Hey low
Yes...I'm back. I don't like this chapter so I won't say much. And this is so very short...Ah! Oh well...

Ryou
Bakura was not here.
He wasn't here when I woke up and he wasn't here now. I spent the next hour wandering in the dark corridors of my house, ignoring the pain that lived under Bakura's white bandages and cursing myself for letting the sweet call of sleep overpower my desperate need to make sure my yami was with me.
I settled in the back of my closet where the dark could be wrapped around me to protect me and pulled my knees to my face.

Bakura
Ryou wasn't on the couch when I got back. Something told me he was in his closet and I made my way there.
My hikari never noticed my presence when I discovered him huddled in the lonely corner. He looked as if he were in some sort of trance strange when I approached him.
"Ryou." I spoke softly, not wanting to startle him. "Do you need anything?" Ryou stared at me blankly for the longest time before replying.
"You left." It wasn't a accusation…but it stung like one. I grimaced.
"Do you need to sleep more?" I knew Ryou hadn't sleep in a week. The one hour of sleep he had gotten was nowhere near enough for his body to function properly.
"If I sleep…You might leave again." Ryou muttered. I froze.
"You need to sleep, Ryou." I said, almost without emotions. "I promise to spend more time with you later but, right now, you need to sleep for your body to function."
"You don't sleep."
"I'm a spirit." I began to get irritated. Why the hell couldn't Ryou just fucking sleep?
"I'm sorry." Ryou whispered, looking down again. "I didn't mean to make you angry." Ryou's words left me blinking rather stupidly.
"You didn't.
I squatted down to his eye level and petted him on the head. "Don't worry about it." Ryou rested his head on his knees and buried it in his arms.
"Do you want me to stay?" Dumb question. Of course he wanted me to stay. Sure enough, Ryou nodded his head slowly, cringing as his cheek rubbed against his cut up knees.
As my hikari and I sat there in that dark closet, I swear I could hear that delicate angel begin to sing.

Ryou
Dark.
The dark blinded me and the loneliness I felt was unbearable.
They were all gone.
Mother, Amane, Father, Yugi…even Bakura…they had all left me in the dark raped, broken, and bleeding. Raw wounds were scraped open and pain swelled between my legs.
I woke up screaming.

Bakura
Ryou's cry shook me from my position at the window and led me to where he slept in his closet. By the time I got there, Ryou was grabbing at his shoulders and sobbing.
I quickly knelt down by him and took his hands in mine.
"Ryou…what's wrong?" I whispered, somehow blending with the darkness. "Did you have a frightening dream?" A timid nod told me yes and I wrapped my arms around my hikari, wiping his tears from his cheeks.
"Would you like to tell me what happened in you dream?" Ryou shook his head quickly and I nodded, drawing him further in my grasp. "That's alright." I murmur into his soft hair.
Eventually, Ryou's closed eyes and steady breathing told me he had gone back into a slumber. I caressed his soft features with my hand for a moment before picking him up and carrying him to his bed.
Setting his down, I arranged his soft hair around his face and thought of my glass angel's delicate beauty. I smiled as I mused to myself that Ryou resembled her.
Making sure Ryou was well tucked in and at peace, I made my way out of the room and shut the door, still thinking of that singing glass angel.

Yes, I know that Bakura is incredibly OOC. Yes, I know that I'm writing Ryou strangely.
I'm trying to write more in full paragraphs because my "paragraphs" end up as only one or two lines, if you haven't noticed already. Huh. I'm trying to make Bakura seem a bit freaked out about Ryou right now... This does get better though...kinda. Maybe. Review?
