Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Reincarnation of Ephemeral Existence. ❯ Chapter Five ( Chapter 5 )

~ ~ ~

When you think about it, there are quite a few different ways to scream, for instance; and in this case, Yugi went for the 'I am so scared and terrified that my scream will raise your hackles and make people jump'.

The sound may have started off as a word or a grunt, but it came out as a horribly terrified scream.

The terror that emanated off the human was scary too. Or scared, or whatever.

The scream the human let out made the two vampires standing next to the boy jump and stare as he stumbled backwards, violet eyes wide with pure horror before he turned and ran; body moving in almost a blur as those lavender eyes met his and that tanned skin showed itself. Yugi was turning and running so quickly that all the two vampires could do was stare after him in shock.

Images played themselves before Yugi's eyes, visions and the feelings from long, long, long, long ago.

The smell of fresh meat.

The laughter.

Always the laughter.

Yugi ran blindly down several corridors and twisted and turned and just continued to run, he had to run away.

He didn't want to see those images again.

Didn't want to relieve that personal hell.

Feel the burning terror that raced through his gut and made his skin sweat coldly.

His heart pounded in his chest as his vision blurred and he ran straight into a wall.

Yugi collapsed to his knees against the wall; unaware of the pain running into the wall in the first place, caused. Hyperventilating and shaking all over, his muscles burned and shook with pain, his heart hammered in his chest and all he could see was red.

All that red paint…

And the smell, the sweet stench of human organs…

The meat, everywhere, fresh meat…

Those lavender eyes and tanned skin…

That laughter…

But he's dead! He's dead! He's dead! He's dead! He's dead! The little voice in the back of Yugi's mind screamed.

"I put a fucking stake right through his chest; I cut his head off and shoved him so full of lead…. Oh Kami, Oh Kami, Kami, Kami, Kami, Kami, Kami, Kami, Kami…" Just that one word, over and over and over again, hitching in his throat as he hyperventilated, gasping in air as quickly as he possibly could.

There was no mantra about his words, more like a desperate screamed edge in it.

Yugi began rocking as he trembled, eyes relieving that one birthday.

The laughter…

All that meat…

He's got to be fucking dead! Not again! Oh Kami, not again! The voice in the back of Yugi's head cried.

Vampire…

Vampire…

Someone was shouting near him and cool hands touched him on the shoulders.

Yugi screamed again, flinching and blindly struggling to get away.

Not again!

He couldn't breathe; he couldn't see anything but all that meat and those eyes and that tanned flesh and the laughter and the smell and…

Someone grabbed him and pinned his wrists against the wall.

He screamed, loud and long and as quickly as he could draw breath.

A cool hand settled over his mouth until his screams were muffled and all he could do was thrash violently. But he kept screaming against the images that showed themselves to him.

Fighting against the unknown form that held him down.

He had to kill him again! He had to kill him!

All that red paint…

Not again!

Someone was talking to him, soothing him softly. Soft words, as if saying something.

"Yugi! Yugi! Yugi, focus! Yugi, its okay! It's Yami… it's just me. There's no one else here… there's just you and me… Yugi-kun, calm down, it's just me. Calm down. Hush, shhhh…"

Yugi's eyes focused slowly and it was Yami who was holding him. He couldn't seem to stop screaming though, but his muscles gradually relaxed, vertebrae by vertebrae until the only thing still tense was his chest as he breathed in and out far too quickly to power his screaming.

Yami's eyes looked so worried. "Shhh, shhhh, Yugi-kun, shhhh, it's just me."

Yugi shook his head, drawing in a deep breath and making only a soft sound, not screaming. He exhaled and drew in another breath, focusing on Yami. He began mumbling something under the vampire's hand.

Yami moved his hand out of the way to hear whatever it was Yugi was repeating.

"I killed him, he's dead. He's fucking dead! I pumped him so full of lead that there was only mush left! Why is he alive!?!?! Why the fuck is he alive?? Kami-sama I killed him fucking cold! I cut his fucking head off!" Yugi whimpered loudly and closed his eyes, breath beginning to speed up for more screaming.

Yami hushed him, bringing Yugi into his grip and hushing him more. "Shhh, he's dead, don't worry, he's gone, he's dead. Hush, little one, hush." The vampire's eyes were full of such concern and sympathy that Yugi felt his rage coming back, emotions flowing over him is stabs.

"Don't you feel sorry for me you son of a bitch! You know him! You fucking know him! You fucking bastard!" He screamed.

Deep down the human knew he just wanted to take his hatred, his fear and his worry out on the person before him.

