Hollow Destiny

Chapter two: Lavendey Eyes

By Embodiment_of_Sekhmet


...Lavender eyes...

"YUGI MOTOU!!" A voice yells and the youth in the bed snapped awake from his dream.

He sat up and stared at his grandfather, who was standing by the doorway looking very cross.

"It's ten o'clock in the afternoon young man! I think it's about time you got up!" He yelled.
Yugi eyes widened and he shot out of bed.

"Did Yami leave already?!" He asked.

"No I haven't left yet Yugi..." A strong voice answered from behind Yugi's grandpa.
A young man with bright crimson colored eyes stepped into the doorway. He wore a black t-shirt and black jeans. Around his neck he wore a golden upside down pyramid shaped pendant that hung off a brown cord.
Yugi smiled and ran to his older brother.

"I'm glad you didn't leave without saying good bye to me first Yami..." Yugi hesitantly gave Yami a hug.

"I'll miss you." He muttered into Yami's shirt shuddering at the strong smell of blood that came off of his brother.

Yami didn't notice.

"Not has much has I'm going to miss you aibou..." He muttered returning the hug.

"Take care of grandpa will you?"

"Sure."


---
One week...

It had been one week since Yami left.

And Yugi felt extremely paranoid...

Things where just too quiet, there hadn't been any accidents in town, none of the school bullies where picking on him, Grandpa seemed to be acting less edgy.

It was as if something was just waiting to happen.

"Hey Yuge, you okay man?"

Yugi blinked and looked up at his best friend.

Joey Wheeler smiled down at him, his brown eyes glimmering.

"You kinda zoned out for a minute der Yuge, you okay?"
Yugi nodded.

"I was just thinking about my brother, that's all." Yugi replied.
Joey nodded.

"So, you wanna go with me tah the arcade today? Ryou said he'd be there..." Joey asked.

Yugi blushed thinking about his white-haired friend. He had had a crush on him ever since they first met. The boy was absolutely gorgeous, with his long white hair and doey brown eyes. He was a transfer student from England and was as quiet has a mouse.

"Nah, I have to go home and work on the report my teacher gave me. But Grandpa's going away for a few weeks so I'll have plenty of time to hang out during this vacation." Yugi replied.

Joey smiled and slapped him on the back in a friendly manner.

"It's okay Yuge. I'll call yha tomorrow kay?"
Yugi nodded and started off toward his house. Funny how Joey never asked about Yami. Ever since they had first met Joey seemed to be all buddy-buddy with his brother, Yugi would imagine that he would at lest wonder what happened to him.

Yugi turned a corner and smiled when he saw his house.

He would start his project later, all he wanted to do when he got in was take a nice warm shower.

"Did you really think you would get away with your crimes? Our Pharaoh is not at all pleased with your behavior!" A sinister voice hissed from an alleyway Yugi was just about to go by.
Yugi stopped and listened by the entryway to the alley.
There was a pained grunt has Yugi heard the sound of metal clanging against the brick wall.

"There, your punishment is done, now you are cleared of all crimes... If you survive this, which I seriously doubt in your condition, you are free to roam has you please." The voice laughed and growled.

"Good luck in the shadow realm!" It snapped before Yugi heard an odd whistling noise.

A few minutes later Yugi finally gathered enough courage to peek into the alleyway.

His eyes widened and he gasped has he did.

A teenage boy, a little older then himself was pinned against the wall by a sliver sword which was rammed through his chest. He was wearing a ripped black shirt, torn brown pants and the remains of a purple cloak around his shoulders. Blood covered most of his tan skin along with several golden adornments. He had messy sandy blonde hair which was matted and covered his face.

Yugi watched in fascination has his chest rose up and fell despite the sword.

The teenager finally coughed shaking Yugi from his daze and he slowly and hestiantly made his way over to the boy.

He was nearly there when the boy snapped his head up making Yugi jump.

Yugi gasped has he gazed into the boys eyes.

They were lavender, with nearly no pupil and outlined in kohl. He also had long eyelashes and... Odd engravings under each eye which made his eyelashes look hooked.

He stared at Yugi for a moment before coughing and letting his head slump back down onto his chest.

Yugi shook his head and kneeled in front of the boy he reached up and touched the tip of the sword, which pinned the other to the wall.

His finger tips immediately felt has if they where being burned and he pulled them away quickly.

He frowned and noticed that there was nothing wrong with his hands.

He tried again, this time grabbing the sword by the hilt. The burning sensation did not return and Yugi held his hand there a few moments before giving the sword a slight tug.

The sword moved a little, making the boy grunt in discomfort. Yugi frowned and pulled at the sword a little harder and was surprised when it came right out.

The boy slumped forward, falling onto Yugi who yelped in surprise.

Yugi slid out from under the teenager and tried to pull him up. He managed to drape the boy’s arm over his shoulder and drag him out of the alleyway.

