Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Supernatural Yamis, Normal Hikaries ❯ Finding Yami. Memories. ( Chapter 5 )

Malik ran as fast as he could to Ryou's place, until he noticed that is was sunrise. “No! Where is his place?!” he said getting into a dark alley and dressed up for sun protection.

Malik walked around, wondering… Where was his place? How could I forget? Malik thought as he passed a few people cautiously. Where?! Malik banged his head on a wall. Malik blinked. Wait it was an apartment! He ran off to the first apartment spot he thought of, surprisingly, it was the right one on the first try; he looked at the names on each apartment room. So they have names written on then do they? Malik thought grinning, as he read them all finding `Ryou Bakura' on one, I've found you little one.

Ryou stood in his apartment hallway and suddenly looked at his door. He left me here… and never hurt me, is he back? Ryou thought, walking a bit closer to the door. N-no, it can't be, vampires can't go in the sunlight. Ryou stared at the door; he had just woken up a few minutes ago, still in his pajamas he reached for the door. Malik suddenly appeared in front of him.

“I knew I'd find you're place again, not to hurt you, but to be with you, Ryou-chan.” Malik said putting down his hood.

“N-n-no!” Ryou screamed, falling on the floor.

“Nooooo, you will not do anything, I am not going to hurt you! Someone like you doesn't deserve it!” Malik said slowly walking closer to Ryou.

“Y-you wouldn't? W-why?” Ryou put his hand on the wall and lifted himself up. “Aren't all vampires against humans?”

“You think I wouldn't have brought you back or even let you live this long if I was like that?” Malik said crossing his arms, then took his cape off.

“Oh… so I was worrying for nothing?” Ryou asked looking down at Malik's feet.

“Yes… why are you looking at my feet? It's not like my eyes are going to do anything”

“…seems like they did something to Marik when your friend touched him and looked into his eyes,” Ryou said looking away, Malik held Ryou's face. Ryou looked up at Malik innocently.

“That wasn't his eyes,” Malik said kissing Ryou on his lips. Ryou wanted to resist, but somehow he didn't feel like doing it.

Ryou continued kissing, forgetting that he was kissing a vampire that had just entered his house. Ryou held Malik's hand. “It wasn't… are you alone?”

Malik kissed Ryou again lightly. “I am the only one here, no one else, and your friend is alright, somewhat, but he's fine.”

“…you said you loved me didn't you…”

“Yes, I did… Ryou-chan.”

“M-Marik is the only friends I have, will you be my friend and lover?” Ryou said placing both hands around Malik's face. Is that other vampire your only friend?”

Malik backed away slightly, after he heard Ryou ask the question.

“I-I… you only had Marik?”

“Y-yes… seems likes I was forced to move from my family's place since they thought something was terribly wrong with me, I never really knew what,” Ryou said playing around with the bottom of his pajama shirt.

Is there someone like me? Even this pale boy, was he born pale? Or… Malik thought. “Why are you so pale?”

Ryou blinked. “I don't really go out much, `cept when Marik wants me to, but he doesn't force me.”

What kind of person would? Not like I had a choice. Malik nuzzled Ryou.

“So you live alone here?” Malik asked, running his hands though Ryou's white hair.

“Yes, but it's not like I can't live on my own, I'm 16 and my birthday is next week” Ryou said nervously.

“Hmm… so it is?” Malik paused. “Stop being so nervous I'm not going to hurt you!”

“Y-yea, sorry,”

“Maybe you'd like to come with me and Bakura, my friend, and your friend, Marik, not exactly a big vampire thing, and if you don't want to come it's fine too.” Malik turned away.

“Do you have a feeling about Marik? Just guessing, maybe that's the reason why I seemed odd,”

“Hm… seems like you have a bit of a mind reading ability somehow I think there's more to it or how can they just force you to move when it was just that?” Malik said as he felt Ryou's hair.

