AN: Just some drabble from Yami no Bakura's POV. He's having some doubts.
Yami no Bakura x Bakura Ryou if you squint.
Set somewhere around the time of battle city when Bakura Ryou gets hurt.
I watch him sleep.
My weaker self, he dreams in a fitful sleep. Dreams of a darkness that consumes all, a darkness within him that will engulf the world. Yes, he dreams of me, the parasite within his body. The one who causes him endless pain.
I have hurt him.
It had to be done, as a part of the deal between Marik and I. Gain the trust of Ryou's friends, he said. So he has to suffer. Poor, pathetic mortal. He doesn't even remember how he came to be this way. I am not sure he knows that I am responsible. If I had the choice, I would have done more.
But I need him.
He is scared of me, I know by the way he sweats and twitches in his sleep. He cannot escape the nightmare, for it lives in the waking world as well. He shouts and shifts uncomfortably, his expression a mixture of fear and agony.
I dont know if I should be sorry.
Such an innocent boy, heart of gold, and me, a heart of endless black. Was I ever so pure? Perhaps in a time I cannot remember. What light there was has long since been extinguished, devoured by the one I know as Zorc. He was infused in me, a portion of this evil, and now we are one. There is no good left in me. Perhaps that is why destiny seems so against me.
But not this boy.
No, I am sure that somehow, this boy will get his happy ending. But not me, for my life has always been a tragedy. Consumed by the darkness and led astray. My plans will always go awry. For me, there is no hope for salvation, no chance for reform. So, someday, Atemu will crush me into the dirt where I belong, and I will be a prisoner in hell once again. It won't always be darkness and nightmares for this boy.
He will sleep soundly, someday.
