My Life...My Death...My Story...
Chapter Four: Lost Little Puppy
It had been four long months since Katsuya Jounichi's and Yugi Mouto's friendship had come to life and now it was as if nothing could separate them from getting to where they wanted to travel! That if they worked together then it seemed that they could do anything!
"That's it Jou! And then after you sacrifice that monster you can lay one down with ether six or five stars!" Yugi smiled up to his blond haired friend as they continued on with their game, teaching him the rules as best as he possibly could...
"Hey! I think I'm finally gettin' it Yug'! And then if I go and lay down this magic card then I can destroy your Beaver Worrier and take 500 of your life points!" Giving his shorter friend a slightly cocky smile at his new understanding of the game his three fiends gave him a small congratulation.
"It's about time you figured it out Jou! tee hee I was beginning to think that I would be the next champ after Yugi." Anzu chirped in as she gave him a warm hug.
"Yeah man! And now that you finally know the game you guy's can stop playing it all the time and we can actually have some real fun!" Honda pitched in.
"Aww come on guys! This is fun! All you have to do is take a bit of time to learn it!"
"Pft! and here I always thought that the saying was 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks...'" the chilling voice of Seto Kaiba came from across the room... The chestnut haired male moved his deep azure depths to peer over from his book to the small group of friends...
"I ain't no dog Money Bags!" The word came in more of a deep growl then anything else...
"Two negatives make a positive mutt." His stern voice came out as calm and collected as if hew were talking to a small child.
"Fuck you Kaiba!"
"No thank you, I don't swing that way puppy..."
Turning a brilliant shade of crimson the boy rose from his seat; his hands were in fists so tight that his knuckles appeared to be white... "You bastered..."
Rolling his eye's he returned to his book "Your not worth my time pup, why don't you go back to your little game, with your little friends and try to learn a few more tricks...like sit or roll over.."
"THT'S IT! YOU'R GOIN' DOWN RICH BOY!" Storming across the room he halted just before the other, grabbing his book and throwing it to the side he raised his fists to fight the other. "You and me! Right here! Right now!"
Moving from his seat he took his place before the other. Standing a full three inches higher then Jou did he glared icily down to the blond haired male before looking to where he had tossed his book. "Now... be a nice little puppy and go fetch."
"FUCKER!" It was the last word Jou had shot before throwing his fist to the others face and landing on his back on a desk...
"W-what just happened there...?" He couldn't move...the pain surging threw his spin and wrist were fare to great for him to want to go moving just yet...The first face to float over his was Ryou's, a terrified expression marked over his face as his concerned pail green eyes looked down to him...
"Uhh...y-you threw a punch, Mr. Kaiba caught it and then he flipped you over onto my desk...a-are you ok?"
"JOU!" There was a sequence of small shouts that seemed to come from his small group of friends...the next face that flew over his was Yugi's followed shortly by Anzu's and Hounda's...
"Man are you ok!"
"Ok my gosh Jounichi!"
"Jou! Can you move?"
"Yeah, yeah...I...I'm fine..." except for my pride... Slowly he moved into a sitting position and turned his attention to Ryou...he must have been a new student...he certainly hadn't seen him before!
"Uhh...heh heh...sorry about you desk...uhh...are uh...you ok?" he asked as casually as he could rubbing the back of his head and trying his best to ignore the snickering kids around him...
"Oh...It's fine, don't worry...you obviously didn't intend on crashing into my desk.." he gave a small sweet smile and proceeded to help the fallen boy to his feet and off his desk..
"I haven't seen you from around here before...are you new to the school?" Smiling he moved his attention to the shortest off the friends, his tri colored hair taking him by surprise for a moment...but nothing compared to the shock of seeing another millennium item...
"Huh? Oh! uh yeah…I just moved here from Britain...my fathers an archeologist and I was sent here for um...well there was a situation that we needed to handle so I just thought that I could uhh…you know...move here and wait it out I guess..." Biting his lip he turned his attention back to his desk...trying his best not to look at anyone..
"Huh? What kinda situation?" Jou half gowned out as he placed a hand to the sorest area of his back…he would finish his and Kiaba's little dispute another time...right now he had a new friend to work with!
A sharp slap was delivered to the side of his arm and as Anzu gave him a stern look… "Leave him alone Jou! That sounds horrible…I hope things get better for you soon then…" she gave him a kind smile and extended a hand in attempted friend ship. "Welcome to our school then, I'm Anzu Mazaki!"
