Chapter Ten: Salvation for A Brief Moment
A/N: Thank you all for your wonderful reviews. I enjoyed them very much and now here's chapter ten. ENJOY!
Marik had finally found a place to stop for a while. It was small and outside but it was safe at the moment. Getting out of the car, he looked around with a pistol in hand. Now that there was a shortage in numbers, the weapons would be used less. The guns, however, had to be used until they either ran out of bullets or they were no longer useable. Marik aimed the pistol at a figure in the shadows but lowered it as soon as he saw that it was a dog. The dog looked normal and it didn't look like it was bitten or scratched so Marik called it over. "Here dog, c'mon. Come here," he whispered softly and the dog went to him with its tail in between its legs and whimpered as if asking if he was human or zombie. Marik reached out a hand and pet the dog behind the ear.
Seto got out of the car he was driving and went over to the dog. "It's owned but I think that the owner's dead," he said looking at the dog's tags. Mokuba whistled and the dog scurried to him, tongue hanging out and pounced on the preteen. Mokuba laughed and pet the dog as he sat up.
"At least it's tame," Marik said and Seto shook his head.
Seto nodded as he watched his little brother stand up and walk towards them. Mai looked at the dog and started to bawl again. "It's a mutt!" she shouted and collapsed into sobs.
Marik looked at the sobbing blonde and rolled his eyes slightly. Mokuba went over and hugged Mai so she would quit crying. No such luck. Bakura had taken over Ryou's body and turned to Mai. "Listen harpie, keep up this crying and those stiffs will come after us even faster now," Bakura growled as he looked around him. Nothing stirred and the air was unusually calm.
Mai stood up and punched Bakura in his face. "You bastard. I cared about him and you didn't even try to save Joey. He was your hikari's friend and you left him to die! I fucking hate you, Bakura! I wish that you were never sealed up in that goddamn ring and that you were in hell!" Mai yelled in a fury.
Bakura had rubbed where she had hit him and spit the ground with his blood that had come in his mouth from his wound. "You know, now that the fucking mutt is dead, you aren't needed anymore. You are a slut and are no longer needed so go fuck something else now!"
Yami had went over to Bakura and held a knife to his throat. "Say something like that again and I'll kill you but spare your hikari. You have NO right to say things like that. Maybe you should go to hell and leave us the fuck alone," he threatened. Bakura looked over and everyone was pissed off.
/Bakura? Why in the world did you say a thing like that to Mai? What did she do to you/ Ryou asked through his physic link to his yami.
/She gets on my fucking nerves, that's what she's done. God, I don't know how you people can stand her/ Bakura answered rolling his eyes.
"Well? Are you going to behave like a good tomb robber?" Yami asked. Bakura rolled his eyes and nodded much to his disagreement. Bakura hated Mai but Ryou liked her. What's a yami to do? Yami slowly backed away from Bakura, as if he did trust him, which he doesn't.
Mai sat down on the ground and curled up in a ball and was crying until the dog went over to her and nuzzled her arm. "What do you want?" she asked through tears. The dog just tilted its head and perked its ears. "So what are you? A boy or a girl?" she mumbled.
"It's a girl," Marik said as he was also sitting down and reloaded some of the guns. Mai smiled and rubbed the dog's ears affectionately. "You gonna name her?" he asked looking up at her with a question in his violet eyes.
Mai had closed her own violet eyes and shrugged. "Maybe. I donno though," she answered as she stood up and went to one of the vehicles to grab a blanket. Wrapping herself in it, Mai sat back down and dozed off. It had been a long morning so far.
Mokuba was already asleep and had one arm around his brother's arm as he slept. Seto ruffled his hair and dozed off too. What a morning. They all woke up sometime before nine and they landed in this area at ten. And already, zombies went to attack them and succeeded with killing two people that morning, if you consider Marik's death to be an actual death. Yugi, who didn't want to, fell asleep as well and Yami watched over them. Tristan was helping Marik with loading the guns and Serenity had sat quietly on a large rock to think.
Since the city went into total chaos in one night, maybe it can repair itself too. The people of Domino though were either dead or they fled before they were killed and faced their fates outside of Japan. Whatever the case was, it was too late for them anyway you looked at it.
With nothing moving in the air, the place gave off a creepy feeling, as if it was haunted by something. (A/N: In case you guys haven't figured it out, they're outside) Serenity stood up and with her arms crossed, walked back over to her sleeping friends. With Joey and her parents gone, they were all she had left. "Duke, Tea, Rolen, Joey. Ishizu, Odieon, I'm sorry," she mumbled before sitting down. She couldn't do anything to stop them from dying and so she was forever scarred with that fact.
A/N: I know it's short but I still have a lot to do so I'll try to get this updated quicker. I promise.
