Between Angels and Demons
Chapter 4: I Know
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ryou stood from his place on the roof of the warehouse, having heard everything said between Michael and his two friends. His eyes were dark and emotionless from the words and his memories of what happened between him and Bakura.
~*~ FLASHBACK ~*~
"No, Yugi. You and Malik go ahead... I'll be just fine." He never took his eyes from Bakura. "He can't do anything unless I want him to."
Malik looked him over and muttered. "I dunno about that..."
Bakura grinned, showing small fangs. "I promise I won't hurt him. You have my word."
~*~ END FLASHBACK ~*~
"Apparently your word means nothing Bakura."
"Apparently." Bakura's voice replied softly behind him. Ryou stiffened as he felt a pair of strong arms slip around his waist and hold him close as a pair of lips slipped gently over his neck, kissing him softly. Ryou moaned quietly.
"How can I trust you Bakura? You hurt me once, not to mention that you are an incubus. All you may want is sex, or for me to become a fallen under your power."
"Now that is a dilemma, isn't it Ryou? But if that were true... wouldn't I be raping you right now? I've done it to others before."
Ryou nuzzled into his arms as he gently swayed to a slow heart beat of a song that only celestial beings could ever hear.
Bakura moved gently, holding Ryou's hips flush with his and rocked him carefully, stepping slowly in time to the little one's movements.
Suddenly Ryou turned in his arms to face him. He looked deeply into Bakura's eyes and leaned forward, closing his eyes gently, his long lashes kissing the tops of his cheeks as he blushed. Bakura's eyes widened at Ryou's offer. He started to lean down to meet Ryou's petal soft lips with his own when he remembered himself last minute and kissed Ryou gently on the cheek.
Ryou opened his eyes in confusion. "W-why didn't you kiss me Bakura? Am I not... desirous enough?"
Bakura flushed and looked at him, shaking his head. "No. It's because of how desirous you are that I did not kiss you. If I had, I wouldn't have been able to stop myself."
Ryou smiled at the revelation when a sound from inside the warehouse caught his attention. He pushed away from Bakura and went to the hole, peering in to see his companions looking scared and surprised at two humans.
~*~
Jou looked from the body of his sister Serenity, to the body of her lover Anzu, and then back to the two boys that sat on crates beside them.
Yugi whispered gently to Malik. "It's a good thing our wings are folded in, otherwise they'd know..."
Malik just nodded and jumped from the crate to stand between the humans and Yugi.
Seto cleared his throat. "I suggest you boys come with us and turn yourselves in. I can easily call the police and have them here in no time." He flicked his cell phone open and dialed the police. He spoke shortly with them while keeping a tight hand on Jou's arm, knowing Jou was going to kill the boys if his grip slipped even slightly. He then hung up. "They'll be here soon."
Jou's eyes filled with tears. "HOW COULD YOU?! THEY WERE IN LOVE!!!"
Yugi's eyes flashed for a second. "We did not do what you see Seto Kaiba and Jounouchi Katsuya. They were dead when we got here."
Both Jou and Seto startled at the sound of their names from this strange boy. Seto was the first to recover and glared.
"Who are you? How do you know our names!" he demanded.
Yugi looked at Malik and nodded. "You wouldn't believe us if we told you."
Jou shook loose from Kaiba and ran forward, tackling Malik and began to strike him hard, throwing wild punches at his head and torso. He felt Malik's skin and muscle sink in around his fist and he could have sworn he heard bones crack when he felt impossibly strong hands grip him and pull him off of Malik.
"LET GO OF ME KAIBA!!!" Jou roared. There was silence and then a husky quiet voice hissed a response in his ear.
"I'm not Kaiba... My name is Marik, and you hurt my angel for something _I_ did."
Suddenly the room span dark and Jou's vision swam. He could hear Kaiba yelling at him but couldn't open his eyes to look at him. He sighed before letting go and surrendering to the darkness.
~*~
Yami stood in front of Kaiba, holding him off until Marik finished and turned around to face Kaiba. Behind him was a column of golden energy that surrounded and held Jou's body tightly. Jou's face was relaxed and actually looked as if he had merely fallen asleep. Marik looked over to Malik and back at a stunned Kaiba, his wings glittering as he spoke to him.
