Chapter 8: The club
//
"You'll be lucky if you can survive that without going to the hospital." and with that, she walked to the student parking lot, probably to pick up her motorcycle. As she passed some people cheered, some people scowled and yelled obscenities (mostly the fan club of girls that followed Kaiba from a distance). Most of them though, just stared at her. And, as Yuugi looked more carefully at her as she gathered her things, he could tell her adrenaline was running on high as she carefully controlled her breathing, but that's not what he stared at. For the faintest of minutes, Yuugi was positive he saw a glow surrounding Rofaic. A red glow, mixed with swirls of a pale, icy blue, and, looking at Kaiba's stomach as the CEO stood in a very painful looking manner, his stomach had an imprint that looked like the width of Dragonis-san's leg, and it was burned there, wild blemishes making boils on the skin. But, mixed throughout the burns were spots of a deep blueish purple, sometimes darkening to a sickly, dead black, as if frozen………
//
Yuugi heard the motorcycle take off down the road, and less than a minutes later, an ambulance came and picked up Kaiba, who looked like he had cone into shock. Turning, after he made sure that the older Kaiba brother was safely inside the medicinal vehicle, because that was just the frighteningly nice way the tri-colored haired boy was, then, and only then, did Yuugi follow his friends on their normal walk home.
The hikari, in truth, was extremely baffled. What had just happened to Kaiba? Obviously the CEO had gotten into a fight, but when Rofaic kicked him? What in the world……what had she done to him exactly….?
-2 hours later-
Sitting at the kitchen table, Yuugi did his homework, television on channel 217 for his favorite show, when suddenly, a female voice came on,
"Excuse me ladies and gentlemen. We have a late-breaking report on the fire and ice epidemic. I'm here, on scene, at Domino City General Hospita, where multi-billionaire CEO Seto Kaiba has been rushed because of injuries sustained directly after school hours to his lower abdominal area. The 17-year-old has three broken ribs, but that isn't the topic of interest today. Along with internal injuries, Mr. Kaiba has also suffered some external ones as well. The length of his lower abdomen, where the 3 ribs were broken, there is about a six inch wide strip of flesh that seems to have been burned off by about three layers. But, even that's not the strangest part. In spots throughout the burn, there were patches of what doctors diagnosed as actual frostbite! Mr. Kaiba, however, will give no information as to who inflicted these injuries, and nor will any statement be released at this time. Sorry for the inconvenience, and now, back to your regularly scheduled program." Before Yuugi even had time to react, the phone rang, momentarily jolting him from the shocking news. Picking up the receiver, he answered,
"Moshi moshi."
"Hey Yug! Me, Honda, Ryou, and Mai were wondering if you wanted to go to Demon's with us around 8, it being a holiday night with no school tomorrow and all." That's right! Yuugi had forgotten; there were parent teacher conferences, so there were no classes in the high school. Why not? The last time Jou and Honda went to Demon's Hell, he had skipped. What excuse did he have now?
"Alright Jou. I'll go with you guys. I've really no reason not to; most of my homework is done, save half of my math." he replied after a second.
"Great! We'll be by your house around quarter to 8?" asked the blonde. You could practically hear the smile in his friend's voice. Yuugi agreed and hung up. Finishing the last two math problems he had to do in an easy half hour, (they were advanced trig), he went upstairs, popping a random CD in the player and cranking it up.
As Disturbed© came on over the loudspeakers, he dressed for the club……
-2 hours 20 minutes anon-
Yuugi looked at himself in the mirror. Not bad I suppose, he thought.
//I'd say you did *quite* well, aibou.//
The comment made the pale boy blush a blazing pink. Yami appeared behind Yuugi and looked at his light appreciatively. Yuugi wore a tight dark violet leather tank top with two strips "ripped" off of the abdomen and upper torso, giving the hikari an unkempt look and accentuating his light violet eyes. Tight leather pants hung low on slim hips, clinging to every subtle, tantalizingly perfect curve it met on Yuugi's legs. The puzzle hung around Yuugi's neck on a new chain that was gold in color with the same tough links as the silver one, resting just above the boy's exposed naval. A dark violet leather buckle that matched his shirt was fastened around Yuugi's neck, and two black ones were fastened just below each shoulder, bringing attention to lightly toned arms. His hair had donned gel, making the gold bangs that framed his face almost curl into ringlets it was so wavy, which accentuated the gentle curves of the small one's face. Thick black eyeliner in a design that made Yami think of his ancient Egyptian home framed violet orbs, making them stand out more against pallid features. Silver glitter completed the ensemble, making the hikari shimmer lightly in a sort of spectral light. Needless to say, by the time Yami was done assessing his other half, he found it quite difficult to breathe.
