The soaked boy rummaged through his pockets frantically before he found his keys and shakily unlocked the door glancing over his shoulder as he ran inside. He slammed the door behind him and switched on all the lights next to his hand, he leaned his back against the door and sighed rubbing his raw and tired eyes.
He growled pitifully when he realized he had ended up empty handed. The whole point of him going out was for food, he didn't sleep very well during the night so he kept putting it off then he had realized it had been almost 4 days since he had eaten anything and he was hungry beyond belief; he had looked at the clock when he had finally awoken and it had said 6 Pm at the time he had thought he would have enough time.
Flash back
He made his way slowly and cautiously down the sidewalk to the nearest store about a 30 min. walk from his home. He entered the cool store and flinched when the sound of thunder striking met his ears.
He was half way down the frozen isle when the lightning hit a main power cord frying the security system; he looked around seeing the wide eyes of the other customers.
"It won't let us out!" One of the bag boys yelled obviously checking for damage.
"The generators fried too!" Another voice yelled out from the left.
Ryou sighed and looked at his watch 6:38 Pm. A pang of fear ran through him knowing he was running late as it was and if he didn't get out soon it would be dark before he could get home. He didn't like the things that lurked in the shadows.
His head trailed up to look at the ceiling as the sound of rain falling started. He groaned silently. It took them an hour and a half to fix the problem by then Ryou was almost hyperventilating it was already dark outside, he would never make it.
He started out the doors forgetting all about the food and half jogged/ walked toward his home. That's when he saw it.
Up ahead a toothy grin on its face showing long sharp canines, that was the only thing he could see in the darkness, its bright teeth and blood stained hands no other details visible other then a blotchy silhouette. His eyes flicked down and he saw the bodies of two fully grown men lying carelessly on the ground blood mixing with the thin layer of water on the cement.
His mouth gaped in a silent scream and he started to run.
End Flashback
He shook his head clearing it of the images and ran a hand through his wet hair pushing the weighed locks back and away from sticking to his neck.
He removed his shoes making a mental note to clean up the large puddle in the front where he had been standing. He took a few hesitant steps forward turning on the lights as he went. He looked over toward the phone and saw the red light flashing indicating a message he went over to it and pushed the play back button.
'Ryou… Hey it's Yugi I just called to see if you where okay since you haven't been to school in over a week… Well I guess you're not home so I'll call another time.'
He deleted the message with blank eyes and played the next.
'Hello this is the….'
He deleted that one as well.
'Ryou this is Dad, I won't be able to make it home this week we found an…'
That one went as well and he stared down at the red number 0 a sigh of exasperation passing his chapped lips, and he shut his eyes.
The remembrance of that mans filthy mouth ravishing his came back and he felt nauseas, he ran to the bathroom barely reaching the toilet before he hurled, ridding his stomach of whatever may have been in it. When he felt good enough to stand he wiped his mouth with a hand towel and went to the sink washing his face with cold water. He brushed his teeth several times gagging when he shoved the toothbrush practically down his throat trying to clean his tongue.
He stripped the wet cloths off his body and turned the water in the shower to a descent temperature, then hopped under the harsh spray, closing his eyes once more as his body relaxed.
He rid his mind of each fear one at a time and, before long he was nearly asleep under the soothing pressure. He finished and shut the water off, drying himself with a fluffy towel, he then went into his room flinching when a cold draft hit his body, he threw on a pair of boxers, white pajama bottoms, and a white t shirt.
He pulled his hair from its towel cocoon and threw the towel to the side along with the one that had occupied his waist. He pulled the wet strands back and brushed the knots out, then braided it so it wouldn't mess and knot during the night.
He crawled under the warm blankets not bothering to turn any of the lights off. With in seconds he had fallen to sleep dreaming of better times forgetting the mess he had made while entering the house.
Bakura trudged back to the house smirking and slinking through the shadows un noticed by the very few who where out at this time, his hands and mouth where stained red with the blood of a few foolish people that had crossed his path that night not even an hour ago.
