Yami and Serenity walked and talked for hours. It was close to sunset when they turned around to walk home. It was between light and dark out, an hour of the night when it was hard to see. Serenity felt uneasy, though she was near Yami, and knew no harm would come to her with him there. But she decided to ask anyway. "Yami, it's getting late. And to be honest.I'm a little nervous." She said. Yami looked down, still walking with long strides. "Don't worry, Serenity. No harm will come to you. If anything happens, I'm here." Serenity nodded. "I've just.never really liked the dark ever since.I began to lose my eyesight. Just promise me.you'll stay with me?" Yami looked a little more solemn, and answered so gently in a soft voice that Serenity instantly felt safe.
"I promise. You have my word." Serenity nodded. "Okay." She walked a bit closer to him, so that once in a while her arm would bump into his. She looked around herself, afraid to be jumped by something or someone. Yami suddenly stopped, and Serenity looked up at him. "What's the matter?" She asked quietly. "I feel someone near. Be still. Don't make a sound." He whispered. They were hidden in the shadows of the night, but Serenity could hear the faint sound of someone walking. Yami led her into a side ally, having her crouch down next to him.
She did, as Yami pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her, trying to conceal her and protect her. Serenity was blushing in the dark, but was too scared to say anything. She went with what Yami wanted her to do, submitting to his wishes and staying still. His body was warm, making the cool night not seem so scary. She was pressed against his chest, so that she could hear his heartbeat. His whole body was crouched over her, his back facing the street, with his head cocked to one side so that he could watch for the enemy. They heard the murmur of voices going by, as they listened in.
"Master Marik wants us to capture Wheeler's sister, huh?" He asked his friend. "That's right. Says he's got use for her. Whatever that means." "Marik said that girl and the Yugi kid went out for a tour of Battle City." "Yeah, they shouldn't be too far." They stopped right in front of their hiding place. Serenity began to whimper a little, scared and shaking all over. "Shhh." Yami hushed her gently, hugging her closer. "Why can't we just kill them and get 'em out of our way?" "My thoughts exactly. But Marik wants her alive. He wants the PHARAOH dead." Yami closed his eyes, letting his head drop a bit, sighing quietly. "Come on, let's find them and get it over with. I'm starving."
When Yami was sure they were gone, he let out a sigh, and Serenity instantly started crying. "They're going to kill you, Yami." She whispered, as Yami kept her close. She buried her face into his shirt. "I'm scared, Yami. What do they want with me?" She sobbed, gripping his shirt tightly. Yami looked down. "Marik has a twisted mind, Serenity. He thinks that I killed his father. And I didn't. He only wants to avenge his father. And whoever gets in his way becomes a target." He sighed, holding her to provide comfort. "I'm sorry you got in the middle of this." He shut his eyes tightly, wishing that it never came upon her.
Serenity looked up, her face covered with trails of tears. "It's not your fault. I'm just sorry that you have such a great burden to carry." She rested her head on his shoulder, still clutching his shirt. "I'm sorry you must face this alone." Yami slowly got up, helping Serenity to her feet. "We must be quiet while we move. If they find us we might be outnumbered." Serenity nodded, though she wasn't sure Yami saw her. He looked up and down the street, making sure that the coast was clear. He motioned to Serenity, who stepped out of the shadows and into the street, close to his side.
"I'm going to take you to your brother, Serenity. It's far too dangerous for you to be with me anymore." Yami said, as they walked quickly down the sidewalk. The shops and apartment buildings were dark; the only thing that aided them to see were the streetlights. Serenity was too stunned to protest Yami's suggestion. She knew he was right, but she was afraid for him. She knew that those Rare Hunters meant business. So she solemnly nodded, though it was too dark for Yami to have noticed.
"Will they kill you Yami?" She asked suddenly. Yami looked over with petrified eyes. The red/purple orbs were full of sheer horror at Serenity's shuddering voice. "I-I.Serenity.I don't need you to worry." "But I AM worried, Yami. You don't understand.if they DO kill you, I'll be losing my two closest friends, and who knows what will happen AFTER. You CAN'T let them, Yami. You HAVE to hide from them!" Yami sighed, looking into Serenity's hazel eyes. They had reached Joey's apartment complex. "Serenity." There were too loud voices coming from behind them. The two Rare Hunters that they had thought they had lost, were now running after them.
"THERE THEY ARE! AFTER THEM!!"
"Serenity, GO!" Yami commanded, almost literally throwing the door open and shoving her in. "Bu- "Just GO!" Serenity nodded, noticing Yami was getting frustrated with her stalling. As soon as Yami heard her footsteps clamoring up the stairs, he took off running, trying to lose them. His heart sped fast, thumping in time with his footsteps, and increasing speed with every step. His long, muscular legs gave him an advantage over them, and he turned corners and ran across streets, in an attempt to make them lose sight of him.
His muscles were strong, but his lungs were beginning to burn. The lack of oxygen make him dizzy and disoriented. He stumbled when he tripped over the curb, only just keeping his balance long enough to stay on his feet. He started to slow, and he felt arms seizing him. He fell unconscious with a whack to the head by a metal object. All went dark, and that was the last he remembered.
R&R please. Thank you!
