Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh or this song or the phrase "puppy power" but
one day we'll see.
Notes: This is not a happy fic but at least no one dies so whatever. Oh and the song is "I won't be there" by Simple Plan. By the way "speaking", 'thoughts', song lyrics, just so you know. Also Bakura is referred to as Ryou and Yami Bakura is simply Bakura. One final reminder no one dies, there are some abusing parts but nothing sexual. Please review whether flame or nice I would just want to know if any one reads this. So I'll shut so you can read. (some one in the background, "about time") please excuse me while I kill that person.
Run Away
Chapter 1
"Wait please I didn't m-" Ryou was silenced by a blow across the face. "How dare you? You think you can block a punch and get away with it!" Bakura growled shoving Ryou against the wall. The doorbell rang just as Bakura cocked back his fist. "Don't go anywhere I'll be right back." He laughed as he threw Ryou into his room and locked the door.
'I wonder what Yami Yugi would do to you if I told him about this.' Ryou smiled at the thought but then frowned as he realized what his Yami would do him if he told someone. 'I will just have to handle this on my own.'
I don't want to make this harder than I have to
This is how it has to be
There's so many things I want to say but you just don't listen to me
Ryou aimed a kick at the door and was in mid-motion as Bakura suddenly opened the door. Bakura neatly sidestepped the kick, "You just don't learn do you?"
I don't want to hurt you, you don't want to hurt me
I can't stand you and you can't stand me
We can't rearrange; you could never change me
Say goodbye, nothing I say could change your mind
A soft no escaped from Ryou's lips before Bakura pounced on him. Ryou ended up on his ass with a foot heading straight towards his head. This went on for about an hour until Bakura frowned and picked up Ryou by the back of his shirt. Looking at his work Bakura slightly nodded, 'Mostly bruises, one cut on the side of the face, oh well he can hide it with his hair.' Bakura made sure that none of the bruises were visible. He didn't want Yami Yugi on his case. again. Bakura dropped Ryou on the floor and walked out of the room locking the door before he went downstairs. Ryou slowly got up and gently sat on his bed, 'I know what I have to do. I can't handle it anymore.'
Because I can't stay
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
So don't expect to find my sleeping in my bed
Cuz when you wake up, I won't be there
I won't be there
Ryou banged on his door; "Please I'm starving please," Ryou took a shallow breath, "please master." The door swung open as soon as Ryou uttered that word. Bakura grabbed him by his ear and led him down to the kitchen. Bakura left as soon as Ryou was in the kitchen, "Better hurry up in fifteen minutes you're going back to your room," were his words as the door swung back and forth. Ryou had on big pants that had a lot of big pockets. He proceeded to put food in the pockets, things like peanut butter, bread, crackers, water, and apples. Just as Ryou finished, Bakura came in and once more grabbed Ryou's ear, "Let's go you big baby." Painfully Ryou was dragged up the stairs by his Yami.
Everything I say you find a way to make it sound like I was born just
yesterday
And everything you taught me doesn't mean a thing
So I'm going my way
As soon as Bakura shut the door and locked it Ryou found his school backpack and emptied out the contents. He started to put the food in the front pocket of the backpack. It took him about ten minutes to get all of it in, during that time he heard the phone ring. As Ryou closed the pocket he heard his door being unlocked and was able to stash his bag in a corner before his dark side came in.
"Your little friend Yugi called to make sure you were coming to his little party on Sunday." Bakura sneered. "You didn't tell me about any party perhaps I should break your leg so you won't be able to go." Ryou fell to his knees; "I'll call Yugi to tell him I won't be able to come. I'll tell him that I had something already planned that I can't cancel." Ryou paused waiting for the answer hoping it wouldn't be a kick to the side. Bakura considered his light's idea, 'It is a good excuse very plausible.' Bakura grabbed Ryou's arm and pulled him up to his feet "Okay let's go tell him."
