Hey well I'm back I re-read my fiction and the grammar sucked so I tried my best this time round to make it better. Some of my friends ask about what Ryou has so here is the list:
Psychosis, OCD, believed to be Autistic, Panic attacks and insomnia.
I've decided I'm doing heartshipping (RyouxYugi) with a little bit of angstshipping/Deathshipping (RyouxMarik/Malik) its going to be main friendship between Malik and Ryou though. Anyway here's the second chapter let me know what you think and thanks for the reviews.
There he stood in the doorway looking at the people walking through the hallway. But he refused to cross the threshold. He hesitated and tried to do it but his legs refused to work. He always hated people. Always.
People are duplicitous and envious by nature, that's why close friends generally betrayed powerful men. Just look at Judas and Jesus or Brutus and Caesar. There is no reason to trust one another. Everyone is after something.
He knew that was a nasty way of think but it was true, everyone besides his family were cruel and nasty to him, now they were gone he was alone in the world. As he stood there the hallway became clear as he stepped out into the hallway nervously, his heart was beating fast, it was silly to get himself all worked up over nothing but it was hard not to. It was lunchtime and most people were in there. Even though he was hungry he didn't want to go in there with all the people.
Ryou stood there in the hallway deep in thought; he stood back against the wall trying to avoid anyone who walked past. If there was one thing he hated it had to be people touching him, spreading there diseases and germs on to him. He always wondered why people would want that to touch one and another. If he had just had the nerve to touch his sister or to hug her just once before she died he could of remember the warmth of her body but it had been so long it was a distant and vague memory.
But it was hard to do it, after all when most people touched him they would just hurt him or worse they get hurt themselves, it was hard to control Bakura, he seemed to have a way to break through to reality and leave Ryou in the dark.
Flash back
Ryou lay there with his hands above his head for protection against these kids, they were cruel and he didn't understand why the hated him. They'd always bullied him. They said he was a freak and a retard. It wasn't true at all.
"kill them, hit them, do something don't just sit there, your so pitiful just fight back" the voice screamed, that horrifying voice that belong to that man who had hurt him. He shuddered at the thought. It was mocking him, taunting him but he refused to listen and ignore the demon in his head.
"Kick his head in Haru, see if we can get some blood come out" One of the kids suggested and the one kicking him began to hit hard and Ryou couldn't take much more.
"Let me in control" it commanded but as much as Ryou tried he knew what was coming. Ryou felt a funny sensation in his chest before a burst of light shot his body causing the kids to back away as a ring on energy appeared on his chest the shape of the millennium item he had locked away at home. Bakura rose to his feet and approached the three kids. No one was in sight so Bakura was safe. He threw at fist at the tallest boy, Haru, who had done the most damage, he launched on the boy hitting him again and again after a while he looked down at the bloody mess that was the boys face, the other kids looked on in horror as Bakura Raised his blood cover fist to them as a threat.
He punched the boy under him a few more time until the boy was no longer moving...or breathing before he went after the other two, he caught one and used him to knock the other down like a bowling pin, before descending upon the boy. An echo of screams fled through the narrow passage...
Ryou awoke in an alley, his body ached from the beating as he rose to his feet, he looked at his fist wondering if it was his blood or not. Either way he wanted it gone and he dipped his hand in a puddle and uses his other sleeves to dry it, rubbing furiously at his hand until it was red and draw not wishing to have such germs on his skin. He looked around and found no one he couldn't hear that voice. Maybe he had passed out and that's why the boys had left. He could only hope.
Not wishing to know the detail Ryou slowly stood up and for his body to move as he ran home painfully, every inch of his body screaming. When he got home he made sure that he tidied himself up just in case anything happened.
End of flashback
Ryou was so busy inside his mind he didn't noticed his body being collided into till he was on the floor. Ryou took a while to register what was going on and his eyes lay upon a boy sitting on his chest. He had on the most unusual hairstyles ever that Ryou though this must be a dream; he looked about Ryou's age and was looking down at him with fear and sorrow. After the shock had set in he realized the boy was sitting on him, and further more touching him and his eyes widen and he started to pull back making the other boy jump off him and back away
"I'm so sorry I really am, God why am I so stupid, I wasn't looking a-and Dammit," He cursed
"Its-" before Ryou could finish speaking, the other boy took off down the hallways leaving him on the floor dazed and confused. "-Ok," He muttered to himself knowing the boy wouldn't hear.
Ryou pushed himself back off and swept the dust of and decided he may as well make the trip to the canteen. Even though the though of eating made him feel sick.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Ryou opened the door with his hand, which he had covered with is sleeve and walked into the room pack full of people. All in the same clothes, like sheep, Ryou walked through the door and slowly made his way through. He had been told earlier that day that he had to eat something or they start supervising him while he eat and the thought of that made him cringe.
