This is not my fic, you do not need to know the circumstances as to why.

My friend KSistern will take over now. -IfritDemon666

hello guys, my dear little Ifrit corrected everything in this fic for me sooooooo BIG thanks to her and her endless patience.

(Ifrit: Damn right endless!)

oh shoosh you!

anyways, i was listening to Love The Way You Lie by eminem for the first time and this little piece popped into my head. i love it! poor little you cracks and shatters! oh and just cuz i can, Bakura can manifest a solid human form instead of just assaulting Ryou's mind. 3:D

Ryou shut the door to his apartment and trudged to the couch. School had been very difficult recently, Bakura just wouldn't let up with the mental abuse! He allowed himself to break down finally after a long day of suppressing screams.

"My God, just shut up and let me be!" screamed Ryou in frustration. The silverette gripped his head as if in agony. Bakura had been threatening all day to take over his body and murder his friends. He went into vile and vomit-inducing details for hours.

But I can't just do that, little Hikari. It's too much fun watching you squirm.

Ryou yanked at his hair for a moment, and then he mocked relaxation by sitting back on the furniture and laying his hands by his sides. It was something the light did often to deal with his Yami.

"Why can't you just let me be at school? Please, Bakura? Just at school," asked Ryou in an obviously feigned calm voice.

I can read your mind Hikari, that little façade will not work.

Ryou groaned in exasperation. He got up and went to the kitchen. Why? Why? Why? he thought bitterly as he pulled out a box of eggs from the fridge and grabbed a frying pan.

The gamer grabbed an egg and turned around to pull some plates from a cupboard across the room, then found himself face to face with his reflection's evil eyes.

"Gaahh! Bakura! How many times have I asked you not to do that?" the startled Brit stuttered. "Do you want some eggs as well?"

"You aren't listening to me Hikari. You keep asking why and I've already told you, my purpose at this moment is to torture you until you break," Bakura added emphasis at that last word. The sheer severity made Ryou wince. He dropped the egg he had been holding. Bakura smiled.

Time slowed for Ryou then, it seemed to take forever for the egg to reach the floor. Bakura roughly took hold of his long white hair and threw him to the ground. The smaller male whimpered and tried to crawl away.

Bakura walked across the room, checking all of the drawers after kicking Ryou's head harshly.

"You've been hiding the knives while I've been out again little Ryou, haven't you? Tell me where they are," Bakura ordered lightly.

"No! Not today! Don't do this!" shrieked Ryou in complete and utter fear.

"Ah ah ah, you are disobeying me again, Hikari! We have been through this before, NOW WHERE ARE THE FUCKING KNIVES!" he yelled in fury.

"No!" cried the younger one pitifully.

Bakura spoke in a mock gentle tone and slight amusement now. "How about we do it this way? Ryou, if you do not tell me where the knives are this instant I will mercilessly skin you alive with the nearest blunt object my hands grab."

Maniacal laughter followed this statement. Ryou started crying. There was a twisted and sadistic pleasure that Bakura derived from violence and rape, he couldn't stand it. It scared Ryou to no end and it was impossible for him to escape it.

Bakura had many a time taken over his body to do awful things. He had murdered everything between small children to old women. The police had no idea how to trace it to them; the murders were widely spread and varied immensely. Bakura killed with forks and knives to acids and poisons to just plain scaring people to death. The death count had risen to at least 8 people a month, that's 96 people a year!

"They're in the spices cabinet," the small silverette choked out between sobs.

"I just knew you would see things my way," the Yami mocked.

He walked to the cabinet. He didn't doubt his Tenshi's truthfulness at all, little Ryou knew better by now than to attempt that. Especially after last time...

"You know my Light; we are in the kitchen... Would you like me to utilize the burners?" he asked with sadistic grin. He had grabbed a small knife and started sharpening it, Ryou had done his best to keep them as blunt as possible but not quite useless.

"Nooooo," moaned Ryou. "Please, not like last time," he pleaded.

"You're right; we did do that recently, didn't we? It wouldn't be very original of me to do it again now would it? How about we stick with a theme and I shove spices in your glued open eyes while blowing pepper up your nose and shoving peeled garlic cloves in your ears? You are still allergic to garlic, right?"

Ryou whimpered. It was a cruel game Bakura played. It must be his version of foreplay because he enjoys it so much. Pretending that Ryou had a choice as to what would be, to what pain he had to endure. It didn't matter anyways; none of the options would make his agony any less. It wouldn't change the severity of his treatment.

"Are you ignoring me, little Tenshi?"

