Here is the next one. Hope you enjoy ^_^
-Inside the Necklace-
It was dark, very dark and Bakura lived with it, not that he had a choice his very soul cast away into the necklace out of anger and spite of his own heart. Hoping that one day he could have the revenge he deserved on the world. But it seemed he'd been trapped too long, far too long the world was so different. There was electricity and normal houses, this place was cooler then what he was used too but still his heart burned for revenge every night he sat without sleep though spirits didn't really need sleep it was possible, he would just lay and close his eyes and see what his host was thinking or dreaming, drove him crazy that the thing he was dreaming about was his own memory, the very memory that tore him open inside.
He couldn't forget that day, he remembered every detail down to the feeling of the sand and the pain of being tossed off a horse, the fear of Slyther the Dragon looming over in his might doing as commanded. Now these days that haunted him were books and games that people enjoyed and laughed at, but what would they say to someone who had to endure such torment for so long! Bakura was content however already having lost his temper at his host for the night and causing him trouble he decided that was enough, wouldn't do him any good if Ryou was so tired he couldn't move.
The day those two had met was a very long day, Bakura remembered it well and knew Ryou wouldn't forget it too soon either. Although the home inside the necklace was dark just like Yugi's puzzle there were rooms, to be precise there were only two. One was locked but by Bakura's choice and the other he lived in he could create whatever he wished with his mind, but he didn't he would just sit in the corner and think, think over and over, how it was Atem who did this too him.
-Outside the necklace-
The screeching alarm cried out when it hit 7 am, Ryou had managed to go into a dead like sleep and opened his eyes slowly, looking at the shattered window remembering that the good days were far gone now. A morning breeze filtered through the window making Ryou shiver and pull out an old jumper throwing it on to keep himself from freezing, he was only in his boxers all night.
Heading into the bathroom he turned on the tap and waited for it to fill the sink, staring blankly at the mirror as he waited for the sink to fill. Dark bags were under his eyes as he just stared into his own eyes, he wondered if he'd survive the year like this, could anyone survive like this? Turning off the tap he cupped his hands in the water and in a gush splashed it against his face, looking into the mirror he frowned to the grin that looked back at him.
"I thought you were sleeping" Ryou said trying not to show the hint of fear echoing through his mind so clearly. Bakura simply smirked, his eyes burning through the younger, Ryou acted tough but Bakura could see straight through him. "You thought wrong didn't you? No need to take such a tone with me" Yami said smirking.
Ryou turned off the tap and looked from the fierce eyes into the water below him, daring to look back up Yami bakura was gone, from the mirror though not from his mind, Ryou could hear him and soon he saw Yami again stood by the door way that usual cruel grin plastered on his face. Attempting to move on Ryou walked past him clambering under his bed and pulling his school bag onto his bag, he left all his school books in his bag so Bakura left it alone. Ryou yawned sleepily and took off his jumper and slipped on his school shirt doing up the buttons, he shoved on his trousers clumsily and grabbed his bag.
He ran out his room through the small living room and out the door, no breakfast or a drink, he was going to be late at this rate. But if he ran he could just make it, running as fast as he could he ran down the street, he ran past staring eyes and fluttering bit of paper, he heard that cruel chuckle in the back of his mind and Ryou glared at the pavement as he ran, he'd have to clean all that later.
Appearing through the doors of his room he sat and answered his name on the register. Ryou's seat was in the far corner and he hadn't many friends, though he was known by a group in the middle, Ryou watched them chatter and laugh and play, jealousy burned at him as he watched the spike headed boy laughing with his friends. Yugi was his name, Ryou had said only a few words to him but still just watching him and his friends made him burn inside. All he wanted was friends, but anyone that got close Bakura always ruined it.
The day was slow and Ryou spent it staring out of a window, weirdly Bakura was usually quiet at school and often did odd stuff such as appear infront of ryou and watch Yugi, it made Ryou very confused of him being so quiet. Ryou had even sworn he'd seen more then one yugi, but he guessed it was because of his lack of sleep. "Ryou… push him" Ryou jumped in his seat staring into harsh eyes in front of him "w..what?" he whispered confused. Bakura glared and pointed at yugi who was laughing at something Joey had told him. Ryou couldn't believe what he was hearing "push…push him? Why?" Bakura suddenly grinned with no explanation Ryou couldn't feel himself anymore and watched himself get up and move towards the group laughing.
"NO! No Bakura stop!" he cried as he saw himself push yugi over a desk, the room went silent as Ryou stared. Bakura was in control and Ryou couldn't do anything to stop him, he watched everyone stare at Bakura, but of course Ryou realised that everyone would hate HIM for this not Bakura but Ryou! Bakura didn't stay but there was a smug grin on his face that he showed to everyone including yugi who looked plain bewildered and just stared up at Bakura.
Joey quickly lost it and grabbed Bakura by his shirt, Ryou blinked and ended up staring into a rampaging Joey's face, Bakura was watching but for some reason there wasn't much glee on his face, Bakura was silent as he watched on, he wasn't planning to help.
Joey was bright red with rage his knuckle white with how tight he was holding onto too Ryou's shirt "what the hell was tha' for you little…" a fist was held up and came slamming like a bulldozer knocking ryou clean off his feet when joey let go. He landed with a thud and the teacher came in the break it up. Ryou sat up and held his nose that had begun to bleed looking up to see Joey storm off and to see the entire classroom glaring at him. 'Bakura you really did it this time'.
However Bakura didn't seem to be paying any attention at all to him, he couldn't take his eyes off yugi. Not once to even check ryou was alright. "I knew it" he muttered.
The walk home from school was mostly running, Joey was ready for round 2 and Ryou didn't want it so fled. Bolting through the door to his shabby apartment he slammed the door panting, his legs felt shaky and he felt sick from so much running, he was exhausted and hungry and felt like death. "what were you doing!" he asked shouting no longer caring if anyone heard him next door. He seemed angry but when Bakura's angry gaze appeared in front of him his angry courage soon melted away, his eyes met the floor as Bakura spoke "you didn't see it did you? Yugi is not one person, he is like me and you! Two souls one body… I attempted to anger the other to see who it was, but a simple touch did the trick I saw him.." Ryou didn't understand and shuffled uncomfortably "what do you mean?"
Bakura made it sound like Ryou was the only one that didn't know "don't you see that is the wretch that imprisoned me! Its because of him everything has happened!" while speaking he had gotten closer and closer to Ryou, who seemed to be cowering against the door staring into blood hungry eyes. "he is the one I will get my revenge on, and you will help me!" He bellowed not giving room for an argument.
.Ryou didn't know what to do. He just stared gobsmacked by the accusation, yugi wasn't normal either? But then why? Why was he miserable and yugi wasn't! It didn't make sense to him and he became angry inside, Bakura felt the change and smirked "your angry aren't you? Because yugi is so happy, while you wallow here all alone, he has a family where your's abandons you, use this feeling and take your revenge with me.
Ryou glared at the ground before looking up and staring at the other. He didn't know whether he really could exact revenge on another.
