Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh, believe me, if I did...I would know...And I definitely wouldn't hide it! I also don't own the song "Anywhere" by: Evanescence...Wow, I don't own anything, do I? This is the first time that I'm writing a fic and not naming it after the song it's after... I'm trying a lot of new things lately!

Confidential Confessions

[Ryo P.O.V.]

Oh, Bakura...why? Why do you do this? You degrade me to a point where I wish to die, and my dignity seems to just wither away with each passing day... Did you ever stop to think... that in doing all of this... you could lose me? Do you find pleasure in causing me pain? Apparently not, because after you beat me, you go into your room and attempt to commit suicide...I cannot believe how many times I've walked into your room to find you on the floor, bleeding from your wrists...I cannot believe how many of your hidden messages I've found around the house...notes apologizing to me...You were never good at hiding anything...

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me, and dear my love, haven't you longed to be free

You probably never knew any other way than to just beat up on me... I cannot blame you for that... But why did you have to be so harsh? You could have gone a little easier on me at least... No, now look at me... I'm sounding selfish... But... it's kind of true isn't it? Unless... this isn't really you... Have you changed? Have you finally changed? Has my savior at last arrived?

I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you

But it's not just the beatings that cause me to question this life of mine... And no, it's not the swearing either... It's how you treat me sometimes... When we are here alone in the house in the quiet of the dark night... You can add such a passion into my heart... into my soul...

And at sweet night, you are my own, take my hand

It's almost alarming how you can be so violent, yet so gentle at the same time... But you don't know I see your passionate side... Of course, if I told you that I enjoy what you do to me at night...you would most definitely stop... I fake everything...just to make you happy... All the screaming and struggles I put up... they're not real... I do it so you'll enjoy the time we spend, so it makes you believe you are the dominant one...

We're leaving here tonight, there's no need to tell anyone, they'd only hold us down, so by the morning's light, we'll be half way to anywhere, where love is more than just your name

I dream about you at night... I hope you do of me as well... Although, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't... It wouldn't be anything new to me... I mean so little to so many... But when I'm with you... I feel as though I'm the most loved person in the world... I know it's not true... but it's something nice for me to believe in...

I have dreamt of a place for you and I, no one knows who we are there

I know that you don't want anyone to know of the love we share for each other... But hiding this is going to slowly eat me away! I know you care for me, although you try to make me think that you don't, I can see through your tactics... By being the complete opposite of who you really are, you can trick and deceive many people into believing what you want them to believe...

All I want is to give my life only to you, I've dreamt so long, I cannot dream anymore, let's run away, I'll take you there

I'm lost in you... And I can't find myself again... After all that we have been through, it's almost impossible to believe that you want to hurt me... It's as if it pains you so much to harm me, yet you continue to anyway... Where has your heart gone? I know you had one; it just seems to be on hold at the moment... confused in all of life's encounters... Whatever happened to your heart, swallowed by pain as you slowly fell apart...

We're leaving here tonight, there's no need to tell anyone, they'd only hold us down, so by the morning's light, we'll be half way to anywhere, where no one needs a reason

I hope that one day... we can live in peace amongst each other and everyone else... When that day comes, we will be able to walk out the doors of this Ra forsaken house together... and you wouldn't care about what anyone else thinks... We'd finally be able to live happily together... there would be no more beatings... no more put downs... it would be just you and me...

Forget this life, come with me, don't look back you're safe now, unlock your heart, drop your guard, no one's left to stop you

Bakura, the only thing I want is for you to be happy... if your happy future involves me, then so be it... we'll live together and support each other no matter what... we'd always be there for one another... I promise I will for you... can I hope you will for me... Don't let the opinions of others interfere with what is in your heart... Know that I will always be there to help you in any way I can... All you need to do... is open your heart to me... and I promise life will be so much better... You would actually have something to look forward to...

Forget this life, come with me, don't look back you're safe now, unlock your heart, drop your guard, no one's left to stop you now

This is the time I have been waiting for my entire life... for someone like you to come along and brighten up my day... I want to spend the rest of my life with you... Please give me the chance to support you in a way no one ever did for me... In order to repent for the people who forgot about me, I want you to let me love you... I want you to let me care for you... I ask of nothing in return from you... except that you don't hurt me anymore... All of the mental and physical scars that have been left make me feel as though I failed in my job as a hikari to you...

You hold the answer deep within your own mind... Consciously you've forgotten it though... That's the way the human mind works... Whenever something is too unpleasant, too shameful for us to entertain, we reject it... We erase it from our memory... but the imprints are always there... We're supposed to try to be real... We feel alone when we're not together... that is real... You're not alone, Bakura... never are you alone... never will you have to be alone... Bakura, please don't hate me... because I'll die if you do... The imprints are always there... nothing is forgotten...

We're leaving here tonight, there's no need to tell anyone, they'd only hold us down, so by the morning's light, we'll be half way to anywhere, where love is more than just your name

Sooo... what did you guys think? Bad, huh? Oh well, I always seem to suck at writing fics like this...