He wiped the blood off in a puddle his reflection showing the smirk and laughter in his eyes at their untimely demise, and his little playmate joining him for the first time in over a week.
A moment later he ran faster then possible for a human back to his current home. He snuck silently through his window on the far side of the run down mansion right as he was almost home free he froze sensing another presence in his dark abode and fell to the floor.
"And were where you all night?" A calm feminine voice asked slowly from behind him. The click and bright light that meet him made him flinch. He stood and slowly turned around a sheepish smile on his face. Isis was the only one who could scare him and unfortunately she knew that.
"Uh… Just walking around getting a snack." He said fidgeting with his hands next to the window where he had dropped, trying to glare at her for being in his room and failing in his attempt miserably.
"You mean chasing that poor innocent again right, and killing the humans?" She asked glaring at him.
"Eh… How did you know…? I mean… No…" He said trying to back track what he had said his eyes narrowing.
"Malik told me after I persuaded him." She replied with the hint of a smile made scarier by the glint in her eye.
Bakura groaned knowing even he would have cracked under that kind of torment.
"So who is this boy… Or girl that you are tormenting nightly?" She asked sitting down on the edge of his bed, smoothing out the wrinkles in her dress.
"…I don't know his name. And I'm not scaring him too much…It's not every night… It's only a game, and it's a good thing I was there or he would probably have been raped." Bakura defended himself growling at her for making him sound so pathetic.
Isis shook her head. "Whose fault would it have been...? It's not a game unless both parties agree to it…" She glared at him with a knowing scowl. "What kind of game are you playing with him?" She asked after a few seconds of tense silence.
Bakura pulled a wooden chair that had been leaning against his wall over to him and sat straddling it. "Nightlight." He said leaning his chin against his crossed arms.
"Oh?" Isis inquired arching an eyebrow.
"It's a game I used to play with Marik when we where younger, before we were changed… We would go out in the middle of the night and chase each other in the dark. The light was your safety. You weren't around much so I wouldn't expect you to remember." He said explaining the rules smirking at the remembrance of all the fun they had had terrorizing each other.
"And why, might I ask are you playing with this boy?" She asked curiosity eating at her though she wouldn't reveal it to him.
"I want to catch him." He said starting too pick at a loose thread his voice showing he would reveal no more, not even to her.
"You can give him a heart attack you know this right?" She asked smiling softly at him.
He rolled his eyes. "It's not like he's 50 I think he's around 14 maybe 16 at the oldest, 14 year olds can't have heart attacks I think, he'd pass out before that ever happened, he's a very weak boy." Bakura said.
"Hmm…Yes… And you know one day he will be old and you won't be able to play with him anymore right?" She asked looking concerned again.
"Yes. I realize that." Bakura said shutting his eyes against the glare of the ceiling light.
"Take a shower and get some rest we have too much to get done tomorrow to allow you to slack off." She said standing up and readying herself to leave. "Oh and Bakura…"
"Hmm?" He asked looking up at her.
"You're grounded." She said with a smile and a twinkle in her eye.
He growled, but let it go knowing there was really no way he could change her mind the thought of a being his age grounded made him flinch, but he knew to endure it and just sneak out like usual she was usually a pushover if you weren't doing anything bad.
He stood from his spot on the chair and rummaged through his closet, looking at the clock he saw it was only 3:45 A.M. He grabbed a random black t shirt and some clean boxers then made his way into the bathroom to shower and ready for a few hours of sleep. He passed by Mariks room and debated if he should check on him or not like he used to, but he thought better of it knowing Malik was probably in there and they where most likely not sleeping yet. A muffled moan confirmed his suspicion; he snorted and moved faster toward the bathroom just wanting to sleep anymore.
Don't worry you find out way more about what's going on later on. And yes Bakura lives with Isis. It's Au ((Rolls eyes)) You got to find out who they where though I know I did a horrible job at Bakura, but suffer he's only like that with Isis. ; I'm the author don't argue. TT
