Things That go Bump in the Night
Chapter 10
"It's really quiet so should we take dat as a good or bad thing?" Joey asked.
"I guess good considering I don't sense Asema's presence anymore." Kaiba answered.
"Hey you guys, check this out." Yugi said.
Joey and Kaiba turned to him, "What's up, Yug?" the blond asked.
The smaller teen held up the mirror, "Aaron's not in the mirror anymore."
Joey looked closer at the glass, "Yug's right, he's gone. If were lucky, he's gone for good and outta our hair."
"I hate to rain on your parade puppy, but…"
"Kaiba, don't tell me that he's still around?"
"Unfortunately, when Asema was destroyed, the fool returned to his body."
The blond groaned, "Oh great, I was hopin there would be two happy endings to this story."
Yugi stared at the warehouse opening with a worried look on his face, 'Something's wrong; Yami hasn't come out yet. I hope he's not…' The smaller teen dropped the mirror and ran into the old building.
The blond called after him, "Yug, what's wrong; wait up!" but Yugi kept going not looking back.
"Let's go after him, puppy." the brunet said as he and Joey followed him.
Yugi kept running towards that room, 'Yami, please be alright!' Once he entered the room, the amethyst eyed teen looked around the damaged room and saw Yami lying on his chest, "Yami!" he cried as he went over to him.
Joey and Kaiba arrived on the spot and saw the battle damage, "Man," Joey began, "Somethin' definitely went on in here."
Then he saw Kaiba hovering over a still body. The puppy went over to the sapphire eyed vampire and saw that the body was Aaron, "Not that I care, but how is Aaron doing, Kaiba?"
"He's fine; he's just unconscious."
"Great, just great." Then Joey noticed Kaiba's hand glow bright blue and then he placed it on Aaron's head, "Whatcha gonna do to him?"
"I'm erasing his memory of the past 24 hours."
Amber eyes widened, "You can do dat, sweet."
The sapphire eyed vampire smiled, "Just call it another special gift of mine."
"Um, just outta theory, you're not gonna to dat ta me and Yug are ya?"
"Of course not, you and Yugi are the only ones who we can really trust. I'm sure you wouldn't tell anyone what we are." Then the brunet smirked, "Would you be upset if I did erase your memory of us ever meeting?"
The blond blushed, "Uh well…uh…ya see…actually…"
The vampire shook his head but then the both of them heard, "Yami, wake up please!"
The two boys ran over to Yugi who was trying to wake Yami up but to no avail, "Yami, c'mon you have to wake up!" the smaller teen pleaded.
Joey squatted down next to him with a sad look on his face, "Uh Yug, I think he's…uh...well gone."
"No Joey, he can't be gone; he just can't!" Yugi cried with tears falling down his cheeks. Then he turned to the seemed to be dead vampire, "Please Yami, you can't die! I, I…" Then he dug his face in the vampire's chest, "I love you and I don't want to lose you!"
Joey tried to comfort his saddened friend as Kaiba stared sadly at his cousin's lifeless body, 'Cousin, is this what you wanted to happen? How could you be so…?' Then the brunet noticed the other vampire's body move and so did Joey.
As Yugi wept in his friend's chest, he felt a warm hand grace his cheek. Then a soft alto voice said, "It's alright little one, don't cry over me anymore."
Amethyst eyes widened at the voice. Yugi looked down to see rich crimson eyes looking back him and a smile gracing the vampire's lips, "Yami, are you really…okay?"
The vampire sat up in that very spot, "Yes, I'm fine; why wouldn't I be?"
"Cause you were lyin there dead as a doorknob?" the blond said.
"Oh yes, I heal easily after a tough fight; perhaps I forgot to mention that?"
"I have to admit Yami, you had me worried there for a second." Kaiba said.
"Now Seto, you've got to stop forgetting about my healing abilities."
"Cousin, it's been a 100 years yet it hasn't sunk in yet."
Yami shook his head then turned to Yugi who had his head down and shivering, "Um little one, are you alright?"
Then the smaller teen wrapped his arms around Yami crying tears of joy, "Yami, I was so worried about you! I'm so relieved you're alright!"
The crimson eyed vampire smiled as he wrapped his arms around the smaller, "I'm sorry I worried you little one but I'm just glad that you're alright." Then Yami wiped away Yugi's fallen tears, "No more tears alright, even if you're beautiful when you cry."
Yugi blushed at the compliment as the wiped his eyes, "How you can be so charming is beyond me."
