Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Everyone can Love ❯ Foreseeing ( Chapter 2 )

[Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh, or any mythology in this story.

Yami's crimson eyes gazed everywhere, searching for his old friend. It was bad enough that Yami had to search for Seto in the forest. Unfortunately, Seto was skilled as well at the art of eluding and hiding; Seto's vampire body exuded a natural aura that confused trackers and pursuers of him. But even if an enemy did find him, Seto had the skill and strength to pound nearly any vampire into the ground.

"Great, I've lost sense of him," Yami griped. "That's it; let's just have him come to me instead."

Yami let out a small burst of energy from his body, tiny enough to not be noticed by mortals, but large enough to attract the attention of his old companion if he was in the area. Yami looked around, still seeing no one, and after waiting a few minutes, began to tap his foot impatiently.

"Damn you Kaiba, you just have to make it hard for me."

"Well, if you turn around, I believe you'll find the person you're looking for, `old friend'."

Yami suddenly whipped around and aimed a punch right at Seto's nose. Seto quickly caught Yami's fist, but his face grimaced at the impact.

"You still have the old strength, don't you Yami. Should've known. Even trapped within an item the size of a tissue box you still managed to keep your power," Seto remarked. "Well I guess this is a nice and civil reunion for us. You trying to kill me where I stand."

Yami angrily threw down his fist, but then Yami suddenly jumped and started hugging his longtime friend. "I've missed you so much, Seto........"

Seto nodded and embraced him back. "I missed you too, Yami.... Yami, come with me to eat dinner, I need to talk with you. I don't think it's that safe, a dark power seems to overshadow this place."

Yami agreed and started following Seto.

"What have you been up to Seto, all these years and all while I've been gone," asked Yami.

"Well, not much really. After you and "him" both got sealed within The Puzzle, and the aura surrounding the area you fought prevented us from retrieving The Puzzle, I and Bakura haven't been doing much lately. Bakura in the early times traveled everywhere as a mercenary, but eventually settled down as a fisherman in Greece."

Yami started laughing hysterically, and Seto smiled as well. "I know; I never let Bakura live that down. Anyways for me I've just been roaming around Europe, not doing a great deal of anything. Don't worry you'll see Bakura soon. I told him where you are, but it'll take him a few days to get here, he doesn't know apparition."

"What are these new weapons I see, Seto? They don't look like anything I've ever seen before."

"What, you don't think technology has gone anywhere for well over four-hundred years? Yami, steel towers live in Western cities, a single weapon now can destroy over a hundred square miles of land. Luckily anti-vampire weapons haven't gone very far, you only have to watch for the silver weapons. Wait a minute, you aren't affected by silver are you? Never mind. But there is something you need worry about."

(Certain powerful vampires may be exempt from certain weaknesses, and are unaffected by items which might kill a normal vampire.)

Yami grimaced, "What?"

"I sensed something along with your life force escaping from The Puzzle, I did not what it was, but I've a feeling it is "him"."

Yami's heart skipped a beat. "Are you positive?"

"Not really. But keep an eye open always; we cannot take any chances with that vampire. Ahh, here's the cave. Dinner's ready if you don't mind. You can take the first bite if you want to."

Yami frowned as he entered the cave, "What are you talking about, Seto?"

Seto smiled. "I captured this human boy a little south of here. Looks quite delicious doesn't he? Well, come on, I'm offering you the first bite."

Yami looked around uncomfortably.

Malik lightly kicked the dead vampire's body, two stakes embedded within the vampire's heart. "There, that takes of that one," Malik spoke softly. "Wait a minute, where's Jou?"

Malik looked everywhere, but saw no Jounouchi. He wasn't where he was the last time Malik saw him, or everywhere else in eyesight range of Malik. "Damn, where could he have gone?"

Malik walked around a bit, and paused at a few burns marks upon the ground. Malik picked some ashes, and started to examine them. "These aren't fire ashes, these are ashes from magic use. That's it. Apparition. A vampire must have knocked Jou out and apparated both of them out of the area."

(Apparition is a type of magical transporting; a magical being could suddenly disappear, and then suddenly appear in an entirely different region.)

Malik sniffed the air, and looked north. "That's the way that vampire shit took Jounouchi."

The blond-haired vampire slayer began to quickly gather his weapons again, "Let's hunt some vampire."

With all the weapons that Malik could carry, he started running north as fast as he could. Toward the cave which held his friend, as well as two powerful vampires.

Honda surveyed the damage before him. His entire camp had been decimated by the vampire attack. Seven archeologists lay dead upon the ground, the blood sucked entirely out of their bodies.

Four vampire bodies also lay unmoving in the camp, but Honda heeded no concern to them. Sugoroku, massaging a swollen welt upon his head, walked up to the camp leader. "Honda, what do we do now. We can't stay here, that's much for certain, the remaining vampires will in all probability return."

Honda agreed. "Sugoroku, gather up you remaining possessions. Notify everybody else remaining here, we flee to the protection of the village castle of Averon. We need to get out of this place quickly."

