Chapter 12:
Bre was now standing in front of Atem, "so this is what Dark Angels looks like" she stated.
The teen smiled, "not all Dark Angels are the same, except for the wings however."
The girl smirked, "now I am curious what Nathaniel and the others look like" Bre shared. Atem smiled at her, "well in time I am sure you will see for yourself, but isn't seeing me in this form enough" he pouted. Bre laughed, "I wonder what your dad will say if he saw who his son truly is."
"Yea, well that is not going to happen, I don't think he will be as accepting of who his adopted son is," the teen told her coolly. Shrugging her shoulders, Bre couldn't help but feel sorry for the boy standing in front of her.
Well, if you ask me I am sure he will be very understandable, besides if he cares for you I am sure he will find in his heart of gold to accept it," she reassured him. Atem sighed, "just promise me you won't say anything to him or Megumi." He growled when he didn't get a response
"Promise…me….Brianna" he grounded out; the girl smiled and waved him off, "sure sure." Before he could retort, the two jumped when the front door opened and slammed shut.
"Hm, it seems that our parents are home, lets go see shall we" Bre asked while heading towards the door.
Shaking his head, the tri color teen turn back to his original form and followed the girl out of the room. As the two teens made it to the bottom of the stairs, Atem had gotten this feeling that something was off. As Bre was about to proceed into the family room, she stopped when a hand grabbed her arm.
She turns to look over at Atem with confusion, and then narrowed her eyes in annoyance. "Let me go, I want to say hi" she pleaded. Atem shot her a look, but didn't say anything as he passed by her. Rolling her eyes, Bre began to follow behind the teen.
"What is wrong" she whispered to him, Atem turn over his shoulder to look at her, "I don't think our parents are home" he whispered to her. If it is not our parents, then who… she cut off her thoughts as realization had dawn on her.
I hope that demon from earlier isn't back…crap, she thought frantically. Sensing her uneasiness, Atem grabbed the girl's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze, though his senses were now enhanced.
I am sure it is nothing, but still Atem thought. He then picked up a scent that didn't recognize. It sent him on high alert as he slowly approached the entrance of the family room.
When he was in the room, he tried to concentrate on the location of the scent that he picked up; it's defiantly a demon he thought with narrow eyes. He turn to look at Bre who was looking around nervously, as he turn his attention back to front, a shadow caught his eyes.
In a speed that surprised Bre, Atem went after the figure. Snapping out of a daze, Bre ran after Atem in hoping to see what was going on. She ran out of the house and headed into the backyard, looking around, the teen couldn't see Atem or the shadow figure anywhere.
She was however, unaware of a presence that was standing, not to far away, watching her with brown, narrow eyes.
Bre wrapped her arms around herself as she felt a shiver running through her body, either from the cold or something else. As she was about to head back into the house, the mortal stopped when an uneasy feeling had crept over her.
The girl began to panic when she saw movement from the corner of her eyes, "Atem" she whispered. A she squinted into the darkness; she saw a silhouette of a figure. Due, to him or her standing in the shadows, she couldn't get a better view. However, her breath hitched when the figure began walking towards her.
Instinctively, she took a step back as the figure was getting close. "Who are you" she asked in a frighten tone? The figure didn't say anything as they continued to approach her. Instinct kicking in she turns and run towards the door but stopped her path was blocked.
Now is time to start panicking she thought as she took a step back. However, due to the light from the lamp, she was able to make out the features of the stranger.
He was a few inches taller than herself, about the same height as Yami with wild and spiky white hair. Unlike Atem, he was pale and his eyes were narrowed just like Atem's; except of crimson, they were brown with a red tint.
She took in his attire the boy a year older than herself wore dark baggy jeans with a tight leather sleeveless shirt. His wings were black with white tips, there were bands on his wrists and biceps which were gold and contain a shape of a dragon.
He face was pale and unlike Atem the figure didn't have tattoos on his face but a scar on his right cheek. The white hair albino began to get annoyed at being study and growled.
