Part Two: I'm with you
*I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now.*
I walk wearily down an empty street toward Domino Bridge. It was a quiet, cold, and eerie night. It had started raining fiercely and I was already soaked. The state of my surroundings seemed to go perfectly with my mood. For some reason not a soul was seen out; just me and the howling wind. I didn't even see a car pass as I made my way to the usually busy bridge. Maybe I was meant to die alone.
I walked on the small sidewalk of the bridge toward the very center. The bridge was built over a once beautiful river that was now a sludge filled body of water deprived of its natural beauty by years of pollution. I was sure I had seen something white following me but I brushed it off as my hopeful imagination. I climbed the steel bar and positioned myself standing over what would be my grave.
It had taken me quite a few days to plan my ending. I had to make sure I wan't followed or stopped. I left a note for Bakura. He was out drinking so by the time he saw the note I would be long gone. The entire time I planned a part of me wanted to live; a small part wanted to keep hoping and praying that everything would turn out okay. But now it is too late. I'm already here and no one can stop me.
My thoughts drift to Bakura yet again. As a Yami it's his job to protect me and make sure no harm is done to me. Instead he causes harm to me and takes pleasure in watching me suffer. That small part of me I told you about was hoping Bakura would come and stop me before I could commit this terrible deed. It was hoping he would come and admit his love for me. Yet another bunch of bullshit thoughts.
*There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound.*
The rain was starting to get to me. It was getting harder and it started to sting my skin. I sneezed three times in a row, knowing that if I stayed any longer I'd get hypothermia. I thought about Yugi and my other friends, all oblivious to what I was going to do. They were the only people I had gotten close to. The only ones I knew care about me. I strained my ears to hear over the pelting rain and the harsh wind and heard nothing.
*Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?*
Nobody will stop me. No one can. 'Maybe Bakura will come,' my inner hope thought. I laughed at my pathetic thought. Bullshit yet again.
I closed my eyes and was about to jump when I felt something rubbing against my leg. I let out a small gasp and looked down. I was a little stupified by what I saw. A small white cat, totally dry, with innocent brown eyes. I stared at it for awhile. Here I was hoping to end my life and I was stopped by a cat?! I unconciously picked up the surprisingly dry animal and sat on the ledge with it perched on my lap. It was purring contently.
For some reasons all intentions of suicide slipped my mind as the cat stood up and sat across from me. In a brilliant flash of light the cat dissapeared and in it's place was a young woman, no older than 19. She had long off-white hair that became spiked at the end. She wore a white dress that flowed pass her feet with sleeves that hid her hands. She resembled someone I have known before...
"Bakura Ryou," she said calmly.
I nodded dumbly.
She smiled, "Take my hand."
I felt a complete trust for this girl and took her pale hand without question.
*It's a damn cold night!
Trying to figure out this life!
Won't you take me by the hand? Take me somewhere new.
I don't know who you are but I...
I'm with you...*
She had a strange white glow to her; it made her look like an angel. She pulled me into her arms and I laid my head on her chest. I was enveloped in a warm light that seem to destroy all of the feelings of loss I had felt the past few weeks. Although the pain lingered the awareness of it was gone. She cupped my chin and raised my face to look at her.
"Ryou, you cannot die now. Bakura needs you more than you think," her voice has a rich British accent.
I keep completely still, not sure how to answer the mysterious angel.
*I'm looking for a place.
I'm searching for a face.
Is anybody here? I know.
'Cause nothing is going right
And everythings a mess
And no one likes to be alone...*
'Bakura?' I thought. This was confusing me way below the point of understanding. The girl...so familiar yet I never met her before in my life. I racked my brain to see if I could pinpoint her face but came up with a blank. Why is this happening to me?! I didn't ask for this to happen. If it weren't for this woman I would have accomlished what I came to do.
For a moment her presense flickered from solid to transparent. When this happen she seemed to panic, but only for a moment.
"Ryou, if you truly love Bakura, you wouldn't do this to yourself. You should confront him. His responce might not be what you think," she said with a playful smirk.
I smiled despite my mood. Her words confused me. What did she mean by his responce might not be what I think? Is she saying Bakura feels the same way? Impossible...right?
*Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night!