"Okay you two, enough with all dis mushy stuff." Joey began, "Can we get outta of this creepy place now?"
"Alright puppy," Kaiba began as he carried Aaron over his shoulder.
Yami stood up and held out his hand to Yugi, "Let me help you up, Yugi."
Yugi grasped the taller's hand and loved how warm it felt. The smaller teen just gazed at the handsome creature in front of him. He had fallen in love with no human but with a strong and beautiful vampire who saved him from certain danger. Yami noticed Yugi's zoning out, "Yugi, your zoning out again."
"Huh…oh…um sorry, Yami!" Yugi answered blushing deep red.
"Okay, I'm going to drop off this human to his household now that I've erased his memory." Kaiba said.
"Alright Seto, we'll be here when you get back." Yami replied as his cousin teleported out of the building to his destination.
When the boys got outside, Joey stretched, "Ah if feels good to be outta dere!"
Yugi smiled, "I hear that." He turned to Yami, "I hate to ask this, but what will happen to Aaron now?"
"Well he should return to his old self soon except without knowing that Seto and I are vampires."
"But won't he still chase after Yug again?" the blond asked.
"Only time will tell, but as long as I'm here he won't come near him." Then Yami looked to the skies, "I wonder what's taking Seto so long; he should've been back by now."
Joey grinned, "Maybe he went for a bite." As the blond laughed at his joke, an arm wrapped around his shoulders, "That's real funny, puppy."
The blond jumped to see Kaiba smirking back at him, "Would ya stop scarin me half ta death, please?"
"My sincere apologies, dear puppy."
"How many times do I have ta say it, I'm not a puppy!"
The two look alikes laughed at the two boys. Then they heard the blond yell, "Oh man!"
"What is it, Joey?" the amethyst eyed teen asked.
"Guys, what time is it?"
"When I dropped off that human, I saw that it was 12:30am."
"12:30am! Oh damn it, my dad's gonna kill me for bein out dis late!"
"Not to worry puppy, I'll get you home; get on my back."
"Oh no, I've been on enough flight trips ta last a lifetime!"
Kaiba sighed, "Very well puppy, you leave me no choice." The brunet grabbed the blond by his waist and took off flapping his sterling silver wings.
"What the hell are ya doin; put me down!" Joey cried at the top of his lungs.
"Not until we get to you home, puppy."
"Hmph, you think ya so clever, don't ya?"
The brunet kissed the blond's forehead, "I'd say, I'm a lot more than that."
Joey blushed as he stared at the vampire's elegant face, 'Why does he always do those things ta me?'
"Because I simply adore you, my little puppy." the sapphire eyed vampire said in a loving tone.
Joey turned to the side blushing like crazy, 'He gets on my nerves so bad,' Then he smiled, 'yet I can't help but like him.'
Thirty minutes later, the tow boys arrived at Joey's apartment. Kaiba landed feet first to the ground and set the blond on his feet, "Well puppy, we're here."
"Yeah, just in time for my dad to murder me."
Then they heard the door open and saw Mr. Wheeler come out with a worried look on his face. Joey called out to him, "Hey pop!"
The blond man turned to the sound of the voice and was relieved to see it was his son. He ran up to his son, "Joseph, thank God; where the hell have you been? Do you know what time it is; I've been worried sick!"
The blond quivered, "Uh dad, I can explain! See what had happened was…!"
"Joseph Wheeler you are so grounded! You know your curfew is 11:00 on school nights!"
"Now pop, there's no need ta be rash."
"Oh really, give me one good reason why I shouldn't ground you for eternity for worrying me half to death?"
"Well dad, ya see…"
"Actually it was my fault, Mr. Wheeler," Kaiba interrupted (back in his human form), "Joey was with me studying and we lost track of time."
Mr. Wheeler turned to the brunet and smiled, "Oh I remember you, you're Joseph's boyfriend right?"
"Well kind of; anyway it's nice to see you again sir."
"Hold it pop, he ain't my boyfriend!" Then the teen whispered to the other, "When did you change back?"
"About two minutes ago, puppy."
Joey grunted as his dad asked, "Joseph, were you two really up this late studying?"
"Uh yeah, what he said!" Joey frantically said.
"Well if that's the case I guess I can let it slide this time. But next time call me alright, Joseph?"
"Yeah dad, I got it!" Joey replied.
"Good, now I'm going to bed; worrying about you made me tired. I'll see you in the morning, Joseph."
