THE POWER OF LOVE
SUMMARY: NAS's (National Academy of Science) most important scientist had a 'normal live' but one day he finds out some artifacts that hold greatest powers… With the help of his workmate and best friend, they will try to unfold the mysteries behind the millennium items… AU.
CHAPTER 1:
NAS: 00:30
A big dark room could be seen, there were a lot of desks with papers scattered all over waiting for the morning to come and then start again the work. Only a sound of a keyboard buttons could be heard among the ruling silence. A silhouette of a man dressing in a white and large laboratory coat was sitting in front of a computer fingering wildly on it. He had red, black and blond spiky hair with golden bangs that framed his face, beautiful features and used transparent glasses that reflected the flickering image showing the computer.
He was very concentrated on what he was typing. A drop of sweat traveled his forehead and cheek getting lost on his neck. The computer screen showed a report of a research about the energy experimentation. That was the project of his workmate Seto Kaiba, who was one of the main scientists of this specific department. Kaiba suddenly gathered a group of excellent and experimented people to help him develop the project. Basically it was about the energy study in all its aspects. The project tried to prove that physic energy that could be seen also could be manageable by humans.
He lightly moved his head in a negative way while continuing writing. It was obvious that Kaiba was some crazy and lunatic man in working out this, but, he couldn't do anything besides of help and carry out his job.
He stopped writing and took a last look to his report inclining himself on the back of the chair.
-Finally, I finished
He took the mouse and saved the document on a CD, then, he turned off the computer. He stayed a moment sitting on the chair with his eyes closed by the tiredness he felt, listening to the thick silence of the room. He lifted up of his chair and took his suitcase. Kept the CD on it and headed towards the door.
When he was walking down the hall, he heard some strange noises coming from one room in special. He narrowed his eyes and stood in front of the door where he heard the noise.
'Laboratory V: only authorized personal'
He mind read the sign and put his ear against the door to see if he could hear something.
-I tell you, it is not like this! –Someone he could not make out said
-We have to follow each of the steps of the book!-said a hushed voice
-That is what I'm doing stupid!-The first voice spat
-I'm tired, maybe we should continue tomorrow.-a third voice said
-Ok, ok, put in order this mess and hide everything, nobody have to find out about this, hurry!- he heard a woman voice spat
-Yes, madam
He felt footsteps heading for the door and he quickly got away and hided in one of the service room that luckily was open for some strange reason. He inclined himself towards the small window that had the door to see who they were. He just made out three man figures and one of a woman that rapidly disappeared in the darkness of the hall. He stayed a moment on the service room thinking about what he had just seen and heard.
-What the hell was that? –he mumbled to himself opening carefully the door and heading for the exit of the building and towards his apartment
Muto Apartment –North of the City: 1:30
Yami arrived to his apartment on the fourth floor of Dan Carlton apartment complex. He opened the door and entered quietly without making any loud noises. He gently put his keys and suitcase on the table and turned on the light of the living room.
On his face outlined a soft smile that disappeared as soon as it appeared. There, on the couch was Yugi, his little brother, sleeping deeply and in a position not at all comfortable. Yami sighed. He hated make his little brother wait until late for him, without counting the many times he had said to him about go to sleep early on the bed and not worrying about him. Yami took off his lab coat and throw it on the nearby chair, then; he approached to Yugi and carefully picked him up and carried him to his room.
Yami laid him on his bed and put the sheets around him making he stirred a little. He just looked to his sleeping form and remembered that event he wanted to forget…
-Flashback-
They were in the car, with mom and dad, laughing and singing all the way to their parent's farm.
-Are we there yet mommy? –asked a five years old Yugi hugging his mom by the back of her seat
-No, honey. Be patient ok, we will arrive soon.-she said lovely rubbing his hands that were on her neck.
-Yugi is better if you correctly seat and buckle-up your seat belt –Dad said looking at him by the mirror.
