Chapta Four: The Hunt is OnMarik looked over at his muttering yami and grinned, before returning his attention to the shivering girl on her knees in front of them. Brushing a stray strand of blonde hair from his eyes, he strolled at a leisure pace over to Anzu and pulled at his dagger, making sure that the girl heard the metal scrape against the sheath.
"Hello, annoying girl…" Anzu shivered as she felt the cold edge slide against her jaw. Forcing herself to look up into the amused Egyptian's eyes she stuttered, "M-my friends will-"
"tsk, tsk, tsk… the pharaoh's not here right now… it's just you, me, and Malik… We'll have lots of fun, yes?" Anzu glared up at him, refusing to acknowledge the sinking feeling in her guts that he was right.
"Now… where's the pharaoh?" Marik said, emphasizing the importance of that question with a wave of his dagger. Anzu started to glare when she was suddenly facing a rather lethal dagger in between her eyes. She gulped and thought quickly- the library was supposedly empty… there she would kick the brat in the balls and escape with nary a scratch! Ignoring the obvious fact that Marik was stronger and faster than her by miles she nodded to her self mentally. She had the will of a woman and the power of her friend's love behind her she will prevail against all!!!!
She got up shakily despite her prep talk and collected the papers that she'd dropped before leading the two armed teens towards the other side of the school campus, they couldn't get mad at her if they didn't find Yami right? Besides, she still had Yami's protection no matter what… she thought firmly, stifling the rising panic in her. She had friend's… it was all going to be okay…

Yami brushed Yugi's hair wearily as the flashes of cameras went off around them, from the lights going off you'd think that there was a horde of people around them when there only was two crazed girls. He looked at the 'bondage' crazed girl warily, half-expecting the 'journalist' to whip out a set of leather kinky get ups and demand that they wear it for a 'special photo take'. From what he'd seen so far refusal would be futile and she'd probably got to the extreme point of stripping them herself. He shuddered as he imagined some of the photos in certain people's hands…
Yugi nuzzled his face against Yami's shoulder, sensing his darker half's discomfort, before planting a small kiss on the neck.
/It's okay Yami… I don't think they're going to be sharing these photos…/
Right…Yami thought back, his voice laced with skepticism. Yugi laughed softly and wound his arms tighter around his neck, scooting closer towards Yami. The pharaoh smiled softly and tightened his grip around the shorter boy's waist before burying his face into Yugi's spiky hair. He ignored the pause of flashing photography- it wasn't over…the girls were probably 'cherishing the moment.'
"Hey," Yami mumbled against the tri-colored hair. "You think we could take a nap on the table tops? I'm kind of tired…" Yugi opened his mouth to reply when he was interrupted by a sharp squeal.
"OOOHHH! Moving it to the table tops!" the 'bondage girl' as both the teens had dubbed her nudged them in the sides as the other girl hurriedly moved to clear the desks of all studious objects.
Stopping to eye her handiwork, she muttered barely audible. "Must be our lucky day…kinky bastards…"
Yugi colored magnificently and refused to look at Yami's amused eyes.
/Well…at least Anzu isn't here…/ Yami sighed, his other half always looked towards the optimistic side…even if there was none.
Yeah…she'd be yelling at us that it isn't proper to engage in activities in a school classroom, and how friends are supposed to tell all including their sexual preferences and activities…Yami retorted, successfully muttering his reply.
/True… she wouldn't let us do anything…/ Yugi sighed and got off Yami's lap pulled the older boy to his feet, towards the desk, obliging the two girl's demands.
On that note…maybe Anzu won't be coming back anytime soon? Yami asked hopefully. Yugi rolled his eyes at his yami's question and sat down on the edge of the desk.
/Maybe…she's been gone a long time…/ Yami smiled, a glint surfacing in his crimson eyes as he gazed at the boy perched precariously on the desk.
Maybe, she went and got herself kidnapped by Marik and his yami again…He suggested.
