Chapter 46
Calm Before The Storm
She felt like she was sinking into the pits of hell themselves. There was water all around her, and she couldn't breath, not to mention her arm was pretty much numb except for pain. Her face hurt too. She didn't know how far she was sinking, but she knew she had to find the strength to move.
Weakly she moved her arms, despite the pain, and kicked her feet in a desperate need for air. What felt like hours later her head finally broke the surface, and she sucked fresh air into her crying lungs. Glancing down at her arm she groaned at a piece of metal sticking out of it surrounded by blood that was mingling with the water.
'At least I'm alive.' She thought with a small sigh of relief as she feebly made her way to shore. Collapsing on the hard ground her body began to rack with coughs. Her whole body felt like she had just been to hell and back again, and she leaned against a tree, regaining her breath as she tried to figure out what to do.
She didn't have anyway of getting back to the club. Her cellphone had been shot out of her hands, and even if it hadn't, it would've survived the water anyway. The bike was toast, and she couldn't have ridden it with her arm anyway. And she didn't possess to power of flight.
All and all she was screwed, cold, wet, and hungry, not to mention in pain. She felt something running down her cheek and wiped away what she thought would be water, but when she gazed down at her hand, it was covered with diluted blood.
"Shit." She moaned. She was grateful that she was a fast healer, and that she should be fine in a couple days. The problem was that she didn't have a couple days to heal. Her green eyes scanned around as she pushed her wet purple hair away from her face.
She didn't see anyone around, but there were a few boats around. Boats with radios.
She knew it was rude, but at the moment, she was desperate.
She hopped into the boat and reached for the radio, changing the channel to the one that her gang used when they were on bikes with the walkie talkies in the helmets. She just prayed that someone was on the bike to hear her.
"Hello, anyone out there?" She asked, waiting and listening, but she was only greeted with static. "Hello? If anyone's out there, answer me, this is a emergency regarding the Daggers!" Nothing.
"Hello! If anyone's out there, answer me please!" Again nothing. Slamming the radio back on the hook out of sheer frustration she sat in the chair. There was nothing she could do, she would have to keep trying the radio and hope that someone replied before things went really ugly.
She fought back tears of frustration, anger, pain and fear.
She probably would have cried if the radio hadn't jumped to life.
"Maiyu? Maiyu is that you?" She grabbed the radio instantly.
"Yes, it's me! Ryou I wouldn't blame you if you switched my off right now but I need your help." She answered.
"What's the problem?" He asked, and Maiyu smiled to herself. Just like Ryou to not even mention the problem if there was something more important.
"I was attacked by a swarm of Daggers who tried to take me down on my bike." She explained. "I managed to get out ok, but the bike exploded. I'm at the docks borrowing a boat radio."
"Ok." Came Ryou's response. "I'll send Leai to get you, are you sure your ok?"
"Fine." She sighed. "Just fine." The signed off and she replaced the radio in it's hook and sat down. She was feeling weak, probably from blood loss. She placed her head in her hands, wondering what she was going to do.
She felt lost, not even knowing if she was going to live to see the end of the week, it scared her. Especially when she had so much to stay for.
With a heavy sigh she leaned back in the chair and did the only thing she could do - wait.
Yami's lavender eyes moved around the room, lingering on each face. God how he wished Amaya's face was among them, but sadly - it wasn't. He had heard from Ryou why Maiyu wasn't present, so he had excused her from the gathering.
He sighed and felt like kicking himself. It wasn't for him, Amaya wouldn't have run off and get captured, and the ones he loved and respected wouldn't be in such danger.
He stared again at the faces. Demi, Seto, Kaiya, and Joey. He looked at Kaiya, knowing that she wouldn't have been there if Rei had lived. In a way, he blamed himself for their deaths, but he knew that knew what they were getting into when they had that tattoo put on their back.
"Alright." He said, but it came out as a sigh. He was worried to death about Amaya, who at the moment hated him - of that he was sure, but right now he had to focus on getting Marik dead. "As you all know by now, we have under 24 hours to surrender, or Amaya's dead." Joey growled and clenched his fists. "But I'm not going to surrender - were gonna fight."
"Damn right were gonna fight." Demi stated, her usual funny attitude gone. At the moment she was all business.
"I know." He replied. "We just need a plan. I want Marik dead by sunrise the day after tomorrow."
"Sounds good to me." Seto growled, and Demi, Joey and Yami knew that he was remembering the precious baby brother that Marik had so heartlessly murdered.