"heh heh...uhh.. Katsuya Jounichi…"
"Harouto Honda!"
"and I'm Yugi Mouto."
"Uhh…Ryou Bakura…It's a pleaser to meet you all…" he gave a small bow of respect before the others, his long white hair falling freely into his pail face…
"Wow! You have such wonderful manners! Nor like this lot." Anzu jokes jerking her thumb over to indicate to the two idiots she had next to her.
"Ahh we don't need manners do we Honda?" Jou smirked as he threw his arm about the brunets shoulders winking to him..
"Huh? Oh! Yeah...who would want to have them anyways? I mean if you've got manners then you can't do..."
Flipping a ruller from his binder and moving behind Anzu the girl quickly found herself red and exposed, her skirt flipped up.
"PANTY TANK!"
"LETCH!"
Slap.
Jounichi smirked as he stared into the mirror to his 'battle scar' as he liked to call it. Anzu's bright red hand print from early that morning still shined brightly on his soft toned skin, a slight pink where the crimson mark had once been.
"Man, that's gonna leave one hell of a bruise!" laughing he moved from the boy's bathroom and began to happily make his way back to class, moving at what one could call a snails pace.
"Three minutes until class comes to an end, and I'm in no hurry to get my homework! Once the bell goes I can just leave this building without looking back! I've got my bag so there's no reason to stay right? Yeah!" he gave himself a reassuring nod as he continued to focus on his lovely little plan...
"Talking to yourself was a sure sign of insanity last time I checked pup."
Jou froze, he recognized that cold mocking voice from anywhere... "What the hell do you want Kaiba?"
"The teacher sent me out to check why you were taking so long in the bathroom. Gone for ten minutes to see a bruise or to put on you makeup?"
"Go ta hell!"
"I'd rather not."
"You fucking ass wipe! Do you always have to have the last word in things!" he clenched his hand into a tight fist, rag surging threw him once more.
"Usually." he smirked as he watched the verity of raw emotions flicker through those oh so familiar honey eyes...he was always so east to move, to set off. It was fun to toy with him.
Jou could feel his blood begin to boil, he wanted to find that damn rich bastereds neck between his fingers and he wanted to squeeze it! Really, REALLY hard!
The brunet smirked as he moved to approach the other walking with a smooth sway to his steps.
The blond raised an eye brow at the oddly calm advance and the collected smirk that he seemed to always wear whenever they began to fight.
"What are you up to?.." he nearly whispered the words in suspicion, his back now finding the wall that he without knowing had been backing into...His eyes widened for a moment as he realized that he was now cornered before returning his attention back to the pursuer before him and letting a deep growl come from his throat.
The CEO placed an arm to either side of the males head, now trapped between the lockers and the brunet.
He leaned in his nose almost touching that of the blonds
Jou's cheeks seemed to pinken at the close contact that the other was now giving, his eyes widening, his mouth beginning to open in ether shock or submission...
Smirking he leaned in so that his lips may capture the others, his deep azure's slipping shut before painfully flying open again!
"Urgh!" he grunted as he moved a hand to his genital and fell to his knees, Jou's face giving a look of horror and disgust...
It had been from shock.
"I. Am. Straight." he moved walking over the fallen boy and to the nearest exit as he heard the bell ring, his eyes still wide as he continued in his chant...
"I am straight...I am straight...I am straight...I am straight..."
Kaiba narrowed his eyes as he watched his puppy leave the building in such an unearthly state after kneeing him...he hadn't been expecting that for an answer to his desired kiss...but fine! If he wanted to play 'hard to get' then he was up for the challenge... "You will be mine..."
Jou cringed again as he made his way home from school, thinking once more about the kiss...it had disturbed him, he had never been that close to another guy before...or at least not that close in THAT way! and he sure as hell wasn't feeling the need to ever do it again!
"What the hell was that any ways! Kaiba hate's me! So why the fuck would he ever want to kiss me! What is he desperate!" he frowned thinking of the aspect of the other male wanting to get down his pants before cringing once again...it disturbed him greatly to think of the other in this manner...it was just plain wrong!
There was a small tap on the blonds' shoulder and he seemed to jump what he assumed to be ten feet and what the world saw as three. Spinning around he stared to his shocked eyed friend, they had meet in surprise before and it seemed that they were doing it again...
