Chapter 12- Reinforcements & Téa's Decision
It had been a few days since he had woken and he was almost back to his full strength. At the moment he padded barefoot in his plush dark burgundy carpet. His clothes rustled with his movements. He wore black slacks with a long sleeve wine colored shirt. The sleeves of his shirt billowed out and they almost completely covered obscured his hands, only leaving a faint trace of his long pale fingers. He stopped moving and looked toward the door. At that instant there was a knock at the door.
"Enter." He said looking at the door. The door opened and a man dressed in a black suit entered the room.
He bowed when he stood in front of the other man. "Master, we have found you a new recruit." The suited man told him.
"Excellent." The man in the wine colored shirt said. "Take me to him."
The man in the black suit bowed his head. "As you wish, Master." He walked back to the door and opened it. He waited for his Master to pass by him and then he closed the door behind him.
They walked through the hallway until they came upon a stairwell. The stairwell headed toward an underground level of the house. The underground level of the house was split into many small rooms. Amongst the rooms were the Master's sleeping quarters (he was somewhat paranoid to sleep above ground during the day), his many henchmen's sleeping quarters, and a dungeon.
The Master walked down the stairs with his henchmen behind him. They walked through a hallway that had doors on both sides. The Master stopped by a door where classical music could be heard from. He leaned in slightly against the door and stood there silently.
"Master, what is it?" The man in the black suit asked.
"It's nothing." The Master replied and he moved away from the door.
They continued down the hall until they came upon two heavy oak doors. The man in the black suit pushed open the door for his Master. The Master entered the room silently. As soon as he was in the room, his face broke into a sadistic smile. He was standing in his gigantic dungeon, this was his favorite room in the enter house. One side of the dungeon had medium sized jail cells. In the center of the room there were various medieval torture devices. On the other side of the room there were shackles, hooks, and other type of restraints to hold people.
Against that wall hanged a young man. He had black hair and emerald green eyes. The Master smiled in approval. He motioned for the man in the black suit to leave the room. He didn't want an audience.
The boy restrained against the wall watched the man with fear in his eyes. "Why am I here?" The boy asked scared. "What do you want with me?"
The man eyed him and laughed hysterically.
The boy struggled against the chains. He didn't like the way the man laughed and the look in his eyes. "You're nuts!"
In the blink of an eye, the man stood in front of the boy a few inches apart. "You have no idea how correct you are." The man answered. He pulled the boys head to the side and plunged his fangs deep into the boy's neck. The boy screamed out in surprise and pain. The man sent a telepathic message to the boy, "Welcome to my ranks of the undead." He told him.

Téa rummaged through her closet looking for something to wear. She hadn't seen Yami or Yugi, for that matter, since Yami had come by to give her that tough decision. Either let him drink from her to see his memories (possibly becoming a vampire in the process) or die. Well Yami hadn't said he'd kill her but she assumed he would kill her. He might be handsome and charming, but he was still deadly and unpredictable. She still wasn't sure what she was going to tell him, but she knew that she had to see him soon. Vampires might live for all eternity, but she didn't know how patient they were, especially Yami.
She finally found a black skirt to wear, the skirt reached to the top of her knees. She put on a light blue v-neck button up blouse and added a bit of make up to her face. She put on some black platform sandals without socks onto her feet. She grabbed her purse and headed out of her apartment. Her destination was Yami's house.
Téa paid the taxi driver and got out of the cab. She stood in front of Yami's house with her eyes wide. His house was enormous. She stood there having second thoughts, maybe she shouldn't have come. She took a step back as if to leave when the black gate opened by itself. Guess, I'm invited, she thought wryly to herself. She passed though the gate, which closed behind her by itself and walked up the cobble walkway to the front door of the house. As she walked up the porch stairs the door began to open. Téa now completely unnerved by the doors opening without anyone behind them decided it was a bad idea to come to Yami willingly. Just as she turned around to go back down the stairs, she heard his voice.
"Téa, how nice to see you." Hearing his voice caused Téa to freeze in her steps. She turned around to look at him and her breath caught in her throat. He was dressed in a long robe that matched his eyes perfectly. The material of the robe looked very smooth; she assumed it was silk or satin. She wondered if he had anything on underneath that robe.
She looked up at Yami's face and he gave her a suggestive smile. Téa lowered her face as she blushed a deep shade of red. That's when she noticed the black pajama bottoms peeking out from underneath the robe. She also noticed that he was barefoot.
Did he just wake up or did he know I was coming? Téa asked herself mentally.
"I'm afraid you caught me barely getting up from bed." Yami told her, answering the question she never asked aloud.
Téa lifted her gaze from the ground and looked up into his face. "I'm sorry!" She apologized.
He eyed her up and down, taking in her outfit. "No worries," He told her. "Seeing you here and dressed so nicely to see me makes up for it greatly."
Téa blushed again and Yami chuckled softly. He loved getting that reaction out of her, especially since it was him and not vampire tricks that caused her to react like that. "Well, where are my manners? Téa please come in." He told her. He extended his arm out to her. Téa stepped through the threshold and looped her arm through his. They walked in that fashion to the den.
Yami escorted Téa to a couch and gestured for her to sit down. "Make yourself comfortable." He told her. Téa sat on the couch. She removed her jacket and her purse and placed them on the couch's arm.
Yami had turned away from her and headed toward the fireplace. He raised his hand to it and instantly there was a fire roaring in the fireplace. Yami turned slightly toward her.
Téa watched him silently and attentively. Seeing only his profile and with the light from the flames dancing behind him he looked dangerous.
"Téa to what do I owe the pleasure of your company?" Yami asked her.
"I have made my decision." She told him.
Yami turned his face completely to look at her. His expression very blank. "Ah," He said flatly. "What is your choice?"
Lady Deadly Nightshade: Yes I know it was short, but the next chapter is a long one. So I hope I make up for it then.
Next Update: June 6 (But if someone says its short I'll add a week before the next update! Muah haha! Hmmm well maybe, maybe not! I guess you'll have to chance it. ^_^)