The boy groaned has Yugi dragged him toward his house. Yugi sighed and brought him inside. He dragged the boy into the living room and set him down on the sofa.

He touched the boy's chest and the boy hissed in pain. Yugi carefully removed his shirt and gasped.
The hole where he had been stabbed was almost completely healed. Yugi took a step back and gazed at the boy.

He moaned and rolled over on the couch and Yugi watched him carefully. The only time he'd ever seen someone heal that fast was when his older brother had sliced his own leg with a knife on accident.

Yugi had put his hand on Yami's leg to stop the bleeding while he yelled for help only to realize a minute later that it had already healed...

Could that mean that...

Yugi hesitantly walked over to the boy and gently tried to open his mouth. He pulled the boy's lip back to reveal a pair of pearly white fangs.

He was a vampire...

And he was wide-awake and glaring at Yugi, his lavender eyes burning with hate. He grabbed Yugi's wrist.

"What do you think you're doing?!" He snapped angrily.
Yugi surprised himself by not panicking.

"I wanted to see if you really where a vampire or not..." He said quietly. The vampire sat up and hissed.

"How the hell did I get here? Last thing I remember was Diaos striking me down and... Seeing pools of deep amethyst..." He said.

Yugi blushed slightly.

Deep pools of amethyst, well there was a poetic way to describe the color of his eyes.

The vampire took notice of this and his eyes widened.

"You?! You saved me? But how- where is the sword?!" He asked.
Yugi blinked.

What had happened to the sword? Yugi didn't remember ever letting it go, but he had used both hands to drag the vampire in.
Yugi glanced at his other hand and the sword was there, has if had never left his hand.

The vampire snatched it from Yugi and hissed has his fingers began to burn. But he continued to hold the blade.

"You pulled this out of me... And merged it with your soul..." He gazed at Yugi for a moment before touching his chest. He gasped and nearly dropped the sword.

"You healed me has well! How?!" He demanded.

"I don't know what you’re talking about! I-" Yugi was cut off has the vampire sprung off the sofa and tackled him to the ground. Yugi tried to scream and get out from underneath the vampire but he was pinned, and his mouth had been covered with the vampires other hand.

"Quiet!" He hissed. "Diaos is about..."
Yugi whimpered with fear has the vampire pressed against him.
He began to shake, the feeling of dread and fear quickly creeping up his spine. His violet eyes watered and sweat trickled down his neck.

Something was in the house...

Something evil...

"Come out, come out where ever you are! I know you're here! I don't know how you escaped, but I can guarantee it won't happen again!" A sinister voice called. The same sinister voice that Yugi had heard in the alleyway.

"Diaos..." The vampire hissed.

In a flash the vampire was off of Yugi and dashing quietly up the stairs. The sword had been left on the ground. Yugi touched it and it disappeared.

He sat up and was about to call after the vampire when he smelt it...

It was foul and made his eyes water. It made him want to throw up.

It smelt like blood and milk that had been sitting out for to long. It was over powering, and Yugi coughed and gagged on it.

"Well, well, well, what have we here? A poor little mortal boy?"
Yugi coughed and looked up.

A tall man with fiery red eyes and saffron colored hair loamed above him. He was wearing a black cape and was grinning like mad. His teeth where a disgusting shade of yellow and he had a set of long fangs.

Yugi whimpered and tried to back up but another fit of coughing and hacking made it hard for him to move.

The man reached down and grabbed Yugi by the throat. Lifting Yugi into the air he snickered.

"Poor little mortal, you won't live to see another day..." He hissed.
Yugi whimpered has he felt the grip around his neck tighten.

"Put him down Diaos!"

Diaos hissed and turned toward the stairs. The other vampire was standing there growling at him.

"Help!" Yugi managed to squeak seeing the other standing there.
Diaos laughed.

"What's this? The great Falcon cares about a mere mortal’s existence? Oh, how far you have fallen!"

The vampire growled and lunged at Diaos who threw Yugi at him.
Yugi crashed into him sending them both crashing into the wall.
Diaos smirked.

"Duty calls, however I will be back!" He sneered and in a puff of smoke and whistling noise, he was gone.

Yugi was roughly shoved off of the other vampire and onto the floor. He coughed and curled up into a ball.

"Get up boy! He didn't even hurt you!" The vampire hissed.
Yugi went into another coughing fit and shivered.

"I'm cold..." Yugi muttered closing his eyes. He shivered once more before he passed out.

And he dreamed...
He dreamed of a pair of twins...
Both had a grand future in store for them...
Until one was chosen to become part of the Pharaoh’s court and the other wasn't...
He was left to fade away, betrayed by his brother and family...
He was wandering in a vast desert, his lavender eyes dim, when someone called his name...
...Mariku...