"And we have a plan." Demi piped. Yami nodded his head. "It's like this……….
Maiyu waited patiently as she worked the piece of metal that was sticking out of her arm. She winced in pain as she gently tugged on it.
"Damn, the fucking thing's in there deep." She moaned as she braced herself. 'This is gonna hurt.' A cry of pain echoed over the waters as the purple haired women pulled the foreign object out of her arm in one clean shot.
Thick blood gushed out of the cut. She was going to need stitches - badly. Reaching down she tore a piece of cloth from her shirt, making the previously full covering shirt a belly top as she began wrapping it around her arm tightly, the black material soaking with the red fluid before she had even finished.
She had just tied the knot when she heard the roar of an engine. Breathing with relief, she jumped out of the boat and into the knee deep water. She had just reached shore when she saw Leai pull up. She removed her helmet and looked down at the smaller girl.
She looked at little worse for wear to say the least. Her violet hair was damp, hanging limply around her face that had a deep cut on one cheek that was still oozing blood that she wiped away from time to time. Her side was bleeding from what looked like where a bullet narrowly missed her, and a cloth was wrapped around a bleeding arm.
"You look terrible."
"Oh thanks." Maiyu grumbled, hoping onto the back of the bike with some protest from her aching side. She was just glad that it hadn't hit her stomach. Not many words were shared on the drive back, and Maiyu thanked Leai quickly before running up to her apartment.
This was it, she had to tell Bakura now. It was that, our risk the chance of one of them dying and her never getting the chance.
She stumbled into her doorway to see Bakura looking at her expectantly. She noticed that he had removed his bandages and that his injuries were just minor cuts now that then had time to heal.
"What the fuck happened to you?"
"I got attacked by Daggers." She replied simply, heading to the bathroom to clean herself up. She didn't notice the heavy glare that crossed his features as he watched her wash her arm, and face before applying a bandage to her face.
She closed the door as she changed into a pair of new jeans and a belly top that she could wear while stitching her side.
Making her way back to her bed with a bowl of warm water, her sewing kit, and a wash cloth, she stole a glance at Bakura who looked pissed to say the least.
"Bakura?" She asked softly. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." He grunted. There was a period of silence and Maiyu winced as the hot water hit the wound on her side. It hurt, but it had to be done. "What's Marik up to?" Maiyu's head snapped up. How could he know that Marik was up to something?
"What makes you think that he's up to something?" She asked as she threaded her needle and pressed it to her skin, biting her lip to prevent from crying out as she sewed her skin back together.
"Just a hunch." He replied. "Now tell me, so I have a proper reason to kill him. Not that I don't already have one." He growled. Maiyu sighed in defeat. He was going to know soon anyway.
"He took Yami's girlfriend - Amaya, and we have 24 hours to surrender or he's killing her." He turned to see her stitching herself up, but didn't say anything about it.
"Sounds like something he'd do." He answered gruffly. "Something that cowardly. So are you going to surrender?"
"Are you kidding?" She replied followed by soft cursing as she continued her work. "Although I don't know for sure, but then again I'm sure that Yami won't just lay down and quietly surrender. No, if I know Yami he'll go down fighting." More silence except for the occasional whimper of pain. She sighed as she cut the string that was protruding from her arm with her teeth. "There."
"Your not done yet." He muttered, his chocolate gaze dropping from her arm to her side that didn't look all that deep.
"I'm fine." She replied quickly. "That one doesn't need it. Besides, it's too much pain to go through right now." He didn't say anything, just shrugged and turned away as she tightly bandaged her side, making it look as if her shirt was half black and half white. "I'm just glad that it didn't hit too close to my stomach."
Again he didn't say anything so she decided to be the bold one and reach out to him, pulling herself close to him and breathing in the scent that was purely male. She felt him stiffen then relax.
She told herself that she wanted to be strong and not let her worry show, but it was a futile battle and before she knew what was happening, her emotions were pouring off her lips like a river.
"God." She moaned. "What the hell is happening?"
"Your guess is a good as mine." He replied, a bit harsher then he meant to.
"Bakura, don't you realize how many people are going to die? Do you know how easily it could be one of us?" She tried to fight back tears, but she was scared, and before she could stop them, the hot tears splashed onto his bare chest. "I don't want to loose anyone else that I care about."
"You'll be fine." He muttered, not exactly know what to do at the moment, so he did nothing. Maiyu took a breath and plunged, determined to get what she had to say out before she regretted it for the rest of her life if she or Bakura didn't make it out.
