Chapter Four: Death's Embrace.
"Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other." ~ Francis Bacon
Passion in the air was thick enough you could see it. The room was filled with the occasional soft sounds of someone, or rather two someones, experiencing ecstasy. There where defiant signs of someone trying their hardest not to scream.
Their face was pressed into a pillow out of their own will, their teeth clenched tightly onto the fabric of it. Their flaxen blonde hair was matted to their face by the sweat produced in their current 'activities'. Ocher eyes where half lidded catching a brief gaze with azure ones as damp chestnut locks fell over them.
Both figures where defiantly male, their strong chests heaving up and down in an exhausted but still so full of life sort-of-way.
Pale lavender eyes opened, the scene faded away. The lavender orbs where devoid of life, of emotion, though the lips that belonged to the owner of those lifeless eyes where pulled into an all-knowing smirk. The vision he had just had sincerely made his day.
Blood red eyes locked with the lavender ones, they flashed with bemusement. "What is it that you saw, Ishtar? I have not seen you grin like that in ages," Viper, the owner of the blood red orbs, whispered to his ever still companion.
"It seems like our little 'Kaiba-kins' is all grown up and even falling in love," a sense of hilarity was found in his voice; it was small and unable to catch unless you where looking for it. "It would seem that little pup has gotten to him more then we original believed."
A raven eyebrow arched upwards. "Wouldn't that be considered betrayal?" Crimson orbs flashed dangerously.
"He's become attached to the enemy, and one of the ones that poses an actual threat to our organization," Ishtar replied sternly, "I believe that would be. Do you know where they're keeping the boy?"
"I'm afraid not," Viper replied, "but as soon is Jade is here with that Yugi kid it won't be too hard to find out."
"And if he fails to cooperate and meet our demands, what then?" He felt a headache coming on. It seemed sometimes running this operation was more work and stress then it was really worth.
Viper stepped behind the chair, sensing a new tense air about his 'master'. He brought his fingers to the sandy blonde haired man's temples, leaving a trail of feather-light touches along the way. "I'm surprised with you Ishtar. You should know the answer to that question," his fingers moved in a circular motion, massaging the flesh underneath them gently, "you use your powers to attain the information just as you always have."
The blonde moved back into the touches, lifeless lavender eyes slipping close. "I don't know if that will be possible with this one," a sigh escaped Ishtar's lips, "he has powers that sleep within him, powers that will awaken. I know not what will cause it, but if I pry into his mind that may very well trigger the awakening. I fear these powers Viper."
"I have never known you to fear anything," He teased, his expert hands moving away from the temples and moving down to Ishtar's neck where they resumed their ministrations.
"I fear a lot of things," the sudden change caused him to tense, but soon relaxed welcoming the gentle hands.
"Like what?"
"Like I'd ever tell you, you'd use them against me. I know you would Viper."
"I would do no such thing – master – I am your loyal servant."
"If only I could believe that. "
"And why not?"
"You're not the easiest person to trust given your history of backstabbing not to mention murders. I'm surprised you haven't tried to kill me while I sleep."
"Sorry to disappoint you – master – but I would never do such a thing to you,"
"Now it's my turn to ask why."
"Some things in life are far too precious."
Ishtar lifted his hand up, dragging it across the features of Viper's faces; slowly letting his eyes close. With a deep breath he let a vision come to him. That blonde pup, Jounouchi, lay on the floor, a sword through his throat, completely lifeless.
Over the lifeless body stood Viper. His chest heaving up and down, clearly short of breath, there was a slight red tint of exhaustion to his cheeks. Everything looked fine, but something wasn't right. There was something about this vision that made the hairs on his neck stand on end.
'Viper, what's going to happen to you? If you're going to win, I would not see this,' Ishtar bit down on his lip, anticipating what would come next in the visions.
Three small flashes passed by. Viper with horror stuck look upon his face was the first one. Followed by one of the same sword used to kill Jounouchi jabbed through his stomach, and the third was Kaiba, grinning but had emotionless eyes like he felt no remorse for what he had just done.
Then again, Kaiba had never shown any remorse for what he had done before. Why should he start then?
His skin paled as he pulled his hand away, a scowl across his features. Lavender eyes fluttered open, and if he had not lost the ability to cry so long ago, he would've then. He brushed a few of the raven locks away from the pale face and scarlet orbs, placing the loose strands behind Viper's ear.
