~NOTE~ Read author note at end of story! I need your help!

They don't need to know…Ryou said to himself slightly trembling as he put on his school clothes. He looked at his wrists, which were still slightly raw, his bones ached and he could hardly walk normally because his legs still had a numb feeling with them. He swallowed as he began to walk out the door and to school slowly so not to hurt himself more. He was happy that Bakura didn't come home that night, he would notice that something was wrong…Bakura had a gift for that sort of thing he could read people very well. Who knows what he would have done if he found Ryou like that, tear stained face, trembling, not to mention the bruised face he wouldn't do anything sensible at least as far as he knew Bakura wouldn't. Ryou wasn't surprised to see Joey absent, Joey knew that no matter what he always came to school so he obviously missed today on purpose. Ryou felt tears well up in his eyes at just the thought of Joey but he quickly pushed him out of his mind, getting his emotions under control.

Ryou didn't even know why he bothered coming to school everything seemed a blur he, couldn't concentrate, one of the teachers even sent him to the nurses office thinking he was sick. Ryou slowly walked home dragging his feet keeping his head down so no passerby could see his bruised face. He couldn't think of a way to get passed Bakura without him noticing the bruise, and then asking a sea of questions about where it came from. Ryou looked to his home for a second before shaking his head in defeat and walking to the park…where he could be alone. He sat on an isolated bench and drew his knees to his chest burying his face in them, and wept silently to himself until he had no more tears to shed. It grew colder and it grew darker and Ryou knew he had to go home sometime…Bakura would worry possibly even get angry with him. Not that that mattered anymore, Bakura could never hurt him in the way Joey did…not to mention Bakura would never even consider doing something like that to him…ever. Ryou reluctantly got up and started to walk home he kept his head down and eyes glued to the floor. As he crossed the street he heard some yell at him to look out as a car was coming straight at him he froze.

"Ryou!" Seto said as he tackled him back to the sidewalk the car barely missing them both.

"Ryou?" Seto repeated concerned "Are you okay, you weren't watching a thing you could have been kil…" He stopped noticing Ryou not even paying attention to him.

Ryou seemed dazed at that moment, like he didn't even know where he was.

"Ryou?" Seto asked again lifting his chin "What happened?" He asked gently touching his bruised face at which Ryou pulled back.

"Sorry…" He said softly barely audible even. "I'll be more careful." He said his voice almost cracking.

"Ryou wait…" Seto said grabbing one of his wrists

Ryou cried in pain, causing Seto to let go immediately and Ryou fall to the ground from trying to pull away form him instantly as he touched his wrist. Ryou was on the verge of tears and Seto could easily see how raw and bruised his wrists were as he held them and trembled on the ground.

"Oh god Ryou…What happened?" Seto asked concerned brining Ryou into a soft embrace trying to keep him from crying.

"I'm so tired…" Was all Ryou could manage before he fell unconscious in Setos arms.

Seto couldn't just leave Ryou there, and he didn't know what was wrong so he didn't know if taking Ryou home was a good idea. So Seto took Ryou home with him that night. He didn't know what Ryou had been through but he knew that the bruises had to extend his face and wrists and Seto removed his shirt. He revealed bruises on his back and stomach as if someone had beat him up…badly at that. At first Seto suspected Bakura but he had to finish checking him as he removed his pants and covered his mouth. The inside of his thighs were badly bruised and he was bleeding along with various bruises up and down his legs. Ryou had been raped…but by whom Seto couldn't figure out. Bakura was many things Seto didn't like, but he knew Bakura wasn't a rapist much less a rapist of his own Hikari. He thought of possible people that would do this but no one fit, not even the men that attacked him in the alley worked out. He sighed in defeat as he dressed and bandaged Ryou's various wounds and changed him into clean clothes before wrapping him up in a warm blanket and laying him to rest in his own bed as he took the chair beside the bed to keep watch over him.

I know this was a short chapter but deal with it, what else you going to do? I'm never really that bad with updates I at least do it ever other day, so it shouldn't be a long wait!

Once I'm finished with my two stories I'm going to start one where Ryou is an abused boy who is adopted by Yami and Bakura who own a business together but I cant think of a title, I want something different, not practical if you have any ideas please let me know! Yugi will be adopted as well!

PLEASE REVIEW!