“I think it's odd when it happens at school, it's like I can control myself and yet I can't, you'd love me even if--” Malik placed his middle and pointer finger on Ryou's mouth.

“…Doesn't matter, just because of this I won't stop, it would be a pointless reason to end even the start of our relationship on something as simple as mind reading. Now, you have a place for me to sleep? Not like I really plan on following you this time during the day”

Ryou blinked and shook his head. “Y-yea! Uh… my bed! I have it out of the way of the sun anyway so you don't really need to worry.”

Malik smiled and placed his hand on Ryou's head. “not much of a sunlight person yourself?”

“I find it annoying, when it wakes me up in the morning, but this time I woke up early, I heard something and it turned out to be you,” Ryou said, scratching his head. “So yea… you can go there, I can always change the bed sheets sometime…” Ryou came close to Malik, his head on his chest. “If I'd known you weren't a bad vampire I wouldn't have screamed, I'm afraid of bad ones.” Ryou buried his head into Malik's chest. “Now you have to sleep and I have to get to school, you were a kind of good alarm,” Ryou giggled lightly.

Malik put both hands on Ryou's shoulders, then onto both sides of Ryou's face.

“I'll be waiting for you, Ryou-chan.” He said giving one last kiss to Ryou and walked passed him, managing to find the bed easily.

Hmm. Ryou thought happily. He's not a bad vampire, I think I'll like him.

Ryou walked into his room quietly to get some clothing.

“You know that I know you're here, even at your quietest I can hear you, oh well not like you meant to.” Malik said in Ryou's bed opening one eye slightly. Ryou jumped and put one hand to his chest.

“I-I'm sorry, I won't be long anyway,” Ryou said blushing, and then took out sets of clothing to wear.

“Oh it's ok, not like the day is short… why did you take out two sets of clothing?”

“One is my school uniform and the other I plan on wearing after school, yea I guess day isn't so short, but you need rest. D-don't take it like I am trying to be a mom or anything,” Ryou said waving his hands nervously.

“I don't take it as such,” Malik said reassuringly. “See you later, and… don't trust just anyone.” Malik slightly sat up and pointed to where his cape was. “put something on my cape to help you tell it's me, you forget, it'll be hard… there's one vampire that can easily go out in the day for amusement on humans, Marik found it out the hard way, don't do the same.”

Ryou stood up straight. “There is? Y-yes, I won't forget, whatever happened to Marik you don't want to happen to me.” A tear ran down Ryou's cheek. “I won't be afraid of you anymore… `Iku-kun.

Ryou walked to the window, closed it and closed the curtains. I don't want any bad vampires finding you, especially that vampire you mentioned, he finds amusement even during the day? That vampire isn't normal to find amusement even in the daytime. Ryou walked out the door and shut it behind him. Now to put something on his cape so I can recognize him, but first have to go take a quick shower. Ryou ran with one set of clothing in his arms to the bathroom.

 

At Yuugi's place, Yami stood above Yuugi's bed, where Yuugi lay asleep. Shouldn't he be awake? Yami thought poking at Yuugi's nose. Hmm he's cute when he's asleep. Yami smiled. “Yuugi, wake up!”

Yuugi tossed to one side mumbling. Yami glared, and pushed against Yuugi.

“C'mon! You humans can't possibly sleep in the day! Jeez!”

Yuugi turned his head and slightly opened one eye.

“Yami? W-What time is it?”

“I dunno, all I know is that, sun is up and you're in bed. You're lucky your bed isn't directly in the sunlight's path.”

“Wha? Sun is up already?” Yuugi sat up and looked at his digital clock. “Whoa! I should get up now!”

“Go figure, humans are not nocturnal.” Yami said playing around with his golden bangs. “I should go see my father now anyway,”

“Leaving? I was getting to the good parts of the place.”

“Yea, but I can't leave him all worried, I am prince you know… yet I have to keep an eye on a certain vampire.”

