The Reason

I do not own the rights to Yu-gi-oh or Hoobastank music.

Ryou was asleep in his room. Bakura sat next to him, thinking, hating himself. He sighed, staring at his hands. The Millennium Ring around his neck gleamed faintly in the moonlight. He watched his hikari sleeping peacefully, his face illuminated by the moon shining through the opened window.

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

Bakura sighed. He folded his hands in his lap and wished he could erase the past, that he could undo everything he had done to Ryou.

I've found a reason for me
to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you

Bakura wished he could erase Ryou’s pain, that he could remove Ryou’s scars. Not physical scars. Emotional scars. He hated himself for all the times he had sent Ryou to the Shadow Realm.

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That’s why I need you to hear

Bakura sighed and turned to look out of the window.

I've found a reason for me
to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you

Bakura looked at the moon. It reminded him of Ryou somehow, perhaps because it was a bright circle of hikari in the darkness, like Ryou was for him.

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

Bakura smiled and turned away from the window. He stroked Ryou’s soft white hair.

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

“Sweet dreams, Ryou. I love you.” Bakura whispered before he, too closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
