My second fic! It's about Yami Bakura's life... partly. About why he became evil and about his youth. I don't know how many chapters it is going to have. Yeah, the title may seem a little weird, heh? Well: "Bakura" is a Japanese Kanji with many meanings. In this context the word means "lonely", or "deserted".
Yami Bakura: Good, who's going to die? You killed me off in the last fic, are you going to do it again?
Ryou-Ran: I don't think so. I mean: for killing you I'll need to kill Ryou. And when I kill Ryou, Murai-Sakura will never look at me again. Which is quite impossible, since we live about 200 kilometers away from each other.
Ryou: (looks up at the sky) Thank you...
Yami Bakura: I'm not feeling so well... you are going to write about my past?
Ryou-Ran: Yes! (big smile)
Yami Bakura: --"Fine.
Ryou: Here's the disclaimer: Ryou-Ran does not own any Yug-Gi-Oh! characters and her father deleted most of her Yu-Gi-Oh!-tapes on purpose.
Yami Bakura: (eagerly) Do you want me to send him to the Shadow Realm?
Ryou-Ran: NO! I'm going to start the fic right now.
You don't know how Bakura I feel
Ryou slid down the wall of his soul room and slumped to the floor. Yami Bakura loomed over him. He had slapped Ryou in the face with all his might. "Stop, please... you are hurting me..."Ryou begged. Yami Bakura grabbed him by the front of his shirt and lifted him from the floor. "I hurt you?"he hissed. "You don't know real pain, my boy." He dropped Ryou like a bag of potatos. Ryou landed on his rear end and crawled away from him. He looked up at Yami Bakura and saw the evil Yami had a strange expression on his face. It was almost like he was sad.
"I want to show you something."Yami Bakura said and pulled Ryou's wrist. He dragged Ryou out of his soul room. They found themselves inside a small corridor. There was a small door on one side, the door of Ryou's soul room and a big portal on the other side that led to Yami Bakura's soul room. Yami Bakura released Ryou's wrist and opened the door. "Enter."he said. Ryou entered and stepped into a heavy darkness. The ground was grey and covered with rocks. The room appeared not to have any walls or a ceiling. The sky was black and there were no stars. Red and purple clouds drifted in the sky. Once in a while a red flash of lightning would light up Ryou's and Yami Bakura's surroundings. "Welcome into my soul room."Yami Bakura said. Ryou gazed at the sky in amazement. "But this is..."he began. Yami Bakura chuckled. "Yeees! This is the Shadow Realm! The Shadow Realm is my soul room!"he almost panted. A bolt of lightning crashed down and hit the ground as he laughed. It colored his hair blood-red. Ryou trembled. He did not know why his Yami had brought him here. He had said he wanted to show him something. But what would he want to show his host?
"Take a seat, Yadonushi."Yami Bakura said. A big rock suddenly emerged and made Ryou trip. He fell and landed on his behind on the rock. "Comfortable?"Yami Bakura asked as the cold rock made Ryou shiver. "You'll have to stay on that rock for a while. There's a lot I want to show you." He drew a circle in the air with his hands. It formed some kind of window. Ryou could see blue sky and golden sand in it. He could hear a few children laugh. "This is the window that leads to my memories, Bakura."Yami Bakura said. "I am going to show you real pain. Look at the window."
A few boys were playing in the sand. Two of them were sitting on the ground and had formed somekind of gate with their hands. A third boy tried to jump between the hands, while the sitting boys tried to grab him. A fourth boy was standing behind him, waiting for his turn. They all had a copper- colored skin. Three of the boys had brown eyes and pitch-black hair. One boy had white hair and purple eyes. His eyes were big and friendly. He hopped up and down, eager to try too. His real name was Bakura. Nobody knew where that name came from. His parents had told him the name had come to them in a dream. Nobody called him Bakura, however. Because of his white hair that would shine a mystical blue color when the moon was shining on it everybody called him Moonlight. "Let me try! I wanna try too!"Moonlight cried. The other boys held up their hands. "Come on, Moonlight! Show us what you can do!"the boy who had already jumped cheerfully shouted. Moonlight walked a few feet back, began to run and jumped through the gate, evading the hands of his friends. He landed on his backside on the floor and laughed.
Suddenly the ground began to tremble. Moonlight and the other boys looked up and saw a big cloud of dust coming. When it came closer they saw it was a big army of soldiers. The four boys leapt up and rushed into the village screaming of fear. The residents came out of theri houses and saw the soldiers coming. Moonlight felt someone grab him by the arm. It was his mother. She pulled him in. "Quickly! Hide in here!"she cried and more or less stuffed him into a big jar. She grabbed a short sword and followed Moonlight's father outside. All around him Moonlight could hear people scream. He peeked over the edge of the jar and saw his parents fighting the soldiers. He saw how his friend Harim was thrown out of his house and was stepped upon by a horse. He saw an arrow hit his father in the chest. He saw how girls were being raped by the soldiers. His mother had gone totally mad and rushed over to the soldiers with the blooded sword in her hand. She killed one and chopped the hand of a second off, but a third soldier gave her a blow to the head and raped her right in front of Moonlight's eyes. Moonlights mother cried. When the soldier was done he slipped her throat, letting her slowly bleed to death. Moonlight pushed his fists in his eyes and tried very hard not to cry out loud.
