Chapter 11. Angel's and Demons
Whoo hoo. I love this chapter... anyway, I'm kind of in trouble at the moment. I'm up to chapter 14 and I cant think of anything to write and this is up to chapter 11. Suger, suger, suger... so anyway, if I dont update for a while after chapter 13, then I'm sorry.
And now… the continuation!
Atem was the first to wake up, out of himself, Bakura, Joey, Mai, Tea, Tristan, Duke and Rebecca. When the rest woke up they noticed that they were all there. Well, all of them except Yugi. They also noticed that the room they were in was lit by candle light, which was a useful asset because now that they could see that the floors and walls they were resting and leaning on and against was made of stone, they could also see the environment they were in and everything and everyone surrounding them.
They were inside a large, stone room with no windows and one door. The opposite side of the room was completely black, but their side was lit up to around the middle by scattered candles. In the centre of the room was a grey, stone bed with markings on the side. It was too far away to make out what the markings were but Atem could tell that they weren't Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Since Atem woke up first he noticed first that he and the others had their hands tied behind their backs and around thin metal poles. He didn't bother getting up since he knew that he would probably just fall back down again due to the fact that he was kind of tied to the pole. He leant forward a little to see around Joey, who was tied to another pole next to him, and noticed that everyone was there except Yugi. He noticed this straight away and was immediately worried. He decided not to wake Joey but he did look around to see if Yugi was maybe tied somewhere else or was hiding behind someone. Slowly the others woke up and noticed what Atem noticed. Their surroundings, their situation and someone missing.
"Where are we?" asked Tea, who was tied up on Atem's other side.
"Do you think this is the room we ran into?" asked Duke who was between Tristan and Rebecca.
"Nah man. The room we ran into was all dark and cold." answered Joey.
"Have you noticed that the floor of the rooms we ran into was stone like and cold and that this room we're in has the same kind of floors and its cold and if it wasn't for the candles it would be dark?" asked Tristan sarcastically, who was tied next to Mai who was on Joey's other side.
"Oh shut up Tristan, your always bustin my bubble." said Joey.
"Wh-where's Yugi?" asked Bakura who was tied up on Tea's other side.
"Huh? Yugi? Hey yeah, he's gone. Where'd he go?" asked Duke, who was on Tristan's other side.
"Oh why does this always have to happen?" asked Tea.
"What do you mean Tea?" asked Bakura.
"Before Atem left everyone was in danger from all of these people that tried to take over the world, then Atem left and everything was finally coming back to normal. Last month Yugi almost died and now we're tied up somewhere and Yugi's no where to be found." explained Tea sadly.
"Its like he's cursed. Every time something like this happens, it always targets Yugi." said Rebecca, who was on Duke's other side.
None of them had anything to say anymore. It was true. Every time something like this happened, his friends were sometimes in danger, but in reality, who ever was behind all the scheming was just using Yugi's friends to get to him or Atem.
It wasn't even a minute before they felt a strong wave of tension. They looked up and noticed the flames on the candles suddenly dance like they had been disturbed.
"So your worried about little Yugi huh?" asked a cold female voice. The gang couldn't see her and couldn't see where it came from so they just sat in silence. Soon a male and a female form came walking out from the darkness, carrying a small human like figure. When they got closer, the gang was able to tell that the small human figure was Yugi. He looked fine, despite the fact that he was unconscious.
The female had blonde straight hair with a black fringe and black half curly lock of hair that was tucked around her ear, and had cold grey eyes. Her skin was pale and she was wearing long black pants, a white tank top and a long black coat. Around her eyes looked as though she had not slept in months but it looked like she tried to hide it because she was wearing black mascara and dark eye liner.
The male had short, messy black hair and dark brown eyes. His skin was also pale but it was slightly darker than the females. He wore raggedy jeans with a black belt. He also wore a white shirt and a black jacket with rolled up sleeves. Neither of them wore shoes. But their clothes didn't really matter much. Everyone's eyes was glued to their …large, bat-like wings. Both of them, had body-sized wings that were folded up like a bird do to their wings. Their wings were black, smooth and strong. They kind of had shine glares on them from the fire being emitted from the candles.
