Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Yugivania 2 ❯ Chapter 5

Yugivania 2 By Sakura (L-sama no Miko)   Chapter 5   “You!” the blond kyuuketsuki spat, baring his fangs at his sire. “I am glad you’re alive, Leon,” Joachim said, smiling sadly. The silver haired kyuuketsuki’s swords quivered as they spun around, unsure if the slightly shorter one was an enemy or not. “I have missed you my rebellious angel.” “I wish I could say I feel the same,” the former vampire hunter said bitterly. “I have no desire to fight you. I will do as you say my sire and find nourishment elsewhere.” The blond kyuuketsuki turned to go, failing to see the hurt look on his maker’s face, his familiars vibrating in anger at the pain they sensed from him. “Leon-dono matte!(wait)” came a small voice. He stopped, startled by the sudden intruder. Turning back around, he saw a petite teen with multicolored spiky hair running up to them from the camp. “You’re Leon, aren’t you?” Midnight blue eyes narrowed slightly at him, realizing the boy was another like him. “I see you didn’t waste anytime replacing me after I left,” not liking that after hundreds of years, he still had feelings for the silver haired kyuuketsuki. “Tell me, Joachim, how many others have you seduced into damnation?” The little kyuuketsuki growled and hissed at him. Joachim placed an arm in front of him, silently telling him not to interfere. “You wound me, Leon. Never in all this time have I made another after you, my angel.” “Do not call me that again,” the blond warned, his hand straying to the sword at his hip. “Strike me down, if you like, I know I deserve your hatred Belmont,” Joachim said dismissing the swords. Yugi wanted to protest, but the silver haired kyuuketsuki shushed him. “But leave the little one out of this.” He then shoved the smallest of the three behind him, using his own body as a shield. Leon’s hand left the sword. “What is he to you, Joachim? Your latest plaything then?” “Of course not!!” he yelled, “He is my lover!” The blond kyuuketsuki laughed scornfully. “That is a good one, Joachim. You never loved anyone, not your sire, not even me. You care only for yourself.” “You’re wrong!” the little one shouted, standing before him and glaring at him in the eye. “Joachim-sama is the most kind, gentle, and loving person I’ve met other than my sire. How dare you insult him like that! Can’t you see that you’re hurting him?! He’s been hurting all this time because you left, and you acting like a baka (idiot), isn’t making it any better! He loved you and you threw him away! I don’t know why he still does, but he does. He’s sorry for what he did, you know. Can’t you just forget what happened in the past and start over?! Joachim-sama needs you!” “Yugi!” the silver haired kyuuketsuki, chided. Leon stood stock still, not believing this fledgling barely two centuries old was daring to speak to him in such a disrespectful way. “He told you all this I assume,” he said, eyeing his sire suspiciously. “Yes. He told me everything. About Walter and you.” “And you believe him?” “I may not have known him as long as you, but in all this time we’ve been together, Joachim-sama has never told a lie.” “He speaks truly, my fledgling,” the silver haired kyuuketsuki added, placing a hand on Yugi’s shoulder. “I have not lied to him nor will I you. Not this time. Please, Leon, if you have any remote feeling for me, forgive me. I-I beg of you!” Blood red tears ran freely down moonlight skin. Yet again, the blond kyuuketsuki was taken aback. In all his life he had never seen a kyuuketsuki that would openly cry in front of another, let alone beg anything of their fledgling. “Please, Leon-dono,” Yugi pleaded, getting on his knees and placing his head on the ground. “Forgive Joachim-sama. H-He misses you so much.” “You would beg me as well, young one? You who’d readily challenge me only scant minutes ago?” the blond asked, astonished that his sire would garner such loyalty in a fledgling not his own. “H-Hai (Yes) Leon-dono.” He stood silent for a few moments, reflecting on what he’d been through, and what he had seen and heard this night. ‘Perhaps my sire has changed over these past centuries,’ he mused. Bending down, he gently laid a hand on Yugi’s cheek. “Rise little one. I will consider your request. And I do believe my sire may have changed over these long years.” Joachim’s heart leapt at that. “That does not mean I will so readily trust you Joachim. Trust is earned not given freely.” The taller kyuuketsuki nodded solemnly. “I would not expect more from you Leon. Your forgiveness is more than I deserve.” “I would like for myself to see just how changed you are. If you are willing to allow this rebellious angel back to the fold.” Leon was nearly bowled over by a rather enthusiastic Yugi who had him currently trapped in a bear hug. Joachim couldn’t help laughing at the little one’s antics. “It seems you have my dear Yugi’s consent as well as mine,” he said smiling, “Come my angel, you still haven’t eaten and neither have we. We’ll introduce you our friends once you’ve had your fill.” The slightly shorter kyuuketsuki shook his head in disbelief. “You, who used to see mortals as nothing more than a quick meal or distraction, would call them ‘friends’?” His silver haired sire chuckled. “I have had much time to reflect, my wayward childe, upon my many mistakes,” he said as he led them off to hunt. “I am not the same vampire you met at Eternal Night.” “That remains to be seen, however your words do ring some merit,” Leon replied.   ************   Convincing the Vistani to allow Leon to travel with them was no easy feat. The gypsies had long memories and even longer grudges. However, the Raunie, after much consulting with the spirits, and even more begging from Yugi, had finally quelled the angry shouting. The blond kyuuketsuki would be traveling with them and that was the end of it. But there were conditions to his joining them, he was not to be allowed to leave their wagon alone, one of the other two kyuuketsuki were to be with him at all times, should he do so. Secondly, he would be put to work with the men. Leon consented to the Vistani leader’s demands without complaint, which surprised a few of the gypsies, particularly the younger girls who were overjoyed to have yet another handsome man traveling with them. Over the time the three spent wandering with the Vistani, Leon had come to see that indeed his sire had changed, that he was no longer the hotheaded kyuuketsuki he had met at Walter’s castle. When he had told him so, their smaller companion had asked to stay in Isis’ wagon from then on. “Why would you want to do such a thing, little one?” the blond asked in surprise. “Um… well… now that you and Joachim-sama have made up, you’ll be wanting some space,” he replied, looking away. “Nonsense!” Joachim cried, carrying Yugi to the bed, “You are staying put and that’s final!” “D-Demo(But), Joachim-sama.” “If my sire wishes you to stay, young one, you must obey,” Leon said, giving a smirk that belied the serious tone of the words. “L-Leon dono?” “You are correct Joachim, he is too cute for his own good,” he said chuckling before nuzzling the smaller one’s neck. Yugi moaned as twin fangs sank into the soft flesh. Joachim smiled, wrapping his arms around the blond. His wayward fledgling moaned as the silver haired kyuuketsuki mimicked his actions. “Still as tasty as ever, my love,” he purred, leaving the rapidly healing wound to kiss Yugi, who gladly accepted the offering of the blond’s life fluid. He could taste the lust and desire for his silver haired lover in the blood, but what surprised him was that he could also taste a desire for him as well. Looking at the two older kyuuketsuki, he saw what he had tasted in Leon’s blood reflected in pairs of red-violet and midnight blue – love and want for each other and him. Smiling around the dominating mouth, he let the two do what they wanted, shocked and equally overjoyed that they would include him in their love. “Not as tasty as this beauty,” Leon retorted as he licked Yugi’s neck clean, causing a stifled moan from the multicolor haired one. “Are you sure you wish to share him, sire?” he asked, playfully, “Don’t you think I might steal him?” Joachim chuckled, “You do and I will hound you to the ends of the earth to get him back,” he joked back, “Though he is very precious to me, I no longer wish you to think of me as selfish nor fickle.” “I never thought you fickle, love. Selfish yes, but never fickle,” the blond said, working on removing his sire’s clothes while the silver haired kyuuketsuki worked on their smaller companion’s. “Touché, my angel,” Joachim said as he bent to place butterfly kisses on Yugi’s now bare chest.   **************   The new millennium came and went and the three kyuuketsuki had returned to Nihon, now more commonly called Japan. It was a rather bittersweet and poignant moment for the little one when they came to Domino. Though it had grown over the centuries, it still felt like home to him. He had been melancholy upon arriving, but was surprised to learn that there was another mansion standing exactly where the one he’d lived in oh so long ago. Insisting on seeing it, Joachim and Leon allowed the smaller kyuuketsuki to drag them to the outskirts of the city. “It’s not the same,” Yugi said grimly. “Of course not, dear one,” the silver haired kyuuketsuki said, placing his hands on the petit one’s shoulders. “Things made by mortals will always change,” added their blond companion. “I-I know but I had to see it,” Yugi replied, “Let’s find somewhere to stay.” He then turned away from the immense building that now stood on what he considered sacred ground. Leon placed a sympathetic hand on his shoulder while his silver haired lover wrapped an arm around him. “Y-Yugi?!” came a voice from beyond the mansion’s gates. “Is that you Yugi?!” The kyuuketsuki turned back around and amethyst eyes widened in utter shock when they focused on a white haired teen running at unnatural speeds towards them. “R-Ryou-chan?!!!” Yugi echoed jumping over the gates and running to meet his long lost lover. “By the kami! It is you!” the white haired kyuuketsuki shouted in relief. “I’d thought I’d never see you again! Where have you been?! Are you all right? Can you stay for a bit?” “One question at a time, Ryou-chan,” Yugi said chuckling. “Um…” He looked toward his taller companions, still behind the gate. The two older kyuuketsuki nodded, giving him permission to go with his former lover. “Oh, I didn’t know you were with someone,” Ryou said, slightly disappointed. ‘I should have known he’d move on,’ he chided himself, ‘After all it’s been hundreds of years since we’ve been together.’ “Oi Ryou!” called a tall tanned man from further up the driveway. “Marik-sama!!!!” Yugi then sped up said driveway and tackled his former master to the ground. “Glad to see you too, koneko (kitten),” he said placing a chaste kiss on Yugi’s forehead. “Ano… would you like to come in, sirs?” Ryou asked, stifling his giggles. “Are you sure it’s all right, young one?” the paler blond asked. “You’re Yugi’s… lovers, correct?” “Yes we are, little one,” the silver haired kyuuketsuki replied, “However…” “Should he choose you, who he has missed so, we will not force ourselves upon him,” Leon finished. Ryou blushed, causing the silver haired man to smile in amusement. “I take it you have another lover of your own now as well?” he asked noticing the other blond eyeing him warily. Ryou nodded guiltily, blushing even more. “I remember you,” Marik said, coming over to them, “You were at a party once, I think.” “You have excellent memory, great one,” Joachim said bowing low. The blond flushed, “Just Marik, please. I never did like all this polite crap,” he said, “Why don’t you come in and join us for a while? I’m sure our dear Yugi would love a chance to see his family again.” “We would be honored, Lord Marik,” the silver haired kyuuketsuki replied. “Enough already!” the tan blond shot in mock anger, “No ‘Lord’ or ‘Sir, please it’s just Marik. Come, I’ve sent the little one ahead.” They followed their host to the mansion. Joachim had to stifle a laugh when he saw his little lover currently glomping a more evil looking twin of the albino kyuuketsuki they saw at the gate. “YOU’VE HAD ME WORRIED SICK YOU DAMNED GAKI (BRAT)!!!!! YOU DON’T KNOW HOW UPSET POOR RYOU WAS WHEN WE LEARNED YOU WENT INTO THAT FIRE!!!!!” “I-I’m s-sorry, Bakura-sama!! I-I-I wanted to h-help K-Katsuya-kun.” The taller albino chuckled, ruffling his hair and kissed his fledgling’s forehead. “Just DON’T ever do that again. Welcome home, little love.” He then looked at the two kyuuketsuki standing a bit to the side. “Friends of yours, Yugi?” The little one hung his head slightly, feeling guilty for having fallen for them. “Um… there’s something you have to know, Bakura-sama. I’m um… that is…” The albino looked at him, curiously, but waited for him to find the words he was obviously searching for. “What our dear Yugi is trying to say is,” the silver haired kyuuketsuki interrupted, “that we are not just friends. And have been for quite some time.”  Yugi blushed and nodded. “I see,” Bakura said, sadly, but before his fledgling could apologize – it was obvious that was what he was going to do by the look on his face – the white haired kyuuketsuki smiled. “Then this won’t be too hard for you to take, Yugi. I too have a confession to make and I believe Ryou-koi and Marik have one as well.” Yugi turned to the shorter albino and blond kyuuketsuki. “You see, Yugi,” Ryou began, head starting to droop, “None of us knew if you were alive and, well…” “Eternity can be a *bleep* if you’re forced to go through it alone,” Bakura added. “I’m sure you understand what we’re trying to say, koneko,” Marik said, wrapping his arms around Ryou’s waist, the smaller albino leaning into the embrace gratefully. “You and Marik-sama?!” he asked, no sign of jealousy on his cherubic features. “I’m glad you weren’t alone either Ryou-chan. Um… Bakura-sama?” he queried when he noticed his sire desperately trying not to let the haunted look in his eyes show. “I’m afraid I wasn’t so lucky, little love. I do have someone now, but not a lover like you or Ryou. I’d rather not talk about it, please?” Yugi was about to protest and press further when, a new voice spoke up. “Hey what’s all the noise about?” a mortal boy about ten or twelve years old asked, coming into the living room. “Oh hi, Atem I didn’t know you were coming over. I’ll tell ‘nii-sama you’re here.” “Wait, Mokuba,” Marik called. “This isn’t Atem. This is Yugi, the kyuuketsuki we were searching for, for so long.” Several eyebrows rose at that statement. “Yes he knows about us,” he explained to his guests’ unspoken question. “Oh! Well hello, Yugi, I’m Kaiba Mokuba!” he said holding out a hand. “Kaiba?!” Yugi asked, in surprise, not expecting any of the original Kaiba family to still be around after over 600 years.   ~TBC~   Sakura: Yay!!
