Me: So, uh I wanted to update today, and I'm in the process of going back through my stories so that I can kinda revise them, but my keyboard is deciding to be a dick head, and some of the letters I don't manage to hit, or I get typing too fast and hit the wrong the one, and it makes a whole different word... So, I apologize for any mistakes like that, they're somewhat not in my control X3 all that being said, I hope that I didn't make too many mistakes this chapter.
I hope you all enjoy. I do not own YGO, SnK/AoT or anything pertaining to them. Enjoy~!
POV: 3rd Person
Attack on Duel Monsters
Chapter 8
Lizard
It had been two weeks since Yami had had his adventure with Silver in the other city. Silver had been with Yami for three years, and knew almost everything about the boy. He understood why Yami didn't interact with anyone, but he never really understood why he didn't talk to anyone. There were plenty of children his age, and they seemed nice enough, he never heard any of them whispering any mean things about Yami.
'Yami, perché non parla con nessuno?' (Yami, why don't you talk to anyone?) Silver asked telepathically, watching as people walked past them.
'Non dovresti parlare con gli sconosciuti, Silver' (You're not supposed to talk to strangers, Silver) Yami sighed, his mouth remaining shut as his words were transmitted to the pup beside him.
Silver looked up at the boy, tilting his head to the right with a brow raised. 'Yami, non ti ha amici?' (Yami, do you not have any friends?)
Yami stopped in his tracks, his eyelids lowering as a sad look glimmered in them. 'Certo che faccio.' (Of course I do) He said quietly. 'Ho te' (I have you) he finished, smiling at the pup to his right before continuing forward.
Silver's brows raised in a mixture of shock and confusion. He stood there watching the boy walk away, tilting his head to the left before quickly walking to catch up to the boy.
"I don't understand though, if it is a Monster why hasn't it attacked Yami yet. Or any of us for that matter" Yamina asked.
"It attacked me!" Croquet complained.
"To protect Yami though. It seems to be wanting to protect Yami" Aknamkanon pointed out.
"Doesn't make any sense to me" Lyra sighed.
The adult group was currently sitting on the porch at the Sennen household. Lyra, Yamina, Croquet, Amun, and Aknamkanon were sitting in a circle of chairs watching as Yami walked away with Silver at his side.
"Maybe it's because Yami saved him" Aknamkanon mused aloud.
"Maybe" Yamina sighed.
"Still doesn't make any sense" Lyra sighed with a shrug of her shoulders.
Suddenly the five of them sat up straight, their eyes widening as a weird feeling rushed over them. "M'Lady" Isis greeted as she appeared, smiling at where the boy and his pup stood.
"Lady Isis" Yamina greeted.
"Good day, Lady Isis" Aknamkanon greeted.
"I couldn't help but over-hear your confusion and worries" she said, turning to them with the smile still on her face.
"Lady Isis, you said Yami was special when he was born. What did that even mean?" Yamina asked.
"Have you not figured that out already, Yamina?" Isis asked her with a kind smile.
"I-I... um.."
"Come down here. Tell me what you see" Isis told them, turning her attention back towards the boy and dog.
"I see my son and a dog that we believe to be a-"
"Stop."
"Hm?" Yamina hummed, looking at the village Healer.
"May I tell you what I see?" The woman asked, her attention remaining towards the boy.
"O-Of course" Yamina stuttered, a little taken aback at the tone in the woman's voice.
"I see a team. A team that's going to change this world."
Yamina turned back towards the boy, watching as he giggled, running playfully in a circle with the pup chasing after him. "So-" Yamina stopped her sentence when she turned her head back, realizing that Isis was gone.
"Ya know" Aknamkanon said, one hand on his chin, rubbing it thoughtfully "She may be right."
Yami laid on his back in the grass beside a large boulder. They had run quite a distance from the house, and were currently in the middle of a field. He closed his eyes while Silver curled up on his stomach, guarding him from any harm.
Silver saw something move on the boulder, his head tilting as he looked at the tiny red lizard. "Yami, che cos'è?" (Yami, what is that?) The pup whispered, his eyes never leaving the reptile.
"Hm?" Yami hummed, looking up at the boulder. "Si presenta come una lucertola" (It looks like a lizard) he said, his head tilting to look down at the pup once again.