“I was wondering about that vampire you mentioned, what was so bad about him? It's not like I'm going to go around telling people… not like I'd want to anyway.”

Yami sat on the bed near Yuugi. “If you must know, this vampire… is the only one that finds actual amusement during the day, he can sleep if he wanted, but he chooses not to, only sometimes he does. He refuses to wear what other vampires wear, he wears crimson clothes because he loves the sight of blood more than any vampire I have seen, it's like it's a pleasure for him… and…” Yami stopped.

“And? There's more? A vampire like that I'd wanna stay away from,”

“Yes, you're smart to say that. This vampire is a relative to a friend of mine, but that friend isn't like him, if you ever meet up with him, he usually wears some black and some other darkish colours. Oh and don't say that that bad vampire I told you about, is his brother,”

“How can such a bad vampire be related to one that is a friend to you?”

“…You may never know, but you meet up with the bad vampire's brother, don't even think or say that that vampire is his brother, he hates him and those who say or even think about saying that those two are related, usually he…” Yami said making a cut action to his neck. “hurts and/or kills them, that is how much he hates him.” Yami held Yuugi's face in his hand. “Probably it was good for me to mention this before I left, the bad vampire would torture, and eventually kill you. I won't allow that.”

Yuugi blushed.

“Wh-what's the name of both vampires? To know both is good, but also a little description as well. I don't want to end up thinking I see one I want to see, but then turns out it's the bad one.” Yuugi said laying his head on Yami's hand.

“Lots of questions, yet they are worth asking to avoid death. The bad one is named Dorobou Bakura, the other Bakura, both have white hair, Dorobou Bakura has shorter hair, remember that.”

“Yes, I know I will remember.”

“You forget, I won't forgive even myself. Remember also, Bakura is the one you shouldn't say that Dorobou Bakura is is brother, or that'll lead to death or injury.”

“I won't forget, I'll even write it down and hide it from my grandpa,”

Yami nodded, bent down and gave Yuugi a kiss.

Yuugi blushed once more, as Yami left.

Believe me, Yami, I won't forget…ever.

 

Later that day, all but Marik came to school. Yuugi looked around.

“Wonder where Marik is,”

Ryou ran up to Yuugi. Ryou blinked.

“Yuugi, have you seen Marik? I didn't see him.” Ryou said looking scared. I have a feeling I know who he's with, but as for where I dunno. Ryou thought, playing with the bottom of his school uniform nervously.

Yuugi shook his head. “I don't know, Ryou. You seem to be hanging around him a lot since he got here.”

“He's a friend ok? Uh…my only one and I only know your name by the teacher taking attendence.”

“So you have only one friend?”

Ryou looked down. “Y-yes,”

Yuugi lifted Ryou's head up to see his own face. “Stop doing that, I've noticed you have done that even in class,”

“Yea…” Ryou said staring at Yuugi, blushing. “You…You love someone?” Ryou said and then covered his mouth.

Yuugi blinked. “Why did you suddenly ask that and why did you cover your mouth, it's not that bad of a question.”

“I-it's just that, um, if I tell you you won't run off on me will you?”

“What is there to run away from? You don't look dangerous to me, Ryou.”

“Well, uh, I have mind reading abilities and sometimes I do it unintentionally.” Ryou said making circles in the air with his finger.

“That's it? I see nothing wrong, and why run away from that? I think it's cool, but when it's unintentional…”

“Sure just run! Marik only cares so does Malik!”

“Malik?”

Ryou covered his mouth once again. Oh damn, why did I just say his name??

“N-Nothing… Just nothing!” Ryou said holding his head.

“It's ok, maybe there are more people that understand, I'm still not running off, and to answer that question, yes, but don't go around spreading rumours or anything.”

“You love someone? A guy? Ah! There that goes again!”

“And I have a feeling this Malik cares enough to like you? I have no mind reading abilities, that's just a guess.” Yuugi said crossing his arms.

