Sorry it took a while to get up chapter 2. I try to do one a week but it
gets hard when homework is involved. -_-
Thanks to those who reviewed! I *sob* am thankful.
Chapter 2
"Why hasn't Master Yami returned yet?" Magician of Faith asked in a worried tone.
"Don't worry yet," Dark Magician Girl reassured her, "He'll come back soon."
--
Kaiba nervously shuffled around the dark castle. Why he was nervous, he didn't know. Why he was shuffling, he wasn't sure. It wasn't like others hadn't stumbled into his citadel before. He had banished all the others away. So then, why not Yami? He shook his head for a moment and sighed. 'As soon as he is healed, he'll be out of here.'
Another's voice shook his from his thoughts. "Dear Lord, whatever is the matter?"
Kaiba turned to see once again Water Omotics, the same jar tucked under her arm. "There is nothing wrong. Why do you ask?"
A small smile came to her lips but in an instant, it was gone. "Never mind. Well, I have come to tell you that your guest has awakened. He said he would like to speak with you. He is ever curious about whoever it was that saved him."
"Well, tell him that I can't talk to him right now. I- have things to do."
"Yes, my Lord." Water Omotics bowed before cautiously asking, "do you like him Lord?"
"Like him? What ever do you mean?" he asked though he already knew.
She sighed. "I mean nothing Lord. I shall go inform the guest of your decision. Farewell." She bowed and left. As her steps echoed through the castle she couldn't help but wonder: Who exactly was this mysterious guest?
When she reached his chamber door, she quietly opened it and walked in. The figure inside appeared to still be sleeping. She walked over to the bed and lit the candle that sat on a small table next to it. "What?!" The person who had once slept here was gone! She quickly tilted the jar in her arms allowing water to trickle from it onto the ground. As she did this, she began to chant causing the water to glow a deep shade of lavender. The water levitated into the air and began to form something- a dragon. When the magic had done its job, a large dragon sat in the room. "Kumouri Dragon! Go and find the person who slept here! Now!"
The dragon rushed out of the room in an instant and was gone to do its job. Water Omotics was not in the mood for playing hide-and-go-seek with the strange person. Her mind was naturally thinking the worst.
Elsewhere, Yami staggered through the large, dark castle slowly. He wasn't even very sure where he was going. His mind was a jumble, his thoughts a mess. His legs were killing him. They had been the most damaged from both the walk to wherever he was going and the fall. That was another thing: Where exactly was he? He hadn't the slightest idea.
At one point, his knees failed him and he stumbled and would've fallen- had not something reached out and grabbed his arms, supporting him. He shook his head, his golden bangs waving slowly, and looked up. "K-Kaiba?"
Kaiba was glowering. "Yami, what are you doing out of your room! You're still seriously injured!" It was clear he was not happy.
Yami backed away quickly, but only succeeded in tripping and falling. Whatever had caused each of them to be kind the previous evening was gone. They were back to their real personalities. "Kaiba, I don't need to be babied! I have to go back home. There are people who are worrying about me."
Another voice cut in. "There are people who are worrying about you here!" Both guys turned to see Water Omotics. She continued, "Can't you see that?" She was speaking to Yami, who only seemed to look unbelievingly at her.
The Kumouri Dragon had long been in the room and was patiently waiting behind Kaiba.
Water Omotics only sighed. "Kumouri Dragon, return. There is nothing left to do here."
Not even a second went by and the dragon disappeared, changing into harmless water on the floor. Yami looked from the water back up to the girl, who had also vanished.
"Listen Yami," Kaiba said, "you can't just go wandering around like this." He walked over to Yami and scooped him up into his arms, surprising him, and started to walk down the hallway.
Yami didn't know what to say. He was too tired to struggle, and the strange thing was, he felt safe in Kaiba's arms. He barely even knew him at all. Maybe he would try and get to know him better later.
Kaiba reached Yami's temporary room and carefully laid him back in his bed. "Yami, please stay in here until you are better healed. If you are feeling up to it tomorrow, I will take the liberty of having someone show you around the place."
Yami frowned, "Can you? I don't know anyone else."
