Yami gritted his teeth, and tried not to scream. Bakura stood in the front of the class with some sick grin uncharacteristically stuck on his face, which contributed to Yami's bad mood. Yugi just looked from one to another, not really understanding Yami's anger. But it looked as if they knew each other before...
The class continued its course, and Yugi feared for the worse. Yami's rage was such that his fangs were visible, but no one paid enough attention to him to notice. He caught Yugi's wide-eyed stare and receive a loud /WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!? CALM DOWN!! YOUR FANGS!!/ to increase his headache, but he did hide his fangs. At least it was History class... nothing beside paperballs was harmful in the class, and Yami was too much of a mature vampire to try and do anything like that.
The next period was, thankfully, English. Yugi liked the subject because he liked the language and had a very good affinity with it, being able to write long compositions and even good poetry at times. Fortunately, that was exactly what the teacher asked them to do.
Bakura's poem surprised everybody.
"'I stand under the
moonlight
Staring out at you
Forgetting all my pride
And wondering what do to
Maroon covered my vision,
And although I feared for the worse
I could only come to one conclusion
It had to be a curse
My life was always lonely
Tears now fell down my face
Watching you brokenly
Knowing completion was not my fate
I closed my eyes
And turned to leave
My love, lying there, told no lies
Happiness I was just not to achieve'"
(A/N: Forgive my poor attempt at poetry... I'm listening to Linkin Park, am sleepy and am just lacking inspiration... OH, and I can't write poetry --U)
For some reason unknown to Yugi, Bakura glared at Yami when he finished his speech, ignoring the shocked, amused and afraid glances the students and the teacher gave him. He simply shrugged when the teacher complemented him, saying he read a story in a book and decided to write about it. Yami narrowed his eyes and looked away when he said that.
The rest of the period went out uneventfully, only with occasional glares and mumbling from Yami or Bakura. Yami looked pissed. Bakura varied between smirks or scowls. Yugi just tried to take some answers from Yami, unsuccessfully.
For some reason, for the next periods, Bakura kept giving Yugi suggestive looks, looking strangely interested in him. Yugi had never seen him before... So probably Bakura and Yami had met before Yugi met the vampire. So why would the other new student stare at him so much? More than once the albino did some signs to him, but often Yami appeared, glared daggers at Bakura, and conduced Yugi away.
"Yami... what is wrong with him??" Yugi had asked, but didn't get an answer. Yami just glared at the nothingness, lost in his own thoughts. Yugi wondered what mysteries lay within the other boy... And he could assure there weren't few of them.
Lunch came, and Yugi and Yami decided to stay away as far as possible from the other students, one reason being Yami hated being around other people, and also because he seeming to clearly be avoiding someone...
Could be either Bakura or Anzu, Yugi was not sure.
They sat under an old willow tree in the yard, and Yugi tried by all matters to pretend that Yami wasn't there, sulking over something he did not know about, muttering incoherent things under his breath. It was annoying and frustrating, seeming as Yami was not going to come back into the world of the living (please, note Yugi's sarcasm here) anytime soon.
He tried looking somewhere else, but he was often granted with jealous looks from the other girls around, and boys looking at him oddly. Disgust... jealousy? He couldn't pick one. But he wasn't going to look forward into it.
Suddenly, his sight met someone who couldn't be simply ignored as the other ones... Anzu. He raised an eyebrow, wondering what was she doing, walking timidly towards he and the zoned out vampire. Maybe Yami's plan wasn't as efficient as they thought it was...
While Anzu made her way to them, however, something else caught Yugi's sight, and everything about the other students looked irrelevant. Bakura leaned against another tree near them, and Yugi had to almost turn completely around to actually see him, seeming as their back was to him. He was looking directly at Yugi... and narrowed his eyes when their gazes met.
'He's up to something... but what?' Yugi thought. He didn't have time to contemplate anything else though.
"Hmm... hi?" a timid voice called, and both look-alike beings gazed at the nervous girl who now stood in front of them, her hands folded behind her back, blinking rapidly and nervously. "I... I wanted to talk with Yami... hmm... would you... hm mind?" she asked, unclearly sending the question to either Yami or Yugi.
They both stood up. Out of the corner of his eye, Yugi saw Bakura disappear from vision. How could he be so fast? Not soon after he saw some brief sight of white... pretty near him.
What...?
"Yes?" Yami asked somewhat politely, considering the stupor he was in. Why hadn't he ignored her in the first place was something he was never going to be able to answer.... but maybe he just wanted to get rid of her for once and for all.
"I... wanted to.. hmm... that... what happened in the corridor..." her voice became more distant as Yami slowly began to realize something...
Where was Yugi?
