...Near Encounter...
“My Lord, Master Katsuya requests your immediate presence” said a large, well-built vampire. This remark caused Yugi to turn his full attention to the man who spoke to him. The youth waited a few moments before responding: “Very well then.”
And with that, the man bowed and walked out of his king’s room. Yugi then returned his attention to a small black book that lay gently on his lap. It wasn’t open. Yugi couldn’t bring himself to open it no matter how desperately he wanted to. It would have the answers to so many of his questions but it might also be the object that caused his demise. It all depended on what was written in it and, honestly, Yugi didn’t feel like he had enough courage to do it. And maybe...it was for the best.
With one last sigh Yugi got to his feet and placed his cursed treasure underneath his blue pillow. This deed having been accomplished, the amethyst-eyed king made his way to the main hall and within a few seconds was in Jou’s room.
“You know Jou,” Yugi said with a large smirk on his face as he climbed over the small hills of dirty clothing, “You can have the maids clean your room.”
Jou looked up at his friend and quickly managed to swallow the large amount of food that was in his mouth before replying: “Yeah but then I never know where anything is. This way I know exactly where to find stuff.”
Yugi smiled and said thoughtfully: “Hmm, be disorganized to be organized? Revolutionary.”
Yugi dodged a green shirt that was thrown at his head with a laugh. A sheepish grin also graced his blonde friend’s lips. The thing Yugi loved about Jou was that the boy had treated Yugi like a person, not just like a king. Jou wasn’t afraid to yell at or correct Yugi. Well, at least he wasn’t sometimes. Every now and then Jou would act very formal to Yugi when the blonde sensed some disturbance in Yugi’s attitude. But Yugi would just tell him that there was no need for formalities. Not when it came to him, Ryou, or Malik anyways.
“So what did you want to see me about?” Yugi asked curiously.
Jou looked like he was having trouble with what he was trying to say. He was obviously trying to bring up a sensitive topic with gentleness. “Well, I’ve been noticing that you have been acting strange lately and I just–“
“I know Jou. You want to know if I want to talk about it. Thank you but no. I need to deal with this myself. But I’m glad to know that you’re there if I need you.”
Jou said with a small smile: “Anytime.” The blonde then added: “So what do you want to do? What do you suggest will help you?”
Yugi sighed. “I gotta get out or figure this shit out” said the small king.
Jou nodded in understanding and said: “Alright then. Let’s go out.”
“Really?” Yugi asked skeptically. “No guards?”
“Just me and the boys” Jou said simply.
“Disguises?” Yugi said.
“Required, of course” Jou answered.
Yugi nodded happily before he rushed out of Jou’s room and walked to his room. Once there, he dug into the large, magnificent closet and pulled out a dark grey cape with a hood. He quickly called upon Ryou and Malik and had instructed the two of what their daily plans would be.
“So, we’re going to go the markets today?” Malik asked excitedly.
Ryou shook his head. “Yugi, that place is crawling with members of the Rajos. In this time of war, you going out into the public unguarded is not wise” Ryou said disapprovingly.
Yugi waved Ryou’s concern off and said: “Don’t worry; we’ll be using our capes. And the market is also a place where many Azules go. We’ll be fine.”
Ryou still looked very upset. He was the parent of the group and this idea was not at all to his liking. However, he was merely an advisor to the Azules leader. He knew that he couldn’t stop Yugi from going if he really wanted to so there was no point in arguing any further. About an hour later, Yugi and his companions, all dressed in grey capes, exited the large castle through a hidden door behind a book shelve that the four had discovered when they were mere children. With every step that Yugi took away from the castle, he felt the large burden on his shoulders begin to disappear. He sighed a sigh of relief when they were so far that he could no longer see his home.
...
“Marik! Put him down!” Yami ordered as he sat at the head of the long wooden breakfast table in the main living area. Marik, knowing that it probably wasn’t the best idea to disobey Yami, growled as placed the vampire that he held in his grasp back on the ground. The vampire then quickly ran for his life, leaving the other four laughing in their seats hysterically.
“Marik, I think you made the poor soul shit himself” Bakura said humorously.