Kaiba only sighed. "Fine, I will, but only if you promise to stay in here for the remainder of this day."
"Alright then, I promise."
Kaiba turned and left, closing the door as he did so.
--
The next day:
All the magicians had started to worry. Even Magician of Black Chaos, despite his good ability to hide it. Sure, most of the time he disliked his Master, but Yami was still kind to him so he respected him.
Dark Magician was the most worried out of everyone. Yami was his Master as well as his friend. Where could he be?
--
~*~
"Kaiba, I hate you. When will you learn? The humane feeling of love is not necessary in someone like you. You're too much of a softie so, until you learn to change your ways, no more food. Now, do you understand?"
"Yes, Sir."
~*~
Kaiba slowly opened his eyes and yawned. Today was going to be a long day. First off, he would eat, second, he would take a walk down to the Valley, and third, he would show Yami around. Yep, he had it all planned out.
Suddenly there was a knock at his door.
Kaiba groaned and sat up. "Come in."
The door opened and in rushed Dragoness. "Lord Kaiba, it's your guest!"
Kaiba immediately straightened up. "Yami? What's happened?"
"Well, he is-, uh, he's playing with the dragons!"
Kaiba was clueless. "Playing? What do you mean playing?"
"I mean just that! There's a One-Eyed Shield Dragon and a Dragon Zombie and I think they're hiding from Yami!"
"Wait a minute. Are you telling me that Yami is playing hide-and-go- freaking-seek with the dragons?"
"Um, yes Lord."
"Oh my god," he got out of bed and grabbed his royal blue cape, hastily wrapping it around his shoulders. "Dragoness, please go inform Water Omotics of this and tell her to go restrain the dragons, now."
"As you wish Lord Kaiba." She bowed quickly then left.
Kaiba was not in the mood for games today. He quickly sauntered down the hall and into Yami's room.
Inside, Yami was sitting patiently talking to the One-Eyed Shield Dragon. Yami looked up as soon as he heard Kaiba enter. "Good morning Kaiba."
Kaiba only heaved a sigh. "Yami, dragons cannot talk."
"I know. But they can listen."
"Who told you that?"
"My father did. He said that dragons are just like any other living thing. They have feelings as well."
"That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. One Eye, go back to the Valley."
The dragon nodded, but before it left nudged Yami's shoulder and in return received a pat on its head. After that, it left.
Yami sighed, "Wow, you really are harsh. Who are you anyways?"
"I told you already. I'm Seto Kaiba. What more do you want to know?"
"Well, I'm just wondering why you have all these dragons."
Kaiba laughed for a moment. It wasn't really a nice laugh, more of a 'like you don't know' laugh instead. "I guess I forgot to tell you. I'm the Lord- "
Water Omotics ran in interrupting. "-He's the Lord of 'breakfast time.' Now, both of you come downstairs. Your food is ready."
Yami looked questioningly at her. "Um, I can't exactly- you know- just tromp downstairs."
"I know that. I'm not stupid. Kaiba's going to carry you."
"He is?"
Kaiba stared. "I am?"
Water Omotics sighed. She was running out of patience. "You had no problem carrying him yesterday."
"Tch, yeah, but that was because he had hurt himself."
"So do you just want him to walk down by himself and get hurt even more?"
"No. But-"
"Then carry him!" She left the room fast so as not to be contradicted again. Such arguing like what she had just done with Kaiba was strictly forbidden. Kaiba was her LORD, her Master, and she was not to say such things. But. She knew Kaiba was in a somewhat weak spot and so he wouldn't think twice about it. Besides, her and Kaiba sort of had a 'silent friendship.' They never came out and said they were actually what one would consider 'friends,' but each just sort of knew it.
Kaiba contemplated on what to do. He was not in the mood for carrying Yami all the way to the dining room, but, he really didn't have much of a choice. He walked over to the bed, gathered Yami into his arms, and proceeded to the dining room.
Yami felt terrible. He didn't really want to make Kaiba do this. "You know Kaiba, if you don't want to carry me, that's okay. I could walk."
