Mokuba ran upstairs with A.J in tow, but when they got to the 4th floor (remember A.J's room is on the 5th) he stopped and ran to his room.
"Mokuba, what are you doing?"
"Just grabbing something A.J. Be back in a minute!" A.J, though extremely confused, waited at the stairway for Mokuba. He soon came back with a container full of red liquid. Mokuba looked at A.J, who was still confused, and smiled.
"Blood bag." A.J figured out what he meant and smiled back. They continued there ascend up the stairs till they finally got to their destination, A.J's room. A.J took a deep breath and looked at Mokie, who smiled encouragingly. She smiled back, then opened the door. She looked inside for Yami, but was shocked when she didn't see in the bed where she left him, or anywhere for that matter.
"He's gone!" A.J walked through the door with Mokuba trailing behind. A.J was about to have a small panic attack when Mokuba said something.
"Hi, what's your name?" A.J turned to face Mokuba, thinking he had finally snapped. She looked and saw him lying on the floor next to the bed. Poor A.J, who couldn't seem to get a break, bent over and looked at what was so fascinating under the bed. To her surprise, it was Yami, shaking like it had just become -19 degrees.
"Yami, do you remember me?" Yami temporarily stopped shaking and nodded a quick yes before resuming a staring contest between himself and Mokuba, not that Mokuba knew it was on. After staying in that position for 2 minutes thinking, you could see a light bulb turn on over A.J's head.
"Mokie, why don't you go stand over there?" A.J pointed to the other side of the room and Mokuba got up and walked over, knowing A.J had some sort of twisted plan that would work. They always did, more or less.
"Yami, why don't you come out? No-one's gonna hurt you."
'Who was that?' A.J eyes widened. She was sure Yami had just spoken, but his lips didn't move. Mokuba, picking up on the situation, told A.J what had happened.
"A.J, he projected his thoughts into his head. Remember, I did it when I first met you." A.J mentally slapped herself. 'Of course! Vampires do that to drive their prey crazy before attacking, but I doubt Yami knew that.'
"That's Mokuba, he's a vampire slash werewolf slash demon slash a lot of things we don't know." Yami smiled at that finding it funny, the way A.J was aiming it to be." Do you want to come meet him?"
Yami's smile disappeared for a minute while he thought. Then, he slowly crawled out from under the bed, where he then sat next to A.J on the floor. A.J smiled and called Mokuba over. He walked up slowly and sat next to A.J on the opposite side to Yami. Mokuba smiled to Yami and Yami waved back. After that they just sat there, with an occasional nod. It took A.J a minute to realize, but she felt like an idiot when she did. 'Damn. Mental Communication. They could be saying anything and I can't hear THEM!' Yami laughed out loud, and A.J took the opportunity to join in the conversation.
"What's the joke?"
'Mokuba was just telling me about Joey and Tristan. Did Joey really flush his head down the toilet?' A.J laughed out loud with that. Good old Mokuba sure knew which stories to tell a person.
"Yes, it took a whole day going through the city sewers to find it and then it took another week to get the smell of poo from the house."
'WHY did he do it?'
"He wanted to prove to Tristan there were alligators in the sewer. Turns out, there's not!" By now Yami was laughing so hard tears were running freely from his eyes. Mokuba soon joined in the laughing fest and A.J just sat there, watching the two smaller made total idiots of themselves. 'Boys, this is why I need more female friends.' After two more minutes, the boys finally got sick of laughing and started another mental conversation. Slowly Mokuba being the genius he was, which sometimes A.J believed excelled even his brother, started to talk aloud and Yami very slowly joined in. By the next half-hour, the three where having a full-fledged aloud conversation. Sadly...all good things must come to an end. And with a loud knock on the bedroom door, Yami was back under the bed, shaking like world war III. A.J sighed, some things they would need to work on.
"Come in." On command, a blond and a brunette walked through the door. "Why, if it isn't King of the toilet and his trusty side-kick Dog boy!"
