Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Chrysalis ❯ Guardians ( Chapter 7 )

Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-oh is the property of someone else. I can only humbly worship the artist.

Thank you for all the great reviews! This would probably never have seen the light of the internet without you!

The Domino City Park, that Yuai uses as a second home, is inspired in part by a program I watched "Japan: Under Cover" on TRIO, which was a great show, though a bit disturbing. I subtracted the dead bodies that seemed to litter that park, though. It was also inspired by a park near where I used to live that was so wild no one ever went into the back part because the drug dealers used it to grow their crops. I subtracted the drug dealers also. Yuai has enough problems without waking up next to someone hanging from a nearby tree or a gun wielding marijuana grower out to protect his cash flow.

Warning: Gratuitous lemon ahead! Yaoi!!!

Please R&R and enjoy!

Chapter Seven: Guardians

~*~*

Night- Yuai

~*~*

Yuai snuggled down into her new sleeping bag and smiled up at the roof of her new camouflage tent. She had finally saved enough money from baby sitting the Tanaka's three little girls to finally buy, not only her tent and sleeping bag at the Army Surplus Depot, but she had even been able to buy some winter clothes at Emerald Path Thrift. Tucked in the corner of her little pup tent inside a battered kaki knapsack was a small stack of warm clothes that would hopefully see her through the winter. There was even a package of new knee socks and a new pair of only slightly worn shoes.

The soft, warm, breezy weather of autumn was finally giving way to winter and sleeping under bushes in the far back of Domino City Park was becoming a truly chilling experience. She hadn't been back to her `home' for about a week, even then she had only snuck in when her parents were safely away, to grab her things and a bit of food from the frig.. Now all that she had was neatly folded in a bus station locker, or sitting in her new home.

She giggled and wiggled further down into the sleeping bag. For the first time since that social worker had shown up five months ago, she was safe. No night time visits from her father, no beatings, no sodden drunken fights between her parents, no poker games, not even her mother's sharp whining voice telling her how she had ruined their lives. She was free. She was safe. She even had friends. She had two friends and maybe that is why this time she knew she could make it.

For as long as she remembered, it had been only her and her parents. Every time someone, teacher, social worker, police, had gotten close enough to find out about her life, her family moved to another province, to another run down apartment with new name to hide behind. A new school, a new badly fitting uniform, a new set of teachers to keep secrets from, a new group of school bullies to run from, new friends of her father's to endure as they panted on top of her. It never changed, till Yugi.

She could still remember the chill of terror that crept up her back when Yugi had pushed the game toward her and introduced himself. Playing games with other people was something to fear in her life, but who could be afraid of Yugi? She had looked up into his eyes and the fear that she had lived with for so long seemed to fade a bit and it kept on fading the longer she was with him.

Then Honda, more scary than Yugi, had rushed into her life. Honda, sauntering along with his hands in his pockets and a small smile on his face. Honda, pretending to be cool and tough, while keeping a careful eye on his friends. She hadn't missed the fact that since those girls had attacked her, he had walked her and Yugi to the store everyday after school and more often then not, met her on the way to school. Honda, so in love with that girl Serenity that his heart seemed to melt out of his eyes when he heard her name, but would shrug and pretend his soul wasn't being torn in two when he heard she was sleeping with another guy.

Honda and Yugi were her friends, the first one's she had since she was too little to even go to school. They made her strong, made it possible to look at her troubles and do something, instead of just accepting it. At night when her mother's voice would haunt her, telling her that she was worthless, she drove it away by remembering Yugi's laugh. When her father left her, beaten and broken she pulled herself up remembering Honda's kindness. When her fears and doubts told her to just give up and go home, she stood her ground. Their smiles , the sound of their voices, their friendship, had become her guardians and with them watching over her, she fell asleep.

Yami & Yugi

~*~*~*~*~*

Yugi knocked lightly at the door of Yami's soul room hiccupping back tears. Yami had been busy all day watching the video of World Economy Watch, which Yugi had to admit was much better than the news. Yami might now want him to start doing creative things with their allowance, but maybe now he wouldn't keep checking Yugi for the symptoms of the latest disease or telling him about crazed loonies who were kidnapping small boys off street corners. There were drawbacks to that of course, such as Yami being to preoccupied to pay attention to his hikari.

Yugi knocked again, wrapping his favorite blanket around his soul form. He had had that dream again. The one where Pegasus was prowling around in the dark, stealing his friends souls and sealing them in cards. He would franticly collect all the cards, to protect his friend's souls, but the card were slippery and they kept falling out of his hands and he as he picked them up and more would slide out. Then Pegasus would chase him, as the cards kept slipping away, but one of his legs would be too short and the other too long and he couldn't run and he couldn't save his friends and he was alone. No Jonouchi, no Honda, no Yuai, no Grandpa, no Yami, not even Kaiba, just crippled, clumsy him and a evil, laughing Pegasus calling, "Yugi boy, come here, Yugi boy."

