YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY RYOU'S POV

Joey and the others flinched when they saw my bruised wrists.

"Who the...? What the...?" Joey fumbled with his words then Tristan butted in.

"What happened and who was it!" he shouted. I was starting to feel scared but if I said it was Bakura and that he... you know, they might try to take him on but they don't stand a chance with an insane, 5000 year old tomb-robber psychopath! I don't to lose anyone else I care about... I won't tell them...

"Ryou... was it Bakura?" Yugi said to me softly, he was right but I can't let him know so I remained in my motionless position. But, I also don't want them to worry! I have to tell them something... anything!

"I-it was n-nothing. I-I fell is all." God! I am pathetic! They didn't fall for it.

"Ryou, that isn't it! Tell us! Please."

"No, I can't. If I do... you could lead yourselves to an early grave." I said darkly.

"Ryou. We'll go if you want." Yugi offered. I nodded sadly and they left. I saw someone go round a corner and he looked a lot like me. Bakura was out so I may be safe if I go back, at least for a while.

I went back. I couldn't take it! I grabbed the shimmering knife from the counter and slashed my arm. I got carried away and I can't remember how long or how many times I cut myself, I just... lost control. That night I wished I could just never wake up however as long as I had my knife I had control, I had hope! I could hear the phone ring so I picked it up, it was Yugi on the other end. Yugi is my best friend and I think he feels the same. I should tell him, he could keep a secret and keep his cool.

"Hello Yugi."

"Hi. Ryou what happened earlier. It must have been bad."

"It was Bakura. You were right."

"What did he do?"

"Promise not to tell anyone or try and kill Bakura?"

"Promise." I could almost tell that was a lie. Once I say he will tell the others but here it goes.

"Bakura raped me." I said bluntly.

"What?" Yugi said. I must have spoke fast.

"Bakura raped me." I said clearly.

"N-no. He couldn't have."

"He did..."

"I should g-go now." I could hear Yugi braking into tears then the phone hang up. That was the right thing to do. I went back to bed and that was a dream I would never forget.

I was wandering the shadows again.

"Not again... what does he want now?" I whispered softly. I saw him walking towards me.

"Ryou, I try to teach you something but you forget straight away."

"Teach me?" I said quietly.

"Ryou, we are not all that different!" He rolled up his sleeve and I could see the cuts I had made on my arm! He rolled my sleeve up and cut me. It gave me no pleasure as this was not controlled by me! He licked the blood into his mouth and at the same time I could taste the blood. "I hurt you for a reason. To show you something and now you embrace the pain. Just like me. Now you're just like me..." he whispered.

"B-but I don't want to be like you." I said sadly.

"But you are." Those we're the last words until I woke. I ran to the kitchen where my knife was and threw it out the window. I have no control anymore and Bakura won't let me leave. I'm trapped. Trapped with no light...

BAKURA'S POV

That was easy. Ryou fell for the trick. I can feed of his fears so easily! I had to get rid of his last hope, who knows, one day he might cut too deep and what fun would that be? He is mine now!

EPILOGUE

RYOU'S POV

I never left, never could. Never went back to Domino high. Never saw my friends again, never spoke or wrote to anyone. They never found out why, some people thought I was dead. They would knock at the door but neither of us would answer. I wasn't allowed. Soon it all stopped. Yugi and the others never stopped worrying though. Never. I was Bakura's slave, his lapdog, his footstool, and his bedslave. I never had freedom. I never had hope. I never had control. I never had light...