Tips of his fingers traced across the shell of his ear, falling down upon the neck. His eyes locked with the deep scarlet ones, and for a brief moment his own lifeless lavender ones flickered of worry. He pulled his hand and eyes away, looking off at the wall on the other side of the room. All traces of emotion that had occupied them had already fled.
"What's wrong? You suddenly went pale," Viper placed a concerned hand on his 'master's' shoulders. "What is it that you saw?"
There was only a faint groan as his reply. He sighed shaking his head making raven locks fall into his face. "You can tell me, Ishtar, you know that."
"I know I can tell you," His own hand reached up placing it atop the one meant to comfort him. It brought him no comfort, only a strange sickening twist in his stomach. "I know I can tell you everything…" The next bit of words where mumbled under his breath, "I trust you completely."
"Then why so reluctant to tell?" A raven eyebrow quirked upwards once again at Ishtar.
All words failed him then. He wanted to satisfy Viper's curiosity, while he did not wish to tell him he was going to die. How could anyone tell them such things? He just stared blankly at the wall. "Please speak to me – master – dear."
Reluctant hands grasp painfully tight on his own, jerking one of them from their previous setting atop of Ishtar's shoulder. Void eyes locked deeply into the very depth of a seas of blood that where Viper's eyes. Their faces where close. Noses brushed together, soft breaths tickling each other's lips playfully.
"I saw when they come again, it will happen sooner this time. They'll come to rescue Yugi, there are still seven, one of them is Kaiba but he does not come to fight," the words where but whispers falling onto the lips of the person he was oh so close to. Viper could breath Ishtar's words. "When they come Viper, I forbid you to fight Jounouchi. You will kill him and Kaiba will kill you. I can not take such risks, do you understand me?"
Hands where dropped back to Viper's sides, but their faces did not move. They remained close locked in a deep understanding gaze.
"I understand completely, but I can make no promises." He hadn't bothered to whisper the words, or to be kind. Rather he was blunt with the way he said them. Blunt to the point where it was almost cruel.
Ishtar's eyes narrowed, showing a glint of anger and frustration in them. "Viper!" He snapped but was silenced by a finger pressed on his lips before he could protest. He wanted to tell him he didn't want him to die. He wanted to tell him that he needed him to be alive, to be with him. But Viper wouldn't allow that.
"Ishtar, do not fear, I will not promise you I will not fight but I promise you I will do my best to stay alive." His finger brushed ever-so-lightly over the sandy-blonde haired boy's lips before moving back to place a comforting hand on his shoulder once again. "Now if you would excuse me, I have something's to do."
His hand ran down the side of the arm pulling the hand upwards. He dipped his head down, raven locks falling and covering eyes, but clearly if Ishtar had seen them they would've held a mischievous characteristic. Lips brushed lightly against his hand before retreating. "Farwell for now," Viper gave a hint of a smirk before exiting through the doors. (1)
"Such an intractable idiot."
~*~*~
"Jade," Yugi called sleepily to the girl currently caring him, "I'm getting kind of dizzy, would you mind if was stopped for a little while?"
Moss brown locked blew momentarily through a light breeze, jade eyes looked down upon the innocent boy. The owner flashed a small smile at him. "We'll be to the staircase in a few minutes, we can stop then."
"Okay," Deep violet eyes slipped closed as he snuggled into the warmth close by him. He hadn't expected anyone for God's Will to be as nice as Jade was. He had expected someone like the guy Viper that people have told him about, or another priest that would be equally cruel towards him to come and snatch him.
Instead Jade had simply lifted him from his bed, telling him that it would be best not to struggle so she would not have to be forceful. The way she had held him was so gentle and trusting; so he listened to her letting take him away.
"Am I going to die?" He asked suddenly, the girl looked down at him in wonderment. The question seemed to have arisen from now where. "I've lost many friends to the hand of your organization. Am I to suffer the same fate as they have?"
"I assure you," Jade spoke softly in an attempt to comfort the worried boy. It failed to do much though; he hadn't really needed any comforting to begin with. "Father Viper has no intention of murdering you nor does Master Ishtar."
They came to a large statue of the Virgin Mary in the center of town. Jade set the boy down before kneeling by the statue in a praying position. It was just as Jounouchi had described to Bakura. She rose to her feet, picking Yugi up again. "You're such a trusting boy, aren't you?" She frowned a bit at the thought of that.