“Well, he shouldn’t have overcooked my food” Marik said and then looked over to Yami before adding: “Why didn’t you let me kill him? You would have if he had done the same to you.”
Yami rolled his eyes and said: “Well, since you have brutally murdered every single chef that I’ve had that has messed up your food, I seem to have a shortage of cooks. So I need him. You can kill him after Kaiba finds a few more workers.”
“Oh why do I have to do everything around here?” Kaiba mumbled. Yami gave Kaiba a wink in response and said: “Because if I let someone else like Bakura organize my staff than I’ll have a whole bunch of bloodthirsty, sex-addicted whores who would never get anything done.”
Bakura nodded his head in agreement as he took another fork-full of food from his plate and shoved it in his mouth.
Yami stood to his feet suddenly and said: “I’ll meet you guys at the palace gates. I have to go get my cape.”
Without waiting for a response, Yami walked out of the living room and into his bedroom. He quickly found his dark grey cape in his closet. However, when he yanked it out, a small black book came flying out as well and landed at Yami’s feet. For a moment, Yami was very hesitant to pick it up. He had forgotten that he had thrown that cursed thing in his closet and now it was staring him menacingly in the face. Eventually he kneeled down to the floor and cupped the object in hands. When he got back to his feet, he didn’t move. He just stared at the small book in his hands. He had never opened it... and he was never going to. Suddenly the young king violently threw the book at the wall and walked quickly out of his room, not seeing where the book landed.
When Yami had walked outside of his large castle, Kaiba and the other two were already dressed in their grey colored capes waiting patiently.
“Shall we?” Yami said as he approached his companions and soon after they began to make their way to the markets.
...
The Middleway markets were about a dozen outside stores lined up next to each other. They were located in Malabuena. A town that was directly between the Rajos and the Azules cities. Therefore, the markets were infested with both members of the two clans and then of course miscellaneous vampires who were part of smaller, less important clans. The markets, surprisingly, were actually a very peaceful place to shop and sell even with the collision of several different clans. The first reason why they were not a place of arguments and fights was because the stores were only opened in the day time so there was no way to tell who belonged to which clan. The only way someone could actually find out was if the person had told them or if it was nighttime, because then they could just tell by whatever color the person’s eyes turned.
Another reason why it was a place of tranquility was because a lot of people who shopped there didn’t care about there being another clan in their presence. In fact, until the war began, the Rajos and the Azures were allies who preyed on other clans. Of course, that was until the deadly attack and murder of the previous Rajos leader, the grandfather of Yami Rajos, Deynit Rajos. The blame fell on a few members of the Azules clan, thus the divide between the two clans. The divide intensified when a Rajos assassin murdered the previous Azules leader, the grandfather of Yugi Azules, Soloman Azules. When Yugi and Yami had taken their thrones, the war had already begun. And it would seem that it would never end. Azules and Rajos members were instructed by their leaders to kill if they ever came in contact with one another and if this order was disobeyed, then it would be punishable by death. So even though most of the members of the clans despised each other, there were members who purposely remained oblivious to their surroundings so as to promote peace and not war. Most of those people went to the Middleway markets and on this particular day, so did the leaders of the Azules and Rajos clans.
...
Yugi made his way through the different shops. He had told Jou that he was going to check out a candy shop for a moment and after receiving consent, even thought he really didn’t need it, he left his friends. He was currently in the candy store looking at some sweets to take come. He did look slightly suspicious due to the fact that he wore a long cape and hood that shielded his hair and eyes but he had to for his protection. Even though this wasn’t a place known for its violence between rival clans, he was just not a regular member. He was the king. And although usually vampires couldn’t tell clans apart during the day, every clan member knew what the kings of other clans looked like and if a Rajos member had spotted him then he would be in danger. But of course he could handle himself. He would pay to see someone try to take him down. A smile grace his lips as he found exactly what he was looking for and turned around quickly to find out where he needed to pay for this. So quickly in fact that he ran right into someone, dropping his pieces of candy to the floor.
