Silver Lily: Yeah!! I got another review!!! *glomps reviewer*
Jade: I'm happy for you aibou.
Yugi: Sooo, what happened last night!! Tell me!
Yami Yugi: This is going to be painful, isn't it?
Silver Lily: Oh, how'd you guess?? Oh well. -- No, I do NOT own Yu GI Oh, I just like fluffing up the characters. Oh, and there will be a lemon, just not in this chapter, but it's coming!!!!! I promise!!!
Yami Yugi: Oh, noooo. *groans* (looks up) Why me?
Silver Lily: On with the fic!!!!
Kindred
"Yami, are you all right?" No response. "Yami, wake up!!!"
"Uunnn.." The dark-haired woman lay sprawled on the living room floor, seemingly half dead. Yugi's darker half lay next to her, arm lazily draped across her waist. Her cheek was squooshed (A/N: this is a great word, isn't it? ^__^) against the carpet, oblivious to the red marks that were now indented into her once flawless skin.
It was really quite an amusing site. The two dark spirits had at some point in the evening hastily tried to get dressed after their 'activities', not really paying much attention to what it was that they were doing. Tranquility's leather pants were only half zipped, and she had put her satin blouse back on inside out. None of the buckles on the pharaoh's shirt were buckled, and he had a leather coat clinging to his once spiky hair. Lily sat kneeling down to her yami, half smiling and half worried.
"Yami, you have to get up now, there will be a whole bunch of people here soon."
Tranquility groaned in reply, but groggily opened her vivid blue eyes, very slowly.
"Yami, what happened to you?" Yugi had waltzed into the living room too, and suddenly noticed the almost critical state that his yami was in.
The said spirit sat up, a somewhat content and dazed look on his face. Or was that, smug? He looked at his hikari. "Hallo, aibou.."
"Yami, you look awful!!" Yugi starred bewildered at the big purple area around Yami's left eye.
He touched the sensitive area and looked at Yugi innocently. "Really?"
"Just where did that black eye come from?"
Yami thought back remembering the night before...
~
His sweaty hands held tight to her hips. She had long ago given up on trying to suppress her cries by biting her lip, as it quickly became quite bloody. Her mouth was currently opened in a silent scream, and he was soon joining her. Their bodies were drenched in perspiration, steam so thick it could be cut with a knife.
Her nails dug into his back, almost unable to withstand any more of this torment. Finally, a lightning bolt of pleasure ripped through his insides, every muscle and sinew in flames. His very bones ached from exhaustion.
Suddenly, and without warning, a fist made contact with his left eye, and he collapsed next to her, a headache now threatening to take hold. He brought his hand up to his eye. "Owe." He panted. "What was that for?"
"You deserved it." she panted back..
~
"Ummm.." How was he to reply to that?
"And, why are there red marks all over your neck?"...
~
"Oh, now did I ?" He came over and started kissing her neck.
"Yes, you did." Tranquility lifted up his chin and gently kissed his lips. Then he was hit with another surprise when he felt a sharp pain in his bottom lip, and a warm liquid oozed down his chin. "You bit me!!"
She snorted. "Bastard." So, she was still mad at him.
"We'll just see about that!" He rolled on top of her and started biting her neck. After her initial cry of shock, she did the same, leaving rather unforgiving markings all over his neck. Well, he wasn't going to win at this. So he started tickling her mercilessly.
"You .. Jackass." she panted through fits of laughter....
~
"And, are those burn marks on your arms?" Yami looked down at his injured wrists...
~
Her hands dug in hard to his immobile arms. She was sending more waves of heat to his body, causing pain again. It also didn't help having her knee dig into his back. Tranquility leaned down and bit his ear. "I win," she whispered. He sighed submissively. "Now say it," she demanded.
He grunted. "Uncle." Damn, he lost at the mach-wrestling match, too. She let go and plopped next to him, energy now completely spent....
~
"Hmm... battle scars, aibou." He grinned.
Tranquility quirked an eyebrow. "Oh, really? And who won?"
