Ryou Bakura has never been nor ever will be normal.
He knew this even when he was a child, random people off the street would come up and tell him and his mother what a beautiful young girl he was with his waist length silver hair, pale skin and doe brown eyes. No he wasn't normal, he was a boy who looked like a girl to most; this was indeed not an average appearance.
When his mother and sister died his thoughts on normality were pushed to the side in favour of grieving with his father, but as the months wore on his grief slowly was replaced by his own hectic thoughts. However it wasn't until his fathers gift, that he questioned his normality again, well that and his sanity.
The ring brought with it a dark presence, which he later discovered belonged to a Tomb-Robber named Bakura from ancient Egypt. Unlike most people, when confronted with a spirit he didn't scream, faint or any such thing, he merely greeted the sprit as he would have anyone else.
As he got to know the sprit he began to enjoy its company, even though it was the company of a homicidal, manically, evil thief who also was the other half of his soul, he liked Bakura.
When he was forced to move to Japan because students at his old school who annoyed him ended up in commas or had there souls sealed in dolls, it only reinforced the fact that he wasn't normal.
However when he became friends with Yugi and his gang he started to feel less abnormal, for he wasn't the only person with a darker half. Yet the gods decided to keep him distanced for they made him get a crush on Yugi, telling him in no uncertain terms that he was gay. But as time went by and the crush faded his sexuality stayed the same.
The group however had a change of opinion surrounding him. For as they came to know Ryou and his darker half they started distancing themselves from him claming his other half was to evil and murderous. Once again he was the abnormal one.
As time went by and he was ignored even more by all his once called friends did he start to depend on Bakura's company again. Bakura himself is not what you'd classify as normal either. He was a vengeful sprit and had a surprising amount of symptoms that one found in an insane asylum.
Maybe it was because of his abnormality all his life that drew Ryou to Bakura but for what ever reason Ryou loved Bakura taking his being gay to a whole new level. Now he wasn't just gay, he was in fact a narcissist, he was in love with someone who looked and seemed exactly like him only had an underlining sense of murder and pain.
He also knew he wasn't normal when he was in a relationship with his darker half. They never said 'I love you' or any such caring words, they knew they felt that way but they never spoke it. When they had sex it was never normal sex it was with Bakura the sadist and Ryou the masochist.
If Bakura wanted to steal something or kill someone Ryou would never stop him but never join him he was content to live with the saying 'What I don't know can't hurt me' And when Bakura came home covered in blood and he ran over and ripped Bakura's clothes of before pulling them to the bedroom, he knew he wasn't normal, he knew his life wasn't normal.
But when had it ever been?