/That'd be funny…/ Yugi sent back absently, shutting his eyes as his lips parted slightly. His mind was more focused on the way Yami was licking his neck and how the older teen always managed to make the rest of the world fade…1

Jou glanced at the sleeping brunette and scowled. The CEO still managed to look elegant even when he was sprawled across the sofa. Damn, prick…how can he fall asleep with carnivorous angels above us?
Jou studied the brunette's features, excusing his actions with the thought of concentrating on an object besides the live mural above. He leaned forward, gripping the cell phone tightly and peered at the CEO's peaceful face interestedly. Sleep had erased all traces of the permanent sneer or smirk, leaving a rather vulnerable teen instead… Dark lashes rested gently against Seto's cheeks while his firm lips were parted slightly, breathing out every other few seconds.
In fact, if someone just walked in- they would have thought that the brunette was just some ordinary teen, catching some z's. Jou snickered, all thoughts of the angels above erased by the new perspective of Kaiba he'd just gained…if only he had a camera-
He paused and glanced down at the glowing metal object he held…then mentally cackled. Trust the prick to have the best cell-phone with the best photo images ever…
Sweet! One picture of sleeping beauty comin' right up!
He snickered and knelt down in front of Seto, holding up the phone focusing on Kaiba's handsome face and quickly snapped a picture. The flash lit up the small space, illuminating the whole library for a split second. Jou blinked as spots of white danced around in his eyes and tried to focus on the face in front of his. Jou froze as the brunette's face scrunched up, wrinkling his nose cutely. I did not just use da word cutely…I mean, Seto can only be hot-
Jou cut himself off. It must be the lack of food that was getting to him…that and the lack of female contact in his life.
"Nnnnnnn… damn puppy." Jou paled and tensed himself, waiting for the CEO's crazed rant. Kaiba scrunched his face up even more and shifted uncomfortably against the couch's worn fabric, stopping when he had his head situated comfortably in the nook where the armrest meet the back of the couch.
Jou shifted his weight slightly, barely trusting himself to move in fear that the slightest creak would wake the lightly dozing teen up. After a couple of strained minutes where all that was heard was the steady breathing pattern of the brunette Jou, finally let out his breath entirely and grinned, his cheeky attitude back.
He waved the glowing cell phone in front of the teen's face and dangled its strap a few millimeters away from the peaceful CEO. He scooted closer towards the CEO and glared at him, feeling a weird urge to rant at him.
"Ya know what you prick?" he muttered darkly, swinging the cell phone's surface dangerously close to Kaiba's face. "You're one selfish bastard- first off, you take the majority of the couch, then ya travel off to a nice la-la land filled with goodness knows what and then ya leave me all alone with…with…" Jou's words dwindled into the darkness as he realized that the cell phone's constant light was now pulsing irregularly in his hands.
"Oh gawds…" he whispered as his fists clenched tightly against the metal and the fabric of his jeans. A chill traveled down his spine, a wave of goose bumps chasing after it. Jou stared at the cell phone's monitor disbelievingly as a small battery symbol appeared.
He swore underneath his breath as the monitor began to flicker at an alarming rate, growing dimmer by each passing second. The blonde scooted onto the couch and nudged the brunette softly with his hand, his eyes still focused on the dying device. Kaiba grunted and turned over onto his side, his back to the blonde, clearly not willing to wake up.
Jou froze as he thought he saw a laughing skull in the middle of the flickering monitor. Ah…gawds…ohshit. Jou felt his heart rate spring to life, his ears filled with the deafening silence as he watched the small circle of light around him grow smaller and smaller until after one last flicker of life, the monitor went blank.
The bookshelves around him seemed to creak, as they appeared to bend towards him, as if jeering at his unfortunate position. Jou felt fear surge through him in a colossal wave as he scrambled back onto the couch, curling up into a ball next to Kaiba's knees. The whole library was silent, the atmosphere filled with a hesitant air, as if it was waiting for something to happen.
