Hi everyone! Sami, Ryou's Hikari here, but you knew that didn't you? I really hope you like this chapter, it is my personal favorite! It is about Ryou becoming dark and evil because of all the things Bakura had done to him! Let me see, rape, murdering people in his body, mutilation, verbal and physical abuse and entrapment in the Shadow Realm… no wonder Ryou turns evil in this! Read on!

Disclaimer: If I owned YuGiOh, I would be in the Shadow Realm right now for giving Bakura bunny ears!


On this cold and lonely night when no one seems to hear me scream,

I begin to rot away, my iron will has gone, and I am no longer fierce and mean.

For now I lie, an empty shell upon a bed of lies and hollow repression.

Vengeance is no longer in my powers; it embodies so much pure possession.

I possessed this child with sweet doe eyes and called him my host; he was my light.

He was gorgeous and beautiful, innocent and alive, but now things, for him, are not alright.

For I took away that light within him, he is dark and terrifyingly unforgiving.

And it is just because of me, the spirit inside the cursed Millennium Ring.

I took his hand and kissed it with my dark and lethal spell, and he embraced it longingly.

And swallowed up by darkness, he emerged so cruel, it made my senses tingly.

He took a dagger off the wall and strung me up, onto the bed, and carved letters in my back.

That sweet teen is now gone, and his evil is now on a rabid, rapid attack.

He carves the words, "My dark, my love, you are MY host now, and forever more."

Then he cut my bonds and turned me around, and kissed my brow and exited by his door.

I looked at his back as he walked out the door, but there were no words there.

It seemed he and I were no longer joined by body, just by soul, mind, and hearts once fair.

We used to both be innocents, but we were changed to evil and corruption.

There were many chances to turn back the time, but each had its own interruption.

Cursed we may be, but at least before, it was I who was dark, and he was light then.

But sadly now we are both in the shadows, and no longer is he one of mortal men.

Both immortal, we begin to fade; he is transparent as I am right now.

I enter the room he went into and try to change him back somehow.

The damage done; the curse holds fast and he is darkness eternally, unchangeable, gone.

So now we both have legacies, but neither has a light with which to pass it on.

With he the former light a dark, I fade, and so does he now, because after all,

There must be dark to balance light, and without any light, we darks cannot stay strong.

Irrevocable, this damage I have cause on him, my once light angel of life.

Now we are both dead and clearly we will never be free of our aching strife.

Bringing tears of blood and blood of tears we cry over our lost youth and lives.

In this world of darkness and shadows, out of ten hopes, only one survives.

Coming into the spirit life of Shadow Realm magic and forceful terror,

My former compassionate light does not even begin to feel his darkness is an error.

He stabs our rivals in the back; literally he drains them dry of blood and tears.

He is an angelic vampire, and he has come to realize my worst eternal fears.

That he is gone, a new Ryou is before me, with dull eyes and a faded, unknown past.

What ever happened to his life and youth, however quickly did had it passed?

Oh Ryou, my once sweet, innocent and doe eyes little precious host,

Has left me like the high tide leaves the coarse and rugged seashore coast.

Please give me back my angel, from whom pure light always shone.

Give him back to me, until you do, our freedom will never be won.

Oracles tell me prophecies that are never to pass; they will never ever come true.

Please Ra, I am begging, please release his light, it is all up to you!

Reminded of his lost beauty by pictures on the wall that fall down to the ground.

I cry him a river that flows so freely, I have never cried before, no not a sound.

Black angel was born, those years ago, three thousand years Ryou has been immortal.

Now is the year five thousand and five, how did he change from such a pure mortal.

His eyes, once soft, are fading and sharp, his hair once snowy, is dirty and rough.

I want to kill him, and then myself, so please bring him back, I have had enough!


Well, that is chapter thirty six, and I hoped everyone loved it! Thanks:

Stormrose Dewleaf –Well, I was going to kill Tea first, but I decided to murder Serenity first for fun! Ha, that'll show her for being so naïve! I am sorry Mokuba and Seto were killed, I hated doing that, but remember, Seto wasn't killed, he committed suicide, there is a difference! Okay, Yami Marik is yours, Ror! What were you upset about Stormrose? Thanks for reviewing!

Calmhorizon –Ryou isn't dead, that was just last chapter's poem! I can make them come alive again with the power of anime! It's like when they get bruised and then five seconds later the mark is gone! In the last chapter they died and one chapter later they are alive again! Thanks for reviewing!

ttSerenity –Hey! I used all three vocab words in this chapter! Vengeance, embodies and compassionate! Gah, acid, enough with the Ra-Damned science terms, or next chapter Bakura shall destroy science forever! Take that! Thanks for reviewing, say goodbye to science as you know it!

If I missed responding to your review, I received it after this chapter was posted.

Love Sami, Ryou's Hikari.