Ryou was quite short compared to most the people here and a lot younger, so he had to push his way through the big crowd of people who were lining u for there food, all pushing and shoving, but he was more focused on trying to make little body contact. He looked round the room trying to find a place to sit where hardly anyone was, but there were so many people in there and it was hard to see over them.
As Ryou pushed his way through he hit a hefty man's body full pelt, which sent him to the floor. All he could see was a sea of people feet, dressed in the same white slippers. He decided the best tactic was defense so he cover his head and hoped he get a chance to stand up, but it was hard when people's feet kept slamming into him.
Suddenly a hand came down and grasped the upper sleeve of his shirt and pulled him up. Ryou closed his eyes as he was pulled out of the massive crowd touching everyone as he went through, he would defiantly shower twice tonight. Ryou felt his body stop moving but he refused to open his eyes.
"Am I going to get a thank you or what?" Said a voice that sounded slightly amused. Ryou slightly opened his eyes to realize he was now in front of a table, before him stood a tan figure, with platinum blond hair that stood on end. A cocky smile lay upon his face as he looked at Ryou who became nervous under his daunting stare and backed away
The Tan boy looked a few years older than Ryou and a lot taller. His muscles were well tone as you could see through the weak material of his shirt and he looked of Egyptian origin. The boy cleared his throat to get Ryou's attention. Ryou looked up at him with wide and confused eyes, before remembering what the boy had said.
"T-Thank Y-You," He stuttered and noticed there were other people there, they were sitting on the table some were looking at Ryou others there food and Ryou went Red and looked down at the floor, his shyness kicking in. The tanned boy gave a relaxed smile and nodded to him.
"There we go," He said in a light and happy tone. He extended and hand to Ryou to indicate he wanted to shake, but Ryou stared at it in confusion "I'm Malik Ishtar and you?" He asked as if Ryou was four. After he noticed Ryou wasn't going to take his hand anytime soon he withdrew it and placed to behind his back.
"Ryou," He muttered very quietly but didn't wish to start a conversation he looked around for an easy way out the hall but before he could even move away a blond hair boy grabbed him around the shoulders and smiled widely at him
"Ryou eh?" The boy said with a heavy American accent, Ryou jumped and backed away from the blonde's touch as if it burned and let out a little yelp. The blond boy looked at him in confusion but after a few seconds that dumb smile was back on his face.
Ryou noticed the other teens around him there were two more of them, One was a very taller brunette who was looking at him with disdain, his blue eyes piercing into his soft brown ones Ryou made sure to avoid eye contact and looked at the other. He had long Black hair that was tidied up and he was fiddling with something that appeared to be dice, but he wasn't looking at Ryou but his food.
"'m Jonouchi, call me Jou or Joey," Jonouchi smiled prodding his thumb into his chest and Ryou gave another nervous nod, he wanted to get away from them all, he wasn't hungry anyway. They were just making him panic the contact and conversations were making him uneasy.
"Leave him alone mutt I'm sure he doesn't want to be bothered by losers like you," The brunette stated harshly making Ryou more nervous, especially when Jonouchi glared at him and pulled his arm out and pointed at Kaiba accusingly.
"What's dat supposed ta mean?" Joey asked loudly making Ryou jump again, as Joey and the brunette argued Ryou slowly back away hoping to get free, he turned round but he walked head first into Malik chest. Ryou hastily moved as far away as possible rubbing his hand together to removed the 'germs'.
"Going somewhere?" He asked leaning down to Ryou's level. He moved his mouth down to Ryou ear and whispered "They do this all the time so don't worry, Kaiba's being a jerk if thing get out of hand Duke will split them up." He pulled back and crossed his hand over his chest with a smirk and moved his head to gesture the kid with the dice in his hand. Ryou just nodded dumbly, even what Malik said was true the fight was beginning to seem more violent as Joey appeared ready to hit Kaiba.
Ryou watched them argue and when Joey's voice rose Ryou scrambled to his feet in panic and horror these people are weird he thought and the loud noise of the canteen became more apparent to him. It was so loud. He was sure Malik was talking to him but he couldn't drown out the sound. He began to breath heavy and that's when he realized he was having a panic attack.
He had them quite often, mainly when he got nervous or overwhelmed, and he was defiantly feeling both right now. He puts his hand over his ears and tried to calm his breathing but was feeling increasingly sicker.
"Hey are you alright kid?" Malik asked looking at him confused and bent down to his side, Ryou had his eyes shut tight and his breath was loud, he had lost most the color in his face. Malik shot a glance over at Kaiba and Joey, it was amusing how easily Kaiba could aggravate Joey, but at the moment he need Kaiba's help, after all he knew a lot about this kind of stuff. He was the smartest one in this place and that's including the doctors.
