Demons of the Night
Chapter Two
---------
The teacher pulled up his black briefcase that was lying on the floor, and opened the combination lock. He pulled out what seems to be...an old-yellowed book. An old-yellowed thick book; already the students were bored out of their minds.
"Alright students, turn to a new unused page in your notebooks. Ahem-hem. Well children, do any of you know what this is?" he received blank stares, except the suspicious looks of the two new students. "This is the one and only English-version of the Book of the Dead! Now I know that some of you must have heard about the Book of the Dead, am I not correct?" All he got was silence.
'What is he up to?' a figure thought to himself. He narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
"Well my students, the Book of the Dead is believed to be dated back in times of Ancient Egypt! Yes that's right class, Ancient Egypt! And you know that in Ancient Egypt, there's "ancient" Egyptians in their "ancient" homes and "ancient" palaces. Heh heh heh. There were even "ancient" animals." the teacher crowed.
'That man is an idiot! He should be in therapy, no no no. He should be in the mentally-unstable household.' The other figure thought. 'I wonder which dunce bag here even in their right minds hired an idiot like himself? Heck, he can't even answer a simple question like what's one plus one!'
The teacher coughed harshly from the dust once he opened the book. After two wasted and yet amusing minutes of the teacher coughing into his fist, and jumping up and down like a clown, he got over it and sneezed all over the book. "Well, I wasn't expecting a huge dust storm in this book, but the owners said that it was old. Ah-ah-ah-ah-coo!" the teacher sneezed again.
"Bless you!" Yugi and most of the students answered automatically.
"Say it, don't spray it!" Kaiser taunted.
"Careful! That book is priceless, so unless you want to cover it with your snot and ruin the book, I suggest a handkerchief or a tissue. In fact, here's a tissue. Take it." Yami smirked and held out a tissue to the direction of the teacher.
The teacher began to turn red and talked in gibberish. The only thing that the class managed to hear that wasn't nonsense was "Kaiser...Yami...go...to...the...b-bloody... principle's...office...a-and get out o-of my sight!"
"With pleasure, but we can't" Yami began.
"You see, it's against the school rules to send the new students to the principle's office for no reason." Kaiser chimed in.
The teacher frowned. "I never heard of such things. You're bluffing. And I have the reason; your fellow students are the witnesses. You two dared to insult a teacher in the middle of a lesson and now you lie. It's enough reasons for you to go."
"Ahh. But we were actually speaking out of our minds. We were just being truthful, so technically, that wasn't counted as insulting. Insulting people makes the targeted victim feel like scum off their boots and ashamed. We weren't making fun of you. Like we said, we were telling the truth so we weren't lying. Therefore, you can't send us to the office if we were innocent and not guilty." Yami concluded.
The students nodded and agreed with them. There were even students that pointed at the teacher, and laughed at him.
Yugi tilted his head to a side, which made him more adorable, in Yami's opinion. 'Why is sensei(1) acting so strange? He never talked to his students like that.' Of course, Yugi was oblivious to the fact that the two figures heard his thoughts.
'I knew it! No adult or human would ever talk like that if they were teaching students. No wonder I was getting a bad vibe from him. His aura is as black as coal, and represents deceive and evil. If I was to look at his soul, no doubt it would be a bottomless pit.' The figure muttered. The other one agreed and growled under his breath.
The teacher's left eye twitched. "Fine. You two just barely got away from suspension. We'll continue the lesson as if nothing happened." He said.
He flipped though the pages and stopped in right about the middle. "The Demons of the Night were once believed to be dated back to Ancient Egypt," he read. "In fact, they were created by one of the gods called Seth. According to the passage of this page, Osiris and his wife Isis called forth the other gods and goddesses to summon a meeting. They were debating on whether to create humans and animals or demons and other supernatural creatures. Everyone agreed with the idea of humans and animals except Osiris' brother: Seth. He thought that the ideas of them were weak, and the demons and the supernatural should be created instead. He said that the ones with more power should be allowed the privilege to be created by the gods. Osiris and the other gods and goddesses disagreed and-" teacher paused.
