try to update as soon as possible.