Twenty five minutes later, a car horn beeped outside, and Yuugi and Yami were off……
-5 more minutes-
Getting out of the car after Honda parked, Yuugi saw the outfits the rest of them were wearing, and he decided that compared to his friends, his outfit was modest.
Mai wore a short black pleather skirt that stopped less than halfway between her knee and waist, showing off the tops of her black fishnets and spiked leather garters. Her spike-heel shoes were studded around the ankle strap with silver spikes about an inch and a half long, and they made her about 5" taller than normal. Her black and purple pleather corset-like shirt laced up some of the way and was held up by two thin spaghetti straps, showing off more cleavage than usual, lacing up with thin black chords. A leather collar with a purple butterfly in the middle was snapped around her neck; the butterfly was a dark purple, edged in black and edged with black spikes. Her hair was bone straight, instead of its normal wave, and it was pulled up in a bun with spikes sticking out that were about 3 inches long each. Her hair had also donned a few light lilac colored streaks that made it quite interesting to look at. Her make up was different today; blood red lipstick and thick black lip liner on her mouth, and on her eyes was thick purple shadow and dark purple liner, bringing out her eyes [1]. To top off the ensemble, she had a knee length black cape on that made her look downright scary.
Jou wore something even more outrageous, in Yuugi's understated opinion. Starting at the bottom, Jou wore platform boots, but they were miss-matched; the heels were the same height, but one was a black combat boot while one was a red leather low top shoe with a purple platform. His pants were black leather; one side was full length and very baggy, dragging on the ground over the combat boot while the other side was tight to his slim thigh and ripped off just above his knee, showing off imperfect fishnets. His shirt was skimpy blood red leather, one side a tank top while the other was a very low cut that missed his shoulder and showed off a large expanse of pale skin. Over that was a leather strap that went around his body just below his under arms and connected to a silver ring in the front. Also ranging from that were two straps that went up and over his shoulders, connecting to a ring that was hooked on the back of his pants, and a third strip in the center of the last two connected to a spiked leather collar around the blonde's neck. In the center of the collar was a silver hoop that was connected to a silver chain, almost what one could call a dog collar and leash (A/N: ^_^) On the arm that didn't have the tank top strap over it, there was a black leather arm-warmer that spanned from his wrist to just a few inches above his elbow, and on it were places that had been ripped/cut and then stitched with silver X's to hold them closed. There was also a silver handcuff around that wrist that had a chain dangling from it that seemed to have been broken off of the other cuff, which circled Jou's other wrist, going over the imperfect fishnetting that served as a sleeve for that arm. Now, back to the shirt. The red leather had two holes in it, and each one had three thick silver safety pins "closing" the hole so that the shirt was still wearable. Down the center diagonally from the top right to the lower left was a row of black stitching that really served no purpose, besides dividing the shirt in half. In purple lettering, there were two words scribbled in what almost looked like marker. In the left hand corner, near the shoulder below the tank top strap was the word "Love", written diagonally along the stitching, and on the bottom right hand corner underneath and parallel to the stitching was "Fuck". In affect, the message the shirt gave off to Yuugi was "Fuck Love". The blonde's normally messy hair was combed down and gelled straight, spiking at the bottom and at the top covered by what Yuugi could only describe as a black "police hat" with a silvery gray rim. On it, scribbled in red lettering the same style as on his shirt, it read "Fuck Toy", and the brim was lined with six metallic red spikes across the front, and that sat at an angle to the right. A few spikes of blonde hair were fixed across his left eye, partially obscuring it from view; these spikes were tipped in black. The eye that was partially covered had red eye shadow lining the lid darkly, giving the effect of bloodshot/crying eyes, while the other one was lined darkly in black eyeliner and shadowed heavily with blue/black, making that eye seem dark and haunted. All in all, Jou looked outrageously freaky [2].