Oh jeez that boy is cute! Ryou thought, then the bell rang.

“Oh, well there goes the bell, we better get to class, Ryou.”

“Y-yea…” Ryou said staring at Yuugi.

“Yea, well see ya in class!” Yuugi said running off to the school entrance.

Ryou slapped himself to reality. Holy jeez, what the heck was I doing? I like two guys? Oh hell.

 

Marik moved to one side of the bed he was in, too far to the edge and fell over.

“Gah!” He cried making a loud thud on the floor. “Owww.” He got up and rubbed his head. Where am I? Marik looked at the bed he fell from to find a coffin. Baku? He climbed on the bed and stared at the coffin. It has to be him, the only other person he'd trust with even me is his friend, Malik.

Marik jumped off the bed.

“I shouldn't wander, not after making a mistake and metting up with him.

 

“Malik!” a voice called, it was Marik. “What happened?”

Malik was shocked to find that Marik found his way to this place. “Marik! You shouldn't be here! Didn't Bakura tell you to stay?”

“How did you…”

“I figured that, he would say that… go!”

 

Marik sat on the bed.

“What can I do until Baku wakes up? I can't go to school, but Ryou, Ryou always follwed me, because his ability scared him, who will deal with that when I am here. That vampire can't get to him.” Marik looked at a closed curtain over a window. “I shouldn't expose this to that vampire,” Marik rubbed his head again. “Ow, vampires pull hair hard even if it's a little light.” Marik looked around. He walked to the door and opened it. This is his place? I shouldn't do anymore. Marik turned around to bump into someone on the way back in.

“How long did you think I'd sleep, Mariku?”

“B-Baku!” Marik said, surprised. “but, it's still day.”

“Keh, I had enough sleep for now. I'm worried for you even after that incident,” I said crossing his arms.

Marik face looked sad, he ran into my arms almost crying. “I'm sorry, I should have listened to you, now he knows about…” I hushed the Egyptian.

“It's ok, that's the least of our worries right now.” I held Marik's wrist. “That thing or anything like it will never happen again, now come,” I said letting go of Marik's wrist and walked past Marik.

Marik blushed as he followed me. “Where are you taking me, Baku?”

I stopped and Marik bumped me. I closed my eyes. “I'm going to show you something, from both me and Malik's memories…”

“F-family? Why would you trust a human like me with that?” I turned and kissed him, then let go.

“You're the one human that seems to care for Malik, like you were related to him, and it doesn't seem like you'd do anything to either me or Malik.”

Marik blushed. “L-like I-I was related to him? How can that be? You could both be over a thousand years old and I am only 16!”

“I am over a hundred actually, but it doesn't mean anyone in Malik's family didn't survive what Dorobou Bakura did, it can be possible to survive, Mariku-chan.” The minute I said, that Marik just stared.

“B-But, over a hundred years old, how could any of them live that long? Humans can't live that long.” Marik said slightly looking away. I grinned and bent down and gave Marik a little lick on his cheek.

“…there's such a thing as someone surviving even enough to reproduce, making it possible for someone like you to be related, but I just can't assume until I get Yami to see that for sure.” I got back up. “Now come,” I said walking.

Malik touched his cheek. Baku, I want you to… Marik though as he noticed that I was walking further. “Na! Wait!” he ran close behind me.

Soon after I walked to a door that was heavily secured just in case that Dorobou Bakura found it, It was filled it some vampire killing things, which I had a way to get rid of them for this moment without killing myself in the process.

I had removed all that was needed for me to enter and placed it in a place where no one could get to it, not even Dorobou Bakura, and pushed open the door. In the room it looked blood stained and yet wealthy with some pictured and such on the walls. There was one that Marik noticed.

“W-who are those people, Baku?” Marik asked looking up at a picture of two boys and two adults. I gave a little sigh.

