Chapter 13: Dies Irae ( The Day of Wrath)
Dies Irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla
Quantus tremor est futurus...
That day of wrath, that day will turn the earth to ashes.
As both David and Sybelle have foretold
How great a tremor there will be...
Recordare, Jesu pie,
Quod sum causa tuae viae...
Remember, merciful Jesus,
That I was the cause of your way...
( Just for the hell of it yea it is from "the Vampire Armand" of which I do not own but it just fit well.)
Ishtar awoke the next morning, the stench of alcohol hung heavily in the air, and he could his Father snoring in a drunken sleep. Ishtar rolled his eyes and tried to move but pain shot through him like the lightning bolt of Thor himself.( Yes, I know, it's nordic or whatever.) He sighed and knew his Father would be out for awhile and wouldn't bother him, so he drifted off to sleep again.
Later that night, Bakura awoke and came down to the kitchen where Rei was already waiting. Normally Ishtar would be over already and arguing with Rei about something insignificant. " Where's Ishtar?" Bakura asked. " I don't know, what am I? His babysitter?" Rei spat. Bakura chuckled, " I'm sure he'll be around later."
A week passed and Bakura and Rei actually began to worry about their psychotic friend's absence. " I wonder what he's up to that's so preoccupying he wouldn't even stop in for a visit?" Rei said sarcastically. " You know how strict his Father is ..." Bakura semi-scolded her. " What if something happened? He's never been gone for this long." " You're right, we should stop by his house, it's night so his Father is probably out." " All right." Rei agreed. And so they left the warm comfort of the house into the semi-bitter night air. Distant sounds of people in houses and taverns drifted their way. Lights from houses offered some comfort in the black darkness that seemed to envelop the city with the sense of foreboding. They snaked their way through the alleys on the familiar route. As they approached the house they listened for any sign of their friend or his Father but no sound was heard and no light emanated from the dwelling. They went from window to window, checking each room, just in case. They reached the window to Ishtar's room and heard his soft breathing, they peeked in to see him asleep in the far corner of the dim room. They silently slipped in through the window, why use the door? Doors are for normal people. As they crept towards the sleeping figure, they noticed the cloth tied around his abdomen and looked at each other questioningly. Rei gently poked at Ishtar's arm and he stirred, she repeated this but he didn't wake. So she picked up his arm and let it flop onto the bed. Ishtar startled awake, his eyes adjusting to the dark. " Rei? Bakura? What are you doing here?" " We obviously came looking for you, what's with the cloth thing?" Rei questioned. Ishtar averted his eyes to the floor. " It's nothing, really." " Is that so? Then why haven't you been around? Hm?" Bakura asked skeptically. " Come now let me see." Rei said she reached to untie the cloth. " I said it's nothing!" Ishtar protested loudly. " Oh stop being a baby and hiding it. Let me see." Rei replied calmly but sternly. Ishtar sighed let her untie it, " Now rollover." Rei gasped as she removed the blood soaked cloth. The wounds were seeping blood still and had already started to become infected. " That's it, you can no longer stay here, your Father is insane." Bakura stated. " You've lost a lot of blood, I'm surprised you're even conscious." Rei found some clean cloth and replaced the old one, temporarily. Bakura helped Ishtar to his feet, he wobbled unsteadily but regained his balance. They slowly made their way back to Bakura's where they would properly tend to their friend's wounds.
One long walk and 20 minutes later...
The trio made it into the house and let Ishtar rest face down on the couch. Bakura removed the temporary bandage while Rei got clean new ones along with supplies to clean out the wounds. Rei used a wet cloth to remove the fresh blood, Ishtar winced and twitched now and then. Then Bakura used a dagger to open up the cut that had closed up and become infected to remove the pus. ( Eww, nasty.)
To keep the infection out, salt was applied at which Ishtar hissed loudly at. Then he was wrapped up again. " Hungry?" Rei asked. " Not really." Ishtar mumbled. " Alright then, get some rest." It was towards morning so Bakura and Rei went to bed.