Hearing the growl, Bre jumped and looked up into his annoyed brown eyes. She blushed, "sorry" she mumbled though she didn't allow herself to relax. Okay, he is obviously a Dark Angel like Atem, though is he a friend or foe?
"Who are you" she asked again this time more confidently, since she had this feeling that he won't harm her.
Besides, if he did want to hurt her, he would've done it already. "Hn, and what is it to you?" he shot back at her. Bre looked put off at his rude tone, "well due to the fact that I don't know you, it's hard to tell if you're a friend or foe to Atem…and myself" she put bluntly.
The stranger snorted at her retort, "you don't beat around the bush do you, mortal" the whitenette asked in an amused tone.
The two were silent, "so about my questions, stranger" she asked. Shaking his head, the teen smirked "I can see why he fancies you" he began. Bre was taken back at that comment, "what are you talking about" she asked innocently.
"It is amazing how oblivious mortals are, obviously your no exception" he stated as he turned and headed towards the house. The pink hair girl looked at his retreating figure, "HEY I DIDN'T INVITE YOU IN" she yelled as she stomped towards the teen that was leaning against the door frame with arms cross.
When she approached him, she narrowed her eyes, "answer my questions and maybe I will invite you in" she challenged. He chuckled, "fine…name is Bakura and let just say I am an acquaintance of Atem" he answered. The girl in front of him was studying him again to see if he was telling the truth. Not being able to detect anything Bre nodded her head and invited her guest in.
When the two entered the kitchen, Bakura was looking around and nodded his approval. "My mom likes to design things" Bre stated as she grabbed two glasses from the cabinets. Leaning against the counter, the guest was watching the girl, "you thirsty Bakura?" she asked.
The said teen nodded his head as Bre went to get the pitcher of lemonade out of the fridge. As she was pouring the content into the two glasses she decided to strike a conversation. "So why are you here…if you are looking for Atem, he is out chasing after an intruder" she retorted.
After handing the whitenette his glass, the two sat at the table, where Bre then noticed that her guest wasn't in his angel form, but in his human form wearing light warn out blue jeans and a blue and white stripe shirt.
The two were silence till Bakura decided to break it, "so due to the fact that Atem is living here with you, you obviously know who he is" he stated in a monotone voice. Bre nodded, "yeah, he showed me his true form tonight and when I saw yours, it still impressed me." "It makes me more eager to see Nathaniel's, Malik's, Kaley's, Vincent's and Caleb's true forms" she stated.
Her guest snorted, so they are here as well…. that means something must be up.
"Their forms are not as impressive, but that is my opinion" he told her. Bre shrugged her shoulders, "so when did you get here?" The teen raised an eyebrow at her, "what is with you and questions" he shot back at her.
Bre smiled, "I am curious, it is not everyday you get to meet angels of darkness" she stated. "Hn, well get use to it, they are everywhere it is the matter of figuring out who they are." The two were silent once again, I wonder when Atem is going to come back she thought sadly.
The two jumped when the front door opened, and two voices were heard. Sighing in relief, Bre made out the voices. One belonged to Damien and the other her mom.
She stood up as the two adults entered the kitchen. Megumi smiled at her daughter while Damien was setting the bags on the counter. However, the two adults didn't look past the boy who they never seen before.
Looking to her daughter, Bre took in the question in her mother's eyes.
The girl smiled, "mom, Damian, I want you to meet a friend of mine and Atem's, this is Bakura" she indicated with her hand. The said teen stood up and nodded to the two adults, Megumi gave him a warm smile while Damien welcomed him.
"It is nice to meet you Bakura" the male stated with a smile. The teen smirked, "the pleasure is all mine" he retorted, smoothly. "Well, anyway Bakura I was hoping we can help go over that thing you said you were going to help me with." The whitenette gave her a confuse look but caught on and nodded, bidding his farewell to the two adults, Bakura followed Brianna out of the kitchen and up the stairs.
