...So Familiar...

A young blonde teen leaned back in a black chair with his head hanging over the top and his feet crossed on the table in front of him. His hands interlinked at the back of his head for support as the boy began to drift off into a light slumber; his honey eyes almost completely closed. He would have been sleeping by now if someone didn't come running into the room frantically.

“Lab! Lab!” someone called out anxiously. The blonde groaned as he reluctantly opened an eyelid to see wide amethyst eyes. The urgency in those orbs made the blonde sit upright instantly and all the sleepiness that drowned his mind from before completely vanished.

“What is it Violet?” the boy referred to as `Lab' asked worriedly. The smaller of the two passed him a yellow folder and the blonde eyed it suspiciously.

“Lab, we got assigned new targets but I don't think I can go through with mine,” Violet said, sadness creeping into his voice. The blonde could only raise an eyebrow.

“What do you mean? You're one of the best assassins in HIB. Why wouldn't you be able to dispose of this new target?” Lab asked curiously.

“I can't,” Violet said sadly.

“You can't what?” someone asked from the corner of the room. Both Violet and Lab turned to see their two friends walk into the spacious room. The two newcomers both grabbed a seat at the table and one of them yelled happily when he spotted the four folders in Violet's hands.

“We got new targets today!” the assassin known as Bronze said snatching the folder with his name on it out of the amethyst eyed boy's grasp. The other boy called Silver only sighed at his friend's antics as he reached out and patiently waited for Violet to pass him his.

Lab also took his folder and all the boys opened their folders at the same time, except for Violet who was sitting quietly deep in his own thoughts. Dead silence followed as each boy stared at the picture in front of them.

“Where's the case summary?” Lab asked suspiciously. Violet looked at his blonde friend for a moment before pulling out a white piece of paper and handing it to him. However, at that moment, their leader walked in with her piercing purple eyes staring straight at the four boys.

“We have a problem,” the woman said when she reached the table. Violet instantly focused all of his attention on the blonde woman in front of him as she continued to speak.

“It seems that Michael has returned,” the leader said seriously.

“Michael Zikasi?” Yugi said in shock. How was he still alive?

The woman nodded. “I need you all to go get him immediately. I want him. Dead or alive,” she said sternly.

The four boys nodded and their leader reached over and passed Violet another folder. “The coordinates are there. Don't fail me.”

Violet nodded once again. “We won't Mai.”

Mai smiled and then exited the room. Lab sighed. “It looks like we will have to postpone reading over the case summary.”

The others nodded as they closed their folders and placed them carefully in the middle of the table. Each boy then walk over to a nearby counter which had dozens of accessories scattered on it. Each HIB operative tied their hair in a ponytail, except for Lab since his hair was too short, and then stuffed it underneath a black hat. After the each placed dark sunglasses over their eyes. They needed to protect their identity in every way possible. After a few more things, they all threw on black overcoats and then made their way outside.

…

Yami punched the red bag in front of him with so much force that it was quite surprising that the bag didn't break. Slightly farther away from him stood both Kaiba and Bakura who were fighting ruthlessly with each other in a sparing match. The two assassins always used these opportunities to practice their agility and Marik, who was on the other side of the room, was focused on his strength as he picked up 100lbs weights while lying on his back. This was a daily routine for the four boys.

A one point, Yami kicked the large bag in front of him so hard that it bounced loudly against the wall, making all the boys turn their attention to the spiky haired youth.

“What the hell is up with you today?” Kaiba asked curiously. Yami stopped beating the bag to gaze at the brunet and with a dangerously low tone, Yami declared: “Nothing. I'm fine.”

That was a blatant lie. The truth was that Yami was confused. He was confused about Yugi.

Yugi was supposed to be nothing more than a target to him. But with each passing day, Yami was feeling less capable of actually going through with killing him. Why was this happening? Yami was one of the most ruthless assassins ever. He didn't care about anyone…except for him.

Yami smiled bitterly. It was ironic that every person that Yami seemed to develop feelings for was those who he was ordered to kill. Yami looked to the side when he heard someone walk in.

“Yes Pegasus?” Yami asked curiously. It was like Pegasus to interrupt them while they were in practice. The white-haired man smiled.

