Chapter 1 - Eyes of Innocence
**Bakura's POV**
I looked down at my lighter self; my reincarnation. I snorted. "Pathetic." He looks like me, has the same silvery long white mane, his body structure, well except that I'm a bit bigger and firmer than this lanky counterpart, and his eyes, those disgustingly large brown orbs staring at mine which are a bit smaller and darkener than those bright ones he has. Once again for the hundredth time for the night he begs me to stop; I smirk as I see him retreating to the wall, cowering before me. By RA I hate him, his innocence; his. why the hell wouldn't he fight back.It just shows how weak he really is. I grab him by his blue jersey and pull him up to me with both hands. He still doesn't fight back instead he shivers in my grasp, his hands holding mine, his feet barely touching the ground, his eyes, his soft brown eyes staring directly into mine, wavering from fear. I growl angrily as I fling him back into the same wall he was only a few seconds cowering against. I sneer as I hear his battered body hit the wall with a sickening thud.
**Ryou's POV**
The moment I slammed against the wall, I felt as though every bone in my body broke. I screamed as the air was knocked out of me, and then unceremoniously crumbled in front of my Yami, my limp hair sprawling at his feet. I laid there gasping for air, my tears falling unto the glassy blue tiles as I prayed that that dark blanket would cover me and bring me out of this torture and give me some temporary release. That release, that was given to me on many an occasion such as this. It seemed as if my prayers would be answered, as I was presently on that brink between consciousness and unconsciousness. I was about to slip into that pool of dark, when suddenly.
**Bakura's POV**
"To hell mortal you're gonna get away from me that easily" I snarled as I thrust my heavy black boot into his side, hearing him cry out in pain and clutch his broken body gave me some twisted sense of pleasure. Now that he was fully awake I thought, my game could continue. I dragged my smaller self by the hair hearing his agonizing cries, his pleas, one hand still clutching his middle, the other gripping my hand, tears poured from his face, sliding down his bruised face. Such a pitiful sight, I shove him against the wall, still holding his by his hair, he is still struggling against me, fighting a losing battle. I slap his other hand away and release his hair, and with the same hand before he falls again I catch him by under his chin. My hold isn't tight, just tight enough to hold this fool up. The mortal looked away from me as I released him. "Stand up" I barked as I notice him lapsing. He knew better than to disobey my orders and fumbled against the wall using it for support.
***Ryou's POV**
I lowered my eyes to him daring not to disobey his order, I knew better than that, but I could feel myself slipping, my eyes closed once again, and I felt a sharp slap across my face and winced feeling the sting after it. Gently I feel his hand again, this time it wasn't painful, just a gentle caress against my cheek, the same cheek he slapped. I sucked in my breath, as I feel his fingers gently play against my skin and I closed my eyes, my held in breath slowly flowed out of my mouth as I began to lean in his hand, hesitantly at first but eventually I was whimpering against his touch ~why couldn't he be more like this~ I mistakenly allowed my thoughts to stray ~why does he have to constantly hurt me so much~ My worse mistake was looking up at him.
**Bakura's POV**
I heard his thoughts wonder to my mind and smirked I was contemplating weather or not I should inflict him any a more pain as yet as I myself was enjoying the tenderness of his skin when he looked up at me again with those eyes, no matter how soft they were that innocence pierced my dark soul. I was suddenly very pissed "Because you're a weak, pathetic, mortal you fool" I snarled as I took my sharp nails and dug them mercilessly into his tender flesh, that same flesh I was enjoying earlier drawing blood he yelped and backed from me into that same wall I chuckled wanting to see how far back into that wall he could possibly go. His hand holding that injured cheek. I licked the blood from my fingers and he watched me petrified by my actions. I gave him a smug look then his eyes were transfixed unto mine. I stared hypnotized almost by them, until releasing a painful blow, right in his face, my target; his left eye, followed by his right, he slumped back. I knew damn well that I had knocked him out and I blamed him; he never should have looked at me with those eyes, never. Turning to looked at the clock it realized that it was only 1 am in the morn in the next six hours he'd better be ready for school not that I cared that much for his education. I just didn't want his mortal friends coming up by his door step especially that short Yugi kid.
