The not so evil Ring

Chapter 2 – By Yami Seirei

Yami came scooting down the stairs when he heard Yugi scream and stopped short when he saw Yugi.
His already pale complexion was even more pale, in fact he was as white as a sheet.
"Yugi what is it?" he gasped.
"Th…th…th…th…th…that." Yugi stuttered unable to say what he'd seen. Eventually he pushed the paper towards Yami and pointed to the headline. Yami's lips formed two words.
"Oh shit."
Yugi nodded and turned even whiter so that he looked like a spiky tri-coloured haired ghost.
"We better call everyone round." As he spoke the phone went and Yami answered it and mm'd down the mouthpiece a few times before replacing the reciever.
"The others are on their way as they all stopped over at Seto and Jou's place last night no doubt discussing the 'curse' video."
Yugi paced the room while Yami drummed his fingers as they waited for the others to arrive.
The bell of the shop went and Yami left to usher everyone inside and into the living room. Yugi was still in shock as was Ryou and Malik. After Yami brought Yugi in, the three hikaris sat on the settee staring straight ahead. All three of them leapt three feet into the air when the doorbell went.
Bakura went to get it and found Anzu bouncing up and down on the doorstep. Bakura groaned. No-one had told her they were meeting – sheesh did this girl have spies or something?
"Hello Bakura." She gushed "All my friends are here right? Yayy!" and she shot through the door before Bakura could say 'Millennium Ring'.
"Oh hello bitch not nice to see you too." He muttered under his breath before fixing her back with his best death glare and following her into the living room.
"Hello my friends! You know it's so important to have good friends right? I mean where would I be without my friends? If we stick together wecan beat anything right guys?"
She said all this very fast while they all sat and stared at her wide-eyed before nodding slowly.
"Yes Anzu" They all intoned monotonously "Whatever you say"
'Dumb bitch.' Added everyone under their breaths – even Yugi who was sick of Anzu's brainless friendship rants. No-one minded if she became a victim of the curse video.
"Now what do we do? It seems this curse video is real and we got the phone call last night which means we have 6 days left." Yami said looking at his aibou who was huddled up with Ryou and Malik on the settee. Anzu was trying to drape herself over Yami who was in turn trying to push her off.
Bakura decided to help the baka pharaoh for once as no-one deserved to be molested by a love-crazed Anzu. She tried to get off with Yami at every opportunity even though Yami had told her on a number of occasions that he wasn't interested, she didn't seem to get the hint. Bakura grabbed her arm and plonked her down on the floor.
"Sit down." He ordered and she sat but still made puppy dog eyes up at Yami who shifted uncomfortably as he felt her eyes bore into him.
"As I was saying, it seems that there is more to this video than meets the eye and we must be careful."
"Huh well I still don't believe in all this supernatural clap trap." Seto spoke as Jou clung to his lover.
"Well I believe it." Jou said his voice shaking and the others nodded even Bakura was looking a little worried.
"Oh for pity's sake." Seto said "if you're that bothered you'd all better come and cower at my place – it's bigger than here and you can all stick together there."
"Thanks Seto." Yami said and Seto waved his hand.
"Just don't break anything alright?"
They all nodded and Seto got up. "Come on pup we're leaving." He strode out the door, Jou following looking for all the world like a little dog with his tail between his legs. Everyone giggled and then became serious again.
"Right lets get ready." Yami said and the rest left leaving Yugi and Yami alone again except for Anzu who was still giving Yami puppy dog eyes. Yugi looked at her in annoyance.
"Anzu don't you have a home to go to?" he asked impatiently.
"Well I thought I would stick with you guys as we are the best of friends right? And I thought we could stop off at my place on the way and I can pick up my stuff."
Yugi stared. Gah this girl was so annoying! Yugi wanted time alone with Yami so they could have a little intimacy before they joined the others.
"Go home Anzu." He said an edge to his voice that was lost on Anzu.
"Oh but I'd much rather stay here with you." Anzu said looking pointedly at Yami.
Yami shuddered.
"Oh for Ra's sake!"Yugi said losing his temper. "Can't you get it through your thick useless brain that Yami is MY boyfriend? He doesn't have the slightest bit of interest in you whatsoever, in fact while we're at it we all can't stand you and your pathetic friendship rants. They drive us all insane! Now GET OUT!"
Anzu and Yami both stared at Yugi open mouthed but for different reasons. Anzu just simply couldn't believe a word of what Yugi said and Yami couldn't believe his aibou had it in him to talk like that!
"Yami darling how can you let him talk to me like that?" She said draping herself over Yami.
Yugi saw red.
"I SAID GET OUT!" he yelled and grabbing Anzu by the scruff of her neck he grabbed her and literally threw her out of the door and onto the street. Anzu sprawled on the floor and blinked gormlessly (A/N: As in the gormless look Yami does in the series 2 episode 'Steppin' out' where Yugi sends Yami on a date with Anzu (shudder) and makes him switch on purpose. The look on Yami's face is priceless hehe)
Yugi slammed the door and dusted off his hands before returning to Yami who was staring open mouthed at his aibou.
"Wow aibou I didn't know you had it in you." He grinned "But thanks." The relief evident in his voice. "Now come here." He winked and Yugi melted into the kiss Yami gave him.
"Mmm let's go upstairs Yami." Yugi said tugging on his lover's arm.
"Now that is the best idea I have heard all day." Yami said and the two boys vanished up the stairs giggling.

Anzu picked herself up off the pavement outside the Kame Game Shop and dusted herself off. She began to walk through the park on her way home.
"How could he say those things to me? It can't be true it just can't! I know he has feelings for me. He must do. Please let him have feelings for me." She begged in her mind.
She began to gasp as the realisation dawned on her that Yami might really agree with Yugi and actually not like her. She shook her head to clear it as her thoughts were becoming foggy. Her breathing became rapid and shallow as she hyperventilated in shock as it finally permeated her tiny almost non-existant brain.
"Oh he doesn't like me at all! He really does hate me!"
She stopped walking and fell to her knees on the wet grass. She thumped the floor in anguish.
"No! he has to like me I thought we were friends! It's not fair!"
Her breathing became more and more ragged until she could hardly breathe.
Out of the shadows loomed a figure. In the semi-darkness the figure drew his hand out from his cloak. The hand was holding a vicious looking knife.
At the last second Anzu saw him and her mouth opened wide ready to scream but before she could, the knife was plunged into her heart and she fell forwards onto the floor her blood soaking into the grass a look of shock still on her face.

The figure disappeared back into the darkness grinning eevilly.
