Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Ryou's life ❯ Chapter 1

" And its 6:45am people get ready cause another days up ahead, and in last nights game"-

Ryou shut off his alarm clock and drowsily awoke. He blinked his eyes abit to clear his vision, all he saw was his plain white walls and pearl sheets. His room had nothing but a bed, a single dresser and his closet. `This room is so plain, I hate waking up to it' thought ryou.

He got out of his bed and trudged over to his closet, he was not a morning person. He pulled on his usual sweater and faded jeans. He then quickly passed a brush through his soft pearl locks.

As he left his room he saw bakura's door shut

`He's asleep, good, though he's probly just sleeping off another hangover'

Ryou crept down the stairs with his backpack slung over his shoulder and quietly exited the house, he figured he could get some food at yugi's.

Ryou walked down a few blocks staring at the ground lost in his own thoughts. Soon he saw the sign KAME with a turtle over it. He entered the game shop to see yugi running around mumbling about his socks. "Yami have you seen my other sock…Oh hi ryou" "check under your bed little one" Yami replied as he entered the room giving ryou a wave.

Yugi's grandfather offered ryou some toast which he gladly excepted as jou and Honda walked in. "hey guys sorry were late but JOU had to be slow" "Wha… you lyin piece of crap, Honda"! "come now we can settle this later…were going to be late" Ryou said with a chuckle " oh my your right…Bye grandpa"!! Said Yugi as he ran out the door.

"Uh…. I forgot my shoes" yugi said sheepishly as he reentered the game shop, we all couldn't help but smile at the short teen.

As we all went to our lockers (which were conveniently close) we got out the books we would need, I shared a locker with yugi. Jou and Honda shared a locker, malik and marik shared a locker and every one else had there own.

"We have English first right ryou…uh ryou, earth to ryou" "huh… oh yes I suppose we do yugi" "um ryou are you ok" "I'm fine yugi" "but you" "we have to get to class no time for chitchat". With that ryou went to his English class along with the rest of the gang who all had the same classes.

"Take your seats class I have to take attendance," said Mr. hagashi. Ryou took his usual seat 3 rows from the back right next to the window with yugi on his left side. " Now class we will continue our lesson on the book `the outsiders'", Mr. hagashi rambled on about the book while ryou found himself slipping into his own world.

-------------------------------------Ryous flash backs------------------------------------------

"Damn it how could you fuck this up, it's so simple. Only a baka like you could do this, you pathetic weakling" Ryou remembered the crashing of one of his father's favorite vases as he bumped into one of the coffee thanks to one of bakura's blows to his chest. "You fucking no good whore look what you've done now! Gods why do I get such a disgraceful and no good hikari? Even that bastard of a pharaoh has a better hikairi. Ryou still remembered the beating he received for his `fuck up' as Bakura called it. A few weeks ago he had to lie to Yugi several times so he wouldn't get suspicious about him having a cracked rib and a sprained ankle. Bakura's words still constantly rang in his head about him being `pathetic, no good, worthless, a slut, disgrace, stupid, a whore ECT.' He had just recently healed from the harsh beating of the past weeks. It still hurt a little but not as much.

-------------------------------------------------End----------- ------------------------------------------

"Ryou, ryou snap out of it" " huh"

Ryou was pulled out of his thoughts by yugi. " Oh forgive me ryou I didn't know my class was so boring, though I'm sure you could make it more interesting by telling us what role ponyboy plays in the book" questioned Mr. Hagashi "um…I" " he's the main character, a greaser and the middle child of 3" yelled out yugi "hmph, Mr. Moto I called on ryou but even so you are correct"

Yugi gave ryou a worried look ` this isn't at all like him, ryou is usually smarter then me, he should of known the answer with no hesitation'

Ryou gave yugi a faint smile that showed he appreciated the assistance yugi gave him. Yugi gave an unsure nod; he was still worried about ryou's behavior lately.

They all moved onto geography, were ryou sat in the 2nd to last row with yugi diagonally ahead of him with the others sitting next to each other in the row ahead. Ryou was once again next to a window. The sun was shining brightly, with clear blue skies, anyone would of thought it was beautiful and enchanting, but not him. He couldn't see the beauty of it; in fact the most he felt was annoyance.