"Seto Kaiba, your friend here made a great mistake. He attacked a heavenly angel and my destined. I suggest you calm down so that we can talk about this."
Suddenly the windows of the warehouse glowed red and blue and sirens pierced the air. Yami moved quickly, his wings unfurling. "We have to cast the spell." He looked toward the opening in the roof and whistled low, causing Bakura to stick his head in and nod. Soon Bakura and Ryou had floated down and landed. Bakura took Ryou to Yugi who was now cradling a knocked out, though healed Malik.
"Stay here and no matter what, none of you move." Bakura then went to the circle that Yami had drawn in the dust on the floor and drew a quick symbol. He glanced up at Seto. "I suggest that you say nothing about us or your friend. They will see you, but not us." and with that he nodded to Yami who began chanting. Soon Bakura and Marik were joining him, speaking three different chants at once.
"Hey! Who's here?!" A loud voice called and the next thing Seto knew a bright light was flashed in his face.
"Oh Mr. Kaiba! I'm sorry, did you see the murder- Oh geez!" The burly policeman carrying the flashlight looked over the
bodies. "Well they were pretty... and from what's left of their clothes they sure looked sluty... Maybe a drifter..." Seto watched as the man walked forward and straight through Yami, pausing with his body halfway in a grimacing Marik, the other half scanning the area.
"Well damn... no footprints anywhere either... Well criminalistics can deal with it." He then walked out as more people came in and took pictures of everything. A random police officer asked him a couple of questions and had him sign a couple documents. Afterwards the city coroner came in and took a couple of pictures before bagging the bodies and carrying them away. She shook her head sadly at Seto as she left.
Once all the cars had left the three incubi stopped chanting. Seto just looked blankly at everything in shock. Yami sighed.
"This is going to be confusing... and most likely will shake everything you ever believed in."
Seto nodded numbly and sat on a crate, trying to keep his head from spinning. Here he was, sane Seto Kaiba, the CEO of a major company and considered to be completely unshakable. Well right now he was damn well shaken.
"Seto Kaiba, you and your friend Jounouchi Katsuya have stumbled upon the universe's biggest secrets. Angels and Demons. These three young ones here..." Yami motioned to the three huddling angels, "are angels. And not just angels, they are Archangels. We three," he motioned to himself and the other two incubi, "are Fallen, though better known by mortals such as yourself, as demons. We all have our own powers and things we reign over. I am the Demon of Death, though my name is Yami."
Yami motioned for the others to introduce themselves.
Marik stepped forward. "I am the Demon of Offense. My name is Marik." He then stepped back and knelt beside the slowly waking Malik.
Bakura stood stock still, arms crossed. "Demon of Hate. Bakura." He nodded at Ryou. "That is my destined, the Angel of Love.
His name is Ryou." Ryou blushed crimson.
Yugi stood and stepped timidly to Yami's side. "I am the Angel of Life. My name is Yugi."
Malik stood on wobbly feet and scanned Seto to see if he was a danger before speaking. "I am the Angel of Protection, Malik."
Seto nodded. "So there is a-"
Bakura shook his head and stretched his hand out to Ryou who came over and snuggled into his arms. "Not a. Many. Almost every religion's. Though the most powerful ones are the Egyptian."
Yami looked at them. "I think it would be best if we all go somewhere safe and soon. The sun is coming out, and mortals will be milling around. The gods may hate us now, but they'll be even angrier if we are spotted. It's one thing to have our wings tucked into our backs and in the dark, but not even tucking them will make them hidden in the daylight."
Seto stood. "You can hide at my mansion during the day today. Just... Stay out of sight of the servants."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Seto: Yeah... with your wings and everything...
Yami: -_-u
Yugi: *cuddles to Yami's side*
Fox: *sighs* You guys are going to drive me nuts... Why am I the only straight guy here anyway...
Because you're mine...
Bakura: We're all yours.
Yeah, but he's ONLY mine. And he's my Yami.
Everyone but Fox: ...
Fox: *snuggles* Ok well if you readers liked what my aibou wrote... review please!
Bakura: Oh and big thanks and cyber-cookies go to Anneirda Nikaru, FallenAngelYuy, ChaosDragon, aZn*pRyD, Genie, DevilishArchAngl, GarnetAlexander, and TJ for reviewing! Thank you!
