~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A scream filled the air in the house. Once again...Bakura was beating Ryou senseless for probably nothing. Ryou whimpered as he fell to the floor clutching his stomache. Why did his Yami hate him so much? He never did anything to him. So why did he hate him so much? Bakura looked down at the shaking form below him with pure disgust. "Weakling...don't even fight back." He said giving Ryou a sharp kick to his stomach. Ryou fought back choked sobs. He had learned that crying only brought more pain. He tried not to cry but when Bakura kicked him again he couldn't help it. A few tears spilled from his eyes. He layed there hoping Bakura wouldn't notice. He knew he did though. Bakura wrenched him up by his hair and threw him into the wall. Ryou struggled to get up but with much difficulty. Bakura looked at him again with disgust. Ryou looked up at him, eyes filled with fear. He coughed spitting up some blood. He felt it coming. The darkness that he loved so much because it temporarily stopped the pain. With one last sharp kick in the side from Bakura, Ryou slipped into his beloved, darkness.
Ryou woke still on the floor. He looked around to find his Yami no where. He must have retreated to the Ring. He got up dizzily. On the floor was blood...his blood. On the wall was some more of his blood. He felt the back of his head. Yup.....blood there too. He sighed and walked into the bathroom. He opened the sliding mirror in the bathroom and pulled out some dis-infectant and cotton balls. He did his best to clean the cuts on his face. He took off his shirt wincing.
He looked in the mirror at his pale chest and flinched. There were bruises and cuts, new and old, his sides were terribly brusied as was his stomache. He cleaned them and put his shirt back on. He put everything away and closed the mirror revealing a certain Yami leaning on the doorframe looking at Ryou with bright violet eyes. Ryou stood there trying not to shake as he put his shirt back on and looked at his Yami. Bakura began to walk over to him. Ryou couldn't hide it anymore and he started to shake. Bakura smirked evilly and grabbed Ryou by the arm. Ryou swallowed hard and closed his eyes waiting for his Yami to hit him. "Go get ready for school...don't you have to go?" Bakura said throwing Ryou out of the bathroom. Ryou tried not to fall as he was thrown. He nodded not turning around and went into his room to change.
Ryou walked quietly down the stairs, trying to not catch Bakura's attention. He opened the door and was about to slip out when Bakura yanked him around. Ryou yelped, half startled, and half from the sudden jerk in his shoulder. He saw his Yami smiling evilly at him holding the Millenium Ring. He glared at Ryou.
//Forgetting something?// Bakura asked through their mental link. He smirked and quickly disappeared into the ring. It fell to the floor with a thud. Ryou bit his bottom lip. He wondered if he should take it or not. Last time he forgot it, he had gotten one of the worst beatings ever from Bakura. He didn't want that to happen again. But...it would probably be an even WORSE beating if Bakura heard Ryou talking to his friends about Bakura's 'lessons' and he REALLY needed to talk to someone about it. He bent down and picked it up. He could sense through his link with Bakura that he was watching him from his soul room. He twirled it in his fingers before putting it around his neck. He grabbed up his backpack and winced a little when putting it on. He quickly ran out the door, closing it in the process. He then made his way to school.
He walked up to the building to find Yugi, Tristan, Tea, and Joey coming up from the opposite way. He tried to hurry into the school but Yugi ad seen him. "Hey Ryou!" He stopped walking and turned to see them coming up to him. He could feel that Bakura was still awake.
"Hey guys!" He said as cheerily as possible putting on a fake smile.
"What's u- WOAH! What the hell happened to you!" Tristan said coming up behind Yugi. He stared at Ryou's face. Shit...he had forgotten to hide it. He looked nervous for a minute but quickly responded.
"I-I was tired last night and ran into a few walls. Fell down the stairs accidently too." He smiled. Tristan nodded but Yugi looked skeptical.
(Wow...all that from falling down the stairs?) Yugi thought to Yami.
((Yes, I've been looking through your eyes. He looks really messed up to just having fallen down the stairs? Maybe ask him about it agian later?)) Yami suggested. Yugi nodded and walked into the school with everyone else.
They sat down in their first class. Yugi looked over at Ryou who was doing his best to hide himself. He looked down at his paper and suddenly looked really pale. Yugi raised one eyebrow but turned his attention back to his notes.