"heh heh uhh...hay Ryou...sorry if I frightened ya…again." he gave yet another half hearted laugh scratching the back of his head.
"Oh no…it's nothing Jou...I shouldn't have snuck up on you like that. I'm sorry." he gave the other an apologetic bow, his hair once more falling into his porcelain face before bobbing back up.
"I brought you your homework." he seemed to be rather proud of this as he handed the other his small pail of papers.
"Oh...Thanks..." he frowned as he excepted his 'gift' and threw them into his bag.
"I'm sorry..."
"Huh? For what?"
"You don't seem to be vary pleased."
"Neah," he waved a hand dismissively at the idea. "I just don't like homework...say how did you know where to find me? I figured that everyone would have just said I was leavin' early and forgot about me!"
He smiled. It seemed making him appear so innocent that within Jou's mind he could be compared to some kind of an untouched angle. " I live in the apartment complex down this way, I saw you walking and thought that since I was already finished you could borrow mine."
Jou's mouth dropped as he thought once more of the ten or so pages that he had been handed.
"You're finished…already?"
"Yep!"
His enthusiasm scared Jou…he seemed to be quite please with himself for completing his task.
"uhh…thanks for the consideration…I think…"
Ryou gave a small laugh before lifting a hand to say his good-bye and moving past the blond in the direction of one of the more expensive apartment complexes…
Biting his lip Jou moved to catch up to the white haired male…he had just move there so it wasn't like he'd have a shit load of friends right?
"Say uh, Ryou…"
"Huh? What is it Jounichi?"
"I was thinkin' and since you don' really have anyone to hang with maybe you'd like to come spend the afternoon with me? I mean I can easily do my books after supper and your gonna need someone to show ya the ropes around here right?"
Biting his lip he thought about it….he did need to see the city and so long as they didn't touch any games they would be fine right?
A few more moments passed before the green eyed beauty finally smiled and gave him a small nod of approval.
"All right. I suppose I could go for a little while…"
"Awesome! Come on!" his hand quickly found Ryou's and the two were sent into a quick chance to catch the town bus…
Ryou smiled as Jou once more span him on the round-a-bout. They had found a secluded play ground while on their journey of discovery and They were having a blast.
"This is amazing Jounichi!" He giggled before finally falling off of the equipment and onto the dirt ground, his world spinning above him…
"heh heh, I knew you'd like it!"
"Uhh…" placing a hand to his head he moved back into a sitting position and then slowly to his feet.
"Careful there Ryou or you're gonna tip over."
"Nehh…yes I know…" he peered down to his watch and frowned at the small numbers that showed. "It's getting late Jou. We should probably be heading in…"
"Yeah I guess…" kicking a rock and helping the other steady himself they began to make their way back to the bus shelter…but not before stopping dead in front of a huge mansion.
"Huh? What's this Jou?"
"This is the Takahshi Mansion…it had been owned by a small family. There was a girl, a boy, a mom and a dad. They were stinking rich so they had a couple of maids too…" His deep honey eye's remained transfixed upon the large building as he continued with his story.
"One night when there was this huge blizzard the husband found a young girl out in the street starving to death so they all took her in and gave her a room and kept her warm for the night. But…that's when it all happened…the girls voice could be heard threw the air vents, she was singing a song over and over and over…No where to run, No where to hide, I like human and I don't have pride. No where to run, no where to hide, I'm gonna eat you and you'll all be mine…" his throat began to tighten and he bit his lip turning to see if Ryou was still paying attention.
His soft face was filled with concern, terror…but curiosity...he wanted to know…what had happened…he wanted him to continue… "Go on…"
"Well…" Jou went on… "…The family started to get scared so the mother and father went to go get the kids…but when they entered the little girls room the only thing that they found was her scalp…the mother screamed and the father stared turned white screaming curses at the girl singing. But all they got was her quiet voice threw the air vent doing the little sing song… No where to run, No where to hide, I like human and I don't have pride. No where to run, no where to hide, I'm gonna eat you and you'll all be mine… The mother then took off to the boy's room the father yelled to her not to run ahead to be careful. So he then chased after her but she was too fare ahead of him for him to see her once she turned the stares, so he went faster and knowing that she had been moving to the brother's room moved into there. But he didn't find anything…all he could see was the bed of the brother and the caught for his friend that was suppose to be spending the night. But nothin' else."