Finally the soldiers had killed all of the adults living in the village and had gathered a small group of children that had not been killed. Moonlight was still inside the jar, but one soldier entered his house, to see if there was anything valuable in there. He found some neclaces and jewels and stuffed them in a bag. He also saw something white stick out of the jar. He kicked the jar. It fell and broke. One of the pieces hit Moonlights face and made a cut that covered his eye and his right cheek. Moonlight cringed on the floor and held his hurt face. "What do we have here?"the soldier asked, having never seen a boy with white hair before. He grabbed him by the neck and carried him outside. Blood ran down Moonlight's face and neck. The soldier threw the little boy to the floor on the place were the other children that had been captured were standing. The children helped Moonlight get up. Moonlight still pushed his hand against his face and had stopped crying. The look he gave the soldiers was one of pure hatred. The soldiers surrounded the helpless children, stabbing at them with their swords and spears to bully them. They all had the symbol of the reigning Pharaoh on their shields. One of them poked Moonlight in the side with a stick. Moonlight grabbed the stick, and though he was little, broke it in two. The soldier pulled his sword, but his leader stopped him. "Such a strong boy would make a good slave, don't you think?"he whispered. The soldier nodded. "I think we can get quite a lot of money when we sell him to a rich family."the leader continued. He looked at Moonlights strong arms. Moonlight had overheard their conversation and began thrashing around. "I don't want to be a slave! Mommy! Daddy! Help!"he screamed. Two soldiers grabbed him by the arms and dragged him away. Moonlight kept fighting and bit one in the arm. "Noo! Let go of me! I don't want to! Mommy! Somebody!"he cried. One of the soldiers raised a stick. Moonlight felt a powerfull blow on the back of his head and numbed. Blood stained his hair pink.
Ryou had looked at everything that had happened more than five-thousand years ago with open mouth and eyes watering. Yami Bakura had watched it too with an indifferent expression on his cold face. "See, Bakura? That's what I call real pain."he said. Ryou slapped his hands in front of his face. "Stop it..."he groaned. "I don't want to see more..." Yami Bakura grabbed Ryou's wrists and roughly pulled his hands away. "Oh, but you will see more. I haven't shown you everything, Omote."he whispered. He grinned, but his eyes had a dead look in them. Ryou wanted to get up and run away, but he was stuck. He somehow could not get up from the rock. Yami Bakura walked over to the soul-window again, still showing the image of the little Moonlight lying on his stomach, blood coloring his white hair.
There, the first chapter of my second story. Oh my god... between 3.30 pm and 4.30 pm I'll find out if I have passed the Final Examinations or failed. They will call me if I have failed, but they will not call me if I have passed. I hope they will not call... my parents have hung out the Dutch flag already and if I pass my bag will be attached to that flag too. (very old Dutch tradition) So I hope very much my bag will hang there tonight. And I also hope it will not start to rain, because my bag will then be ruined.
Ryou: Snib... why are you doing this to me?
Ryou-Ran: Come on... have you ever seen a Ryou-story without Ryou- suffering? And the good news is: You are not going to die.
Moonlight: Oh, fine, where did I end up now?
Yami Bakura: Hey, that's a little me! Funny.
Moonlight: I don't want to be here! (kicks Yami Bakura's leg)
Yami Bakura: OW OW! HERE, YOU PEST! I'LL KILL YOU! (chases Moonlight around the room)
Ryou-Ran: Don't kill him, Yami Bakura. Don't forget he's a younger you. If you kill him...
Yami Bakura: ... then I'll kill myself. Right. Then I guess I'll just go after Ryou.
Ryou: AAAAAH! (jumps right through the ceiling)
Ryou-Ran:OO" They say scared cats can make weird leaps. Thank you, Yami Bakura. You owe me a new ceiling. A Ryou-proof one.
I hope I can update soon, but if I fail I guess I'll not be allowed to be behind the computer for a looooooong time. Please review. Oh, Murai: "Yu-Gi- Oh!, king of games?"
Yami Bakura: Good, who's going to die? You killed me off in the last fic, are you going to do it again?
Ryou-Ran: I don't think so. I mean: for killing you I'll need to kill Ryou. And when I kill Ryou, Murai-Sakura will never look at me again. Which is quite impossible, since we live about 200 kilometers away from each other.
