Heh. Well, actually I'm doing it 'cause I just read a fic with this song. But this isn't a song-fic, it's vid. Most people don't know the difference, so here is:
Songfic: a fiction that is like a movie with the song plays in the background, like they sometimes do in movies (or in the Shebang episode of Static Shock -_-U)
VidFic: A music video. The only sound is the song. It doesn't just help induce the feeling, it IS the feeling. Meaning that the only description is visual because the noise is the song and the other senses can't be shown through TV. And there's no past, unless it's show. Like- he had smiled then. You can't do that unless you actually show it Anyway…-_-U
Bakura: *growls, murderous glint in eye* *sarcastic* is that ALL YOU'RE GONNA SAY?
Beverly: *smirks* Well, if you insist…
Bakura: SHUT UP!!! *Pounces and proceeds to try strangling life out of authoress, when*
Seto: Umm…Bakura? I think you might want to look at this…
Bakura: WHA- Oh my RA!!! *In a jaw-drop, utterly speechless state of shock* Ryou's…
Beverly: *rubs throat and tries to smirk* *raspy voice* in leather. You like?
Bakura: HAI! *Runs up stairs where Ryou is standing, sort of-smirking, grabs the light and proceeds to run to bedroom* (In relation to my review to Bloodlust)
Duo: *cheery…and cheeky (as usual)* on with the fic…Oh, and by the way…** is normally actions but Bevy decided that since this isn't an RPG, script fic, it's lyrics for Ryou (27) ~~ Bakura's lyrics (27) -- is both
Beverly: *imitating Bakura since he isn't here* I SING! AND ALMOST MORE THAN RYOU TOO! YAHHHHHHHHHH!!! *Proceeds to pretend strangling herself while seething.* ^_^U
Seto: Oh, She says it's better if you listen to the song at the same time and the albinos-
Bakura: I HEARD THAT!
Seto: O_O the Bakura's ARE singing this the whole time.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain*
Ryou sings softly under his breath, sprawled on the rooftop, amidst the darkness, the whipping winds and the dark clouds. His eyes are half-closed but the part that does show is glassy, devoid of emotion. His skin is pale as the moon, white hair gray and messy with uncare. As a matter of fact, his whole appearance is that way. A light crust of mucus and saltwater has dried on the rim of his eyes. No tears are flowing down his face, however. There's a transparent overlap of him on a bed in a fetal position, face wet with tears that steadily escaped his eyes. Fade of overview.
*Come back and bring back the smile
Come and take these tears away*
Another overview emerges from the darkness. A slightly younger and less pale and dead version of Ryou is crying slightly, hugging a pillow to his stomach. Bakura bends down and whips the tears away with the back of his hand. His lips move and he smirks. Ryou grins shyly. The picture disappears.
*I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me*
Real life Ryou shivers and loosely wraps his arms around himself, attempting to curl up but doesn't do very well. He seems too tired to move. The wind picks up and rain starts pouring on the empty streets, together battering on Ryou's light tee and light gray sweatpants. He closes his eyes before the picture fades to black.
~Unbreak my heart
Say you love me again~
Picture fades in to Bakura, sitting by a riverside, eyes half lidded as he stares at the water, barely visible in the middle of the night. He holds a rock, head tilted to rest on the other arm's fist. He sings.
~Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life~
He leans over to stare at his
reflection. A drop of water somehow falls in the water, disrupting the
reflection and making the hair slightly spikier and the eyes wider, softer. A
reflection of Ryou. He frowns. (The camera turns so all you can see is the
water) He throws the rock into the water angrily. It vacillates and fades away.
*Un-cry these tears
I've cried so many nights*
Fades again to Ryou in the same position. Overlaps of all the nights after he'd left Bakura, flashes of instances he was either lying on the rooftop or in his bed, crying, flash across the screen.
~Unbreak my heart
My Heart~
Overlap flashes stop, one replaces them. That one is Bakura, at the same place as last time but sitting, leaning against a tree to keep him from falling. Holding his Sennen Ring in his lap, blankly staring at it.
