Chapter Four
A gasp of disbelief and hope escaped his throat as he stared up into Seto's gentle cerulean eyes. Could this be true, was this really him, would he trust me, would he hurt me, were all questions that formed in Yami's head as his fiery gaze locked with the watery ones of Seto's. His hands began to tremble as his vision drifted to full focus; he recognized Seto's face from a picture that his father had shown him the night before he was taken. How could anyone else have eyes as precious as that, it had to be him.
"Seto," he questioned in a whisper tone and lifting one of his hands ran his digits over his cousin's smooth skin, "can it be". Smiling the young slayer placed his larger hand over that of Yami's upon his face, "it is me, oh great Ra I never thought I would see you again". Yami blinked in confusion, "again, we have never met".
"We have kiddo," stated Blade as he knelt down on the other side of Yami, "we were the two slayers who came to help you, don't you remember". Exhaling a deep and shaky breath Yami nodded, "your face I remember, and his voice I do, but I never saw his face except in a single picture in the house. This is too good to be real, nothing good has happened to me for a year," he whispered.
Sighing Seto gently put his hand under Yami's head and cringed at the feeling of warm blood upon his fingertips. Shaking his head he lifted his gaze to Westly, "he will have an intense concussion for this," he said in a stern tone. Crossing his arms West gave the boy vampire a sympathetic look, "I'm sorry about that, it was only a reaction". Yami gave a weak smile, "I've had far worse West, trust me, the wound you inflicted upon me is like a scratch compared to most of my others".
Seto's cerulean eyes narrowed dangerously and went immediately cold and icy, "what do you mean by that," he demanded. Yami stared up at him with hesitancy, then he turned his gaze away, "Valick inflicts injuries upon me when I disobey him or try and run off to find the Ministry. They take a week to heal or more, even with my vampirism it takes a long time". Growling Seto slammed one of his fists onto the concrete beside them, "damn that bastard".
Rustling and voices could suddenly be heard as the Millennium Nightclub closed for the night, but that was not what worried them. Loud angered voices calling out, "Yami you fucking brat get your ass back here now before we call our Master". Yami cringed and tried to sit up, "I must go back, they will call Valick otherwise and he will find me," he stated only for a wave of pain to run through him and he collapsed back against the roof.
"You are not going anywhere Yami," snapped Seto, "Joey keep an eye on the street with West, Blade watch the alleyway, I'll stay with my cousin". Nodding obediently they saluted and dashed to their positions.
"Yami, get back here right now you little fucking bitch," Frost's voice rang loud and clear. Squirming underneath Seto Yami tried to sit up, "let me go, I do not need you all to get hurt by them, if they call Valick then his elite guard will swiftly follow. Slayers do not stand much of a chance against them". Growling Seto pulled Yami into a tight embrace and spoke into his ear, "I'd prefer to die then have you go back to a life of hell with that asshole". Squirming and trying to ignore the wave of pain an nausea that ran through him tried to push Seto away, "and I would rather go back to him than watch you be killed. Let me go".
"That's considered kidnapping you know," snapped a voice from close by. Their heads turned and were slapped heavily in the faces with a gust of wind as they stared up at their foe. Valick stood with ten of his elite guard behind him, while two other's were on Joey, West, and Blade. Each if they moved would sever their jugulars slaying themselves almost instantly. Their predicament was horrible; fate was not on their side.
Growling Seto rose to his feet picking Yami up in the same fashion that the vampire had done to Mia. Narrowing his eyes he glared with loathing and disgust at Valick as the vampire stood casually, his hair and cape flapping towards them from the wind. Yami's fear had taken a hold of him and he was still in Seto's arms his eyes locked with Valick's soulless black ones.
"And why do you say that, he is my own cousin I would not kidnap him," Seto snapped. Chuckling in his deep spin chilling tone Valick took a step forward, "when the person is unwilling it is considered kidnapping, as well as taking an unwilling partner to bed is rape, and killing someone that did not want it is murder. Yami seems to not want to go with you in fear of your safety, for once he is using his intelligence wisely," stated the vampire as he smiled devilishly.
