Chapter 1

The rain just kept falling. Ryou hugged his pillow tighter, pulling the blankets close around his small frame. Each soft tap of the rain joined together, making a soothing lullaby. 'It's like angels are crying for me…' Ryou said to himself. 'It always seems to rain when I'm sad or hurting…' Ryou closed his tired eyes. Bakura had beat him yet again right after school. It was like a daily routine: Get up, go to school, get picked on by bullies after school lets out, and then come home to get beat by Bakura. This was his life, his own personal hell...

Flashback/

Ryou opened the door to his house "Bakura, I'm home…Bakura?" He looked around for any sight of his Yami "hmmm…he must still be out" A small smile formed on his delicate features

"Glad to see how happy you are to think I'm gone" He walked out from the corner he was in and grabed a handful of Ryou's silvery, white hair

He screamed as Bakura started to slap him, as well as kick him "No, please stop it Yami!" Ryou choked out a sob

Bakura kicked him in the ribs once again "You weak, stupid brat!" He kicked him again before picking him up by his collar and slamming him against the wall "Next time, it will be MUCH worse…" He dropped his hikkari and walked off to his room

/End Flashback/

"So much for getting to spend the weekend with Yugi…" More tears fell down his porcelain cheeks, staining the flawless alabaster skin, as he hugged the pillow even tighter. "Why…why does he have to be like this…" He asked out loud, hoping for some sort of answer. The only response was a loud pounding at the front door.

Well are you going to get it or not! Bakura said harshly through their linked minds.

Ryou flinched, the loudness of Bakura's voice making his already hurting head pound even more. Might as well…

He got up from the warmth of his bed and padded his way to the door, his sides still stinging from where Bakura kicked him earlier. He unlatched the locks and opened the door.

Malik pushed his way in, knocking Ryou down in the process. He didn't pay any attention to he hurt boy as he made his way through the living room and over to the stairs. "Bakura! Hurry up asshole! We're going to be late!"

"Shut up! I'm coming!" Bakura made his way down the stairs, the black leather of his pants making little noises as he walked. He had changed into a black button-up shirt that was mostly undone, showing off his semi-tanned skin, as well as his black boots. His silver Ankh chain hung from around his neck.

Ryou blushed a bit at the sight of his Yami, but he turned his face quickly, making sure neither of them saw. He got up from the floor and walked over to the stairs, limping a bit from the pain he was in.

As he started to climb the stairs, Bakura grabed on to Ryou's right, upper arm harshly. "Listen to me brat, if I find out that you left this house you will regret it, got it!"

Ryou just nodded, but then cried out as pain lanced up his arm.

Bakura's grip tightened. "Answer me slave!"

"Y...yes…"

Bakura let go of Ryou, but made sure that he pushed the boy against the wall harshly, before he walked out the door with Malik, both of them laughing as he slammed it behind him.

Ryou sat at the bottom of the stairs for a bit, just starting at the front door. His tears began to fall again 'Why can't he be like Yugi's Yami? Why can't I feel loved…' He rubbed his puffy eyes with his shirtsleeve, before walking up the stairs to his room.

He went over to his desk and booted up his computer. He signed on and pulled up his livejournal account. 'How many times have I written in this journal…about how much pain I'm in, the sadness, and fear and hatred I have felt…and also…how no matter what my Yami does to me, I'll always love him'

He began to write yet another entry in his journal when a bleeping noise was heard, and an IM window opened up. "Huh?"

MageFire202: Ryou? Hey! Are you still coming over tomorrow?

DarkInnocence: Sorry Yugi…I can't…

MageFire202: No way! But I rented us some movies and everything…I even asked Grandpa if we could set up the X box in the living room so we could play the new Duel Monsters game.

DarkInnocence: I'm really sorry Yugi…but…Bakura wont let me…

MageFire202: I see…well let me know if anything changes…I really wana have you over this weekend…we never get to hang out anymore…

DarkInnocence: I'll see what I can do…I so want to come over!

MageFire202: Ok, see you a school tomorrow, g2g grandpa needs to get on. G'night!

DarkInnocence: Goodnight Yugi!

Bakura opened the front door. He and Malik had gone back to Malik's house instead of the clubs like usual. He closed the door silently behind him; he then walked up the stairs, making his way over to his room. He stopped in front of Ryou's halfway opened bedroom door. He looked in and found Ryou asleep at his computer.

He walked over to him, looking at his Hikkari's sleeping features. He smiled a bit at the slumbering boy before gently picking him up. As he moved him, the computer mouse moved and the monitor turned on from sleep mode. He laid his Hikkari on the bed, and tucked him in, before walking over to the computer and sitting down in front of it.

"What's this?" He whispered to himself as he looked at the posted journal entry. He began to read it:

Subject: Another day, another entry

Current Music: 'Rainy Days Never Stay' by: The Brilliant Green

Hey,

It's me again…heh…like it would be anyone else. Today was yet another sad and depressing day, it's also been raining all afternoon. Bakura just left a bit ago with Malik, perhaps to go out drinking…again Well either way…he'll just end up beating me again. I know this sounds absurd…but if that's the only way I get to feel him touch me...if that's the only way…then I guess I don't mind it too much. I admit it hurts a lot…but it's worth it if that's the only touch I'll get from the man I love. I just wish he could love me, the way I love him. No mater how much he hurts me, yells at me, and calls me worthless and weak...I'll always want to be with him…

Bakura just sat there, he had to go back and read it again just to make sure what he read wasn't just his imagination. 'Ryou loves me?' Bakura was in a slight state of shock and surprise. He looked over at the sleeping form of his hikkari. "Ryou…"