Yugi sniffed sadly and lifted his hand to knock again, when the door opened. Yami, still dressed in black leather stood in the door, smiling at his hikari. The smile disappeared as he noticed the woeful little figure waiting for him.

"Aibou, what's wrong?" He quickly drew his light into his arms, feeling the small body quiver against him. He wondered what had happened. He had slipped back into the puzzle after Yugi had fallen asleep, safe in bed with a handy glass of water close by. There had been no sign of danger, he had checked all the doors and windows, the downstairs security was on, the street thoroughly checked for lurking menaces, and the little one had been happy and healthy at bed time. He would have noticed if anything…unnatural…was happening. What? He wracked his brain for clues. Could it be that idiotic homework? Really, how good was it for someone as sensitive as Yugi to be studying the German atrocities in World War II, just before bed? Or was it that blue chicken stuff that Grandpa had dug out of the back of the freezer for dinner? Blue chicken just didn't sound right to him. Maybe it was the change in weather? Yes, that could be it. Time to make sure his delicate hikari dressed warmer, if nothing else maybe he could get him to start buttoning up the front of the uniform.

"I had that dream again, you know, the one with Pegasus and the cards." Yugi sniffled against Yami's chest, "I was wondering if I could sleep in here with you."

Yami stroked Yugi's back comfortingly, "Of course you can."

He gently steered Yugi through the maze of his soul and into the bedroom. Yami really didn't understand why there was a bedroom in his soul, or why, no matter how he could rearrange things in the other areas, this one room resisted all change. It was one of the little mysteries that kept him uneasily aware of just how much he didn't know about himself.

The room was dark, as were most of the rooms in his soul, but was gently illuminated by a soft gold glow, giving the darkness a beautiful, comforting warmth. The walls were not the dark, veined, ancient stone of the other rooms, but smooth, warm sandstone, with tiny mica glitters in it. There was a balcony to the right, draped in sheer white linen curtains, ruffled by a warm breeze that carried the scent of the Nile and small peeps and chirps of the creatures that nestled by the river's banks. If he went out to that balcony, he would see the stars, all frozen in one point of time, hanging above the sleeping river. A small table with a polished brass mirror stood over to the left in the room, cluttered by hair brushes, cosmetic jars, kohl sticks, a gold arm band and a woman's jeweled hair pins. The bed, large, low and heavy, sat at the far end of the room. It's golden frame draped in white linen covers and, oddly, huge, fluffy, white pillows. A small child's wheeled toy that looked like a pouncing cheetah lay tipped over on it's side on a huge wooly white rug at the foot of the bed.

He guided Yugi over to the bed and tucked him in under the covers, watching him settle into the odd, out of place, pillows. Yami grinned, his hikari looked so adorable with his eyes, smoky and soft in the dim room, his skin smooth and silky, his lips slightly curved in a sleepy smile.

Yugi abandoned the blanket he had wrapped around himself, showing that he had only worn a pair of purple boxers to bed. He wiggled deeper into the pillows, nudging them around, plumping a few and squishing a few more. He accidentally dropped his blanket over the other side of the bed and crawled over and retrieved it, his purple clad bottom up in the air.

"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" Yami murmured as Yugi straitened and tossed the blanket to the foot of the bed, laid back down on the pillows with his hands behind his head and leisurely stretched, arching his body off the bed.

"You betcha." Yugi grinned, unrepentant, "How am I doing?"

Yami lunged forward, tackling Yugi, his lips catching Yugi's in a deep kiss. His hands pressed Yugi's shoulders down into the pillows, savoring the smooth feel of the pale skin and the delicate tension of muscle and bone beneath his fingers. He loved his hikari's fine bones, his slight form, so pliant, so warm, yet surprisingly strong. He shifted, using his weight to hold Yugi down as he slid a hand down his body, savoring the curve of his light's ribs, the flat plain of his belly and the swelling curve of his bottom.

Yugi laughed softly in his throat, opening his mouth to Yami's kiss enjoying the weight of his body, softly pressing his down into the mattress. A deep, tingling tension was winding in his stomach as he felt Yami's hand slide a slow path down his body then slip under to pull his hips up against him. He pressed upward, eager to feel more of Yami's lean body and wrapped his arms around his waist.

Yami pulled back from the kiss, nibbling softly at Yugi's lower lip then stood up. Yugi made a small sound of protest as he was deprived of his dark's body, his hands trying to pull Yami back, but Yami stepped farther away and shook his head.

