Overabused
Part One: When will you come home?

Why are you always so set on breaking my heart?
Why can't you see how much I love you?
Why do your eyes always fall on someone else?
Why won't you realize he will never be yours?

Ryou sits at his apartment all alone. He has been sitting in his apartment all by himself for the last two weeks, waiting for Bakura to come back to him. This is not the first time Bakura left him waiting for a long period of time. Ryou looks out the window and sighs, "Bakura, where are you? It's gonna be Valentine tomorrow. I wish I can spend it with you."

The door opens and Bakura walks in. Ryou smiles and runs up to Bakura. "Welcome home! I missed you. Where had you been?" Ryou asks. Bakura picks Ryou up and throws Ryou to the bed. Without a word, Bakura sits on top of Ryou and rips off Ryou's clothes.

"No! Stop that! You're hurting me! No! don't do that! NO! STOP!" Ryou screams painfully on top of his lung as Bakura forces himself on Ryou.

"Shut Up!" Bakura slaps Ryou.

After about half an hour, Bakura kicks Ryou off the bed. "Get out of here, I need some peace and quiet. I want to be alone." Bakura orders Ryou before falling asleep. Ryou puts some clothes on his painful body and gets out of the house.

Bakura had failed to capture Yugi and take Yugi's soul again. Every time when that happen, Bakura will be really upset and use Ryou as a punching bag. The beating is getting worse. Next time, Bakura will probably breaks an arm or a leg.

"And a couple of times later, Bakura will probably kill me." Ryou sighs. He wobbles along the street depressed, not noticing he is walking across the street that has a red light posted. A truck is speeding down the street. When the driver sees Bakura it's too late to stop.

"Get out of the way, kid!" The driver shouts to Bakura, but the boy is too weak and wounded to run. Just before the truck hits Bakura, someone runs out of the street, grabs him and jumps away from the truck.

"Joey!" Ryou looks up and sees it's Joey who saved him.

"Bakura! Are you okay?" someone asks with concern. Ryou sighs. The last person on earth he wants to see is calling him.

"Yes, I'm fine. Yugi. Thank you for asking." Ryou answers to Yugi, who is running up to him. Ryou doesn't hate Yugi. Yugi is a kind and loving person. There is another reason why Ryou doesn't want to see Yugi.

Earlier when Bakura forced himself onto Ryou, Bakura was screaming Yugi's name. "you're mine, Yugi! I'm gonna make you mine if it's the last thing I do on earth!" Bakura screamed the whole time he forced his way on Ryou. Bakura used Ryou as a punching bag to relief his anger on Yugi; and seeing Yugi right now really add to Ryou's pain.

"You okay?" Joey asks Ryou. The silver-hair boy nods. Yugi helps Ryou up.

"Let's get you home." Yugi says to Ryou.

"No, I can't go home. Bakura said he wanted to be alone and asked me to get out of the apartment." Ryou says.

"It's not Bakura's apartment! It's YOURS apartment! You can go in and out as you please!" Joey reminds Ryou.

"What happened to you, Ryou? Did Bakura hit you again?" Yugi frowns. The petite boy notices that Ryou is covered with bruises and scratches.

"No, I fell down the stairs and hurt myself." Ryou smiles.

"Don't lie to us, Ryou! That jerk hit you again, did he? I'm going to give him a piece of my mine! He is going to have a date with my fist and my boot!" Joey shouts madly as he heads to Ryou's apartment.

"Joey! Please don't! don't hurt him!" Ryou cries.

"Ryou, I'm sorry. Bakura must be taking his anger out on you because of me." Yugi sighs.

"Ryou, you can't let Bakura keep doing this to you! This has to stop!" Joey says.

"He is just having a bad day. He can be really nice and kind if he wants to." Ryou defends his lover. Joey knows it's no use in continuing the conversation. Ryou will never leave Bakura. There is nothing in the world the blonde can say to make Ryou change his mind.

"How about we go to my place get you wrap up?" Yugi offers Ryou. The three boys go back to Yugi's game shop and gets to the petite boy's room.

"Have a seat at the bed. I will go get the first aid kit." Yugi says to Ryou. The petite boy leaves the room. Joey sits down on the floor and looks at Ryou, who is still standing. The blonde knows Ryou's bottom is probably hurting too much to be sitting on.

"Bakura hurts you pretty bad, did he? Here, take this." Joey says as he gives Ryou a bottle of pills.

"What's this?" Ryou asks.

"It's painkiller. One pill will make your whole body goes lump. Then you will not feel the pain." Joey explains. Ryou takes one pill and give the bottle back to Joey.

"Don't worry about it. You keep it. Take it when the pain comes back." Joey says. Yugi comes back with the first aid kit and starts cleaning up Ryou's wounds.

"There, is that better?" Yugi asks after he wraps up Ryou. The silver hair boy nods and says, "Yeah, it's wonderful. Thanks."

"You want to get some rest here? You can use my bed." Yugi says to Ryou.

"It's okay. I want to take a walk. I have been staying home for weeks waiting for Bakura. It will be nice to get outside." Ryou answers.

"Where will you like to go?" Yugi asks.

"I don't know." Ryou says. He is trying to think what he wants to do when his stomach starts grouching.

"How about we go to the mall. There is a lot of eating places for you to choose from. We can probably find something you like to do in one of the shops there, too." Joey suggests.

"Sounds great!" Ryou smiles.
