CHAPTER FIVE
"Wake up brat," snapped Bakura's voice clearly as the bedroom door was forced heavily open. Groaning Yami rubbed his eyes in an innocent way only to realize who it was that had stormed into his room. Sitting up and ignoring the sheering pain that ran through him he was only able to blink before rough hands grabbed him and forced him to his feet. Staggering Yami nearly fell only for someone to steady him with hands that were equally as rough.
Blinking once he glanced at the two vampires holding him, he should have known. Bakura and Frost forced him to walk on week and unsteady feet out into the hallway. Stumbling he held back a groan as he was led down the stairs. The other vampires in the house looked up at them from their position in the sitting room and immediately turned off the music that rang loudly through the house.
"Where are you taking me," Yami demanded as they reached the bottom on the stairs. Smiling Frost squeezed harder on the boy's arm, "you are coming with us outside for a little chat". Narrowing his eyes Yami glared up at them suspiciously as the door was opened and he was led outside.
He shivered as bitter cold water splashed against his body. It was raining and all he was in was a linen tunic and bandages. What were they planning to do? Suddenly he was tossed to the ground and landed on his hands and knees, panting and in intense pain. He stayed like that trying to regain his breath as the cold rain water pounded down upon him soaking his through making the tunic see through and showed were all the bandages were upon his battered body. But he could not remain like that for long.
A sword was pressed across his throat from behind and an arm snaked around his waist and pulled him up into a sitting position. Groaning he closed his eyes, "Valick will kill you if you kill me," he reminded. Chuckling Bakura whispered against Yami's ear, "he wont be able to, hell be dead before he knows that you are gone".
His eyes went wide, how was he supposed to get out of this one.

His eyes snapped open and he sat up straight in bed panting and his body shivered from the cold sweat upon his brow. Blinking he glanced around, lightning flashed outside and lit the room up, he could see nothing. Sighing he rose to his feet and slipping a housecoat on strode over to one of the windows. Staring out into the pounding rain he scowled, why did he feel like something bad was happening to his cousin, something worse than last night.
Turning he saw Joey sleeping soundly in his bed, oblivious to the rain storm outside, the blonde muttered something before rolling onto his side and putting his back to Seto. He was about to go over to his bed only to hear a knock on the window. Gasping in surprise he fumbled for the sword by the edge of the bed and pointed it at the figure in the window only to recognize him. It was their spy and friend from the vampire home.
"Angel," he snapped opening the window, "you gave me a heart attack, what are you doing here in the middle of a rain storm". The vampire's face was the exact opposite of cheerful as it usually was, this puzzled Seto to no end, "what is it," he asked. The vampire sighed and sat down on a chair while Seto closed the window, "I have something that I need to tell you, and I am going to need your help". Nodding Seto urged him on.
"Your cousin Yami, I have known him the whole time that he has been a vampire, I never told you because it was too dangerous, Valick might have figured me out right away. I am his physician and friend, right now I am worried about his life," Angel expounded. Seto glanced at Joey before sitting down in another chair beside the small table that was used to work, "why". Sighing Angel looked up at him, "Frost and Bakura were ranting all through the morning about how they were going to kill both Yami and Valick tonight. So far they are following through with it. I left just as I saw them force Yami to his feet".
Standing up Seto quickly dressed not caring that Angel was watching him before he strode over to Joey and shook him into alertness, "wake up we have a mission to do". Joey glared up at him, "since when, and what about," he demanded as he sat up groggily and rubbed his eyes. Seto scowled, "Frost and Bakura are going to kill Yami, we have to go and bring him back here right now. You go wake up West, I'll get Blade," the teen nodded as Seto signalled for Angel to follow him as he left the room.
Pounding on the door Seto pushed it open, "come on Blade we have a rescue mission to do," he called out at he watched as his comrade sat up in bed and glared at him. Standing up and dressing Blade glanced at Angel as he took his sword from Seto, "and whom are we rescuing".
"My cousin," Seto answered, "come on".
Going back out into the hallway they met up immediately with Joey and West. Without saying a word Seto led them down the maze of a castle that they lived in and out the front door into the pounding rain. Luckily they had not woken anyone and were able to slip out of the grounds without a check.
From there they sprinted as fast as they could towards the vampire's castle with Angel leading the way. The four slayers barely noticed the pouring rain and the drenching of their leather clothing, all they were thinking about was how they were going to do this, and if Yami was still alive.
As they left the city perimeter Blade glared at Angel, "where is that castle, should we not be able to see it if it is right outside of the city," he demanded. The vampire shook his head, "no, it's invisible to the human eye unless they are shown it, and there it is," stated the vampire pointing ahead of them.
Looking up the four of them gasped in surprise. Right in front of them was the immense grey stoned castle of the vampires. Music could be heard playing loudly from the open front gates, and lights were on through out the building making it glow eerily in the darkness around them.
Stopping in front of the five-foot perimeter walls they peered over and scanned the grounds. They saw nothing until suddenly Joey pointed to the corner nearest to them. Turning their gazes they saw movement and were soon able to decipher three figures. One was upon his knees with another holding some sort of object to his neck from behind while the other stood with his arms crossed casually. They were easy to distinguish and Seto signalled for them to crawl over the wall and creep over to the corner as quietly as possible. They only had one chance at this.