*Take back that sad word goodbye*
Still black and white, slightly
yellowish and aged picture of Bakura and Ryou holding each other. Overlap of
both of them in their current position. RL (Real life) Bakura narrows his eyes
in a pained manner rather than in annoyance. He throws the ring as hard as he
can. Simultaneously, Ryou flinches and clutches his chest in pain.
~Bring back the joy to my life~
Something flickers in Bakura's
dead eyes and they widen. He scrambles after the ring and cradles it against
him, as the background picture changes to Bakura hugging Ryou from behind, both
they're fists around the lighter half's Ring.
*Don't leave me here with these tears*
Rain had quenched Ryou's thirst and once again there was water in his body, obvious from the tears again running down his face. He cringes
~Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left~
In between the two bodies, there's a mini overlap of Ryou in tears, throwing something to the ground, grabbing his jacket and running out angrily. RL Bakura's face goes completely blank and he trails off.
*Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me*
The yellowish picture in back
darkens and curls, like if it was being burned. Flashes of other pictures, of
moments with Ryou and Bakura wandering, crying, staying still and staring out
emptily move across the screen. Speeding up until there was nothing but a swirl
of painful memories and darkness
~Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again~
Ryou's side becomes darker and fades out, leaving a solid Bakura cradling the ring he had thrown, eyes tightly sealed, singing broken.
~Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life~
He collapses, face half in the river. His visible eye is half open and glassy. Superposed on the reflection of his face is the repeat of the earlier vision of Ryou leaving, only this time through Bakura's eyes
*Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights*
Bakura hit the water with his fist, shutting his eye, and went dark, Ryou on the rooftop replacing him. He opened his eyes halfway, any more impossible because of the crust formed by tears. He let the tears overflow while he sang, still limp and lifeless.
~Un-break my heart
My heart~
Ryou fades out and a faded picture of Ryou and Bakura with an arm around each other's waist falls into the frame…only it's ripped in pieces. A pair of hands fumbles to put it back together, but in vain. Tears fall on the yellowing paper.
*Don't leave me in all this pain*
The frame moves up to see half of the person trying to put it back together is Ryou, the other half Bakura. Both are crying desperately.
*Don't leave me out in the rain*
Picture returns to Ryou on the rooftop, rain pouring harder than ever and soaking him to the bone, thin white shirt transparent. Lightning flashes through the sky
*Bring back those nights when I held you beside me*
He some how gets the strength to sit up and kneels in the most exposed spot of the roof, screaming at the sky.
~Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again~
The scene suddenly switches to Bakura without warning, who clenches his jaw and sits on his legs, he sings/yells through gritted teeth as he slips the Sennen Ring over his head
~Undo this hurt you caused
~When you walked out the door
~And walked outta my life
Bakura screams his pain at top off his lungs, clutching his head, pulling at his hair in fury at the world.
*Un-cry these tears
I cried so many, many nights*
Ryou's scene overlaps Bakura's, at angles where it looks like they're facing each other. The two backgrounds shimmer and fade, so that there's only darkness and the two parts. Ryou bent over, clutching his stomach like he wants to throw up which Bakura is still facing the 'sky.'
_Un-break my
Un-break my heart_
They simultaneously sit strait and forward and half-open their eyes. They widen in shock and it looks as if they can see each other, inches apart. They look like they're singing to each other.
_Oh baby
Come back and say you love me_
Bakura reaches for Ryou, who lets his tears slip, dampening his face but releasing the empty look in his eyes.
_Un-break my heart_
Bakura smiles ironically and painful, scooting closer to him life
~Sweet darling'~
*Without you I just can't go*
_On!_
They reach for each other and try to clasp they're hands, but are pulled away from each other. They both become smaller and further away. They eyes widen in pain and they scramble to stay together, without avail.
_Can't go on!!!!!!!_
Both fall in a broken heap, surrounded by darkness, and cry, yelling to the gods
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Beverly: voila! Should I make more vid-fic chapters? As in sequel type thing? If so, any songs to do it to?