"Night pop!" the blond called to his dad as he went back into the house.
"Man that was close; thanks Kaiba. If it wasn't for you, I would be grounded forever right now."
The sapphire eyed teen (vampire) smiled, "Anytime, puppy."
"So I guess I'll see ya tomorrow then." Joey was about to leave till a hand grabbed his wrist and pulled him back towards the other. Wrapping his arm around the blond, Kaiba pulled the teen closer to him. "Um, what are ya doing?"
"I just fell like it's time that we say out good-byes in a different manner."
"And what does dat mean exactly?" the amber eyed teen nervously asked.
The brunet in to the blond's face, "I think you know."
"N-n-n-n-no I don't!"
"Maybe this will answer your question." Kaiba captured the blond's lips with his own.
Amber eyes widened at what was happening, 'Oh my God, he's kissin me; why is he kissin me?'
The brunet pulled away from his puppy's succulent lips, "Because I want to; I've been waiting to do that ever since I laid my eyes on your beautiful face."
Joey stared into those sapphire orbs with a slight blush running across his face, "Kaiba, I…I…"
The brunet placed a finger against his puppy's lips, "Hush…we'll talk about it tomorrow, puppy." Kaiba chastely kissed Joey's lips, "I'll see you tomorrow; have a nice sleep."
As soon as Joey blinked, the vampire teen was gone. The blond looked left and right but he was gone, "I have feelin I'm not gonna sleep well tonight and I don't think it's because of what I've been through." Joey walked into his apartment unaware of a bat winged figure on his roof top watching over him.
Yami and Yugi arrived at the Game Shop. Yami turned to the smaller teen, "Hang on tight, little one."
Yugi nodded, "I'm holding."
The crimson eyed vampire fazed through the wall into Yugi's room. Once in, Yugi got off of Yami's back, "It feels good to be home." the smaller teen said with a small yawn.
Yami chuckled warmly, "Sounds like someone is sleepy."
"Yeah, I better get to bed but first," The smaller teen grabbed a set of pajamas and began to take off his clothes forgetting he had a guest.
Yami marveled at how beautiful Yugi's body looked. His small petite form looked so angelic in the moonlight. The vampire turned to the side blushing. Yugi had on his pajama pants when he saw Yami blushing, "What's the matter?"
The crimson eyed vampire looked at the other still blushing, "Oh it's nothing, little one."
"Oh, okay then."As soon as he got on his top, Yugi got into bed as Yami pulled the covers over him. The smaller teen gazed at the man before him, "Yami, thank you so much for what you did for me today; it means a lot."
"Your very welcome, Yugi; I'd do anything for you."
Yugi blushed but then he saw Yami's facial expression change, "Yugi, I must ask you something. Now that you know what I am, do you think of me as a…monster?"
"Of course not Yami, I would never think that about you."
Crimson eyes widened at the young teen's answer, "To me someone is considered a monster by not what they are but how they act." Yugi grasped Yami's hands and held them in his, "But you're wonderful, nice, you always do great things for me, and you saved me from peril danger. That's what I like about you."
Yami was deeply touched at what Yugi said, "You really are the most purest being I've ever met."
The smaller smiled warmly at the comment, "Yami, I there's something I would like to…"
Yami leaned in closer to the young teen's lips, "Not one more word little one; I think I know what you want." The crimson eyed vampire laid his tanned lips upon the smaller teen's soft lips.
Yugi was stunned at first but then answered to it. His big eyes slowly closed as he clutched the other's shirt. Yami loved kissing his little one. His lips were as soft and warm as flower petals. It was the same softness and warmth he felt that other night he kissed him. He placed his tanned hand on the smaller's delicate cheek.
After kissing for what seemed like eternity, Yami pulled away from the younger's beautiful lips and smiled lovingly at the angel before him. Yugi was hazy eyed with a slight blush running across his face, "Yami that was wonderful; thank you." Yugi said.
"Yes I enjoyed it as well; now Yugi you must sleep." the crimson eyed vampire replied as he tucked the smaller in and lightly kissed his forehead.
As the vampire was about to depart he heard, "Yami, I will see you tomorrow, right?"
Yami turned to the younger with a smile, "Of course now sweet dreams, my little one."
Yugi smiled as he yawned, "Good night Yami." Then the smaller teen was sound asleep as the vampire sat by the windowsill watching the teen sleep peacefully through the night.