Ryou quickly shook his head back and forth. The last thing he wanted was to get this psychopath angry.

"Oh my dear sweet Ryou, I can read your mind and it has gotten you into a lot of trouble. Tsk, tsk, you'd think you'd know better by now but I guess not. Psychopath? How creative,"Bakura crooned. "I still have that ant farm in my room you know, the one from the six year old child you killed last week? Would you like it if I covered you in honey and dumped all of them on you? Hmmm?"

"No, I d-didn't kill-" the younger male was interrupted.

"BE QUIET, RYOU!" shouted the dark one. He threw a small cheese knife he had been holding at the student. It hit its mark dead on, the left side of Ryou's pelvis. He screamed in pain and fear, the knife had just barely missed his groin.

"You know what I did to that little boy last week Ryou, hmmm? Tell me what I did," commanded Bakura.

"Y-you killed *hiccup* him," he replied quietly.

"Strike 1, Tenshi!" Bakura grinned ear to ear and threw another small knife with deadly accuracy. This one landed on Ryou's right shoulder making that arm useless.

"Nnngnghhng," he was suppressing a pain-filled shout of sadness. "Ya-you, nghngh, stabbed him," guessed the immobile boy.

"Strike 2, my dear!" Bakura shouted before throwing a third knife that pierced Ryou's left knee.

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" screamed the whitette. He was rendered temporarily speechless.

"What was that, I didn't quite hear you there," said the Yami, preparing to throw another knife.

"No! *wheeze* Y-you *pant* r-r-raped h-him?" tried Ryou again tentatively. He could barely get the words out of his mouth he was in so much pain. Why hadn't he fallen unconscious? Surely he had lost enough blood.

"You know my power has no limits. I will keep you awake and breathing throughout this entire... Endeavor. Yet I have a feeling that you won't enjoy it quite as much as me," cackled the taller man.

Ryou was sort of worming his way to the kitchen entrance, he just wanted to get away. He was lying on his left side to keep the weight off of his right shoulder and was using his arm to claw at the once white tiled floor. It was stained black in several places with blood.

"Now, now, slow down Tenshi, I haven't finished marking you yet," laughed Bakura as he strode toward the frantic figure in front of him. There was no problem reaching his Hikari in this pitiful state.

The violent man walked towards the younger, crouching to grab his arm. He took hold of the bleeding man's right arm and stood up. Ryou screamed in anguish at having his shoulder wrenched back in such a careless manner. Bakura lifted him completely off the ground and threw him at the dining table. Ryou grunted in pain, it was the most he could do at the moment after so much abuse to his throat. He thumped to the floor on his knees.

"Agghghn," was the sound that came out of his mouth. The student fell to his side then rolled onto his back, wheezing. He halfheartedly reached his left hand to pull the knife out of his shoulder. He gripped the handle and pulled.

"Gnnnhnhnhnn!"

The sad thing is that these things happened all too often to Ryou. Maybe not as intense as this but he knew what to expect.

"Would you like to try something different today Ryou?" asked Bakura as he crouched down. He reached out to grasp Ryou's left ankle and pull the light to him. Ryou whimpered as he was dragged across the floor. Bakura flipped him onto his back.

"You see, I've been thinking. I've used knives all too often to punish you haven't I? What if we take a different approach? I think I will since you can't seem to stop crying long enough to answer me," said Bakura after a moment.

"W-What a-a-are you *gasp* gon-n-n-a do?" rasped Ryou.

"It's too bad that six year old died, Ryou, I'm sure he could have told you," a maniacal grin spread across Bakura's face.

Ryou's eyes widened. He knew all too well how much his darker half enjoyed rape, but he'd never gone so far as to take him.

"Let us have some fun, Ryou."

Ryou awoke the next morning. Soon after he discovered he couldn't move.

My, my, it seems Bakura tied me up. There's still a dagger in my knee as well. One arm one the left side of the headboard, one on the right. One foot on the left, one on the right... He was very thorough. He still won't let me die though. Does he know I'm missing school? Oh Wait! He can read my mind, can't he?

An insane smile spread from ear to ear on Ryou's face.

Bakura! Oh, Bakura! You hear me, right? You always hear me! Always, always! You never let me forget. Untie me now, Bakura. Wait! What's this? I hid the rope, didn't I?

Ryou looked up at his arms, then down at his legs.

Just as I suspected! You used the duck tape! Bakura! Bakura~!

Meanwhile, Bakura was doing a little thinking himself.

I did it! He's beginning to crack! His friends couldn't save him now, even if they'd cared in the first place! Life will be a lot more fun with my Yadunoshi!
