Ryorin: Hee, hee! I'm back after five long months, not as a reviewer but as an authoress.

Ruka: Please don't forget me, her yami. This story is err... mostly about my hikari's life. She feels the unfairness of life and wants to end it all.

Ryorin: Not exactly true. That's just the summary of the fic. Kosui, can you do the disclaimer?

(Ryorin's Dark Magician looks up from his book)

Kosui: Ryorin does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Or Linkin' Park, though she really wishes she does.

Wounded Angel

Chapter 1- Breaking The Habit

Memories consume like opening the wounds

I'm picking me apart again

You all assume I'm safe here in my room

Unless I try to start again

(Ryorin's P.O.V)

Another day and another start at life. Ra, I hate life so much! There's nothing for me in this world. I am all alone. I have no one to love, I have no friends to be with, I have no one to cling to, I have no will to live. I'm all alone.

I don't want to be the one

The battles always choose

'Cause inside I realize

That I'm the one confused

I put down my brush and stare at my reflection. Mysterious green eyes stare back at me. Straight black hair frames my face. People say that I'm an angel. Am I? I feel more like an angel of death.

I don't know what's worth fighting for

Or why I have to scream

I don't know why I instigate

And say what I don't mean

I flinch as my hair brushes against my arm There's a long and deep gash there, my most recent injury. It's funny. There's no pain when you're cutting yourself. The pain comes after. But that's life, isn't it? One moment you're enjoying yourself. The next, you're filled with pain.

I don't know how I got this way

I know it's not alright

So I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

Tonight

I get up and walk out of my house. The sky is dull and cloudy, matching my mood. I cross the road lifelessly. A car almost knocks me down but I don't care. I 'd rather die than live.

Clutching my cure I try to lock the door

I try to catch my breath again

I've hurt much more than anytime before

I have no options left again

I sit at my table quietly. No one seems to notice me. They don't know I'm there. A girl bumps into my table, knocking down my books. She didn't even stop to say sorry. It's as if I didn't exist

I don't want to be the one

The battles always choose

'Cause inside I realize

That I'm the one confused

I pick up my books and stack them neatly before playing with my wounds. I enjoy every stab of pain I feel. I smile with content. The physical pain I feel is enough to drive out the hurt in my heart.

I don't know what's worth fighting for

Or why I have to scream

I don't know why I instigate

And say what I don't mean

A hand touches my shoulder. I look up to see you. "What?" I ask. You just look at me oddly before walking away. Great. I didn't ask for more hurt.

I don't know how I got this way

I'll never be alright

So I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

Tonight

You are all that I wanted to be. Rich, successful, famous, perfect. You are Seto Kaiba, the richest teen in Japan. You have everything I don't have. You're perfect. I hate you for it.

I'll paint it on the walls

'Cause I'm the one that falls

I'll never fight again

And this is how it ends

When no one is looking, I take out a blade and cut yet another line on my forearm. It hurts like hell, but at least it can give me the feeling of contentment and satisfaction I long for.

I don't know what's worth fighting for

Or why I have to scream

I know I have some clarity

To show you what I mean

The walls of my heart are black, my heart itself cold. My emotions are only expressed through writing or drawing. People look at me, they see an angel. Fat hope.

I don't know how I got this way

I'll never be alright

So I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

Tonight

Angel? Maybe. I'm a wounded angel. Yeah, that's it. A wounded angel.
