Bakura's thoughts (and actions in his POV)

Ordinary actions (in NORMAL POV)

Chapter 1 –

I took their smiles and I made them mine.

I did a lot of bad things in my time…

I sold my soul just to hide the light.

It started off as survival…but now I guess it's more of a vengeful, passionate obsession.

And now I see what I really am,

Umm…Bakura the Thief King, hater of Pharaohs, spirit of the Millennium Ring, yami of Ryou?

A thief a whore, and a liar.

Thief, yes, liar, yes…whore? I'd say that's more Malik and Marik, actually.

I run to you,

I'm in pure black…I see…Ryou? What's my light doing in pitch bla…my light in darkness.

Ryou's my light? In the literal sense now?

(And run away from this hell)

Oh well, maybe he knows a way into some place where there's possibly something to see.

Call out your name,

'Ryou! RYOU!'

(Giving up, giving in)

Oh Ra-damnit. He's dead…or not…he's just unconscious.

I see you there,

I can't tell…

(Still you are)
Farther away.

…He's too far away.

I'm numb to you - numb and deaf and blind.

I loose my senses around my hikari.

Don't ask me why because I still don't know.

You give me all but the reason why.

I'm perfectly content except I don't know why I feel like I do…too bad I've never asked, hmm?

I reach but I feel only air at night.

Cold…I can't each you, Ra-damnit!

Not you, not love, just nothing.

Nothing.

Oh, for the love of Ra…!

I run to you,
(And run away from this hell)

Well, I try to…I end up floating along slowly…hmm, interesting…

Call out your name,
(Giving up, giving in)

Out of hope, out of options, and…great. Out of voice.

I see you there,
(Still you are)

Maybe the mind-link works!

Oh no…you're still…

Farther away.

…too far away.

Try to forget you,

Let's move on, Bakura, he won't help…DAMNIT!

But without you I feel nothing.

Numb again…damn.

Don't leave me here, by myself.

Hmm…I can't leave by myself, eh? Oh well, back to Ryou…

I can't breathe.

Too true…I can't breathe…

I run to you,
(And run away from this hell)

Still running…hmm, the more desperate I am…the faster I go to Ryou…

Why does that feel good? It's not entirely because my ability to breathe is coming back…

Call out your name,
(Giving up, giving in)

Maybe if I can wake him up, we'll get to each other quicker…but will that actually work?

I see you there,
(Still you are)

But still you're…

Farther away.

…too far away.

I run to you,
(And run away from this hell)

Well, I try to run to you.

Call out your name,
(Giving up, giving in)

Still yelling and cursing…maybe soon I'll start asking Ra for help.

I see you there,
(Still you are)

Now you're not as

Farther away.

far away.

Farther away,

Bakura sat bolt upright in his bed, panting.

Weird dream…

farther away,

Ryou stirred from where he lay in bed next to Bakura, naked from the waist-up, at least. Bakura looked at Ryou, then turned to stare straight ahead in shock.

This is better, though…

farther away,

'…Hmm…? B-Bakura? A-Are you alright?' Ryou mumbled, staring with innocent brown eyes up at his yami. Bakura looked back at his hikari and smiled.

farther away,

'Yeah…Yeah I'm fine, Ryou…I just had a weird dream…go back to sleep.'

farther away.

Ryou smiled sleepily and yawned. 'Hmm'kay.' He murmured, suppressing another yawn. Bakura smiled and kissed his hikari's forehead.

'On second thought…can you stay awake for a little bit? I'm too tired to sleep…'

'…Bakura, do you know…what…you…just…hmm…'

'Yes, koi?'

'…hmmm…never mind, Bakura…carry on…'

Umm…yeah…wasn't that interesting (and random)…so yeah! Please review, much thankies for reading, naioka1992 - xoxo