Growling again Seto took a step back, "well if it will save him then I will kidnap him, he'll be better off with me than he will be with you, you fiend from the depths of hell". Shrugging Valick raised his hand into the air and snapped his fingers as he took several steps towards the young slayer, "if you care about your comrades you would hand my child, my son, and my heir to the throne, back to me".
Glancing around at his comrades Seto hissed in displeasure, they all had been forced to the roofs surface with the swords pressed so tightly against their skin that a small trickle of blood flowed down. Biting his lip Seto pondered on what to do, he had no choice, hopefully he would get another chance at seeing him.
"Fine, take him," he snapped in reluctance. Valick chuckled, "that's a good man, give him here," he said and strode forward enough so that there was only a few paces between them. Sighing Seto pressed his mouth to Yami's ear, "when you heal and can escape again, meet me here, I will come every night," he whispered so that only Yami could hear him. Giving a curt nod Yami pressed a kiss to his cousin's brow, Seto could feel the tremble of fear within the soft lips before they removed themselves from him and he felt the weight in his arms being torn away.
Yami's whimper of pain and terror struck a core in Seto and he felt tears come into his eyes, he clenched his fists and watched as Valick simply smiled at him, held Yami closer, and bending his knees launched himself into the air, his men rapidly following. His cerulean eyes watched as the creatures of the night soared through the air towards their hide out, wherever that was.
Gentle hands touched his shoulder and he turned to see Joey staring straight at him, "well get him back, just have patience". Releasing a shaky breath Seto returned his gaze to the sky, "I know we will, but I worry about what Valick will do to him because of his sneaking off, and his meeting up with us and actually conversing with us".
"We will find out soon enough, remember the statue within our home will show the wounds that are inflicted upon him, it always have, though few notice it for it only remains there for a matter of hours. I have seen it upon many occasions, we must watch the statue tonight to see what happens," West stated in a reminding tone.
Blade scowled, "then lets head home, I'm getting rather bored and our mission was abandoned". Nodding reluctantly Seto followed his comrades back home.

They dropped heavily onto the roof of the castle, Yami held back a groan of pain from the jolt but it was quickly pushed out of his mind as Valick carried him away down a set of torch lit stairs into the building. The vampire's steps were heavily and infuriated, the boy closed his eyes in fear, he knew that Valick was absolutely furious with him, so much so that he probably wont be able to walk for several days from his injuries. Oh Ra was he in trouble.
A door was pushed open and Yami opened his eyes as he heard Frost's furious voice bark out, "You little bastard, how dare you sneak away from us".
"Shut your trap Frost, it's your irresponsibility that allowed him to be able to slip off so easily. If the slayers had noticed who he was and not injured him he would have been in the ministry of Slayers by the time you left that club," snapped Valick as he unceremoniously dropped Yami on a chair in the centre of the room.
Yami growled at the wave of pain that ripped through his head but glared up defiantly at Valick as the vampire bore down upon him. The vampire gave a grunt before moving away towards Frost and Bakura who were sitting comfortably upon a leather sofa behind him. Hard slaps of flesh against flesh could be heard along with screams of anguish and the tearing of flesh. Hearing that one of Valick's lectures was about to begin he slouched in his seat and tried to get comfortable.
"You were supposed to be watching him not gala banding after gorgeous women to get fucked by. He is your charge and he will slip away from imbeciles like you because you are so stupid as not to pay attention to him. You turn your gaze from him for a minuet and he will sneak away and you will barely notice the fact that he has.
"You stupid ignorant bastards you should be the ones getting the full blunt of this punishment, ugh," growled Valick as he sank his claws viciously into the two vampires shoulders, "but he was stupid enough to take advantage of your irresponsibility so fortunately for you you will only loose you tiny prides and joys that make you male. Guards".
Yami watched as six of the elite guard rushed past him from the doorway in a blur of black cloaks and seized up two kicking a screaming vampires and dragged them howling out of the room. His heart sank as the door was slammed shut, it was his turn now.
Rustling could be heard from behind him and Yami could decipher it as Valick removing his cloak and releasing some of his temper as he glared into the mirror, a habit that Yami was accustomed to. Feet stomped upon the ground and he forced himself to sit up straight in his seat only to groan in anguish as sharp nails dug into his shoulders.