Ryou swallowed his attention now completely faced on the house and the priest moving inside…
"To be sure that there wasn't anything he made his way over to the bed grabbing the covers and flipping them back, but once again there was nothing'…nothing' until he stepped onto something' soft…something' that nearly tripped him…a hand. He bent over taking the small hand into his own to help his son up, he recognized the royal blue sleeve of his pajamas, only to lift up the ripped off arm of his one and only son. His wife was still gone and the boy that had slept over was still no where to be found, decided to hope for the best he decided that his wife had takin' the boy and was now in hidin'. So he left again. This time moving into the kitchen. He needed a weapon and he knew that his gun was hidden in there. So he moved to there, the smell of roasted meat reaching his nose and he grimmest at the idea of what meat it could be…moving faster he soon found himself in the kitchen and still the song played threw the air vent. He went to the drawers, takin' from them his only line of defense until he could escape threw the front doors. His gun. It was at that point that a hand moved out from under the kitchen table, grabbin' his leg, he quickly took aim and fired three shots into the things shoulder, only to hear a small voice shout out. It was the little boy's friend. Hidin' and scared. He took him from beneath the table cloth cradling him in his arms happy to have found at least one survivor. When he asked if the boy had seen his wife all he could do was point…point and cry. The oven. The roasting meat was his lost beloved wife. The man then stated that they had to get out of there, and the boy reminded him of the storm informing him that he had already tried that and that all the exits had been sealed with the snow. There was no way out. Once more filled with fear the two sat within the kitchen for a few long moments, each explaining to the other what they had encountered and seen in their attempts to escape. It was at that point that the singing came closer and in the doorway stood the little girl. An axe on one side, and a gun of her own on the other. She was smiling her skin was ghostly white and her features were like that of the devils, her lips stained with blood. The father knew that he was going to die and he knew that he would be taking the girl with him There would be no survivors…none but the boy. He lifted him into his arms and in one smooth motion threw him threw the window of the kitchen. Glass flew everywhere, blood soaked the snow, the last thing anyone ever heard from the house were two gun shots. Each one finishing off the other."
"So…so the boy lived right?"
"heh, I'm standing here ain't I?"
Ryou's face went paled then that of his hair as he watched Jounichi move the sleeve of his shirt up and the three little indentations of bullet holes placed upon his shoulders. Along with the tail ends of scars that he could only assume went across his back from the glass of the window…
"Th-that's horrible! I feel so sorry for you!"
"Neah, don't feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for the people who've moved into there since."
He raised an eye brow before watched as the priest that had entered the building was pitched threw the window, cuts covered his body and face. His left eye missing from it's socket, the medics that had been standing by now rushing to his aid.
His stomach turned and Ryou allowed everything that he had been holding for the day onto the sidewalk.
"Everyone who goes in there ether dies in some hug massacre or gets thrown out the window…" His attention finally returned to Ryou and his eyes widened in disgust. "Eww! Man that's nasty!"
Jou smiled as he watched Ryou hurry off into his apartment. It made him happy to know that he had given the new comer a day that he would remember! and hopefully enjoyed before they had had their little story.
Sighing he ran a hand threw his wild blond hair before moving back into the direction of his own apartment. It would be a bit of a walk but he could make it. It was only about half an hour away from Ryou's.
"Man, oh man, oh man! What a day! I haven't gone near that house since the slaughter..." he gave a heavy sigh as the image of his friend being eaten alive came back into his mind...he was the only one who had found the recorder hidden in the vents that had been singing that creepy song during the chase...but since he was in a bit of a hurry running for his life he didn't really have time to turn it off.
He shook his head in a vain attempt to chase the thoughts away.
"When I get home I'm grabbing the nearest boring romance movie and watchin' that! I have to get these memories out of my head before I hit the sac or I'm not gonne be sleepin' at all tonight!"
Sighing again he watched as car after car raced by. It still amazed him how they never got caught for speeding...
he enjoyed to make up stories about the cars and the people who drove them on long walks.
Like what were they doing? Where were they going?
For example the one that just came to a stop behind him is probably going into the drug store to bye some medicine. Or maybe they just wanted a chocolate bar...
