A/N
I apologize (again) for the long awaited real chapter. I will be posting Bloody Scales again soon... When I remember what the third chapter was all about! ^.^;; Anyway, I appreciate all the support from everyone, and hope for the best to what's gonna happen. Surprisingly, he seems much better. He's gay, and I'm OK with that (after all, if I wasn't, why in the nine hells would I be writing a yaoi fic?!), and there are plenty more fish in the sea for him.
Moving on...
I'm sorry if this chapter's short. I've written down almost EVERY single chapter for all of my fics... But I just got my braces (the higher power forbid...), and I got to stay home today since the metal on my teeth are cutting open my cheeks, and it hurts like HELL. (;.;)
One more question: has anyone even looked at Jack? I mean, no one's commented... Here's what you should search for on google:
jack.keenspace.com
~^.^~ It's kinda gory... and sick... and twisted... But more than once I had to keep myself from crying. Like one scenario: This guy works on a cancer ward and looks after the children. His wife has cancer, too. This guy's boss molests the children, and the guy finds out. But the boss threatens to kill his wife. So-o-o, he has no choice but to keep quiet... (^.^;;) Oh, lookie me! I'm spoiling it for you all!! ^-^;; Sorry! Anyway, that's just one of the many different story lines. Why's it called Jack? Because always someone ends up dying, and the reaper's name is "Jack." The reaper hates his job... I'm spoiling again!!
OK, on to the fic! ^_^

Demon's Tears
Chapter Four
~*~
The crunching of bones filled the chilly night air as we feasted. Who knew that there were so many tender little brats in one city? Jou quickly inhaled his chunk of meat, swallowed, and proceeded to turn a healthy shade of blue. A large belch followed.
"Oh, good Bruce Almighty(1) Jou! Where are your manners?"
Everyone stared at Ryou for a moment. He didn't give a damn about manners anymore...
"Can you teach me how to get one out that big?" he pleaded. Jou blinked, and slowly mumbled a "yes." Yuugi chuckled din a dark sort of way, and Malik rolled his eyes. All four were lounging in a large circle around a makeshift fire which crackled merrily in front of them. The circle was stationed in the middle of the deserted city, fires still burning in buildings. Malik suddenly stretched, breaking the rare silence among all four of them. "Well, I'm goin' to bed." He trotted away from the three. Ryou and Jou confused themselves in the art of belching, and Yuugi watched half-heartedly.
A sudden crash interrupted them all.
Jou yelped from the sudden noise, landing on top of Ryou who was also very much surprised. Malik came running from the dumpster he had found stuffed with old blankets, and stopped when he saw the fighting stance of Ryou and Jou.
Yuugi glared in the direction of the sound, not getting up. He was still in his lounging state. Fact was, he didn't give a damn. He was tired, and he was going to burn whoever dare disturb him to cinders.
But who came out from the corner of the street stopped all thoughts from the creatures to kill.
Amazement took over.

After Yami and crew had led all the people to their "secret hideout" (only it wasn't secret anymore), they fed and watered the children, and even gave them a few matches to play with. Everyone seemed to be happy now.
Yami wiped the slight sheen of sweat off of his forehead, and sought out Draz. He was sitting with a kid, playing with him. He silently stepped up to him, and cleared his throat. Draz looked up quickly. "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't see you there!" He set the child on his pins, and shooed him away. "Don't worry, not many people do," Yami said bitterly. Draz looked at him in surprise. "What do you mean?"
Yami sighed. "It's a long story."
"Well, so is the one I'm going to tell you. So-o-o, why don't you tell me first?"
Yami sighed again, straightened himself out, and began the long tale.
Draz was a very good listener. He nodded whenever he thought was a good time to nod, and smiled encouragingly whenever Yami stopped uncertainly. When the story was finished, however, he looked like a fish out of water. "What?!"
"Yes, we think that our lovers are those creatures. And, might I add, we look just like them. In human form, of course."
Draz sat there in a daze. Yami looked down at the ground. "Please don't hate me..." he said quietly.
Draz looked at him for a moment, before he started to laugh. "My lad, I don't hate you! I could practically kiss you! Don't you see?!" he shouted excitedly.
Yami blinked owlishly, and shook his head.
"It means," Draz said, holding up a finger, "that you can go do something to the brutes! It's obvious that they're under a spell of some kind!" Draz started to hop around on his two feet. "Oh, this is wonderful! Splendid! I'm coming with!"
Yami had kept on blinking stupidly at the dancing man, until he said the last line. "W-what?!" he sputtered.
Draz turned to him, his eyes sparkling. They looked, oddly enough, like that of a fox. A hint of mischief in them, knowledge, and cunning. He blinked again, and instead of a man in front of him, a rather blackish-blue fox was there, standing on all fours. Its green eyes sparkled at him.