A cold breeze swept across the teen's coiled body as he shivered, feeling icy fingers brush across his arms… you're going to die soon… Jou squeezed his eyes shut and gripped the cell phone tightly as a warrior would do with his sword in the end. Dieeee…you'll be meat on a pitchfork… the blonde whimpered as the light voice came again, swirling around him with the cold breeze and icy fingers.
A cackle resonated through the library and the walls bounced the sound back and forth, amplifying it. Jou reluctantly forced his eyes open and cast his frightened gaze towards the ceiling again, disregarding the constant screaming in the back of his head not to. The chocolate orbs widened as he realized that the angels were in the purest white- almost blinding to the eye and not a spec of blood was to be seen.
The obvious leader of the seraphs smiled benignly her outstretched hand, a gesture of invitation to the haven above. Kind brown eyes gazed down at the speechless blonde below, as if saying that all was well and it was time for him to go to a better place…
Jou slowly stood up, tilting his head to keep his gaze on the beautiful angels above him. The angel's brown eyes were hypnotic, lulling him into a sense of peace, chasing away all his feelings of fear and past memories of angels associated with blood. The mural glowed with a heavenly light that seemed to chase all the darkness away from the library- all except the small space that the blonde and Kaiba occupied.
Jounouchi frowned, he didn't want to stay in the dark- he wanted to go into the purifying light that chased all his worries away. His eyes still scanning the serene faces of the seraphs above he began to hesitantly raise his hand towards the angels' offered hands, frowning when he saw the metal object it still clutched.
What's this? He glanced up questioning the angel's above him, oblivious to the worried glances that they had sent each other. The celestial beings shook their heads and seemed to motion for him to forget about it and continue his journey towards them. Shrugging his feelings of foreboding off he clambered onto the table clumsily and continued his arm's slow travel towards the mural's hand when something in the way that the head angel was smiling froze him. A memory swam past him as he saw a flash of blood- white robes stained crimson…bones… and cruel laughter rang through his head.
The head angel snarled impatiently and bared her teeth, showing sharp canines. Jou snatched his hand away from the outstretched hand of the angel and jumped off the table. The seraph seemed to flap its wings impatiently and its outstretched hand emphasized the command that it had spoken.
Come.
Jou backed away slowly, shaking his head frantically blonde hair flying across his face. He had been so close to going… he felt another surge of fear pump through him as the angels rapidly transformed, their previous shining robes ragged and stained scarlet. The feathers on their pure wings fell off, turning raven as they did, revealing the jagged bones beneath. Jou let out a sob as pointed tails whipped out from behind their bodies along with pitchforks and battleaxes.
Jou froze as he felt the library vibrate with the unspoken anger of the corrupted angels at being thwarted of their next meal. Brandishing their weapons menacingly they once again seemed to be pushing their way out of the paint and surface into the 'real' world.
Relax Jou…it's just some stupid painting by a Van Gogh wannabe… The blonde stood paralyzed as he watched the leader of the angel's crawl across the ceiling to him, her forked tongue slipping out to lick away the trickle of blood that was running down her face. Jou's mouth went dry with terror as she paused right above him, her scarlet eyes glowing eerily at him. Her body shined slightly looking as though she had rubbed oil over it…but Jou knew what it really was. The seraph smirked down at him from her position on the ceiling and pointed her bloodied pitchfork down at him, a rivulet of the red liquid flowing down towards the tip to drip off onto him.
Jou jumped as he felt a drop land on his cheek…wait…that's impossible…paintings aren't supposed to drip…… Shakily, he reached a trembling hand up to touch the liquid. Sniffing it, the blonde couldn't detect any smell. Heh…probably just water then… Just to be sure, he placed the liquid covered finger into his mouth.
Blanching, as his taste buds tasted a familiar coppery flavor he scrambled backwards towards the couch and jumped onto the sleeping brunette's chest, wrapping his arms around the other teen's neck tightly.
"Geh!" Kaiba's eyes snapped open, his heart thundering in his chest as he felt something heavy drop onto him from the sky above, crushing his chest. He fervently hoped that it was only the mutt, not bloodthirsty angels come to life.
