"Who are...wait, Bakura? What are you doing here?? If your asking me to come back home you can just forget about it." Ryou only looked away trying to hide his tears.
The dark shadow remained silent and stood still. It looked more taller, bigger, and he didn't have spiky long hair. Ryou studied the figure for awhile. His eye's widened. "Wait your not Bakura..who are-" all of a sudden the form put his hands over his mouth, causing him to let out a muffled scream.
"Give me your money." the stranger ordered coldly.
"I-I don't have any.." Ryou stuttered.
"Well, that's just too bad because now I'm going to have to kill you." the person smirked evilly while mocking the boy. Ryou eye's widened in pure fear as he tried running away, but it was no use. The thug was too strong for him. Soon more forms appeared out of nowhere circling around the boy. Ryou whimpered more uncontrollably, frantically trying to escape from the grasp.
"Get him!" one of them yelled. Ryou got punched in the stomach real hard making him spit out. Another one picked him up and threw him across making Ryou crash into a large pile of trash cans. All the thugs jumped onto the injured boy and started beating him up badly. Ryou was bleeding everywhere and he was too weak against all of them. It wasn't long until when one of them took out a long knife from his pocket and brought it up to the boy's throat, the other one held onto Ryou tightly and exposed the boy's long throat.
"Any last words you little brat?" the thug laughed while bringing the knife closer to the boy's white flesh. Ryou was too terrified to even get anything out of his own mouth at the very moment from the shocking situation.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye for you now kid." then the thug was about to slit the boy's throat until he saw another dark figure right infront of him. The man glared dangerously. The mysterious dark shadow snatched the knife away from the jerk's hand, causing the man to attack him. The mysterious person dodged it easily and punched the man in the face.
Ryou was still down hurt badly, cringing in pain. He slowly opened his eyes trying to focus them, and he saw that the main that tried to kill him was down on the ground laying and groaning in pain. His eyes widened.
"Who-" ryou asked himself while looking up at the mysterious person, who was still standing menacingly. It was pretty dark, so it was more difficult for him to recognize the figure. Although, it's features were slightly familiar to him that the teen could slightly some parts of the person's appearence. It appeared that he had long and messy hair, almost similiar to his own, but of coarse more wild. Wait, the only person that he knew that had that hair style would be no one other than Bakura. Ryou's eyes instantly went wide in pure shock. "Why in the world would Bakura come here to save me?" he thought suspiciously to himself. "How did he even know where I went this entire time? Was he... following me?" Ryou began panicking.
Bakura sneered malicously, literally crushing the laying man's hand with his foot as the boy pushed harder and harder. The man screamed loudly in terrible pain. "Tsk,tsk... hurting a poor innocent child?" Bakura smirked at him. "No one is allowed to touch him... except by me, or else they'll die instantly." he whispered dangerously and more seriously. The man's eyes widened in terror.
Turning his head, Bakura spotted the dagger laying beside him. He gently picked the sharp object off from the ground. He turned his attention back to the man beneath him, a evil grin shown spreading slowly across his lips. Bakura laughed and licked the metal blade with his tongue. The man's eyes widened in frantic horror, knowing well what was then coming for him.
#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#
Bakura licked and lapped the blood raveously from the man's flowing mouth. Others stared with shock expressions on their pale faces. The darker boy turned his neck around to face them with blank brown eyes, a thin line of the red substance trailing down from the corner of his lips.
"W-W-Who the hell are you?" one of them growled. It was obvious a small amount of fear was given off.
"He looks alot like that other punk we beat up." Another one pointed.
"Who cares? He will be dead anyways soon." The other one replied back.
All of them lunged towards bakura. Bakura just sighed and easily dodged every one of their attacks.
"YOUR GOING TO PAY FOR THAT YOU BASTARD!" one of them threatened maliciously in frustration.
"I don't think so. I think it's more like you who would be paying around here. You stupid bastards don't know what I really am, do you?" Bakura only grinned back at the man's foolish talk. This made the jerk more pissed off.