Sugoroku nodded his head, and turned to see Yugi wobbling toward him. Yugi's grandpa immediately ran toward Yugi, and embraced him warmly. "Yugi, you're alive, I thought I lost you."

Yugi managed an awkward smile, causing Sugoroku to wonder what the matter with Yugi was. Wait a minute, had Yugi actually been bitten by a vampire? No, wait a minute. Yugi's blushed face, his sweating body, his unsteady walk, all pointed the fact that Yugi was in........

Sugoroku grinned broadly at Yugi. "Okay, Yugi, spit it out. What's the deal, who did you meet?"

Yugi froze. "Well.............................."

Yami looked at Seto and shook his head. "Sorry, I just can't drink blood anymore, at least not now.

Seto stared at Yami as if he was crazy. "What are you talking about Yami, clearly being in that puzzle for so long has clearly slowed you mind. You NEED blood to survive, you know that as well as I do."

Yami was still fidgeting hesitantly. "I.... I just can't."

Seto growled. "Yami, drink up or soon your body will force you to drink."

Yami stared at Seto, and then at Jounouchi. His mind clearly did not want to drink and kill the blond haired boy, but his body needed it. Yami closed his eyes, his mind desperately fighting his body's instincts. Yami knew he was one of the powerful vampires in the world, why couldn't he be able to control his impulses?

Jounouchi's neck looked like a paradise to Yami, causing him to salivate slightly. To Yami's body, Jounouchi's blood was a meal four-hundred years overdue, and bit by bit was slowly overpowering Yami's mind. Yami's eyes turned slightly more crimson, and he slowly started walking toward the body.

Yami's fangs started to grow, reaching its long length of three inches. Yami then positioned himself for the plunge, his fangs tensing up for the intake of blood. His fangs lifted up to strike.......................

A silver-tinted spear suddenly hurled towards Yami, causing Yami to turn and angrily deflect the weapon. But as Yami saw his opponent; both he and Seto jumped in amazement, each backing up.

But then Seto peered closely at the attacking figure. "Calm down Yami, it isn't "him"; it's just a normal human boy who looks like him. See? His hair is much more docile, not wild. Also, look at his eyes. It isn't half as narrowed as our adversary, it isn't "him".

Yami breathed a sigh of relief, but was met by Malik charging with two silver stakes in his hand. Yami leapt into the air, and Malik countered by throwing up his two weapons at the vampire.

Malik's eyes widened when Yami easily caught the two weapons in his hands and threw them back at him. The two stakes hit Malik's sides, pinning him to the cave wall. Seto grinned and started walking towards the pinned warrior. Malik acted as if he was defeated, but as Seto approached Malik lifted up his major hidden weapon, the Cross of Crucifix, right up to Seto's face.

(The Cross of Crucifix is the likeness of a cross with Christ upon it. Any vampire had either voluntary or not, a magical pact with The Demon, causing most normal vampires to wither before the magical power bestowed upon the object.)

Seto's pupils enlarged, but with a mighty sweep of his hand disabled it, knocking it away from Malik's hand. Malik's jaw dropped open, his head starting to swirl in fear. Seto leaned over to Malik's smooth and silky neck, ready to take a bite.

"Yami, where are you? Yami?" Yami stood up suddenly, recognizing the voice. Yugi. Yami, immediately telepathically told Seto, as much as he could about who the approaching boy was.

Seto nodded quickly and then proceeded to knock out Malik with a punch, unpin him from the wall, and pretended to tend to him, all the while wiping his memory clean of the incident. Yami meanwhile emerged from the cave entrance.

Yugi immediately seeing Yami ran a breakneck speed toward him, and when reaching him hugged him as he could. "I missed you so much Yamiiiii. I thought you were in trouble or in danger."

Yami hugged him back, and gestured Yugi toward the cave interior. Yugi, upon seeing Malik and Jounouchi unconscious, rushed to their sides. "What happened to them, Yami? What happened?"

"I found their fainted bodies somewhere around here, they seemed to be hurt, so me and Seto over there were just tending to them when you arrived," Yami responded. "Seto's an old friend of mine, from the East. We were just walking together when we came upon them."

Yugi's eyes were glistening in tears. "Thank you for saving them, Yami... I don't know what I would've if they were killed."

Yami's heart suddenly panged from guilt, but managed to answer. "You're welcome Yugi, now, go back to the camp and get some medics over here."

Yugi bobbed his head up and down and rushed out of the cave. Seto leaned toward a grim Yami. "I lied to him, again Seto. I just can't take all of this guilt."

Seto agreed. "You can't lie to him forever, Yami. Sooner or later he'll find out the truth, why not just tell it to him and get it over with?"

Yami looked up, a surprised look on his face. "Then what? Tell him I'm a bloodthirsty vampire who can't even restrain himself from drinking blood. A vampire who had lied to him every step of the way to gain his trust? I can't let him go through that pain, he would never forgive me."