Sighing with relief as he made out the shape of Jounouchi's head buried in his shoulder he made to sit up, only forced back down by the blonde. He rolled his eyes annoyed and was about to yell at the insolent brat when he sensed that something was wrong with the library's atmosphere. He felt his hair stand up as a breeze whipped by him.
So…you're awake now pretty? Seto glanced around wildly sitting up abruptly with the blonde still in his lap, his arms winding around the shaking boy for reassurance.
Oooh…protecting your boyfriend now are you? The voice taunted as a biting wind swept across the library, scattering the various papers on the librarian's desk into the air, forming ghostly shapes in the darkened room. Seto shivered, for once glad that the blonde was in his arms. Last time he checked the library didn't have any windows…or air vents.
His arms tightened involuntarily around Jou's waist as he felt something drip onto his bare arm. Craning his head around Jounouchi's head he peered at the dark liquid, sniffing it cautiously, he freed that arm and licked the drop of fluid.
Seto grimaced and pulled a face as a metallic taste filled his mouth. No…way. No way in fuc-
He reluctantly looked up towards the deranged mural, feeling a magnetic pull drawing his eyes towards it against his will. Red eyes gleamed down at him maliciously. Seto swallowed thickly, unable to move underneath the hypnotic glare, as a sardonic voice in is head appeared. Um… hello there…
Another drip on his arm brought him out of his lethargy and he hauled the blonde into his arms, bridal style and dashed towards the back of the library, random thoughts flitting through the back of his mind… I wonder if I can sue the mutt for having to carry him? He's pretty light… wonder if the demonic angels have caught up with me?
The CEO made a huge mistake as curiosity got the best of him …he looked back.
The angel snarled and pulled out its pitchfork that was resting in the spot that he'd just been reclining in and gave chase after them on all fours, creating the illusion of a mutant leopard garbed in bloody rags. A howl sent chills down Seto's back as he flew around a shelf, narrowly dodging a thrown lance.
The seraphs all dropped down from the ceiling, following their Master's example faithfully and began to gallop after the running teen and companion their bloody hands and feet slapping against the carpet loudly. Seto swore fluently as he dove into the maintenance closet, slamming the door shut and locking it twice. A split second later he heard the satisfying crunch against the door as the celestial beings slammed into it… hopefully accidentally spearing themselves…
His satisfaction was short-lived when a pitchfork stabbed through the thin wood door, leaving four large holes. His blood chilled as he heard the snarls of satisfaction from the other side. Banging on the side of the wall in frustration with his head, his arms still occupied by a sniffling blonde he blinked in surprise as a trap door sprang up beneath them. Without a second thought, he threw the blonde onto the floor and pried up the heavy cement slab, grunting with the effort. Dragging the blonde across the floor towards the opening, he slid down the opening cautiously, letting out breath of relief as he felt his toes come in contact with a ledge, he quickly dragged the blonde in next to him, fastening the lock on the trap door just as the door flew apart in splinters. Huddling down next to the petrified teen he took Jounouchi back into his arms, fighting down the snide voice in his head… he didn't want to, but the blonde really needed comfort now.
Since when did you care? Seto scowled at the voice in his head. I don't.
Sure…that makes a lot of sense oh great Kaiba. Kaiba slumped his shoulders in defeat and buried his face into the blonde's apple scented hair. Nothing made sense in this world anymore. Paintings came to life and tried to kill you for lunch, while he was feeling sorry for a stupid mutt. "I'm going insane." He muttered against Jounouchi's strands of hair and was surprised to feel a comforting squeeze around his waist.
You can't goinsane if you already are… Kaiba was about to retort when he felt the ledge beneath him shake from the impacts against the door on top, dust scattering on them through the slits. Feeling Jou tighten his grip around his waist, he absently rubbed a hand across the blonde's back in a comforting pattern, pointedly keeping his mind blank on all distracting sensations as a chilling thought made itself known in his mind.
The creatures were trying to break through the cement…and they were pretty close.
