The True Hero

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, or any other show, brand name, song, movie, or anything else in that nature (if used). Constructive criticism is accepted and appreciated. This is not recommended for children under the age of 13 because of language and blood. People of the internet, you have been warned. Ryo POV.

I entered my apartment

I walked over to the living room

I slumped down onto the sofa

As I recalled my day from hell:

When I woke up this morning

It felt as if I hadn't slept at all

On my walk to school

Honda had tripped me on the ice

Which made me late to class

Jonouchi told me to do his work for him

Ryuji didn't stop glaring at me with evil eyes

When I failed my Geometry test

Yugi snickered behind me

That damn son of a bitch

Anzu began gossiping when I asked to go home early again

When the teacher shook his head

I heard Yugi whisper:

"That's right, Bakura. You're not getting away!"

My heart sank

My stomach dropped

And I ran out of the room.

Now I'm back home

Although I'm still not alone

Still not safe from the hurt of words from others

Revenge, Ryo…

He hissed in my ear

I tried to block him out

But it was pointless.

You deserve it…

I began to shake all over

I thrashed my head from side to side

Refusing to listen

But he kept coming back

Claim your prize, Ryo

His voice began poisoning me thoughts

I could see the blood

The sticky red liquid

All over the campus of my school

Even the sky seemed to bleed

And I saw him

I saw Bakura smiling as he held a red-stained blade.

He turned to me

He revealed his inhuman fangs as his grinned

"For you, Ryo…"

He laughed:

"This is all for you…"

I screamed

And when I opened my eyes

I was back in my apartment

When I thought it was over

I could hear him speak again:

And it soon will be…

"No!"

I yowled

And then ran into the kitchen

And pulled out a knife

You cannot kill me with that!

He began to mock me

Just like everyone else

Like how I'm shunned at school like the plague

"Enough!"

I shouted

The cold medal of the blade pierced into my skin

Stabbing the muscles

And spilling the blood

Ryo, what are you doing?

His voice turned into a panic

I knew it was working

So I moved on down my arm

Without removing the blade

Stop it, Ryo!

I smiled

Not listening to his words of mercy

You'll kill us both!

I didn't care

And I knew that no one else did either

I thought about what would happen when they find my body

Will they be sad?

Or overjoyed?

I didn't care

And it didn't matter anyway

Because deep down

I know

And they know

That I am the true hero

I am the one who will save them

The one that will destroy the evil

For my last moments

I was proud of myself

Even if others were not

And I kindly allowed

The darkness to consume me.

A/N: I wrote this after having an extremely depressing day yesterday. And yeah, I failed my Geometry test, too. But the good news is that I've gone back to my normal (normal for me) happy, yet still crazy, self! Anyway, please leave a comment! Thank you!
