First, I thought that this is a one-shot but then, I started to like this more and more so I thought, why not?

And I have to say this to my dear friend Shihoka who well... Doesn't like Yu-Gi-Oh... I'M SORRY! xD

For those who hadn't read my other fics, I don't speak English as my mother tongue and I'm sorry if there are mistakes in my text!

And for those who have read my fics, I will continue updating those too. But when this idea popped into my head, I couldn't resist.

Abyss of Insanity: Dawn of Hope

Prologue

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Screams of horror. Bangs of death. Cries of fear.

That was all what Ryou heard.

His family's bodies, his family's blood on the white walls. Their murderer's weapons and figures.

That was all what Ryou saw.

How this happened? Just a couple hours ago, it was a happy wedding party. Ryou had played hide-and-seek with his cousins and then... the blood splashed everywhere while Ryou had hidden in a closet. And there he still where, looking at the hall where the bodies where covered with blood. The last one who was still standing was couples of meters away from the closet where Ryou was. The person, a woman who held her dead daughter, sobbed, repeating the girl's name. Then at last, Ryou heard a loud bang and her blood splashed on the closet as the woman fell backwards, meeting Ryou's gaze with her hollow eyes. Every cell in his body screamed him to close his eyes but he couldn't. He just kept staring at his family member's bloody bodies.

And them.

The men who had killed them. There were five of them, with guns and black clothes. But one of them had a white suit and he was standing in front of the bride's dead body.

"Enjoying darling?" The man asked, making Ryou to gasp in horror.

The man was his cousin's new husband, Pegasus Maximillion the one who got married today.

"Oh, don't look at me like that sweetie. It wasn't your fault that you didn't notice sooner. Or read my thoughts. I have always been good at hiding my emotions. Or thoughts." The man laughed with the others. Ryou bit his lip. This man... had betrayed Ryou's family. And Ryou. He always thought that this man was like a father to him. He watched how the man kicked Ryou's cousin's body.

"Lying is so easy. I did this only to save people because your gift is too dangerous. You could have taken over the world! And I had to stop it. No, we had to stop it. Mission complete!" Pegasus smirked, waving to the other men who were leaving the place.

"Good bye Bakura's family." He said, walking away. And finally, Ryou let himself scream.

That was all he could do.

Ryou opened his eyes, gasping air as he rose into a sitting position. He felt how the tears formed in his eyes as he kept panting aloud.

"Stupid memory..." He muttered, going back under his cover and closing his eyes. But after couple of minutes trying to get more sleep, he gave up, getting up from the bed. The white-haired teen glanced at the clock which bright numbers showed 5:21.

"Well, since I can't get any sleep anymore..." He muttered to himself. He knew about his weird habit to speak himself. But it wasn't like he cared. He stopped caring a long time ago. Since he gained his family's curse, he knew all the rumors what were in the the school. He knew how his math teachers fucked some his students and how two other boys in his class used drugs and how his biology teacher had been in jail only two years ago. Yup, Ryou knew almost everything, thanks to that stupid 'gift'.

The gift being able to read people minds.

In the Domino city, every family has one or two 'gifts'. Like being incredibly strong or being able to turn things into ice only by glaring at them. Inhumanly powers or magics. These gifts weren't inborn, they developed slowly, before being able to use, though this could take years, depends on which family were you. Bakura's family, where Ryou belonged, had a gift to be able of read living thing's minds. But that wasn't the only ability. They were able to torture mentally though then they needed to touch and look into their victim's eyes. His family was small but their skills were one of the most powerful skills in the world. But now they were all killed, expect Ryou.

Ryou felt the anger coming back as he walked over his desktop. On it was an old computer and the books and papers were cleanly in an order around the computer. On the woody desktop was a flat closet.

Eight years ago, his whole family was killed in front of him. He remembered that day so clearly. The day when his whole family was killed was his cousin's, Cyndia's wedding day. Cyndia had met her husband over two years ago and they were finally getting married. But then suddenly... The blood splashed everywhere and Ryou heard screaming and loud bangs as he sat in the closet. And there he had watched how those men just... killed. Killed and laughed.

And then he came to Ryou's sight. Silver-haired men with white suit...

Pegasus.

Ryou grabbed the knobs of the closet.

Pegasus, who had been his only friend... Pegasus who had understood him... Had lied and betrayed Bakura's family. Pegasus who had been like a father to Ryou.

Ryou pulled the closet open. Every inch of the closet was covered by pieces of papers, photos, pictures from newspaper and on them somebody had wrote words with black marker. They were in disorder, something what Ryou hated and avoided. And all of them handled same subject. And in the middle of the closet, there was a black piece of paper which read two words in white.

Shadow Realm. An underground organization who thinks that they job was to 'remove' all dangerous family in Domino. If some family shows marks of insubordinations or some dangerous powers, they killed the whole family. First people thought that they were nice but after Bakura's family was killed, who had been peaceful family without any evilness, they were feared and hated. Their goal was to 'make peaceful world'.

Ryou knew that he had a serious obsession over Shadow Realm. But he needed to find them. He needed to find Pegasus. That was his reason to life, finding Pegasus again. Nothing else mattered to him, he only needed to find that man again

Ryou didn't want a revenge. Actually, he never had somebody in his family who was really important to him. His mother committed a suicide when Ryou was four and his father was in an asylum, all because the 'gift'. Bakura's family had been really old-fashioned. Ryou's parents had been cousins because their family didn't want any outsiders blood. Pegasus had been the first one who was accepted, though Ryou wondered how. Ryou had lived in a big house where his whole family had lived. Many people in their family had a weak mind and losing their minds wasn't unusual, being able to read people's minds wasn't for weak people. Ryou's aunt rose him after his father lost his sanity. And that woman had been strict and cold. Ryou had never liked her. Actually, Ryou had never liked his whole family. He realized it two weeks after the weddings. He had never even went to visit their graves.

Ryou just needed to ask three simple questions. He wasn't a violent person. He had never punched anybody and hated violence. He only needed to find Pegasus so he could answer Ryou's questions.

First question, did Pegasus feel anything when he killed Ryou's family.

Second question, how he had been able to hide his thoughts two years? That sounded too... hard.

And third, why did Pegasus leave in such a hurry in the wedding? He didn't even check was everybody dead?!

This place was his shrine, his sacred place. Only place were he could think clearly. Nobody, not even his teachers knew about his 'shrine'. And if somebody would find out, he would kill them. Nobody doesn't smudge his sacred place.

Ryou stood there, staring at the pictures and articles. He had tried everything, even hacking in the police's computers! But even those bastards had nothing! He needed to find 'Shadow Realm'! Every clue was important to him. He didn't have any time to lose.

He was going to die.

Not literally, but he could feel everyday how his mind blurred slowly, but certainly. He could see himself in an asylum, like his father. Ryou knew that he was weak minded. But he didn't have anybody. No family, no friends... Nothing. The last person who he had cared killed his family. But he didn't care about it. Being alone was okay to him.

But still, he could feel how he was sinking into the abyss of insanity.

I like this! I love Ryou who isn't completely sane! And believe me, you'll see that a lot in this fic! Actually, every main characters in this fic has some problems. But I'll try to make something different than cutting, okay? If you have some ideas then tell me!

Anyway, please R&R, or I'll not update so soon!