He averted his gaze, smirk wiped clean off his face.
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
Lily looked at Yami sympathetically. "I could have warned you, ya know.." Yami shrugged. "It was worth it."
Yugi almost laughed at the fact that both had a scabbed bottom lip, only too obvious even for him what had occurred.
"Damn." Yugi and Lily whirled around and the sound of Mr. Moto, cursing? "Just what lion did you wrestle with last night, Yami?"
Yami looked around for help from Tranquility, but at some point in time she disappeared into the kitchen. She came back in just as quickly, though, and received another incredulous stare from Grandpa. "And, you... you look like, like," Solomon stopped as he finally reached epiphany. "Oh, I see..." He grumbled his disapproval before reprimanding them both.
"No more of that, you hear!!!!" He looked around at Lily and Yugi. "We do have juveniles in this house!!!"
Tranquility pointed an accusing finger at Yami. "Blame him, Grandpa. It was all his idea."
"It takes two to tango," he barked back, and suddenly choked on what he just said, the rest of them trying to stifle a laugh. "Er, I'm going down to the shop area, I have some last minute deliveries to put away before I close up for Christmas Day." Mr. Moto stalked off from the living quarters of their tiny abode, finally allowing the blushing teenagers to release their suppressed laughter.
It only lasted for three minutes or so, finally allowing Lily to tell Tranquility to go and take a shower. Yami would get in after her.
~ ~ ~ ~
"Ding Dong!!!" The persistent sound of the doorbell diffused to every corridor of the house.
"Ding Dong!!!!!!"
Tranquility sat seemingly unaware of the noise, filing her nails. "Yami, will you get that??" Lily bellowed from the bedroom.
"Ding Dong!!!!"
Yami looked at the occupied spirit on the sofa. "File those any sharper and I'll be forced to bite them off."
She quirked an eyebrow and grinned. "Promise?"
"Ding Dong!!!!"
"Yami!!!!" The golden girl sounded quite annoyed by now.
"Aren't you going to get the door?" Yami asked. Tranquility snorted. "I didn't invite them over.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong..."
"Alright!!" Yami cried over the continuing chiming. He grunted and lazily stood, went over to the door, and opened it.
"Well, it's about time!!! We've been out here waiting for like, ever now!!!" A blonde teenager started scolding Yami for his lack of manners concerning guests. Yami shrugged and walked back to the couch.
// Aibou, your guests are here.//
\ Alright, Yami, I'll be right there. \
Small footsteps padded down the hallway and bounded down the stairs, two at a time.
"Joey, Tristan, Tea, Ryou, you guys made it!" Yugi cried cheerfully.
"Hey, Pizza's gett'n cold," the brunette named Tristan declared, holding three white cardboard boxes over his head.
"Merry Christmas, everyone!!" Tea's blue eyes glimmered with excitement.
"Three pizzas, Tristan, are you sure that's not too much?" Yugi asked.
"Hey, when you've got the mutt and myself eating, there's never enough!!" Tristan wrapped his arm around Joey's neck in a friendly manner, but Joey growled in response. "I am not a dog!!!!"
Tranquility laughed. "He even growls like one!"
All eyes in the room now turned to face the dark woman sitting on the sofa, silence now in place of the once boisterous people. "Yugi, who's she?" Tea asked.
But before Yugi could answer, everyone heard a frustrated cry from the back bedroom. Following was a small girl with golden hair, brandishing in her left hand a mass of fluff and wires. "Yami, what did you do to this Furby?"
Tranquility looked at her hikari innocently. "He kept clucking at me, aibou. It was rather annoying."
Lily growled, knowing that her yami was slightly destructive at times. Especially when she hadn't received much sleep the night before. "Yami, you can't just go around breaking things that don't belong to us."
The said woman looked over at Yugi. "Did you like that thing?"
He looked thoughtful. "No, not really."
"There you have it aibou. That thing was a nuisance and I took care of it." Lily grumbled something inaudible and walked off, still needing to finish up in the bathroom.