"I feel that I can trust you, Jade," Yugi replied blinking sleepily, "should I not be trusting you?" They walked through the door in the alleyway, heading down the staircase. The large cobblestone door closed behind them.
She placed the small boy down on the hard rock steps, frowning even still. "It's not that Yugi," she explained with a bit of a sigh, "It's just you could've run away when I had set you down out there. You could've gotten away and saved yourself and quite possibly other people, but you didn't."
"What do you mean I could've other people?" Now Yugi was frowning too. He hoped that his friends wouldn't get hurt because of him. He didn't believe he could live with himself if that where to ever happen.
"I mean, I know not of what Viper and Ishtar plan for them," Jade let her eyes slip close as she spoke. Her hands clutched tightly together in a praying stature. "I wish I could tell you more."
The stairway fell silent; Yugi was sure she was praying now, and he did not wish to disturb her worship. For minute he lay quiet, head leaning against the cold stone of the walls. They where so cold, they had felt damp but he was assured they where dry. Jade continued praying, muttering words inside of her head.
There was a faint glimmer at the lower section of the stairs. Startled Yugi's head snapped to the direction it came from having seen it from the corner of his eye. 'What was that?' he thought before soundlessly standing up.
The glimmer appeared again, entrancing and inviting, beckoning Yugi to come and greet it. Violet eyes stayed locked onto the glimmer, placing still steps upon the stone staircase. He followed it without a worry, not even afraid that Jade might be worried when she opens her eyes to find that he had left her.
It lead him all the way down the stairs before fading away. Reality came back to Yugi upon hearing footsteps. His current surroundings where unfamiliar to him, and he realized then that he had left Jade at the top of the staircase. There was no other way to go, so he could probably just stay where he was and she would find him.
However he felt something tugging him away from the staircase. He glanced up to see if Jade was coming, seeing that she was not he let out a sigh. She was probably still praying. 'It wouldn't hurt to see where this feeling is tugging me…' he thought to himself, lilac eyes slipping closed for a brief moment. Giving the stairwell another quick glance to make sure he hadn't missed the brunette woman before, he began walking away.
His feet lead him farther then he believed they would. There where many doors past by, but they seemed to not exist to the tricolor haired boy. His feet lead him to the large double doors at the end of one of the many tunnels and hallways he had passed through. They where beautiful, made of ebony and featured stained glass windows that made a mural of Jesus when he was crucified.
Slim fingers passed over the wood for a long lasting moment before pushing the door open. The doors where most defiantly not deceiving. The room was lit by what seemed like a thousand white candles held by gold candelabras. Down the center of the considerably large room was a red velvet carpet leading up to an altar. On both side of the carpet there where a dozen of ebony benches, lined with what Yugi could only assume was ivory silk.
Yugi followed the red carpet up to the alter. He noted behind it was a large crucifix hanging on the wall. It seemed to call him to it. He walked passed the podium and his eyes rested upon a kneeling man.
The man had fairly long silver hair, about shoulder length and perfectly strait. He was wearing traditional long tailed white suit in which looked newly pressed. His hands where clutched around a rosary that he had pressed to his forehead. His eyes where squeezed shut, though even if they where open Yugi would not be able to tell the color. He was on his knees, hunched over and most defiantly praying.
'I wonder what it's like to pray,' Yugi frowned at the thought, 'but I do not know of their God, nor do I know if he would except me.' He took another step forward, causing the praying man to stir. "I'm sorry I did not mean to cause a disturbance," Yugi apologized as the man turned around to face him.
'He has mahogany eyes,' was the first thing he thought upon seeing his face.
A single tear tumbled down the side of the smooth pale face. The silver haired man lifted his hand and brushed it away. "It is I who should apologize little one," he gave a slight bow, "if I would've known that someone was in my presence I would've greeted you accordingly."
"Are you what your God calls an angel?" The question came without warning. Yugi blushed and lowered his head, but the man had just chuckled.

(1) Scene *is* supposed to be "Homoerotic" in case you where wondering. ^_^ No I'm not planning on making them a couple, but I felt bad that the next couple of chapters where going to be pretty damn sucky on the happiness scale. So conceder this a gift…?
Gomen. I did not mean to put a cliff hanger in here, however, this chapter was getting mighty long as it is so I decided to put an end to it. Remember reviews are very nice things! ^_^
