Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Snow ❯ Auras and Trances ( Chapter 7 )

Snow

 

 

Ryou gasped, when another arrow passed him. “What is going on? Bakura?” He was almost crying. Bakura cursed. “Wonderful. Just what I needed right now. Another bunch of amateurs after my head.” He growled, standing up quickly and grabbing the arrows that came flying at him. He jumped out of the window disappearing into the night. Malik scowled. “That show off!!” He followed Bakura out of the window, leaving Ryou behind.

 

Ryou whimpered. “Why do they always leave me alone?!” He scrambled up and ran for the door. He squealed, when a vampire came flying through the walls. “Holly---!!” He jumped, as a hand descended on his shoulder. He whipped around to be faced with Bakura. “We've got to get out of here! Now!” Bakura led Ryou outside and shoved him into a narrow alley. “Stay here!”

 

Ryou nodded, shaking in fear, as he watched Malik and Bakura fend off the priizhas and other vampires of the desert. He closed his eyes, trying to remember his mother in times of hardship.

 

“Uh, what was it mamma always said? Oh, yeah... Vampires came out on the streets tonight. It's not safe to walk in the dark.”

 

Bakura turned to the slow chanting. “Ryou?! What the fuck are you doing? It's not time to recite poetry from your mother!” He screamed, but was ignored.

 

“---And only a lonely witch walks the streets---” Malik turned to Bakura.

 

“Kura, we have to protect Ryou!” Bakura huffed. “I know that! What is that little idiot doing?!!”

 

“---For vampires won't touch her---”

 

Bakura and Malik slashed at the vampires who were closing in on the oblivious Ryou.

 

“---So unholy is her blood---”

 

Bakura panted, when he finally reached Ryou. “Ryou! Snap out of it!” He cupped Ryou's cheek, but the boy didn't react. He turned around to see how Malik was doing. This is getting too out of hand. The white haired vampire thought. “Fuck!” He cried out, when another vampire tried to slash at him. He pushed Ryou away. “Move! Damn you!”

 

“---The evils have damned her tonight---”

 

Bakura was getting desperate. “Ryou!” He yelled, as he dodged another hit and sank his claws into the unfortunate one's heart.

 

“---God, nor human, nor a monster she is---”

 

Ryou's eyes turned completely blank, as he continued his chant.

 

“---Being baptized is not her fear---”

 

Bakura gasped, when Malik stumbled and fell on him. “Get off.” He muttered, but before he could get up, someone yanked his hair harshly. “Sooo, the almighty Bakura found himself a little human, eh?” Bakura growled. “Shut up, fucker.” He head-butted the insolent vampire and pounced into the fight.

 

“---Nor the curse of a bloody night---”

 

He heard someone screaming and whipped his head to where Ryou lay on the ground. Bakura's mouth fell open. What in the name of---? He stared, as Ryou's body suddenly emitted a red glow. He watched the boy get up. Red aura increasing. B-but, only... Vampires have auras!! What the hell is going on? Malik decided to state the obvious at that moment. “Bakura? Aren't only vampires supposed to emit auras?”

 

Bakura was too transfixed in the ethereal, red glow to hear Malik's question. Otherwise, he would've thrown some snide remark at the vampiric youth.

 

Ryou's eyes were closed, as he stepped over the charred ground, his feet not really touching the it. Wherever he touched, fire burst out. His eyes opened to reveal two, burning pools of blood. He smiled. “I am not afraid~, of the dark nightmare, please spare my life dear, I don't wanna die~.”

 

The childish song continued, sending chilled shivers down Bakura's spine. “Oh, my God...” He whispered, grabbing Malik's sleeve. “We've gotta get out of here! Fast!” He dragged Malik through the band of hypnotized vampires. “But-but... What about Ryou?” Questioned Malik, when they passed the inn and into the charred, desert of what once was revolution.

 

Bakura stopped running to catch his breath. He turned to Malik. “Don't you get it? Ryou is the danger!” He screamed. Malik blinked. “What? But how? What do you mean?” Yeah, he was confused as hell. Bakura let out an irritated sigh. “Where did he learn that? How could he know that-that... What's with the aura? How can he go into a fucking trance?!” The vampire stormed, as his thoughts confused him even further. Malik could do nothing, but watch in disbelief, as his partner went crazy with uncertainty.

 

He placed a hand on Bakura's shoulder, who immediately stiffened. “Bakura? Please, calm down.” Bakura seethed. “Calm? Calm down?! How can I calm down? Ryou is in a fricking trance and I don't even know how!!” Malik cringed. “Yes, I understand your problem, but please calm down.” Bakura exclaimed one last time and flopped heavily onto the ground.

 

Malik felt like crying. Bakura never acted like this! He was always a picture of calm and quite. Vicious and hyper, but never quite like this. He was never this explosive and panicky. Bakura was his anchor to the real world and sanity, but what if Bakura went crazy himself? Who would save him?

 

Malik wrapped his arms around Bakura's shoulders. “We'll wait here until Ryou wakes up. Then, we can maybe get some answers.” Bakura nodded. “Yeah.” Suddenly his head shot up. “Shit!” Malik looked at him quizzically. “What is it?” He asked, trying to maintain calm. Bakura looked really scared for some unknown reason. “Ryou! He not only is a danger to us, but he may be a danger to himself. We have to keep an eye on him.” Malik nodded, as Bakura helped him up.

 

The Egyptian sighed. “Let's go.”
