//..// Ryou thinking to Bakura or to himself

/.../ Bakura thinking to Ryou or himself

****** scene change

Ryou called out in pain. But Bakura ignored it and walked into the house dragging Ryou behind by his hair.

Bakura threw Ryou onto the bed and stared hungrily at him. Ryou backed into the hard backboard of his king-sized bed. Bakura smirked as he walked slowly toward the trembling boy.

~Ryou's P.O.V.~

My whole body trembled as I saw him coming towards me. His smirk sent a cold shiver down my back. He got to the end of my bed and sat down. He studied me for a second before reaching toward my face. SLAP! My eyes watered as I felt his hand hit me on my left cheek. A second blow came and I was knocked unconscious.

~Bakura's P.O.V.~

I watched as his fragile body went limp on my last hit, and slid from the backboard into the bed. I smirked. //This was going to be easier than I had thought. // I thought as I reached towards his soft, white hair. It felt like silk and looked like snow. I'll never admit it but I think I'm starting to have feelings toward my hikari. // What am I thinking?!// I scowled myself. // You can't start showing your feelings now! How do you expect to take over the world if you're merciful? // My hikari's scent filled my nose as I came ever so close to his face. I trailed my finger down his jaw line and lifted his lips up to mine own. His were so different. So exotic, sweet and... Soft. Mine, there were rough from all the gnawing I gave it. I watched for a while as he slept or rather yet, I watched as he tossed and turned crying in his sleep.

~Regular P.O.V.~

"No! No. Please. Stop . Don't hurt me. I didn't mean to." Ryou cried as tears streamed down his redden, slightly cheek unknowingly. Bakura couldn't help but feel the least sad and guilty about what he had cause. // STOP!! Stop having feelings for the mere mortal! He's nothing but another stepping stone to my plan to rule the entire world and plunging it into eternal darkness.// Bakura thought angrily. He turned and disappeared back into the ring to think of yet another plan to steal the rest of the millennium items.

**********************************************************

Ryou opened his eyes as the sun shone through his window. He walked into his huge bathroom and looked into the mirror and at his reflection. There was a purple-red, swollen mark on his left cheek. He touched it softly as he remembered what happened last night. // I wish he was never here and my dad had never given me that ring.// he thought as he brushed his teeth and got dressed in his usual, green shirt with a white sweeter over top. He went to reach for his night table, expecting to find his millennium ring sitting where it always sits before he puts on, but it wasn't there.

// Hm. Funny, I remember leaving it here. // he thought as he searched for it. //oh well, I guess it'll find me later then... // It was true. The ring always seem to find its way back to him every time he tried to get rid of it. His Yami came back when Yugi's spirit of the millennium puzzle sealed him into the shadow realm in their duel. Then Tristan threw it as far as he could out into the wilderness of the forest at Pegasus' castle. It came back every time and there was no way of preventing it. Even Yugi's spirit couldn't stop him.

He walked to school still thinking where and what his Yami is doing, as Yugi and his friends ran up to him. Ryou thought for a second if he should hide his bruise from them since every time they see it, they ask him what happens. He lied to them before but they soon got suspicious and he told them about his Yami and how he was abusing him. From that moment on, his Yami's abuse got worse and all Yugi and his Yami could do was ask him if he was all right everyday. // Well, here it goes// Ryou thought as he finally decided to just pretend nothing happened. //no use of trying to hide it, they'll find out sooner or later. Like they always do.//

" Hey Ryou!" Yugi called as he ran up to the white haired teen. "What happened to your cheek?" he asked, as he got close enough to sell the bruise.

"Err... nothing." Ryou replied unsure if they were going to believe him.

"Hey! It's okay, there's no need to be embarrassed" Joey smiled. Ryou looked at him confused.

"It happened to me too..." Ryou got even more confused.

"It was just yesterday when I woke up and fell off my bed and hit myself on da head." Joey explained noticing the clueless look on Ryou's face.

"What? I didn't-.." Ryou stopped. // Don't they remember the ring?//

"Do you guys know the ring I always carry around?" he asked.

"Um. what ring, Ryou?" Tristan asked.

//they don't?!!!! But that would mean.. did I not get it from my dead for a birthday present?//

"Um. guys. I just remembered something that I have to do. See you later." He waved as he sprinted off.

Ryou ran through the busy streets and into a building with a large sign in the front that says: THE ROYAL RESEARCH CENTRE. He walked up to the secretary who buzzed through the PA system for his father.

"Dad!" Ryou cried as he saw a man with dark brown hair walking into the lobby.

"Hey son, nice of you to visit me. Is there a problem? I thought you were with your friends." His dad replied.

"Dad, I need to ask you something. For my sixth birthday, what did you give me?" Ryou said quickly.

"Um. that's a hard question... You know, it's been so long ago. let see now..." his dad's brown eyes, identical to Ryou's, concentrated.

"Please dad. you have to tell me..." Ryou pleaded as he urged his dad to think harder.

"I think, I'm positively sure it was that electronic truck that cost like a fortune." His dad finally answered giving Ryou a weary smile as old memories flashed in his mind.

"Oh... er. Thanks dad. See you later then I guess." Ryou said as he walked out of the building's revolting glass doors. // Was it just him or did he just hear his dad say that he didn't get the ring for his sixth birthday? Then... that would mean.. That his Yami was never there..// this was what Ryou had always wanted. His freedom, his life, his body, to be his own again. And now, finally prayer, after prayer, wish after wish, it finally came true. He no longer has to worry about his Yami hurting him or using his body to hurt other people.
