"... I guess you just become accustomed to the fact that your body isn't entirely your own anymore."

'The son shall pay for the sins of his father!'

A shallow laugh, dead and bleeding.

'What you really fear is your enemy's idea of justice!'

Was this all that was left when everything was said and done?

'A King is robed in gold, isn't he ...? Then that must make me a King too! A King of Thieves!'

Killer smirk. Deadly eyes and tired screams.

'No one can truly draw the line between just and unjust, good and evil...'

Does the soul still call for vengeance or a finally ending?

'If getting everything you want is all there is to being a King... then as the King of Thieves, I am truly the King of Kings!'

Everyone knows, but yet they still know nothing.

'Lose something?'

Not one person yet could say they understood that man. Such hate. So much hate. Unyielding hate.

'Well? Aren't you scum going to pass judgement on me? I am the great Bakhura, the King of Thieves!'

Forgotten son of Ra, wanders on and on without even his shadow as company.

'I'll paint the walls of the palace with your blood.'

He was all he ever knew, but he knew next to nothing about himself.

'The fall of your kingdom has begun!'

Idolized by the face of an angel, dismissed by the heart of a dying demon.

'I am the sole survivor of that village... Of Kul Elna.'

Standing side by side, lovingly scarred tan, falsely flawless pale beauty. White hair, amethyst eyes, green eyes.

'Now... this city too, will drown in blood.'

A shallow laugh, dead and bleeding.

'Please excuse me for not respecting the Kingdom that destroyed my home!'

When all was said and done, one remembers not the King of Thieves or the boy of sacrifice, but only the appraised and forever loved Son of Ra.

'I'd like to say "Welcome to our village!"... But they'll soon see... It's a ghost town...'

When all was said and done, no one remembers the boy who never had the chance to understand love, forced to grow up before knowing himself.

'A ruler is such a pitiful thing. But... to a thief, anything you see is something you can steal!'

Neither with a true name to their shattered souls, not even enough to call a whole.

'I will steal the world!'

Would you remember the nameless Thief King, the tortured boy Ryou Bakura?

'I... Am the King... Of Thieves... There's nothing in the world I can't steal...'

"You are loved."

'But time doesn't heal all wounds.'

Obviously, in case no one noticed, only the first and second to last quotes are by Ryou, the rest are all the Thief King/Yami Bakura from both the anime and manga. The Ryou quotes however... I made up. But only in a later on spur-of-the-moment idea, did I add them.

I made this on the same spur-of-the-moment a long time ago, and am only just putting this up because a totally awesome and best buddy of mine had me put it up. So like go check out her stuff, like, now: The Amber Raven. She also really helped me get the finishing touches done, so off you go!

Thing from the description are also quotes form the song Paradise by Coldplay, which I do not own.

Constructive criticism or flames aren't minded - maybe even encouraged - but the review is still appreciated.
