Hi! Sami, Ryou's Hikari here! I've put up two chapters today, so if this is up the next one should be too, unless fanfiction net is screwy, which it sometimes is. This is about Bakura being tired of the way people view him, and what he thinks about his life within death. Read on!

No one knew me before the massacre of my Village of Thieves.

They never saw me innocent, now everybody believes,

I am evil, cruel and power-mad, but they know nothing of me.

Do they honestly think I wanted to gain this cursed immortality?

If they do they are seriously mistaken and quite insane.

I could never enjoy inflicting so much chaos, terror and pain.

Emptiness fills my heart, and my pride keeps me from changing my ways.

But I am not proud of the torturous lifestyle I'm living these days.

Of capturing souls, filling the Shadow Realm with pathetic mortals.

And it drains so much of my energy to create these shadow portals.

So as the light behind me grows, I pray to Ra I fade,

For you have no idea how tiring it is putting on this masquerade.

To live a death of loneliness, nobody but myself to impress,

And nobody to call mine but this angels soul that I possess.

So get whatever you can to steal my soul and my breath.

I'm so tired of living this life within death.

Was that as good as the rest? Anyway, look for the next chapter!

Thanks to:

Dark Magician Girl Hikaru –Loved your review, I like writing tantalizing, dark poems and stories. Of course I added you to my faves, you're brilliant! Thanks for the comments, glad you like my work! Can't wait for your next review!

Stormrose Dewleaf –Thanks for the review! It's alright, no need to explain, I do the same thing all the time, unless I really like a story and decide to review every chapter I've missed, but I've only done that once. Yes, I was wondering if people would know what abattoir was, and if any bothered to use a dictionary. I wasn't going to put the meaning, and be like: Abattoir means slaughter house, it's a place where they kill cows and there are canals full of blood. What kind of person says that? Thanks!

Rin-almighty-yaoi-lover –Um, well I really don't know what to say to such a nice review! Do you really think I'm better than you? Wow. Just wow! I'll think about the Yami and Yugi story, and believe me, as soon as I get an idea for a one-shot, I will make it and dedicate it to you! Glad you like the story!
Hey, you've seen Queen of the Damned! I watched that for the second time a few days ago! It's brilliant, isn't it, and Stuart Townsend rocks as Lestat, Tom Cruise in the first movie was pitiful! Have you read the book by any chance?
Happy Valentine's Day, it's late, I know, but I had to say it!

Well, there you have it! Chapter eight! Wow, it seemed only last week I started this…actually, it was! Wow, time has flown! Eh, as long as it keeps the reviews coming. Review, it makes me happy! And if you flame me I shall sick my Blue Eyes Shining Dragon on you!

Love Sami, Ryou's Hikari.