A letter then fell on his desk; he picked it up and read

`Its ugly isn't it'

Ryou was confused, no one ever sent him notes, maybe rarely Honda if he needed answers that yugi wouldn't give him but neither sat behind him.

He turned his head to see who sent it and his eyes met two cold glaring eyes. It was Chaotica, a delinquent who spent 2 years in juvy and 1 year in a mental institution. She was beautiful, except she hardly ever talked unless to curse a person out or to insult someone. She had started more fights then ryou could count and won all of them. She had pitch-black hair with thick silver and red highlights. She was just about yugi's height, and was considered the hottest and badest girl of domino. She was considered hot because everything about her was just beautiful and she was nicely over grown when it came to the T&A department

Ryou turned back around, what was he supposes to write? He took out a pen and in his neat elegant writing his scribbled down `are you talking about the sun?' he passed it to her. He quickly received the note back

-` Yes, is it or is it not beautiful'

-'Well actually, I think it is ugly why do you ask'

-'You had a look on your face so I figured you didn't like it. I think its ugly too; all it -dose is give me headaches'

- `Wow it dose the same for me'

-'Ha, I never thought you'd be the type, I figured you'd be the one to go run around like an idiot singing'

-`no Honda or jou usually dose that'

` you got jokes'

-` no it's the truth, they really do that'

Ryou saw chaotica smile from the corner of his eye, though her smile was not happy, it looked like a psychotic smile.

-` anyways the bells bout to ring we'd better get ready'

ryou quickly shoved the note in his pocket and just then the bell did ring just as Chaotica had written down.

Ryou and the gang walked down the hall, ready to go to the cafeteria for lunch. Everyone was talking. Malik was trying to tell marik that it was good he got a new clothing style but he asked if he had to look like a thug. Duke and serenity were talking about god knows what while every one else was complaining about a test they had next week. Ryou's thoughts kept going back to geography ` why did she write to me? Shes never social, NEVER, so why write to me?' maybe he was just making a big deal over a small note, he had to relax.

They all sat at there usual table. Yugi noticed ryou was lost in his thoughts yet again and figured now was as good a time as any to talk to him. Just when he went to talk to him though, ryou got up and practically ran to the other side of the cafeteria.

Ryou had spotted chaotica and quickly ran to her.

He grabbed her shoulder and she quickly turned around with a stone gaze, though when she saw ryou she somewhat lightened her expression. He took his hand off her shoulder than spoke " um hello". Chaotica just stared at him. "Im ryou" "I know who you are, I was just writing to you not to long ago". Her voice was low and had an insane yet seductive tone. " Oh yes, well that's why im here, you see I was curious to know as to why you wrote to me." Chaotica stood silent as if thinking of what to say.

" I don't know why I wrote to you, perhaps I was simply bored" "oh" said ryou with some disappointment. "But hey listen, your alright, I thought you'd be all preppy and what not" "me preppy…no I can't smile enough to be called preppy" "you can't" "no…I don't know why I just, can't" "hm… hey ryou what are you doing tomorrow" "well, I, um, im staying home I suppose" "really, do you wanna go to the mall with me?" "Me, go to the mall with you" "I believe that's what I just said" "I, I think that would be wonderful but my, um… `Friend' wouldn't allow it" "I see, well if you change your mind tell me" with that chaotica slipped him a piece of paper and went out the cafeteria door.

Ryou just starred for a while, in disbelief that the feared Chaotica of domino city high school just talked to him. He slowly made his way back to the table were everyone had seen him talk to Chaotica and they all were asking questions

"Did she try to mug you for your money" asked Honda

"Dose she really put a hex on you if you talk to her" questioned serenity

"How dose it feel to talk to the hottest and craziest babe in school," asked jou

"She is REALLY hot "stated marik

Ryou was not paying attention to any of them

"Hey what's in his hand?" asked malik

"Lets see" with that marik pried ryous fingers off of the piece of paper Chaotica had given him. He try'd to snatch it back but it was too late. Marik starred at ryou in shock, everyone crowded around marik to see the paper and they all to fell silent. The silence was broken by jou's whining " YOU GOT HER NUMBER, BUT HOW" Jou sobbed for awhile before regaining his composure " look its none of your business" said ryou hotly as he snatched the paper away and left the lunch room.

