Hiyas ppl I updated early today, as an apology to the crap known as chappie 9 sorry about that -_- but this chappie will be kinda dark, and I almost cried, writing Bakura's trauma and disgusted with myself actually, so flames will be welcome for it, egh I would flame myself after reading this but if you cannot take it, then I more than understand……
I do not own Yugi-oh
Apologies
"Why the hell should I answer you damn question?"
"Mr.Bakura I have to know how intimate you are with Mrs Mazaki" the therapist spoke adding a long sigh. Looking at Anzu and what her doctor thought was her boyfriend. "Anzu…..how intimate have you been with him? I find it bit strange.." she began eyeing the Yami who came out after the therapist ask how many times Ryou and Anzu slept together.
"I did not fucking rape her you sick minded wench" he barked at her. "I never said that, did I? Rape victims usually do not want any contact near men whatsoever especially after an ordeal that Anzu has been through yet…"
"You find it strange she finds solace in the likes of me!?" he cut her off, looking at her angrily.
"Stop it, you sick bastard!!……"
"Yes I do to be truthful, how did you break through to her? It's obvious that miss.Mazaki had not the strength to speak so I'm asking the questions here" she stated her eye in a challenging gaze matching Bakura's stare of death.
"You dare speak back to me? You've forgotten your place little one…I'll have to show you, hold him down!!"
"Hey let go!! What the hell are you doing let me go damnit!!"
Bakura began to shake at this while she looked back at him "Did someone you know, was raped? Sister? Perhaps you're best friend? How else would you know what to do, to bring her back to us" she ask. Bakura remain silent at this a pensive state on his face.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! STOPI IT YOU SICK FUCKER!!"
"You have to be shown your place"
"….nnnn…stop…it hurts…..stop it…please……."
"Yes beg a little more, you piece of filth"
"Please….stop….."
"With more feeling like I've been doing small one"
Bakura let out an unstable laugh, his eye grew dark, looking at the therapist "How do I know? You ask? Foolish women…you dare ask me that question" he scoffed at her . "Bakura…." Anzu began and grabbed his hand "You don't have to tell her, because I already know…." she replied while Bakura looked at her. The therapist was quickly taking down notes for future use. "Interesting…" she thought.
"Well this session is over, come back tomorrow at the same time, Anzu," the therapist spoke while Bakura just snorted at this. As they left the room Bakura reverted back to Ryou "Sorry about that" Ryou said and Anzu shook her head. "No, I'm glad you came with me, I feel a bit stronger , I think that's a good sign." she explained.
"I just hope Bakura will be ok…."
"I know, after last night, I worry for him, I never knew he had to go through that…."
FLASH
"You have shared a part of your tale, perhaps now I should tell you the full version of it." Bakura spoke, looking at Anzu. He looked away, as his eyes darken "IOf all the things I may have forgotten, this will never leave me, not even to the day I die.."
/~*/~*
"Another successful pillage is it not?" one of the thieves spoke looking t a white haired boy. "Yeah…" he only replied looking at his spoils "This will be enough, to help mother" he thought to himself. His thoughts were soon interrupted by the sounds of screaming. The other's only snickered "looks like the head thief is about to play with his meat" he commented to the others.
The boy look, his eyes slightly widen "Oi, newbie, you best not get involves in his affairs" one warned and continue with his own affairs. The boy only nodded then he came in and his eyes snapped open seeing that he had a small girl around nine and so tied. He quickly stood up his eyes were in disbelief.
"She will warm my bed for tonight" he laughed at this groping the girl with his hands. "WAIT!!" Bakura shouted put. The head thief look at him "What little one?" he ask eyeing him. "Don't please" he spoke to him. This made the head thief laugh "YOU are telling ME what to do?" he ask a warning across his eyes.
With a kick movement he pulled the girl to him licking at the side of her face while she whimpered looking at Bakura for aide. Bakura clenched his fists "STOP IT, YOU SICK BASTARD!!!!" he shouted and without thinking tackled the head thief trying to wrestle his grip away from the girl. "LET HER GO!!" he screamed punching the him squarely in the face letting his grip loosen. The head thief cursed at this and kneed Bakura in his gut. His eyes widened in pain as the head thief threw him off. He hit the ground with a thud as he held his stomach in pain soon a shadow overcastted his figure.
"You dare speak back to me? Then attack me? You've forgotten your place little one…I'll have to show you, hold him down!!" he said. The other thieves began to surround him two grabbing each of his arms.
