Chapter 6- Temptation for the Damned
Téa moaned as she stirred into consciousness. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and stretched. She muscles were sore from sleeping on the chair, but the stretching helped. She blinked, adjusting her eyes to the darkness of the room. She glanced at her clock it was six o'clock in the evening. She couldn't believe she had slept the whole day away.
She walked over to the window in her room and pushed back the heavy dark violet curtains. She opened the large window and stepped out onto her small balcony. She inhaled deeply allowing fresh breath to enter into her lungs. There was also a gentle breeze blowing in the night air and it felt good on her face. She stretched again and headed back inside to check on Yugi.
Téa stood over Yugi and pressed her hand to his forehead. He was still hot, his breathing was regular, but he looked very pale. She picked up the small cloth, dropped it in the basin full of cold water, rinsed it and placed it gently on his forehead. He didn't stir a muscle; he was apparently in a deep slumber. She could tell he wasn't having another nightmare, his face was serene.
She gently lifted the bed covers to check on his wound. She tentatively reached toward the bandage and jumped when a cold hand clasped on her wrist. She turned her attention to Yugi who had woken up. His amethyst eyes met hers.
"Hi." He said softly. His hand moved from her wrist to her hand.
"Yugi, you're awake!" Téa replied gratefully. She was glad to know he was still alive.
He smiled at her but it quickly wavered into a painful scowl as he tried to sit up.
"Yugi, don't! Let me help you." Téa said as she helped him sit up.
"Thank you." He replied.
Their faces were inches apart. He could feel her hot breath on his face. She blushed and quickly moved back, but Yugi grabbed a hold of her hand. His eyes landed on her flushed cheeks, flushed with blood. He was weak from the blood loss and he was hungry. Oh so hungry, starving. He could feel the blood lust on the surface and he wasn't going to be able to contain it. If he didn't feed he was going to die. He had lost too much blood through that wound he had received. He knew it still wasn't healed because it hurt like hell, but he knew the bleeding had stopped.
His eyes wandered from Téa's cheeks to the nape of her neck. He could see her veins underneath her skin, circulating her blood through her body. He could hear her heart beating so clearly, it was all he could focus on.
"Yugi, are you all right?" Téa asked alarmed. Hearing her voice caused Yugi to turn away from her throat and focused on her eyes.
"I'm fine." He replied hoarsely. He closed his eyes and pushed the thought of blood and feeding away from his mind. He knew he didn't have long before the thoughts would return. The blood lust was too strong; he wouldn't be able to control it for long. He had to get out of there, but how to do it without Téa asking him a thousand questions. He knew his powers were very weak, but he had to try. Let's hope this works, he thought to himself.
He sighed deeply. He opened his eyes and bore his gaze into her eyes. He spoke softly, smoothly. "Téa, I have to go."
She opened her mouth to protest, but he continued to talk in the same manner. "I'm fine, see." He stood from the bed and groaned in pain. Téa didn't move to help him, it was working. "Don't worry about me. I'll see you soon." He told her.
Yugi took a few unsteady steps when he finally realized he wasn't wearing a shirt. He glanced around for it but he couldn't locate it. He did find his long coat though and he quickly put it on.
He walked back to Téa and stood beside her. He leaned in to her and placed a soft kiss on her cheek. "Thank you, Téa, for looking after me. When I leave you'll snap out of this trance. I'm sorry I had to do this, but it's for your own safety. I could never forgive myself if I hurt you." He told her. He turned away from her and he added softly. "Again."
He headed out of her apartment and walked out of her building. Just outside of her building he staggered and leaned against the wall for support. He over estimated the extent of blood he had lost and his body didn't want to function anymore. He slid down onto the ground. He wanted to rest, but he shouldn't, his eyes slowly drooped close.
Yugi sensed someone standing over him. His eyes slowly fluttered open to see who stood before him. He looked at them curiously. He cocked his head to the side, not sure if he was seeing what he was seeing.
"It can't be." He whispered in disbelief. His eyes closed shut again and he slumped down onto the ground.
"Ah, but it is me." The figure replied coolly. He picked up the unconscious Yugi off the ground and vanished with him in his arms.
Lady Deadly Nightshade: Ah, another cliffhanger! I love doing those. ^_~ Why didn't Yugi just bite Téa? What did he mean when he wouldn't hurt her again? Where is Yugi's shirt? Who was that at the end of the chapter that took Yugi? Is he friend or foe? How does Yami like his new home? Where is Yami? Why are my dogs so lazy? LOL, all these questions and more will be answered in upcoming chapters, so please stick around. Well maybe not the dog one. ^_~ So please review, no flames! Next update some time in the first days of March, so keep your eyes peeled. Later, everyone! Bye! ^_^
