Flying Sparks
Jade/authoress- Guess who?
Marik- Let me guess.. the annoying, giggly, high-spirited, authoress also known as Jade?
Bakura- Correct.
Jade- You two are so cruel pouts
Ryou- You're not exactly nice to us..
Jade- I'm sorry.. hugs all three
Sabelina- I'm left out again.. Oh well. Let the story begin!
Disclaimer- I own nothing except Sabelina and she's not even in this story..Sad. 'Darkness' belongs to Darren Hayes.
Been spending so much time underground
I guess my eyes adjusted
To the lack of light
I got
Covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
Bakura sighed as he slowly and carefully searched the streets of Domino. How could he do this? He had chased the boy off yet again.
"Damn boy. Too sensitive for his own good." he muttered, turning down the side-road to the park.
The boy sat near the serene lake, tears falling, mixing with the blood dripping from his hand, before the both disappeared into the lake's cool waters. How many times he had sat in this very spot, this lake contaminated with his tears and blood...
I have been waiting
Always waiting for something new
Happiness has always ended
In the blink of an eye
There was no one attending
No one attending
A soft rustle from the bushes behind him startled him and he turned, eyes wide with fear. He sighed in relief as he found it only to e a black and brown puppy, no more than two months old. But as the pup got closer, the boy could see the young dog was hurt... innocent and injured, like himself.
The puppy whimpered and crawled right into the boy's lap. He was surprised to say the least, but picked it up, snuggling his face into it's soft but matted fur.
Bakura found the one he had been seeking, by the lake as expected. But for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to move, nor call out to the boy. He simply stood there, watching the boy clutch something brown to his chest. He sighed...
It doesn't really matter where it all began
All I know
I got covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
Ever wonder why I never really truly connect
Although my eyes are open
I can hold your gaze
But I am never connected
Never connected.
He cast an ashamed look to the ground. How he wanted to hold the smaller boy in his arms and comfort him. Only he couldn't.. he was the one who caused the boy the pain in the first place.
The boy still sat with the puppy, his usually pale checks tinged with pink from crying and the blood he had smeared across his face while trying to wipe away tears. He didn't noticed the older boy behind him, for if he did he certainly wouldn't be here.
The pup, who the boy now called Shadow, growled softly, the fur on his neck and back rising. He wiggled from the boy's grasp and snarled toward the bushes where Bakura hid.
"What is it Shadow?" the boy asked, nervously glancing around him. He stepped forward and scooped up the puppy, before backing away as the bush rustled again...
All was silent for a moment, even Shadow had stopped growling and snarling. The boy saw a flash of gold through the leaves of the bushes and looked down at the golden pendent hanging from his neck. It must mean it was Yami or Bakura and there was no reason for Yami to be spying on him was there?
I am famous for my generosity
They say I am the kindest
But it is easier to
Give than receive love
Give than receive love
A dog. The boy had a puppy with him. This proved to be a challenge, the little rascal almost got him caught. Bakura growled as he stalked away, careful to make sure the boy didn't see him. He realized that he couldn't go far without the puppy becoming aware of him. He found it surprising that the young dog would notice him but seemed he could care less about anyone else.
Bakura sighed and started towards the lake again, but this time instead of backing off when he heard the little pup, he simply cast his gaze towards the ground and walked around the bush. Once he came into view the puppy ceased barking and growling and scurried over to the hikari.
It doesn't really matter where it all began
All I know
I was covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
The boy sighed, tuning his new four-legged friend out, as he skimmed the glassy surface of the lake with his fingers. Only when the puppy stopped and crawled back into his lap did he snap back to reality. A shiver ran down the boy's spine and he tensed, holding Shadow tightly against him. "He's behind me isn't he?" he whispered to the pup, who whimpered in response.
"Yes. I am." Bakura murmured softly, garnet eyes sparkling with tears. He settled himself next to the younger boy, and glared at his reflection in the water. He noticed the boy tensing up and knew he had to say something before he ran away again.
" I...I'm...please forgive me, angel. I know I don't deserve it, I never have." he pulled his knees up to his chest and bit his lip as he awaited the boy's reaction. The boy was silent and Bakura turned to see the boy smiling softly at him. It was a sad smile but it was still a smile. After how he treated him, he was still smiling?
Turning pages over
Run away to nowhere
And it's hard to take control
When your enemy's old and afraid of you
You'll discover that the monster you were running from
Is the the monster in you
Better to hold on to love
Better to hold on to love
Change will come
" 'Kura. I don't know why I do this to myself, but you know I always forgive you. I always come back." the boy said still cuddling Shadow close. The puppy squirmed away from the boy and leaped into Bakura's lap and gave him a friendly lick on the check. Bakura was surprised by the dog's sudden liking to him but stroked Shadow with one hand and pulled the boy closer to him with his other hand.
It doesn't really matter where it all began
All I know was covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
It doesn't really matter where it all began
'Cuz all I know was lost
I was lost
No, no
The boy surprised himself even, as he leaned into Bakura's embrace. He knew nothing had ended, he knew the next week would follow the same schedule. But right now, he could enjoy the little time that he spent with Bakura that didn't involve him being beaten. After all, Bakura did say he was sorry right?
It doesn't really matter where it all began no no
All I know
I was lost
I feel lost
Lost
No...
Jade- The first chapter comes to a close for today. So how did you all like it?
Bakura- Who is the boy? And what is a dog doing in my story?
Marik- Duh, Bakura. She's not going to tell you, nor the readers..yet anyway.
Jade- Shadow is a sweet, innocent, injured puppy, just like 'the boy', call them soul mates in a way.
Marik- Ha! I know who it is and you don't! Think about it who do you think it is?
Jade- Yes! Please tell us who you think it is in a review.
