Ryou is slowly going into depression; the one he loves appears to want nothing but to kill him. Can Bakura come face to face with his fears of love in time to save Ryou or will someone else hurt his hikari even more? Slight OOC-ness, angst, romance, Bakura/Ryou, Ryou/Bakura, ?/Ryou YAOI! (don't like don't read)

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of the characters in this story. It would be awesome to own Bakura and Ryou though (Evil Smirk) but I don't, eventually I will make plushies of them though! Anyway enjoy the story.

Scene change "speech" "Thoughts"

The Basement

If I died today I couldn't really say

That no one would miss my soul

But eventually they'd get on with their lives

And I'd be forgotten

Boyfriends would find new people to love

And I'd become less than a memory to them

My house would be left vacant, empty

Except for my corpse

Buried on the basement

The skeletons of my life, all my secrets

So welcome to my basement

To my confessions

Welcome to my love, lust and lies

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my basement

Ryou put down the pen admiring the new admission to his poetry book. The book he would keep to himself, sort of like a journal, it was his thoughts, his feelings, his life. His entry was missing something though... then he realized what it was and picked up a blood encrusted knife. He made yet another shallow cut on his arm and let the blood drip onto the page. He sealed all of his writing this way, proving that they literally were his life. His father was always on digs, his "friends" didn't really understand him, but he knew they never would and to top it all off he loved his Yami, who absolutely loathed him. Speaking of his Yami, he would be home soon and Ryou would rather die then have him read the book that was his soul. He put the book away, then picked up the knife and limped down the stairs. Ryou's body hadn't completely healed from his Yami's last "lesson" and it was screaming at him to stop. He knew that he couldn't stop moving though, for if Bakura found that he had moved HIS knife he would thrash him until no one could distinguish who he was. Ryou managed to make it to the kitchen and carefully place the knife on the table.

"What are you doing?" an unmistakable anger filled voice reached his ears. He had moved too slowly, he had been caught.

"N-nothing m-master" Ryou stuttered turning around.

"Don't you DARE lie to ME!" Bakura slapped Ryou across the face. Ryou fell to the floor having been barely able to stand before the slap even hit.

"I'll teach you not to lie to me!" Bakura continued to hit and kick Ryou, bruises forming on impact. Bakura left Ryou's line of vision and came back holding the knife, "Now let's have some fun." Bakura said grinning maliciously.

Yume: well I feel lazy and so I'm going to end it here

Steve: You're just being cruel to your friends by only posting less than the first page of what's in your notebook.

Yume: . SOOO!

Steve: I never thought you could be THIS sort of evil...

Yume: Mwahahahahaha! Then YOU obviously DON'T know ME! Anyway please R&R (no not rest and relaxation, READ AND REVIEW!)