It seemed that even Ryou had a remarkably showy outfit on; no doubt picked out by Bakura. The albino boy had on a black and white boot on his left foot and a white and purple boot on the other, each with a two inch heel. He had a black leather belt that was hooked to two bondage strips lined with spikes. Those went down his legs and over the dark green jeans he had on and connected with two gray bells which fell from his knees to the ground, almost completely covering the boots. In the center of the belt was an outsized silver skull, etched in black with crossbones behind it. A black wrap came around the front in a "skirt" looking piece that was held open in the front and edged in red silk. The other hikari's tight mid-rift showed from underneath the translucent black shirt he wore. It was a t-shirt, and zigzagging back and forth across it were silver stitches, which held it together, because there was a monstrous rip running through it. There was a coat over the shirt though; it was black on one side until it came to the left sleeve, which was black and white striped, and the entire thing was edged in purple, and studded with gold colored spikes. Three purple leather straps held it closed loosely, and they were also lined in gold spikes that were about 2 inches long. A black tie hung loosely around his slim neck, and Yuugi noticed that there was also a black glove on his left arm underneath the coat. Ryou's hair was slightly different also; instead of it being it's normal down and white, it was spiked in the front and dyed purple with dark green streaks. The back was pulled up into a high ponytail, which also was spiked at the ends and the spikes were streaked purple and green. On top was a black caddy hat, which almost seemed too big for the albino. Drawn on his face with black and green eyeliner were swirls that came off of his heavily accentuated eyes, and there was evidence of purple shadow above his eyes. Lastly, to top off this highly……different outfit, were 3 gold earrings that were huge hoops in one of his ears. Ryou looked just about as freeked up as Jou, and for the normally shy and quiet boy, this was quite a change. [3].
Possibly the most restrained of all 4 of them was Honda. Surprisingly, his outfit wasn't completely brown! (A/N: Sorry, couldn't resist; it's like, all he ever wears!) In fact, it was mostly army green. He was also wearing matching shoes! (A/N: ^_^) They were army green colored boots with paler heels that were about an inch high. His pants were army green jeans with bells at the bottom that striped cranberry red, covering most of his boots. There was a hole in his left knee, and on the right there was a dirty white patch that covered what was probably a hole at one point. There was a purple patch on his left leg above the hole, and on the right, up higher than the white patch, was a salmon pink strip that was probably, you guessed it, another patch. His belt was black leather with a silver pocket watch hanging off of the left side, not really doing anything but "enhancing the look", as Honda put it when Yuugi asked. His shirt which showed about two inches of his midriff, was mostly army green in color, but his left sleeve changed completely, as if at one time having been like the low cut side of Jou's shirt, and instead, a black and white striped sleeve, which went to the elbow and "ripped" off, the frayed part about 2 inches at the end of the sleeve. The other sleeve was army green, and it went full length down his arm and belled out, obscuring his right hand from view. Starting on his left over and down slightly from his under arm were 3 strips of black leather. The top one went over his shoulder and around the back, hooking back on a silver loop that connected to his shirt opposite the one on the front, the middle one went over his right arm, hooking in the same place, and the bottom one went in a straight line around him, omitting his arm and going tight against his body. He also had a black spike collar around his neck and it had a chain coming off of it with a loop at the end; kind of the opposite of Jouno's [4]. His hair was up in it's normal style; the only difference was that on his head was a green "police hat", again like Jou's, only no spikes and it's rimmed in……BROWN. (A/N: Well, he had to have something brown on him for god's sake!! ^_^ He wouldn't be Honda without it! ^_^) Topping it off was a pair of round black sunglasses, which obscured his eyes quite well. Like Yuugi thought, he was definitely the most normal looking of the group. [5]
Walking up to the club, the first thing Yuugi did was see the flashing orange fire and the black lettering which glared out at the streets, reading "Demon's Hell"; the last "l" on the word "Hell" was like a pointed tail and underlined the club name. The second thing he did was groan at the line; it went out the door and wrapped around the building. How in the world were they going to get in there?! Then, Jou surprised Yuugi. He went up to one of the bouncers and handed him something. He took it, looked at Jou, and then smiled and moved to the side, opening the red velvet rope with a flare as they entered the club.