"Well, I told you I was coming!" it said happily.
Yami blinked again, and crouched down at the fox's level. "Get on my shoulder, then." The fox hopped up onto Yami's shoulder, and settled down comfortably on it. "Let's go get the others. May as well go now. The people can take care of themselves, right Draz?" The fox nodded.
Yami whooped, a sound that called them all, grabbed his machine gun, and sprinted out of the underground "secret place," Marik, Bakura, and Seto following shortly after.
~*~
"So, how exactly are we going to find them, eh?" Kaiba asked in between puffs. They'd been running for about three hours non-stop. You can imagine how tired you'd get after that, ne?
Yami turned around at him, and, while running backwards answered: "I've got a locater device hooked onto one of their tails. And they're always together, so we'll find the rest with the one that got marked."
"Plus," Bakura added, "I've got a feeling-"
"Oh, for heaven's sake! Shut up about your "feelings" already!" Marik butted in. Yami, Seto, and Draz looked on in amusement, before Yami back straight into a wall. "Ow!"
Everyone fell silent as Yami looked at his locater device, and his eyes widened. "We're here," Yami whispered. "Everyone, be quiet!"
They all nodded, and crept in different directions. Bakura went for the roof, as did Marik. Seto got on the burning fore escape (you know, those ladders?), and Yami peeked around the corner.
There they all were, sitting in a circle.
~*~ (Change o' POV point of view)
I spotted him without hesitation. Even in a dragon form, he was still as sexy as I remember him. Those lips, still slightly human, his hips that curved, his cat-like grace when he moved at all, whether it be walking or shifting in his seat.
He was still perfect.
His ebony scales sparkled when the light caught them just right, and the spikes on his head shifted slightly when he turned his head.
I wish you were mine...
I shifted and grabbed my gun. Moving without a sound, something I had learned throughout these long seven years, I got into a firing distance.
And then a chunk of the fire escape ladder fell down, ending with a large thud. The sudden bang made me jump, and I fell down onto the street below me, Draz hanging to my shoulders for dear life. Bakura and Marik jumped down with me, and Seto... He came down with the bang.
As the dust cleared, surprised animals stood there, gaping at us. Then Yuugi, the damn bastard that he had become, recollected himself, and spoke.
"Well well, looks like those worthless humans brought us summit to eat! A bit late, though..."
His voice seemed to penetrate the fog in their minds, and all soon had recomposed themselves. Each glared at their respective counterpart. Yuugi glared at me.
"Hello, puppy," Seto greeted Jou. He snarled, and launched himself at him. A fight ensued. Malik jumped back just in time to dodge an oncoming knife, and the two of them were soon in a heated battle as well.
It was just me and Bakura now.
Yuugi glanced at Ryou, and he nodded back slightly. Both were gone in a heartbeat. I blinked, but Bakura seemed to be expecting this. He whirled around, threw aside Yuugi, and grabbed the wolf. He kicked him in the chest and sent him sprawling. Ryou was up in an instant, along with Yuugi. An explosion was heard behind them, but neither flinched.
Bakura snapped his fingers. "Damn! They're getting better!" Ryou looked madder than a scalded dog. He howled long and hard, then charged, slamming into Bakura and sending them flying into the ally behind him. Draz looked alarmed, and launched himself off of my shoulder and after the two fliers.
I looked back at Yuugi.
It's just you and me now, love.
He looked at me in disgust, and aligned his wings, preparing for flight. I just stood there, silent, my gun resting at my side. He glanced at me, and took off running. As he sped past me, I reached out my hand, and grabbed one of the many spines. I hauled myself onto Yuugi's back, much to his dislike.
"Get the fuck off me!"
I looked around his back, avoiding his attempts to push me off of him. "I don't see any fuck," I said playfully.
He stopped running and looked at me. "You haven't changed at all in seven years, have you?"
"Nope!"
He sighed, and lie down. Crossing his arms in front of himself, he rested his head on top of them, and exhaled. I mimicked him, only on his back. Yuugi glanced back at me quizzically. "Why aren't you getting off me?"
" 'Cause I'm quite happy here," I replied.
He sighed again, and slowly turned into his slightly human form (like he'd still have wings, still be bigger, still have claws, teeth, and tail... but have a human face and can stand on two feet). I blinked, something I had been doing a lot lately. He glanced back at my questioning gaze, and smirked.
"For you, my dear," he said sarcastically. I smiled at him, and slipped off of his back. He blinked at me, confused. My smirk remained as I sidled up to him, moving my hips slightly. Arriving at my destination (the front of Yuugi), I waited until he got up. Seemingly knowing my commanding gaze, he slowly stood.
Good...
I wrapped my arms around his neck, and smiled seductively at him.
Then I kissed him.
