Disclamier: I do now own Yu-Gi-Oh!
Chapter 1: secrets uncovered
!()()()()()()()()()()()(

I am really getting tired of everyone thinking that I'm this little innocent person. And they keep treating me like i'm so...pure. I mean yea I know that I'm a Hikari, but still...I'm no Yugi. And I'm NOT innocent.

So I've come to the conclusion that I will show them that I'm not innocent, I'll show them all..

Even Kura, my Yami, thinks I'm pure and innocent. I mean he's my BLOODY Yami! He's my other half, you think he would know what was going on in my life.. But he doesnt, no one does..

Every day I go to the same school, with the same people, and do the same thing.

But I don't have that big of a problem with it, I'm with my friends after all. Kura doesnt go to school with us, neither does Yami. But sometimes its a disadvantage, like sometimes Joey or Tristen will say something perverted or something and Tea turns towards me and Yugi and starts to explain it!

I find this insulting.

I mean come on! I know what some stuff it, more than they think, and definatly more than Yugi, I don't even think he knows what kissing is.

Just like one time, I accidentally stumbled across Tristen and Joey talking about self-mutilation. when they saw me they looked surprised, then they looked at each other then back at me, then Tristen had the nerve of saying,

"Oh don't worry about it Ryou, you wouldn't understand.."

and then they walked out of the room!

Well guess what guys, I know what it is...I'll show you.. I'll show you all..

(enters into regular POV)

Ryou Bakura sat against the wall in his bedroom, the door was shut and the curtains were closed. His Yami had gone with the others to go eat ice cream. But he didn't feel like going so he told them he had a headache, they left, promising they would bring back some ice cream for him.

He glanced down at his bare arms, scars littered them. he often wore long sleeve shirts so that he wouldn't have attention drawn to them.

But his arms were now covered with fresh wounds, the knife he had used was laying a little ways away with his blood still on it.

Then for no reason at all, he started to giggle.

'why am I laughing?' he asked himself

because they think your so damn innocent..

this thought came not from Ryou, but from another, he didn't know who it was, but he liked what it was saying. It had been whispering these kinda thoughts to Ryou for some time now.

"Yes.." he replied to the voice out loud.

and your going to show them just how innocent you really are..

Before Ryou could reply to the voice this time, the door opened and all of Ryou's friends walked in the room, their chatter stopped when their eyes fell on Ryou, slumped against the wall, giggleing and bleeding.

"RYOU!"

and with in a moment everyone was gathered around Ryou, Bakura was the first one to ask "who did this to you? I'll ripe them apart for hurting MY Hikari!"

All Ryou did was look up at them, but not really seeing them, and said,

"Do you think I could do this to myself?"

Everyone exchanged a glance at each other, none of them thinking that Ryou could do this to himself.

There was a small puddle of blood forming around Ryou, and he was paling, he didn't realize how deep he had cut himself this time.

Bakura paled and pushed everyone out of the way and picked up his aibou.

"we're taking him to the hospital, he's losing too much blood."

the others nodded and walked out of the house, they took Tea's car.

Bakura refused to let Ryou down, he held him the whole way, Ryou's head rested on his dark's shoulder, brushing aside Ryou's bangs so Bakura could get a good look at him, and the yami asked him again.

"who did this to you? Tell me Ryou so I can make them wish they were never born."

Ryou just looked up at him, and repeated the same thing.

"Do you think I could do this to myself?"

Bakura shook his head no, and smiled slightly and said "no you couldn't, but don't worry aibou, I WILL find the person who did this to you."

Then Joey spoke up "I bet it was that Marik creep! that slimy scumbag has done this before, I betcha he'd do it again!"

"Did Marik do this to you Ryou?" Tristen asked, turning around in his seat to get a better look at Ryou. Ryou was paler than he had been when he left the house.

On the way out they had grabbed some towels to try and stop the bleeding, but the once white fabric was now crimson.

Ryou was having a hard time keeping focus on his dark's face, everything was blurring, and suddenly he felt cold, he felt as if someone had dumped a bucket of cold water on him. He started to shiver uncontrollable. He couldn't stop his shivering if he tried.

He whispered " do you think I could do this to myself?" one last time before darkness took over and he fell unconscious.

"Can't this piece of shit go any faster!" Yelled Bakura.

"I'm trying Bakura! but there was traffic, we're here now." said Tea from the front seat, as soon as the car turned off Bakura leaped out and started running inside, with Ryou safely pressed into his chest.

As soon as the nurse saw Bakura and Ryou, whom she thought were twins, she picked up the phone and called a doctor to come to the front desk.

when Yugi, Yami, Tristen, Joey, and Tea finally came inside Bakura was yelling at the nurse for being so slow to get a doctor there.

Despite the seriousness of the situation Joey and Tristen let out a small chuckle and Bakura's behavior.

The doctor reached the group a few moments later, at one glace at the boy in his 'twins' arms he called for a stretcher for Ryou.

With great difficulty they were finally able to get Bakura to let go of his Hikari, and the doctor and nurses rolled him away.