For the rest of the day he ignored the whole group, which made yugi incredibly depressed. Chaotica wasn't in any of the other classes; Ryou suspected she skipped after lunch.

As school ended ryou walked home. Yugi usually walked with him since they lived in the same direction as one another, though today was different. As yugi walked with ryou there was an unsettling silence. It came to a point that yugi just couldn't take it anymore, "ryou please don't be mad at us, please don't be mad at me"

Ryou said nothing "ryou we didn't mean to take the paper away, we didn't know it was, you know…private" ryou was growing frustrated. Ryou got mad easily, he just knew how to hide it from people, which made everyone think he was a sweet angel.

"Look yugi, it was obvious it was not for you guys to see, if I wanted you to see it I would of shown you and not keep it in my hand". Yugi was about to talk but was surprisingly cut off by ryou. "And another thing you make it sound like I go out with her! You act as if I can't make friends! You know yugi I can have other friends besides you guys, believe it or not the sweet quiet boy has other friends!" snapped ryou angrily. Yugi stayed silent in pure shock.

As they came to the street were yugi and ryou would go there separate ways, yugi turned around. It was like an unwritten tradition that when they separated ryou would wave at yugi. It was a minor tradition but it meant a lot to yugi, and when he saw ryou's back turned toward him, he knew he would receive no wave. Apart of yugi cracked as he watched ryou disappear, he felt that in just one day because of one minor mistake, he was losing his only true friend.

`Maybe I shouldn't of been so harsh on yugi and the gang. I mean it was only paper and it's not there fault there curious, but still they should of known to stay out of things that didn't concern them. Maybe I should apologize? NO, I always apologize let them for once take the blame' thought ryou as he neared his house.

He soon walked up the driveway to the front door of his house. His house was white with a black door and shudders. He stared at the door, afraid to see what was on the other side. Was Bakura awake waiting for him, was he asleep, was he even in the house. Ryou let out a sigh; he supposed he would never know until he entered. Right before he entered he amused himself by thinking `afraid to go into my own house, what power I have over my life'.

He slowly turned the knob and pushed the door in. the light of day spilled into the darkened house. Ryou entered slowly. There was no sign of bakura; perhaps he was already at some bar getting drunk off his ass again. He removed his shoes then closed the door and stepped into the living room.

With the door closed the house was a lot darker. There was a stale sent and beer bottles were covering the floor, some empty others half gone. His house was a depressing site to see.

He observed Bakuras mess of beer cans as he spoke to himself "Bakura, that lazy bastard, he could at least clean up after himself, damn baka"

"Oh…so I'm a baka am I?"

Ryou froze at the sound of bakura's voice. How could he be so stupid, he should of checked the house before running his mouth.

"Well ryou, is there anything else you want to say? Please do tell I'm all ears" Bakuras words were dripping with sarcasm and venom.

"g-gomen bakura, I just"-

Before ryou could finish his sentence bakura hit him with a power full blow from behind as he stepped from the shadows.

Ryou let out a soft whimper as he hit the floor. He barley had time to brake the fall with his hands. "You insignificant little bitch! I always knew you had a mouth, too bad you only use it when you think I'm not around". Ryou got up to his feet and looked Bakura right in the eye, Ryou's eyes were full of fear and anger.

"What's wrong little ryou" bakura cooed in a unsettling voice "dose someone need a hug? Well to fucking bad!" Bakura quickly hit ryou in the stomach. Ryou fell huddled on the floor, but before he could regain his breath, Bakura sent a hard kick to his stomach. Ryou's eyes widened in shock as he rolled over in pain. He began heaving trying once again to regain his breath.

Ryou heard bakura's footsteps coming closer to were he was lying helplessly. "Sweet little Ryou, why do you always have to fuck up? You know what really pisses me off and yet, you continue with your disrespect, knowing you will be punished for it" said Bakura with a soft and menacing voice.

