Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Everyone can Love ❯ Meeting Together ( Chapter 1 )

To Angel of Roses: Sorry about your confusion. Actually, a blood red glint in the eyes of a vampire signifies the vampire is affected by bloodlust. Both Yami and his opponent were affected by bloodlust when they were fighting. So Yami's opponent could be nearly anybody at this point.

(Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-gi-oh, or any mythology in this story.)

"Yugi, time for dinner." Sugoroku Motou opened the door to Yugi's room, only to find Yugi bent over his desk, obsessing over a bunch of small golden puzzle pieces. Sugoroku stifled an urge to laugh. His grandson had been literally attached to the item ever since he had given it to Yugi after Sugoroku had found it in a digging site in Romania.

"Yugi, you've already spent six hours today on the thing. I think it's time for you to eat something." Sugoroku sighed; Yugi did not have much to do besides trying to solve the puzzle actually, only one other kid his age, a nice boy by the name of Ryou, dwelt at this Romanian dig. Unfortunately Ryou meanwhile was at a campsite further northward, leaving Yugi with no one to confide with.

"Yeh, sure. Just a few more minutes, Grandpa. I think I've almost finished with the puzzle." Sugoroku sighed again, nodded, and left the room. He then went to his rocking chair, and started thinking about his grandson.

Yugi was quite small for his age, but nonetheless brave in spirit. Sugoroku though believed Yugi was too superstitious, as he believed that if Yugi managed to solve the riddle of the puzzle, he would unlock something vast and powerful. Though Sugoroku did find signs of mass havoc and destruction around the site where he found the puzzle. Heck, these crazy folklore and legends had even affected the leader of the dig. He had even hired two bodyguards who were "trained" in fighting those imaginary blasted creatures, Jounouchi and Malik. Though Sugoroku had nothing against the pair, he believed they had no reason to be around the campsite.

They did have a special fondness for Yugi however, playing cards with him every time they got the chance. Yugi was like that, his kindness and generosity made it so easy for him to make friends. How could you resist those amethyst eyes?

Besides his loving personality, Yugi was also multi-talented. He possessed an extremely sharp wit, as well as fast reflexes. Yugi had experience as well with weaponry, he was well-versed in the art of guns and swords. You probably wouldn't expect that from a five-foot-and-a-half kid.

Currently both of them were in the deepest regions of Romania, on an archeological dig. The leader of the dig, a young man, by the name of Honda, had wanted them to explore the region, taking note of any artifacts that could be found. Why did he have to be in this region? He could've been in Egypt, along with the rest of his colleagues................. Wait a minute, Yugi still hadn't eaten dinner. At least Yugi's almost finished the puzzle, I'll be glad when all the nonsense is over with.

Sugoroku got up, and started walking again slowly toward their trailer. Opening Yugi's door, Sugoroku was met by a shout of "Yes, I finished it!"

Yugi was dancing around, holding a complete puzzle up in the air............. totally oblivious to the fact that the puzzle was turning a darker color, and mists were starting to emit from it. In instinct, Sugoroku grabbed Yugi, and ran out the trailer door. As Sugoroku jumped upon the ground, an explosion rocketed the trailer, shattering windows and objects alike.

Any mystical being within a thousand miles felt the sudden surge of energy come from the puzzle, whether it was the grizzled, white-haired vampire along the Grecian coast, the cobalt-eyed vampire with a freezing personality in nearby Bulgaria, even to the clan of vampires who lived near the campsite. If Yugi or Sugoroku had looked up, they would have seen two dark shadow-like mists coming out of the trailer, and then dispersing in the air.

Yugi slowly crept to a window, and looked inside his bedroom. Inside........ was the puzzle perfectly intact, not a bit of damage had been done to it. Yugi's room unfortunately was not in the same shape. The walls had burnt to splinters, the ceiling was gone, as well as most of the floor. Shards of glass were everywhere, fires started burning away at the trailer.

Several of their fellow archeologists came to investigate the explosion. "What happened here?" Honda inquired. "Yugi, Sugoroku, are you okay?"

Sugoroku was furious. "Do you know how much this is going to cost me in insurance costs? Yugi, you just blew up our trailer. Now that........" A wailing shriek rang through the air, causing Sugoroku to stop his monologue and look up. Five humanlike figures in the air were flying straight toward the campsite.

Honda's face turned white. "Take cover!"

Yugi ran to a storage box, opening it and started sorting this assorted weaponry. "Vampires, what weapons kill vampires." Yugi muttered softly, while taking out two automatic handguns and tossing a rifle to Sugoroku. "Hope these vampires like eating silver."

(Silver is another weakness of vampires. Silver weapons can kill vampires as well as werewolves and such if hit in vital organs)

"Take them down! Fire!" yelled Honda

.

Jounouchi and Malik were rushing to the main campsite, all the while hearing the deafening shrieks of the vampires. "Now, whose idea was it to go swimming? We could be fighting vamps by now, instead of running toward vamps," Malik snarled.

"Well at least the vampires have no sense at all of common ambush, so we don't have to look for them," Jounouchi countered. "Besides, who knew that you looked so good naked.

Malik got ready to throttle his friend, but suddenly stopped right in his tracks. "Umm.. Jou. Rethink that first thought." Two vampires had flown down right before the two warriors, looking quite dangerous and deadly.

"Damn this." Jounouchi took out a pistol and fired it, causing a billowing flame of fire toward the vampires. One of the vampires immediately shape-shifted into a giant wolf; while the other took flight. Jou's attack went harmlessly past the two vampires.