"Hey let go!! What the hell are you doing let me go damnit!!" he snarled to the thieves holding him. He heard the head thief laugh at this. He looked to him a perverse look covering his features "What made you think you would go unpunished, little one?" he ask to Bakura. "You sick bastard" Bakura only snapped back. The head thief smirked at this and begin to walk behind Bakura.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" he exclaimed. The head theif chuckled at this "Showing you youre place" he spoke. Bakura's blood froze and the little girl looked at him with fear "Don't look, please, don't look, nee-san" he whispered.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! STOPI IT YOU SICK FUCKER!!" he shouted out in pain. He heard him snicker at this.
"You have to be shown your place"
"….nnnn…stop…it hurts…..stop it…please……."
"Yes beg a little more, you piece of filth"
"Please….stop….."
"With more feeling like I've been doing small one" he demanded . Bakura's eyes never left the girl as she look at him, what was happening to him. Tear came out and fell to the ground it hurted so much. The Head thief noticed Bakura staring at the girl "I see now…" he spoke. "No…..no" Bakura thought.
"Kill her"
Two thieves came from behind of the still dazed girl grabbing her. She was screaming and kicking calling out for his name. All of the sudden her throat slit and the blood wash down over her body while the thieves let her body drop to the ground.
"NEEEEEEEEEEEEE-SSSSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed out. "You should be worried about yourself" he heard the head thief said and let out a cry when he felt him go harder. After hours, the head thief stopped, pushing the boy onto the ground, shaking.
"There, now you know your place, little one" he said and began to walk away from the broken heap of a boy huddling at the ground. Bakura embraced himself shivering he looked besides him to meet the blank eyes of the girl he tried to save, his little sister.
"Ra…..why….ra…." he spoke to himself he suddenly felt dirt, filth, disgust and humiliation but most of all he couldn't protect his family.
{ Filth, thats what you are, dirt….}
"Shut-up"
{Why deny it? Look at you, you're so pathetic, disgusting you whore, you couldn't even protect your sister and look at her, this is your fault, all of it"
"I-I…tried….I…."
{you can never protect anything, look at you now, just a whimpering weak boy}
"I am not weak" he snarled to the voice speaking to him and heard a chuckle as an reply. The laughter continue "Shut-up" he exclaimed his eyes beginning to glaze repeating the experience over and over again.
"I hate him, I hate them all….." he spoke to himself and picked himself up. His eye's spotting the soiled knife used in his sisters murder he picked it up looking at it. The tip pierced beneath his eye at he slid it down into his flesh leaving a mark. The blood flow down his face, some hitting the ground he welcomed the pain as a comforter.
"Vengeance"
He left the little girls body, now entering the head thief's room. He was asleep unknown of the intruder in his quarters. The thief suddenly woke up and looked around only to have his mouth cover and the cold metal pressing into his neck deeply, before cutting his neck open. He slumped to the ground, Bakura cleaned the knife.
"Avenged" he spoke making a small line across the long one he made near his eye. The knife slightly lowered and he made another small gash across the bleeding wound.
"Death" he spoke.
He heard screaming and look out of the window to see his village burning he felt something snap within him "First…they take away, my sister, innocence and now this…." he spoke his tone cold. He begin to laugh to himself licking the knife "This mark….is the mark anew, that the boy I was is now dead, I am now just the king of thieves, and who dared crosses me shall perish, they will all perish" he spoke to himself in a daze, losing sense of reality with him.
"All of them"
FLASH
Both Ryou and Anzu remained silent at this. "Bakura…" she thought sadly and sharp pain hit her head and she fell to the ground.
"ANZU!!" Ryou cried out. Anzu's eyes widened at the oncoming flash back "N-No" she whispered shaking. Some rogue tears slip as she remembered it, but she couldn't see his face, it was blurred. The flashback ended with Anzu gasping out. Ryou held the girl in her his arms "Are you all right?" he ask again and she nodded.
"Yeah, it was just another flashback…" she said tiredly. "Did you see his face this time?" Ryou ask eagerly. Anzu shook her head "No, it was blurred…why can't I remember his face, why?" she said.
"Maybe you're trying to repress the memory" Ryou suggested.
"That could be it." she replied while Ryou helped her up.
'Uh, is she ok?"
"yeah she's fine……you…."
Anzu looked up and her eyes widened "Malik…" she said her breathe slightly taken aback. He nodded his head "Anzu, I'm glad you're doing well" he answered back. Before he could say anything else Bakura appeared and lunged at the boy.
"You, I'LL KILL YOU!!" He shouted as both fell to the ground. The two boys were now wrestling with each other "Bakura, stop it" Anzu pleaded grabbing his arms allowing Malik the time needed to get away form him. Both looked at each other Bakura with a look of anger but was still being held back by Anzu, and Malik looking back, at a pensive state.