Everyone was silent for a minute, still starring a little befuddled at the site in front of them. "Lily has a . a yami, too?' Tea choked out.
"Everyone, please meet Tranquility, the yami of Lily." Yugi introduced. "Uh, cool." Joey said.
Tranquility kept filing her nails, not paying any attention to the blank stares she was receiving.
"Hey, come one, let's eat everyone. I'm hungry!!" Ryou stated in an attempt to break the silence. In response, everyone snapped out of their trance and headed into the kitchen to eat.
The two spirits stayed in the living room, not being the kind to eat much of anything. Spirits don't get hungry, after all.
"Yugi, where's Yami?" The pharaoh could hear the brunette girl questioning his hikari. "Oh, he's in the living room, Tea."
"Really, I didn't see him in there." That wasn't by fluke, though. Yami had decided to lay flat on the couch, which had it's back facing the front door, attempting to avoid what was coming.
"Oh, Yami, there you are! I didn't see you!" he heard from behind. The teenage girl practically squealed as she bounded up next to him. Her ranting was cut short though when she saw the battered state that he was in.
"Yami, what happened to you? Are you all right? Were you and Yugi followed by bullies again?" She sat herself down next to him, pawning all over him as a worried mother might do. Yami's face was distorted in what looked like a mixture of pain and disgust. Saying anything would only get his hikari upset, though, so he would just have to bare with it.
Tranquility scowled. As much as she was pissed at him, she was _not_ going to put up with this. He was a bastard, but he was her bastard. Hands off.
She got up and pushed her face inches away from Tea's, positioning herself on top of Yami, blocking him from the other's reach.
"If you'd really like to know," she hissed with a grin, "he had sex last night and was punched in the eye during climax. Afterwards he and his partner got in a bout of biting and tickling each other, ending in a wrestling match." She paused, grin broadening. "I won."
The blood visibly drained from Tea's face as she digested this bluntness. "...Oh... I ...I see." She stuttered. Mechanically, she stood and walked back into the kitchen.
As soon as she was out of earshot, Yami burst out with laughter. "Did you see the look on her face?" His whole body shook with hearty convulsions. His eyes brimmed with tears. "I wish I had a camera! I'd frame the picture!!!"
Tranquility put on a satisfied smirk and returned to her seat.
"Yami!!!" Lily burst through the door of the kitchen. She looked at her darker side accusingly.
'What's wrong, aibou?"
"Tea seems really upset about something. Tell me, what is it?"
The addressed shrugged. "She wanted to know what happened to Yu Gi Oh last night, so I told her." Lily was rubbing her temples. What was she going to do with her? Normally, her yami was not this bad with social interaction, but ever since she had met the pharaoh she seemed to be getting, well, more sinister.
"Yami, please try to be nicer, okay?" She pleaded. "For me?"
Tranquility looked down submissively. "Yes, hikari." Lily sighed and walked back into the kitchen.
It wasn't long before everyone was done eating the pizza, and retreated to the living room to deliver their gifts. They conversed lightly with nothing much but small talk, until..
"So, Tranquility, you're from Egypt too, I take it?" Ryou asked. She felt like asking him ; 'What's it to you,' until she felt the hard stare of her hikari upon her. "Yes," she stated flatly.
// Aibou, he looks familiar. //
\ I go to school with him, yami.\ Lily replied back.
// No, not from school. From somewhere else.//
Her eyes snapped up in realization. "Hello, Bakura."
A gold ring appeared from nothingness around Ryou's neck. In a gold flash, the mirror image of himself was standing next to him, a demonic smirk on his face. The spikier white head looked up, blue eyes starring intently at the dark woman. "Hello, wife of the pharaoh."
Another shock from everyone at her status, but she merely grinned. "Long time, no see."
"You know each other," Yami asked.
"Quite well," Bakura said.
" Once upon a time, 5 thousand and some years ago, a tomb robber was brought up to me for persecution. I asked if he had stolen anything, and his captors said that they had caught him before anything could be stolen. So I let him go."
