Perish

By KiteShinigami

~o~ "the world" from .hack//SIGN --You are here/ Alone again/ In your sweet insanity/ All to calm/ You hide yourself/ From reality--

"Get up."

No response.

The Yami growled and kicked his Hikari.

"Now, bitch."

Ryou didn't move. He was still conscious. But in a different form. He was lost within himself.

The Yami grabbed Ryou's silver hair and locked their eyes together. He instantly dropped him soon after.

Ryou's eyes.they were blank. Devoid of any and all emotion. Dead. Lifeless.

Broken.

--Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty? When all the world turns away/ To leave you lonely/--

The Yami dropped down to his knees and stared into the boy's eyes. Nothing. Not a trace of life could be found, yet.he was still alive.

"Have I gone too far? Why are you like this?" The Yami absently mumbled.

It was true that he might have gone too far with this "lesson". He had added rape for the Hikari's defiance.

"But.that's still not enough to do..*this*," He whispered, reassuring himself that his Hikari would be just fine.

The Yami stood up, "Not that I care. I hate you. I wish you were dead. But I being a spirit we can't have that now can we?"

Ryou's body just kept staring forward from its spot on the floor.

The Yami bent down and whispered into his Hikari's ear, "Don't worry.as soon as I have collected enough energy from you, I will have my own body and I can finally kill you."

Blink. A sign of life? Maybe not. Stillness.

"Heh. Snap out of it soon. It's annoying me." With that he returned to the Sennen Ring.

--The fields are filled with desires/ Our voices crying for freedom/ But all in vain they will fade away/ There's only you/ To answer you/ Forever--

Where am I-Who-Who? Am I?

I can't reach you. I can see you. Whoever you are. Who are you?

Standing over me. Your eyes are red? Is that bad? Are you O.K.? I can't reach you.

I

Can't

Move.

Why?

Your name is Yami? Where did I learn that? Why? Will you help me remember?

Do you care?

Are you mad at me?

I'm sorry.

Whatever I did. What did I do? Am I real? What am I?

Game.

Is this all a game? I'm not real, but.you are? Do you control me? Did I lose?

Am I real?

--In blinded mind/ You are singing/ A glorious hallelujah/ The distant flutter of angels/ They're all too far/ Too far to reach for you--

It's been an hour at the least and he's STILL like that! I can't take it anymore! Right now is a good enough time as any to take that last bit of energy required for my solid body.

"This is your last chance."

Kick. Energy.

"Why do I even give you chances?"

Slap. Energy.

"I hate you."

Punch. Energy.

"But.I'll give you 10 seconds to cut this crap and fight back."

Nothing.

"10.9.8.7.6.5."

Blink. Blink. Stirring.

"4.3.2.1."

Moan. He's awake now? Oh, how convenient.

"0"

--I am here alone again/ In my sweet serenity/ Hoping you will never find me/ In any place/--

A sweet autumn wind blows through the Domino graveyard. A boy stands laughing over a grave. The Yami.

"I told you I'd kill you. I've done you a favor. Now rest in peace, hikari. For you've suffered enough hell from me."

Ryou Bakura 1988-2003 May you finally be free

The Yami laughed at the inscription, turned, and walked away.

--I will call it solitude/ When all my songs fade in vain/ Fly my voice/ Far away/ To eternity/--