Kaiba shook his head. "No. You can't. Just don't worry about it."
The rest of the walk was pretty much silence, well, until Yami continued with his questioning. "Kaiba, I still don't understand how I am alive. I should've died." He unconsciously began to fumble with the dark blue tassel that held Kaiba's cape on.
Kaiba pulled Yami's hand away. "You shouldn't worry about that now." They reached the dining hall and Kaiba let Yami down to take a seat at the table. Kaiba took a seat directly across from him, as Water Omotics set their plates down in front of them.
"Well you two, enjoy. I'll leave you guys alone," Water Omotics said and left.
Breakfast was definitely awkward. Neither Yami nor Kaiba really knew why. Things didn't get any better when Yami started in on the questioning again.
"Kaiba, I just wanna know what happened," he said, setting his fork down.
Kaiba set his napkin aside and looked up. "What does it matter? You're alive aren't you?"
"Yes, but who saved me? Someone stopped me from 'hitting rock bottom' shall we say. There's no way I could've fallen off the cliff onto the ground and lived. That much I know. I just want to know who saved my life."
Kaiba slammed the table with his fist sending an echo throughout the room. "Why do you insist on knowing?!"
Yami's expression remained unchanged. "Why do you insist on stopping me? Kaiba, I owe this person, or being, my life. I owe them everything. It's because of them that I am alive and here right now. Why don't you understand that?"
Kaiba stayed silent.
"Kaiba, I really want to know. Why are you so afraid of kindness?" Yami asked.
"I'm not afraid," Kaiba answered gravely.
"How long have you been here alone?"
"I'm not alone. There are others here."
"Yes, but how many of them are human?"
"None! I have lived alone since I was a child, okay?! I have no one here besides myself to rely on! Are you content with making me angry?"
Yami answered simply, "not at all."
"Then what point are you trying to make?!"
"No one has ever -showed- you kindness, have they Kaiba." It was more of a statement than a question.
Kaiba rubbed his forehead with his hand. "Yami, I really don't have time for your games." He suddenly looked up when he heard Yami push his chair out. "Yami, what are you doing?" Yami had gotten up from his chair and was walking around the table. "I told you not to walk around, you're already hurt badly. Don't make it worse."
To Kaiba's surprise, Yami came and stood next to him. "Kaiba, I will do whatever I can while I am here to show you that not everything in this world is bad. There are good things in life too."
Kaiba grinned bitterly, "Yami, I don't think anyone can do that."
Yami frowned. "Come with me."
"Come with you where?" Kaiba was now annoyed.
"To my room."
His glance shot up to Yami's face. "Why on earth do you want to go back there."
"Just come on," he tugged at Kaiba's hand as a child would.
Finally Kaiba gave in. He stood up and glanced at Yami. "Well?"
"I can walk on my own, at least for now."
"Yami-"
"I have to strengthen my legs on my own. Now come on." He led Kaiba all the way back to his chambers and once they were both inside he firmly closed the door.
"Yami, why did you do that?" Kaiba asked. The room was now pitch black with the door closed.
"Um, sorry, wasn't thinking. I can't see where the door is."
"Well, I don't know either. Just move around till you find it."
"Ok. Ouch!" Something in the room was knocked over.
"Yami, forget it. Stay still."
"I can't, I'm almost there."
"Almost where."
"Ummmm, got it." A second later the window was flung open letting in a mixture of light and breeze. The room was now illuminated only by morning daylight giving it a dull-set hue. "Kaiba, will you please come here," he asked.
Kaiba took the few steps it took to get to Yami's side and stopped. "Well, what is it?"
"Do you see all of that?" he asked pointing to the land that went on for miles. "It's all yours."
"I am aware of that."
"Are you really? Are you really, truly sure? Then why has this land gone to waste? You need to show this land the same care you would show any other living thing."
"What the heck do you mean?"
"Well," he said walking so he was in front of Kaiba. "Let's say that we were lovers."
Kaiba froze. "What?"
"It's only an example. It we were lovers, would you let anything happen to me?"
"Are you saying that I'm supposed to treat my land as if it's my lover? Boy, you really are crazy."
