Dammit, this is taking me so long to update each time. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I am so sorry that it takes this long, I skate like three hours every night, none including the synchro practices, the only time I can really write is on the weekend, if I am actually at home or am not loaded to my neck with essays and short stories and what not for school. I know this may sound like an excuse but it's not. Thank you all so much for your patience.
/Yami speaking/
Pharaoh speaking
Chapter FourteenEntering the room at a run Seto stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw the scene before him, as did Joey and Atemu. Yami had broken free of the chains that had been incarcerating him; it took several men to restrain him from causing any damage to the other's in the room. Adria stood trying to get a needle ready to inject the vampire and sedate him. Seto stared straight into Yami's eyes, the shade was such a dark shade of red that they appeared to be black, they were nearly soulless, very little emotion was showing in them except raging anger.
Atemu bit his lip and glanced around the room, seeing Lostris trembling in a corner he dashed over to her and held her to him, "it's alright, I'm here," he assured as she clung to him in fear.
"GET OFF," bellowed Yami as he struggled wildly, "Fucking humans let go".
"Oh there's not a chance in hell that we are going to do that Yami," stated Seto seeing that this was clearly not his cousin, "Blade go in there and restrain him please". Nodding Blade did as asked and was able to hold Yami on his own long enough that Adria was able to inject the sedative into his hip. Yami gave a small groan before his body slackened like dead eel in Blade's arms, sighing Blade lifted Yami up and placed him back down on the table. The other slayers came in immediately and replaced the chains with cuffs made of titanium and crystal.
Atemu led Crystal to her father whom stood in the doorway, sighing he turned to his charge and held back an expression of sorrow. Striding over he put one hand on either side of the vampire's head and stared at him with a hard and heated gaze, immediately he could detect Yami's spirit within him frightened but fighting for control. A growl reached his ears, blinking he noticed that it was Yami, "where is Valick," came the demand.
"I would hope that he is dead," Atemu snapped after waving at the slayers telling them to leave him in the room alone. Hearing the sounds of fading footsteps and the door closing he stared hard into Yami's eyes, "and deep inside so do you".
"Heh," chuckled Yami with a cocky smile upon his face, "yeah, in your dreams there dress boy. Valick is my king, my Father, and the one who gave me this perfect body and life, heh I don't want for him to be dead, but if he is I will gladly take the vampire throne. So if you please half-breed, you can let me go".
Ignoring the insult Atemu firmly squeezed the vampire's chin in a bruising grip, "in the process of being turned you obviously lost all of your common sense and intellect entirely," he snapped, "otherwise you would know that you are not getting out of here unless you return the real Yami to us and get out of that body".
A loud deep and menacing laugh broke from Yami's figure, "Ha, you crack me up half-breed, I am Yami, and whether you like it or not, I'm not leaving this body, it belongs to me".
"It belongs to Yami Al Fahr," Atemu snapped, "a teenage boy that was unwillingly turned, not a fucking scum bag vampire like you".
Crocking a brow Yami stared up at Atemu incredulously, "such words Atemu, and I thought you said that you would never hurt me, well just because I am a vampire does not mean that I have feelings. But for you, I have none," he snapped before roughly turning the tables. His knee connected with Atemu's stomach sending the former Pharaoh to the ground with a cry.
Gasping in surprise Atemu rose to his feet and glared down at Yami, there was only one other thing he knew might work at the moment. Sighing he un-locked the restraints and took a step back as Yami sat up straight. Smiling the vampire slipped off of the stone table and strode over to Atemu, the Pharaoh kept a straight face and remained firm, "I am rather hungry my old friend".
At that Atemu bit his lip, hopefully this would work, and hopefully the scientist would find that last ingredient soon, oh if only he could remember what it was. Yami shoved him to the floor and followed him in a fluid motion, pulling the gold chocker collar off of the spirit he swooped down but stopped immediately. Blinking Atemu seized his chance, fisting his digits in Yami's spiked locks he forced the vampires head down so that his lips were pressed against the vein in his neck.
"Do it Yami, I'd prefer to be dead then watch you be like this," he said sternly, "do it".
"Fuck off," snapped the vampire.