"Are you taking notes? You do know that you're going to have to take a test on this subject, don't you?"
The students blushed, and soon, the air was filled with the sounds of scribbling. He repeated what he said, and once the students were done, he continued on.
"Osiris and the other gods and goddesses disagreed and overruled his protest. While they were busy creating the new life of humans, Seth was creating the ultimate army of demons in secret. He was soon drunk on their power, so he made a grave mistake and the sun god Ra heard his plans of revenge. Ra reported the information to Anbuis, and he banished Seth to the Underworld for all eternity. Osiris decided to take pity on the demons and welcomed them with open arms. Now that was his undoing. He was found dead by Thor, and he inspected Osiris' dead body. He found bite and claw marks on him, and a devastating stab mark right on his heart. When Isis came to know of the information, she sent out a search party to find the accused missing demons and Seth. They captured them all and hanged Seth right away out of instinct. Isis couldn't stand another death, no less hundreds of demons so she instead banished them from Egypt for eternity. From then on, all the gods and goddesses could see her walking around the hall, in her palace with a dead look in her eyes. It was like she was an empty shell. She was found later in the middle of the desert, ripped apart. Flesh from blood from bones. The goddesses thought that the mourning Isis had snapped under pressure and ventured to the demons' domain, and asked the demons to kill her, so that she can be reacquainted with her love. The gods however, thought that the demons dragged her to the desert and murdered her out of revenge. The demons fled for safety after they were chased by the gods, and that was how they ended up here in Domino City." The teacher finished and slammed the book shut.
'Those little snippets of information are missing quite a lot of details.' One thought.
The bell rang, surprising the students who were so enthralled with the story, that they forgot they were in school.

Yugi was almost finished packing his backpack when, he bumped into someone.
"Yugi-kun! Gomen nasi(2). I didn't see you there. Need a hand with the fallen books?" Yami smiled softly.
"Yami-kun? Fallen books? Nani(3)" Yugi glanced down and blushed crimson red.
Yami chuckled. He bent down and picked up the scattered books, and handed the back to Yugi.
"Arigatou(4) Yami-kun" Yugi said softly.
Yami smiled at Yugi's cuteness. "It's just Yami to you."
"Eh?"
"I really like you to just call me Yami, and not Yami-kun. It's too um, formal. Besides, only my friends and the ones I love can just call me Yami." Yami winked.
"Ano(5), Yami?"
"Yes?"
"Where's your friend Kaiser-kun?"
Yami fell to the ground, anime style! He ignored the question. "W-what makes you think that we're friends?"
"I don't know? You two remind me of when Jou-kun and Honda-kun fight together, in a friendly sort of way." Yugi chirped. "Why are you on the ground Yami?"
Yami scrambled up and rubbed his head sheepishly. "Nothing to worry your pretty little head about." He hadn't noticed that he made Yugi blush by calling his head pretty. "Can you do me a favor?"
Yugi blinked. "Hai(6)!"
"Can you come over to my house tonight?"
He didn't know why but he found Yami sweet and trusting. It couldn't possibly hurt to go to his house. "Can I bring my friends?"
"Sure, and I'll bring my friends too." Yami gently took hold of Yugi's hand and kissed it. Yugi's face can now make a tomato jealous. Yami smirked and dropped Yugi's hand. "Ja ne(7) Yugi!" He waved before heading off to look for Kaiser before he could blow a fuse.
"J-ja ne Yami" Yugi whispered into the wind. He looked at Yami's retreating back before taking off. He couldn't place it but there was something strange about him. 'It's as if I'm falling in love with him, but that can't be it. I just met him. Whatever, I'm glad to feel this sensation in my heart. All warm and relaxing. It's as if I've died and gone to heaven. I better call Jou and Ryou, and maybe Honda if he behaves. I wonder if I can bring my other friend?'
