Blood Lust

Chapter_05: Awakening

_~ + ~_

Yugi had woken up from his peaceful slumber. His innocent, amethyst eyes opened to view the world around him. The sun was beginning to set, as were the birds preparing to sleep. Yawning, Yugi stretched as he sat up. Climbing down the rock carefully, he hopped onto the first stepping-stone, making his way across the stream.

His arm was better, probably fully recovered by now. He needed the cast no longer. This was a good thing, considering that Yugi's arm itched like hell right now. He took a switchblade from his back pocket and easily cut open the cast, removing the itching arm gently.

Wondering whether his friends had awoken, Yugi easily sprinted out of the clearing, dumping the cast in a nearby trashcan. His golden bangs flew into his face, his hair bending back from the wind. Yugi's Black sweats and long sleeve shirt kept him warm from the slowly cooling air. His eyes opened in enjoyment, tears streaming down his face from the icy wind. Yugi loved to run, at least when he did it for fun. Being a witch also its perks - they were stronger, faster, and smarter than mortals.

Panting, Yugi finally reached the edge of the park.

¤ Yugi's POV ¤

I looked at the slowly setting sun. Hues of purples, pinks, yellows and reds painted the sky. The clouds seemed to form a dance as the breeze moved them around. I sighed. I haven't relaxed this much since I went through training five years ago.

Turning, I headed home, part of me hoping that my friends were awake, the other hoping that they were still asleep, wanting to be alone.

I opened the door to the game shop, leaving the sign on closed. As I entered the living room, I found that nothing had changed; save the fact Jou had stopped ranting about pies and had now managed to roll halfway across the room, still drooling.

Carefully, I stepped over the bodies on the ground and made my way into my room. There was another e-mail on my laptop.

Walking over to my desk, I plopped down in my black chair. Mostly everything in my room was black. A black laptop and printer on top a black desk. My bed was mattress on the ground covered in black sheets and comforter, but it had several velvet blood red pillows strewn about its surface. Black walls, T.V., bookshelf and dresser completed the motif. The only source of color I had in my room was a bright red lava lamp sitting on my desk and a silver lamp across from it. Of course, there were the crystals that resided on my bookshelf, including my favorite tracking method: a crystal orb. It had a dragon curling around its base, ruby studs for eyes glaring menacingly at anyone who came near it. I had perfected the art of scrying, so it was easy to track down any vampire who was not strong enough to block me.

( I made up his room, this is NOT what his room actually looks like )

Turning my attention back to the screen, I scanned my messages.

Junk.

Junk.

Junk.

You may be a winner.

Junk.

Jii-chan.

I read that message quickly before deleting it. Nothing new, just Jii-chan checking up on me.

Junk.

Yami.

Oh shit.

I still haven't figured out how he had gotten my e-mail.

I scanned it quickly.

Sender:  Daemon_Lord@Kiyomi.net

Subject:  Warning

Message Sent:  3-20-04 at 18:41:55

Message:  They're after you so watch out.

Why had he sent it?

Who was after me?

Why the hell didn't he give me a straight answer?!

Does he enjoy seeing me confused?

If that was his purpose, then he succeeded. More questions to add to my list concerning Yami.

I shook my head, trying to clear it, but to no avail. It was useless. I had Yami on my mind, and I couldn't get him off of it. Sighing, I shut down the computer and headed to the shower. I let the hot water flow over my body, soothing my tense muscles.

My hand traveled down to my growing erection, I ran it up and down
my shaft emitting a small moan.

Fully relaxed, I kept stroking myself, thinking of no one in particular. I was
so near. I rubbed my thumb over the head in small circles, precum oozing out.
Groaning, I wanted more. Pumping my manhood fast, I started to pant, screaming
out a name that I didn't realize. Cum shot out and sprayed the shower.

Panting, I clung to wall.

Who's name had I called out?

Who?

I thought back.

I had called out Yami.

That fact shocked me.

Did I have feelings for him?

That was impossible! He wasn't even alive!

Witches weren't supposed to have any relationship with the Leeches besides
mortal enemies.

So why did I feel this way towards Yami?

¤ Normal POV ¤

Still confused, and disturbed, Yugi turned off the water, the steam in the bathroom slowly beginning to subside.  He grabbed his towel, and headed into his room.  Yugi had already finished his homework, so he pretty much had the rest of the night free.  And it was only 7.  Fun.

Now what? He thought impatiently.

Everyone else is probably still asleep.  Oh well, might as well check on them.  Now doesn't that sound like heaps of fun? He thought cynically.

Figuring what the hell, he made his way downstairs into the living room.  They were starting to wake.

Kuso.  I was hoping they were still asleep.  But then the longer they were asleep the more questions they would ask.  Especially Honda…Yugi made a face at this thought.

Approaching his friends, he found, to his amusement, Jou lying in a puddle of his own drool, kicking his legs out and whimpering.

Puppy was the first thing that came to Yugi's mind at the sight of Jou.  He had to grin at that thought.  And then he took out his camera and snapped away.  Double benefits of blackmail and selling to the student body.  Easy money.

He laid back against the couch, watching his 'friends' get up.  First came Anzu, then Honda, Ryou, Shizuka, and then Jou.  It was several minutes before any of them could speak.  This amused Yugi to no end.

Ryou was the first to speak.

"How long have we been down and out?" He implored, brown eyes widening in confusion. (Kawaii!!!!!!! *huggles*)

"Uhhh…about a day, I think." Yugi replied.

"No way!" Jou exclaimed.

Glaring, or at least attempting to, Jou exclaimed.

Glaring, or at least attempting to, Yugi threw the newspaper at Jou.  His eyes widening considerably, he began to ask another question when Honda interrupted.

"How the Hell did we sleep for a day straight without even knowing?!"

Yugi glared, turned, and headed up to his room, but before uttering one word: "Yami."
