"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
It had been only three days sense the arrival of the demons in the mortal realm, but already they had begun the ritual of destruction. Every day, they put forward their propositions to many different councils and such, in the form of a mortal. They knew that, as mortal, they didn't look like any bit of a threat, so they would be rejected once they demanded a surrender to them.
Perfect. It gave them an excuse to use force, taking on their real forms and destroying all in sight, until they received a forced admit to defeat.
The demons were taking over, their ruthlessness was the root of all their power. But one demons heart was hurt, and heavy.
Even if it was nature, even if it was instinct, how could Yami destroy the world that had become his home?
And the people that had become him family...
"Joey!" Yugi called his friend as he was knocked out of the way of a demon attack. Joey crumpled to the ground in front of him, blood running from a wound in his side. Though it wasn't deep, it was enough to temporarily paralyse him. He groaned and looked up at the demon, who grinned and raised his blade once again.
Suddenly, Yugi latched his arms around the demon, hanging off his shoulders, while covering his eyes with his hands. Growling, the demon spun around blindly, but Yugi didn't loosen his grip. The Demon reached back and grabbed the back of Yugi's jacket, pulling his up, over his head, and in front of him. Yugi looked fearfully into the blood red, murderous eyes of the creature.
This one was at least ten feet tall, over twice Yugi's height, and was able to hold him high enough off the ground. The demon dropped Yugi, but quickly grabbed him again, locking his arm around the mortal and pinning his arms to his sides. Yugi struggled to free himself, but it was hopeless.
A blade raised slowly in front of Yugi's face, facing the sharp edge horizontally towards his face. It was pressed lightly against his face, the blade mere millimetres from his eyes. His breaths became shaky as fear overpowered him, and he pressed his head back into the demons chest in a desperate and obviously ineffective attempt to get away from the blade. In one quick movement, the blade was brought up vertically, the down the left side of Yugi's face, the blade cutting a deep wound beside his eye and right down the side of his face, causing him to cry out in pain.
The demon grinned and Yugi's head slouched down and he gasped from pain, taking in deep short breaths as he tried to suppress the pain. Suddenly a sharp blow struck the back of the demons head, causing an instant blackout. Joey cringed as the demon fell more diagonally then his preferred thought of falling back.
He dropped the pipe he had found lying around the alley and leapt of the dumpster, groaning in pain as he put pressure back on his side. "Yug'? You ok?" He asked in a raspy voice, pulling his friend out from under the demon's weight. sitting down and sighing heavily as he pulled his friend to a kneeling position in front of him.
Yugi was a bit out of breath from the large demon falling on him, but he looked up and replied in a hoarse voice. "Ya, I'm ok..." He was, compared to many of the other people in the world. The two friends had stuck together ever since the demons began their attack, and they had had much worse days then this before.
Joey patted him on the shoulder and breathed a relieved, "Ok..." before forcing himself to his feet. Yugi knew what Joey was thinking, they had to get out of there before other demons showed up. He stood up and winced, pressing his hand up against his face.
"Your not getting away from me that easy..."
Yugi felt something grip around his ankle and gasped, looking back at the barely conscious demon behind him. He tried to pull away, but the demons grip was tight. His eyes grew wide as he spotted the dagger in the demons hand, and struggled to pull away. Joey grabbed Yugi around his torso and tried to pull him away from the demon, but neither of them where getting anywhere.
Yugi cried out as the dagger dug deep into his leg, just above his ankle. His other foot swung forward and kicked the demon square in the face, knocking him out. Joey dragged Yugi quickly away from the demon before settling him down. He knelt down in front of his friend and looked at the injury. Yugi was gripping his ankle, tears of pain brimming in his eyes, as he whimpered in pain. Joey bit his lip.
All he could see of the blade was it's hilt, it must have gone right through. "Ok Yugi, take it easy, your going to be okay."
"It hurts..." Yugi mumbled, tears escaping him. He gritted his teeth and tried to hold back a cry in pain as Joey pulled the dagger out quickly, though unsuccessful. Joey quickly tore a piece off the bottom of his jacket and tied it around the injury, hugging his friend as he tried to calm him down.
The pain must be antagonising, as Yugi couldn't stop moaning tearfully, though his voice was muffled by Joey's jacket. Joey lifted his friend up and swung him carefully onto his back, Yugi's arms hanging over his shoulders. "Take it easy bud, you'll be ok." Joey reassured, looking at the dagger. It was an odd one, the blade was smooth and sharp, but a little hollow. There was a clear line of glass running from hilt to tip, but why that was there Joey didn't know.
Carefully and quietly, Joey tried his best to keep out of sight. Yugi must have passed out, because he had fallen silent. Joey was just glad he could hear his friends breathing, heavy though it was. "Where the heck am I supposed to go now?" He thought to himself. It was difficult enough to keep out of sight of demons for longer them a few minutes, nevermind hide completely, even though they'd been doing alright so far.
Unfortunately, the longer your free, the more of a target you become.
There was a sound of movement, followed by what sounded like an echo of the sound, and in the blink of an eye, Joey was surrounded. Looking around helplessly, as one hissed at him, he debated whither to take a step back or not, as he'd just be nearing another demon. He stood his ground, cringing as the demons withdrew daggers, grinning sinisterly.
They croached back, raised their blades, and charged.