"Let me explain"
"Is that so?" Bakura ask, acid lacing his words. Malik slowly nodded. "But that is beyond the reason why I am here" he begin. "Stay behind me" Bakura whispered to Anzu putting an protective arm in front of her. Malik began to walk to them "Stay where you are" Bakura snarled, the Millennium Ring now glowing threateningly. Malik then kneeled on to the ground bowing his head to them, much to Bakura's and Anzu's surprise.
"I have come, to right the wrong I have done unto those I have made suffer" he spoke. Bakura snorted at this "Why should I believe that mortal" he snapped.
"How do I know this isn't some ploy, to obtain my Ring" he spoke looking at him amused.
"I should just send you to the shadow realm from where you grovel" he threatened. "Bakura stop it" Anzu said and he looked at her "Why are you fending for him?" he spoke bewildered.
"Because he save me from killing myself" she answered to him. Bakura grabbed a hold of her arm "You knew he was here!?!!" he exclaimed a bit angered. Anzu met his eyes with own slightly angered ones "What if I did?" she snapped back. Bakura turned to the still kneeling boy.
"The things I done where unforgivable, and in the end made you suffer, because of me you and your hikari disappeared. But I've seen the error of my ways, and I deeply regret them all, Bakura…Ryou, I am sorry for what I did"
Bakura looked at him in disgust "Do you expect me to forgive you, eh?" he spat. "I do not, because I do not deserve your, Ryou's or Anzu's forgiveness I just want to repent for what I have done" he explain looking up at them. Bakura snorted at this "Do not wait anytime soon mortal" he shot at him. "Anzu, I do not deserve your forgiveness either, but I want to apologize for what I put you through, I am sorry, I have made you suffer so" he said bowing to her. Bakura said nothing but look at the boy along with Anzu. Anzu began to walk to him, Bakura giving her a warning stare, but she just shook her head, ignoring it and walk to the boy.
"Malik…..I…..forgive you….."
Malik look up facing the girl who was kneeling in front of him. "What?" he ask in disbelief. "I forgive you, Malik" she repeated. "W-why?" he ask still in disbelief. She smiled at this "You already showed me you have changed, and…..everyone deserves a second chance, right? Bakura?" she answered and heard the Yami snort behind her.
"You saved my life, twice, it was you who saved me from drowning, right?" she ask and he nodded. "Anzu….I don't….don't deserve this…" he said. "I think you do" she whispered to him. "Thank you…" he said. He began to stand up along with her he wiped his eyes "Got something in my eyes" he lied, trying to hide the tears. "It's all right" she said to him.
"Malik…"
Malik turned around to face Ryou, Bakura's hikari and gulped "Ryou" he began, feeling very guilty now. "I heard what you said Malik" Ryou replied. Malik remained silent at this "You do not have to forgive me, just allow me to make it up to you" he offered.
"To be truthful, I don't know if I can find it to forgive you like Anzu demonstrated so easily, but, I believe that you've change, I just need a bit more time" he spoke and heard his yami growled at this "Unlike some people" he said to himself.
"I understand" Malik replied and begin to walk away "Malik, where are you going?" Anzu ask. Malik turned to her "To find the rest of your friends, I must apologize to them as well" he answered. "Wait" she called out, Malik looked at her a bit confused.
"Come with us, we're all meeting at the game shop" she said. Malik look astray "Wouldn't it be in bad company?" he said referring to Bakura. "Is it ok, Ryou?" she ask and he slowly nodded his head.
"I guess" he answered uneasily.
As the three walk all was silent between them "Malik , did you come by yourself?" Anzu asked. Malik shook his head "No, Nee-san came also, but she's still sleeping at the hotel" he explained. "What have you been doing, the last couple of months?" Ryou couldn't help but ask. Malik gave a look of uneasiness "I've, been….coping" he could only say. Ryou remain silent at this "I've been coping as well" Anzu suddenly say and took a hold of Ryou's arm.
"But, I've been getting help" she said looking to Ryou, he smiled back wrapping his hand around with hers. Malik couldn't help but feel a little disappointed "She has Ryou, she's lucky" he thought to himself. He found himself looking in front of the game shop and stopped.
"You don't have to come in" Anzu spoke. "It's all right, it's just, I don't know about facing them all at once, if my sister was here then I would have…"
"A bit of confidence?" a female voice finished for him. "Isis" Anzu spoke and the woman smiled to her "Anzu, Ryou, how have you two been?" she ask to them.
