For You

I'm sorry, Ryou. Bakura thought as he watched his victim fall, unconscious, to the ground. I know you hate it when I do this; when I take away the souls of the people around you. I know you'll get mad when you realize that I did it again.

Bakura smiled sadly as he played the all too familiar scene in his mind. You'll begin to cry when I try to explain. You'll scream that you hate me; that you never want to see me again. Bakura continued walking down the deserted streets, his breath a constant cloud in front of him. He sighed and stopped. Maybe he should wait a bit before returning home. He couldn't stand the thought of seeing Ryou upset. He looked up at the dark sky, for it had started snowing again. Anger suddenly pulsed through his veins. Why couldn't Ryou accept what it was he did?

Bakura grit his teeth and narrowed his eyes as he continued off again. You know I can't change. This is a part of me; I am your dark. If Ryou was going to make a big deal out of this, then so was he. He was already mentally preparing his fight. You may not realize it, but I do this to protect you. Your innocent, pure heart, I never want to see it tainted. I've already put you through so much.

The former thief walked up the last steps to the house and quietly entered. His eyes quickly adjusted to the dark and he scanned the room. All of the anger that he had felt moments before vanished. There, sleeping on the couch, was Ryou. He was clutching the phone and whimpering slightly. Bakura felt a pang of guilt. He had been waiting for him for so long, he didn't even have the light on.

And yet, Bakura knelt down next to his light. Even though I've put you through things you should have never have had to experience, you still care so much for me. Ryou's cheeks were wet from tears. The dark brushed a lock of Ryou's hair, which was so much like the snow, aside and lightly kissed him. He lingered, the salty taste of the tears filling his mouth. For that, Ryou's eyelids fluttered open slowly. His eyes widened when he saw Bakura. The light flung his arms around his dark and hugged him tightly. Bakura returned the hug and kissed him again, this time on the lips. I will always be here for you.