“Great news boys! I have an urgent assignment for you,” Pegasus announced catching the undivided attention of everyone in the room. “It appears that we have finally located Michael Zikasi.”

Yami's ears perked. Michael Zikasi was a spy for HIB, their rival company. The Hikaris In Black, or HIB, had sent Michael who had gone uncover and had found out valuable information about the operatives at YIB. After Michael had been exposed, he had gone on the run. It was rumored that he had betrayed HIB and so both of the rival companies had been searching for him…until now.

“You all have to be on alert,” Pegasus continued. “I have no doubt that Mai will try to get to him first and send her four boys so be on your guard. Understand? The coordinates of Michael's location is currently being sent to your computer,” he said motioning towards Kaiba. “Be sure to address each other by you're other names only. Atemu, Dragon, Thief, and Black.” Without another word, Pegasus left and the four assassins were left alone.

Bakura immediately walked over to his knife stash and examined a few long, skinny daggers before shoving them in his pockets. Kaiba picked up his laptop and watched the screen as a picture of an old, abandoned building came into sight. Marik was strapping on his black boots and then looked over to see Yami, who had his gaze towards the ground with his gold bangs creating a dark overcast over his crimson eyes.

Yami had an extremely bitter smirk plastered on his face. `Violet,' he said to himself before turning and grabbing a small black gun that laid gently on the table next to him.

…

Violet signaled for Silver and Bronze to guard the door as he and Lab made their way through the broken down building that was surrounded by nothing but dead trees. It was late, probably about one in the morning. Once inside, the Lab and Violet were confronted with two doors. Lab raised an eyebrow. “Should we split up?”

Violet shook his head. “I don't think that's a good idea. Michael is extremely dangerous. Not only that but YIB operatives are probably here as well.”

Lab grinned. “I know but this way we can cover more ground faster.”

Violet still looked unconvinced but Lab only smiled more. “Listen, we have these,” Lab said pointing towards the black watches that each of them wore on their right arm which were actually communication devices. “So if we find something, we can just call the other for help. And Bronze and Silver are keeping an eye out for us. I really don't want to be out here all night. Especially since we have school tomorrow.”

Yugi sighed but nodded nonetheless. “Okay Lab. But if anything happens, then call okay?”

Lab nodded and then in an instant, they both took of into different directions. The room that Lab entered was a small gray colored room. It was very bleak and had an odd aroma to it. Lab let his amber eyes scan the room carefully before stepping out of the shadows. He tiptoed quietly into the middle of the room and out of the corner of his eye, he swore that he saw a shadow move behind him. He turned instantly but saw nothing.

Lab sighed and then his gaze fell on a dim light that was glowing in the corner. He walked over to it and was about to reach for it, when someone made a grab for his arm.

“Mutt, whatever are you doing here?” a harsh voice said full of amusement. Lab pulled his arm out of the trespassers grasp and jumped back a few steps.

“Dragon…I thought you would be here,” Lab said with distaste.

The brunet referred to as Dragon nodded. “I came here searching for Michael and I find a lost dog…Oh well…I guess you'll have to do.”

Jou jumped out of Kaiba's line of fire just in time to avoid a bullet. Lab growled at the other. “Wait! Before you go shooting people's heads off, there's something behind you!”

Dragon laughed humorously. “That's the oldest trick in the book.”

Lab shrugged. “Fine but if you blow up into a million pieces, don't come crying to me!”

The brunet holding a small gun narrowed his eyes and with much reluctance took a second to look behind him. Lab was right. There was something there…but what—

Dragon fell back when someone kicked him roughly in his stomach. Lab smiled from over him. “Yeah, and I'm the dumb one,” Lab said sarcastically but in a second winded up on the floor too as the brunet swung his feet underneath his own.

Lab arched back in pain and opened his eyes only to see a small object right next to his head. He could see it better now that it was right next to his face. It was black with a small red light on it. Lab tilted his head to the side and then his eyes widened in realization.

“It's a bomb!” Lab screamed quickly getting to his feet. Dragon looked at the small thing and after a few moments ran out of the door.

“Coward!” Lab yelled but the blonde wasted his time running out as well.

…

“What's taking them so long?” Bronze said impatiently. Silver sighed.

