~I'm warning you now. Mature themes. This describes how Yami dies…Bakura is evil. I hope the length makes up for not updating for awhile guys! ~

Thunder roared in the distance as the ground shook. A white haired man walked around the dark room that was only lit by the moon itself. The demon himself looked pure evil as the moon radiated off his pale skin. The night's features surrounded the whole room and suffocated the atmosphere. Darkness rested in every corner as he paced across the room.

Another roar of thunder occured and finally the man had enough.

"Where is she?" he growled.

Bakura sighed as he threw himself onto his now Ryouless bed. His long white hair drifted all over the place as he landed. Bakura let out a feral growl as his head hit a pillow. He sat waiting for his guards to return his beloved pet. He couldn't wait to have his toy back, it was just so boring without her.

Where could his Ryou be? The guards had already checked the town over three times! What was going on in his yadonushi's head right now? She couldn't possibly think she could escape him right? No, she learned by now hadn't she?

Of course she had…She had to.

Why had she run? What could the tenshi want? He would give her anything in a heartbeat! What would it take for her to except him? She would have the whole world at her feet if she would only except him...The whole world would bow to her! She wanted that didn't she? She would only have to be with him…

A small chuckle made it's way out of the back of his throat as he came across the answer.

Freedom. Ryou wanted freedom...Freedom was the one thing his tenshi would never have as long as he was alive. His feral grin showed upon his face again. Ryou would stay with him until the end of time and there was nothing that could stop it.

Bakura was halted in thought as an unusual feeling hit his mind. It took him a minute to recognize it as his and Ryou's mind link. A horribly twisted smile made it's way to his face as he knew the location of his pet.

-
Ryou ducked into the shadows once more as more of Bakura's guards searched for her. She pulled her black cloak down some more over her head trying to hide all of the white strands of hair. She hid behind a giant barrel in the dark corner of an alley. A wooden fence lay right behind the barrel, making more shadow to hide her in.

"Any luck?" one of the leaders asked more guards.

Ryou halted every motion as she focused on listening to them. She had to make a plan to ditch the guards or else she would be found immediately. She could only imagine what terrible things Bakura would do to her upon her return to her prison. The guards shook their heads as they looked at the ground, afraid to face the leader. Ryou heard a growl emanate from the leader's mouth before he gave them orders.

"Go search the west side of town, and don't stop till I have commanded it!" He yelled as the guards all scattered and ran past him.

Ryou sighed as she thought she was out of the clearing. She slid over the wooden fence's huge gap and pulled herself through, escaping her dead end. She then ran to a collection of old abandoned skyscrapers that had gone out of business as soon as Bakura had plunged the world into darkness.

She was panting when she reached the buildings but she had no time to waste. If one of the guards saw her it would be the end of her freedom and she would be returned to her yami. That thought pushed her feet to run even faster if that was possible. She climbed to at least the half point of the building before she finally sat down to breathe.

Tears poured from her eyes as the seriousness of the situation sank in. If found she would be stuck with Bakura for the rest of her life, stuck as his slave for her whole life.

She couldn't be found! Ryou just couldn't imagine what torture she would be put through if she was found. What would Bakura have done to her? She was sure whatever it was it wouldn't be merciful. He was never merciful. For years she was forced to watch him torture his victims and he did torture them severely. Like Yami…

Ryou felt her heart stop beating for a moment as she thought of Yami. Bakura had made her watch him kill the former game king. He had made her watch Yami's death. Bakura made her watch as he stabbed Yami over and over again the chest. Ryou was forced to watch as Yami's heart was pulled out of his chest and thrown on the ground. She had to watch as Bakura laughed and kicked the dead body looking purely mad.

She felt like puking as she remembered what had happened after the death.

Ryou had been brought back to the 'palace' as Bakura called it. It wasn't a palace…It was just a bunch of buildings that had been melded together with gold, all because of Bakura. He had brought her back to his room…

~memory~

Tears fell from her eyes as Bakura's arm held tightly around her waist. Where was he taking her? They had passed her room a long time ago but he had held onto her and told her he needed to speak to her. What had she done wrong this time? Her eyes stayed glued to the ground as Bakura continued to pull her toward a random direction.

Silence was all that there was as he lead her toward two gigantic, golden doors. Ryou looked up for a moment to stare at the huge doors as she felt Bakura's arm unloop from around her. What did this lead to?

Her eyes widened as his hand firmly grasped her chin and forced her to look up at him.

"Welcome to my room pet" he said as a smirk made it's presence across his face.

Ryou gulped as he turned his attention to the doors and opened them to reveal a huge room. She felt her eyes become bigger as she looked into an Egyptian style room. The whole room looked like a tomb to her. Bakura really missed Egypt didn't he?

Ryou felt his hand grab her shoulder and lead her into the room.

"Go get on the bed Ryou" he said to her as he pushed her forward and turned toward the doors to close them.

Ryou felt her heart stop and she wasn't able to breathe for a moment.

"W-what?" she asked as she sensed Bakura walking up behind her.

Shivers went down her back as she felt his breath on her neck.

"I said go lay down on the bed Ryou" he said as he leaned in and began to kiss the back of her neck.

Ryou became terrified as each kiss made her know what was going to happen if she were to lay on the bed.

She felt his hands on her shoulders gently pushing her forward toward the bed. Her mind was finally able to snap out of her initial shock as they began moving toward the bed.

"N-no" Ryou mumbled as they made it half of the way there.

"What was that?" Bakura growled as he tightened his grip on her.

"No!" She yelled again as she made a cry as Bakura dug his nails into her shoulders.

She was turned around to face her yami as he growled at her.

"Get on the bed NOW ryou!" he yelled as he pushed her forward and her knees hit the front of the bed.

"Bakura please!" she yelled in desperation as he was suddenly next to her and pushed her the rest of the way onto the bed.

She was silenced as Bakura's lips came crashing down on her own. Tears began to fall again as his hands were forcing her down against the mattress.

There was a smile on Bakura's face as he pulled away from Ryou and looked into her eyes.

"I love you Ryou" he said as he leaned back in and began to kiss her again.

Ryou felt her thoughts and fears snap in two as she processed what he just said. WHAT? Bakura he, he loved her? No! This- this wasn't love! This was lust, it wasn't love!

Love was holding hands and hugging at night. Love was walking in the park and talking about the future. Love was being with that one person that made your heart skip a beat and made you feel like you could do anything because you had their love. This wasn't love.

It wasn't love!

"Hold still Ryou" his voice said as it snapped her awake.

Ryou felt her heart break as Bakura started to mess with her top. There was nothing she could do…

~end~

Ryou pulled her knees into her chest as she rocked herself back and forth. She couldn't be found again. She couldn't go back to Bakura. He didn't love her. He was just obsessed with her. That was it. If she was returned to Bakura…she would kill herself before she was returned to Bakura.

~Yays! Hope ya'll like! I do! I hope the blood, and well torture makes up for not updating for awhile, sorry!~
