There are no parings so far, and I would like to know if I should continue this story, or keep it as a oneshot.
Darker Than Pure
Bakura woke up in his soul room suddenly. Something had woken him, but what? 'Kura. . .' a voice sounding like a younger version of Ryou said. Bakura had never seen Ryou or his soulroom within the millennium ring. Why was he suddenly hearing him? Especially after the incident earlier!
He followed the voice to the locked door that he always assumed was Ryou's soulroom. He heard the lock click and slowly opened the door. The sight he saw surprised him. The carpet was dark gray and the walls black. There were things thrown about the room in disarray. There was even a bookshelf turned on its side.
There was a child version of Ryou sitting at the far end of the room. He was dressed in all white, a sharp contrast to the darkness surrounding him. The child seemed to be painting. Bakura looked around again, this time he saw paintings all around the room. They were mainly paintings of people he had met. He also noticed a small corner that wasn't in disarray. In it there was a bed and paintings of people Ryou considered friends.
He noticed that Ryou's father was among the paintings of people Ryou was scared of. The bullies that picked on Ryou, old and new, were surrounding his father. "I see you've noticed my paintings." The child said. Bakura looked back towards the child, noting the framed picture of what must have been Ryou's mother above him. He also noted that the glass was cracked.
"Ryou-kun has locked himself up in there." The child said pointing to one of the many doors in the room. "He's been there for awhile now, since he was nine I believe. I've taken over for him. Ryou has many personalities. Each is behind a different door. You met Defiance earlier; he doesn't come out often.
Over there is all the good things that have happened to Ryou." The child explained, pointing to the neat corner. "The rest is everything else." The child threw the painting he had been working on towards the corner, it landed just outside of the neat space, on the wall. It was a painting of Bakura.
"Ryou's father abused him after his mother died, that's why he's among the bullies. Ryou should be coming out soon, so I'll just go back to my 'personality room'. By the way, I'm Innocence. And don't be surprised if your painting moves. I have a feeling you and Ryou will get along very well."
When Ryou walked out of the room Innocence had pointed to earlier, he was different. He held himself more confidently. His overall personality was, darker. "So, you are the infamous Thief King that Innocence has told me about?" He asked, looking slightly amused.
