Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Disturbia ❯ The End of War ( Chapter 11 )

Yuri: Hey, here's a new chapter for you guys! See you at the bottom!

…The End of War…

There was so much blood.

The petite, white-haired vampire had to hold his breath so that his senses wouldn't go into overdrive. When he had finally gotten to the fallen figure on the ground, it was a struggle to drag him back into the palace without anyone noticing but by some miracle, he got the deed done.

He didn't wake up for days. Ryou would have actually been surprised if he woke up at all. The brown-eyed youth had spent days trying to heal the fallen man but it had seemed hopeless at this point. However, he didn't give up. Tending to his wounds, Ryou had begun to talk to the man even though he was still unconscious. It was just that with Yugi and the others so busy, he didn't really have anyone to talk to. Everyday, Ryou would sit and talk to this mysterious vampire. He never got the chance to see the man's eyes and his face was pretty banged up as well. All he knew was that the sleeping vampire had snow white hair, just like he did.

Then one night, Ryou came back to his room only to be grabbed by the man he had saved. He felt a small knife come to his throat from behind him and an arm wrap tightly around his small form. He closed his eyes, expecting the worse but he soon realized that the man was…hugging him…thanking him. The vampire didn't want Ryou to see him, thus the knife ensuring that the other wouldn't try and turn around.

In a moment, the arm left his body and the knife left his throat. The only thing Ryou managed to see was a shadowy figure fly out of the balcony. He never knew his name…or his eye color…his clan…or his voice.

…

“Interesting,” Marik said after Bakura finished telling him the story about when they had first met. “But why were you so wounded in the first place?”

Bakura glared at the wall as he said: “I stole from the wrong group of people and I was outnumbered. I would have died if Ryou didn't save me. That was about a year ago before Yami caught me. At first, that day on the bridge, I did not recognize him because his eyes were blue. But at the banquet, I realized that it was indeed him.”

“Does he know?” Marik inquired curiously.

“No,” Bakura said bluntly. “At least, I don't think he does.”

Marik nodded and then turned to the wall and sighed. “Where are you going?” Bakura asked when Marik stood to his feet.

“Out. Tell Yami not to wait up for me,” Marik replied, making Bakura chuckle a little.

“Trust me. He doesn't,” Bakura scoffed. “He's actually hoping that one day you won't come back from one of your little adventures.”

Marik smirked. “But then who would be here to keep you in check? Kaiba?”

There was a roar of laughter coming from the room next to their own and Bakura glared at the door when he recognized the voice to be the brunet vampire's laugh.

“I think not,” Bakura answered and watched as Marik left the room. With nothing left to do, Bakura leaned back on his seat and stared at the ceiling above him. Closing his eyes, he let himself get wrapped up in his thoughts. A certain chocolate-eyed vampire immediately came to his mind.

Maybe he should go and visit Ryou…

It didn't take long for Bakura to decide and, in an instant, he disappeared as well.

…

Jou could not find Ryou anywhere and that was unfortunate since the blonde seriously needed someone to talk to. He had been trying to avoid Yugi but had figured that it would just be best for everyone if he had told Yugi everything that he needed to.

Jou walked off in the direction of his king's room but once he got into the small dining room, a slender figure hopped down from the ceiling and obstructed Jou from his destination. It didn't take long for Jou to recognize those shining ruby eyes.

"Katsuya," Yami hissed as he straightened himself out.

"Yami!" Jou shouted in surprise. The blonde jumped two steps back before ripping out a long, skinny sword and placing it against Yami's exposed next. "You're not welcomed here!" Jou spat, staring at the other in pure disdain. Yami looked completely unfazed by the blade at his throat and instead plastered a smug smirk on his face. "On the contrary Katsuya," Yami said with a humorous tone as he placed his finger to the tip of the sword and effortlessly pushed it to the side despite Jou's struggle to keep it there. "I am very welcomed here," the crimson-eyed king said with a superior tone.