The male, taking note that their "guests" were taking in the fact that they had wings, spread them. They were the same shape of bats wings. (ok so if bats wings were enlarged, that's what they would look like but definitely not as long in length, just big in height. Kind of like Takinam's wings from the anime Chaotic if anyone has seen it.) They had red on the inside and they looked soft and silky, but the back of the wing was black and looked smooth.
The female let go of Yugi and the male took both his arms and flew over to the stone bed that was in the middle of the room. The female walked over to the gang and slowly walked past, stopping every now and then to take in some of them. She stopped and crouched down when she reached Mai and gently caressed her cheek, and then her hair.
"You take very good care of your skin and your hair young one. Your almost as beautiful to be an angle. But I'm afraid to say that you just don't quite cut it." said the female, not even caring that when she talked she showed fangs, slightly larger than the rest of her teeth. She started crouch walking to Joey, who was dangerously glairing at the female.
"Now now. Don't look so angry. I was going to hurt your girlfriend. I may be a demon and have the ability to kill her with just one finger, but I would never kill something as beautiful as her. The most I would do is see how delicious her blood is." said the female, again showing her fangs.
At that Mai slightly gasped and Joey furrowed his eyebrows. The female crouch walked to Atem and stopped. She spared no inch of his features as she acknowledged how much he looked like Yugi. She raised a hand to touch his face but he pulled away as much as he could to get away from her. She didn't care though. She simply caressed his smooth, tanned face with her unusually smooth but pale hand. Her nails were semi long but the ends were sharp yet rounded. She drew her hand back quickly, making sure to leave a thin cut on his cheek where his cheek bone would be. He hissed slightly in pain and flinched. It bled but not badly, just enough for a little to start to run down. The female raised her index finger which had scratched him to her mouth and sucked the blood off her nail before speaking.
"I'm sorry darling did I hurt you? You know you look a lot like little Yugi, except your eyes are different and Yugi isn't as blonde. That and you look older, darker and wiser. I didn't know Yugi had a brother…" she started but was interrupted by the male, who had finished with handcuffing Yugi to chains that was attached to the stone bed. He came over and observed Atem before interrupting his sister.
"Sister, don't be a fool. Little Yugi cant have an older brother." said the male. He too had fangs but his was slightly larger than his sisters.
"What do you mean? Who are you anyway? And what's happened to Yugi?" asked Atem.
"Just full of questions aren't you? Ok well you'll soon know full well what we mean. As for who we are, well you'll find out soon as well, and for little Yugi? Well he just hasn't woken up yet." said the female in an evil mocking tone.
"Sister, cool it. Go monitor little Yugi." ordered the male in a more serious voice.
"Oh you always have to ruin the fun don't you?" asked the female storming off towards Yugi.
"You know what he's capable of …"started the male angrily, referring to Yugi.
"He's not capable of it yet." barked the female still marching off towards Yugi.
"Females." muttered the male. "as per your question, my name is Nahthaies, my sister over there, her names is Kielnah. We're demons if you haven't already noticed and little Yugi over there isn't human either." said the male now known as Nahthaies in a plain, straight forward tone. Kielnah, who was already standing on the other side of the bed facing them all, cheekily waved at them at her name being mentioned.
"Wait a minute. When you say not human either, does that mean that Yugi's a demon like you?" asked Duke.
"Not quite but close. He's an angle." answered Nahthaies.
"An angle?" asked Joey.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean close if he's an angle and you're a demon. There quite a bit of difference don't you think?" asked Bakura in his usual British accent. (A/N: I think his accent is so cute!)
"Typical mortal. Always believing what everyone else believes." shot Kielnah from where Yugi was.
"What she means to say is, is that demons and angles aren't really that opposite to each other." said Nahthaies.
"How do you mean?" asked Tea cautiously.