//You better not say a word to them. Maybe we should talk about you even talking to them when you get home.// Ryou could sense Bakura grinning evilly. He put his face in his hands as he tried not to cry. //You'll be crying a helluva lot more if you tell them anything!// and with that, Bakura cut off their link.
"Ryou?" Yugi tapped him on the shoulder. Ryou jumped a little and looked up at Yugi. His face was really pale, and his eyes were a little red. What's wrong?" Yugi asked, concern and worry becoming evident in his eyes. Ryou shook his head and stood up. The bell rang signaling the end of class. He hurried out and down the hallway before Yugi, or anyone else could question him any further.
"What's wrong Yug?" Joey asked coming up behind Yugi as they all left class.
"It's Ryou, I'm really worried about him." Yugi's brow was furrowed into what looked like he was thinking.
"Why?" Tea said looking concerned. "Is there something the matter with him?"
"I dunno...it just doesn't seem like he was telling us the whole truth today. He also looks paler then usual...I'm getting really worried." Yami materialized from the puzzle and looked at the group.
"I'm equally worried. I can sense something wrong with his story. Maybe I or you, aibou, should talk to him?"
"Yeah...I will at lunch." Yugi said heading for his next class. Yami nodded before disappearing back into the puzzle.
~*~At Lunch~*~
Ryou walked into the lunch room as quietly as possible so as to not draw attention to himself. He sighed when he saw no sign of the others. He sat down at a table and took out his lunch. No more then 5 minutes later, Yugi took a seat across from him. Ryou didn't look up. He stared at his sandwhich. Ryou sensed his Yami was asleep so he looked up at Yugi. Yugi's eyes were filled with concern for his friend. "What's wrong Ryou? You wouldn't be this upset from falling down the stairs..." Ryou just looked at Yugi and bit his lip. He looked around wondering whether or not to tell him. He decided that he would, but quickly, before his Yami woke up.
"Well...ok...I'll tell you. But you have to promise not to do anything! Especially your Yami...don't let him do anything please! Don't let him..." Ryou started to shake, his Yami was waking up.
"Ok...I won't...now tell me. What's going on?" Yugi asked looking at Ryou shaking. 'Oh my God oh my God...' Ryou thought looking down. Bakura was awake and furious. He figured that while he was asleep his hikari had blabbed to Yugi. "Ryou..." Ryou looked so scared. "What's the matter?...Just tell me what's wrong."
//So...you were telling him were you?// Bakura asked trying to keep his rage under control.
"No!" Ryou yelled out loud. Yugi looked confused. /I-I mean...no...I didn't Sir./ Ryou was shaking uncontrollably now.
//I think you're lying.//
/No..I swear I swear!!/ Ryou was about to cry.
//We are going to have a big talk later. Hmm...what should we do? Maybe I could beat you senseless?...or hmm...ever had a really bad burn Ryou?// Ryou threw his head into his hands as he heard his Yami laughing evilly. Yugi looked sympathetic and decided he would need help from Yami to get this out of Ryou.
That day after school, Ryou started to walk home. Bakura was already furious with him...he thought it best to hurry and get home. He had tried to ignore the threats his Yami had beed giving him that day. Suddenly someone grabbed his shoulder causing him to wince a little bit as he turned around. Yugi quickly took his hand off his shoulder and frowned. Yami materialized from the puzzle and looked down at Ryou with a worried look on his face. Ryou's face immediately turned fearful as he tried to run away. Yami grabbed him by his shirt. He squirmed trying to get out of his grasp. 'Oh no...oh Ra...he's gonna make me tell....shit shit no! Why me....'
"Ryou...what's your problem lately?" Yami raised an eyebrow at Ryou. Ryou looked down. His dark was still awake, he could feel his eyes staring at him, waiting for Ryou's answer.
"N-nothing Yami." He said smiling the best he could. "I'm just a little tired." 'KUSO!' he thought to himself. He didn't think that that excuse was good enough for Bakura. He was sure to be punished when he got home. No, he knew he would be when he saw the skeptical look on Yami's face. "Uhh...listen, I-I've gotta get home!" Ryou said quickly turning around in the direction of his house and walking off. Yami stared after him.
"Yami?" Yugi looked at him. Yami turned to his aibou and smiled.
"We'll figure this out Yugi, don't worry."
A/N- Well? How was the first chapter? It didn't suck too much did it? I know this story has been done before but...yeah...anyways, pleeeeeeeeease R/R peoplez!
