Bakura stirred in his sleep. The moonlight that came from the half open window lit up his face in the dark room. A dark figure sat in the corner of the room, surrounded by shadows. "Khehehe. That's it Bakura. Sleep. You'll need your energy for your next task. Hehehehe."
The shadows overcame Bakura's body and darkened his very soul. He was alone. Alone in a world he didn't know. A world of shadow.He looked around the abysmal blackness he was trapped in. It was damp and lonely. It reminded him of the Ring, before Ryou had inherited it from his father. It was truly horrible.
Bakura continued to look around. Why was he here? Then he remembered, the bullet had imbedded itself inside of him...perhaps he was dead. He began to search frantically through the mounds of unusual clothing he was wearing. Finally he got to his skin. There was a minuscule scar in the place the bullet had entered.
Did this mean that he was alive? Or just dead with a scar? He didn't know, but what he did know was he was not returning to that Ra forsaken psych ward with Peggy. He wouldn't even dream of looking that man in the eye again. He didn't in the first place--he was forced to.
He missed Ryou. It was hard for Bakura to admit it, but it was true. He kept trying to run from the pain, but there was nothing he wouldn't give to see Ryou's face again. He brought his knees to his chin and hugged his legs. He forgot what it was like to be alone. It was horrible.
Bakura squirmed in his sleep. His dreams were fairly agonizing. He was dreaming about the only thing he was afraid of : being alone. Sure he would go out without Ryou and walk around by himself, but he could always go home and see Ryou. Waiting at the kitchen table.
He was never really alone. Ryou was always there, until now. Now he was alone, with no one to talk to but himself. A harsh laugh came from the corner of the dark room. "It is time to wake up now, Bakura. It is rude to keep people of such superiority waiting for such a long period of time." There was a golden light from the corner. The Millenium Rod (::giggle snort::) rose into the air, held by a tanned hand, and came down again.
Bakura's eyes flashed open. His eyes were as magnificent as ever, only empty. This wasn't Bakura at all. "Now Bakura. Go find Yugi Muoto." The words were spoken in the ancient Egyptian language. It was presice--perfect tone and pronounciation.
"Find Yugi Muoto." Bakura repeated lifelessly.
"And kill him" concluded the voice.
"Kill Yugi Muoto." Bakura repeated his task and swung his legs over the bed. He stood and proceeded through the door.
"Yes. That's it my mind puppet. Do all of my dirty work so I do not get the blame. You will be the one punished for the act Bakura. Khehehehehe!" the laughter filled the night. The dark figure stood and walked to the window. "Hehehe. My plan is perfect."
Bakura walked down the alley that lead to Yugi Muoto's dwelling. It was a short walk. Bakura had long legs, so he could travel at an exeptionally fast speed. His duty was to find and kill Yugi Muoto, so that is what he intended to do.
He had arrived just minutes after he was given his assignment. Bakura raised a fist and knocked on the door. "Just a minute!" came Yugi's cheery voice. There was a 'click' sound as the door was unlocked. A few short seconds later the door swung open and the unexpecting teenager stood in the opening.
Bakura stood in the doorway in his white attire that was so graciously given to him by the hospital in which he layed resting just a few moments ago.
"Oh. Hello Bakura. Don't see you around here much. Would you like to come in?"
"Yes." Bakura's voice was hoarse.
Yugi stepped aside and welcomed Bakura into his house. "What brings you here at 1:00 in the morning Bakura?"
Bakura reached under the back of his shirt and slowly pulled out a newly sharpened dagger. "I came here.....to kill you..." He said while doing the previous action...(hehehe)
Bakura lunged at Yugi with the dagger bared in front of him. Yugi's eyes went wide and he screamed. The dagger was at the small teenager's throat. "What is the meaning of this nonsense?!"
Bakura turned his head and seen Yami standing in the kitchen doorway. ( the kitchen is right next to the front door.) "If you think you are going to kill my hikari, you have another thing coming Tomb Robber."
"Please let me go Bakura...I don't want to die!" Tears streaked the hysterical teen's face. Bakura looked down at Yugi, and then at the dagger that was at his throat.
"What am I doing here?" He stood and dropped the dagger. "Why am I here?" Bakura was confused. He had broken the mind control somehow, but he couldn't figure how, or why.
Yami walked over to Bakura and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I know it wasn't you Bakura. I just witnessed what I am guessing happened to Ryou. Your eyes were blank. You weren't in the right state of mind."
Bakura looked up at Yami. "Did I really kill Ryou?"
"Yes and no. It was your body, but not you."
"But who is doing this?"
Yami's eyes widened slightly at Bakura's lack of realization. "You don't know?" There was a slight tone of surprise in Yami's voice.
"No."
"This happened before, remember? The Battle City Tournament. Marik Ishtar controlled people he called mind slaves. I am guessing he is doing the same to you, only not using you to defeat people, but to kill them."
Bakura took a moment to let this information sink into his head. It all made sense now. All he had to do was catch Marik, and kill him. He would feel better then. There was no use turning Marik in, for everyone believed Bakura was insane. He didn't have Ryou anymore so he might as well kill the mind controlling bastard off.
Ryou wasn't here anymore. What more was there to live for? Bakura used to wake up extra early, just to watch Ryou while he slept. He used to make up some lame excuse for doing so every time--like 'You were snoring', or 'You were talking in your sleep'. Ryou knew the truth though because Bakura would always be sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for Ryou to wake up.
Marik was the reason Bakura would never look into Ryou's chocolate brown eyes again. The reason Ryou wouldn't live out his life. The reason Bakura realized his love for Ryou, but Ryou would never know that because he was dead. He could never know how Bakura felt. Never. That's why Marik had to die. That's why Bakura was going to kill him.
Laughter came from the dark figure. "So, Bakura. You have managed to break my mind control. You were lucky. You will need more than luck if you wish to defeat me."
The figure turned and walked into the moonlight, revealing his hooded face. Marik's navy blue eyes sparkeled with delight. He proceeded through the door and down the hall back to his own dwelling.
He would deal with Bakura later......