“I apologize, sir” Yugi said politely. The man was lucky he had to disguise himself or else the other vampire would probably be executed on the spot. The next thing he heard almost made his heart stop.
“It’s alright” said the vampire dressed in a long grey cape similar to Yugi’s. The voice was immediately recognizable to the young king but before he could react the other vampire had pulled out a long, slim, deadly sword.
“Lord Azules. Yami would be ever so delighted to see you again” the man said taking off his hood, revealing his crystal blue eyes.
Yugi took off his hood as well and said bearing long, white fangs: “Kaiba, what a pleasure to see you.”
Kaiba scowled and said sarcastically: “Oh no, the pleasure is all mines.”
Before Yugi could speak, a tall figure stood directly in front of him and he felt two pairs of hands grab on to his wrists.
“Take him. I’ll see you back at the castle” Jou said, keeping his eyes on Kaiba the entire time with a smirk.
All Jou heard was Yugi curse as he protested but luckily Ryou and Malik managed to disappear with him much to Kaiba’s dismay. However, now he had a new target. His favorite target.
“Well Mutt, I can see that you’re still babysitting that pathetic excuse for a king” Kaiba said with a smile.
Jou glared at the brunet in front of him, still holding his sword in his hand. “After I kick your ass, I’ll take you to this lovely little place called home where you’ll be mutilated and tortured. Sounds like fun, no?” Jou said seriously.
Kaiba rolled his eyes, his sword still positioned towards Jou’s face. “Mutt, you do indeed give yourself too much credit. You have yet to realize that you are dumber than the candy in this store. You couldn’t find my ass, or your house for that matter, with a map and a GPS.”
Jou’s glare intensified. “Kaiba, I’m sure you’ll be glad to know that you are the only arrogant prick that can piss me off this much.”
Kaiba smiled and said: “It’s my sole purpose in life.”
Jou growled and made a swift attack towards Kaiba but suddenly his world went black and his body fell limp.
Kaiba looked from Jou’s unconscious body on the floor to Bakura who was standing where Jou once stood with a metal object in his hand. Marik was off in the corner.
“Why’d you do that?” Kaiba said pissed off that he was now unable to humiliate the blonde any further.
All of the sudden, Yami came down from the ceiling and landed on the floor directly in front of Kaiba.
“Trade” was all Yami said.
Kaiba looked confused. “What?” he said.
Yami smiled. “We can trade this idiotic fool for Nicholas.”
Kaiba thought about what Yami said for a few moments. On the up side, Yugi would most definitely go through with the trade because Jou was his best friend. The down side was now he wouldn’t be able to kill the blonde. Oh well...he’d have other opportunities to do so.
Kaiba watched as Yami bent to the floor and picked up the candy that was sprawled out everywhere. He looked at it for a moment and then with a smile said aloud: “Oh Yugi. You haven’t changed a bit.”
“Were you here when Yugi was?” Kaiba asked.
Yami shook his head. “Of course not. Surely if I was, he’d be dead by now.”
“Then how did you know that he was here?” Kaiba said.
Yami smiled and said holding up a piece of candy: “Apple chocolate flavored candies. His favorite.”
He pocketed the few pieces of candy before he made his way to the door and announced that they would be departing now to make preparations for tonight’s trade.
“Wait!” Kaiba said making everyone stop in their tracks. “You’re going to make me carry him, aren’t you?” he said directing his question at Yami.
Yami didn’t respond but instead gave Kaiba a bright grin before exiting the store followed by Bakura and Marik.
‘Great’ Kaiba said to himself as he picked up Jou’s limp body. ‘About 160 pounds of dead weight.’
Kaiba walked outside, purposely hitting Jou’s head against the door as he did. ‘Someone’s going to have a headache when they wake up’ Kaiba snickered.
It didn’t take too long for the four Rajos members and one unconscious Azules member to get back to their castle. After a few steps were taken, Yami entered his room and picked up his phone. He had entrusted Seto with Jou’s body until the blonde awakened. ‘Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea’ Yami said to himself with a smile. He listened as the phone began to ring and his fangs appeared when someone picked up. The exact person that he wanted to talk to.
“Yugi...it’s me.”