"I just have to let you know Bakura, that I need to make it out of this alive." She said, her voice losing it's strength. "But in case we don't, I just want to let you know that I love you." She paused, not daring to look at his face. "I need you Bakura, we both do."
He looked at her with a quizzical look.
"Bakura, I'm pregnant."
Amaya looked around her cell with boredom. She knew she should be scared, that Yami probably won't just lay down and surrender for her sake, that she was more then likely going to be sent back to the gang in a sack, but oddly, she knew no fear.
At the moment, the thing she knew most was hunger. She was starving. Sure they feed her - bread and water. Hardly any nutrition or comfort.
A movement outside her cell caught her attention, and she looked up disinterestedly at the man she knew was looking in at the pitiful sight she had become.
Her hair hung dull and lifeless around her face witch was bruised from the beatings that she earned from her sharp tongue. It was a good thing she didn't bruise easily or else you probably wouldn't have been able to make her face out at all.
The skin that could be seen from what she was wearing was bruised and had dried blood here and there from the cuts that the rings that some of the men wore on their hands made, and her clothing was full of died blood as well, not to mention that every bone in her body ached.
Everywhere but her stomach which she had been protecting very well.
All and all she looked a wreck.
"You, bitch." Marik sneered from the other side of the bars. "Get up, I want to talk to you."
"Go to hell." She grumbled, but her head jerked back up as Marik seized her hair, titling her head so that she faced him.
"I said get up." He stated, his voice dangerously low. "Unless you want me to have to teach your place - again." She glared heavily at him, but stood anyway, holding her head up high and proud, even though it took all her strength to keep it there.
She followed Marik to his office where some food was waiting for her. A couple slices of pizza and a coke. She nearly drooled at the sight of it.
"Now." He said, flopping himself in his chair. "I'm willing to give you something good, but I want something in return."
"If it's sex you son of a-"
"Who said anything about that?" He asked, a smirk on his face. "Are you that eager to go again?"
"Never." She spat, her eyes blazing flames before they dropped to the pizza. "Now what the hell do what for it?"
"Information." He said with a dark chuckle. "I seem to have one of my best run off and I have a feeling that you might know where he is."
"Why are you so concerned?" She asked casually. "It's not like you care anyone put yourself."
"To put it plainly - I want to kill him."
"Why I am not surprised?" She sighed.
"His name is Bakura." He pulled something from his pocket and handed it to her. she gazed down at the picture of a mean-looking teen with platinum hair and deep brown eyes that plainly said 'mess with this and die bitch'. She shook her head and handed it back to him.
"Don't know him." She said. "Haven't even heard of him before know." Marik stared at her, a smirk on his face.
"I find that hard to believe, chibi onna." She growled. "I have a witness that saw him with a girl from our gang. The same bitch that got away thanks to you and your bastard. The purple haired one, Maiyu. He was the one that was looking after her when she was here. I think he helped her out of here." He paused, her eyes taking in Amaya's reaction. "From what I can gather, your gang is all pretty chummy with each other, giving me reason to believe that she would tell where she's stashed the little fucker away."
"Look, I haven't seen him or heard of him." Amaya repeated, her patience growing thin. She was starving, and she could smell the pizza, making her realize just how hungry she really was. He regarded her closely and determined that she was telling the truth. He was a regular lie detector after all.
Sighing in annoyance as he pushed the pizza towards her.
"Seeing as your going to die anyway, you might as well have a last meal." He smirked. "Seeing as your little boyfriend hasn't called in surrender yet." For the first time since news of the so-called 'negotiation' , Amaya felt fear for her life. Did Yami really hate her that much that he didn't give a fuck about her at all?
"Whatever." She grumbled, popping pizza into her mouth and drinking the coke down with zeal. When she was finished, Marik lead her back to her guarded cell. From the window see could see the sun dropping, her heart along with it.
She just hoped that Yami wasn't a completely heartless asshole and that was still alive by this time tomorrow.
'I'm so sorry Yami.' She thought. 'I love you, even if you don't love me. I just wish it didn't have down to this to make me realize.'
Bakura looked down at the girl in his arms in shock. Pregnant? But he could see it now, the slight swell in her stomach that was almost unnoticeable unless you were looking for it.
"Shit." He cursed, looking at her again. She looked so scared, so frail, and yet she was one of the strongest person he knew.