“That is my family, or what used to be.” I said touching the frame of the picture. Marik gasped.

“I-I'm sorry…”

“Not like it was your fault… and yet if you are related to Malik in any way you'll be his only living relative.” I said kissing Marik making him blush.

“Y-Yea that's true, but this Yami…”

“You heard me talk?” I said blinking.

“Only a little… who is he?”

“He is the prince of the vampires, and a friend. He seems to be the only vampire that can do things with DNA, and I plan on finding out of you are related to Malik, Marik.”

“Yea, what would you do if I was? I mean you love me and if I am related to your friend…” I shushed him with a kiss.

“It's ok, it's not going to end whether or not you are related to him,” I said letting go of the kiss and ran my fingers through Marik's hair.

“I-I feel sorry for the both of you, and I don't want to make another mistake again if it means that I have to bump into that guy… who is y-your brother, but I really don't wanna refer to him that way if …if…”

I slightly twitched and held Marik in my arms. “You won't bump into him again, Mariku, I won't allow it or for him to even get to you”

“Y-you twitched, I know I shouldn't say that anymore and say what you say… the look I saw in your eyes… it's…”

“It's fine, say what I call him or whatever, though I wouldn't dream of killing you or injuring you JUST because you called HIM my brother,” I said twitching again. “Bad childhood… anyway soon we should go look for Yami and find out for sure if you are related.”

Marik nodded as he looked around the room. “Where are there things from Malik's memories?”

I walked to the darkest part of the room. “We only found a a few things from Malik's childhood… Malik doesn't really want these to be in even dim light, he just can't bare to really look at them since he had no family to care for him and he got abused when they did notice him…” I said taking out a blood-stained picture and a few other things also blood-stained. Marik walked closer to see.

“E-Egyptian… and they are all blood-stained?” Marik said holding the picture in one hand.

I put my hand to my face when I heard Marik. “Yes, and …” I started as I clinched my hand to a fist and banged the wall.

“…what? Blood-stained…. Baku?”

“Dorobou Bakura killed them all!!” I shouted angrily. “And if you are related to Malik I intend to keep you alive and he can't know that you're related, if he does he could kill you … or even do the same to you as he did to Malik…”

Marik jumped when I shouted, but eyes grew wide. “Your bro…er… Dorobou Bakura killed his family… what did he do to Malik?”

“For one… Malik was human, my parents were vampires and I never knew that I was about four years old when they died, and spent four years after that alone with no one really caring since my parents were not normal and my brother wasn't found until they decided to look for a caretaker for me I was seven when they did and… it was him and he did happily take me, but during the time at night he would get me in bed and go. I met Malik a year later, he was close to committing suicide he was badly injured and he had a knife when I found him when I was playing outside once. Dorobou Bakura barely ever let me play with anyone, but one day when he did he told me to come back at sunset. Oh sure I had my fun with my best friend it seemed like everything was fine… I talked to Malik he talked to me I got him out of suicide since, I was his friend and cared for him we played more and it was a mistake not to pay attention to where the sun was…” I put one hand to my neck where there used to be a bite mark. “we were having too much fun that I noticed that the sun was already setting when I gasped and ran back, Malik followed… I got back and the place was so silent, until something droped on my face, it was blood and I looked up to find his hands and mouth covered in blood… I just ended up backing away, he held Malik up by his neck and told me he'd be the first to feel the pleasure of being a vampire and he…he… bit him and then dropped him. After he told me how we were naturally born vampires and told me I'd be too young to understand… unless he woke it up for me…”

Marik stood there with the picture still in his hand and he looked down. “SO Malik was human and your `brother' made him a vampire against his will, that's so awful, but he still had you as a friend,”

“Yes, but there was one part of my awakening that seemed different… I was bitten by my own brother to wake it up but I was eight and when he did bite me it felt so odd I saw my own blood… and it had felt like most of the air was taken out of me, I gasped for air for a moment as he told me that I would have had to deal with being a vampire… even if I had to reach his age…”

“Dare I ask what that age was?”