"What made you think that you could escape from me," hissed the familiar voice into his ear, "how could you ever escape me, my blood is trapped within your veins from your vile attempt to kill me when you first became what you are".
"Don't remind me," Yami snapped only to cringe in pain as Valick put more pressure behind his nails. Feeling Valick smirk against he neck he tried to pull away, "ah but what would be the fun in that, reminding you of how you tried to kill a master vampire by biting him, only to find that the blood burned your body and caused you to twist and cry out in unbearable pain and beg me to stop it as I dealt out your penalty to add to your anguish".
Growling Yami tried to pull away, but it was in vain for Valick spun the chair around and dug his claws into his arms, pinning them to the armrests of the old French styled chair. Throwing his head back he held back a cry, "bastard stop, I do as I please and you better learn to live with it," he snapped as tears began to form in his eyes.
"Oh really, is that so, well then I might have to drill into your head the fact that you belong to me, my son," snapped the vampire raising a hand into the air. Yami lifted his freed arm to cover his face and kicked out at the vampire's abdomen knocking him to the floor, "shut up, Kayden is my Father, not you, you made me into a monster, you made my life a living hell".
Chuckling Valick rose to his feet and reaching forward grabbed both of the boy's wrists and held them out with one of his own hands so that Yami could not shield himself, "I gave you all anyone could ever want, I gave you strength, I gave you immortality, I gave you something that made you even more attractive than you already were. I gave you richest beyond your belief, I have made you the next ruler of vampires, I have given you a new and more beautiful life".
"Get off of me," Yami yelled trying to twist his arms free from the vampire, but Valick held his hands firm and raised his free hand to the boy's face. Nails out and sharp he ran then over Yami's bronze skin all the while creating a long trail of bloody marks, "you just don't want to admit that this life is beautiful, that you love it".
"I have nothing," bellowed Yami, "my life is hell because of you, you fucking half breed get off of me". That always struck a core. Yami was the only one that knew that he became a master vampire because one bit him, and he immediately killed that same one and stole the throne. That was the only reason why he was so mighty.
A snarl spread across Valick's face as he glared down at the boy he had trapped below him, panic rose within Yami's mind he should not have said that and he knew it. The anger upon Valick's normally placid face told him so, last time he said that his back had been so badly ripped apart that he was surprised that he could still walk never mind being as mobile as he had been before hand.
The vampire's firm hand jerked him forward roughly by his captured wrists; pain engulfed him as the familiar sharp nails dug heavily into his now exposed back. Biting his lip as to not show his pain he glared up heatedly into Valick's eyes. The vampire smiled at him in an almost fatherly way then pulled his hand up roughly with his nails still embedded in Yami's flesh. Yami gasped as Valick growled out, "call me that again, and I will make sure that I mangle your spin so badly that walking will permanently be out of the question for you".
"Well you would like that wouldn't you, I would not be able to run away from you anymore," he stated. Valick chuckled, "do you want that my child because," he pulled his embedded digits up again and gained another gasp of pain from the boy, "I will be most willing to do it".
"I'll pass thanks," Yami snapped feeling warm blood begin to run in a steady river down his back. Smiling Valick leaned forward and pressed his bared fangs against the boy's neck, "are you sure, as you said it would please me, and pleasing me would help you at the moment". Blinking Yami shook his head, "I think not".
"Hmm, have it your way," said Valick only to pull up rougher than before and rip his hand out of Yami's back gaining a pained scream from the boy's throat. Felling Yami slump against him weakly he chuckled, "do you like that feeling Yami, should I make sure that both sides have felt that same treatment". Weakly Yami shook his head, that only fuel Valick to do more, smiling Valick put the boy's two wrists into his opposite hand and sank the other one into Yami's back. A moan of disapproval reached him and he pulled up hard but this time did not stop, he kept going until he was up to Yami's shoulders before pulling out.
"Stop," Yami screamed as his back arched from the pain, "please". Chuckling Valick put his mouth back against the boy's ear, "but my child I am just getting started, why stop now when I can give you more unbearable pleasure". A whimper of fear escaped Yami as he felt Valick reach away somewhere only for his wrists to be tightly bound and draped over the vampires neck like a necklace.
