Going Under

B(black)R(rose): Hey everybody, this is my first fic so please be nice when you review but

I am open to all suggestions. If you have any please say so. I hope that the song I chose

fits, (I think it does) the song is called "going under" (thus the title) by Evanescence.

"Conversation"

Chapter One: A Violent Prison

//Now I will tell you what I've done for you

50 thousand tears I've cried

Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you

And you still won't hear me//

'He beats me, he lies to me, he controls me but I still love him. Not matter how hard I try

to push him out of my mind I can't he is my other half, he is my love. He will never hear

me I would never tell him, I can't. I don't know how much he would hit me, I don't know

if he would be able to stop. I won't tell him.' A poor, shattered and beaten Ryou lay on his

bloodstained bed, in his darkened room. Ever since Ryou had found that ring his life had

been nothing but pain. He had not known true happiness since. Bakura, the spirit of the

ring has beaten a defenseless Ryou. In-fact there is rarely a day that goes by that Bakura

has not beaten Ryou. The only time that Ryou is truly safe is when his father is home and

even that only keeps Bakura from hurting Ryou physically. Bakura still prays on Ryou's

mind. Bakura lies and makes Ryou un-trust himself. Ryou's thoughts were interrupted by

an alarming ring. "Agh!" Ryou's tattered body screamed in pain. Ryou reached over and

slowly picked up the phone afraid of who is on the other end. "Hello" Ryou asked.

"Hey, Ryou? It's me Joey."

"Hi Joey"

"Ryou!" An angry Bakura interrupted the two friends phone call. "Ryou, what

have I told you about using the phone? You can only use it with my permission and with

me on the other phone. Give me the phone!" Bakura snatched the phone out of Ryou's

weak hand.

"Hello?" Joey called from the other line.

"Joey?" Bakura questioned.

"Yeah it's me, is this Bakura?"

"Ryou can't talk right now he is sick." That was a lie Ryou was not sick. Ryou

was never sick like Bakura often stated. There was a small silence when Joey questioned

Bakura and then Bakura mumbled an entire conversation to Joey on the phone, but

Ryou's ringing ears could not hear what he said.

"Oh, well I'll call him sometime later then."

Bakura slammed down the phone, obviously furious at Ryou. "What so you think

you were doing? Are you trying to piss me off? Because if you are..."

Ryou cringed at the thought; he never wanted to make Bakura mad. His body

ached at the thought. "No" Ryou mumbled "I would never..."

"Don't blabber on you sappy child. You know that I hate that" Bakura interrupted.

"I'm sorry" Ryou murmured.

"You worthless little rat, don't try and get me to pity you. No one ever will. I'm all

you have don't you understand? That was Joey calling to say that you two are no longer

friends. He said that he can't have a weak friend like you, he said that when you're at his

duels. You keep him from dueling his best because he said that he needs to 'keep and eye

on you', he is right you need to be watched. You can't be left alone. If it weren't for me

you probably would be dead by now. Don't you see? Without me you are nothing. You

have no one."

The small Ryou stared blankly in shock at the things Bakura just said about his

friend. 'Is it true? Am I really holding Joey back? When Bakura gave me Yugi's letter,

Yugi said the same thing. Maybe it really is true. Maybe I am too weak and really do need

someone to depend on. No it can't be true!' "You lie!" The small child produced such a

loud voice that it rattled not only the mirror but Bakura as well. Bakura was shocked at

the small child's outburst; he immediately turned to face Ryou. Ryou soon realized the

mistake in his protest.

"How dare you! I am all you have, I look after you and care for you and this is

how you repay me?!?" Bakura raised his anger-shaken fist and swung it at a small and

terrified Ryou.

//Tormented daily defeated by you

Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom

I'm dying again

I'm going under

Drowning in you//
