Die For Me
'I watched you. I met you. I kissed you. I asked you. I married you. I killed for you. I died for you. Now... I'm waiting for you to return to me. So that I may love you for the rest of my immortality.'
Crimson searching for Violet.
Damnit! Yami Sennen thought as he strained to see through the windshield. The rain battered down mercilessly as the storm raged on. It was coal black outside, the only light was the dim headlights of the car and the bright lightening that lit up the dark clouds of the sky.
In Yami's car was Yugi Motou, Ryou, Tea and Bakura. Yugi was slouched in the passenger's seat, his head leaning against the car window as he slept peacefully. In the back, Ryou was sleeping against Bakura, who had his arm around the smaller albino. In the corner, with Yugi's jacket wrapped around her cold shoulders, Tea was also sleeping. The only ones awake in the car were Yami and Bakura, but they didn't utter a sound in case they awoke their partners.
Behind Yami, another car followed. This one was smaller and slightly more luxerious. On it's name plate was a bold KC that stood for KaibaCorp. Seto kaiba, the youngest CEO, was the driver with his passengers being Joey Wheeler, Marik, Malik and Tristen Taylor. Joey sat beside Seto, but he'd undone his seatbelt and was turned in his seat so that he could play rock-paper-scissors with Tristen. In the other two seats Marik and Malik were talking to themselves whilst watching Joey and Tristen's game.
Seto looked in his mirror and raised a eyebrow when he saw Joey lose once again to picking paper. Tristen gave a victory whoop and offered another round.
Looking back to the front, Seto watched carefully where his cousin drove. The ten of them had gone on a vacation, leaving all of the different work and jobs, to go to Seto's country mansion where they spent two fun-filled weeks playing around and falling even deeper in love. Seto couldn't help but smile when he thought of love.
He glanced towards Joey. The shaggy blonde was almost climbing over his seat to throttle Tristen. Everyone had been shocked when they found out that Seto and Joey were dating. It had all started when Joey's father had kicked him out the house. Joey knew the Motou's didn't have space, Tea's place would have been awful, Tristen's family was just plain wierd, and Bakura, Ryou, Malik and Marik's houses would probably be noisey at night ( you know what happens at night ;) ). So that left Kaiba. After lugging a bag and a small cardboard box of his belongings, Joey walked all the way to Kaiba's mansion.
After he'd heard his story, Kaiba had offered him a room in his home. They'd been living together for almost a year now.
Seto's thoughts wandered to everyone else.
Marik and Bakura had been friends during highschool. They were what you call 'bad-boys' and 'the sexy ones'. Before they met Ryou and Malik a few weeks into the new term, they'd taken a liking to the newbies and took them under their wing. After a few months of friendship, they began going-out. Even though Marik and Bakura were rough and often didn't express how they felt, Malik and Ryou both knew that they cared about them. Ryou had even gone so far as to say that he expected a proposal before the new year.
Yami and Yugi were a whole different story. Yugi had come from a family that was tight with money. He only bought what he needed and those experiences made him humble and grateful. Yami had been born into a rich family that was high in the social-status. When Yugi and Yami had met they'd instantly taken a liking to each other. Yugi for his sweet nature and innocence, and Yami for his strength and protectiveness. Ever since, the two had become inseperable friends and had taken care of each other. When highschool started they stayed friends, but Yugi developed some problems. Before and after school he would get cornered by gangs of bullies that would beat him till he was black and blue. When Yami asked about the injuries, Yugi would tell him a lie. It was when Yami caught Yugi and the bullies that Yugi found out what Yami was truely capable of. The pure rage in Yami's face was terrifying. After that all bullies knew to stay away from Yugi as he was now marked as Yami's personal property. When they became sophmores, Yami took a chance and asked Yugi out. They'd been boyfriends for a few years now and it was a small secret that Yami and Yugi were planning to get married when Yugi finished his advanced college courses.
Seto gazed out the windows into the rain and wind. The storm was getting worse. Fumbling in his coat pocket, Seto pulled out a ridiculously thin, silver cellular and called Yami's number.