The first three things Yuugi smelled when they entered were sweat, sex, and alcohol. The mass of bodies under the black light writhed to the beat, bumping and grinding in an endlessly hypnotic rhythm, all in time with the song playing, which Yuugi identified as Disturbed's "Meaning of Life" [6]. Twisting and turning, they made it to one of the corners of the club, where there was mostly no one sitting unless they were making out in the shadows…or doing more…Yuugi blushed and averted his eyes. Jou went to the bar and grabbed ……something. It looked like a set of test tube beakers in a wooden holder. There was neon colored liquid in each one; some yellow, some orange, some pink, some green, and some blue. Jou picked one up, holding it out to Honda, and one to Mai, and then, took a yellow one and said,
"These're chem shots Yug. Dun take too many though; they dun feel like much more than water…….for 'bout 20 minutes. Then, it'll have ya fallin' on yur ass and pukin' yur brains out. Trus' me. I know from experience." Then, he downed it in a mouthful. Picking up a green one, Yuugi looked at it for a second. It was kind of thick, but still a drink. Swirling it around, he thought, What harm could one do?
//Be careful aibou. You're not supposed to drink at all you know.//
/I know Yami. I'll only drink one or two./
//Alright aibou. That's fine.//
Then, with his dark half's consent, he downed the entire thing in a gulp………
-1 hour, 15 chem shots later-
Yuugi was looking around at the bar with a slightly high look on his face. The neon strobe lights were making pretty designs on the walls, and it sure was fun floating up here. Where is here, anyway? Those things look pretty too, thought Yuugi, reaching for another shot. After several unsuccessful tries, he retrieved one of the three pink ones that he saw. Staring at it for a second, he downed the mouthful of liquid quickly, spilling not a drop despite his "drunken" (A/N: No pun intended ^_^) state.
//Aibou, are you alright?//
/Huh? Heeeeellllloooooooo??? ::mental giggle::/
//Aibou?//
/What's an aibou? ::mental giggle::/
//-_-' I'm coming out Aibou. You're too intoxicated to form coherent thoughts.//
/Lookey all the pretty colors……/
Yami took control of the body from the inebriated boy. Looking around, he saw through the dark of the club with ease, which isn't surprising, because he's a creature of the night himself. Scanning the room, he found no one of real coherency besides the bar tender, the bouncers, and no more than 12 people, and that was stretching it. Standing up, his intent was on stretching, because this body had developed a cramp from sitting in one place for so long. When he stood though, he saw a flash of violet colored hair. Intrigued, he stood up on his toes and saw over the heads of the people there. It was, surprisingly, Dragonis-san. Yami was going to sit back down, uninterested, when he saw someone dragging the pale girl into the unisex bathroom. Now, this didn't register as morally correct to Yami, and so, he stood and made his way over, intent on finding out what was up.
Twisting through the writhing mass of bodies, he was groped more than once, and every single time, he smacked the hand doing it hard enough to bruise, saying "Get the hell off" without ever opening his mouth. Finally making it over to the other side of the room without killing anyone, he entered the bathroom. He was now in a black upholstered waiting/common room, and he was about to go through the other door, when he heard voices. Standing behind the black vented door, he kept his breathing low, he stood to the side, listening.
"I don't care you stupid little wuss-bitch. You're going to go and win that prize no matter what."
"But, Ro. My leg. It's-."
"I don't give a flying fuck about your goddamn leg, and if you don't stop telling me that you think it's messed up, then I'll mess it up myself."
"No, don't do that. I-I'll-"
"Then you know what? Stop being a little bitch-baby and win that goddamn prize."
"You don't understand Ro. Kori and Hi-."
"Like I said, I don't give a flying fuck. You're going to go up there and win that $100 prize so that I can buy a new pair of jeans. You got it. Don't fuck with me; five against one are not good odds."