"Please don't, I wont run off again I promise," Yami protested as Valick's nails lightly ran along the sores on his back and stopped just below his underarms. Shaking his head Valick sank his nails in and with the swiftness of a cobra pulled them down in a diagonal line towards Yami's stomach, the boy whimpered in pain and he slowed down dragging out Yami's suffering.
"I am sorry my child," he stated pulling his nails out and ripping off Yami's jacket while tearing the sleeves, "but I must make sure that you have learned your lesson". Yami shook his head as he felt the nails pierce his lower back just above his pants, "no, please". He knew he was pleading but he did not care, the pain was unbearable. Valick sighed and pulled his nails through Yami's flesh around his waistline, "but I must child, you need to understand that.
"You must learn not to run off, you must learn not to insult me, you must learn to obey me," he snapped and digging his nails into Yami's sides lifted the boy from the chair and held him up in the air like a two year old child, "you must learn".

Seto slapped a hand over his mouth as he stared up at the familiar statue within the centre of the immense grey stoned castle that they lived in. He watched as wound after wound appeared on the form of the Pharaoh as he held the pulled in his hands before his waist. Area's glowed on the torso that showed broken ribs, purple marks show bruises that were beginning to form all over, and red showed the wounds that tore flesh. Most of them being from the waist up. A pale glow of blue that encompassed the head showed that he had a concussion and the darker it got the more severe the concussion became.
Joey's arm around his shoulder's helped comfort him as tears sprang into his eyes, how could someone do this to someone so young, Yami was only fifteen.
Other's around them stared up at the statue in shock, all of them were slayers, all of them in a squadron or were scientists. Fear and pity showed clearly in their eyes and faces as they stared at the statue. Seto heard his Father's voice whisper a prayer nearby.
"Oh mighty Ra and grand Horus, please relieve him from this pain, stop this".

Hearing Valick's deep voice yell out he groaned as he lay upon the rug, which was drenched in his blood. His shirt had long since been removed and the left leg of his pants was ripped beyond repair. He was shaking, from both the pain and the cold that hit his body from the open balcony doors.
Gentle hands grasped him and flipped him onto his back before lifting him up and carrying him away. Doors were slammed then moments later a double doorway was opened and he could tell that they were entering his room. His blood and the darkness that was slowly enveloping him clouded his vision. A soft mattress could be felt underneath him as who ever it was that had been carried him laid him down.
His clothing was stripped off and two sets of hands, one feminine and the other male cleaned the blood off of him as best of they could with warm damp cloths before they wrapped his wounds with linen bandages after an ointment was rubbed gently over them. Moaning he opened his single eye that was not covered by the bandages and stared up at the two people that were helping him as they slipped a loose linen tunic over his head.
Scarlet, damn her why must she always try to gain his affection. Ignoring that he sighed and saw a vampire much like him, he had half of his soul and was most certainly his only true friend. He was Angel, another vampire that was rather rebellious to Valick, but was also the only doctor within the premises.
"Scarlet leave," he demanded in a weak and horse voice. She glared at him, "you are in no position to demand anything," she snapped. He glared at her through one eye, "You can come back in after I speak to Angel then, just get out". Clenching her fists she stormed out of the room slamming the doors shut behind her.
Sighing Angel sat on the edge of the bed, "Horus should be coming back soon, I just let him out an hour ago". Yami made an attempt to nod only to be filled with searing pain, Angel's gentle hands placed themselves on Yami's hand, "take it easy bud, he did a number on you this time".
"Seto, I met him," Yami said weakly. Angel smiled brightly, "you did, but why did he not take you away with him," he asked. Yami blinked and glanced at the window, "because he tried but his comrades would have been killed if he did not give me back. He did not have a choice, but he will help me escape, he promised". Angel gently ran his hand over the un-injured side of Yami's face, "I'm sure that he will follow through with it, now I will make sure that Scarlet does not come in here, but I will stay until Horus comes in then I will close the window. I do not need you to catch a sickness on top of your injuries".
"You're the best Angel, remember that," Yami stated before wincing from the pain.