"Nee-san, how?" Malik began and Isis playfully smiled at him. "Malik, I'm you're sister, do you think I would let you face this alone?" she ask. Malik shook his head and out a weary smile "No…of course not, thank you, nee-san" he said.
He took a deep breathe and entered the game shop

"What was your dream, when you were a child?"
"To dance, I always wanted to be a dancer"
"That's a beautiful dream you have you know, what kind of dance?"
"Ballet"
"Why that?"
"It's a way to test my true strength, Ballet requires discipline, stability, strength, I want to see if I have that, but also to feel free"
"Is that the only dream you have?"
"Of course not, I have others but, lately, I'm beginning to lose them….one by one…."
"How come?" Kaiba ask sitting on a tree branch. Anzu looked up to him "Why are you here?" she ask more than a bit confused. "Whoever said I was the Kaiba you know in reality?" he spoke back with a teasing glint in his eyes.
"So you're not him?" Anzu ask. "No and yes, you can say I'm a sprit guide or another voice in your head" he replied. "I see…" Anzu said. "When father adopted us, I lost my soul." he suddenly said. Anzu looked up a bit surprise by the information.
"What?"
"When he took me and Mokuba, he sold my soul, so I would thrive to become like him, so I lost my innocence. In a way, a part of me died and a new me was born, and…well you can see how I am in reality?" he spoke looking at the lake..
"You've lost a part of yourself, haven't you?"
"Yes, yes I have, when that man ravaged me…." she begin, hugging herself. Kaiba looked at her than to the lake. "All people, lose their innocence in different ways, human are never meant to remain innocent we are born into a world full of death, despair, corruption, and even hope, but we are flawed, that is why we live, to fix the mistakes that cannot be erased"
"But there is hope, because as humans we cannot stop in one place, we have to move forward" Kaiba explained. Anzu looked up to him. "So I have to move?" she ask.
"Look at the lake Anzu. You see water right?"
"Yes…."
"I do not. I see a balance to everything, a contradiction, water gives us life. Yet, the very same thing that helps us live can kill us, isn't that interesting?" he mused. He threw a rock into the lake creating ripples distorting their images. "But it also shows the nature of humans, we have ripples, we are complex yet simple, and like the ripple as they move and disappears, so do our hardships eventually do, but it takes true humanity, to be able to move forward from something traumatizing, it's how you move forward determines the person you become. If I had been more strong against Gozaburo, perhaps I wouldn't have turned out the way I am in reality yet, I still move forward for my sake and Mokubas."
"I have to find my way to move forward?"
"Yes, how you do it, determines if you truly have the strength, but remember, you're not alone" Kaiba's words echoed around. Anzu looked to the lake around her and closed her eyes.
Anzu opened her eyes and look around her dark bedroom before laying back down "Why was Kaiba in my dream?" She thought confused. His words echoing in her. "I wish I knew…" she stop when she heard something being thrown against the window. "What the?" she thought and walked towards it. Seeing Malik waving to her. Her eyes widened as she opened the window.
"Malik why are you here so late? How did you know where I live??" she whispered to him. "Can I talk to you?" he ask, ignoring the other question completely. She nodded "Just climb up the tree" she said. Malik nodded and jumped into the tree now balancing him between the top branches. "You can sit on the window still you know" she offered. Malik sat on it.
"What was it you wanted to talk about?" she ask. "I want to know…why did you forgive me so quickly?" he ask. Anzu was a bit confused by this "What?" she said. "I want to know after everything I've done, you forgive me so easily, why?" he ask.
"Because, I know that you really regret it, besides, I'm not one to keep grudges" she answered softly while hearing Malik give a long sigh. "Too bad your friends cannot" he answered and she shook her head. "Give them time and they'll come around" she assured. "That not the only thing I want to talk to you about" he said and Anzu remained silent, she knew what he wanted to ask.
"Why? Why did you do those things to yourself?"
"I have my reasons, Malik" she said. Both remain silent.
"I've been on medication" Malik began, Anzu looked up at him. He was looking out, a distant look on his eyes "After the battle between Yami and my own, my sister thought I was well enough, but it turned out, I have a mental disorder" he worded, he didn't want to frighten her, saying that his disorder was Marik.
"For four months, I've been fighting against my demons…" he trailed off taking out his bottle. "They give me these to keep me in control" he explained. "Malik….I'm so sorry to hear that…" Anzu spoke. "That's besides the point, I want to make it up to you, after everything I've done, let me help you Anzu, please" he replied.
Anzu turned away from this and took a deep breath remembering Kaiba's words
"How you move forward determines the person you become"
"I…was raped…and tortured…..four months ago…"
Malik's eyes widened.
"Oh god……Anzu….."