"Hi A.J! We came to meet the new kid. Tristan wouldn't shut up about it."
"No! That was you and anyways, doesn't look like he's in here."
Mokuba for one was furious that Joey and Tristan had scared poor Yami again. "Well, he was in here until you two came in here louder than Malik and Bakura on a sugar high, and scared him to undeath!"
"Sorry, so he is in here?"
A.J sighed, sometimes it seemed impossible to please a boy. "Yes, Mokuba please explain the situation to him."
Mokuba sighed, most of the time he seemed to be the only boy in the family with a head besides Yugi. "O'kay."
'Yami, you can come out if you want to. It's Joey and Tristan, they didn't mean to sound like a bomb going off but sometimes you think Joey lost his brain in the great sewer escape.'
'...O'kay.' Slowly, a small head came out from under the bed. At first both of the older boys were dumbfounded by the freaky similarity. I mean, a kid correction vampire randomly is brought to your house and looks just like your best friend, you'd be pretty shocked. But, this is Joey were talking about, can't scare him for very long.
"Hi! I'm Joey and this is Tristan. I'm a Ghost and he's a Were-Wolf. I'm awesome and he's not. What's your name?" Yami just looked at A.J, who could just see what he was about to say.
'Are these guys nuts?'
"Yep." With all that taken care of, it was time for introductions. Yami took a deep breath and spoke.
"Hi...I'm Yami. I'm a vampire."
"Really? AWESOME! Hear that Tristan. V-A-M-P-I-R-E. Haven't seen one of them in a while. I wonder if he has an ability? Do you have an ability?" Yami looked at A.J for advice.
'Ability?'
"Some Vampires have things they like to call abilities. Umm... one is mind reading, then there's shape-shifting. Well...there's a lot. You might have one, but we can't know for sure until you use it. Or you might not have one. All depends." Yami looked slightly more confused than before but answered.
"I'm not sure..."
"Hey, that's fine. It took me five years to learn how to take off my head and not wake up with a sore back the next day. We'll find out sooner or later. You part of the family?" With that, Yami was shocked. Was he part of the family?
"Joey! You won't supposed to ask yet! Well, since a ghost with a detachable head told you, we are a family of different creatures of all shapes and sizes. So far, you have met Joey the Ghost, Tristan the Were-Wolf and Mokuba the...Mokuba. Then there's Yugi, he's the person who found you, and he's a fallen angel but he doesn't like people talking about it, and me, and I'm a Shadow Angel and Queen of the shadow realm. I make sure no scary monsters escape. There are more of us but I will go into finer details later. You can stay here as long as you want. You can come and go as you please, or you can join the family and live here indefinitely. But I think you should meet the rest of the family before making any major decisions." Yami nodded.
"Well little Vampire, welcome to our house and I hope you enjoy your stay." Yami looked at Tristan and smiled, that was the smartest thing he had ever heard one of the pair say something demi-intelligent.
A.J finally got rid of the pair so she could talk to Yami and Mokuba in a serious matter. "Well, there's the King of the Toilet for you."
'He's funny.' A.J smiled, it was good to see Yami having a good time. Now, the big step forward.
"Is anyone hungry?"
CODH: DUH DUH DUH!
Yami Bakura: What?
CODH: Yami's gonna drink blood!
Yami Bakura: So?
CODH: So? Anything could happen! There could be mass blood war, or attack, or everything could go smoothly, or Yami could refuse to drink and starve to death!
Yami Bakura: Well, we would finally get rid of him
Ryou: (Walks out on crutches) that's not nice Bakura
Yami Bakura: RYOU! You're meant to be in bed
Ryou: Whatever (Reads Chapter) It's O'kay
CODH: It will have to do until I can be bothered to re write it. Now THANK YOU ALI AMI UMI FOR REVEIWING! If more people reviewed, there would be no writer's strike
Ryou: REVEIW!