"Now Ryou, I'll give you a chance to beg for forgiveness. Just say `Bakura-sama I was wrong, I should have never angered you. I should have lived my own pathetic and meaningless life without interfering in yours. Infact I should have never been born, forgive me for my faults Bakura-sama."

Ryou felt helpless and he knew he was. He did not want to say those words and let bakura win again. To many times has bakura made ryou beg for forgiveness or for Bakura to stop, but if he didn't say it word for word, he knew bakura would beat him senseless.

"Hn, you're taking to long whore! Perhaps I have to show you the consequence of your rebellion."

Bakura lifted his foot then slammed it down on poor Ryou. He kept repeating this harsh action, making Ryou cry out in pure pain, which only made Bakura smile and just put more power into his stomps.

`Why doesn't he just get it over with. He might as well just kill me, but I know he won't, not yet at least. But if I can't die then at least let me lose conciseness. This all hurts to much.'

"Come now little Ryou, just say the words and this will all stop. Or do you like the pain? I knew you had a naughty side"

Ryou cried out in pain again. Ryou couldn't take much more; Bakura was purposely missing his ribs and hitting his stomach making it impossible to breath.

What happened after Ryou could only guess. He supposed That before he blacked out he must of pleaded with bakura because bakura stopped beating him, if Ryou hadn't said the words he would of still beaten him weather he was conscious or not so it was obvious he had given in and pleaded yet again.

*************************************************************** ******

Ryou woke up the next morning at 11:15 according to his clock. He was in his room with the covers on and everything as if nothing had happened. He threw the sheets off to see that he was still dressed sneakers and all.

He would hate it if bakura had changed him, he knew the sick mind Bakura had and he had fallen victim too so many of his twisted games.

Ryou went to the closet and got some fresh clothes then headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

*************************************************************** ******

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Bakura heard Ryou's screams coming from the bathroom.

`Hm…he must of found the present I left him, I hope he enjoys it' though Bakura smugly.
*************************************************************** ******

Ryou looked at his body in the mirror. He had just finished screaming the hell out of his lungs. He was hyperventilating from the sight before him.

Ryou's entire stomach and some of his chest were completely unrecognizable. His chest and stomach had turned a sickening purplish-black from the bruises of his previous beatings. His bruises stuck out bad against his pale and smooth skin.

After a few minuets of starring at his battered body he turned on the shower and stepped in. He hissed in pure agonizing pain as the cool water hit his bruised body. He leaned against the shower wall letting the water painfully hit him. He took a few minuets to catch his breath and to try his best to adjust to the pain.

Once he finished his shower, he went to his room with a towel around his waist and clothes in his hand. He threw his clothes on the ground, and then carefully he laid himself on the bed. He stared at the ceiling lost in thought. He was unsure what to do; everything seemed to be falling around him. Ryou closed his eyes and stared at the blackness of his eyelids, but just as suddenly as he closed his eyes he opened them and ran to the pile of clothes he was just wearing. He searched threw his jean pockets and found the piece of paper that Chaotica had given him.

He went to the guest room were Bakura slept and crept in to use his phone. He carefully dialed the number and waited, on the second ring she picked up.

"What?"

"Is this Chaotica?"

"No, I'm just someone who jacked her for her cell phone… of course this is her now make it quick"

"Um…hi this is ryou and you told me to call you if I changed my mind."

"Hn…so I did, but didn't you say something about a friend not liking the idea of you going to the mall?"

"I don't care what that fucking bastard has to say, I'll do what I want"

"I see…well then I'll pick you up if you want, were do you live?"

"Um…my house is a mess, how bout you pick me up at the pizzeria down the street from the game shop"

"Sounds fine with me I'll be there in a half an hour"

"Bye Chaotica"

"Hn, bye"

Ryou put the phone back then hurried to his room to get dressed (seeing as he was still in his towel) and to brush his hair.

Ryou opened his window and before he climbed down he looked at is door, and for once he wasn't scared that Bakura would beat him when he found out he was gone. In fact he couldn't wait to see his face when his day was over.

And so he climbed down from his second floor room and as soon as his feet hit the ground he bolted down the street toward the pizzeria.

This is my first chappie ever so plz have pitty and don't flame me!! I know its not that good sorry.
