Chapter 21
"Mister Atemu! Mister Atemu!"
The insistent knocking at the door annoyed Yami so much that he thought of shooting a fireball. He was lying on the white leather couch with an apron tied around his waist, hair tousled, and a damp cloth on his aching forehead. He grumbled as he walked to the door. Yanking it open,
"What!?!"
Standing at the door was a small pale girl. She was panting, as if she'd run all the way from the school.
"Mister Yugi is hurt! The boy throwed him to the wall!"
She spoke quickly and with bad pronunciations. Yami blinked at her, his headache forgotten. Then he grinded his teeth, narrowed his eyes and spread his leathery wings. Chelsea gasped. It was the first time she'd ever seen a demons wings.
Yami sprang gracefully into the air and flew swiftly through the streets, dodging the buildings tall towers. He flew past the window of Jou and Seto's apartment and yelled to them.
"Yugi's hurt!"
He heard their door slam open and soon the blonde and brunette couple was flying alongside him. The school came into view, and Yami sped up. He'd been to Yugi's class before and knew where it was. He landed outside the window and stared.
The window was smashed, desks and chairs everywhere and scratches and chips on the walls. He heard Jou gasp.
"Yugi?"
Yami carefully walked through the classroom. He froze at the familiar smell of blood. Slowly, Yami walked around the upturned desk.
"Aibou!"
He sank to his knees holding the smaller in his arms. Yugi had blood all over one side of his face, all along his left leg and side. But his stomach was a different story. It had long marks, that looked like claws, that ran right through his middle. By the time Seto had found him, he was shaking.
"Yami? Is he alright?"
"No. The baby might also be gone."
Silently, Yami picked up Yugi and carefully flew out the classroom. He sped through the school, to the healing chambers. But before he could open the doors, Rebecca walked out and almost bumped into them.
"Hey! What the heaven--! Yugi?"
She gapped at the teacher. Yami pushed past her and lay Yugi on the nurses bed. Rebecca bustled him out the room sharply and closed the door.
The last thing Yami saw was a small group of healers around Yugi before the doors shut.
Yami stalked away from the healing chambers before he destroyed something. He rounded a corner and almost collided with Seto. He was holding Jou's hand.
"Is he alright?"
Jou asked breathlessly. Yami shrugged.
"I don't know. But whoever did this. . . . . . . . . . . . . WILL DIE A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH!!!!"
He roared. The demon shoved past the couple and stormed to the courtyard. Very soon he was in Yugi's classroom. He inspected every corner of the room and found something he'd never noticed before. A small note with blood speckled on it.
Yami
Saturn has gone wild! He's in league with the---
It ended. Yami read it twice more and smirked. So, Saturn's here. How convenient. The little bugger must've morphed into an angel. Well, if his sister wants to play like that. . . . . . . . . . . .I'll damn well play!
He straightened himself and stepped nimbly through the broken window. He was just about to take off when a hand stopped him.
"Where do you think you are going, cousin?"
Seto inquired. Yami spoke through telepathy
(You know the drill)
I'm going after the bastard that did this to my Hikari!
I'm going with you, then.
What? What about Jou?
He'll live.
Seto shrugged. Yami nodded and jumped up. His wings spread along with Seto's.
"So, who did it?"
Seto yelled over the whistling wind. Yami gave an answered yell.
"ANZU!"
"Anzu? But she disappeared years ago!"
"Yes, but there weren't any records of her death. That little brat of a brother is working for her, most probably!"
"That explains the sightings of Death and Vince!"
Yami stared straight ahead as they flew. The angel kingdom was already miles away. They continued soaring through the air. But as night overcame the light, Seto began suggesting a break.
"There's no way you'll be able to fight if you're exhausted."
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .fine."
They landed neatly at the entrance of a rocky cave at the edge of the sea. Grey waves crashed against the rocks sending spray flying. Yami sat down stubbornly in a corner and turned away as Seto used a fire strike to light a pile of dry sticks.
"Do you think he'll be OK?"
Seto looked up from the flickering flames and shook his head.
"I don't know, Yami."
Yami closed his eyes and tried to sleep. Seto was murmuring things about Jou and how he missed him as Yami dozed off.
8 Hours later
Sunlight streamed warmly through the caves mouth. Seto stirred and painfully sat up.
"Half a year on those soft angel beds doesn't do any good if you're camping."
Yami snorted in his sleep and turned onto his side. Seto shook his head and slowly stood up and walked out the cave.
"I already miss you, Jou. I promise you, as soon as I come back, we'll get married with or without a ceremony."
