Ask what my worst nightmare is.
Come on, I dare you.
Heh, if you asked I'd probably say Vampires.
Vampires, yeah, right. Heh, good old vampires.
Of course that wouldn't be true.
It's true enough.
But I don't believe in Vampires.
Not really.
I guess I could be talking about the ones in fairytales.
I guess.
The stuff from our nightmares.
Vampires like blood, am I right?
Well there certainly was a lot of that.
Too much I think. I almost drowned in it.
Staring at my bed now, the covers are crimson.
Crimson, same color as blood.
Or where they always like that? I don't remember.
But then again I don't remember much about anything.
Well, except that.
But then again everyone remembers that.
I think the vampires are back.
If you asked I'd tell you he was a vampire.
Anyone else would tell you I'm insane.
But I already know that.
Of course the bed isn't empty.
Just the person seated on it is.
He just stares up at me, large lilac orbs watching my every movement.
He seems happier though when I sit behind him and wrap my arms around his small frame.
But I know it's not real.
"I love you Bakura" He whispers.
I'm silent, just rocking him back and forth. Back and forth, back and forth.
"I-I love you too" I close my eyes, trying so hard not to try.
I hate you. I hate you, I hate you.
Go fucking kill yourself for all I care.
No, stop it. That's taking it to far.
"I love you" I whisper for a second time, kissing the top of his head.
This has happened before. I bite back a scream, still rocking the boy in my arms back and forth.
It happened before. The reason I have to say these words. 'I love you' They don't mean much, not really.
I can remember it. I think I always will. The kisses, the words, the gun.
'Take care of Yugi" Yami, my Koi, my reason instructed. 'Make sure he's alright. Please Bakura, love him like I loved you'
He said that in what seems like an age ago.
Right before he pulled the trigger.
Right before Yami Mouto shot himself.
Right before he bound me to Yugi.
Right before he made me say those words.
And for that I hate Yugi.
I can feel the blood. I feel dirty. It's everywhere, soaked all over Yugi's face, over my clothes and the bed.
And yet, if you asked I'd still say Vampires.
I think I always will.
I don't think I'd have the courage to do it otherwise if it didn't start the way it did when my Koi blasted his own brains out.
I was too much of a coward.
I was afraid to die, and for that I was trapped on earth.
And maybe because the tiniest part of me loved Yugi.
Only a small part though.
That's probably why I did it.
Ended what started.
I'm so, so sorry.
There was a lot of blood.
I think the Vampires are coming.