“You know you have to learn how to be more patient,” the brown-eyed boy said with his hand dug deep into his pockets.

Bronze growled. “Yeah but—“

Silver looked up at his companion's sudden loss for words. “Is something wrong?”

Bronze put a finger to his lips signaling to other to keep quiet. He then closed his eyes and stood perfectly still. After another moment, Bronze yelled to his fellow operative: “Silver, watch out!”

Silver ducked to the ground as a small dagger flew right over his head. He looked up to see three more flying towards him but quickly deflected them with his own weapons.

“Thief! Show yourself!” Silver demanded. He was rewarded by cynical laughter as two figures appeared from the darkness.

“Silver,” one of boys said slowly. “So glad you could make it.”

Bronze kept his glare on both of the intruders. The one with skin like his own smiled. “Hello pretty,” the teen known as Black said seductively. Bronze only narrowed his eyes further.

“If you value your life then leave! Silver and I have better matters then dealing with you two imbeciles,” Bronze spat out furiously.

Thief laughed. “And if we don't?”

Suddenly the laughter stopped as Thief watched blood bubble out of a newly made gash on his arm. He looked up and stared deadly at Silver who was still in the position he was when he had thrown the dagger that had grazed Thief's arm.

Thief didn't hesitate and within a moment he had a knife at Silver's neck. Bronze made a move towards the two but was stopped by the other boy.

“Now now pretty. You should not meddle into their business,” Black said and Bronze doubled over as the wind was knocked out of his lungs by Black's fist to his stomach.

Everything froze as someone ran from the building. Both Thief and Black scowled as they noticed who the person was.

“We need to get out!” Dragon ordered. The other two knew it was serious by the sound of the brunet's voice but…

“Damnit!” Thief yelled taking the knife away from Silver's neck. Yes, he still had time to slash the boy's throat but that wouldn't be any fun. He wanted to spend time killing Silver. Maybe he could even have a little fun with him as well.

Thief smiled. “Consider yourself lucky…for now,” he said and then followed Dragon into the woods. Black frowned angrily but nevertheless disappeared as well.

Silver immediately ran to Bronze and lifted him off the ground. “Are you okay?”

Bronze nodded bitterly. “Yeah…”

They both looked up when Lab came running out. “Where's Yugi?!” he asked frantically.

Bronze widened his eyes. “We thought he was with you!”

“Oh god, he's still inside! We need to get him! This whole building is going to explode!” Lab cried.

Silver gasped in fear while Bronze just looked absolutely pissed. “Lab, why did you leave him?! You know what not right now, we don't have time! You go get in the car and get it started and Silver and I will go get him!” Bronze instructed.

Lab nodded and took off while the other two quickly ran inside of the building.

Meanwhile, Violet was searching a large room carefully. He had to be on his guard…just in case. He looked up when the lights began to flicker. After a few seconds, the light blew out and darkness filled the room. The only light was from the moon which shone the dark room but only slightly.

“Shit!” Violet cursed as he began to search for a new source of light.

“Violet,” someone called out sinisterly. “Is that you?”

The amethyst-eyed boy smiled into the darkness. "Atemu?" Violet said turning around to see a shadowy figure a few feet away from him. The man was dressed identically to Violet. He wore a hat and a pair of sunglasses to cover up his identity as well as a long coat.

"To what do I owe this pleasure?" The boy addressed as Atemu said in an amused tone. Violet only laughed. "Save it, Atemu. Why are you here?"

"I'm disappointed. I thought you would be excited to see me," Atemu scoffed.

"The only reason I would be happy to see you would be so that I could get rid of you. You've hurt too many innocent people for your own selfish desires," Violet said with pure disdain.

Atemu laughed. "I do not chose who it is that dies. That's my leader's job."

"But you are the one who carries it out," Violet argued.

Atemu shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "Well people have to die eventually," he said and then looked at Violet devilishly and added: "And so do you."

Without a moment's notice, Atemu whipped out a shotgun from his pocket and pointed it at where Violet once stood.

"You're getting faster Violet," Atemu said and then winced viciously in pain as he felt metal pierce his flesh.