"Enough!" said an extremely annoyed voice. Suddenly, Yugi appeared at Yami's side with a glare gracing his angelic features. "Jou, please refrain from threatening my boyfriend," Yugi ordered and then turned sharply to face the other king. "And you. Please do not harass Jou." Yugi stalked off towards the center of the room they were currently in. While Yugi was searching through the drawers of a wooden desk, Yami was enjoying the way Jou visibly flinched at Yugi's word choice.

"Why is he here?" Jou asked the Azules leader as he put away his sword. Yugi momentarily glanced at Jou before going back to what he was doing. "He is here because I want him here. And besides, he needs to help me in our search for the person that tried to separate us."

Yami smiled darkly and slowly, as if watching his prey, began to circle Jou. "Yes Katsuya. You wouldn't happen to know anything would you?" Yami said with a sadistic smirk.

"Are you insinuating that I would betray my king?" Jou barked while glaring daggers at the Rajos king.

"I don't know, would you?" Yami asked raising a thin eyebrow.

"Yami," Yugi warned wearily as he shuffled through some papers on the desk. In an instant, Yugi felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his waist and pull him back into a hard chest. "I apologize my love," Yami whispered into Yugi's ear. "But you cannot blame me for being suspicious of everyone. Someone tried to take you away from me and almost succeeded."

"That is all very well but I highly doubt that Jou had anything to do with this. He is my loyal guard but also my best friend," Yugi replied resting his head underneath Yami's chin.

"Yes indeed, he is your best friend who, may I point out, does not like me very much. Evidence being the several times he has attempted to kill me. Which is why my suspicion of him is very well founded," Yami explained as if Jou wasn't even standing right next to him.

Jou only scoffed at the Rajos king. "After you've spent the last month hunting him down, now you suddenly care about him? Give me a break!" Jou scoffed and Yami quickly released his smaller counterpart and turned on his heel to face the blonde. "I can give you several; however, Yugi would be angry with me if I broke any of your bones."

"Yes I would," Yugi responded from his spot at the desk, giving Yami a sideways glance.

"Besides," Yami said slowly, "I've always loved your king. Even after I thought he betrayed me. I just didn't know until last night." Jou continued to glare at the untrustworthy vampire. "But why am I explaining this to you? I'm more interested in finding the pour soul responsible," Yami said turning his back to the blonde guard and walking back of to his amethyst-eyed lover.

"I almost feel bad for him," Yugi said with a small chuckle before ordering a guard to fetch the head of his council. Within moments, Ryou entered the room and almost fell back at the amount of tension in the air. His eyes darted from Yugi to Jou to the Rajos king back to...Wait! The Rajos king!

"Ah...Is there a specific reason to why the leader of the Rajos clan is standing in the living room?" Ryou asked to no one in particular. However, it was Yugi who answered.

"Because he doesn't want to sit," the shorter king replied before turning to face the pale-skinned vampire. "Ryou, I need you to arrange a meeting with the Superior as well as the remaining clan leaders. Also tell Malik to begin to withdraw the troops immediately."

"WHAT?" Jou yelled and then wished he was invisible the moment Yugi's eyes turned on him harshly. "This war is over," Yugi stated blankly.

"Is that why you wish a meeting with the others?" Ryou asked, responding to the sudden news slightly better than Jou currently was. Yugi merely nodded and with a wave of his hand, Ryou disappeared.

"We must make haste Yugi," Yami said turning to the smaller king.

"I know," Yugi said, grabbing the papers off of his desk and walking towards the exit with Yami by his side. Before leaving, Yugi turned back to see Jou's unreadable expression and sighed. "One second Yami," Yugi said softly and Yami nodded in understanding and walked out, leaving Yugi and Jou to themselves.

For a moment, nothing was said but soon enough Jou opened his mouth and said meekly: "Why?"