"Kaiba knock it off and give me a hand," He yelled at him in slight panic and gesture to Ryou's odd behavior. Kaiba stood up, he was very tall and thin but his posture was straight and intimidating. He stalked over to Ryou bumping his shoulder into Joey's before crouching before Ryou. He listened to his breathing and then stood back up
"I'm guessing panic attack, he just need to calm down," Kaiba explained in that cold, harsh tone of his "He probably got overwhelm and freaked" Kaiba said sitting back down once again, not seeming to bothered about the boy trembling.
Malik watched the boy and felt great sympathy for him, he reached out to rub his back but Ryou flinched away and whimpered slightly as if he was hurt in some way. Malik began to realize he couldn't comfort the boy like that, he seemed to hate being touched, but what else was he supposed to do?
"Hey come on your doing fine, don't worry it should be over soon," Malik said softly to him causing Kaiba to rolls his eyes.
Ryou felt himself calm down. His heart was no longer thumping against his chest and his breathing had lower. The noise had calm down and the only thing he could hear is Malik's kind words, he hadn't hear language like that used towards him since his family died. After the attack had passed Ryou slowly opened his eyes and looked up to be meet by a pair of lilac color eyed filled with concern.
"Are you feeling any better now kid, you scared me there for a moment," Malik laughed trying to lighten the situation but Ryou looked away going red, he couldn't believe he had just done that. He looked up to notice Malik and his friends weren't the only ones looking at him, there were other people around the room and Ryou felt his stomach drop and he suddenly felt like hiding under the table, but resisted the urge.
Ryou scrambled to his feet and nodded to Malik as a thank you, before bolting out the room leaving Malik confused. Malik turned back to his friends and smiled.
"Sweet kid huh?" He sat by Joey and sighed, the boy looked so angelic and Malik couldn't help but wonderer how a sweet boy like that ended up in a place like this, though it was obvious he had a few mental problems "A bit weird but very cute" He smiled at Kaiba who nodded slightly.
"Alright time to return to your rooms," The sharp voice of the orderly interrupted Malik thoughts as he stood up onto his feet. He began to make his way out the room, Joey in tow with him and Kaiba and duke wondering at the back. He looked round and noticed someone was missing from there little friendship group.
"Hey where is Yug today?" He asked noticed his short friend was not here. Yugi was a kind kid but he was pretty dangerous when he wanted to be. Malik sometimes overlooked the fact that Yugi wasn't here, they were that close but Joey was very close with him.
"Yug's not feelin' to good," Joey explained to him in his usual laid-back attitude. "I'm going to sneak out my room later and visit him want to come?" Joey asked with a happy smile plaster across his face. Malik just shrugged.
"Sure why not." Malik said, he and Joey prepared plans to go see him until they went there separate ways to their room. As Malik looked don the hall he noticed a white blur run from his room to the bathroom and Malik smiled it's that kid He though and decided to follow the boy after he got a few things ready before he went.
&&&&&&&&&
Ryou was in the shower about to cleaning himself from the day's filth, he could practically feel it crawling on his skin. He cleaned himself twice over, lathering soap on the best he could, the silence of the room relaxing him. He scrubbed at his skin till it was red and raw.
The silence of the room was broken by the sound of laughter and little giggles which unnerved him. Ryou suddenly felt very self-conscious and turned the shower off, he grabbed a towel and made his was out of the room. Before he could get to the door he bumped into the solid physic of a man that stood before him, he had dirty blond hair that stuck out in tuff under a bandana, which had the American flag on it.
Behind him stood three other people, one was about his age, his skin hung to his bones making him resemble some sort of human skeleton, the other two looked older in about there twenties, they bother wore identical sneers and they were call cackling like hyenas.
"I didn't know we had a new kid here, one of you bone heads could of told me," The Blond man snapped at the three behind him, The man reached out to touch him and Ryou jumped back.
"We didn't know boss," The tallest man replied, he had a hint of a accent and looking a deathly pale as the others.
"Sorry Keith," the young boy said but jumped when the man shot him a glare and raised his fist "Sorry, I'm sorry," he called in panic and fear
"You never call me that," The man apparently name Keith turn his attention off the other boy and back to Ryou, as the man reached out again, aiming lower this time, Ryou panic and charged pasted the guy as fast as he could, one hand clutching the towel. Keith caught up to him with easy and slammed him against the wall; the pain and contact made Ryou panic and thrash widely.
The man's hand began to go low and as Ryou tired to scream a hand was clamped over his mouth. Keith made a shushing noise. Ryou could hear the door open and tired to draw more attention to himself but Keith's grip got tighter.
"Ryou?" A voice called, which Ryou recognized as the man from the canteen, Malik. "Ryou are you in here Ry…" He trail off when he was what Keith was doing and he narrowed his eyes "What the fuck are you doing!" Malik screamed in anger, this made Ryou jump and Keith glare
"Having fun," Keith said simply.
Malik charged at Keith, who let Ryou drop to the floor, and they began to wrestle on the floor. Malik began to win but Keith's cronies got involved pulling Malik away and holding him in place. As Malik got outnumber and tapped, they began to attack.
