Please review and any and all suggestions are welcome. Also please check out my other stories.

Maybe You Should Have Known

Intelligent, pure, innocent, beautiful, and light. Everything I loved, hated, and envied about him. Everything I wasn't.

I was the complete opposite. I was pure evil. I detested the world and every living being. Except him. I was far from innocent. I was tainted. I shed innocent blood. I stole from the good. I destroyed those who believed I loved them. I was Hell in solid form.

I even hurt him. I beat him, yelled at him, and ignored him. I show the feeling I had for him. I knew that in the end I'd just hurt him. I was only good for hurting others and being hurt.

Just like Uncle Shiseiji told me. Every time he beat and raped me, he told me what I was good for. I let him use and abuse me so that he wouldn't hurt the only person I truly loved. I will never regret protecting him.

That morning I faked being sick. I watched you get ready for school. You smiled at me and walked out the door. Your smile always made my body feel warm. I always felt at peace when I saw your brown orbs.

When father went to work I grabbed the envelope I had already closed and set it on your bed. I went to the bathroom and ran warm water. I grabbed one of my razors and set it beside the tub. I stripped myself of my clothes and got into the warming water.

For a while I just lay there. Thinking of Heaven and Hell. Thinking about you. Minutes passed before I grabbed the razor. I brought it to my wrist, watching the contrast of cold silver to warm pale skin. Slowly, I pressed downward before dragging the blade across my skin.

I groaned at the burning sensation that made its way up my arm. After a second I repeated the process on my other wrist, dropping the razor on the ground.

My thoughts faded into nothing. Darkness clouded my vision. My body felt numb. I was slowly dying and had no control.

The only thing I regret about doing what I did is that I never found out how you felt.

Maybe I'll never know.

Dear Ryou:

You are the light that dared to invade my darkness and eventually broke down a small part of the barrier around my heart. I love you more than any man should love his brother and I am forever sorry for the pain I have brought upon you. Your forgiveness is too much for me to ask of, let alone the love I crave from you. So, instead I ask you to forget the person I was and remember me as the person I always wanted to be.

Love,
Your Brother- Bakura