"You let him go?" Yami bellowed. "How _could_ you?"
She glared at him. "Because it was your tomb that he robbed."
Yami grumbles something, but otherwise remained silent. "As it so turns out, he did manage to confiscate something, though."
"What's that?" Yugi asked.
"His millenium ring."
Lily looked thoughtful. "How did you get captured in it, Bakura?"
The said spirit eyed the little teenage girl. If it were the pharaoh that had asked, or his hikari, he might have told them to go screw themselves. But it wasn't. It was the hikari of Tranquility, and for some reason he _liked_ her, as far as his liking of people went. "Do you know what happened after you left your throne, Tranquility?"
She shook her head no. "Well, the entire nation was devastated."
"They were?" She asked in disbelief.
"You were the kindest and most gracious ruler the Egyptians had ever seen, and they wanted revenge, and their queen back."
"Sentimental story, but it doesn't have anything to do with you getting captured." Yami spoke up.
"Shut up, pharaoh, you're just jealous." Yami seethed, ready to kill, had it not been for Yugi silently pleading him not to. "Any ways, one of your accomplices, Tranquility, hired me to assassinate the high preist after he took control."
"And.."
"And he locked my soul up in the millenium ring."
"Damn," she concluded. "Too, bad."
The solemn mood was abruptly changed to one of curiosity at the sound of the doorbell ringing. "Now who could that be," Yugi wondered out loud. He got up and opened the door, allowing a nauseatingly perky young boy to roll in. "Hey Yugi, Merry Christmas!!"
"Mokuba. What are you dong here?"
"Me and my big brother are delivering presents to everyone today!!!"
Joey snorted. "Kaiba? Ha! You couldn't wrench his wallet open with a crowbar!"
"Shut up, mutt. None of these are for you." Said Kaiba sneered back.
"Yami, no, don't!!!!" Yugi and everyone else turned to see Lily and Yami desperately trying to hold back and thrashing Tranquility. "Let me go, aibou. I'm going to kill him! He's the one! He killed me and my child!"
Their attempts were futile, as she quickly maneuvered out of their grasp and was immediately at Seto Kaiba's throat.
Lily was for the first time fearful as her yami started to glow a brilliant silver. She was ready to perform her shadow powers on the hapless body that was rapidly loosing oxygen.
Calmly, Yami stood in front of her, and knelt down to her level. "That's not him, Tranquility." She didn't seem to hear him.
He reached down and lifted up her chin, grabbing her eyes. "It's not Seth."
Her vivid blue eyes had turned to a silvery flame, crazed and unable to reason. Upon hearing this, they retreated back to their original state, looking slightly confused. "It's not?"
Yami shook his head. "It's only his reincarnation. That's not him." Tranquility now heard muffled sobs in the background. His younger brother was crying. No, wait. It was more than that. Her ears perked at the sound of Lily, choking down sobs in the background, too.
"Aibou.." She released her death grip on Kaiba's throat and went to her hurting light. Kaiba coughed and wheezed, unable to draw in enough air to make up for his current lack thereof.
"Aibou, what's wrong?"
"Yami, you're scarring me." She cried. Tranquility held her close. "I'm sorry, aibou. I won't do it again, I promise."
"What, what the hell just happened? What does she have against me?" Kaiba exclaimed.
"Your past self poisoned her, killing her unborn child." Yami filled in. Kaiba looked over at the dark woman that just nearly killed him. She starred at him sadistically, thinking of many different ways that she would enjoy torturing him. 'Watch your back', her voice screeched inside of his head.
Kaiba dropped the bag of presents on the floor. "Merry Christmas," he said, and walked off with Mokuba trailing behind.
Silver Lily: Must... stop... so.. tired...

Yami Yugi: No kidding.

"Yami, are you all right?" No response. "Yami, wake up!!!"
"Uunnn.." The dark-haired woman lay sprawled on the living room floor, seemingly half dead. Yugi's darker half lay next to her, arm lazily draped across her waist.