"Uh uh, patience, Yugi, patience,"

Yugi rolled to his belly, propping his chin on his hands, and watched as his yami undressed, loving every inch of skin that was revealed. The dark jacket dropped, soft leather was unbuckled, the belt clattered to the floor, shoes knocked against the leg of the bed as they were tossed aside, a zipper hissed open, leather pants crumpled into a heap. Then there he stood, beautiful, proud, his skin glowing in the light of the room, like a young god of darkness and gold. Yugi licked his lips, his dark looked gloriously delicious, and he wanted a taste.

Yami caught sight of the little flicker of tongue and leaned forward to catch Yugi's lips in another kiss his tongue slipping between the soft lips of his light. Yugi sat up, tipping his head back, allowing Yami easier access to his mouth. Yami leaned back again, ending the kiss. He smiled at Yugi, then turned around and settled onto the bed, pushing himself back into the pillows, then reached over and pulled Yugi up on top of him.

Yugi stretched out on top of Yami, their legs tangled together, their chests pressed nipple to nipple, one of Yami's arms wrapped under his, his hand stroking down his back, the other cupping the back of Yugi's head as he pressed their mouths together for a third time. Yugi slipped his hand down Yami's side and lifted himself slightly to allow his hand to slide between their bodies, enjoying Yami's soft gasp as his hand cupped his lover's swelling member.

Yami pressed himself up against Yugi's hand, moaning softly as the littler one wrapped his thumb and forefinger around his penis and began to slide up and down his stiffening length. He could feel Yugi's erection against his belly as he moved both his hands down to the top of Yugi's thighs, urging the little one to straddle his hips. As his light complied, he slipped one hand behind Yugi's soft, rounded buttocks, paused a moment to rub his light's entrance, then went farther down to gently stroke his love's sac with his finger tips. His other hand traveled back up Yugi's spine, skated over the delicate bone of his ribs, found his nipple and rubbed it with his thumb.

Yugi mewled softly, his hand still pleasuring his yami, as shivers of pleasure seemed to tighten in his stomach. He shifted slightly, licking his dark's lips then tracing his jaw line to nibble on Yami's ear. He could hear his yami's breath, harsh and gasping with pleasure. He could taste Yami's sweat, feel the tremors that rippled the muscles under his body. Yami's hand moved back up, pressing against his entrance, rubbing, teasing, then one finger sliding in. Yugi mewled again, pressing his hips against Yami's stomach, his erection pressed between their bodies.

Yami groaned, his light had clever hands. Teasing, pleasing, clever hands that were driving him half mad. He pushed another finger into his hikari stretching him, preparing him for more. His light's slender body shivered in his arms, pressing closer, his soft mouth nibbling, small sounds of need coming from his throat. Yami scissored his fingers, stretching more, his other hand sliding down to shift Yugi slightly, holding him still and he rolled the both over. He slid his fingers out and positioned himself quickly. Looking down into Yugi's pleasure dazed eyes he thrust himself deep into his light.

Yugi's eye's widened, his mouth opened in a gasp as he felt his dark drive himself deep. The tight knot of need coiled tighter in his stomach as Yami withdrew and thrust in again. Tighter, as his hips bucked up against Yami, his head thrashing against the pillows. Tighter as Yami's pace quickened, each thrust driving his hips down into the soft bed. Tighter, as Yami's thrusts hit the spot to cause him to scream in pleasure. Tighter as he felt Yami coming close to his own release. Then that silent explosion of pure ecstasy, his hips jerking upward uncontrollably, his seed releasing between their sweating straining bodies as Yami screamed his own release and shuddered into him.

Yami wrapped his arms around Yugi and rolled them over to their sides. He kissed him gently, "Aibou, I would say you did great."

Anzu

~*~*~*

Anzu curled into the corner of the dark room, rocking back and forth. Her parents had gone away, leaving her here, alone, in the dark. She didn't like the dark. She didn't like being alone. The dark was scary. Bad things happened in the dark. That's when her brother would come, in the dark. He would come and make her be bad. She closed her eyes and rocked harder. If only someone would come, be with her in the dark, someone safe, someone who would keep the dark away, keep the bad things away. She knew someone, someone who would keep the dark away, but she couldn't remember.

A nurse walked in and noticed Anzu rocking in the corner, "Honey, it's okay. It's time to go to bed now."

Anzu shook her head, "No, no. I don't want to. I don't want to."

"It's okay, honey." The nurse motioned for a waiting orderly to come into the room. She took a needle from him and nodded toward Anzu. "Don't worry, honey. Everything's going to be just fine."

Anzu looked up at the huge man leaning over her and started screaming, tears running down her face. "No, no. I'll be good. I'll be good! Please, don't. Don't. Don't!"
