(I don't own any Yu-Gi-Oh! Characters or any of Linkin Park's lyrics."

Bakura sat huddled in his soul room. He was locked in yet again after a particularly bad 'lesson'. Not that it was a lesson. He rubbed his head.

~Graffiti Decorations~

1.1 ~Under a Sky of Dust~

Bakura closed his tearing eyes. He felt sub human, not worth anything. The only thing that kept him from giving up was Yugi Mutah's kind word, "no, nothing is worthless and don't say your worthless because if I believed that I wouldn't be talking to you now…that and Yami wouldn't let me…he thinks I'm frail."

But I'm not as strong as you Yugi, Bakura thought. I'm weak I must be, Yami me said so…but he was a grave robber wasn't he. How do I know he isn't lying?

1.2 ~A Constant Wave of Tension~

~On Top of Broken Trust~

Yami Yugi told me to believe in myself, Bakura thought lying down on his bed, but Yami doesn't seem to want me to stand up for my self or does he? He claims violence is what got him success and is the only way…but I don't think so. Look at Yugi.

1.3 ~The Lessons that You Taught Me~

~I Learned were Never True~

He tensed his arms only to release quickly due to his left dislocated shoulder. Oh god, will some one help me?

~Now I Find Myself in Question~

Joey, Tristen, and Tea don't trust me, because of him, Bakura thought.

1.4 ~They Point the Finger at Me Again~

They think I took their souls. They don't say it but it's noticeable in their actions.

1.5 ~Guilty By Association~

1.6 ~You Point the Finger at Me Again~

Bakura closed his eyes. It wasn't fair to him. He almost wished he could convince them. But no matter what I do they won't believe me. I just want to hide when they look at me that way, Arg! The thought as hot tears rolled down his dirty cheeks.

~I Wanna Runaway~

~Never Say Goodbye~

~I Wanna Know the Truth~

~Instead of Wondering Why~

~I Wanna Know the Answers~

~No More Lies~

1.7 ~I Wanna Shut the Door~

1.8 ~And Open Up My Mind~

And it all comes back to him. The way he abuses people the way he talks, the way he hurts people like me! He wiped one of the tears away and winched in pain, I must have a cut on my face, when he looked at his finger it was colored red with blood, this is his fault.

~Paper Bags and Angry Voices~

1.8.1 ~Under a Sky of Dust~

Bakura sat up winching as every inch of his teenage body hurt, I need to do something.

1.9 ~Another Wave of Tension~

1.10 ~Has More than Filled Me Up~

Oh, like I did anything before that first time when Yami me tried to steal the Millennium Puzzle from Yugi. I just watched, I threatened him but still watched. And I paid for it when he came back! More tears rolled down his cheeks.

~All My Talk of Taking Action~

~These Words Were Never True~

But I'll never live my own life if this keeps up. I might not even live.

~Now I Find My Self In Question~

This is why the others don't trust me.

~They Point the Finger at Me Again~

Because I won't take control, more tears feel but, his eyes were narrowed.

~Guilty By Association~

~You Point the Finger at Me Again~

Bakura careful as he could, popped his shoulder back in place.

~I Wanna Runaway~

~Never Say Good Bye~

~I Wanna Know the Truth~

~Instead of Wondering Why~

~I Wanna Know the Answers~

~No More Lies~

~I Wanna Shut the Door~

~And Open Up My Mind~

He carefully sopped the bleeding on his cheek.

~I'm Gonna Runaway and Never Say Good Bye!

Gonna Runaway Gonna Runaway~

to cushion his He went to go find something bruised ribs.

~I'm Gonna Runaway and Never Wonder Why!

Gonna Runaway Gonna Runaway~

He prepared himself to fight something he never thought he would do.

~I'm Gonna Runaway and Open Up My Mind!

Gonna Runaway Gonna Runaway~

Steady, breath, Bakura thought.

~Mind!~

~Gonna Runaway Gonna Runaway~

Stay calm Bakura, he thought to himself.

~Mind!~

~Gonna Runaway Gonna Runaway~

The doorknob to his should room turned. Bakura held his breath.

~Miiinnnnnndddddd!!!!!!!~

Give me the courage!

~I Wanna Runaway~

~Never Say Good Bye~

~I Wanna Know the Truth~

~Instead of Wondering Why~

~I Wanna Know the Answers `

~No More Lies~

~I Wanna Shut the Door~

~And Open Up My Mind~

"So, what did you get from the last lesson baka?" Yami Bakura asked.

"I go...got something," Bakura said nervously.

~I Wanna Runaway~

~And Open Up My Mind~

"What?" Yami Bakura snapped.

~I Wanna Runaway~

~And Open Up My Mind~

"Uh…"

~I Wanna Runaway~

~And Open Up My Mind~

"Spit it out!"

~I Wanna Runaway~

~And Open Up My Mind~

"I…"

~I Wanna Runaway~

~And Open Up My Mind~

"I will no longer be your Punching Bag."