"Do it Yami, that way I don't have to suffer watching you kill those that you love". Feeling the vampires form begin to tremble Atemu slackened his grip, was it working?
"Atemu, stop please," came that familiar voice in a frightened tone, "please don't make me". Feeling the boy clinging to him Atemu sat up and held Yami to him tightly, rocking him back and forth as the teen began to shed tears of fear, "he's terrifying me Atemu, he's so strong and controlling, he's worse than Valick. I can't beat him when ever we fight for control".
"Hush Yami hush, I'm here little one and I won't ever leave you I promise. I won't let him, this demon within you, hurt you again, I wont. Your too important to me, and I wont loose you again," Atemu, said furiously, "I wont". Pulling back he stared into Yami's eyes expecting to see the crimson shade that he was so used to, but he was startled, pale lavender orbs stared back at him in fear. He gasped, "no wonder you cannot win against him, it's the vampire virus verses a human soul. Viruses infect people, kill them, and torment them, that's exactly what is happening to you. Oh great sweet Ra," he exclaimed, "Guards, guards".
The door opened immediately and two slayers came in prepared to fight but soon found that there was no reason, Atemu stared at them, "hurry go get Seto, I need to speak with him, and tell the scientist to either try the ingredients that can be used to destroy cancer. Go now".
"Yes sir".
As the doors closed Atemu felt Yami stiffen in his arms, glancing down at his charge he bit his lip, Yami was obviously fighting for control, his face was scrunched in both concentration and discomfort, and his fists were viciously clenching his tunic.
"Use your powers on him little one, fight him".
"I'm trying, AH, but he's so strong, he can pick me up as if I am nothing but a children's toy," Yami stated. At that Seto came into the room, seeing the sight before him he panicked and dropped down in front of the two, with gentle touches to the boy's cheeks he encouraged Yami to open his eyes. The two gasped in amazement, the colour of the irises was constantly switching between red and lavender. But clearly the demon within was winning the battle.
"What's going on Atemu," demanded Seto.
"The demon side that every vampire is trying to take control. Yami's one of the few that is able to fight against it. So in other words Seto, he's having an internal physical battle with this demon. And the demons are strong, I don't know how he is going to hold on, I was barely able to," expounded Atemu as Yami's body twisted violently in his grasp, "fight him Yami".
After several long nerve racking, and terrifying moments Yami's body went limp, his torso was the only thing moving, and it was laboured. Atemu was not sure who had won, if the demon had then they should chain him up again, but if Yami had they would only terrify him more. So he waited staring down at the boy's pale and sweat-coated face. Sighing he gently rubbed Yami's cheeks, it was always something that encouraged him to open his eyes. And it worked.
Deep amethyst pools blended with crimson and filled with wounded innocence stared back at him; fear, triumph, and somnolence shawn heavily in them. Giving a small cry of delight Atemu held the boy closer, he had won the battle, for now that is until the demon felt ready to fight again.
"That hurts," Yami said, weakly pushing Atemu away from him slightly, he then signalled towards his neck, "it still hurts". Nodding Atemu pointed towards Seto, turning his gaze Yami smiled brightly up at his cousin whom was staring at his eyes with utter fascination and confusion. Yami sighed, "amethyst is the colour my eyes were when I was still human. Though right now they are probably still tainted with red," he expounded, "since I have yet to have him entirely removed". Seto nodded in comprehension and immediately held his arms open.
Taking the incitation Yami moved out of Atemu's lap and willingly embraced his cousin tightly, Seto sighed with relief, "I'm glade that there is still hope," he murmured.
"Same here," Yami added before moving back, "I just hope the cure is found soon, I don't know how much longer I can hold on. I don't have my vampire strength anymore, he may just crush me the next time and have control again till I can fight".
Suddenly a loud ringing raged through the building, the lights flickered off briefly leaving the three in pure darkness. Then the back up crimson lights flashed on and the three glanced at each other, the ringing still blazing in the building.
Seto sprang to his feet, "that's the alarm, vampire's have breached the building, come let's get out of here," he snapped. Obediently Atemu stood up and lifted Yami's weakened frame with him, Seto supported his cousin's other side and they vacated the room, "we have to find the nearest exit, if we can get out of here, there's a chance that we can get you to safety Yami". The vampire nodded and stumbled alongside his friends, the strength was slowly returning to his limbs, which was comforting just in case he had to fight.
