Shadow Bakura

Ryou shivered. He couldn't take another beating. He thought he could see Bakura have tears in his eyes, but that couldn't be so. On that day when he kidnapped Ryou, he felt as though the two had a connection. But then Bakura went and kidnapped him. Ryou whimpered. He was so cold, and bruises as well as cuts were scattered across his body. Then his stomach churned. He could hear footsteps. The door knob started turning. Ryou knew it, Bakura was coming back to give him another beating. Bakura opened the door, and came in. He had something behind his back. He knelt down and was inches away from Ryou's face. Ryou whimpered. Bakura flinched. He actually flinched. His eyes looked tired, and he seemed sad. He brought his other hand in front of himself. Ryou saw it was a ripe Honeycrisp Apple. His eyes glimmered, and Bakura smiled. He reached for Ryou's hand, putting the apple into his hand before leaving.

Ryou stared at the door. Was Bakura just nice to him? He bit hungrily into the apple and didn't stop till he was done. He moved awkwardly against the chain so he could throw the remainder of it away. He had a chain on his ankle keeping him locked to the wall. He had scars on his arms and back that were deep. He didn't understand how someone could hate him so much, but then be nice to him all at the same time. Why did he always seem to have had cried before and after hurting him? None of it made any sense to Ryou. He only wished it could be over. He didn't want to be beaten so much. Ryou heard a loud crash and he jolted upright. He tried getting close to the door, but the chain restrained him. He was able to get close enough to put his ear against the door if he was halfway laying down. It was then, that the screaming started and everything was going to change.

Downstairs, Bakura was yelling at a Shadow. "Admit it! You have become too soft!" The Shadow said. "Leave me alone!" He yelled back. "We own you! You are ours!" The Shadow roared. It was then, that Bakura knew he shouldn't have said anything. The Shadow rushed towards him, grabbing him by the ankle pulling him down. He yelled as his head smashed against the floor. The Shadow dragged him around hitting Bakura's head on anything in the path. "Let go!" Bakura tried kicking out. Bad mistake. The Shadow let go and became furious. "You dare defy me!" He said. The Shadow possessed Bakura. "Get out of my head!" Bakura screamed. The Shadow made Bakura smile evilly. Shadow Bakura ran upstairs, kicking Ryou's door down sending Ryou flying. He smiled evilly again, and grabbed Ryou by the throat. Ryou's eyes stretched wide and were terrified. Shadow Bakura slapped him and threw him onto the ground, and he kicked him several times.

Shadow Bakura pulled out a knife and drew it against Ryou's skin causing him to scream. "Enough! Leave him alone! Get out of my head!" Bakura screamed. Finally, Shadow Bakura threw Ryou on the floor, and the Shadow left Bakura. Bakura fell to the floor and was crying. Ryou pulled his legs to his chest, crying even worse completely terrified. Bakura got up and ran out of the room. Ryou looked at the cut, seeing it said weak acrossed his arm. He cried worse. What had just happened? Bakura seemed to be a little nice earlier, and he had never been like that. He seemed crazy and wild. Ryou thought he could hear crashes and more crying, but he stayed right where he was all huddled up. The door was smashed to pieces. How could someone have that much power? Something was wrong, but Ryou didn't have the courage to ask. He could see Bakura coming back up, his eyes and face red as though he cried for an hour. Ryou pulled himself together even tighter, and Bakura flinched and Ryou thought he could see more tears welling in Bakura's eyes. He cleaned up the pieces of the door and left again. He didn't return again until he had a brand new door.