"And you need to rest, ah there is our dear old Hours," said the vampire as wings could be heard flapping into the room. The falcon landed gracefully on the headboard and gave a small sound of disapproval as he stared down at his master. Yami sighed, "come Horus, lay on the pillow tonight," he asked, "keep me company". The bird seemed to nod and hopping down laid down upon the pill beside Yami's head and nipped affectionately at the boy's spiky hair.
"Sleep well Yami, I'll come in and check on you tomorrow," stated Angel as he went about and closed the black curtains and the wooden shutters over the doors to stop the sunlight from leaking in. Then he kissed Yami's brow like an older brother would before leaving. Yami heard the door being locked and Scarlet's angered words. But he sighed and lifting his one good hand gave Horus a gentle stroke before closing his eyes allowing unconsciousness to envelope him.
A/N: Hallelujah that is done, next chappie will be done eventually. Anyway review please.

Chapter Four
A gasp of disbelief and hope escaped his throat as he stared up into Seto's gentle cerulean eyes. Could this be true, was this really him, would he trust me, would he hurt me, were all questions that formed in Yami's head as his fiery gaze locked with the watery ones of Seto's. His hands began to tremble as his vision drifted to full focus; he recognized Seto's face from a picture that his father had shown him the night before he was taken. How could anyone else have eyes as precious as that, it had to be him.
"Seto," he questioned in a whisper tone and lifting one of his hands ran his digits over his cousin's smooth skin, "can it be". Smiling the young slayer placed his larger hand over that of Yami's upon his face, "it is me, oh great Ra I never thought I would see you again". Yami blinked in confusion, "again, we have never met".
"We have kiddo," stated Blade as he knelt down on the other side of Yami, "we were the two slayers who came to help you, don't you remember". Exhaling a deep and shaky breath Yami nodded, "your face I remember, and his voice I do, but I never saw his face except in a single picture in the house. This is too good to be real, nothing good has happened to me for a year," he whispered.
Sighing Seto gently put his hand under Yami's head and cringed at the feeling of warm blood upon his fingertips. Shaking his head he lifted his gaze to Westly, "he will have an intense concussion for this," he said in a stern tone. Crossing his arms West gave the boy vampire a sympathetic look, "I'm sorry about that, it was only a reaction". Yami gave a weak smile, "I've had far worse West, trust me, the wound you inflicted upon me is like a scratch compared to most of my others".
Seto's cerulean eyes narrowed dangerously and went immediately cold and icy, "what do you mean by that," he demanded. Yami stared up at him with hesitancy, then he turned his gaze away, "Valick inflicts injuries upon me when I disobey him or try and run off to find the Ministry. They take a week to heal or more, even with my vampirism it takes a long time". Growling Seto slammed one of his fists onto the concrete beside them, "damn that bastard".
Rustling and voices could suddenly be heard as the Millennium Nightclub closed for the night, but that was not what worried them. Loud angered voices calling out, "Yami you fucking brat get your ass back here now before we call our Master". Yami cringed and tried to sit up, "I must go back, they will call Valick otherwise and he will find me," he stated only for a wave of pain to run through him and he collapsed back against the roof.
"You are not going anywhere Yami," snapped Seto, "Joey keep an eye on the street with West, Blade watch the alleyway, I'll stay with my cousin". Nodding obediently they saluted and dashed to their positions.
"Yami, get back here right now you little fucking bitch," Frost's voice rang loud and clear. Squirming underneath Seto Yami tried to sit up, "let me go, I do not need you all to get hurt by them, if they call Valick then his elite guard will swiftly follow. Slayers do not stand much of a chance against them". Growling Seto pulled Yami into a tight embrace and spoke into his ear, "I'd prefer to die then have you go back to a life of hell with that asshole". Squirming and trying to ignore the wave of pain an nausea that ran through him tried to push Seto away, "and I would rather go back to him than watch you be killed. Let me go".
"That's considered kidnapping you know," snapped a voice from close by. Their heads turned and were slapped heavily in the faces with a gust of wind as they stared up at their foe.

Biting his lip Seto pondered on what to do, he had no choice, hopefully he would get another chance at seeing him.
"Fine, take him," he snapped in reluctance. Valick chuckled, "that's a good man, give him here," he said and strode forward enough so that there was only a few paces between them. Sighing Seto pressed his mouth to Yami's ear, "when you heal and can escape again, meet me here, I will come every night," he whispered so that only Yami could hear him.