They remained unnoticed as the knelt down behind a bush by where the trio were. Keeping quiet they listened to what was being said as best as they could over the pounding rain.
"I'd like to see you try and kill him, he'll hear you even before you enter his room, you'll never be able to," argued Yami, his voice showing weakness from his injuries. Chuckling Frost cuffed the boy across the face, "we will be able to do it, he wont even know what hit him, even if he does wake up he'll be too groggy to react fast enough to our assault". Yami chuckled as best his could with a wounded jaw, "I'd like to see that happen".
"Only one problem," stated Bakura, "you'll be dead and in ashes before we'll get to him".
Glancing at his comrades Seto signalled for them to spring forward while pointing at who would have who. Grasping Angel's arm he whispered, "get Yami and get out of here as soon as we have the two distracted. Get him back to the castle and treat him properly for his injuries. We will be right behind you," he commanded, nodding Angel got ready.
Giving the signal they dove forward towards the vampires. West swept his sword down and cut cleanly down Bakura's back making the vamp arch and scream from the pain, thus letting go of Yami he collapsed to the ground exhaustedly. Joey rushed forward and drove his sword through Bakura's exposed head, looking up he saw the flash of Seto's blade as he swung it level with Frost's head, as the vampire was about to dive forward.
Gently Angel flipped Yami over onto his back, the boy groaned and stared up at him in surprise, Angel hushed him only to lift him into his arms and sprint towards the wall. Bounding over it with practiced ease he ran as fast as he could through the rain towards the castle. What worried him as he ran was that Yami was not making any noise of protest or of pain, something he should have been doing. Glancing down he bit his lip in dismay as he left the main city area and stepped onto the grass area that separated the slayers from the people in the city. Yami was unconscious.
"Stop where you are," snapped a deep threatening voice from in front of him. Stumbling Angel stopped in his tracks and glanced up and gave a gasp of dismay, the Elite Guard of Valick were standing before him the steel blades of their swords reflecting off the light from the lightning. Their eyes were cold and dull as they stared at him with placing faces.
"Hand him over," demanded the same one reaching out his free hand. Shaking his head Angel reached down to his hip and grasped the hilt to his sword, "no, he is not going back there". A groan caught the attention of everyone and looking down Angel's eyes flashed with relief, Yami's eyes were open and he seemed to be somewhat alert. The boy had a chance to run if he distracted the guard, they were only a few meters from the ministry building, all Yami had to do was slip in.
Help arrived and Joey stood alongside him, "Seto and the other's are coming, they ran into more of the guards onto the street, I'm supposed to help". Nodding Angel set Yami on his feet, "I need you to run Yami, I know that your condition is not good enough for you but I need you to, this is your only chance to get to the Ministry of Vampire Slayers. Go please," he whispered into Yami's ear.
The boy shook his head, "and leave you here to deal with them alone, never," he protested. Angel sighed, "please Yami, just do it, don't argue with me," he said in a sterner voice. Reluctantly Yami nodded and stepped away from Angel on unsteady and numb legs.
Suddenly with the flick of a cloak the guards sprang forward, immediately Angel and Joey sprang in front of Yami and deflected the swords of two of the guards. Grunting Angel pushed against his enemy's sword before glancing back at Yami, "go now," he bellowed before turning back to the vampire.
Reluctantly Yami ran as hard as his could on his wounded limbs as the sound of metal upon metal and angered cried filled his ears from behind along with the roars of thunder and splashing of water under his bare feet. Hitting the concrete he stumbled and leaned against a building, panting he looked up and saw a large castle in front of him by a about ten feet. Hearing a scream of pain behind him he closed his eyes, that was Angel he recognized it. Desperately he kept his gaze forward and ran blinded by the rain towards the castle and it's enclosed ground.
Slipping through the open steel gates he fell to his knees, blackness was slowly enveloping his vision from exhaustion and pain. Panting he held back a sob of pain and sorrow he forced himself to his feet and ran down the stone path and up a set of stairs were he found himself out of the rain. Gasping for breath he grasped the handle of the double doors and pulled it open as best as he could in his weakened and numb condition.
Staggering into the buildings warmth he dropped to his knees on the stone floor. Tears flowed down his cheeks mingling with the rainwater that had soaked him. Lifting his gaze he sat a large statue before him within a large fountain of water. The statue has spiked hair like him and the same body shape, that startled him but something drew his attention away from it and towards movement and voices near by.
A man whom looked like an older version of Seto dashed down the stairs in a nightshirt and housecoat. He cried out something but Yami did not catch it, his vision clouded over in darkness and he fell forward towards the stone floor.
A/N: hello hello, I am back again. This may be the last chappie I can get in before I go to my grandparents on Wednesday till Sunday, but u never know, I might be able to get another one in. So sorry about the shortness, but I did not want to continue what would happen next or it would never be up. LOL any way, bye bye, and review please.
