Me: Why hello! Anyways, I've been ignoring Bakura lately so this one is about him! This was inspired by a picture that I saw that was called Run Boy Run. ^^ I thought it was cool. I only own Tenionia.

This is a dream state.

ENJOY!


Bakura frowned as he drifted through the darkness of the void. He wasn't sure why he was here in the dark, but he winced when a sudden light blinded him. He found himself standing on the sand and looking down as a group of young children as young as ten to as old as fourteen. Bakura frowned when he spotted a familiar boy with silver white hair.

"That's me..." He muttered in a daze.

"This was before that night when Kul elna fell."

"Hey Akefia!" One of the boys called and ten year old Bakura grinned as he ran, completely unaware of the danger that lurked nearby. Suddenly light flashed and when Bakura looked at the village, it was burning. Bakura could see everyone he knew and loved running about, trying to escape the guards that were armed with spears and swords. They were killing left and right, even killing woman that were trying to protect their children. Seeing the sight of that horrible memory made Bakura want to throw up.

"Make it stop..." He groaned, turning away from the sight below. However he couldn't tune out the screaming.

"Make it stop!" He didn't care that if anyone saw him, it would ruin his reputation.

"MAKE IT STOP!" He screamed.


"Crap!" He yelled out as he fell onto the floor with a heavy thud.

"Ow." He groaned as he grabbed the side of the bed and pulled himself into a sitting pose.

"Bakura?" He looked to see Tenionia sitting up and looking at him with a confused look on her face.

"What happened? Why are you on the floor?" Bakura sat back on the edge of the bed and looked down at his feet.

"I had that nightmare again." He stated simply. Tenionia frowned.

"Which one?" He turned to her and she gasped. For the first time, since they started to court, she saw the pure raw sadness in his eyes. A sadness that went very deep.

"Oh, the fall of..." She couldn't finish. She and Bakura didn't speak about Bakura's past that much. Tenionia knew that he had lost everything because of Akhenden. It made her angry that the older priest could be so heartless. Bakura bowed his head.

"Yea, that." He inhaled through his nose and plopped backwards on the bed.

"I saw the hours before and during the slaughter. I felt helpless all over again and I wanted to puke." Tenionia curled up against his side.

"I know that was painful to see, Bakura, but you realize what this means?" He looked down at her.

"What?" She smiled lightly.

"It's the gods trying to tell you to move on." Bakura snorted.

"That's stupid." She sat up.

"Bakura, we both had hard childhoods, I'll admit that, but I've moved on from the pain that endured and came back even stronger then before, now maybe it's time that you do the same." Bakura simply grunted and stared at the ceiling. Tenionia frowned and sighed.

"Bakura?" Bakura turned away.

"I don't want to talk about it..." Tenionia sighed sadly. She lay silently next to him and shut her eyes. Bakura listened as her breath evened out again. When he was sure that she was asleep again, he turned on his side and faced her. He smirked when he saw her sleeping face. He lightly kissed her soft lips.

"There are somethings that I can't let go of, princess." He whispered as he fell back into a deep dark slumber.