"Shut up with the bluff you asshole, your going to die sooner anyways!" he ran up to Bakura and tried grabbing him from behind, but missed. Bakura on the other hand grabbed the man's wrist instead and twisted it easily, causing the bone to crack. The man screamed in pure agony which made the boy's grin to grow wider.
Finally, Bakura shoved him down on the floor. The thug only scooted back, now afraid of him as there was the look of pure terror in his eyes now.
Suddenly, the millennium ring around his neck began to glow brightly. The thug just moved backwards, frightened by the sight right infront of him.
"What the hell-" the other one's eyes went wide. "W-What the hell is that thing?!"
"Humans defeated by fear... how I love to see it." Bakura laughed insanely out loud while there was a crazy gleam in his eyes.
"Shit! That guy is physco! RUN!!" one of them screamed his head off while running for his dear life, but tripped on something and fell back down clumsily. The others quickly ran up to him by helping him stand up on his feet again.
"Too late now, your all going to hell." Bakura laughed again while the ring glowed more brightly, and he sent all of them to the darkness, not even leaving any one trace of them left in sight. Bakura only watched with amusement as the darkness slowly consumed and ate each and every one of their bodies.
Ryou groaned quietly, slightly opening his eyes to gain his conscious back. Bakura head this, and turned his head around noticing that he boy was still in pain. He slowly walked towards the laying form, looking down at the teen, and then frowned in pity.
"Baka... this is what happens when you don't listen to me..." Bakura mumbled annoyingly while staring down at the helpless boy.
"I-I-I'm s-sorry Bakura that I r-ran off, t-this would of n-never h-happened if-" Ryou stuttered violently while shivering, terrified that he was expected to get another horrible beating when he goes home for running away from the house.
"Shut up, I don't want to hear your damn apology." Bakura put a finger over his lips. Ryou was really shocked by this. "Did Bakura come here to save me...?"he thought to himself while looking up at his yami in awe. "No..that can't be..how can he care about me all of a sudden. That's impossible.." Ryou shook it off.
"You can't walk..." Bakura muttered dissapointingly. Surprisingly, he carefully scooped up Ryou into his arms and carried him back home. Ryou tensed when Bakura picked him up, and shut his eyes tightly staying as still as possible. Ryou whimpered softly with pleading, gently resting his head and nuzzling the other boy's chest in begging and hoping somewhat that he wasn't in any deep trouble.
Bakura frowned deepened when he felt Ryou tense in his arms. For some odd reason he wanted to only throttle the boy until he realized that he wasn't planning on hurting him, but knew that it would sort of defeat the purpose. He didn't even know for himself why he was acting this way towards the teen which he had never done before. It confused him greatly, but it really didn't concern right now at the fact that Ryou was even in worse shape than the usual beatings he would get from Bakura any day.
"Relax, I'm not going to hurt you." Bakura said lightly, trying to calm the boy. His own soft voice surprised him a bit in realization.
Ryou had stopped shaking slightly after hearing Bakura telling him that. He sighed a relief sigh, and continued to rest his head gently against Bakura's chest. "C-Can I trust him? What if he's lying..."
"B-Bakura?" Ryou wasn't sure whether to speak or not.
"I thought I told you to shut up." Bakura replied back while not even bothering to look down at his lighter half. Ryou just sighed a small one while he continued to let Bakura carry him back to the house.
Bakura finally found the way going back to Ryou's house. He kicked the entrance door open and he set Ryou on the couch---he did this carefully so that he wouldn't hurt the injured boy more.
"Stay here." Bakura left Ryou going to the restroom.
Ryou just continued to lay down on the couch. He wondered where Bakura had went off to. "W-What is he doing..?" he thought to himself.
It wasn't long until Bakura returned back, and Ryou soon noticed that he was carrying a first aid kit. Wait...a first aid kit? What was he possibly gonna do with that thing? He was curious what Bakura was going to do to him. Bakura took out some bandages and some alcohol. Ryou was really surprised by this. "W-W-What... is he doing?"
