Chapter 6 Hate
As I got towards the door to my house, I just couldn't comprehend what Bakura would do to me. It was then I wondered, why did he hate me so much. I mean, was weakness so bad that you got beaten for it? Did everyone in the world get beat if they were weak? I don't think that I'm so pathetic? Sure sometimes maybe but, everyone is weak at one time or another. That's how the world works. No one is so strong that they're unbreakable, not even Bakura. I would never say this stuff to him though; he's not going to listen to a pathetic person like me.
The steps loomed in closer, I felt like I might pass out. My head was airy and lighter than I remembered. I guess this is what overwhelming fear is and loss of blood can do mixed up.
I was now face to face with the door; I could feel the cool wood against my skin and the urge to flee in my bones. I know I could never hide, I probably couldn't even run away from him considering he's a part of me and no matter what he'd always be there to push me down.
"I guess I should go in now", I muttered. If I'm going to die I'm going to do it with dignity.
The door gave a small creak as it opened up. The traitor. I was going to try and get in without being noticed, But Bakura had the ears of cat. He would here the door creak and know I was home.
I shut the door and hung up my jacket on the bent coat rack. Still No Bakura. I thought for sure he's want to kick my ass. I mean I was late, I had taken off the ring, and I hadn't cooked dinner. I had also talked to what he called 'the pharaohs slaves' meaning my friends.
Walking through the hallway I wondered if maybe he was in trouble. Even if he was why should I help him. All he ever did was call me weak and beat me up. It was in my nature to help people. I sighed and gathered up all my courage to say one word.
"Bakura", I yelled. My voice echoed through the halls, but to no reply. I decided he was out drinking and walked to my room. Still, that eerie feeling hung around me. Like when you feel like someone is there and you turn around and it's empty.
I walked into my room and lay on the bed. If he won't be home for a little bit I might as well relax. I should call Yugi tomorrow to see how he's doing. It was to late tonight.
Call anytime you need anything
I remembered he had said that. It seemed rude to call this late but I really needed someone to talk to. I walked back downstairs to the phone carelessly thrown on the couch and dialed Yugi's number.
It rang two time's before Yugi answered. He sounded groggy like I had just woken up and I started feeling bad for calling him. He had to deal with Yami; he was like a master at reading emotions no matter how hard he tried to hide them.
"I'm sorry I woke you Yugi perhaps I shouldn't have called", I said in a sorry voice.
"Huh? Ryou! Oh, That's okay I was just resting my eyes " I knew he was trying to cover up that he was sleeping just so I didn't feel guilty.
"Perhaps I should call tomorrow", I replied.
"Oh No I'm already up you can talk to me"
"Well it's not that important"
"Ryou. You can tell me anything"
"I want t-"I stopped myself. I felt bad putting my problems on Yugi.
"Yes Ryou go ahead".
"I want to know", I breathed in" Why Bakura hates me."
He was silent on the other end. What was he doing?
"Ryou. I don't think Bakura hates you".
"But Yugi there has to be a reason he's beating me up! Is it because I'm weak! That I'm helpless."
"Ryou! Listen to me! You aren't weak nor are you helpless. You're one of the strongest people I know. You survived Bakura's abuse, lived through two deaths, and are strong even though you're dad's gone", I heard muffled cries" You aren't weak".
"Yugi...I'm...I'm sorry."
"No. Don't be sorry. I'm glad that you've shared so much with me and trust me not to tell anyone."
"Yugi".
"Yeah"
"Thank you".
I could feel him smiling on the other end. He had that effect on people.
"No problem, call anytime...brother".
"Goodbye".
I hung up the phone quietly. Why didn't he think Bakura hates me?
I went back upstairs. Changed into my blue nightclothes and wrapped myself in my blanket. Hoping it would shield me from the wrath of Bakura in the morning. My eyes closed and fell into a semi dream state. I wasn't completely asleep.
Later that night I felt a pair of eyes watching me. OH god this is it. He's going to kill me with my eyes closed, No I would watch him kill me. My eyes opened and surprisingly, instead of glaring eyes full of hated. I saw eyes of sadness.
At first I thought to myself if this was even Bakura, I mean he was strong.
"Ryou I don't hate you", he said to me sitting on the edge of my bed looking down at me.
Now I was surprised. One he had talked to me. Two he had talked to me in a sincere tone like Yami gave Yugi. Three, he didn't try to kill me in my sleep.
"I don't hate you", he repeated.
"Then why do you beat me up" Whether this was an act or not I was going to figure out why he was doing this to me.
"You reminded me of me when I was little. Innocent and Pure, I don't know why. My Father beat me up, and now I remind myself of my father. Ryou. I don't hate you".
Now I was shocked. His Father had beaten him up. Did he want me to end up like his Father?
Still confused I asked" Why are you telling me this now?"
"Ryou I saw the memory of you're mother and you're sister. I didn't know you were that sad. I hated that you reminded me of well; myself I did what my Father did to me to toughen you up. Ryou, I. I'm. I'm sorry".
"Bak...Bakura". Tears formed in my eyes
"I told you because I wanted you to be able to trust me...Hikari".
"Bakura". I jumped into him and started crying. He was surprised by this gesture, but he hugged me back.
"I don't hate you either, Bakura"