"You are willing to lie entirely through your relationship, AGAIN? Remember four hundred years, you never told your lover about your true nature. Look what happened to him! He was killed naïve and unknowing because he didn't know the dangers of being in a relationship with you! You're willing to risk that again, his death?" Seto seethed angrily.

"Seto. I'm sorry. But I cannot lose him again. I've finally found him again, and we might be able to be together like last time. I just have to take the chance," Yami replied sadly.

Seto shook his head slowly. "This is all going to end in ill."

Fifteen days later......................................

Diary of Seto Kaiba:

November 13, 2004:

`The twelve day of our journey to the village fortress of Averon. Yami has ignored my advice to tell Yugi of him being a vampire. However, Yami and Yugi are steadily gaining a real and close relationship. Wherever Yami is, Yugi is also, and vice versa. They are very intimate together now, everyone in the caravan knows that they are officially boyfriend, and well....... boyfriend. Yugi got his first kiss with Yami a few days ago, right in front of me too. I wouldn't have hurled if their lovemaking had lasted under a minute.

Luckily both Yami and I had immune to the power of the sunlight, or else the humans might become suspicious.

Unfortunately I feel a shadow brewing in the distance. If it is who I think it is, we all are doomed, no question about it. Yami is so obsessed with his love for Yugi that he doesn't even notice it.

I just got a message from Bakura, he says he traveling to Averon as well, with a different caravan however. Bakura also told me that he had found a human boyfriend as well, a boy by the name of Ryou. Poor kid.

I am however happy that I do NOT have a boyfriend. Yami keeps on hinting that I like that dog, Jounouchi. Very funny, I'll rather have ten kilos of garlic in my veins then go on a date with that mongrel.

Great, now I hear noises coming from the other room. Better get out of here before Yugi and Yami start really getting it on.'

Seto Kaiba

Seto stood out in the moonlight, watching the moon closely. Noticing that the moon would be full the next day, Seto decided to keep that in mind. Seto was starving, a diet of just rodents really got a vampire's stomach grumbling. Damn Yami, for making him swear that he would never eat one of the caravan humans.

(Just remember. What mythical creature appears when there is a full moon?)

Life was extremely boring when your only two friends were preoccupied with making out with their boyfriends. With his disdain for mortal humans, Seto could never bring himself to befriend a human being.

"Hey, you there. What are ya doing?" Seto turned around to see Jounouchi hacking away at dense brush to get to him. "It's nearly midnight, why are you up so late?"

Seto sneered at the blond haired boy. "I just happen to be taking a midnight stroll puppy, what pray tell are you doing here?"

Jounouchi gritted his teeth. "I'm on guard duty tonight," he retorted.

"Guard duty against what? There aren't any raiders or robbers in this part of the country."

"For your information I happened to be on watch for vampires, werewolves, and the like," Jounouchi replied.

Seto let a steel-sounding chuckle. "You actually think you can handle fighting a werewolf, or even a powerful vampire for that matter? You couldn't stand five seconds against a creature such as those."

"Ah, shut your trap. I have better things ta do besides arguing with a cocky moron like you." Jounouchi turned and left.

If Seto had been paying more attention, he would have noticed Jounouchi had a small tinge of red upon his cheek.

When Jounouchi had gone, Seto shrugged. "Anyways, time to eat."

With his wings sprouting, Seto jumped and flew into the air, searching for any hapless prey that would be unfortunate enough to come in his wake.

"Master, how much more long must we wait?" asked a blood-red eyed vampire. "The creatures are getting restless. We may not be able to keep control of them for much longer."

Another vampire hidden in the dark scowled at the other, who backed away terrified. "Fine, if you must, send out a few to attack both the southern and northern caravans. Also send the controllable Alpha beasts; it's a full moon tomorrow, let see how Yami can parry off one of the most dangerous species in Romania. One more thing, tell the Beta beasts to capture Yami's lover alive and unharmed. I have special plans for that one myself."

(Alpha werewolves are just your typical average werewolf; they come to life by the full moon, and are gifted with amazing strength, incredible reflexes, and astounding senses. Beta werewolves on the other hand, were quite special. Able to control the timing of the appearance of the werewolf form, they, besides the powers of a normal Alpha werewolf, were also given psychic and sometimes even supernatural abilities.)

As the other vampire nodded and quickly scurried away, the other hidden vampire muttered to himself. "Yami, Yami, Yami. You are so unaware of my plans. You've no idea how that much that's going to cost you. I had wished to kill you face-to-face, but death by werewolf is horrible enough, especially for the likes of you."

The vampire looked up at the almost-full moon lit in a darkened sky. "The incident over four hundred years ago was just a chapter ending. This time Yami, this chapter will end the story."

The ancient vampire then spread his wings and took off into the night. "Now, I have business to attend to."

[Anyways, please review. And I'll try to put a Yami/Yugi scene in the next chapter.]
