…The Last Stand…
“How the fuck did this happen?”
Ryou flinched at his leader’s harsh tone. They had decided to leave Jou with Kaiba just in case of another attack while he, Bakura, and Yugi were already half way to the Superior’s castle. On the way, Bakura had explained his assumption of the Superior’s involvement. To say Yugi was pissed was an understatement. He was livid.
“Now, Yugi, let’s not be rash–“ Ryou tried.
“Rash?” Yugi practically laughed. “I’ll show that bastard rash.”
Bakura scooted closer to Ryou, all of them high above the Azules city, and whispered: “And I thought Yami was insane.”
Ryou quickly elbowed the other in the stomach as a fair warning. Once Yugi was on a rampage, there was no stopping him. “Yugi,” Ryou spoke cautiously, “has a very special temper.”
Bakura snorted. “I’ll say.”
Ryou shot Bakura a glare before he realized that Yugi had come to a dead stop in mid-air.
“What is it, Yugi?” Ryou whispered softly, not exactly keen on upsetting the small vampire even further.
Yugi didn’t even turn to Ryou and instead kept his ice blue eyes on the object below him. “We’re here,” the tri-colored haired king stated before landing abruptly on the balcony, his hands slamming into the wood so that he could balance himself. In one fluid movement, Yugi straightened his back, his bangs uncovering his face to reveal his menacing blue eyes.
“Let’s go,” Yugi demanded before raising a fist and shattering the glass window to the ground.
Ryou winced at the loud noise knowing very well that Yugi had no plan in his head but was just fixed on finding Yami. This was one of the rare times that Yugi’s sanity was complete overshadowed by his vampire urges. This was why Yugi was a great king. He was smart and strangely kind sometimes. However, when the situation called for it, he could be one of the most dangerous vampires in the entire world.
…
Making sure that Yami’s hands were tied securely by an unbreakable rope, Otogi reached into his pocket and pulled out a small dagger. Honda had secluded himself in the corner, saying that he would have no part in this. Otogi just shrugged him off before he continued his taunting of the vulnerable king.
“Well, Lord Rajos, it appears that you have met your end,” Otogi mused with a humorous smirk.
Yami didn’t answer. He assumed that this would tick Otogi off more than giving into his sad game. He just leaned on his knees while struggling against the binds on his wrists silently.
“Why, you may wonder, are we doing this?” Otogi proceeded knowing that Yami would hear him even if he didn’t respond. “Well, after your little get together and Yugi’s announcement of your engagement, I snuck out to prepare a meeting with the other leaders. Once they arrived, we, along with the Superior,, concluded that this was the best option. Besides, we can’t have you and dear Yugi taking over the vampire world now, can we?”
For the first time since the Superior left, Yami made a noise. However, it was not what Otogi had been expecting. The sound of Yami’s rich laughter filled the room and Otogi glared at the Rajos king in both confusion and anger.
“Is that what this was about?” Yami asked, after regaining his composure. “Yugi and I had no intention of doing such a thing. And you,” Yami spat, “are unfit to be a king. This is treason at its highest level. All of you shall perish.”
“Silence!” Otogi demanded and instantly brought the dagger down to rip across Yami’s cheek. A small pool of blood settled on the floor as the red substance ran down Yami’s cheek and dripped onto the ground from his chin. “You are in no position to make threats, Yami,” Otogi finished, ignoring the blood that was dripping form the edge of the dagger.
Despite the sharp pain, Yami smiled. “That was not a threat, worthless vampire,” he said darkly. “That was a promise.”
Otogi hissed and brought the dagger up above his head as he prepared for another blow. Yami closed his eyes to block out the oncoming pain but nothing ever came. In fact, he heard a small cough instead and looked up to notice a knife piercing Otogi’s throat.
Otogi continued to look straight with blank eyes. And then, slowly, he collapsed to his knees before falling forward on his face besides Yami. The red-eyed vampire looked from the now dead Otogi to the figure looming over him and grinned.
“It’s about time you showed up,” Yami said, amusement evident in his deep voice.
Marik shrugged. “Well, it was only a matter of time before you got your ass in trouble again. And I always have to be the one to save you.”
“Just like good times, eh?” Yami replied while Marik untied his hands.
“What should I do with this one?” a new voice spoke and Yami turned to see Malik with his hand wrapped tightly around Honda’s neck.
Yami smirked mischievously before bending down and picking up the dagger that Otogi had slashed his cheek with.
“Let me deal with him.”
…
Something that sounded like a groan was heard from the sheets and Jou turned to see Kaiba stirring in his sleep before a pair of red eyes snapped open, very aware and alert. “It’s about time you woke up,” Jou spoke softly.
Kaiba sat up in the bed and grimaced at the pain that shot up from his back. “Where are the others?” he managed to wince out.
Jou noticed the brunet’s pain-expression and sighed before walking over to the bed and pushing the other back into the warm blankets. “They are all at the Superior’s castle.”
