Repmet- All I can say is, last chapter was the last chapter where Bakura is genially evil, but yeperoo, there you go! This one's kinda short. *Grumbles to self*

Ryou- I'm BLIND!!!!!

Repmet- He's still getting over the shock.

Fluff- Blame Bakura.

Bakura- Umm, how about not?

Repmet- Too late! *points finger at Bakura* EVIIILLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

Fluff- We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, never well. We also thank WSJ for the whole 'blind and still see peoples heart thing' and Tamora Perice for the whole 'magical cor thing' which well come up in leter chapters.

Repmet- All flames well be used to............MEALT MY STUPID FLUTE!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Fluff- She's mad at her flute, didn't get into an all county band even though she's first seat.

Joey and Seto and Yugi- WHAT!!!!!

Fluff- *sighing* Yep.

Yami-Who ever said no flutes from her school would be going should............Play a game with me. Moo Ah ha ha.

Joey- Errr, dude, aren't you suppose to be mean to Repmet?

Yami- *shrugging* Fluff paid us.

Repmet- Waaaaaaaa no one loves me, well no one but Fluff, and Joey ,and all my friends and readers and family, but.................waaaaaaa!!!!!!

Fluff- If she has another break down, it'll be because the guy she like's considers her his 'sister' instead of dateable, and erm, they've only know each other for about a year.

Repmet- Thank you sooooooooo much for reminding me!! WAAAAAAAA

Forever in Darkness, Forever in Night

Chapter 3: R- Regret

Bakura stayed, curled up in corners tell he was sure Yami and Yugi had left the house. Slowly he uncurled himself and walked down stairs, creeping like a cat. His breath came in uneven shaking gasps, though he fought to control it. He walked through the kitchen and into the living room, starring at the couch with teary eyes. Ryou lay, covered with blankets from the waist down. His chest was bound in bandages, stained light pink. Strips of clean white cotton cover his eyes and a mass of bandages covered the left side of his face. He was lying with his arms at his side, seeming to sleep.

"Hello Bakura." He said, turning his face towards the doorway.

Bakura was taken by a slight alarm and shifted from foot to foot, moving slightly more into the room. "Hikkira." He whispered, heart filled with a sudden love for his lighter half ((A/N Repmet- BROTHERLY LOVE!)). He crossed to the couch and looked at the boys ruffle cut hair, matted with blood here and there, spots that the Mouto's had missed. He lifted the boy a little, feeling him shake with sudden fear. Bakura closed his eyes, wishing Ryou would trust him. But then again, how can you ever trust some one who damn near kills you?

He sat down, setting Ryou's head on his lap and stroking his disheveled hair, carefully ridding it of all dried blood. "I'm sorry Abio. So sorry."

"Bakura, well things ever be okay?" Ryou whispered. "Or well it go on like this for ever until I die, please tell me!"

"No more Ryou, I promise you. I won't ever hurt you again." He said, putting a hand on Ryou's pale right cheek. He felt tears drip from his covered eyes.

"Do you swear to me?" He whispered, pulling Bakura's hand from his face and gripping it with his own.

"I swear on every thing, Ryou, no more." Bakura answered, taken aback by his Hikkira's strong grip.

"Bakura. I sorry." He whispered again, tears now pouring for his eyes and soaking his bandages. "I'm so very sorry, this is all my fault, if only I had been stronger, a better Hikari."

"NO!" Bakura shouted, causing Ryou to flinch. "Never be sorry, Ryou, I don't disserve it from you." Though he didn't deny what Ryou had said. "I'm not worth it." Though he didn't argue with Ryou about him needing to be stronger.

"Yami........" Ryou whispered.

"I'm here." Bakura whispered back.

"Last night, I screamed and screamed, but you kept on hurting me. I begged you to stop, I cried so hard a lost all my will to fight, but you just hurt me more. Why my Yami, Why?" He whispered tears drenching his cheeks.

Bakura choked back a sob as he looked down at Ryou's sightless face. He didn't answer; he was reliving the night before, only this time with remorse.

~ Flash back ~

"Bakura!" Ryou yelled, as Bakura drew the blade across his shaking chest. "My Yami! Please Yami! Stop!" He cried, tears mixing now with the spit and blood on his face, turning it a dull pink color. Bakura's black heart filled with pleasure at the sight of the screaming boy under his blade. He hesitated only a moment before doling out more pain.

~ End Flash Back ~

"Ryou." Bakura whispered, he looked down at the smaller boy, his heart filling with pain.

Ryou sensed something in his Yami, for he whispered, "Yami?" In a shaking voice, his whole body tense and. "Yami, please, don't kill me."

Bakura slipped from the couch, falling to his knees and sobbing into his hands. "Never!"