-Yes, daddy –Yugi let go of his mom neck and sat again trying to buckle up his belt without success.
-Here, let me do it –a fifteen years old Yami said and helped him with his belt
-Thankiu brother –he said
Then a loud horn was heard and two big lights were heading straight to their car blocking the vision of all four…
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hospital
Yami opened his eyes and looked to his surroundings. He could make out a white room with medical scent. He turned his head to the side and found a nurse staring at him.
-Where… -he barely whispered
-You are in the hospital boy. Don't worry, you are fine. –the nurse said reassuring him
-My brother… mom… dad… -he tried to ask but he felt a dry throat and mouth
-Your brother is fine and your mom is recovering but your dad… -she paused not knowing how to tell him. He just closed his eyes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two days later
Yami was grabbing Yugi by the hand while they walked towards their mom room. When they entered Yugi released off his grip and went running to his mom side crying and sobbing desperately.
-Mommy... mommy… I love you… -he cried hugging his mom. She hugged back and whispered in his ear.
-Me too… baby… be a good boy…-she said.
Yami walked to her side, tears wetting his eyes and threatened to fall. He saw that his mother had bruises, blows and dry blood on her beautiful face and her expression was full of pain, her once bright violet eyes now opaque by the tears.
She extended her hand for him to take. He took it and stayed besides Yugi who now was holding her other hand.
-Yami…-she whispered- take care of your brother, never let him be alone…-she paused her voice broking-Be strong, never let yourself or your brother fall, wherever happens, baby, remember I loved you and I will still love you…-tears now were running freely off his eyes. He tightened his grip on her hand
-Yugi…honey, don't cry… do all your brother said, be a good boy to him, take care of him, both of you always must be together… remember Yugi, I love you and will always love you…-she said closing her eyes and loosing her grip on their hands.
-Mommy?... –Yugi sobbed still grabbing her hand.
Then a loud and continuous sound was heard. Two doctors and two nurses entered quickly in the room and took them away off the bed, then, they started to treat her.
A single tear ran away of Yami's eyes while he held a crying Yugi against him in a hug. He was going to be strong for his brother.
End of flashback
-"Seven years have passed and I still hear her voice… 'be strong'…"-he thought walking towards the door and closing it.
Next day- NAS: 7:00
They were people going of one place to another, carrying papers, carpets and other stuff. Some people wore white lab coats, the once who wore blue were the lower scientist that didn't have much experience like the white ones.
A short brown haired woman was giving some orders to her workmates. Today was taking place the first experiment about physic energy; she was guiding the others to take the instruments necessary for the experiment. She was wearing a white lab coat, under it; she had a yellow stretch shirt and black skirt with black boots that reached her knees. She was beautiful and the make-up made her see fabulous. All men, including scientist, assistants or the service always were startled by her beauty. She felt flattered by that.
She sat down on her desk to finish the last retouching to the program, when she heard a very familiar voice.
-Is all ready Mss Mazaki?- Seto Kaiba with other two people who were Pegasus Crawford, a very rich man who was financed the project and was scientist too, and other man she couldn't tell who he was, were standing in front of her.
She stood immediately and replied.
-Hello, Mr Kaiba, we are making some final touch but in a hour we will be ready –she said in a serious and secure tone.
-Good –he motioned to his companions to go before him, then, he caressed her cheek with his hand
-Dear, you are so tense, relax, did you sleep well? –he said lowering his caress to her neck and collar-bone.
-Yes, I'm ok –she grabbed his hand and took it away of her neck harshly
-Don't be so harsh –he said sending her a lusty stare –You're so hot…-he steeped near her
-This is not the moment or the time –she said steeping away
-Fine –he surrender and turned to leave but then stopped
-Where is Muto? –he asked crossing his arms around his chest
-I don't know –she said turning to sit while thinking why he hadn't arrived yet
-We can't start without him! Better if he hurry!!- he turned towards his companions
Muto's Apartment – 7:45
Protect us… Keep us… Don't let they awake us!!!... Guard us… 'destroy us!!'… Is the only way… hurry!!...
