Angel of Darkness
This is an AU I made. It has nothing to do with the song 'Angel of Darkness' I just like the title and it makes sense.
Warning: FEM!Yugi, rated T for cussing(rating WILL go up later on), Yami and Atem are seperate people, and my OC has a different look.
Flamers beware.
The rest of you enjoy^^
Ch. 1: Blood Sisters
The sound of whimpering was heard as a young girl with spiky tri-colored hair of black, purple, and blonde coward in fear as some mean-looking boys twice her size leered at her.
"P-Please! Not today!" The girl whimpered her pleas for them not to pummel her to a bloody pulp. They laughed at her and got ready to punch her.
"Touch her and you die." A confident voice spoke, distracting the bullies. They turned to see a replica of the girl they were about to beat up, only with crimson at the tips instead of purple and bangs hung in her face and her eyes to were hidden from view since her head was downcast.
"Shelen!" The first girl cried happily, knowing her friend would save her. Shelen glared at the bullies as they rounded on her.
"What? You gonna protect your baby sister?" One mocked. Shelen's head snapped up and the boys eyes widened at the fury that burned in the depths of the eyes. The orbs themselves were almost demonic.
"Let her go and you can live." Shelen said in a deadly calm tone. The boys gulped but the leader laughed and to prove she was bluffing, ran at her. The next thing he knew, she had him on the ground in ten seconds flat. He looked up at her with fear as she glared down at him.
"Want me to break your arm off?" She threatened.
"N-No! P-Please let me go!" The boy begged. She scoffed and released his arm which was twisted behind his back, then the boy scrambled to his feet and ran. The gang followed him. Shelen then turned to the other girl and bent down.
"You ok?" She asked tenderly. The girl nodded and Shelen picked up their backpacks.
"C'mon, Yugi, my dad's cooking tonight so you and your gramps are coming over." Shelen said as she picked up the bag and slung it over her shoulder with her own.
"Ok." Yugi nodded and followed her friend.
The two had been friends since kindergarden and were inseperatable. Some would say they really were sisters. But both said they were only friends. Now at the age of 8 the two took care of eachother. Shelen took care of bullies that tormented her friend for her odd hairstyle and weak demenor while Yugi would help Shelen to keep her temper in check.
"Sister?" Yugi asked, even though she and Shelen weren't related Yugi thought of her friend as her sister.
"Yeah?"
"How can you be so brave?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You fought that guy like he was nothing, then you were able to scare them off. How do you do it?"
"Simple," Shelen stopped and turned to Yugi then pointed to her own crimson eyes, "They already think I'm a demon so I just have to find their weak point then turn it on them. He was terrified anyway so it's no big deal."
"Oh...I wish I was like you. Maybe people would stop picking on me if I was like you." Yugi said. Another thing to distinguish the two was the eye color. Yugi's were amethyst while Shelen's were bloody crimson.
Shelen scowled.
"Don't. It's not as cool as you think. People avoid you and you can't control your temper. It's like being an exile. And you are fine the way you are. Perfect even. Don't let my scary personality reach your sweet, innocent one." Shelen said firmly. She then ruffled Yugi's hair and they continued walking.
When they got to the 'Silver Bay Cafe' Shelen unlocked the door and let Yugi in, then they walked up the stairs to the flat above.
"Dad, we're home!" Shelen called. There wasn't a reply. Shelen tossed the bags onto the couch and walked over to the fridge then saw the note. She read it then turned back to Yugi.
"Dad's at the store getting the stuff for tonight." She said.
"That's fine. Grandpa doesn't close shop for another hour anyway." Yugi replied. The two then went up the stairs to Shelen's room to play. They played with Duel Monster cards having always been fans of the game even at such a young age.
"Shelen! I'm home!" A voice called from downstairs. Shelen looked up and smiled. She then stood and Yugi followed suit. They hurried down the stairs and Shelen hugged the man standing at the foot of the stairs. He had short black hair and emerald green eyes, glasses were placed over his eyes and a shaggy black beard was on his face.
"Hi, Dad!" She said as he let go of her.
"Hi, Mr. Kirole." Yugi greeted shyly.
"Hello you two." Tyson said smiling as he bent down to ruffle the girls hair, "How was school?"
"Ok." Shelen shrugged. Yugi stayed quiet. They had decided it best not to tell Tyson about the bullies. It helped Shelen to get better and Yugi still struggled with trying to be braver but was getting a little better. The bullies bothering her that day had demanded she give them her necklase. A black choker with an amythest hanging from it. It was similar to Shelen's but Shelen wore one with a ruby. Tyson wore a choker like that sometimes as well but his gem was an emerald and instead of hanging from the choker it was embedded in the front.
"Alright then. Solomon will be coming over soon, think you could help me get things ready?" Tyson asked. The girls were always willing to help so they did as they were asked and set the table while Tyson cooked. There was a knock at the door then.
"Hello," Came a muffled voice because of the door, "Special delivery for Yugi Mutou and friends!"