Trying to figure out this life!
Won't you take me by the hand? Take me somewhere new.
I don't know who you are but I
I'm with you...*
The women held me in her arms protectingly, almost like a mother would a child. I fell asleep in the arms of my angel only to be plagued with turmoil.
*Oh! Why is everthing so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind!
Yeah , yeah, yeah.*
~Dream sequence~
Darkness. All around me. No one cares about me. Bakura doesn't care. My friends won't mourn my lost for long. Who else do I have left to turn too? I am snapped from my angsty state by a strange glow a few yards away from me.
I stand up weakly and head toward the glint. Once I am a few feet away I see the light take the form of a picture frame; a bronze, old-fashioned picture frame. I reach over to pick it up and take a look when...
"Ryou!"
~End Dream~
"Ryou! Wake up!" I am awoken by the sound of my Yami's voice.
My eyes flutter open and I realize that I'm lying on my living room floor; no longer out in the rain with my white-haired angel.
"B-bakura?" I say weakly. My voice is scratchy and dry.
"Thank Ra you're ok!" he exclaimed before pulling my into a death grip hug.
I sustained my surprise and let out a muffled cough. Bakura let go with a small blush on his face (YG710: I know that's OOC.) I sneezed five times in a row, the last making me slide back a bit.
"So tired..." I said before passing out cold into my Yami's arms.
Bakura's POV (YG710: Very, very OOC. Yami: -_-; Obviously.)
I was scared for my Hikari when I found him on our front steps shivering though unconcious. I rushed him inside immediately and set him on the floor. He was so cold to the touch that it scared me. I was stripping him of his wet clothes when he awoke. He called for me quietly, obviously suffering from a fever. I embraced him full forced, so relieved that he was alive.
He was so frail, so ...weak. He was not supposed to be this way. My beatings were meant to strengthen him, not push him to the edge of suicide! I had come home early and saw the note he had left. I was out the door searching for him before the note hit the floor. When I had given up hope on my search and found him on the steps of our house I felt so relieved and yet scared at the same time.
I released Ryou immediately when heard him cough in my arms. He let out a row of sneezes before losing conciousness. As I lifted his unconcious body and laid him down on the couch i noticed how beautiful my hikari was even when sick. His innocent pale face framed by a mass of silky white hair along with those chocholate pools that were now closed in a deep sleep.
I brushed a lock of white hair out of his face as I leaned in and kissed his soft lips tenderly. I will tell him tonight. When he awakens I will tell my hikari I love him.
~Ryou's dream continued~
The darkness is back but this time it is not as dark as it was before. In the corner I see the glint of the gold picture. I am finally able to see it. It's a simple picture and one that I have seen before.
In the photograph there is a family of three; a male wearing sectacles with mid-back ,spiked, violet hair held in a ponytail, a smiling boy with long white spiked hair and brown eyes, and finally a young woman with sparkling brown eyes and long spike-tipped white hair who was holding the young boy lovingly.
I trace the image of the family, my family, as memories flooded back. My mother, she was my angel, she saved me.
I clutched the photograph tightly as I cried silently, consumed in my past memories.
After what felt like hours of me wallowing in self pity I felt someone hug me from behind.
"Ryou, why are you crying?" asked the soothing voice I now remembered.
"Mother...why did you leave?" I asked still crying as I leaned into my mother's loving embrace.
"I never left you Ryou. I have always watched over you and will continue for all eternity," she said calmly as she ran her glowing hand through my hair.
"Why did you stop me mother? If you would have just let me die I could be with you right now," I said as I wiped away my tears.
"It's not your time to go Ryou. Although your father hasn't always showed it, he cares about you deeply. When I left he was devastated and promised not to let anything happen to you. That's why he got you the Ring. How would he feel if he found out you had killed yourself? How would Bakura feel?" she answered.
Her words made sense and I asked nothing more as I enjoyed the feeling of my mother holding me...
~Back to reality~
She smiled as she watched the tow boys sleeping on the couch. Ryou was laying down sleeping peacefully and a similar boy had his head resting upon her Ryou's legs and was sleeping as well.
"May the light embrace the darkness for that is the fate of my son and his yami," the young women said before disapearing in a flash of white light.
*It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...*