"Yeah, but you're not," Violet said from his spot in the darkness. Atemu looked at his shoulder which was now bleeding profusely with narrowed eyes and then turned back to face the utter darkness with a smile. Within a moment Atemu's gun was pointing only inches away from Violet's head. The amethyst-eyed boy stared in shock at Atemu's weapon. How did he move so quickly?

Suddenly, Atemu reached out and caressed the soft rosy lips of his enemy. Violet was without a doubt taken aback by the gentle gesture but didn't move for Atemu's gun was still pointing at the spot between his eyes.

"You know," Atemu said with a smirk. "I've always wanted to feel these lips...to taste them. Ever since I met you. The reason that you were such a threat to me was because I was so captivated by you. I always knew that you were beautiful underneath that outfit and, Ra how I wanted you..." Atemu confessed almost bitterly. Violet was so stunned by the words that he almost didn't catch Atemu's next sentence.

"Too bad we are sworn enemies...under different circumstances...I could have loved you," Atemu said and then without any warning Violet felt warm lips claim his own. A violent spark flew down Violet's spine and millions of emotions and thoughts filled his mind. At first, he thought about struggling against his captor but before he knew it, he wrapped his arms around Atemu's neck and pressed into the kiss furiously. What was he doing? He shouldn't be doing this...but oh god Atemu was so...addicting.

Atemu didn't need anymore encouragement. In an instant, he had Violet's back against the wall with his body pinning the small boy. Atemu dropped his weapon to the ground as he reached out with both hands and grasped Violet's legs, pulling them up to wrap around his own waist, both of their hips grinding against each other causing another jolt to flow throughout the two boy's bodies. Violet didn't know what he was doing. He was supposed to hate Atemu...to kill him. But right now, all he wanted was the boy bruising his lips harshly. Atemu began to suck on Violet's bottom lip roughly as he pleaded desperately for entrance. Violet didn't hesitate and instantly Atemu's tongue made its way into Violet's mouth. The amethyst-eyed youth fought back as their tongues entered a duel for dominance.

After a few minutes, Atemu finally won his way deep into Violet's cavern and made sure to lick every crevice of his prize. The atmosphere heated up and the black leather that the two boys were wearing stuck to their bodies like glue. The need to breath was becoming urgent but neither one wanted to be the one to break the contact with each other. Eventually, they both felt unconsciousness coming near and at the same time, their lips separated.

Flushed red faces and heavy panting was all that could be seen and heard. Through the dark sunglasses, Atemu and Violet stared heatedly on each other. After a few moments, Violet couldn't take it anymore. He reached out gently for the other's glasses. He wanted to see them. He needed to see his eyes. He needed to know if the passion that he had felt in that kiss was in Atemu's eyes. If it was real.

Surprisingly, Atemu didn't stop him. His fingers grasped onto the edge of the dark sunglasses and he began to pull the shades away, and then...

BANG!

Atemu and Violet jumped away from each other in shock. It wasn't a moment later that Silver and Bronze came running in and Violet's eyes went wide as he watched them run towards Atemu.

Silver jumped into the air and spun around, sending several daggers flying towards Atemu's head. However, the small knives just fell straight to the ground as Atemu's body was now gone.

“Damnit!” Bronze cursed in an aggravated fashion. “Violet! Let's go!” the Egyptian boy said grabbing the other by the arm and quickly making a sprint towards the door that led out of the building.

“What's going on!?” Violet yelled, angry that his time with Atemu had been cut short. However, no one had bothered to answer him and instead focused on getting out the door. Just as the three got out of the building, a loud explosion was heard and the three boys fell face first onto the ground. Violet covered the back of his head with his hands as little pieces of the building foundation fell on top of him. When his ears stopped ringing from the vibration of the explosion, he turned around to see the large building that they were just in completely demolished to the ground.

“What the hell?” Violet yelled from his spot on the ground only feet away from the building. He winced suddenly as he noticed a large cut on his hand from the debris.

Silver grimaced as he sat upright on the ground and said bitterly: “It was a trap!”

Violet narrowed his eyes. Someone had tried to kill them. YIB? No, they were inside the building too. Did they all get out in time? Did Atemu? After a few more minutes of thinking, Violet asked simply: “By who?”

But all Silver could do was shrug his pale shoulders.