They went into the next room, which had a phone in it. Ryou picked up the phone and dialed Yugi's number. "Hi Yugi!" Ryou said cheerfully. "Oh hi Ryou did Bakura give you my message?" Yugi said into the phone with equal cheerfulness. "Umm yes he did." Ryou looked at Bakura who was motioning for him to pick up the pace. "About your party I can't go." Ryou whispered looking down. "Why not?" Yugi sounded like he was about to cry. "I already had a prior commitment that I can't cancel." Ryou said wishing he didn't have to lie to Yugi. "Sorry." Ryou said. 'I hate when he says that word. He is so done talking.' Bakura thought as he seized Ryou's ear. "Anyway I have to go so-" Ryou said trying to end the conversation so that his Yami wouldn't twist his ear. "How come?" Yugi interrupted. Ryou bit back a yelp of pain as Bakura viciously twisted his ear. "Because Bakura needs to use the phone to call his girlfriend. Bye." Ryou hanged up before Yugi could reply. "Girlfriend, huh!" Bakura laughed as he pushed Ryou in a chair. Ryou glared down at the floor and rubbed his bruised ear.
I don't want to hurt you, you don't want to hurt me
I can't stand you and you can't stand me
We can't rearrange; you could never change me
Say goodbye, nothing I say could change your mind
Once Ryou was back in his room he grabbed some clothes and shoved them into his backpack. Next he put a flashlight in his bag. Then he crawled underneath his bed to the money he had hid from Bakura. Finally he went to his desk drawer to get the two most precious things to him in the world. They were pictures. One was of his mother, father, and himself as a baby. The other was taken at a party Yugi had. Tristan had Joey in a headlock. Joey was bent over so it looked like he was about throw Tristan over his shoulder. Mai was behind Joey with her elbows on his shoulders and her chin was resting on her knuckles. Tea was in a similar position except she was behind Tristan. Ryou and Yugi were sitting on the floor in front of Joey and Tristan arms slung around each other's shoulders. In the background you could see Seto sulking and Mokuba playing with the guitar Yugi had lent him. Everyone was smiling.
Ryou remembered what had happened after Yami Yugi took the picture. Yugi and him quickly rolled apart. Tea and Mai moved back taking big steps. Then Joey really did flip Tristan over his shoulder. Everyone laughed as Yami Yugi snapped a picture of the dazed Tristan. Then Seto actually laughed and raised a hand in the air yelling, "Puppy power!!" Joey ran over to Seto and flipped him over his shoulder too. Joey had his hands in the air and was yelling victory as Seto tripped Joey so that now they were both on the floor. Yami Yugi snapped another picture. Everyone ended up on the floor because they were laughing so hard and more pictures were taken.
'That was before Bakura came and started beating me.' Ryou thought as he put the pictures in the side compartment of his backpack. Ryou finished packing and put his bag back in the corner in case Bakura came back into his room. All Ryou had to do was wait till Bakura fell asleep and he could finally leave this once happy now sad place.
Because I can't stay
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
So don't expect to find me sleeping in my bed
Cuz when you wake up, I won't be there
Bakura was walking slowly up to Ryou's room thinking about what he was going to do to the kid. 'He seems to be more cheerful or more confident than usual I think I'll change that.' Bakura pressed his ear to Ryou's door listening for any sounds he heard pages being flipped. Bakura smirked as he unlocked the door and entered Ryou's room. Ryou looked up from his book to see his Yami smiling as he shut the door. Ryou put his book down but did not get out of the chair he was sitting in. Bakura stood in the middle of the room. "Get over here now!" Bakura commanded. Ryou got up and stood in front Bakura wondering what was going to happen to him. Bakura shoved Ryou down on his knees. "Read this aloud now." Bakura said shoving a piece of paper into Ryou's hands. Ryou felt his heart sink as he read the note aloud.
"I am worthless. I am a horrible person. I was a mistake. I have no friends. No one loves me, any one who did is now dead and it is my fault. Everything is my fault. I hate myself." Ryou opened his eyes wide so he wouldn't cry. Bakura saw this and moved against a wall. "Louder I want to be able to hear you from here." Bakura crossed his arms over his chest, "Go ahead." Ryou looked up to the ceiling desperately trying to keep the tears from coming down as he recited once again.