Rounding a corner towards the exit that lead out into the back yard they lifted their head and cried out in shock. Valick stood there with a look a pure loathing upon his face, three of the elite guards stood behind him swords drawn and faces determined.
"Valick," Yami breathed in fear.
The vampire King took a fluid step towards him, "I see that you managed to gain control for a while eh Yami, well it wont remain that way for long, guards get him".
Immediately Seto grasped Yami's elbow and tugged him at a running pace down the hall back towards the main entrance of the Castle. Atemu's voice called out to them, "run, I'll distract him," Yami glanced back over his shoulder just in time to see the Pharaoh grasp hold of a sword from the suits of armour and dash head long at the enemy. Biting his lip he prayed to Horus that he would be all right and continued to run at a breakneck speed alongside Seto.
Stumbling into the entrance around the two of them found themselves in the middle of a battlefield. How they had not heard all the commotion they did not know, but what they did know what that they needed weapons and fast. Joey and West waved at them from the stairwell to the second floor. Frantically Seto pulled Yami in that direction; at first they received terrified expressions from the two, only for them to gaze into Yami's eyes.
"He's human," exclaimed West as he shoved two swords into their hands.
"No, he needs the cure for that, but the human side of him is in control, the demonic right now is dormant, hopefully he will not come out for a while," expounded Seto as he turned and swung heavily at an on coming vampires head.
"Where is Lostris," Yami demanded scanning the crowd.
"She's outside with your Father, Mahado, and Blade. Hurry they need more help out there defending the gates, go," yelled West, obediently Yami dashed towards the door, using his training to parry blows and slay vampires on his way.
Bitter rain pounded down upon him with an intense ferocity that it nearly knocked him back. Growling slightly he dashed head long through the pouring rain. His eyes searched the area around him as he ran, seeing his father in the battle he made his way towards him as best as he could. Seeing the flash of a blade he swung his own up to block the on coming blow. Scowling at the vampire he dropped down upon one knee and swung heavily at his midsection, hitting its mark he heard the fiend above him bellow in pain. Springing to his feet he swung his blade at the vampire's next, again he hit his target, the head was so cleanly cut that it spun once on the neck before toppling towards the ground.
Grunting with satisfaction Yami dashed off towards his father again. Continuously he was stopped, but the next couple times were different. He heard the demon side of his speaking to him, suggesting moves and telling him to use his vampire abilities. A few times the demon showed his colours and slew a few if their enemies with impressive speed and precision.
The next thing that Yami knew he sprang into the air higher then any human could flipped briefly then laded catlike on the ground alongside his Father. Rising to his feet fluidly he parried a blow from an on coming vampire. Lostris was on his other side, when she had reached there he d id not know but he immediately went back to back with her, each defending each other fiercely.
Kayden seemed to be beaming with pride as he watched Yami and Lostris; the two were incredible fighters, and perfect comrades. Fighting along side them he growled and killed in the freezing rain.
Suddenly Yami felt the demon within him growl furiously and take slight control of his body again, but yet his own mind was still in control. He watched as his movements mimicked that of the elite guards; swift, precise, and aggressive, never had he fought like this, and he had never wanted to.
"Stop it," he snapped furiously, "your really pissing me off right now".
The demon chuckled, "be happy that I am letting you fight and remain in slight control, otherwise I would have killed you a long time ago".
"Yami," called Lostris through the rain and thunder, "we need to get inside and defend the castle from any stragglers". Kayden nodded in agreement and led the two back inside the castle. There were few vampires now outside of the building, ten at the most seemed to be fighting the most.
Dashing into the heat of the building they ran straight into a unwanted company. Yami growled in both anger and dismay, Valick stood with his elite guards blocking the doorway, preventing anyone from leaving. The King of Vampires turned to them with a smile, "well Yami, this is the last thing the I was expecting, have you come to surrender to me".
"Fuck no, I've come to do the opposite, your head will soon become an ornament on these walls," he growled holding his sword at ready.
"We will just have to see about that one Yami," Valick said with a chuckle as he pulled out his own blade.