"Hey, Pizza's gett'n cold," the brunette named Tristan declared, holding three white cardboard boxes over his head.
"Merry Christmas, everyone!!" Tea's blue eyes glimmered with excitement.
"Three pizzas, Tristan, are you sure that's not too much?" Yugi asked.
"Hey, when you've got the mutt and myself eating, there's never enough!!" Tristan wrapped his arm around Joey's neck in a friendly manner, but Joey growled in response. "I am not a dog!!!!"

// Aibou, he looks familiar. //

A gold ring appeared from nothingness around Ryou's neck. In a gold flash, the mirror image of himself was standing next to him, a demonic smirk on his face. The spikier white head looked up, blue eyes starring intently at the dark woman. "Hello, wife of the pharaoh."
Another shock from everyone at her status, but she merely grinned. "Long time, no see."
"You know each other," Yami asked.
"Quite well," Bakura said.

It was the hikari of Tranquility, and for some reason he _liked_ her, as far as his liking of people went. "Do you know what happened after you left your throne, Tranquility?"
She shook her head no. "Well, the entire nation was devastated."
"They were?" She asked in disbelief.
"You were the kindest and most gracious ruler the Egyptians had ever seen, and they wanted revenge, and their queen back."
"Sentimental story, but it doesn't have anything to do with you getting captured." Yami spoke up.
"Shut up, pharaoh, you're just jealous." Yami seethed, ready to kill, had it not been for Yugi silently pleading him not to. "Any ways, one of your accomplices, Tranquility, hired me to assassinate the high preist after he took control."
"And.."
"And he locked my soul up in the millenium ring."
"Damn," she concluded. "Too, bad."
The solemn mood was abruptly changed to one of curiosity at the sound of the doorbell ringing. "Now who could that be," Yugi wondered out loud. He got up and opened the door, allowing a nauseatingly perky young boy to roll in. "Hey Yugi, Merry Christmas!!"
"Mokuba. What are you dong here?"
"Me and my big brother are delivering presents to everyone today!!!"
Joey snorted. "Kaiba? Ha! You couldn't wrench his wallet open with a crowbar!"
"Shut up, mutt. None of these are for you." Said Kaiba sneered back.
"Yami, no, don't!!!!" Yugi and everyone else turned to see Lily and Yami desperately trying to hold back and thrashing Tranquility. "Let me go, aibou. I'm going to kill him! He's the one! He killed me and my child!"
Their attempts were futile, as she quickly maneuvered out of their grasp and was immediately at Seto Kaiba's throat.
Lily was for the first time fearful as her yami started to glow a brilliant silver. She was ready to perform her shadow powers on the hapless body that was rapidly loosing oxygen.
Calmly, Yami stood in front of her, and knelt down to her level. "That's not him, Tranquility." She didn't seem to hear him.
He reached down and lifted up her chin, grabbing her eyes. "It's not Seth."
Her vivid blue eyes had turned to a silvery flame, crazed and unable to reason. Upon hearing this, they retreated back to their original state, looking slightly confused. "It's not?"
Yami shook his head. "It's only his reincarnation. That's not him." Tranquility now heard muffled sobs in the background. His younger brother was crying. No, wait. It was more than that. Her ears perked at the sound of Lily, choking down sobs in the background, too.
"Aibou.." She released her death grip on Kaiba's throat and went to her hurting light. Kaiba coughed and wheezed, unable to draw in enough air to make up for his current lack thereof.
"Aibou, what's wrong?"
"Yami, you're scarring me." She cried. Tranquility held her close. "I'm sorry, aibou. I won't do it again, I promise."
"What, what the hell just happened? What does she have against me?" Kaiba exclaimed.
"Your past self poisoned her, killing her unborn child." Yami filled in. Kaiba looked over at the dark woman that just nearly killed him. She starred at him sadistically, thinking of many different ways that she would enjoy torturing him. 'Watch your back', her voice screeched inside of his head.
Kaiba dropped the bag of presents on the floor. "Merry Christmas," he said, and walked off with Mokuba trailing behind.
