Consequences of Addiction

Chapter 1

In the Mirror

"Bakura! Can you…"

"Bakura-kun will you…"

"Ryou…"

Thousands of voices blurring all together all asking for something. Ryou covered his ears and closed his eyes tightly trying to block everything out. He was so tired of them…the voices and the questions…the same questions everyday.

"Yes…"

"Of course…"

A sigh and, "Yes…"

Thousands of answers all swirling, all becoming the same. He and everyone else all knew the answer before the question was ever asked. There was a snap and several smaller cracklings, Ryou opened his eyes and looked around. The walls, ceiling and floor were all cracking and each crack was getting bigger. Panic filled his senses and then the floor broke apart. Only three words left his mouth as he fell through the darkness.

"Make it STOP!"

Ryou sat up gasping for breath; he groaned and reached over to turn his alarm off. 5 a.m., time to get ready, 2 hours of sleep… the same amount each night for the past week, dark circles were starting to form under his eyes and his body was starting to show the effects of the meals he had skipped. Stepping out of the shower he opened the mirror cabinet and pulled out an unlabeled bottle. He took off the cap and shook out 2 white pills, downing them before his brain could ever realize what he was doing.

TBC…

Well? Any good? I wrote this down really quick in my business class while the teacher was giving a lecture of some sorts. I've had the idea for awhile but I wasn't sure what to make of it. Please tell me if I should continue. Also I don't know what color Speed is, I'm not into drugs…ask any of my friends I don't need them. If you do know please tell me. Arigato & Ja Ne! – Alkvingiel

P/S: To all those who think my pen name is to long to type, a nickname given to me by a cool LOTR writer is Naur, this is elvish for Fire.
