".... WHAT?!" Yugi all-but-yelled incredulously. Yami had his eyes shut and his face was bent down. Yugi's breaths were uneven now. "It's a lie... isn't it? Bakura is nothing but a big liar, isn't it, Yami?" he asked, hopeful and shaking.
Yami continued to keep his eyes shut, unable to answer Yugi's question, cursing Bakura in so many languages in his mind that it was almost getting difficult to keep it from Yugi. It was not the time to tell Yugi that... Not now, not like this, not there...
Tears fell down Yugi's face, while he still kept trying to convince himself without Yami's assuring reply that Bakura was lying. But he couldn't know... Everything from before the day he met Yami was apparently erased from his memory somehow... He couldn't remember his house, his childhood, his parents... All he could remember was Yami, and the fact that he was an orphan. But he had always wondered...
Although this was not what he expected...
"Yami..." he whispered, walking slowly towards the other one, and making him look at his face, the vision of the two unfocused crimson eyes slightly blurry due of his tears. "It's not true... is it?" he asked, and Yami closed his eyes only to open them slowly, taking a deep breath.
"It's true..." he said and Yugi's already wide eyes widened even more. He hiccuped and backed away. Yami shut his eyes tightly again, refusing to cry. He couldn't cry... He doubted he even had tears. But the guilt... it was enough to tear his soul apart.
Ha... a vampire with soul.... Call it pathetic, but it was the truth.
"Why..." Yugi breathed out. "Why... why haven't you told me?" he continued, getting louder and louder. Fury was building within him from Yami's negligence about that one fact. He knew he just hadn't forgotten to tell him... "How could you do this to me?!" he yelled now and led his hands to his head, holding it painfully.
Yami, in his spot, widened his eyes as unbearable burning and an impossible cold began to hurt him at the same time inside. His soul seemed to be hurting so much it was obvious guilt was not the only one responsible, and his vision was beginning to get cloudy and blurred, every little bit of consciousness trying to leave him.
"Yugi..." he tried to call out and the teen looked up before running away, opening the doors loudly, leaving Yami alone. Soon Yami's bad state was gone and he got up quickly, running outside the gym, searching for Yugi.
Just as he got out of the gym, he found himself face to face with a wide-eyed teacher, confused about what he was doing inside, and Yami vaguely could make out the sound of footsteps coming in their direction. He had to be quick...
"You will inform the other teachers that Yugi Mutou and Yami Awaikage had to suddenly go because of an emergency." He told the teacher, whose eyes now were blankly staring at him, a clear sign of his magic charm. He began running as fast as he could, students and teachers not being able to lay their eyes on him not even if they paid close attention.
He stopped at the locked main gate as he saw Yugi gracefully jump out, landing like a cat on the pavement outside. He looked up when he heard Yami calling out his name, but when they made eye contact Yami felt himself being thrown backwards and hitting a nearby tree. At the same time, he felt something effectively taking his senses. He was out-cold.
Yugi took the painful opportunity to run away, knowing that Yami would wake up soon... A part of him hoping he would, another hoping he wouldn't, even though he couldn't deny he was concerned about the vampire. Had he unconsciously hurt the vampire? Of course he did. How else would he fly like that and black out so easily?
Why was a better question. Or how.
He closed his eyes, in an unsuccessful attempt to stop his tears. Worse than hurt, he felt betrayed by Yami... The only person he thought he knew. He thought he loved and thought that was, somehow, loved back...
So, basically now, the truth was that he was nothing more than Yami's puppet? A toy, or something along those stupid lines? A Mate was what Bakura called him... Yami's Mate. One was that he couldn't understand it, also he didn't think it was true. Mate... Yami's Mate...
Improbable. Impossible. Incomprehensible.
It didn't matter though. Whatever they were, it was over now. He couldn't live, he couldn't love his parents' murderer. The one he had wondered so many times the identity and had sworn to kill, in the most insane fantasies... The one he promised himself he would make pay, somehow, for the crime he committed...
How many times had he asked Yami about the identity of the murderer of his family? How many times had he asked Yami how he had found him, only to get the answer 'Fate showed you to me...'
How far did Yami's cynicism go?
Everything suddenly became a nightmare.
'Nightmare... wait...' Yugi stopped, finding himself alone in the always-dark street where his and Yami's apartment was located. His mind tired to grasp the contents of his last dream... He remembered...
He opened his eyes. He remembered now. His dream contained fragments of that night... The night his parents were murdered. Why couldn't he remember it before? Stupid minds that block dreams constantly... Now he had a headache to add to the list of his problems.
In his dream, he remembered, not everything, of what happened that night... He didn't remember how his parents were killed or what was happening before... He just remembered Yami, two corpses in the background, and how he was almost killed too... But the vampire hesitated.
Yugi absent-mindedly touched his neck as he opened the door, walking to the elevator and pushing the button that led him to the last floor. Something stopped Yami that night... His blood had stopped Yami.
"Don't ever wonder about what you are Yugi? About anything from your past?"
Bakura's words were still vivid in his mind. What he was...? Who was he? He didn't know. But maybe if he asked Yami...
'NO!' he screamed in his mind, leaning against the door and sliding slowly towards the floor, tears once again threatening to fall. 'All he says is lies... All lies... I won't trust a word he says ever again!' he said, the painful feeling of being used filling his mind with pure hatred against the only one he had known as far as he could remember.
He would not stand it anymore. He was going away.
~^:^~
Yami opened his eyes suddenly, sitting up quickly. He could vaguely feel his powers coming back to him by the seconds, but his head was still spinning. His mind was a mess. It was like... like it was invaded...
He looked around, slowly remembering the facts that happened before he blacked out. He cursed. He was trying to follow Yugi, but he was knocked out by some kind of force...
Wait. It was not an unknown force... He had felt it before. About 100 years ago...
'Yugi.' He thought, narrowing his eyes. He had used that great amount of power upon Yami, knocking his body out and even messing up his mind. 'What are you...?' and, with that last thought, he got up and ran where he could sense his Mate. All the while thinking on what to do or when they would meet.