-Yami? Yami! Wake up brother! –Yugi said shaking him strongly
Yami opened his eyes and met two round violet ones staring back at him with worry
-Brother, are you okay? –Yugi asked concern filled all over his face
-Yes, I'm ok Yug, did you sleep well? –Yami grabbed Yugi's arms to help him stand up and almost tripped and fell on the floor if it wasn't for Yugi who grabbed him in time.
-Brother, you are not okay! You are sweating all over and have a little fever! –he put a hand on his forehead and felt it was warmer and his cheeks were warmer too.
-Yugi, don't worry. I'm fine. I just didn't sleep enough. –he said taking gently his hand away of his forehead
-At what time did you arrive? –Yugi asked him crossing his arms around his chest
-I know I came very late but I have work to do, Yug, understand me. Don't be mad.
-I understand, and I'm not mad. I never could be mad at you. You are my big brother –he said hugging him and Yami hugged back, suddenly he remembered something.
-"Today is the experiment!!"
-Yugi, what time is it? –he asked while releasing his hug and searching for his towel
-It's… 8 o'clock, why?
-Shit…
NAS -8:45
Anzu was walking around really stressed for the project and for a certain red eyes man that hadn't arrived yet. All the scientist and people on the experiment were already in the laboratory. She was walking around on the entrance of the lab waiting for him. She heard some footsteps get near her and suddenly felt a breath on her neck behind her.
-Why don't you come inside? We will have to start without him.-he said grabbing her shoulders and turning her around. She met with cold icy blue eyes.
-He is important for this project, we have to wait –she said trying to turn around but he didn't let her
-Why such a concern about him? Tell me –he said tightening his grip
-Is none of your business! Let me go! –she ordered him but he didn't obeyed
-I miss you Anzu, until when are you going to stop rejecting me? Ah? I still love you! I can't take you out of my mind! When I see you I can't concentrate anymore! I want you Anzu… -In every word he took a step forward and she took a step back until she met the wall and his face came dangerously close to her and their mouth almost met.
-Sorry I'm… -Yami stopped in mid-sentence to see that scene. Seto Kaiba had against the wall to Anzu and their faces millimeters away of each other.
-…late… -he finished in a low voice staring at the two.
Anzu, when she saw Yami, pushed Kaiba off her and just stood there, her heart beating fast while she looked into his red eyes. He was wearing the white lab coat, as usual; under it, he had a black undershirt, leather black pants and black shoes. His glasses making him see intellectual and his suitcase on his right hand. His golden bangs framing his face perfectly.
-"He is so gorgeous"-thought Anzu and her cheeks blushed a little but Yami only deduced that she was embarrassed for being caught in action with Seto Kaiba.
He felt a pang of sadness and he lowered his eyes for a reason he couldn't figure out in the moment. He didn't say anymore and continue walking through them and into the lab.
-Why are you late? –he heard Seto yell behind him
-I don't have time to give explanations –He yelled back not bothering in turning around.
He entered on the lab and there were all ready waiting for him
-Ok –he said loud and clear –we are here to witness the first experiment of the project –he paused turning to see Anzu and Kaiba enter. Kaiba stayed among the scientist who were setting all ready while Anzu walked towards him and stayed beside him. He looked at her for a brief moment and then continued –We are starting the experiment of physic energy now –he said and walked to the main computer. Anzu followed him and took her position on the computer.
-Ok, start the initializer –he commanded while rapidly typing some codes on the main computer, he could felt Anzu doing the same.
-Initializer ready! –yelled one of the scientist, Joey Wheeler. A green light appeared on an experimentation table that had a hole in the middle.
-Good, now inject 50 percent of the energy –Yami commanded while continuing writing on the keyboard. The screen showed him the status. It was going well.
