The chapters are short for a reason.

Ryou paused in the doorway of his house. Something seemed out of place. Nothing was missing. Something that hadn't been there before was now. He could feel it.

"Ryou?" Yugi touched his friends arm gently. "Is something wrong?"

"No. Nothing's wrong." He smiled. "Come on."

Yugi nodded and followed him up the stairs to his room.

"Not many people..." he trailed off as shock set it.

The figure sitting on his bed smiled. "You aren't going to faint again are you Ryou?"

"Who are you?"

Blue eyes moved to the boy standing with Ryou. "Someone from the past. Who are you?"

"Yugi."

"Well Yugi thank you for seeing Ryou home safely. Feel free to leave now."

And with that a very stunned Yugi found himself being ushered down the stairs and out the door.

Ryou stood by the bed silently knotting his hair in nervousness. He felt a gentle slap on his hand and instantly let it fall to his side.

"Always so good. That never changes. Look at me love. Beautiful. You always were. Even when you were screaming."

He desperately wanted to jerk away from the cool touch but something in his mind had caused his body to freeze up. Some would call it fear. Others, lust.

"Still strong I see. These bruises. You gave them to you?"

Oh so calm. Always so damn calm about everything. "No one. I fell. I'm..."

"Just clumsy I guess." A small smile found it's way to full lips. "You've told me that before."

"It's the truth" Ryou said a bit too forcefully. 'It's going to hurt now. He knows which words make it hurt worse than if he were to take that damn blade of his and twist it into my heart.'

"You don't love me anymore. After everything I did for you. After everything I gave you. Now this. I came so far just to see you again Darkling."

That nickname again. He had always found it funny to call the albino boy darkling. He said it made him endearing. Ryou clenched his fists until the nails cut into his palm drawing blood.

"I want to know."

"Know what?" As if he didn't already know.

"What your blood looks like. I hear it gets lighter with age. You always had interesting blood" a dreamy tone entered the voice. "So dark. Almost black. Interesting."

"Hypnotic."

"Yes." The other boy moved closer coaxing Ryou's fists open and lapping at the blood. "You taste good. All of you. That boy..."

"Yugi isn't part of this." It sounded weak even to him.

"You want him. That makes him part of it. Has he tasted you yet?"

"Please."

"What? Please leave? Please stay? Please do it again?" He smirked. "You always begged for so many things love."

"Leave Yugi alone. I don't want him hurt."

A false pout crosses the others face. "I never hurt you did I?"

Always. Never. What did it matter? Like the saying went some things never change. "I promise I'll let you do whatever you want just don't..."He shuddered as the tongue made it's way up his arm. "Don't..."

"Don't what? Really darkling you must work on this habit of ending in the middle of a sentence."

"Please don't hurt Yugi." Soft kisses against his neck was the only answer. "He didn't do anything."

"He's innocent. Not like you and me."

"Nothing like us"Ryou confirmed tilting his head to give the boy more room. "I love him."

"You loved me once too." Lips brushed lips. "Once upon a time. But I guess in the real world there's no such thing as happily ever after is there."

"I would of given up everything."

"You wouldn't of. You couldn't. You can't handle the kind of love that you need. It's sad really. My poor darkling. Knowing hat could make him whole again and yet denying it with every fiber of his being."

Ryou parted his lips as the boy kissed him again. With a restless moan he began to grind their hips together. 'So close.'

"Not now little Ryou"the figure whispered backing away. "Soon though. I'll let your little Yugi have you for now. Still when you find out that he can't love you the same way I can let me know."

"But..."

"I'll find you when you need me. I always do."

Ryou sunk to the floor as the boy left. The sound of the door closing tore his heart in half. "He's back. I waited so long and now he's back. I can't do this. It almost killed me last time."

~flashback~

"Just one more darkling."

"I can't. I feel weird. Like I'm...everything's just..."

"You want to let go?"

"Yes."

"Then do it. Let go of everything. Make it all go away. Find that dark place you know is there and hide until the world is gone. No one will have to know. No one will have to care."

"But my father..."

A soothing kiss against his fevered brow. "He doesn't care darkling. He doesn't' understand you. He doesn't know what drives you to be like this. He lost the Ryou he knew a long time ago."

"I just wannna..."

"Die. You can love. It's all up to you in the end. Quit fighting it. The world will keep turning long after you and I have turned to dust. Just let it go. Let the world stop loving you."
~end of flashback~

He barley managed to stumble to the bathroom before throwing up. The memory of the small yellow and white pills still with him. He was tired. Just as he had been the night his lover had given him the handful of Meclizine and watched as he had swallowed one after the other.

"Yami why didn't you stop him today?"

In his soul room Bakura frowned. His light was upset. Maybe it was time for another lesson.

/Yami! It hurts! Make it stop!/

//Ryou? What...//

/Make it stop!/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes that's all again. I'm in a bad mood therefore poor Ryou must suffer. Only one way to end his pain...yep that's right be nice to me and pretend to like this weird ass crap.