"I am worthless. I am a horrible person. I was a mistake. I have no friends. No one loves me, any one who did is now dead and it is my fault. Everything is my fault. I hate myself." Ryou put his head down and wished that Bakura would not make him read it again. Bakura took three big steps toward Ryou and bent down to get a handful of his light's hair. Bakura yanked Ryou head back and whispered in his ear, "I want you to yell it so loud that the whole world knows the truth about you." Ryou spoke barely above a normal outdoor voice.
"I am worthless. I am a horrible person. I was a mistake. I have no friends. No one loves me, any one who did is now dead and it is my fault. Everything is my fault. I hate myself." Ryou felt the tears slowly build up and fall onto his cheeks. Bakura put a fingertip against Ryou's cheek and caught his first teardrop. Ryou watched as Bakura raised the hand with teardrop up to Bakura's lips and then pressed his finger with the tear against them. Tears ran down Ryou's cheeks as he saw that gesture. His face glimmered as the light reflected off each and every tear that fell. 'My mom used to do that when I was little. Then she would take the next one and tell me to make a wish as I tried to blow the tear off her finger.' Ryou thought trying to put his face down so he wouldn't see Bakura. Bakura just pulled Ryou's head back farther. Ryou's back was arched so that he wouldn't fall over. It hurt and he let out a tiny whimper. At that Bakura let go of Ryou's hair and stood up straight as Ryou hunched over and let his hair hide his face. "If you ever disobey me again you'll be not only reading it but writing it too. You understand?" Bakura growled. Ryou nodded but didn't move. "Good." Bakura said as he patted Ryou on the head. Then he shut Ryou's door and locked it.
This is the last night that I spend at home
And it won't take too long for you to notice
Won't take long for you to find out that
I'm gone
After Ryou had sat still for about half an hour, he got his backpack. He stared at his two pictures knowing that Bakura was just trying to hurt him more; that what he had to say wasn't true. Ryou hugged the pictures to his chest. These kept him from breaking down and falling into true despair. Ryou put the pictures back in his backpack.
I can't stay
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
So don't expect to find my sleeping in my bed
Cuz when you wake up, I won't be there
Ryou took some tools he had hidden in his bookshelf and kneeled next to the door. He was glad he had talked to Seto about how to pick locks. They had practiced everywhere they could on every type of lock they could find. Ryou was actually pretty good at it. After that he and Seto became friends. Thinking about this made Ryou smile. Ryou timidly pushed the door, it was unlocked. "Thank you Seto." Ryou whispered as he put his backpack on.
I can't stay
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
So don't expect to find me sleeping in my bed
Cuz when you wake up, I won't be there
Yeah
Ryou paused and pulled out his millennium ring. He undid the string knot at the back of his neck, which held the millennium item on. Ryou caught the ring before it touched the floor. He laid it on his pillow all straight and neat. Then he walked toward his door.
I won't be there
Quickly and quietly Ryou scurried down the steps to the front door. He opened it to walk through and then locked it behind him. Ryou started walking to the nearest bus stop. Ryou realized he was alone as he leaned up against the bus stop pole.
I won't be there
The bus pulled up to the stop and opened its doors. The driver looked at the pale boy who waited there. He examined the boy walking up to the bus. The kid was sort of tall. He was wearing blue jeans, a white sweater, and tennis shoes. He also had a cap sporting the dueling monsters logo, which was pulled over his face. White hair streamed out the back of the cap. The bus driver nodded his head as the kid put the money in the slot, "Hi my name is Brennin, what's yours?"
Ryou looked at Brennin he looked about 24 years old. He bit his lip before he whispered "Quinn." That had been Ryou's father's name. He took a seat in the back he could still see his house. Ryou got out his pictures and stared at them as the bus pulled away. He looked up as the sun rose and spilled its rays onto his front lawn. Ryou looked at his house for the last time then went back to staring at his pictures. 'Goodbye everyone.' Ryou thought.
All of Ryou's friends whimpered and frowned in their sleep as Ryou crossed into the next town.
I won't be there