Kaiba’s eyes widened slightly. “He was behind this?”
Jou nodded. Several protests immediately came from the blond’s mouth when Kaiba made a motion to get out of bed. “Can you not be such a stubborn prick for two seconds?! You’re wounded for Christ’s sakes!”
A hand shot out and Jou winced when Kaiba grabbed a fist-full of his sandy locks and tilted his head backwards.
“Katsuya,” Kaiba hissed. “Our clans are engaging in an almost unbeatable fight and you expect me to just sit here?!”
Jou winced again as Kaiba emphasized his last statement with another tug of his hair. Pain, fear, anger, and something else he couldn’t describe mixed together in the pit of his stomach. “Please Kaiba, just stay! I don’t want you to get hurt again! Can’t you see how much I care?!”
Jou brought his hands to cover his mouth a second to late. The room was immediately drowned in an uncomfortable yet perfectly still silence. It was almost as if time had just stopped. Unnatural blue eyes and red eyes locked on to each other for what seemed like an eternity. That was until Kaiba let go of Jou’s hair and stood to his feet. Without a word, the brunet walked over to the door and reached out for the handle. “You can’t,” Kaiba said barely above a whisper as he opened the door. Jou’s voice stopped him in his tracks.
“Don’t walk away from me, Kaiba. Don’t turn your back on me.”
Jou wasn’t sure what had happened. One moment, Kaiba was seconds away from leaving him, the next the brunet connected their lips together in a bruising kiss. Jou’s eyes went wide with shock and disbelief and before he could even register what was happening, Kaiba separated, effectively ending the kiss.
In a tone softer than usual but still able to hold on to its sternness, Kaiba stated: “Our duty as second in command of our clans calls. We must answer it, above all things.”
Jou sighed and slowly reached out to clasp Kaiba’s hand in his. With an assertive nod, Jou whispered sadly: “Alright.”
…
There was a soft knock on the door and the Superior instantly looked up from his desk, Mai and Anzu on each side of him. “Come in,” he instructed.
The door creaked open and the Superior smiled at the arrival. “Is it done?” the mismatched-vampire inquired.
Honda nodded carefully. “Yes. Yami is dead.”
The Superior’s smile widened. “Very well then. Where is Otogi?”
The question seemed to unnerve the brown-haired vampire but he answered nevertheless: “He needs some help with the body.”
The Superior quirked an eyebrow. “That’s odd. Otogi is relatively strong.”
Honda laughed nervously. “Yeah, weird, right?”
The Superior eyed Honda suspiciously for a moment. However, he just sighed impatiently and quickly gestured to Mai and Anzu. “Very well. You two go help him.”
The two women nodded before exiting behind Honda and heading towards the room where Otogi ‘supposedly’ was. About five minutes went by before a loud shriek was heard and the Superior immediately stood to his feet and opened his door before walking towards where the scream had come from. When he entered the main living room, he stumbled upon a shocking scene.
Both Anzu and Mai were soaked with their own blood, throats slashed. A furious growl escaped the Superior’s lips as he looked from the bloody vampires to the doors that led out to the balcony which were wide open. Walking out onto the ledge, the Superior used his vampire senses to search for strong auras. He instantly sensed a strong aura coming from the roof of his castle and, bending down slightly at first, he pushed off his legs with inhumane strength and jumped directly onto the roof.
The wind was howling like a wolf in the night. The sky was cloudy but the moon shone through as bright as the sun. One green eye and one brown eye scanned the roof for any sign of life. The roof looked more like a playing field though. Perfect for the events that were about to take place.
A smile came to the Superior’s face as he picked up on a familiar scent. “Yami,” he called, his voice dripping with humor. “Come out, come out, wherever you are.”
Just as he expected, a dark figure appeared from the shadows, standing on the opposite side from the Superior, his crimson eyes shining darkly. Marik and Malik came out as well but stayed in the background, knowing that this was not their fight.
“Oh, just you, Yami? This will be way to easy,” the Superior all but laughed. His laughter, however, came to an abrupt halt as a new voice pierced through the night sky.
“He’s not alone, you bastard. He has me!”
Everyone turned to see Yugi walk up besides Yami and grab on to the other’s hands. Yami smiled softly at his little love before turning to see Bakura and Ryou beside the two Egyptian vampires. His smile widened when he noticed Jou and Kaiba behind them. Everyone who needed to be here…was here.
“This is your last stand, Dartz!” Yami challenged, using the Superior’s real name out of pure disrespect and disgust.
The Superior’s face immediately darkened. “You two will die together.”
In the background, a lightening bolt cracked through the clouds and a roll of thunder consumed the silence. The sky opened up and a downpour of rain drenched the vampires from head to toe. Though his bangs were sticking to his face, Yami watched as the Superior created a force field around them, completely cutting off Yami and Yugi from their friends but yet did not prevent the rain from falling on them.
“This,” the Superior laughed. “Is your last stand.”
And then, it begun…
