Beauty Within Darkness
By: Oneos Pitri
Chapter 1
“Chihi Uchi, ma ni ono, das ta, Haro minu dashi oino.”
Blue lights swirlled around the three boys, sitting in the middle of a large room, decorated in reds and oranges. Large wooden doors on one side of the room, carved in, scenes from Jesus' life. On the other side of the room, stood tall, beautifully carved cross. Dark blue ceiling loomed over them, like a night sky. The rounded walls, held paintings. Paintings of the three boys, currently sitting in the middle of the room and chanting. One painting though, was different. It showed the three boys and two other people, standing behind the couch, the trio was sitting on. A golden plate, under the painting read: In the loving memory of Harriet and William Bakura.
The chanting stopped and the blue light disappeared. The white haired boy was the first one to open his eyes. “All right. We should get ready. We are leaving soon.” He said getting up and walking to the door. “Ryou!” Called the smaller, tri color haired boy. “Are you sure you are okay?” Ryou turned around, a look of pure confusion on his face, soon broken into a smile. “I'm all right Yugi, thank you for asking though. I think I will go take a shower before the breakfest. You should get ready as well.” With that Ryou left the chapel.
The pale blonde got up with a sigh, when his youngest brother left. “Well then, let's go Yugi. I cannot wait to see the infamous Bran castle.” He smiled at his younger brother, as Yugi beamed and started bablling about `how he is going to make friends there'. Malik slapped his hand to his forehead. “Yug, I swear, sometimes I wonder why you even are an exorcist.”
Yugi blinked and stopped chattering. “Why dear brother. I am an exorcist, because it is my duty as a Bakura.” Malik tapped his chin. “Well you do have a point. Anyway, I'll see you at breakfest.” Yugi nodded and went his room.
The dining hall was filled with aromas, as food was braught in and placed on the big, mahogany table, which at, sat five people only.
“So, how was your night, gentlemen?” Ryou asked, taking a sip of his wine. “Not bad, not bad at all, but right now, I think we should disscus our trip to Bran castle, don't you?” Said the brown haired man, sitting on the opposite of Ryou.
Malik nodded. “Yes, so how are we going to get there?” Honda chuckled. “You shall ride a carriage. Me and my comrade will ride a horse and lead you there.” Malik nodded and got back to eating.
Ryou spoke up. “What shall happen to the carriage and the driver, once we are there?” His voice low and suspicious. “You have nothing to worry about, Ryou.” Said the black haired male on Honda's right. “I see. Thank you Otogi.” Was the only response, as the diners fell silent again.
Ryou was peacefully sleeping in the carriage, when his oldest shook him awake. “Finally decided to join us?” Ryou frowned. “Oh, do be quiet.” Malik chuckled. “Wake up sleepy head. We are here.” Ryou blinked, then covered a huge yawn with his hand. “Are we now?” Malik nodded and proceded to wake Yugi.
Malik and Yugi were awed by the enormousity of the Bran castle. It was so different than their own back in Blaj. Beautiful gothic architecture looked down on them, from it's hill above the village they were driving through. The village, was Bran village, thus the castle's name.
Ryou noticed there was so much life in the village, considering it was right next to Dracul's Castle. He didn't see any signs of the village being tormented by the vampires, which was rather odd and it wasn't a vampire village, either. Ryou sighed and turned his attention to the castle, as they entered the woods.
Ryou sighed for the fifth time within an hour, as the carriage finally stopped and him and his brothers were led towards the large wooden door to, what he assumed, would be a hall full of blood-suckers. Instead, it was empty. White walls and rich red carpets covered the room, lots of portraits and armours, pottery.
The servant stopped in the middle of the room. “You are to wait here sirs. Lord Yami, Bakura and Marik will be here shortly.” Malik's eyes widened. “Wait. So there is another brother?” Servant nodded, smiling. “Yes, though I am not surprised you do not know of him. You will have to wait and see, as I am not to tell you too much. Good day.” And the servant vanished from sight.
Ryou then noticed one showcase that held something. This something was a necklace. He examined the beautiful ruby gems, melted into a gold frame. It was more of a chocker with black satin bow and another one at the front holding a red drop of water. It was stunning.
“Beautiful isn't it?” He jumped at the voice behind him. He sharply turned around and met dark red, brown eyes. He gasped, as he felt a hand on his shoulder.
He brushed the hand away. “Don't touch me.” He hissed at the taller, white haired boy, who smiled slyly at him.
Ryou's brothers walked up to the duo, looking from one to the other. “You look the same. How come?” Asked Yugi, amazment in his eyes. Ryou frowned at his brothers words. Indeed, the man looked like an older version of him.
Mwahahahahaha! Evil cliffhanger! Anyways I didn't feel like continuing this chappie and I had no idea what to write, so... yeah, but next one will be better, I swear.