"I knew you'd go crazy someday. It starts with a dude being gay, then when they start talking to imaginary friends." Yami walked out the cave, smiling grimly. Seto smiled back and looked to the noisy ocean.
"We're close. I can't wait to do away with her."
Yami snarled. Seto nodded and the cousins moved swiftly around the rocks. Yami stood on a large boulder and looked around at the scenery.
The cave was right against the sea. Mountains with snowy caps were behind it and tall, dark trees made a huge forest around the cave and mountains. But there hidden between the trees, was a grey tower.
Yami nodded to Seto and the two took off towards it. As they neared the building, more of the tower showed. A castle! They stopped in front of the huge, dusty oak doors.
"You go in."
Yami nudged Seto. But the brunette shook his head.
"No way. It's your babe she hurt."
Yami growled, but pushed the doors open. They squeaked loudly in protest but opened stiffly. The two stepped inside.
The lobby of the castle was dark and gloomy. Black, cob webbed walls and cracked, dusty stone floors. Windows were smashed and bats hung at the ceiling.
Suddenly, high pitched giggles erupted. Followed by deeper chuckles.
"Now, looky here. We have the two demon wannabe's!"
A woman's voice cooed. Four shadows appeared against the wall. The door slammed shut with a bang.
Seto puffed his chest.
"Anzu! Show yourself!"
"No, no, no. So rude."
A figure stepped out the shadows, 4 others right after her. Anzu, Saturn, Damien, Death and Vince.
"You betrayed our dear sister."
Vince spoke low. Anzu smirked at her older brother and linked arms with him.
"You see, My Love. When you forgot about me. I asked my favourite brothers to help me get you back. I couldn't let that angel steal you away. So, I sent my Saturn and Damien to finish him off. And to . . . . . . .terminate the baby."
"What?!?"
Yami cried. Anzu deliberately sent her brothers to murder his family. He felt his teeth grow longer as well as his nails. Soon, he was in his demon state with Seto right behind him.
"You tried to murder my family. . . . . .I'LL KILL YOU!!!!"
Yami jumped across the lobby, and was tackled by Vince and Saturn. Seto flew to Anzu but was knocked backwards by Damien's blast of wind.
"Maybe we'll go for you fiancé next."
Seto snapped his fangs at Damien and caught the inexperienced boy on the shoulder. He fell to his knees clutching the wound. Anzu stared as Damien fell backwards. The venom from Seto's bite was slowly spreading.
Certain demons' venom had different effects. Seto watched Damien's skin pale and grow shallow around his face. The boys eyes grew dull as he looked at his skin. The flesh was decaying! He let out an unearthly screech and fell forward. His body crumbled away on the stone flooring. Anzu shrieked at Death.
"Get them!"
The eldest boy slowly shook his head. He was a tanned teenager, with shiny black hair that was tied into a pony. He wore black trousers, black dress shirt, black leather boots and black cape.
"No. I will not be as dishonourable as the rest of my siblings."
Anzu stared at him, angrily. Yami and Steo had stopped to watch him. Finally, Yami recognized him.
"Duke!"
Death jumped through the air and stood along side them in one leap.
"I'm. . . . . . . .sorry for your loss, Atemu."
Yami had no time to think as Anzu streaked towards him. Her hands ablaze with green. Saturn and Vince took on Seto and Death.
Death spun through the air and fired strikers at his sister. She blocked and fired her own.
"You'll regret that!"
Saturn did a side ways kick to Seto's stomach and watched the brunetter double over. Blood ran out his mouth and nose. But Seto caught Saturn's foot as it came again and swung him around. Saturn's head smashed through pillars of stone and wooden walls.
Damien was punching, aimlessly, at Yami. As Yami saw an opening, he caught his arm and twisted. From behind Damien, Yami force striked his back. Damien fell unconscious. Saturn let out a choked gasp when Seto pushed his fist right through his chest. Seto had blood all over his chest, hands and face. Death was the same, and so was Yami.
Anzu was standing weakly in a corner. Yami vanished and appeared in front of her. He caught her throat and squeezed.
"You harmed my Aibou, you're going to die just for ordering it."
Anzu smirked as she said her last words.
"Heh, you shouldn't have left the Angel Kingdom. You just lost the last few hours you could've spent with the angel."
Her eyes rolled back and her hands fell limp at her sides. Death and Seto pried his hands away from her throat. Death draped his arm around Yami and hauled him into the sky. He said something to Seto, but Yami wasn't listening.
