Save the light.
Yami watched as the chisel was hurtling towards Yugi's heart, he couldn't get out of the cage, in his haste, he was fumbling the key. Pure panic coursing through him. It couldn't end like this. It just couldn't
"Yugi NO!" another voice, a blur of blond as this new voice hurtled down the stairs grabbing the wrist that held the chisel. Yugi became limp crying his pain as his last escape was denied him. All the while being rocked by this new person. Finally, Yami's nerves calm enough. He turned the key. The cage door swung open. Yami rushed over to the two kneeling beside him.
"Yugi?" only Yugi's broken sobs came as his reply.
"Don't you think you hurt Yug enough?" the Boston accent cold. He looked up to the teen. It was the same one from the bar the first night he had come to the dance club.
" I didn't mean to….I'm sorry. I thought he had betrayed me." Yami replied sadly lowering his head.
"Yug would never betray a friend. He never told Pegasus nothing."
"We have to get out of here" Yami looked up, could see a window, darkness prevailing.
"You take Yug, and never let him come back here"
"But what about you?" Yami asked. He owed this one.
"I can't leave. I need the money, my sister will go blind if I don't get it for the operation" Yami smiled at this.
"What's your name?"
"Jounouchi, but everyone calls me Jou"
"Well Jou, come with us. You can't be a vampire as long as I have, without amassing a small fortune. It's the least I can do"
"Really?" Yami nodded. Jou broke into a huge grin.
"Where's Pegasus and that other goon?"
" Uhsio they left about a hour ago. Only Yug's father upstairs now"
"Get yours and Yugi's things. I'll meet you in Yugi's room. I have something to take care of." Jou nodded and ran with Yugi in his arms up the stairs. He went into his room, packed a small backpack, Then went into Yugi's. He packed the things he needed also. Then sitting on the bed. He removed a plank from the floor, revealing Yugi's hiding place. There inside was his treasure. His gold box. A freaky eye on the front. Inside Jou knew was his Pyramid puzzle necklace his grandfather had given him. Once he had everything he waited for the vampire, this Vampire that seemed to love Yugi. Jou preyed that he did, cause he knew Yug would need a lot of care after this. This blow might have destroyed him. Looking at Yugi, staring straight ahead, blank. Rocking back and forth. He hoped this vampire could get into whatever world Yugi had drawn himself into.
Yami walked up the stairs with purpose. He followed the scent trail of the father. It was time this one paid. He found the door marked "Manager" he didn't Knock. He didn't even use the door handle. He blew the door off its hinges in his rage. There, eyes wide in shock Sat the father. He started to shake in fear at the sight of the Vampire before him.
"You Mortal filth, and you dare to claim to be his father" Tone low, deep menacing. Yami came forward. Had his hand round the man's throat in an instant. Yami's eyes aglow with golden rage.
"You will pay tenfold for what you have done to Yugi" he threw Yugi's father across the room, the man looked up.
"w….what are you going to do?" Yami didn't even look at him. He held out his hand. A bubble of dark magic covering the room, so it was just he and Yami. Then Yami spoke.
"I call forth from the shadow realm, a loyal servant to the Dark Magician, to bring out your vengeance on this mortal. I call upon the Red Dragon of retribution, guardian of ancient Egypt." A sliver of red light appeared behind Yami, it began to writhe forward like a snake. The light dissipated; there before Yami stood a great Red Dragon, it's Eyes aflame, ready to hurt this one, the one that had tainted the soul of an innocent being. It snarled. Seeing the soul of the man. It turned to Yami for permission.
"Do with him as you will great red Dragon. Make him scream" The dragon smiled and shot forth.
The dragon delighted in torturing this one, burning his hands and feet to cinders with its white-hot flame. She would not let him slip into bliss unconscious. She made his mind stay, to feel it all. She skinned him slowly, licking, drinking the blood that flowed. When she had done with him, she devoured his soul. So he would be tormented to her hearts content.. Bowing to Yami her form faded, her task done. Yami made the bubble of dark magic disappear as if it never were, then he returned to the two boys.
"What did you do?"
"Just paid Yugi's father a visit, he won't be bothering my Hikari anymore." Hikari? Well that just slipped out Jou looked at him a moment, then nodded.
"So how we getting out of here?"
"Give me Yugi" Jou handed the small now sleeping form over. Yami cradled him like you would a babe. He turned his back to Jo, extending his wings "ok Jou. Grab the back of my neck, but keep clear of my wings. Or we going to have a long drop." Jou closed his eyes and held tight. He felt Yami's muscles move, then he felt his heart in his stomach as they shot through the skylight. He felt the wind in his hair and knew they were airborne. Jou looked down and gasped at the beauty. Snaking lines of White and red as the roads packed with cars snaked out of the city. Towering skyscrapers, Flashing like fairy lights. Then they were over a church, old stone melting after the years of acid ran and smog. Finally he saw a graveyard, over grown. It seemed not many graced this place anymore. They landed outside a huge mausoleum, saw it go deep in the earth. Above the door was the same strange eye as on Yugi's puzzle.
Yami carried Yugi in, Flipping on the lights. He smiled at the gasp from Jou. He Lay Yugi down on his bed, looking to the wounds as before. He had lost a lot of blood this time. He would need a lot of rest. He licked the wounds. Leaving pale scars. Then turned to the shocked face of Jou. He chuckled deep in his throat, Then wrapped Yugi warmly in the silk black sheets.
"My saliva heals your kind. I didn't want him to lose any more blood than he already had"
"Yeah… I knew that"
"Now Jou, you are more than welcome to stay." Yami turned looking serious
"I would love to, but my sister, I visit her everyday. I didn't get the chance today, she must be worried."
"Yes your sister. Wait a moment" Yami turned and went into a side room, when he came back he held a huge ruby, he handed it to the shocked Jou.
"As promised, this should be more than enough"
"Th…thank you,..Um.." Jou was at a loss for words.
"Yami, and it is I who should be thanking you, you stopped him from taking his life, I don't know what I would have done, but I am so afraid to trust anyone."
" I don't know what is in your past Yami, but Know you can trust Yugi with anything. He would have rather died than tell them where your home was. Anyway. Take care of him for me. I'll have to lay low a while. Here are his things." Jou handed him Yugi's backpack. The millennium puzzle hidden safely within. Yami nodded his thanks
"I'll take you to the hospital, I can grab some blood while I am there." Jou looked nervous at that statement
"Don't worry, out of the blood bank"
"Yeah, I knew that" Yami chuckled again. Then flew Joey to the hospital.
Yami returned near dawn, he looked at Yugi, and saw he had not stirred; he walked over to his angel stroking the silk hair.
"Yugi, wake up" but nothing came from him, just the slow breathing. Yami placed his hand on Yugi's forehead and gasped at the lack of feeling he got in return. He was testing the boy's spirit. But it felt like the body on the bed was hollow.
"Yugi!" he tried shaking the boy, but only weak breathing was his response. As he shook the boy, he knocked the backpack off the bed where had placed it earlier. The loud clunk made him look down. He gasped at what he saw, there before him was his box, the box his beloved had placed the millennium puzzle in after she smashed it. But spilled on the floor were no pieces of a puzzle, but a complete entity, the puzzle was whole. Yami looked back and forth form the puzzle to the boy, he had completed it? He reached down to the puzzle, it glowed warmth, remembering it's true master. Yami looked back to the boy as he placed the puzzle round his neck.
"Yes, perhaps you can help me? Bring him back to me. Take me to his soul millennium puzzle" there was a flash and Yami fell beside the form of Yugi, looking asleep as the form before him, the fight For Yugi' soul was about to begin.
