Kindred
Last time on Kindred:
It was dark inside. Lily was standing in the entry way looking terrified. That's when the duo heard the scream.
It was the hoarse scream of a male somewhere in the shadows of the living room. Lily simply stood in the entry way shaking uncontrollably.
A glass bottle crashed and broke against the far wall, sending glass shards in a million directions. The two saw a dark figure advance towards the frightened girl pressed against the door. He was quite a hansom man, being as the darkness of the house hid his flushed skin tone and the large bags under his eyes. His long hair was a midnight black that paled the night sky outside. Small strands of silver adorned his head, twinkling like twilight in the light of the full moon. His eyes, too, a midnight blue, and must have at one time sparkled with life. Now, though, they looked dull and empty.
"Yami, did you perform a mind crush on him at one time?" Yugi whispered. Yami shook his head sadly no.
"I told you to be home on time!!" He roared at Lily.
"I'm sorry, daddy. I was distracted. I didn't mean to.."
She was cut short as he struck her on the cheek. She cried out in pain and Yugi and his darker half's eyes welled with anger.
"I told you! Home on time!!!" He didn't really seem to be looking at her, but rather swayed from left to right, eyes glazed over in his drunken stupor. "I told you we have to make everything jus. just right for your mother's surprise birthday party!! She'll be home an.. any minute now." His speech was slurred and staggered.
"Oh, daddy, I know, I'm really sorry. I didn't."
She was cut short in her apology once more as she was struck on the other cheek. She cried out louder this time, clutching the spot of impact, a small trickle of blood seeping through her fingers. The ring on his fist was rather large, and took out a small chunk of her skin.
"Where the hell is Tranquility!?" Yami bellowed. "I don't care right now, though, I'm going in." Yugi followed him with fire in his eyes.
Lily gasped as her front door flew open and Yugi came in with his Yami in hot pursuit. Her father had already passed out in the middle of the hallway.
Yami's forehead began to glow with the sennen eye and he held out his hand, palm exposed to the unconscious man on the floor.
"Yu Gi Oh, no!!! Don't!!" Tranquility ran up and grabbed Yami's wrist. He looked at her bewildered."Why are you stopping me?" he growled.
She brought her eyes merely inches from his own. "Don't do it."
"You don't even care that this man has harmed your hikari??!!" he asked, enraged.
Her gaze became demonic. "You honestly think that I don't care?" She clenched her teeth in anger. "After all that I've been through and all that has happened and." Her body began to glow a faint silver. Yami winced as he realized that, using her shadow powers, she was sending massive amounts of heat to his clasped wrist, causing extreme pain. Then she abruptly let go, mumbling something about ' men.'
"She's right, Yami." Lily spoke up. Yugi was next to her on the floor holding her, trying to examine her wound. "Please, don't hurt him. He doesn't realize what he does."
"But why would he do this?" Yugi questioned. Tranquility sat down on the other side of Lily and wrapped her arms around her. "Where's your mom?"
Lily sucked in a ragged breath, eyes brimming with tears. "Mamma died two years ago. She was working late one night, and the whole family was planning a surprise party for her birthday, which is today. When she was three hours late getting home, we received a phone call from the local emergency room saying that she was pronounced dead the moment they arrived at the hospital. Car accident. She was hit by a semi. Daddy's been in denial ever since. He still hasn't come to grips that she's really gone. Talking to him doesn't do any good. Many have already tried." She shook her head, still clutching her wounded cheek. "He's never hit me before, though. Never."
Yami looked at Tranquility apologetically. "You know I'm just concerned about her."
"I know," she sighed.
"Well, this is no place to spend Christmas," Yugi spoke up. "Why don't you come back over to my place? I'm sure that I can get Grandpa to clean up your cheek, and we have hot chocolate, and movies, and pizza if you like."
Lily chuckled. "Yeah, that sounds great. I could really go for some hot chocolate right now."
-- -- -- --
"Tsk, tsk. That's a nasty gash you got there, Lily. It's gonna hurt for quite a while."
Lily looked down sheepishly. "Thank you for your help, Mr. Moto. The hot chocolate tastes good, too."
"Oh, please, it's Grandpa, just Grandpa."
She smiled and looked thoughtful. "I've never had any body I was ever able to call Grandpa before."
"No?" Yugi asked.
Golden hair shimmered as she shook her head no. "All of My Grandparents died before I was born."
"That's too bad. Grandparents are the best."
"Yeah," Tranquility spoke up. "If they haven't died yet they're gonna outlive everybody."
"Yami," Lily scolded.
"Hey, what's the point in being the darker side if I'm not able to act 'dark'?"
Lily simply rolled her eyes in exasperation, and Yami chuckled. "I would never be able to get away with that."