-Energy settled sir –yelled another scientist, Tristan Taylor. The lights of the lab started to twinkle. All scientists looked at them so Anzu and Kaiba but Yami barely noticed. A second green light appeared on the table
-Now, final moment, set the stabilisher –he commanded at the same time finishing of typing
-Stabilisher set! –yelled Joey again
A third green light appeared on the table and it started to tremble. Yami narrowed his eyes and Anzu walked and stood beside him staring at the table too. Suddenly a big dark ball of energy appeared in the center of the table levitating on the air. It emanated amounts of energy and little flash of lightning could be seen among it. Yami stared directly on the center of the big dark ball. The center was white and semi-transparent. He kept looking and soon started to feel dizzy. He grabbed the rail for support and closed his eyes a little. Anzu noted his expression and was about to ask him when the ball suddenly disappeared with a loud noise and all the energy of the building gone out.
Gasps of surprise could be heard among the darkness that surrounded the place. Anzu found Yami's shoulder and could tell he was knelt. She kneeled as well.
-Are you okay Yami? –she asked grabbing his arm and helping him to raise up
-Yes, I just felt a little dizzy, that's all –he said letting her help him. All was so dark he couldn't see a thing.
-Come on. We have to get out of this darkness
Anzu walked besides him groping where to put her feet so she didn't fell, but she couldn't avoid trip with a tube that was on the floor. She gasped and Yami noticed in time and was able to catch her before she fell. She ended in his arms, her face against his chest getting lost on his masculine fragrance. She felt her heat rising and was grateful for the dark that wrapped them so he couldn't notice the blush she was sure was there.
-Are you okay? –he asked on his baritone voice
-Yes… thanks… -she stammered
He let go of her and grabbed her hand.
-So you couldn't fall again. Follow me. –he guided her into the main room where all scientists worked. Suddenly the light returned.
-Oh! Good. –he said releasing her hand
-It worked! It worked! Fantastic! –yelled an excited Joey and soon all men join him on the celebration.
Yami just looked at them and laughed softly to their show of excitement. Anzu smiled as well to seeing him laugh. It was one of the rare moments she saw him laugh, and she felt happy.
-Well, well, Kaiba, I think your project is going like I want, excellent!-Pegasus exclaimed to Kaiba walking towards the exit
-Call me to my office, now I have to go
-Right –Kaiba mumbled seeing Pegasus walk towards the exit.
-Man! We did it!-exclaimed Joey to Yami while hugging him very strongly and taking away the air of his lungs.
-Yeah… Joey… I can't… breathe… -Joey released his hug letting Yami breath and then hugged Anzu.
-I can't believe it work for fifteen seconds! –Said Tristan handing him a mini pc for Yami to see. He saw the numbers.
-Yes, is unbelievable, I barely thought it would work –said Yami handing him again the mini pc
-Muto! To my office! –yelled Kaiba so loud that all went quiet and stared to Yami. He just put his most serious expression and walked towards his office. Every one just looked at him, Anzu with worried eyes.
-Yes sir? –he asked after entering and closing the door behind him
-We have to go hear something! Come on! –Joey motioned Tristan to follow and the majority of the scientist followed. Anzu just sat on her desk. She would ask Yami personally.
Joey, Tristan and most of the scientist were glued to the door with their ears against it to see if they could hear something, and all the conversation was heard perfectly.
-I have to congratulate you in today's success. You were the header of this experiment, and it worked surprisingly.
-Thanks for your words
-But, you didn't answer the question I made you early
-I got until late finishing the report of the experiment and didn't have time to sleep enough, so I got up late today –he handed him a CD labeled 'Physic Experiment I'
-Oh, ok
-Can I go now?-he asked urgently. He didn't want to be on the presence of this man. It was his workmate, likely his boss but he couldn't eliminate off his mind that little scene he found when he got there.