YGO-YGO-YGO-YGO-YGO-YGO
In the mostly sleeping car, Yami was sitting straight up in his seat, glaring with heated crimson eyes as he struggled to see the road. He let out an exsperated sigh when his cell lit up and started buzzing. Picking it up, he unlocked it, "Hello?"
"Yami, how long till we reach a pitstop? We can't go much further in the weather."
Yami glanced around his sleeping occupants, then to the battering rain, "Yeah, we should make a stop for the night. I've completely lost where we're heading. We were supposed to have reached Domino four hours ago."
Beside Yami, Yugi stirred from his slumber. He smiled groggily and cuddled into Yami's side, listening in to what the cousins were saying. When Yami let out an annoyed growl deep inside his throat, Yugi sat up in his chair and pressed a small kiss onto his boyfriend's cheek before gazing aimlessly out the windshield. His sleepy violet eyes caught on something that was only a few metres in front of their car. It took a second to realise what it was.
In front of the car, ready to be run over, was a man with spiky hair, deathly pale skin and dull ruby eyes. His clothes were torn and silver scars seemed to glimmer. The man's face was lifeless, but before Yugi could comprehend what to do, the dead eyes snapped to his and Yugi saw the rubies shine with life suddenly.
Yugi felt horror grip him and his lips opened into a scream, "Yami!"
Yami took his attention away from his conversation with Seto, looked to the front of the car... And saw nothing. Yami looked quizzically to Yugi. But, then Yugi, feeling adrenalin course through his veins by the feeling of killing someone, threw his weight onto the wheel. The squeals of the car tyres on the slippery, wet road was the last thing they heard as everyone in the car was jolted awake as the vehicle went skidding. There was a screech as Seto braked his own car as he slammed into the back of Yami's. Screams and shouts echoed as Yami's car rolled once, twice, three times. The vehicle rolled for a final time and there was a shrill cry from Tea as the car took a final roll onto it's head. Behind them, Seto's car spun and smashed right into the side of Yami's car.
"Yugi," Yami choked out, feeling blood quickly flowing into his mouth, "What... W-What the hell was t-that?"
Yugi couldn't answer. He groaned, immediatly missing his own warm bed and the game shop. He was hanging upside down from his seat, as was everyone else. Yugi undid his seat belt and he let out a agonized scream as he landed on his arm on large shards of glass. He felt the sharp edges go right through his skin and he stifled his cry by biting his lip.
Crawling out of the car, Yugi felt glass and metal cut into his body. He felt blood running down the left side of his head. His left ear was thudding and it felt warm and wet. His arm felt like it was burning and his legs refused to work. Once he was safely out the car, Yugi curled into a fetal position on the ground and he did the only thing he knew, he cried. As the tears ran down, mixing with blood and rain, Yugi felt vomit rise in his throat. Unable to move or stand up from the pain in his neck and limbs, Yugi found himself vomiting onto his shirt.
Finally it passed and Yugi continued crying. It was dark and he heard voices screaming, crying and yelling. It was too dark. He couldn't see. The shadows were closing in o him; pressing against him. Yugi urged his legs to his chest and, before he was lost conciousness, he gave an ear piercing scream, hoping that Yami haad heard him. Immediatly the voices that seemed so far away seemed to come closer. The sound of running feet. Just before Yugi blacked out, he felt a pair of warm, wet arms encircle him. A blanket was tucked carefully around his shaking body and he was held close to a familiar chest.
But... It wasn't familiar in way. This one felt as if he were almost passing right through the flesh and bone. Yugi opened an eye and forced it to stay open as rain fell onto his eyeball.
The face that stared down at him. It looked like Yami, except it was tanner and the man's eyes were a chilly red rather than an astonishing crimson.
"It is alright, Love... You are fine. I will never let you leave my side again, my Dear..." The man's lips moved, but Yugi could barely hear what he was saying as his vision went black.
I wrote this for fun as it's been nagging me since I came out of the head trauma ICU. The accident I wrote in this chapter was similar to what happened to me in January. I'll try update all the stories as fast as I can, but I haven't been feeling very well lately. I really, really, really hope you won't give up on my stories and I'll work as hard as I can. I luv you all! I hope you enjoyed this chapter and please RLR (Read, Love, Review). :)