Yugi opened the door and saw her grandfather standing there with a box in his arms.
"Grandpa!" Yugi cheered and hugged her grandfather. He laughed and Tyson took the package from the elderly man as he hugged his grandaughter.
"So what's in the box?" Tyson asked as he looked at the box.
"Oh, just something to help with the news we need to tell THEM tonight." Solomon said as he walked up to the box as well. Tyson looked at the elder man in shock.
"Tonight?" He asked.
"We've waited too long, Tyson. They need to know." Solomon said firmly. Tyson sighed.
"You're right. I just don't know how they'll handle it. Shelen has never liked when I talk about her mother and Yugi...Well she won't be a problem."
"Exactly. They need to know the truth. We must tell them tonight they really are-"
"Really are what?" Shelen suddenly walked up to the adults. They turned to the spiky-haired 3rd grader in alarm.
"Nothing, Shelen." Tyson said nervously. He then told her she would find out after dinner she seemed satisfied. So the girls went back upstairs to play and the adults continued with making dinner.
...
Around 7:30 PM Both guests and hosts were fed and had just finished desert. Solomon had gone to get the box he had brought and the girls sat with Tyson at the table and waited. Solomon came back over and lifted the flaps. He then set the box on the chair next to him and Tyson turned to the girls.
"Girls," He began, they looked at him with rapt attention, "You know how people mistaken you for sisters right?"
"Yeah." Shelen nodded.
"Well, you also know how you never knew your mother?"
Shelen's eyes narrowed. "Yeah." She said more edgy.
"And Yugi, you know how you know nothing of your parents?" Solomon added. Yugi nodded.
"Girls. We're just going to come out and say it. You ARE related. You are twin sisters." Tyson said.
Shelen and Yugi froze in shock. They WERE related? How was that possible? They remained silent.
Solomon pulled from the box an old photo album. He turned to Yugi.
"Yugi," He said. She looked at him, confusion shone freely in her amethyst depths.
"THIS is your mother." Solomon said and slid the album around so that Yugi could see the woman in the picture. She had long goldblonde hair and sapphire blue eyes, one eye was hidden by her bangs like Shelen and her hair was tied in a low ponytail with the holder at the end intead of at the back of her head. She was wearing a dark blue kimono robe with a white kimono under it and was holding a baby in a blanket. Yugi could barely see the purple and black hair poking out.
"She's pretty." Yugi gasped. Shelen clenched her hand in a fist, trying hard not to upturn the album and storm off. The only thing preventing her from doing so was Yugi and her hunger for knollage. As well as Shelen's curiousity.
"Who's my father then?" Yugi asked. Tyson grew uncomfortable and Solomon went silent.
"Yugi...I am your father." Tyson said after a while, "When you and Shelen were born, Shayla-Your mother-was rather young. We weren't married and she needed to find a job. So after a while of caring for you and Shelen...She left. She said she couldn't risk hurting the family with her there, and left. Then after a while...Solomon, or my father, took you in-"
"And made up the story that your parents died in a car crash." Shelen whispered. She was shaking with pent up fury at being told this after so many years, "And told me that I was an only child and called a bastard child at school because of it. So all THIS is because of that bitch!"
"Shelen-" Tyson scolded.
"Why didn't you tell me I have a sister?" Shelen looked up now, tears in her eyes, "Why did you wait so long to tell me that my BEST FRIEND is actually my SISTER?"
"Shelen..." Tyson tried to comfort her. She shrunk away from the touch and glared at him and Solomon.
"So what's my real name then? What about my actual birth date?"
"Shelen, that's enough!" Tyson's voice took on a firm commanding one. They had both stood. Tyson towered over his daughter. She just let the tears fall, bottom lip trembling a bit before she turned and ran up to her room and slammed the door. The other three watched her go. Yugi then stood.
"Daddy?" Yugi said. Tyson turned to her, "I'll go talk to her."
He nodded and she hurried up the stairs to comfort her sister.
"Sister?" Yugi called. There wasn't an answer, "Sister, please let me in?"
More silence. Then the knob turned and Shelen opened it. She looked at Yugi with tears still in her eyes. Yugi too was crying silently. They entered the room and sat on Shelen's bed. Then they hugged eachother.
"It'll be ok, Sister." Yugi sobbed, "We can deal with this!"
"I-I know..." Shelen sobbed, "I'm-I'm sorry Yugi...You should never see me like this...Blubbering over something like that...Woman."
"No." Yugi pulled out the hug a bit and whiped Shelen's tears away, "Don't talk like that! It's ok to cry. Everyone does."
Shelen nodded and gave a weak smile.
"Sister, do you want to BE sisters? Real ones?" Yugi then asked. Shelen looked at her.
"Yes." She nodded, "I want to be real sisters."
"Good." Yugi smiled. Then the girls became tired from all the crying and Shelen from yelling AND crying so they curled up, cuddling eachother in Shelen's bed and fell asleep. True sisters. Blood Sisters.
