Forever in Darkness, Forever in Night
Chapter 2: O- Over
Yugi came by the next day. He rang the doorbell of Ryou's house waiting for the pound of footsteps and Ryou to stick his head out the door. When nothing came he looked at Yami. "Umm, do you think he's okay?"
"It doesn't feel right in there." Yami said shaking his head.
"Bakura." They said together. Yami nodded and opened the door. They steeped into to the dark house.
"RYOU!!!!" Yugi yelled, Yami clamped a hand over his mouth.
"Yugi!" Came a frightened cry. "Yugi please help me!" It was Ryou.
Yami swallowed. "Where is the Sprit of the Ring?" He yelled up the stairs from where Ryou's voice came.
"Please help me, I can't see! I can't see!" Ryou screamed form up stairs.
Yugi looked frightened up at Yami. "Go." Yami muttered. "I feel Bakura down stairs."
Yugi nodded, running up stairs and a sprint and call out for Ryou. He found the boy curled in a corner, face and chest cut deep, blood every where, white hair stained red and cut ruffle.
"Ryou?" Yugi asked, touching the shaking boys arm. "It's okay, I'm here." He whispered, pulling him into a hug.
"Y-Y-Yugi?" Ryou whispered Where are you? I-I can't see you!" Help me please! Please help!" Ryou whimpered, groping for Yugi's face.
"I'm right here Ryou, shh, it's okay, every things okay." Yugi whispered, rocking Ryou back and forth. "Tell me what happened."
"He-he hit me. He had a knife. Blood every where. Then every thing went black, so black. Cold steal, he cut me-lots. So much blood. Then there was red, then black. Found this corner, screamed, lost my voice. I can't see, nothing, purple, gold-you. Blackness-every thing else." Ryou sobbed, speech broken up.
There was a crash and a yell that sounded distinctively like Yami's. Ryou's sobs redoubled and he shook more. /Yami!/ Yugi yelled through their mind link.
//I'm fine, it's Bakura.//
/What happened?/
//I got...erm...angry//
/Yami, Bakura blinded Ryou./
//HE WHAT!//
"Yugi!" Ryou cried in pain as he slid from Yugi's grasp and hit the wall.
"It's okay Ryou it's okay." Yugi said soothingly.
"Tell Bakura I'm so sorry." Ryou whispered. Yugi looked down at him, noticing his eyes were caked with hair and dried blood.
He whipped the blood of tears falling down his cheeks.
"You did nothing to be sorry about." He whispered.
"No, If I was stronger..."
"You're strong." Yugi whispered
"Tel him Yugi!" Ryou yelled, then went limp it Yugi's arms.
"Ryou? Ryou! Come on, stay with me !" Yugi cried shaking Ryou back and forth.
The door creaked open, Yami walked in, steeping aside to let in Bakura. Bakura's hair fell in front of his eyes, his head was bow like a man going to his death.
Yami reached forward and jerked Bakura's head up, forcing him to see Ryou. Bakura let out a long low whimper, turning his head. "Please......" HE started.
"LOOK!" Yami yelled, yanking Bakura's head back. "You did it, you can see it."
Tears streamed from Bakura's eyes as he looked down at Ryou. "I-I-I didn't mean to." The word excised his lips before he could stop them.
Yami yelled at him, throwing his to his knees. "YOU didn't mean to!" He yelled in rage, looking down at Bakura with a strange fire in his eyes. "BAKURE! HE'S BLIND!"
Bakura cringed a little, sobs gaining strength. "Please, please, I'm so sorry. Ra I'm sorry."
Yami looked down at him and scowled. "Yugi come to me." HE muttered, looking up at his crying light.
Yugi let out a little cry and ran to bury his face in Yami's shirt ((A/N- Repmet-ONCE AGAIN! NO BROTHERLY LOVE!))
Bakura looked over at Ryou, and lifted him into his arms, crawling the unconscious boy against him, sobbing into his bloody hair.
"You well pay Bakura." Yami said, looking down at him as Ryou started to come too. Ryou trembled in Bakura's arms, writhing and struggling to get away. Bakura let out a moan and fell back wards, relining Ryou and sobbing, head in his knees.
Yami let go of Yugi. "Help him get cleaned up Abiou, I'll help after I have a talk with the Tomb Robber." He said, patting Yugi's many spikes.
Yugi nodded deftly and helped Ryou to his feet, leading him to the bathroom.
After they had gone, Yami turned to face Bakura again. "What do you have to say, Tomb Robber?"
"Is there any thing I can say?" Bakura whispered, red eyes meeting Yami's.
"Nothing that well redeem you in my eyes." Yami said snarling.
Bakura ,let out a choking laughed, humorless and sad. "Have I ever been ably to do any thing right for you?" He asked.
Yami's eyes softened, but barely. "Bakura, don't blame me for your problems."
"I'm not Pharo, I'm not." He laughed again, the same dry laugh. "But I blame you for every thing else."
Yami sighed. "I was a child when your village was murdered, I could not have stopped it."
"But I was your slave long after that, you could have helped that." Bakura said, glaring at Yami.
"No, I was Pharo. I could not have helped it. I was not even allowed to pick my cloths. Understand this Bakura, I did what I could, not less."
"So is what you could was sending me to the gallons?"
"You had told me you'd rather die than be my slave another day." Yami looked sad. "I tried to relive you of your burden."
Bakura laughed, standing up. "And you placed another burned on my shoulders when I expand. One that told me all other were infer to me and that it was me who should show them their place. You left me with a thirst to treat others as I was treated, and worse."
"I told you, do not blame your problems on me.' Yami snapped.
"I wouldn't dare oh might master."
Yami flinched. "Please, Bakura."
"I know you did not want to talk to me about old hurts, so tell me what you wanted and be gone." Bakura snorted.
"Is it over?" Yami asked.
Bakura's lip trembled, as if he would start to cry again. "Yes." He whispered.
"For good?" Yami asked, glaring daggers into Bakura's read.
"Have I lie to you, ever?" Bakura asked.
Yami looked at him, glare not wavering, nor was the tone of his voice. "Through all your treachery, all your sins, you have never lied. But you are still scum." HE spat at Bakura, the spit sliding down the side of the white haired teens face.
Bakura didn't bother to whip the spit off. "I am." He answered.
"Then it is over." Yami nodded, and left to help Yugi and Ryou.