The tiny pup hopped off Yami's stomach and walked over to the lizard, his nose constantly sniffing. The lizard looked up and bit down on the pup's nose when it got too close, causing the pup to yelp loudly. "Ohi! Ottenere questa cosa di dosso" (Ouch! Get this thing off me) Silver whimpered.
"Tenere ancora" (Hold still) Yami said softly. He put one hand on the pup to settle him down, the other going on the lizard's head. His thumb went on one side of the lizard's face, his pointer finger going on the other side. Yami's eyes widened a bit when the familiar feeling went through his body, the golden eye of Anubis appearing on his forehead once again. "Ciao?" (Hello?)
The lizard's narrow pupils moved to look at Yami, it's mouth still securely on Silver's nose. 'Puoi capirmi?' (You can understand me?)
'Posso. Puoi lasciare andare il naso di Silver adesso?' (I can. Can you let go of Silver's nose now?)
'Oh! Scusi.' (Oh! Sorry.) The lizard apologized, releasing the poor pup's nose.
"Si Silver bene?" (You okay Silver?)
"Già. Il mio naso è solo un po 'dolorante" (Yeah. My nose is just a little sore) he said, his voice sounding funny while he was holding his sore nose.
Yami chuckled at the sound of Silver's voice, but turned back towards the lizard. "Come ti chiami?" (What's your name?)
'Il mio nome è Slifer' (My name is Slifer) the lizard reported, wrapping himself around Yami's arm. 'Chi sei?' (Who are you?)
"Il mio nome è Yami" (My name is Yami) Yami replied, holding his hand out to Silver as he introduced the wolf. "Questo è Silver." (This is Silver.)
"Felice di conoscerti" (Nice to meet you) the pup greeted finally putting his paw back on the ground.
"Hai intenzione di restare?" (Are you gonna stick around?)
'Non come ho nessun posto dove andare.. Se va bene con voi' (Not like I have anywhere to go.. If it's alright with you) the lizard shrugged.
"Beh, benvenuto nella famiglia Slifer. Non si parla in giro nessun altro però" (Well welcome to the family Slifer. No talking around anyone else though) Yami welcomed the lizard.
'Inteso.' (Understood.)
Yami sat back down in the grass, enjoying his free time with Silver and their new friend, Slifer. The tiny lizard was red, his belly was black, he had sharp silver claws, and a pointy nose. He wasn't very big, his nose went to the tip of Yami's fingers while his tail stopped a little ways down the boy's forearm.
The three of them lay in the grass, talking amongst themselves and joking with each other. Silver began telling Slifer about Yami, and how he was nothing like anyone else. He told him how Yami saw them as friends, not as beasts or monsters as everyone else did. Slifer was hesitant to believe the wolf, but decided to stick around and see it with his own eyes.
Yami giggled happily, a yawn escaping his lips causing his giggles to cease. They'd been out for at least a couple hours, and the sun was beginning to go down. "Dovremmo tornare a casa. Dai." (We should get home. Come on.)
Slifer wrapped securely around the boy's arm, his head lay on top of Yami's arm, his body swirling around the boy's forearm. Yami began his walk home with the pup once again at his side.
He rubbed his eyes sleepily as he walked through the door to his house, Silver close behind, his eyelids drooping shut as well.
"You boys look tired" Yamina said softly, cupping Yami's cheek in one hand and rubbing Silver's head with the other. Silver placed his front paws on Yamina's bent leg, leaning into the touches. "You keep my Yami safe. Don't you?"
Yamina picked up Silver while Aknamkanon picked Yami up, carrying the boy to his room with his wife close behind. After laying him down they discovered the little red lizard wrapped around Yami's forearm. "Looks like he found a new friend" Aknamkanon said quietly.
Silver let out a whimper, jumping from Yamina's arms and landing on Yami's bed. He walked up and curled in a ball beside the boy, closing his eyes only after he looked around the room. The two of them slept peacefully side by side with their new friend curled up with them.
Yamina sighed "I'm still not too sure about this... I have a bad feeling."
"Relax dear. If they were going to hurt him they would've done it by now."
"I guess you're right" she said quietly, leading the way out of the room.
Me: So, Yami made a new friend. Next chapter kicks it all off, and it'll separate the boys from the men! I hope you all enjoyed! Until next time ladies and gents! * waves * Goodbye!
