Chapter I: Crippled for Life
Ryou's PoV
I was walking down the side walk on a frigid December night. I had just done some grocery shopping and was on my way home. The only light guiding my way being the street lamps and the glow emitted from my Millennium Ring. I stopped to cross the street. When I was safely across, I started walking along the winding sidewalks.
Cold seems crippling lame meander through corridors aroma's thick with age
Mark off the day reflections of my life are fading
Pull me out of body, don't want it, don't want in
Feeble frail and rotting, descending
I'm lost in a structure that's collapsing don't want it,
Cast into maker take the body, don't want it, it wants me
I was half way down the walk way when I saw a car swerving around the road. I saw it heading towards me and tried to move out of the way. I was too slow and the car struck me head on. My head hit the pavement pretty hard. I could feel blood pooling around me. My legs felt like hell, I couldn't take the pain coming from them. I prayed to God for someone to find me. I used the last of my strength to turn my head. I saw that the car crashed into a house. The whole front fused with the back. I felt a wave of pain come over my body. It was so intense, I wanted to die. I turned my head back and blacked out.
Past has found it's place, salvation is no more
Will God except my peace, bleached will pardon me
Pull me out of body, don't want it, don't want in
Feeble frail and rotting, descending
I'm lost in a structure that's collapsing don't want it,
Cast into maker take the body, don't want it, it wants me
I awoke in a hospital. When I opened my eyes, they dilated heavily, trying to adjust to the light. Again, pain ran through my body. I clenched my eyes and teeth. My legs, they hurt so badly. I heard someone call my name. It sounded like Bakura.
"Ryou, you're finally awake. Are you ok?" I turned my head.
"Bakura, It hurts so much. My legs." When Bakura heard that, he put on a grim face.
"Bakura, what is it." He said nothing.
"Bakura, tell me. BAKURA!" He finally spoke.
"Well, I have some bad news Ryou." He stroked my hair softly with his hands.
"It seems," He was choking back tears. I was surprised to see this.
"It seems that, you are crippled, and condemned to a wheelchair for the rest of your life." My face looked awestruck. Could I have heard right. Those words brought more pain to me then the physical pain. My life will never be the same. How can I do anything confined to a chair. Now I really wanted to die.
I just want to run, fly kites, wrestle jump, and play
Swim through waves that crash to shore
Memories in me, cocooned in misery
I'm sick and tired of embracing reflections of pastime
Receive me or cast me away
…God please take me away
Resistance, futile, suicidal ideas
I will crucify my own being, satisfy selfish needs
Fuck the deities, justify my own right to what's waiting for me
On the other side, the time has come, lock and load, I'm coming home
I was released from the hospital the preceding 7 days. The time spent there was hell. I had someone waiting on my every word, which I am not used to. It was stupid. I couldn't do anything. Bakura came to visit me every day, though. He has become a lot more compassionate towards me. Bakura came to pick me up at the hospital. He signed me out and wheeled me outside. When we got home, he left me to adjust. I was sitting in the living room watching TV, when the door started knocking. I rolled over to it.
"Don't bother Ryou, I'll get it." Said Bakura. He opened it. There stood Yami and Yugi.
"What do you want." He said coldly.
"We would like to see Ryou. We were worried about him." Answered Yugi, with that innocent look on his face. Bakura hated that look, for very well Yugi was not as innocent as he looked.
"Well he's fine." Said Bakura in an annoyed voice. He slammed the door in there faces.
"Bakura, that wasn't very nice." Again he looked annoyed. But he wiped it off his face and opened the door.
"You may come in, but only for a few minutes." Yugi and Yami stepped in.
"Hi Ryou." Spoke Yami.
"Hello," I said, putting a fake look of enjoyment on my face. It's not that I didn't want them here, but it's hard to enjoy anything anymore when you're stuck like this.
"So how ya holdin' up Ryou?" Asked Yugi.
"I'm doing fine, I guess."