Malik, wielding two wooden stakes, charged the wolf, whom then morphed back into a normal vampire. "You know. That's really sick when you do that," Malik commented to the vampire. Jou meanwhile took out a silver dagger, while fingering something in his pocket.

The airborne vampire flew toward Jou, its fangs dripping with anticipation as it gazed upon Jounouchi's slender neck. Jou tossed the dagger, which the vampire easily dodged, and kept on coming. As the vampire neared, Jou shrugged, and took out a small capsule, then tossed it nonchalantly at it. The vampire halted, confused. As the capsule made contact with the vampire, the vampire started, in effect, actually to literally sizzle. Jou watched as the vampire started melting away, eventually into liquid and nothingness.

"Jou, what was that capsule-thing," Malik yelled while shooting off rounds with a semiautomatic machine gun at a full-fledged fang-bearing grizzly bear. "That capsule was a mixture of fire, melted silver, garlic, and holy water. Everything a vampire hates and dislikes, packaged into one handy weapon. Oh yeah, do you need help Malik?"

"I..... Don't....... Need.......... Your......... Help.......... Die.... You........... Piece.......... Of......... Vampire.......... Shit.........." Malik charged after the grizzly bear, with a sword upraised, screaming a battle cry.

Jou shrugged his shoulders, "Suit yourself."

While fighting the shape-shifting vampire, Malik never saw Jou's body suddenly fall down limp, and disappear.

Yugi inserted a silver bullet into his pistol, and fired. The bullet passed right a vampire's head, causing it to fall down like a rock. "This is easier than I thought," Yugi smiled to himself as he reloaded. "What the........"

Another vampire swooped past Yugi, its fangs narrowly missing Yugi's tiny neck. Its swoop however had knocked Yugi's guns away from him. The vampire then dismounted, sheathed its wings, and faced the small teen. "So, you want to go old-school, eh?" Yugi crouched into fighting position, "I can handle that."

The vampire rushed Yugi, who kicked up a bunch of dirt at a surprised vampire. The vampire cleared its eyes and looked around, bewildered. A punch at the back of his head caused the vampire to stutter forward slightly, but then quickly regained balance. "Great, these guys aren't easy when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, are they?" Yugi grumbled. "Guess I'll have to do the other alternative."

The vampire ran forward, its fangs bared. To the vampire, it seemed that Yugi was running away. The vampire smiled, licked his teeth, and let out a devastating swoop toward the small tri-colored haired boy. It just didn't notice what Yugi was running towards, two handguns on the ground.

But before Yugi could reach the weapons, a foot stepped upon them. Another vampire had come before Yugi, blocking his means of winning the fight. Yugi looked around, a slight trace of fear in his eyes. Both vampires' fangs grew longer, anticipating a meal. Sugoroku came toward the vampires, his rifle blazing bullets. Unfortunately, Sugoroku just couldn't dodge the rock that the vampire threw at him, knocking the grandfather unconscious.

The vampires started approaching Yugi, who looked ready to die. As Yugi turned to face one of the vampires, the other suddenly flew towards Yugi at light speed, its teeth aimed directly at the soft neck. Yugi snapped his eyes shut, ready for the end.................

A fireball consumed the attacking vampire, knocking Yugi to the ground, causing both Yugi and the other vampire to gape and stare. The remaining vampire took flight at an instant, hoping to outrun the powerful entity. Before Yugi's eyes, a man suddenly jumped in front of the sprawled Yugi and tossed a silver stake right at the retreating vampire. It connected directly with the vampire's heart, killing it instantly.

As the smoke cleared, the man turned behind to face Yugi, who was flabbergasted. For one, his rescuer looked almost exactly like himself, and two, he rescuer looked dead-sexy. "Hello, young one. I'm Yami," spoke Yugi's savior. For some reason, Yugi couldn't even stand up, and it wasn't from exhaustion. "He.ee.lloooo, Yami. I.. I'm Yu.. Yugi." Yami grinned from seeing Yugi's embarrassment and stuttering.

"I watched a little bit Yugi. You must be one skilled fighter, I don't know much people who could take on a vampire." Yugi's face turned a brilliant shade of red, and his body started shaking uncontrollably. "Thankkk..Thankkkks, Ya... Yamii. But.. How did you do that...., you know killing those vampiresss....... Are you some sort of god or something like that........ You look like one."

Yami smiled at Yugi's comment, but then frowned ever so slightly, his mind desperately trying to formulate a good excuse. "Well, I'm a pretty good marksman, lets just say that; and for that explosion, I just fired a flamethrower at it, it's no big. I'm no god or anything like that. I'm a just a normal human being." Yami suddenly felt the presence of a familiar someone else near him. "Hey, Yugi, I need to leave for a few minutes, need to find any other vampires still around. Don't worry, I'll see you later."

As Yugi nodded and wobbled away, Yami grumbled to himself. "Man that was a close one. A flamethrower. Yami, where did you ever think that one up? At least it worked, I can't bear the thought of him finding out who I really am. Now, Seto. I just felt you just moments ago, now where are you?" Yami looked around, and seeing no one; Yami's dark wings sprouted up out of his back.

(If you can't tell.... Yami made the flamethrower story up.)

As Yami started flying away, a dark figure stood watching him. "So, this is where all the paths lead. Through all that torture and pain of being entrapped in that puzzle, I've finally been freed, along with you however. Right here, over four-hundred years later, but in the same place where it ended so long ago. You've found your lover again Yami, haven't you, the reborn of the one I killed.

And I'll be watching you, Yami. You and your pathetic human lover. I'll be happy to take away that human life again, as well as the life I should have taken away four hundred years ago. Yours............................"