“Thirteen, like I said I was eight, but that wasn't all I grew angry at him for what he did to Malik… usually when I do or just be angry like that something would happen that I got a little more control over, but…”

“But, what is it, not like I would freak out; I didn't when I first met you… Baku,” Marik said blushing slightly. I sighed.

“Um… fine…” I said taking off my jacket and then my shirt. “This is what seemed different…” Then I made my bat-like wings to come out. Marik just stood there.

“Wings? I heard of vampire tales where they turn into bats when they wanted, but to actually have wings like a bat on you… that was different?”

“Yes, seems like it was something he didn't get from my parents, or what he said anyway I didn't know my parents long enough to know they were vampires, seemed like they were waiting for the time when it had awakened in me and never knew what Dorobou Bakura would have done after…” I stared at my wings. “ I guess you know something now…” I said folding them back and prepared to put them away but Marik held me and my wings.

“Wait, don't put them away! Baku-kun!” Marik hugged me tighter. “I truthfully liked vampires; just not every one that I saw was very… interesting…” Marik whispered in my ear.

“M-Marik…” I said as I moved my hand behind his head and ran it down his hair.

“I like them, I want you to take me out with them obviously at night, but I wanna see them now Baku-kun!”

“It's alright, I will take you but with caution, okay?” I said nuzzling him. “But now we go out and try to find Yami, I know one place, but it can be risky with you since there are a lot of vampires there, it would be better to fly and flying is better at night so that is on hold, but for now… show me stuff in your place? Unless there is family there that would make you uneasy with someone like me around?”

“Hm… Isis and Rishid both work, but you can always try to look like a casual human… you know how that is like ne?”

“I have lived seven years of my childhood as a human… so I think I have an idea,” I said walking to another room and Marik followed.

“Ne? Another room…”

I nodded. “I did keep a place to put clothing even though all the ones in here I stole and fits me perfectly, I don't see you telling on me do you, Mariku?”

Marik shook his head. “Never, even though stealing is bad but I can't imagine me telling or even trying to explain that it was a vampire, and I love you too much to do so, Baku.”

I kissed him and then I went to choose something to wear. I came out a while after with my wings put away. I wore a purple striped short-sleeved shirt over top of a dark blue long-sleeved shirt and regular blue jeans. Marik just stood there just staring.

`”So this is ok, right, Marik?” I stared at him, he was into the look too much I saw drool again. “Oi, Mariku!” I said snapping my fingers in front of his face, which finally got him back to reality.

“S-Sorry Baku, yea it's nice…” Marik said embarrassed. I want to touch you and you look so damn sexy even in clothes like that. “And obviously you had to put the wings away or you's rip most of the shirt, ne?”

I nodded. “And also, I never saw a human with wings, not unless they were fake and not directly coming out of their back… so ok clothes good…” I said walking past Marik but he held my wrist and pulled me. “Eh? What's wrong now?”

Marik blushed. “Um, not every human has red eyes unless it was contacts and on Halloween.”

“Oh yea, how can I forget? I got dressed a few times for that day and was accompanied by…. him,” I said and growled at the thought of mentioning Dorobou Bakura again. I looked at Marik. “I uses changing eye colour is an idea ne? I think I can do that,” I said and tried to remember my natural eye colour before it changed. “Oh yea I remember my eye colour before they changed!” I closed my eyes and opened them and they were my natural eye colour, a purplish redish colour. Marik drooled again as he started at my eyes.

“Pretty eyes,” Marik said his eyes sparkling.

“Ok, they changed but for staying hidden from humans, now show me around now, Mariku?” I said looking at Marik who was still admiring my eyes. I sighed. “If you stop it I will give you what you want later before flying off to find Yami, ok?”

Marik blinked and smiled. “Ok!” he said glomping me.