"But really. I mean it. Kori and Hi are-."
There's a slapping sound heard, followed by the sound of something heavy hitting the floor.
"Shut the fuck up. Let out Moeyasui Shimo out then. She'll do it no questions asked."
"You know I can't sis. She's too-."
"Then shut the fuck up, and be out on that goddamn stage in 10 minutes, or I'll let her out for you." With that, someone turned on heel and came towards the door. Yami jumped back quickly, landing silently in the shadowy corner and crouching down behind a chair, so he wouldn't be seen. Someone exited into the room Yami was in, and the light from the bathroom beyond lit their features enough that was able to Yami see them.
She wore knee high black combat boots that laced up, and black and white striped stockings. Her short skirt had an animal print on a black background that looked somewhat like a jaguar's fur in the front and back, and the sides were made of black fishnet. She wore a gray t-shirt that had a thick belt going around the front that was the same tanish color as the animal print on the skirt. The shirt underneath was modest; it covered her midriff and had a dark tanish colored rope going around it and tying in the front underneath where the t-shirt ended and near the bottom of the shirt underneath. The long-sleeved shirt underneath was dark green and the sleeves belled out, but fastened at the wrists with the same kind of rope that tied the bottom, letting only an inch of fray touch her hands, on which she wore a few rings; plain gold on one and gold with emeralds in them on the other. Around her neck was a pendant that was a gold and emerald heart shaped yin-yang on a black chord. Her black hair was pulled up into spiked pigtails, and the left had green stripes in it, while the right spiked tail had yellow stripes in it. On her dark skin, (she looked African American), green eyeliner stood out very well, and gold glitter stood out on her cheeks. [7] The last thing Yami noticed with a slight start, was that she had one green eye, and one gold eye, which were currently glaring back towards the open door to the bathroom. Then, a voice came from the bathroom.
"Roceaa -." The girl turned, eyes wild, and proceeded to raise a hand and slap the other person, who Yami couldn't see, and yell,
"Don't ever call me by my name, you stupid fucking little whore. Slaves do not refer to their masters by anything other than that; you're lucky I let the nickname 'Ro' slide." and with that, she stormed out. Then, the other person took a half a step forward, and from where was Yami sitting, he could see just barely what they were wearing.
He could see a pair of black boots with a perhaps 3" heel, that was cut off by a pair of tight black jeans with silver spikes traveling up the side, and rips randomly appearing here and there, closed with safety pins. They stopped low and showed off a pale midriff that had a silver skull belly button ring in it that had one red eye and one pale blue eye. Around the waist was a strange sort of belt. It was a triple row of spikes, but in the middle, where it was supposed to buckle, there were three inverted pentagons of silver that came down to just between the knee and leg. It reminded Yami of old-age warrior armor. Next, Yami saw a pale white, finely muscled arm that had a fingerless black glove covering the bottom half of it, until just above the elbow. Above that was a silver arm wrap that had the shape of a snake. It twisted up her arm thrice sinisterly with one gleaming ruby eye and one pale topaz blue eye. There was a tight leather tank top on this person, and around their neck was a silver ankh on a black chord, and on it were ornate, thin designs that were etched in purple. Black henna patterns swirled around the chest, shoulder, and arms and up the neck. Around the thin, pale neck, was a thick leather dog collar with one row of huge spikes; their diameters had to have been ¾ of an inch at least, and they were probably 3 inches long. Then, a spill of violet-purple hair fell over the opposite side of the neck and hung low on the body; probably to at least the hips. The pale, slightly pointed exposed ear was rowed with earrings; most silver, some purple, others red or blue. On the center, on that little bit of cartilage that connects to the head in the center of the ear, there was an ankh that had a purple center. Lips were ringed with black, and filled in with a lilac color that was grayish in itself. The eyes were ringed with black eyeliner, which swirled down into something that resembled a teardrop. There was black shadow on the eyes which was mixed with purple gradually until the black had faded out completely and there was only purple, which was near the fine curve of a mauve colored eyebrow. [8] The last thing Yami saw were dark purple eyes before the person went, picked up a leather jacked from the opposite couch, and left.
Rofaic? What was *that* all about?………