He didn't care about politeness or about embarrassing the girl in front of him as he simply turned off her voice and began to look around. He was nowhere around... He couldn't think of anywhere Yugi could have gone... Unless...
His eyes widened. He turned to Anzu.
"Look, I'm sorry, but I have to go." He said, more harshly than he had intended to. Not that he cared anyway. He walked away and left the girl there, blinking and blushing. He looked left and right, ignoring the stares of everyone.
Where was he??
~^:^~
"Do you know Yami?" Yugi asked the first question that came to mind, facing Bakura in the deserted gym. It seemed as if the boy wanted to talk to him in real privation, and that included breaking the lock to the gym's room. He could add to the list of Bakura's mysteries, beside the ability of breaking locks with extreme grace, the fact that he ran through some halls faster than any human could.
"Yes." His answer definitely cleared one of Yugi's suppositions.
"From where?" He asked, looking everywhere but at Bakura's face, completely missing his grin.
"Oh... It was a long time ago, it doesn't really matter does it?" he asked, and Yugi narrowed his eyes. It did matter... Anything that involved Yami mattered to Yugi. As many years that they have passed together, Yami's past still remained unknown to Yugi. Knowing things about his past vaguely filled the void Yugi had in his mind from the lack of memories of his past...
"What... happened?" Yugi asked, knowing there was something in the Yami/Bakura story that was just not right. No matter what had happened... He knew something had happened. The reason behind Yami's zoned out state, and the truth behind Bakura's dark poem. Bakura just seemed not affected by the question.
"That's irrelevant right now... The now is exactly what's important." He answered, making Yugi looked at him intrigued.
"What?" he asked, true confusion in his voice. Bakura smirked more. He walked over to Yugi, and stopped really close to him.
"Don't ever wander about what you are Yugi? About anything from your past?" he asked, making Yugi roll his eyes somewhere else than his face. It was a delicate subject. And Bakura seemed to know it. "Don't you contemplate what kind of past Yami has? What he did before he met you? Who he is actually?" he continued, each time pressing on a more personal matter than the other.
"Where are you getting at?" Yugi asked, his voice soundly remarkably like Yami's. As did his eyes, narrowed and threatening. The other, though, was not amused. Instead, his eyes seemed to glow strangely, and he bent down, still standing before Yugi, their noses almost touching.
"I know something about your past and Yami's past that is very valuable for you." He said in a smooth whisper, the glow still there. Yugi seemed interested.
Just then someone burst into the gym, not even panting but pretty much pissed. Yami glared daggers at Bakura, who seemed to smirk even darker than before now that the other one had joined them. Before he could even say anything, Yami spat his words.
"Shut up." Some would call him paranoiac or paranormal had they not known he was a vampire who had sharpened senses. "And get the hell away from Yugi." He continued, eyes narrowed to slits, a blood color. Bakura wasn't fazed.
"I'm glad you joined us, Yami... I was just about to tell your Mate something very, very important..." he said, and Yugi got even more curious when he say Yami's eyes lose their brightness suddenly. A clear sign of his astonishment.
"What...?" apparently, Yami haven't heard what Bakura whispered Yugi, which could be understandable by now. He probably did that on purpose. And he probably knew Yami would find them sooner or later... a thing called "aura search", explaining why he had left the door unlocked.
He turned to Yugi. Outside, the bell rang, indicating the students to go back inside the building and head for the last classes of the day. The three did not move a finger though.
"Your dear Yami, little one... Has killed your parents." He answered, absolutely enjoying the look of shock on both look-alikes' faces. Yami's lost their bright color instantly (a fact that replaced the skin paling fact) and Yugi's just seemed unfocused and wide.
He walked away silently, and when he was just beside Yami, he whispered "Good luck with your Mate...", and then he walked away from view.
".... WHAT?!" Yugi shrieked, and Yami shut his eyes. He couldn't believe in it... He knew what was about to come.
[ To be continued... ]
Iris: What's so fun in ending the chapters with Yugi saying "What?!"?
Lily: *shrugs* Dun know, but it makes a good cliffhanger ^^
Iris: --U
Lily: Anyway... please don't forget to review, right? It may sound a bit fast, but trust me... That's just the beginning. Seeing how I changed the category of this fic, you can try to guess what's about to come --U
Iris: Also, since Lily has read some vampire fics, she has new ideas for this fic... She's planning a pretty good plot for yez, trust us ^^
Lily: Yeah, but as always, there's the major lack of fluff.... People are going to kill me...
Iris: You should try to get fluff somewhere in the middle of it...
Lily: --U I'll try... Can't guarantee anything though... *sighs* See ya later fellows! *waves*