-Not yet…What do you have with Anzu Mazaki? –Seto went straight to the point that was bothering him weeks ago. He couldn't stand the closeness Anzu had with this man and he would cut the root since the beginning.
Outside, gasps escaped of the mouth of Joey and Tristan as well as the other scientist that were glued to the door.
-This is becoming interesting… -whispered Tristan to all of them
-I beg your pardon? –Yami asked believing he had heard wrong
-What you heard Muto! What do you have with her? –he asked directly staring at him who stared back with a serious face
-Why do you ask me that? – He said feeling annoyed by the questionnaire.
-Just answer me! –Seto said raising off his chair and hitting the desk with his fist
-Nothing… we are just friends –he said staring at a spot on the nearby wall
-I hope that to be true! –He said turning to seat again –Dismissed.
Yami reluctantly walked towards the door and opened to find the majority of the men as well as Joey and Tristan suspiciously walking around, whistling and looking to the ceiling.
Yami just sighed. There are some things that never changed. He passed through all of them, headed for his desk, sat up and occupied himself on something.
He couldn't believe Seto had made that little jealousy scene for him, it was so stupid.
-"Moron…"
Anzu saw Yami got out of the office and she immediately headed for where he was on his desk. She approached him and sat down on a chair next to him
-Yami, why came you late today?
-I got up late –he said no bothering of staring at her. He just kept staring to the screen.
-Again working until late? You are going to get sick. –she said worried
-Someone has to, so this could work –he answered still staring at the screen and clicking with the mouse
-Why Kaiba called you in that way?
He couldn't stand anymore and stared at her beautiful blue eyes. He noted that today she was more beautiful than other days. Her gloss made her pink lips seem desirable. He shook out these thoughts. She was his friend, just his best friend.
-Your little boyfriend over there has just made to me a scene of jealousy, so I suggest you to control him –he blurted out turning to look at the pc again
-What? What are you talking about? –she said sounding confused
-Hey, why didn't you tell me you were couple? I thought I was your best friend! –he said with a pang of anger and sadness at the same time boiling up in the bottom of his heart.
-He's not my boyfriend! Where did you get those ideas? –she said agitated for the misunderstanding
-I think that little scene he had just made me and the other scene I found when I got here are very thought-provoking-he said again staring at her.
He then noticed that all men were very concentrated on listening to their conversation, Joey and Tristan were on first line eating and drinking some sodas. Anzu noticed as well
-What the hell are you looking at?- they exclaimed together
-Get to work! –Yami yelled and all men dispersed to do their things. Joey and Tristan just disappeared fearing for their lives.
-Yami! All is a misunderstanding! I never would be his girlfriend! I'm not so crazy! –she said putting her hand on his hand which was holding the mouse. He just stared again to her. She felt a urgently need of explain him that the things not were like he was imagining.
-He chases me all over! He's obsessed! Sometimes I feel scared of what he might do to me… -she finished lowering her eyes
-He what? –Said Yami processing the info she was giving to him –Why didn't you tell me? –he asked her frowning slightly his eyebrows.
-I thought I could handle it, but I see I can't… -she said staring at him again- I didn't want to bother you with this…
He shook his head closing his eyes and putting his other hand over her hand.
-Anzu, what concerns you concerns me, you know that.
Anzu just remained in silence staring at their hands. He was so kind and gently. Every day she liked him more. Her heart started to pound faster.
-I will protect you, ok, don't worry. I will do anything for you Anzu… -he lifted his hand and caressed her cheek.
She loved when he did that, contrary to Seto's touch, this was kind, gently and warmer. His hand felt so soft that she put her hand against his on her cheek
-Thanks…-she said smiling at him
He just smiled back feeling her soft and sweet skin under his fingers.
In a nearby window stood a pair of blue eyes staring at the scene with his arms on the back. Anger filled his eyes and voice.
-'We are just friends', yeah, right. You don't know in what you got yourself into… Muto…