"Roll up your sleeves." Bakura ordered.
"What?" Ryou only gave him a puzzled look.
"Didn't you hear me?" Bakura growled. Ryou nodded his head and did what Bakura told him to do.
"What are you doing Bakura...?" the still confused Ryou asked the ex tomb-robber.
"Why do you ask so many questions?" Bakura interrupted while getting a cotton from the aid kit and putting alcohol on it. "What does it look like? I'm disinfecting these wounds so you wouldn't get worse."
"Now hold still...this might sting alittle." With that Bakura placed it on one of Ryou's bleeding wound. Ryou tried not to scream by biting his lower lip. He tried keeping his crys inside, but he couldn't really hold onto it much longer.
"Ouch!" Ryou screamed out loud. "That hurt Bakura!" he shouted while jerking back away and holding onto his arm. He gently rubbed it in pain.
"I told you it would hurt a little baka!" Bakura glared.
"It hurt more like than alittle..." Ryou argued.
"Awww, too bad weakling..." Bakura taunted and smirked evilly.
"Why are you acting nice all of a sudden? You've never done this before even after you hurt me. Your starting to scare me...are you sure your okay?" Ryou made a worried expression.
"I will be alot more scarier if you don't shut up with these foolish questions." Bakura growled. Ryou just listened to him and shut his mouth quickly.
Ryou still couldn't believe the scene in front of him. The boy thought he was dreaming, but it seemed surely real enough to him; he just hoped this was true. Ryou thought he would never see the day 'Bakura' would ever do something like this for him.
"Now hold still .. I'm not done." Bakura continued. Ryou couldn't help but keep on moving away. Bakura glared.
"Hikari, I can't do this if you keep on moving away..."
Ryou tried not to move too much, but he couldn't really help it. Bakura only sighed, knowing very well that the boy wouldn't listen to him no matter how many times he was forced to tell him.
Bakura grabbed the his hand and placed it on his own arm.
"Here. Squeeze my arm whenever it hurts." Bakura let him do this so it would be alot more easier. Bakura continued disinfecting the wounds. Ryou winced and cringed cautiously, still trying to keep his crys inside, and he was also struggling through the attempt to not squeeze Bakura's arm afraid that it would anger him.
About half an hour Bakura had finally done his job. Ryou had alot more bandages than he had before. They covered his arms, legs, and face. The bleeding had finally stopped, so he was relieved.
"Your lucky I saved your ass today. You owe me a big one." Bakura crossed his arms and smirked.
"B-Bakura? Um, why did you do this for me-" Ryou sat up from the couch continuing to say, but got cut off by Bakura.
"Why does it matter? I saved your life and that's all that matters." Bakura replied back harshly before walking off. Ryou was speechless, continuing to sit silently on the couch.
"You need rest now. You have school tomorrow. Go to sleep..." Bakura helped the injured boy up to his room. Ryou climbed into his bed and pulled the covers over himself.
"Y-Yami?" Ryou spoke softly.
"What?" Bakura replied back coldly while stopping on his way out. "T-Thanks for what y-you did t-today." Ryou smiled weakly as he felt nervous afterwards to what he had just said.
"Chh." Bakura only scoffed back, and retreated back into his soul room. Ryou sighed mentally to himself in mild depression.
#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&
...I-I can't believe what I judt did for the little bastard! Am I seriously starting to get soft here? No... that can't be. I'm the darkness... I have no heart. Not even for my him. I'll kill him when the time comes...but, not now. He was lucky today that I saved his ass from those punks... if it wasn't for me he would of been dead by now. I just hope he learned his lesson to never run away from me ever again, because if he ever does again... I'll make sure to make him go through hell like he's never before. He just better watch out next time...
Bakura smirked wildly into the darkness.
The dark shadow remained silent and stood still. It looked more taller, bigger, and he didn't have spiky long hair. Ryou studied the figure for awhile. His eye's widened. "Wait your not Bakura..who are-" all of a sudden the form put his hands over his mouth, causing him to let out a muffled scream.