Rage was so much easier to express than terror, so much better.

Yami didn't seem to hear him, just continued to rock the human and hush him gently. "Shh, hush, Yugi-kun."

Yugi trembled in rage.

Get off me.

Get off me.

Get off me.

The words chanted through his head.

"Get off me." He commanded deeply.

Yami was thrust back in the air, flying across the room to hit the wall.

Yugi shuddered again, shaking his head.

"You bastard! You know him! You fucking know Malik!" He spat the name out.

Yami stood, somewhat shakily and stared down at Yugi, plum eyes wary as he regarded the human.

"Where did you pick up sonic projection, Yugi-kun?" Yami asked calmly.

"Shut up! I'll kill him! I'll fucking kill him so badly he won't ever come back! He won't ever come near any children ever again! I'll protect them! You fucking hear me, vampire? I'll do it!"

He couldn't control his own rage, but he was too weak to move, his body just shook and shook and he could barely raise a hand from the physical exertion.

There were limits every human body had, Yugi had reached his.

He couldn't even tense any longer, Yugi thought dimly as he slumped. It was so horrible, to not be able to move properly because his muscles simply couldn't.

His rage faded away under his sense of helplessness, there was no point being angry if it wasn't leading to blood.

Perhaps his physical state was recognized by Yami, because the vampire came closer and knelt, gathering the trembling human into his arms. Not seeming wary of being shoved away by whatever means Yugi had employed moments before.

"You're too exhausted to kill Marik. And the vampire you saw earlier is called Marik, not Malik. Marik is one of my people, Yugi-kun, he was asleep in his tomb when this, Malik showed up, Yugi-kun."

Yugi whimpered softly.

No, Yami lied, Yami lied about everything!

"You're lying." The human shot vituperatively.

"And you're so weak you can't even move; I'd imagine if I laid you down, you'd be lying too."

Yugi groaned, closing his wet eyes, either Yami was having a go at him, or he was incredibly thick. "No, with words, no one looks that similar!"

Yami chuckled. "Are you sure about that?"

Yugi frowned. "Yes. It's cosmically impossible."

Yami chuckled more as he walked, holding Yugi to his chest. "Positively sure about that?"

Yugi frowned more; he was getting a headache from the last few minutes of his life. The emotions running through his system were somewhat quieter but the confusion now in his mind over laced all else.

"Hai…" he said tiredly, he really could have done with some sleep, preferably for a few hours. "What are you getting at?"

Yami chuckled again and rubbed his nose against Yugi's. "I'm getting at your ability to overlook the obvious, little one."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Yugi asked.

"Well, if it's impossible for two people to look very, very, very alike, how do you explain your looks?"

Yugi stared blankly for a while before he finally clued in. "Oh, you and me… oh." He sighed painfully.

"But that's… we're not…"

"Hmm?" Yami chuckled. "You can't accept the idea that you truly have killed your worst nightmare? Trust you to go on something like that, Yugi-kun."

Yugi closed his eyes; he just wasn't sure about anything any more!

"Yugi-kun, can I ask you something?" Yami broke the momentary silence.

"Nani?" The human asked softly, not opening his violet orbs.

"Where did you pick up sonic projection? I don't think you had that when we first met."

"Sonic projection? I don't have magical abilities Yami-kun."

Yami grunted. "Well then, how is it you threw me halfway across the room with a sonic blast?"

Yugi opened his eyes, remembering all the strange things that had happened to him.

"I… I don't know. Yami? Can people with sonic powers float?"

"I suppose, it would depend on what kind of sonic powers. There are three kinds, the sonic powers from the mouth, which tend to make brains explode at the wrong pitch, the sonic powers that spread from touch, and aura sonic powers which are more related to the aura and can be used at will. You don't know about sonic powers?"

Yugi sighed. "No. I don't… ano…"

"What?"

"It would explain a lot." Yugi said brightly.

Yami chuckled, opening a door with his foot. "What would it explain, exactly?"

Yugi was about to clam up and not tell, but he just couldn't seem to bring himself to it. "Give me some food and I'll tell."

Yami smirked and nodded. "Alright."

Yami had taken the weak human into his own bedroom and ordered take-away.

The bedroom was huge and dark, everything was done in purples. The walls a lilac shade, that matched the carpet. The king sized bed was covered in matching mauve pillows and sheets. The wood of the dresser, bedside tables, and walk in closet door were all an amethyst color. The curtains were a pastel purple.

