Chapter 2.
I was sneaking back to the mansion after spending most of my day playing 'Least In Sight' with the Three Psychos and their pet Innocent when I heard cries of pain and the dull thud of flesh on flesh.
I turned towards the alley and stopped in horror at what I was seeing.
About ten feet down the alley were three kids of about fourteen beating the shit out of Yugi Motou.
I felt suddenly hot and I heard myself scream in this waay pissed off voice, "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU LITTLE PRATS THINK YOU'RE DOING!"
The little prats looked at me with wide eyes, dropped the purple-eyed punching bag known as Yugi and bolted.
I rushed up to the poor kid and helped him up. "You Ok, kid?"
Yugi staggered to his feet, muttered a "Thanks…" and looked up.
It was then and there I knew I had a problem.
His face turned red and he was suddenly shy.
I smiled back at him gently and said in a softer tone, "You're Yugi Motou, right?"
He blushed harder and nodded.
I giggled at him and my smile widened. "I'm Dominique Ishtar, but my friends call me Demi."
He forgot to be embarrassed and looked at me, obviously confused. "Demi?"
I grin at him. "Because only half of I are considered sane." I tapped my forehead for emphasis.
I could all but see the lights flick on as he caught the joke.
I looked at him as he laughed with an indulgent semi-smirk. "I like you. Wanna come over to my house for some milk, cookies and cartoons?"
His smile faded, leaving his cherubic face solemn. Yugi shook his head regretfully. "Sorry, Demi. I've gotta get home. Things to do."
I narrowed my eyes at him. Yugi was too hesitant, too nervous. Almost scared.
"I'll walk you home then."
"NO! I mean, no thank you. I can get home on my own. Sorry. Bye, Demi!" He turned and bolted before I could say anything else.
Definitely scared.
/Follow him. / A boy's voice urged from in my head.
Huh?
/My name is Riku and I'm your yami. Now get your ass into gear and follow him. You do realise you're here to protect him right? /
…We'll talk about this later. Right now, I'm off to hunt the elusive hikari.
I slunk around the corner and took off after his running form.
Four blocks later, the little light turned into the Kame Game shop.