"Don't remind me," Yami snapped only to cringe in pain as Valick put more pressure behind his nails. Feeling Valick smirk against he neck he tried to pull away, "ah but what would be the fun in that, reminding you of how you tried to kill a master vampire by biting him, only to find that the blood burned your body and caused you to twist and cry out in unbearable pain and beg me to stop it as I dealt out your penalty to add to your anguish".
Growling Yami tried to pull away, but it was in vain for Valick spun the chair around and dug his claws into his arms, pinning them to the armrests of the old French styled chair. Throwing his head back he held back a cry, "bastard stop, I do as I please and you better learn to live with it," he snapped as tears began to form in his eyes.

I gave you richest beyond your belief, I have made you the next ruler of vampires, I have given you a new and more beautiful life".
"Get off of me," Yami yelled trying to twist his arms free from the vampire, but Valick held his hands firm and raised his free hand to the boy's face. Nails out and sharp he ran then over Yami's bronze skin all the while creating a long trail of bloody marks, "you just don't want to admit that this life is beautiful, that you love it".
"I have nothing," bellowed Yami, "my life is hell because of you, you fucking half breed get off of me". That always struck a core. Yami was the only one that knew that he became a master vampire because one bit him, and he immediately killed that same one and stole the throne. That was the only reason why he was so mighty.
A snarl spread across Valick's face as he glared down at the boy he had trapped below him, panic rose within Yami's mind he should not have said that and he knew it. The anger upon Valick's normally placid face told him so, last time he said that his back had been so badly ripped apart that he was surprised that he could still walk never mind being as mobile as he had been before hand.
The vampire's firm hand jerked him forward roughly by his captured wrists; pain engulfed him as the familiar sharp nails dug heavily into his now exposed back. Biting his lip as to not show his pain he glared up heatedly into Valick's eyes. The vampire smiled at him in an almost fatherly way then pulled his hand up roughly with his nails still embedded in Yami's flesh. Yami gasped as Valick growled out, "call me that again, and I will make sure that I mangle your spin so badly that walking will permanently be out of the question for you".
"Well you would like that wouldn't you, I would not be able to run away from you anymore," he stated. Valick chuckled, "do you want that my child because," he pulled his embedded digits up again and gained another gasp of pain from the boy, "I will be most willing to do it".
"I'll pass thanks," Yami snapped feeling warm blood begin to run in a steady river down his back. Smiling Valick leaned forward and pressed his bared fangs against the boy's neck, "are you sure, as you said it would please me, and pleasing me would help you at the moment". Blinking Yami shook his head, "I think not".
"Hmm, have it your way," said Valick only to pull up rougher than before and rip his hand out of Yami's back gaining a pained scream from the boy's throat. Felling Yami slump against him weakly he chuckled, "do you like that feeling Yami, should I make sure that both sides have felt that same treatment". Weakly Yami shook his head, that only fuel Valick to do more, smiling Valick put the boy's two wrists into his opposite hand and sank the other one into Yami's back. A moan of disapproval reached him and he pulled up hard but this time did not stop, he kept going until he was up to Yami's shoulders before pulling out.
"Stop," Yami screamed as his back arched from the pain, "please". Chuckling Valick put his mouth back against the boy's ear, "but my child I am just getting started, why stop now when I can give you more unbearable pleasure". A whimper of fear escaped Yami as he felt Valick reach away somewhere only for his wrists to be tightly bound and draped over the vampires neck like a necklace.
"Please don't, I wont run off again I promise," Yami protested as Valick's nails lightly ran along the sores on his back and stopped just below his underarms. Shaking his head Valick sank his nails in and with the swiftness of a cobra pulled them down in a diagonal line towards Yami's stomach, the boy whimpered in pain and he slowed down dragging out Yami's suffering.
"I am sorry my child," he stated pulling his nails out and ripping off Yami's jacket while tearing the sleeves, "but I must make sure that you have learned your lesson". Yami shook his head as he felt the nails pierce his lower back just above his pants, "no, please". He knew he was pleading but he did not care, the pain was unbearable. Valick sighed and pulled his nails through Yami's flesh around his waistline, "but I must child, you need to understand that.