From a distance, a loud beeping noise was heard. “Lab's calling for us,” Bronze said as he stood to his feet and wiped off the rubble from his clothes. He then reached out a hand and helped Violet and Silver off of the ground.

Bronze and Silver took one more look at the large mess before taking off. Violet was right behind him but then turned around when he heard a noise. He looked around suspiciously.

More beeping…

Violet took one last look and then ran from the sight. He didn't notice the crimson eyes staring into his back.

…

Yugi laid his head down flat on his desk. Last night was absolutely exhausting. It had drained him both physically and emotionally. Why did Atemu do that? Not that Yugi wasn't already confused enough about his feelings about Yami but now Atemu…that kiss had awakened all the latent feelings that Yugi had felt for him since the first day they met. Yugi wanted so desperately to bash his head against his desk. Why?! Why did Atemu screw him up so much! He couldn't think! He couldn't breathe!

Yugi sighed sadly and then jumped slightly when someone took a seat next to him. “I'm sorry,” Yami said absent mindedly. Yugi just nodded. Yami was the last person that he needed to see right now. Why did he have to kill Yami? What had he done that Mai thought it was necessary for him to die? Yugi exhaled again and then from the corner of his eyes gazed at Yami. For some reason, Yami just seemed…so familiar…

Yami seemed distracted. He wondered what was wrong with the other boy. At least Yami wasn't going through everything that he was right now. Yugi couldn't have been more wrong. Yami felt like his emotions were eating him from the inside out.

Every time Yami thought about the kiss that he and Violet shared, he would feel his stomach turn. This wasn't supposed to happen. Yami was not supposed to fall in love with Violet…and what about Yugi? What were his feelings towards the smaller boy? Certainly, he couldn't love two people at once. Even though…Yugi had reminded him of Violet so much. Both of their skin was a creamy color and he would bet anything that Yugi's lips were as soft as Violet's. But they were also different in so many ways. Violet was authoritive and thrived dominance while Yugi was overly submissive and as sweet as an angel. If only he could combine the two…If only he was a normal teen…then he could fall in love with whomever he pleased.

But he could never be with either Violet or Yugi. They were both targets…and that's all they could ever be.

Yami looked down as he caught a glimpse of Yugi's bandaged hand. “What happened?” Yami asked curiously. Yugi flushed a light pink.

“Oh it's nothing…I was cutting some carrots last night and I accidently cut my hand,” Yugi lied. Yami nodded and then winced out in pain when someone put their hand on his shoulder.

“Hello Yami,” Jou said obviously feigning friendliness. Yami glared at the hand on his shoulder. The blonde was causing him an extreme amount of unwanted pain due to the fact that his bullet wound from the previous night was still healing.

“Hello Katsuya,” Yami spat out. “Can I help you with something?”

Jou shook his head. “No, I was just checking to make sure that you weren't trying to seduce my pal here.”

Yugi went a bright red. “Jou! I'm fine! Please stop!”

Jou frowned but nevertheless nodded. “Okay but don't think I'm not watching you. I know you and your friends are up to something!” Jou said releasing his hold ion Yami's shoulder and walking away.

Yami growled angrily: “Your friend is paranoid.”

Yugi nodded. “I know but he's still my best friend,” and then added suspiciously: “Is something wrong with your shoulder?”

Yami shook his head and just answered a stern: “No.”

Yugi found Yami's behavior quite interesting…was there something wrong with the older boy? Yugi would have to make it his mission to find out what…

…TBC…

Yuri: So, I'm not going to yell at you guys again, I jus hope you guys keep reviewing so that I can be very very happy! Now I will be updating Disturbia and Closer so I'll see you guys in a few days. Also, you all know by now but yes Violet is Yugi because of his eyes and Lab is Jou (hehe like a labordor retriever). And Silver and Bronze are Ryou and Malik for reasons that should be obvious. Black is just a random name I thought of for Marik. And all of the assassins slightly change their voice when going uncover so I don't want any reviews saying “Well don't they recognize each others voices?” Though they are similar, they all purposely make themselves sound slightly different kk? Don't think too much into it. I also added a new section after my chapters where I respond to my reviewers! Love you all! REVIEW NOW!!
