Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Passion and Blood ❯ Chapter 8

A/N: I know, P&B is getting to be a real pain when it comes to stopping points. Oh well, too bad for you. This is my third to last chapter! *Cheers* I know, it sucks that the whole story is only ten chapters long. Once again, that is how I planned it!! If you guys have a problem with it, too bad! If you have a problem with it not having a lemon, wait for the two PWP side-stories to come out!

Passion and Blood

Chapter 8

Yuugi walked down the stairs. It was a new day, the first real day that he never had to listen to anybody. But that didn't stop him from grieving for his mother and grandfather. Nothing would stop him from doing that. Yuugi just felt that perhaps now that the initial shock was over with, he'd be able to start moving on.

Walking out into the living room, he saw two figures together on the couch. Yuugi couldn't help but start laughing; it was a perfect Kodak moment! Jounouchi was snuggled into Seto's chest. Seto, in turn, was protectively holding Jou, muttering something in his sleep about puppies.

Yami came out of the library. "Yuugi, you're awake!" Yuugi gave Yami a glare that clearly said 'Shut your mouth and just get over here!' The former pharaoh promptly complied with his lover's silent demand. When he saw the scene, he burst out into laughter, waking the slumbering pair.

"What the hell…?" Jounouchi mumbled, not fully awake yet.

"Yami, go away right now or I will personally come over there and kick your ass," Seto called out, but not moving away from his spot beside Jounouchi.

"I don't know, Seto; you look pretty comfortable there with Jou. I don't think he'll want you to move. But can I ask what puppies have to do with anything? You were talking about them in your sleep," Yuugi prodded.

Jou heard that comment and turned a shade of red normally reserved for stop signs. Yami noticed this and dissolved into giggles. "I have a feeling that the term has a sexual connotation for the two of you?" Yami managed to gasp out between fits of laughter while holding his sides.

"I find the fact that someone who still has the bearing of the pharaoh he once was would let himself give in to something so childish as giggling!" Seto shot back.

Yuugi let himself forget about the previous day and just laughed at the sight of Yami giving in to giggles. --You do realize that you giggling has a certain irony to it, don't you?-- Yuugi asked telepathically.

--Oh, shut up!-- Yami shot back.

"Yuugi, you seem to be in a better mood," Jounouchi observed.

"Yeah, I did kind of need the rest. It got a few things off my mind. Ano, Jounouchi-kun? What did Yami tell you last night?"

"About what the two of you are. Kinda creepy, to tell the truth. But after seeing him go through that kind of pain just for you, I know that he's worth spending your life with. I wish I had someone to spend the rest of my life with…"

Yami motioned towards Seto. "Why not him?"

Jounouchi made a face. "Who, Kaiba? If I spent the rest of my life with this rich little prick, my dad would pitch a fit. It'd be better if we were only…" Jounouchi tried to think of a term that didn't sound too vulgar.

"Casual partners?" Seto provided.

"Yeah, well, however you wanna say it, it still means the same thing. Hey, what's the weather gonna be like today? I've gotta walk home, you know."

Yami turned on the T.V., only to be shocked at what he saw. Anzu and Hiroto's school pictures on the screen, followed by a time of death. "Anzu-chan… Honda-kun…" Yuugi whispered, clenching his fists.

Yami held Yuugi in his arms, comforting the smaller boy. "I'll find whoever did this to them…" Yuugi said under his breath.

"Aibou…" Yami startled himself; it was the first time he had ever used the term to describe Yuugi, but it felt right.

Yuugi was trembling, and at first Yami thought it was from shock or fear; he wasn't expecting that Yuugi was trying to hold his anger in check. "Yami, you know who killed them, don't you? Tell me who it is! I'm going to kill them for ruining my life like this!" Crimson was bleeding into Yuugi's amethyst eyes, changing back and forth between the two colors, making it seem like his eyes were flashing.

Yami noticed this, but its significance didn't register in his mind. "Yuugi, you can't just go out and…"

"I can, and I will. I'm going to savor every drop of blood that I drink from him. Tell me who it is, Yami!"

Yami closed his eyes. Yuugi wasn't going to give in, and it was pointless to try and stop him. "I don't know what he looks like in this life, but…"

The front door slammed open, revealing a teen with shocking silver hair and deep chocolate brown eyes. "So, this is where the flock has gathered. Thank you so much for huddling together in one place, it makes my revenge that much sweeter…" The teen's voice was harsh and cruel, and had a grating quality to Yami and Yuugi's sensitive ears.

"Yuugi, Bakura is dangerous even to the two of us. Tread your path with caution, aibou. I don't want to lose you," Yami whispered.

MR: XD XD XD EVIL CLIFFY!!! Next chapter's cliffhanger will be even more evil, because that one was planned even before the second chapter of the original P&B was written. O.O; that was at least a couple of years ago… Which only makes the cliffy next chapter even MORE evil! XD haha to the readers!