"You must learn not to run off, you must learn not to insult me, you must learn to obey me," he snapped and digging his nails into Yami's sides lifted the boy from the chair and held him up in the air like a two year old child, "you must learn".

Seto slapped a hand over his mouth as he stared up at the familiar statue within the centre of the immense grey stoned castle that they lived in. He watched as wound after wound appeared on the form of the Pharaoh as he held the pulled in his hands before his waist. Area's glowed on the torso that showed broken ribs, purple marks show bruises that were beginning to form all over, and red showed the wounds that tore flesh. Most of them being from the waist up. A pale glow of blue that encompassed the head showed that he had a concussion and the darker it got the more severe the concussion became.
Joey's arm around his shoulder's helped comfort him as tears sprang into his eyes, how could someone do this to someone so young, Yami was only fifteen.
Other's around them stared up at the statue in shock, all of them were slayers, all of them in a squadron or were scientists. Fear and pity showed clearly in their eyes and faces as they stared at the statue. Seto heard his Father's voice whisper a prayer nearby.
"Oh mighty Ra and grand Horus, please relieve him from this pain, stop this".

Hearing Valick's deep voice yell out he groaned as he lay upon the rug, which was drenched in his blood. His shirt had long since been removed and the left leg of his pants was ripped beyond repair. He was shaking, from both the pain and the cold that hit his body from the open balcony doors.
Gentle hands grasped him and flipped him onto his back before lifting him up and carrying him away. Doors were slammed then moments later a double doorway was opened and he could tell that they were entering his room. His blood and the darkness that was slowly enveloping him clouded his vision. A soft mattress could be felt underneath him as who ever it was that had been carried him laid him down.
His clothing was stripped off and two sets of hands, one feminine and the other male cleaned the blood off of him as best of they could with warm damp cloths before they wrapped his wounds with linen bandages after an ointment was rubbed gently over them. Moaning he opened his single eye that was not covered by the bandages and stared up at the two people that were helping him as they slipped a loose linen tunic over his head.
Scarlet, damn her why must she always try to gain his affection. Ignoring that he sighed and saw a vampire much like him, he had half of his soul and was most certainly his only true friend. He was Angel, another vampire that was rather rebellious to Valick, but was also the only doctor within the premises.
"Scarlet leave," he demanded in a weak and horse voice. She glared at him, "you are in no position to demand anything," she snapped. He glared at her through one eye, "You can come back in after I speak to Angel then, just get out". Clenching her fists she stormed out of the room slamming the doors shut behind her.
Sighing Angel sat on the edge of the bed, "Horus should be coming back soon, I just let him out an hour ago". Yami made an attempt to nod only to be filled with searing pain, Angel's gentle hands placed themselves on Yami's hand, "take it easy bud, he did a number on you this time".
"Seto, I met him," Yami said weakly. Angel smiled brightly, "you did, but why did he not take you away with him," he asked. Yami blinked and glanced at the window, "because he tried but his comrades would have been killed if he did not give me back. He did not have a choice, but he will help me escape, he promised". Angel gently ran his hand over the un-injured side of Yami's face, "I'm sure that he will follow through with it, now I will make sure that Scarlet does not come in here, but I will stay until Horus comes in then I will close the window. I do not need you to catch a sickness on top of your injuries".
"You're the best Angel, remember that," Yami stated before wincing from the pain.
"And you need to rest, ah there is our dear old Hours," said the vampire as wings could be heard flapping into the room. The falcon landed gracefully on the headboard and gave a small sound of disapproval as he stared down at his master. Yami sighed, "come Horus, lay on the pillow tonight," he asked, "keep me company". The bird seemed to nod and hopping down laid down upon the pill beside Yami's head and nipped affectionately at the boy's spiky hair.
"Sleep well Yami, I'll come in and check on you tomorrow," stated Angel as he went about and closed the black curtains and the wooden shutters over the doors to stop the sunlight from leaking in. Then he kissed Yami's brow like an older brother would before leaving. Yami heard the door being locked and Scarlet's angered words. But he sighed and lifting his one good hand gave Horus a gentle stroke before closing his eyes allowing unconsciousness to envelope him.