Tranquility winked. "It's all in the deliverance."
Lily muttered something about 'yamis', and disappeared into the kitchen.
Solomon Moto sat across from the dark haired woman and starred at her curiously. "So where exactly do you come from in Egyptian History?"
"Long lost wife of the King of Games, who else?" she asked casually.
"Oh, just curious. Try as I might I can never keep up with what's going on."
She laughed. "I can't either, though I try.
"Grandpa," Yugi called from the back room. "The whole gang says that they're coming over tomorrow to give us our gifts, and vice versa."
"All of them?" He asked nervously.
"What's wrong?" Tranquility asked.
"You don't know what happened the last time the whole gang showed up." Yami began.
"What happened?"
"Let's just say that Bakura and I don't get along very well. And Joey and Tristan are very susceptible to the effects of sugar and caffeine."
"Bakura." Tranquility looked up, deep in thought. "Why does that name sound so familiar."
"Tomb Robber," Yami filled in.
"Ah, yes, I remember. Ice blue eyes, sun bleached white hair. Wonder what happened to him."
"Trapped in the Millenium Ring."
She laughed. "How fitting."
Yugi and Lily joined everyone else in the living room.
"Alright everyone, bedtime. Lily, you can sleep in the guest room down the hall." Mr. Moto instructed. "Blankets and pillows are already in there. I'm afraid that unless your yami prefers sleeping on the floor, she'll have to go back into her item."
"Oh, that's alright, Grandpa. My yami doesn't like to maintain a solid form for very long, because it tires her greatly. She usually just retains a type of gaseous form and hovers over my bed, scarring the living daylights out of anyone that looks into my room."
The old man chuckled. "Sounds good, Lily. Sleep tight. Good night Yugi, Yami, sleep well."
"Goodnight grandpa. See you in the morning." Yugi retreated upstairs following his grandpa, and Lily followed suite.
Tranquility was just about to join her hikari when a hand grabbed hold of her wrist. She whirled around and glared at the pharaoh. "What do you want?" She asked, slightly annoyed.
His crimson eyes were glinting with a mischievous shimmer. Where had she seen that look before? Somewhere., oh no. Now it was all coming back. "Oh, no. Don't even get any ideas. Not tonight, Yu Gi Oh. Uh, uh." He slowly advanced on her as she backed against the couch, her legs giving way. She fell further into its cushy depths as he positioned himself on top of her, starring intently at his bewildered 'prey' "You can't honestly be serious. All of the people in the house? Are you insane?"
"Maybe." he smiled. "But it's been five thousand years."
'Figures,' she thought to herself. 'The only thing on his mind. Men. Who the hell created them, any ways? I'm gonna rip their head off and flush it down the nearest toilet, then I'm gonna barbecue.'
Her musings were cut short as his lush lips pushed hard into hers. Oh, she was gonna kill him in the morning. She was attempting to push him off, but he had taken hold of her other wrist, and pinned her down. He slipped down to her neck, slightly nibbling on her soft skin. "Bastard," she panted as her breaths became shorter. He merely chuckled and continued his invasion. Why the hell was she enjoying this? She was supposed to find him and seek her revenge!
Currently she was growling, but stopped at a moan as his fingers traced her every curve. "Just wait till the morning. now you'll. be in for it."
"Promises, promises," he muttered into her fast departing shirt.
-- -- --
Lily rolled over in her new bed. Where was yami? She could have sworn that she was right behind her. 'I'll try our mental link,' she thought to herself.
\Yami? Are you ok? Where are you? \
//.//
\ Yami.\
// .stupid little bastard. I'm gonna kill him.//
\ Yami?\
// .ah..ooh, gonna kill him.//
Lily felt a sudden surge of emotion flood her senses, and with a start realized what was going on. "Oh, I know." Poor yami, she sounded like she was going through real torture at the moment. Well, she'll see how the two faired out in the morning.
Silver Lily: Yeah!!! Another chappie done!!! Hurray!!!!!
Yugi: Yeah!!! Home run Yami!!! *whoops and hollers*
Yami Yugi: hush aibou.
Jade: Told you in the beginning you get laid, pharaoh.
Silver Lily: You know the drill people, R&R! Until next time: The gang comes over and finds a rather abused pharaoh. Just what exactly happened last night, and how will poor Tea deal with the details? Will Tranquility get along with Bakura? And what happens when the Kaiba Bros. drop by? Stay tuned till next time!!! Oh, and let me know if you'd enjoy a lemon. ^_^
Yugi: You got a new car for Christmas?
Yami Yugi: The shrinks finally declared you incurable?
Silver Lily: Yugi, no. Yami Yugi, *gasps* Who told you? - But no really. Guess what?
Jade: What, aibou.
