*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I sat at the kitchen table working on homework but it was hard. It was nearly 7 and it had already begun to get dark outside...my yami was never that late. My pencil was shaking with nervousness. If something bad had happened to my yami, I would get blamed for it...painfully

crawling in my skin

these wounds they will not heal

fear is how I fall

confusing what is real

I rolled up my long sleeves to reveal the scars on my arms. Many had healed but they left behind reminders of his yami's anger. But those weren't the only wounds. Some wounds went deeper then the skin....they went straight into my heart

there's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface

consuming/confusing

this lack of self-control I fear is never ending

controlling/I can't seem

to find myself again

my walls are closing in

(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)

I've felt this way before

so insecure

I can't understand how I feel..my yami treats me like a slave..like a thing....yet somehow...after everything..I love him

The door slammed open. He was back..and he was mad...I could sense his anger. He

stomped his way over to me and shoved me down from my chair. I struggled not to whimper as the pain of old wounds reawakened and zapped through my system on impact. Slowly, carefully, I stood to face my yami

discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me

distracting/reacting

against my will I stand beside my own reflection

it's haunting how I can't seem...

to find myself again

I sneered at my pathetic excuse for a hikari. I could feel the pain he felt as he fell off the chair. And now as he faced me I could see fear and pain in his eyes. He was so weak and the world would beat him down....if I didn't toughen him up first

I stared pleadingly into his unmerciful eyes. Those cold slits just stared back, mocking and sneering. He pulled back his fist and slammed it into my stomach. The wind was knocked out of me as the impact sent me flying back against the wall. I could feel my body groan and bones pop back into joints as I struggled up again. Blood began to flow from the edge of my mouth.

I could see the pain in his eyes...weak mortal...I punched him across the jaw once more for good measure. I smirked as I saw his eyes contort in pain from the crack that ensued. But then..there was something else in his eyes....anger? He slowly stood, wobbling on unsteady feet. There was a new look of hatred in his eyes...one I had never seen before....

This is it' I thought to myself, I've had enough of the pain....this will end now...' And I ran....I shoved past Bakura with a rage I had never felt...He had broken my heart..now I would escape... I ran out the open door and into the cold night

Fool' I thought to myself. With the Ring on there is no esc-- my thought were cut off short with a sudden realization...'He wouldn't...would he?' And I dashed out the still open door after Ryou, hoping....

I grasped the Ring that always hung around my neck....if my yami hated me so much...then let him be free! And with that I ripped the cord from my neck and threw down the Ring on the pavement. It glinted golden in the moonlight and I was almost tempted to put it back on...instead I ran....as fast as I could....

I caught the flash of Ryou's white hair as he ran down the road. And there it was...the Ring lay on the pavement.. 'I taught him to fight back....all I did was hurt him more...' I picked up the Ring and found there was something under it...I picked it up realizing it was the Change of Heart card...'How ironic' I stared at the girl on the picture. Funny how she smiled on both sides. She reminded me of myself. Half wanting to go after my light...to apologize and show how much I truly care...the other half saying Good riddance. He was only a puny mortal...' Yet all I could see was my little hikari...my little aibou....running...to get away from me...and then the tears came....
