Chapter 5
Ryou panicked. What was he supposed to say?

"W-what?"He stuttered.

The teacher smiled at him. It was evident she hadn't a clue. Her face fell when she saw the disappointed look on his face.

"What's wrong?"She asked.

"M-my father doesn't care."He said quietly "Why would he? He always leaves me alone.".

She frowned at him in dismay. Well then again, the child did have a point. She saw the conflicting emotions in his eyes and knew this went deeper than his father's home coming.

"Is there something going on at home Ryou?"She asked kneeling to look him in the eye.

He looked away in uncertainly, avoiding eye contact. She frowned at him slightly.

"Is someone or something bothering you?"She asked.

He shook his head and began backing away slowly. He shook his head and turned running back to the detention room. The teacher looked up concerned. As he closed the door behind him, Bakura sensed the stress and anger coming off his son. Ryou slid down the door frame and sat silently staring at the door.

"What's wrong?"He approached him and slid down the next to him.

He turned the shaking boy towards him and saw angry tears falling down his pale cheeks.

"Don't cry. Don't cry."He pulled him closer and Ryou buried his face in Bakura's shirt "It's ok.".

He patted the child's head. Ryou shook in anger or fear. Bakura couldn't tell which.

"Can you tell me what's wrong?"He whispered.

"F-Father's coming home."He stuttered shaking even more.

"Shh, shh. It's ok."Bakura said.

What?! His so called "father" was coming home?! Why?! Was he going to start caring about Ryou now? From what Ryou had spoke of him, he was rarely home and he never stayed for more than a day. He was completely ignoring his son leaving him to look after himself the second he was old enough to walk. No. He wasn't going to let Ryou be cast aside and ignored like he was worthless again. He would show him. He realized he was growling and glaring daggers at the wall and that Ryou was looking up at him teary eyed and scared.

"So much hurt in in his eyes. So much fear of being abandon again. His "father" has corrupted this little light and left it to burn out alone..."Bakura thought.

"Um, Bakura-San what do i do now?"He asked.

Bakura felt a swirl of emotions coming from the mind link.

"Don't worry."He patted his head again.

The final bell rang telling Ryou to get home. On the way home, Ryou shut his side of the the mind link. This worried Bakura. The boy was obviously feeling more saddened by the home coming than he let on. He didn't deserve this. Light's were meant to shine and glow. Not be dimmed as his father had done to him. Ryou entered the apartment and closed the door behind him.

"Bakura-san i'm going to be alone for a while."He said.

He nodded and left the child alone. As the night went on Bakura made dinner for his light but, Ryou wasn't hungry. Bakura waited for him to come down but, he never did. Finally, around ten thirty Bakura decided to leave Ryou's dinner on the night stand next to his bed. Silently he opened the bedroom door and immediately sensed Ryou was awake. The boy lay in his bed pretending to sleep. Slowly Bakura sat the plate on the nightstand and turned to leave.

"Bakura?"Ryou said quietly.

He turned smiling at the child.

"You should be asleep hikari."Bakura said giving his son a nickname.

"I-i can't."Ryou smiled slightly, then yawned.

"Don't worry about your father. I'll protect you son. You'll never be abandon again."He told him.

Ryou looked uncertain at the shadows as if afraid his father would come out of them. Bakura crossed the room and sat on the boys bed. Ryou lay down and Bakura tucked him in.

"M-my mother used to sing..."Ryou said sheepishly.

Bakura nodded getting the memo. As Ryou fell asleep Bakura sang.

"Deep in the desert, into the village, there's a place for you. Down the dirt streets, under the palm trees i'll be wait for you my son. Down the river, the sun shines down,come away with me. Come away."He sang the lyrics just coming to him "Just down the river, dark falls light the way my son. You are the son of light.".

He finished as Ryou fell asleep. He smiled at him and silently left the room whispering one last thing.

"Good night my Hikari."
End.