"Kaiba," his tone was firm and serious, "would you let anything happen to me?"
"Well, um, I'm not sure. I'd have to be put in the situation." He rolled his eyes.
"Alright then."
"Alright then what?"
"We'll become lovers, so that I may test my theory."
Kaiba was speechless. He had to be joking.
Right?
Yami broke into a smile. "Kaiba, I think that's the most surprised I've seen you since I've stayed here. Yes, I am only joking. You really shouldn't take things so seriously."
Kaiba was ready to kill him.
The next thing Yami knew he was being pinned to the wall by Kaiba's strong arms. "Yami, do not mess around like that. We don't have time to be playing 'cutesy tootsie' around here."
Yami forced a smile, "So you think I'm cute?"
"Are you ever serious?! I am trying to help you and you just keep messing around! I'm beginning to wonder if you have lost your mind as a result of the fall or something! You don't seem to notice the severeness of-"
Kaiba stopped. He had been silenced by Yami's lips pressed softly against his. The kiss lingered for a moment before Yami pulled back and smiled gently. "I had to get you to be quiet somehow." Kaiba couldn't take it. He leaned in to kiss Yami once more but Yami's legs failed him once again and he fell. Thankfully Kaiba caught him just in time.
"Yami," He said sitting him on the bed, "Get your clothes changed." He pointed to a pile of clean clothes on the bed. "There's a town nearby, I'll show you around it. I'll be waiting downstairs," Kaiba said, then left.
Outside, Water Omotics frowned as she watched Kaiba glide down the stairs. She quietly walked to Yami's room and as she closed his door whispered, "I'll do everything I can to stop Lord Kaiba from finding out who you really are."
---TBC---
Yey, one more chapter up. I'm glad. Please review. It makes me happy and helps me out. I know at times Yami may seem a bit, I don't know, floaty maybe? Oh well. Also, when Yami kissed Kaiba he really was just trying to shut him up---or was he? *evil smirk*
AND---He DOESN'T know that Kaiba is the Lord of Dragons! He has no friggin clue. He just thinks he woke up in some random place or something. His legs aren't paralyzed or anything. O.o. They're just badly hurt from being cut and all on the rocks. 'Member?
===Next chapter: Kaiba and Yami go to town. But---what will happen when someone notices Yami and even worse---who he's with?
The next chap will be up soon! Some time next week for sure! I like how this story is coming along!
Thanks 4 reading!

"Are you ever serious?! I am trying to help you and you just keep messing around! I'm beginning to wonder if you have lost your mind as a result of the fall or something! You don't seem to notice the severeness of-"
Kaiba stopped. He had been silenced by Yami's lips pressed softly against his. The kiss lingered for a moment before Yami pulled back and smiled gently. "I had to get you to be quiet somehow." Kaiba couldn't take it. He leaned in to kiss Yami once more but Yami's legs failed him once again and he fell. Thankfully Kaiba caught him just in time.
"Yami," He said sitting him on the bed, "Get your clothes changed." He pointed to a pile of clean clothes on the bed. "There's a town nearby, I'll show you around it. I'll be waiting downstairs," Kaiba said, then left.
Outside, Water Omotics frowned as she watched Kaiba glide down the stairs. She quietly walked to Yami's room and as she closed his door whispered, "I'll do everything I can to stop Lord Kaiba from finding out who you really are."
---TBC---
Yey, one more chapter up. I'm glad. Please review. It makes me happy and helps me out. I know at times Yami may seem a bit, I don't know, floaty maybe? Oh well. Also, when Yami kissed Kaiba he really was just trying to shut him up---or was he? *evil smirk*
AND---He DOESN'T know that Kaiba is the Lord of Dragons! He has no friggin clue. He just thinks he woke up in some random place or something. His legs aren't paralyzed or anything. O.o. They're just badly hurt from being cut and all on the rocks. 'Member?
===Next chapter: Kaiba and Yami go to town. But---what will happen when someone notices Yami and even worse---who he's with?
The next chap will be up soon! Some time next week for sure! I like how this story is coming along!
Thanks 4 reading!
