Chapter 11 Why we do what we do.
Disclaimer Dun owns them, duna wanna owns them, gets of my back!
Chii: I know, it took me half a year or more to update, but I was on a serious emotional Hiatus. I promise regular update of this story now, and even the spin off coming up soon.
Na: Hi! I'm back too!
Chii: Oh shush, you melancholy dog lover!
"They know…"
Yusuke woke up, staring about. His eyes focused on Na and Hiei talking by the window. They seemed to be discussing something when Genkai stepped into the room. Yusuke feigned sleep, but kept his ears perked.
"So these creatures will attack soon?"
"Yes…. And they'll be even more powerful. They'll have Generals working with them."
"Generals? Hmph! We can take them!"
"No….. They'll be people you know, not undead. They'll still be alive. We must be wary. I believe one of your friends has already been converted…"
''
Bakura lay in the street, his throat bleeding from the scratches. These creatures left him alive for the sole reason that he was the key to Yugi joining them. But they had given him something terrible…..
It would cost him everything to save the one he loved…..
''
Ashe walked thru the dingy alley, shivering all over. Her breath came in short gasps now. It felt to her as if the air was thinning every moment. Using as little magic as possible, she made herself a witch light. It floated before her, casting a low light, due to her low magic. "Na-chan, why are you gone now. I have to walk past the clearing by myself!"
Her footsteps became slower as she neared the broken seal. "I wonder if they can leave…….."
'
"You see, they will now recruit the living with promises of immortality and such, in hopes of creating Generals that will lead them to large crowds so they can feed. After which they will hibernate in order to evolve. Depending on which kind of souls and bodies these creatures have gorged themselves on will then determine what they shall become." Na hesitated before going on. She then turned to Yusuke.
"You know you can stop pretending your asleep."
"How long have you-"
"Known? Since you first woke up." Na gave him a small smile, betraying her weariness to him. "You wanna join us over here. You ought to hear what Hiei came up with." She halted Hiei. "But after I tell you what they might turn into!"
''
It was warm…. That's all he could tell…… Someone was dabbing something cold against his head….. It was nice…….
"Is he all right?"
"I don't know, he was in pretty bad shape."
"Man, whoeva did this to him…. Well,…. He's gonna get it!"
"Jounochi! Violence isn't the answer!"
"But Yug! They beat up your boyfriend!"
Silence…..
"I-I kn-kno-w! B-B-But we shou-ldn-t-t jus-t g-g-g-go af- te-ter them…"
"Yugi's right! We could get seriously hurt, or worse. And then what will Bakura do?"
"….. You guys are right….. Damn!"
Door slams.
"You think he's mad at us?"
"I think he'll forgive us….. I just hope Baku-chan can…"
"Oh! How cute! You're calling him chan!"
The conversation faded from there. Bakura just knew that sleep was once again claiming him…..
''
It took Yusuke a few minutes to get up. He considered it very strange that he was tangled in his blankets. I wonder if Na was sleeping next to me……
"Yusuke? You up yet! Damn, your slow!"
"Shut up, you…. You….. By the way, what's your name?"
Na looked startled, Genkai face was blank, and Hiei chuckled. "Yu-Yusuke! You bastard!" Na stomped out of the room, leaving Yusuke even more confused.
''
Ashe stood in front of the entrance to the clearing. She could feel the negativity, but also that strong surge of Na's energy. Before, there was nothing, but now, her energy was flowing in a new seal. "Oro…. I wonder what happened to Na-chan. Didn't she say that the first seal had to do with emotions? Ore! Did she find herself a boyfriend. Uwaaah! Sugoku Kawaii!"
''
Na rushed down the walkway, making her way to the woods. Yusuke was jogging after her, still confused. "Hey! I'm serious! No ones told me your name!"
She turned around, facing him. "My names Na! It should have been obvious! Kurama, Hiei, Yuukina, and Genkai know my name! even Kooenma-sama and Botan-dono do too! How could you not know my name! Were you not paying attention anytime when they were saying my name!" Na glared at him, tears started coming into her eyes. "I should have never comforted you, or even told you anything! But no, you just had to worm your way in! And-And now I just…… arrrgh! Stay away from me if your going to be like this towards me, please….." With that she turned and left again. Yusuke just looked after her, wondering what the hell he had just done.
''
Seto had reviewed the video hundreds of times. He was sure what he had seen actually happened. Walking along where the robbers had been he found what he was looking for. "What the…." A lone gangrenous arm lay rotting on the ground. It twitched as he got closer to it. "This is not right."
Pulling out a cell phone, his eyes darted around to look for anymore suspicious things. But before he could say anything to his guards, something stepped out of the shadows. Seto automatically went defensive, backing away. He actually yelped when a cold hand grabbed his shoulder. He was forced to the ground, one of the creatures stepping on his back.
"Se…to….. Kaib….a……. you ….. will come with us….. to…… the….. Master….."
Chii: Four pages!
Na: The awesomness! But what's this between me and Yusuke?
Chii: HIMITSU!
Ru: Seto!
