Aisha:Hiyo minna! This is an AU story about Ryou&Bakura, to the song "Concrete Angel" by Martina McBride(I think that's how ya spell it). It is a very sad but pretty song, and just recently heard it. Basicaly about a little girl who is abused .
Leesha:She trys not to cry.Kinda cries in the inside though.
Aisha:Hai,hai. ::sniffle::
This is Bakura (Yami B's) POV,and he is OOC.Also I changed the lyrics a little bit.Thank you.

I walked silently down the sidewalk, through the winter wind, to the school I taught at. I was rather late today, I slept late.
As I continued walking at a steady pace, I noticed a figure just ahead. I reconized it as one of my students. His name was Ryou I believe. Very quiet and fraile young boy. He was always slumped over in a sad manner, and was very timid around the other kids.
Was there something he knew,but didn't want to tell? Or..was it more..personal....
~
He walks to school with the lunch he packed,
Nobody knows what he's holdin back.
Wearin the same clothes he wore yesterday,
He hides the bruises with a cap on his face ohhh.
~
I watched him as we both made it, I slowing down for he wouldn't get considered tardy. He obviously didn't see me.
As I entered my class I saw Ryou sitting quietly in his desk, having all his supplies out, while the other students talked and joked loudly. He was such a good kid...
I called for the homework,and everyone got it out. I began walking up and down the rows, checking their work while they drew, whispered, or worked on something else.
When I got to the small boy, I paused, then froze.(A/N that possible?) He was drawing something, I couldn't tell what, but it was good.
What made me really stop though, was that when he moved, his long sleeve slipped down, revealing several nasty looking cuts and bruises. He moved it back up, and glanced up at me with those large brown eyes. They were filled with hurt, and pleading.
"Is there something wrong, Mr.Bakura sir?" Ryou asked me timidly, and I snapped out of it. I shook my head, giving him a kind look.
"No, it's perfect. Everything is correct." I told him, patting him on the back.
~
The teacher wonders but he doesn't ask,
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask.
Bearin' the burden of a secret storm,
Sometimes he wishes he was never born.
~
He nodded.
"And keep working on that picture;it looks awesome," I added to him,turning away.But I then heard a small squeak.
"Thank you...Mr.Bakura I---"
"Mr.Bakura! Hey!"another voice rang out as a hand shot up. I sighed.
"One second!" Turning back to Ryou I said hopefully,"Something you wanted to tell me?.."
He shook his head.
"No sir. It's nothing."he replied. I nodded and headed off to help the other kids.
/I seriously doubt that it's nothing/ I thought grimly. /You don't get cuts like that from riding a bike, or those size and shape bruises from playing basketball. No, they come from something much more terrible.../
**********End of Class**********
The final bell rang, and the students ran out. But still after that I heard footsteps. Looking up I saw Ryou standing in front of my desk.
"Yes Ryou?" I questioned him. He shifted slightly.
"There is something... I wish to talk to you about.. s-sir..."
Maybe this would be it? I nodded my head and got up to close the door, then brought down a chair for him to sit in. He lowered himself down, placing his backpack on the floor.
"Well you see.."he started, but trailed off, staring down at his lap.
"It's okay. Talk to me Ryou;it's what I'm here for. When the world turns away from you, I'll turn my back to them. I'm with you." I stated, leaning closer to him. He looked at me in shock, but it seemed like he was feeling alot better. I was glad.
"My stepfather,"he said wearily, "gets drunk. And he takes everything out.. on me...."
That was all I needed. I turned my head to the side and made a sharp intake of breath, wich sounded like a pained gasp. I must have scared the boy for he looked up at me with quick fear.
"I-I'm sorry! Was it me? Gomen nasai! Gomen!" he squeaked out."Gome--"
He stopped as I took him in my arms, and hugged him tight. Tears started falling silently. I've never felt this way, except for when my mother passed away. I felt Ryou crying also on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry.."It was my turn to apologize.
"I k-know there is somewhere b-b-better... someONE better... I dream about it frequently, I want to go, but..."he stuttered between tears.
~
Through the wind, and the rain, he stands hard as a stone,
In a world that he can't rise above.
But his dreams, give him wings,
And he flies to a place where he's loved..
Concrete Angel
~
"I shall help you, that I promise.." I said confidently.
/Yes Ryou, there is a better place, I know where it is that you think of. You've tried to go before, but only suceeded in your peaceful dreams;I'll take you there, though it'll be painful for you. You'll be loved... by all..../