Yugi sighed once again as he walked up to his best friend. "What do you want me to do Jou? I love him. And I know you don't believe him but he loves me too. This war is pointless. All we are doing is wasting valuable time and lives. I wished the council would have seen that before they started this. Why can't you just be happy for me?" Yugi asked, looking up at the blonde with confused eyes.

"Because," Jou said in frustration. "He can't be trusted Yugi! Have you completely forgotten all the times he has threatened you?"

"No I have not," Yugi said honestly. "However, those were only words. The same words that I once spoke. Words that neither of us ever acted on. We were just angry."

Jou ran his fingers through his tangled mane and, exhaling deeply, he said slowly: "I'm sorry Yug but I still can't trust him. I don't want to see you get hurt again."

Yugi nodded. "I won't," the smaller vampire assured and then, unexpectedly, embraced the blonde. "But thanks for looking out for me. I know I can depend on you. You would never keep anything from me."

Jou felt his heart drop into his stomach. "Sure Yug. Anything for you," Jou said hesitantly and watched as the Azules king walked out the door to meet up with Yami. After a few silent minutes, Jou slumped into a nearby chair and groaned.

"Oh Kaiba, what have we done?"

...

It was midnight when everyone arrived to the large conference house in Malabuena. At the head of the table sat the Superior in all of his glory. To his right sat the Rajos king whose eyes were shining a deep crimson and to the left, the Azules king, who's eyes were colored a mysterious blue. Beside Yugi Azules, was Anzu Verdes who was currently staring up at the ceiling, the light hitting her jade green eyes. Next to her sat Mai Violetas. Mai was a beautiful vampire with blonde silky hair that ran to the middle of her back and bangs that framed her round face emphasizing her lovely purple eye color. Mai was the leader of the Violetas clan. Members of this clan were mostly female, but all of them were graced with delicate beauty. However, most of them were very shallow and ugly on the inside. At night, their eyes turned a bright violet, much like Mai's original eye color.

On the other side of the table, next to Yami, sat Otogi Negores. He was the king of the Negores clan. Otogi had long black hair that he would usually keep up in a ponytail along with piercing green eyes. However, at night, his eyes, along with the members of his clan, would morph into a sickly black color. All of the members of the Negores clan were extremely vain and selfish. And finally, there was Honda Marrones, also king of his clan. Honda wore his hair in an unusual fashion, putting it into one large spike. Members of the Marrones clan usually kept to themselves and strayed away from violence, however, they were extremely loud-mouthed and annoying. Their eyes would turn a muddy brown at night.

With all of the leaders of important clans present, the Superior proceeded to explain the reason for everyone being there.

"So, it has come to my understanding that you two wish to end this war between your two kingdoms. Am I correct?" the Superior said slowly.

"Yes," Yami and Yugi said in unison, shocking everyone else at the table.

“That's wonderful!” Anzu squeaked happily.

“It's about time,” Otogi said flipping his hair to the side.

“Agreed,” Honda said, nonchalantly nodding his head.

"We also wish to announce our plan to combine our kingdoms," Yami said his head resting on his two overlapping hands that were propped up on his elbows. There was another round of gasps at the table.

The two women at the table were especially surprised by the comment and Mai said with a confused expression: "But the only way for two kingdoms to be combined is for their leaders to be—"

"Married," Yami finished with a small smirk and a slight arch of his brow.

"Yami and I are to be married once the necessary arrangements for this treaty have been executed," Yugi announced with a small smile and looking up, he saw Yami wink at him.

No one at the table had expected that. However, there was one person in particular who was extremely displeased by the news.

There was no way they were going to let this happen! Yami and Yugi were already strong on their own but together...they could take over the entire vampire world. No! They refused to let that happen! They had tried to do the nice thing and just separate the two from each other without killing either of them but it had appeared that that plan had backfired.

There was only one option left...

Everyone was so busy voicing their opinions on the end of the war or congratulating Yugi and Yami on their decision to be married that no one even noticed the vampire leader at the table that sneaked out of the room. There were preparations to be made...

...TBC...