"It is true that demons are creatures of darkness and angles are creatures of light, yet its because of that fact that you mortals see us demons as evil, backstabbing and cold-hearted and angles as sweet, innocent and loving. However, we demons have hearts too, its just we don't like to show that we care or love as expressively as you humans. And as for angles, well, they're not as innocent as you'd like to think. They don't walk into a room full of people that are hurting and by their presence make everything better. No angles are just like demons, just different." said Kielnah, slightly angrily.
"I'm still not gettin dis. You're sayin dat demons are good but are loners and angels are miserable?" asked Joey.
"No we're not saying that, we're just saying that you humans think too highly of angels and too poorly of demons." said Nahthaies.
"So, tell us what your going to do with Yugi." said Atem.
"Yeah. What's Yug got anything to do with dis?" asked Joey.
"Didn't you hear him? He's an angel. And we're demons." said Kielnah.
"Little Yugi isn't just an ordinary angel though. Hell, if he was we wouldn't be wasting our time here with you lot. No. There is one demon that surpasses all and one angel of equal ranking. Yugi is that angel." said Nahthaies.
"So what's that got to do with anything?" asked Tristan.
"Haven't you figured it out yet Tristan?" asked Bakura.
"No I haven't Bakura, maybe you'd like to share it with everyone else." said Tristan slightly sarcastically.
"They're here for Yugi. They want him gone so the demons can take out the angels." explained Bakura.
"Now, when you say gone do you mean?" asked Duke.
"Its like a game of duel monsters. Say one player has 1500 life points and one monster with 500 attack points and its in attack mode and da opponent had 2000 life points and has two monsters, one wid 600 attack points and da other wid 1400 attack points, and it's da opponents turn." started Joey.
"Ok." said Duke.
"Da opponent wid 2000 life points attacks his opponents monster with his 600 attack monster and his opponent loses 100 life points and then attacks his life points directly wid his oder monster, winning da duel." continued Joey.
"So another word. They're getting rid of Yugi at his most vulnerable point?" asked Tristan.
"Yeah. Good analogy Joey." answered Atem.
"Now that that's cleared up. Brother what do we do now?" asked Kielnah, lightly caressing Yugi's soft hands that were tied up above his head.
"Is he waking?" asked Nahthaies, turning and walking towards Yugi.
"No but he's twitching his fingers. Its rather annoying really. Can I kill him now?" answered Kielnah in a bored tone.
"Wait. But how can he be an angle when he doesn't have wings?" asked Tea, obviously wanting to stall them.
"You humans are awfully amusing creatures you know that? The story of why he doesn't have wings doesn't really have to be looked into, since little Yugi is going to die right here, right now and you all are going to be released, knowing that there was nothing you could of done." said Kielnah menacingly.
"Yugi!" whispered Atem.
"NO WAIT. YOU CAN'T. WHAT IF YOUR WRONG? WHAT IF YUGI'S NOT THE ANGEL YOUR TALKING ABOUT?" yelled Tea with tears forming in her eyes.
"TEA'S RIGHT. HOW DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE DAT YUG…?" asked Joey.
"Oh trust us we know. And just to make it clear, if it isn't then that's just one less soul in the world to worry about." said Kielnah as her brother brought out a sharp black dagger that was hidden beneath his jacket and in his belt. He brought it up and held it over the centre of Yugi's chest.
The gang held their breath. They didn't want to watch their best friend be killed in front of them but each of them found it hard to look away, since it would be the last time in seeing their friend alive. Each of them had tears in their eyes, Tea was already sobbing. She'd have her hands up to her face if she could.
Nahthaies heightened the dagger over his head and stabbed at Yugi's chest.
"YUGI!" screamed the whole gang.
To be continued…
Sorry I had to cut it short. It was just the perfect place for a cliffy. Anyway. What do you think is goin to happen? Don't think I'm going to accidentally tell you because its not gonna happen. You'll just have to keep reviewing and reading to find out. And hey, I mentioned Kielnah and Nahthaies…finally.
Later!