"Bakura, please don't hate me." She whispered. "Or the baby. I don't want to think about what I would if you hated me, or it." He felt more tears splashing onto his torso as he grip on him tightened. "It's innocent - even if it was created from rape, but I don't care about how it was made. It's still my child."
He felt himself weaken, giving into an emotion he swore he would feel, and before he knew it he was licking the tears off before kissing her, the salty taste still in his mouth. Smiling against his lips he coaxed her mouth open with his tongue, making her moan against him as their bodies got closer.
They broke away and Bakura ran a hand over her stomach where his unborn child resided, Maiyu placing her hand over his.
All I gotta do
Is get it through to you
You take my hand and let me
Lead you away
"I love you." She whispered, and she didn't except a response. Deep in her heart she knew that he loved her, and the child she was carrying. As she expected, he said nothing, but kissed her passionately before she pulled him on top of her as the landed on her soft bed.
"Your hurt." He mumbled, glancing at her arm and side, despite the tightening in his groin.
Same old words again
He was just a friend
That's what you told me
But your my one and only
"I'll be fine." She whispered. "I don't want to know that one of us died with only a rape to create our child." He nodded, although he had the feeling that she knew one of them was going to die, but he shook it off. After all, there was always a chance that they would both live through it.
Placing the thoughts aside he busied himself with kissing her as he removed her shirt and bra to run his hands over her soft breasts. She moaned, throwing her legs and grinding against him. He began to fondle her breasts with his hands and it hit her how strange everything between them was.
He had hated her, beat her, and raped her - and here he was making love to her before going into the biggest fights of there lives, against his own gang no less. She closed her eyes and moaned in the bliss as she felt his hardness growing against her body as she pressed against him.
If I tell you something now
I ask myself just how
You came into my world
Gotta keep on loving you
"Mmmmahhhhh." She moaned as his hands headed to her nether regions, easily flipping the button and discarding them. Smiling to himself he teased her damp folds, making her extremely frustrated before dipping inside her, making her hips jolt. "Oh god!" She moaned, rocking against his hands as he worked her with skill.
"I see your having fun." He teased, making her glare at him while moaning as she encouraged him with her swaying of her hips to met his finger. Smirking he slipped in another making her moan loudly as she began to build. He knew that this was turning out to be a quickie, but this was to be just the beginning. After all, they had all night didn't they?
So let the sun shine wherever you are
It really doesn't matter how long
How far
I took my time and I realized
Your the only thing that matters now in my life
She came onto his hands, panting from the pleasure before her ands reached out to his belt buckle.
"Well were eager aren't we?"
"Maybe." She grinned. It was funny, she thought that her first time making love that she would have been shy as hell, but her desire to feel him inside her drove it away, and she easily rid him of the clothing. She pulled him on top of him and bucked against him, silently begging him to enter her, which he did eagerly.
She moaned as he entered her slickness easily, her hips thrusting to met him, sending him in deeper then what he have been if she hadn't. The couple quickly found their rhythm, as he pumped into her tender little body, being somewhat careful to not hit her side which was still bandaged.
Just another song
While the best goes on
You keep on movin' and I'll bring you the groove
"Bakura." She moaned, her nails running along his back, leaving small trails in the sweat that shimmered on his back, making him groan at the sensation it gave him.
I guess it's just the way
Nothing left to say
Hard day everyday
DJ take me away
Her moans got increasingly louder as he pace speed up, his sex drive encourage by the moaning. Before either knew it, it was over, leaving the couple panting as he rested his head on her breasts while her fingers wove into his platinum hair.
"I love you." She whispered. "It's hard to think that tomorrow, there's a chance that I could so much." Tears fell to mingle with her sweat and she closed her eyes. Right now, she wasn't going to think about it. For the moment, there was only her and Bakura, and the unborn child for which she lived.
If I tell you something now
I ask myself just how
You came into my world
Gotta keep on loving you
Yami leaned back as Demi finished explaining their plan and nodded.
"That's about it." Kaiya's eyes were thoughtful as she looked up at her leader.
"Sounds ok to me." She said. "But either way, shit's gonna hit the fan and people are going to die."
"I know." He answered gravely. "But that's unavoidable, you know it, I know it. we just have to hope that everything turns out ok."
'He's in so much pain.' Demi thought looking at Yami before her gaze went to Seto. His blue eyes were blazing with a smoldering fire that sent chills through her body. And she knew right then and there that he was going to make Marik pay if it killed him - which it just might.