Yami retrieved the food from some kind of machine after securing the order over the computer. Yugi had no idea what exactly he did, he wasn't exactly in much of a position to see much, the moment they had entered the room Yami had settled the human on the bed and stripped him completely naked before helping the blushing Yugi to slide under the soft bedcovers.

Yugi's muscles were complete mush, and his body's non-responsiveness was scary for the human. Was this meant to happen?

The smell of pizza filled the room and Yami's weight on the bed roused Yugi from the sleep he had been heading too. "I need to get the transporter updated, that took longer than it should have." The vampire murmured.

Yugi rolled his head to one side, violet eyes blinking at the vampire.

Yami held a piece of pizza to the human's mouth and Yugi took a bite.

It tasted like the blissful cardboard he was used to.

Five minutes later Yugi had eaten three pieces and was contentedly full of the cheesy pizza. Yami had been silent as he fed the human, plum eyes soft as he watched the boy scoff down the food.

At Yugi's filled point the vampire crawled onto the bed properly and Yugi realized he was naked and aroused.

"Eh?" Yugi murmured, yawning sleepily as the vampire leaned over him seductively.

Yami smiled and kissed the boy gently, nibbling softly on Yugi's lips and tasting the pizza. "Mmm, cheesy Yugi…"

Yugi let the vampire dominate his mouth for a little while before groaning in signal that he needed air. Yami pulled back and purred.

"You've eaten, you owe me some talking." Yami said undistracted.

Yugi yawned and nodded just slightly, eyes heavy. "Mm, well, I got out of the green pod thing by pretty much willing it to shatter. And when I fell off the ledge of the twenty story building I willed myself to levitate… but I'm not magical, so I can't do it. It just doesn't make sense that I could use magic. I think someone is stalking me."

"Another one?" Yami commented with a laugh.

Yugi shrugged and yawned again.

"' 'M tired." The human murmured.

Yami slipped under the blankets and cocooned against Yugi's body.

"Then sleep, I'm right here."

Yugi choose not to answer that. He fell asleep wrapped in Yami's arms. And strangely… he felt safe.

~ To be continued…

Sweet notes: Mmm, Yugi, bad boy!!!

Yugi: what?!?!

Sweetdeily: I had hot kinky sex scheduled in this chapter!!!

Yugi: Tsch, it's not myyyy fault you wanted me so freakin' weak.

Sweetdeily: But it's your fault you went psycho and lost your muscles! Honestly, how is Yami-kun meant to make hot passionate, kinky love to a doll?

Yami: Actual-

Both: Shuttup!

Yugi: Why does everyone want to get into my pants!??!!?

Sweetdeily: You're walking slash, pretty boy.

Yami: mmm, Yugi's pants.

Yugi: Honestly, Yami, couldn't you I dunno… try to not want me?

Yami: *shrugs* probably. But the love thing means we can have hot kinky bondage sex and not have rape overtures.

Yugi: hmm, speaking of rape, you DID promise the readers a lemon at some stage this chapter…

Sweetdeily: err…. Good point. So, we have one or two options, one of which you're not going to enjoy, Yugi-kun.

Yugi: It involves a dream of being raped by Malik? *shiver*

Malik: …I feel dirty…

Sweetdeily: Yes, that's one option… the other is Yami getting into your pants the next night, but in reality, that could take far too long to happen.

Yugi: oh god… you're going to rape me???

Sweetdeily: It depends. Actually, someone mentioned a very fascinating idea about Yami having competition-

Yami: *snorts with mirth*

Sweetdeily: *continuing as if she didn't hear him* for you, and I have a very good way to fit it in…. but this is a Yami/Yugi fiction…. And *sigh* although it truly appeals to me… it screws with a few things…

Yugi: so, who's gonna do me? *cries softly* I never get to be on top…. *looks hopeful*

Sweetdeily: That's because you're a uke. You were born a uke, you will die a uke. Yami drips with seme-ness. It's like easy pickings.

Yugi: *siiigh* But what are you gonna do?

Sweetdeily: I have NO idea…. I really want to have *almost spills evil author plans and thinks better of it* … mmm, well, there's three possibilies. Two of which could involve rape….

Yugi: *hiding behind Yami* I'll go with the third option!

Yami: mmm, bondage, cream and nakkiedness?

Yugi: whatever, just no rape.

Sweetdeily: *leer* actually, it's been so long since we had rape.

Yugi: Speak for yourself. *I* had a perfectly traumatical childhood.

Sweetdeily: tch. ANYWAY!

It's not an option. You're reviews will be like blood donations, it will make me, Yami and my vampire Yami plushie happy. The plushie commands you!!!
