Geez, Bakura is sadistic..
But this was really good! They were both IC and the whole situation seemed plausible.
Nice work. ^^

Oh. My. GOSH! This was FANTASTIC! I really liked how you portrayed both of their characters, and you nailed their personalities…
Poor Ryou…
Why is it that even though we love him, we like to see him suffer so? ^_^

FDSLAKJSDFKL.

Let me take a moment to be coherent. ... Okay that was just amazing. I mean, I could try to say something meaningful and insightful but I can't. It's just this fic is made out of awesome. Bakura's sadism (and good god the dialogue was brilliant!) Ryou's memory...

Gosh. Just you and this fic.

(Eyes wet with tears, and a few roll out)

Leave him alone, dang you, Bakura! LEAVE HIM ALONE! You sadistic, no-good, horrid -! WHY!? WHY do you WANT others to go through the same thing as you?

(Eyes widen/Reminds self again) "But he's changed... he grows to care for his hikari, he's changed, he's going to change..."

(Angrily and protectively embraces Ryou Bakura)

(Whispers soothingly)

No... Ryou, you are worthy, you are strong, and you are one of the most angelic people to have been born on this earth. Never let anyone let you think otherwise... I don't care what he says.

(Glares viciously at the UNCHANGED Bakura--I'm referring to him BEFORE he reconciles with his hikari and becomes... somewhat... nice-er-ish...)

If you DARE touch him-!

(Whips out her wand and growls as menacingly and protectively as a Cullen)

(Sighs) I have to agree with Bakura on one thing--IF Ryou's father did that, IF--then he truly failed as a father.

Good job. Getting a good reaction, especially a strong one... translates into GOOD JOB!

Great fic, as always~ Bakura so evil, and... well, insane. I really liked the part where Ryou was arguing with Bakura about being forced to watch his family die. (He's such a meanie! Bakura, not Ryou.) Bakura's line was very interesting.
Anyway, very nice job... I "liked" it very much, even though I felt very sorry for Ryou...

Bakura is so evil and fun in this. It's awesome!

I can't decide if I love this, because Bakura is Amazing in a word. Or hate it becuase I want to CRY for RYOU! JK by the way. I would never hate your stories. How could I hate something I envy so much! You have amazing skill, and I'm not just saying this when I say that I really think that your writing often precedes my own.
I'm scared for Ryou. What does Bakura mean, "We're going to have fun tonight." I just want to snatch Ry-kun away from scary Kura-san. BAKURA WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN! Oh yeah, that's what makes you amazing. That and your good looks, haha. Ok, yeah, so I'm a little out of it because my cold has gone to my brain. So what. ANYWAYS! That was great. Awesome! Well done. ANd all those other fantastical compliments.

Your Cyber-Friend, Angel.

Evil ff.n...I don't remember what I said the first time!

Either way, it's just as eerie and awesome the second time around. Bakura still creeps me out with his idea of "justice" toward Ryou. He's only twisting around that word to suit his plans. And to do that with Ryou's memory, his mother and father, it makes me feel so sorry for him.

Congratulations on reaching 25 stories! Keep it up!

This is a work of angst-writing genius. You write fluidly, and I actually know what's going on! Bakura is so twisted. The title could not fit the story better.

My goodness! You undoubtedly have a talent for angsty, twisted fics. I love several of Bakura's lines. They are so incorrect, yet have demented truth to them. I pity Ryou emensely. The memory sequences were horrible - meaning they were incredibly sad! This was a wonderful fic~ Terrific job!