Both of his little assumptions were proven wrong however when a large brown bag was flipped over his head and he was pushed onto the cement. Hand cuffs being placed firmly about his wrists. he began to kick, screaming for the help that would never come.
"Ya Gad damn bastereds! Get the fuck away from me!"
A firm hand gripped the back of his neck as it raised his head from it's place on the cement and slammed it back down. His skull bounced for a moment. he wasn't out...yet...a trickle of blood seeped from the side of his forehead, his sight was getting blurry now and he could hardly feel he rest of his body...his head was the only thing that his mind seemed to register around him...
The voices of the men were the next thing that he heard. There was two of them...he had to remember their voices...he had to...Jounichi Katsuya never let anyone get away worth anything and before he went out he was going to remember their voices…that way when he got out of this he could repay them ten fold!
His eyes were getting heavy at this point and he could hardly keep from passing out...his mind beginning to slow...he just about gone, the last words to reach his ears being...
"Yeah, don't worry sir, we've got him...No...No there was no real resistance...yes we had to hit him once...the head...It won't happen again...yes we'll be there shortly Mr. Kaiba..."
They couldn't have gotten home any sooner in Ryou's opinion.
He was scared beyond believe and didn't know if he would be able to sleep that night…especially knowing that he himself was currently undergoing some ghostly problems of his own…
Jou had however given him an idea…maybe he would be able to get ride of Bakura after all.
He moved into a small room he had been using for storing some of his books and once again went searching threw them.
/What are you looking for this time boy/
He didn't answer, why should he? He didn't want anything to do with this monster any longer! The priest, to what he assumed, had been going in to the house to cast out the spirits in some sort of an exorcism. So perhaps he could do the same with Bakura!
/It won't work./
"How do you know?"
/Because I'm not just a spirit hakari, I'm apart of your soul./
"You could be bluffing in an attempt to stop me."
/Fine do what you want. But it wont work./
Now more determined with his work he moved deeper into the box finally pulling from it a small red leather book.
He flipped threw the pages, quickly scanning the index before smiling at one that seemed promising and set to work.
Within a few moments a large circle had been made, ten candles laid across its lightly colored lines. Within it the image of an ankh lay clearly. Ryou stood just outside of it. His shirt open so that the Millennium Ring trapped within his chest may be visible to the ghostly light.
He took a deep breath reading over the word in his head once or twice so not to fumble before taking a deep breath and allowing his tong to form the first of many.
Light to Dark and Dark to Light.
The two shall mix as day and night.
For freedom from one to the other.
May they become the others brother.
Come forth the spirit of my Ring and set my body free!
Bakura!
An icy wind flew about the room, darkness filling it's every corner before the eye of Osiris formed within the center of the room. It's lines blazed like fire before his eyes, the ankh drawn upon the floor lifting. The bottom turning into legs, middle into that of a body, the long arms from the center turning into flesh, fingers growing from the stems. And the top. The circle placed upon the top most of it began to twist, changing into a head, forming into a face almost identical to that of his own.
Ryou stood completely still frozen in fear, as the eye moved around him, ripping from his chest the essence of the Ring and slipping it over the neck of it's new holder. The small golden item sinking deep into the fresh body's skin.
A pair of blood red eye's flew open and the pail skinned body fell naked to the floor. Kneeling before the small boy before turning his gaze up to meet his.
The eye then halted before Ryou blazing like a fire unknown to any man as the body moved to it's feet and took it's first breath, taking the eye into his body threw the entrance of his mouth with the air
The words of the burning symbol echoing threw his mind as it vanished…
Your wish has been granted…
AN- believe it or not I still had about two more pages to write about the other hakari's but hell that'll make a pretty damn good beginning to the next chapter don't you think?
So which one should I start off the fifth chapter on? Seto and Jounichi? or Ryou and Bakura? Or maybe I should just set up a surprise! Ohh! Maybe I should show you guy's what Malik's been up to! Ohhh! lol. XD
All right tell me what you think of it! I worked my ass off on this chapter and I spent four dollars on bus fair just to update for you so please, PLEASE review! If you don't then I won't continue. It's as easy as that.
Besides it took me three days to write this chapter! Three days equaling up to ten hours of pure typing time and three hours of editing, plus two hours of spell check! I Do this torture for you!
Well any who, thanks to all you who were able to read it without falling asleep. Bye bye!
