"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
They crouched back, raised their blades, and charged.
Yugi's eyes shot open as the demons approached, the Millennium Puzzle glowing brightly and shooting off golden light like bullets at each and every demon. Yugi yelled out in pain under the stress of using the magic he had tried to avoid. He had refused to use it because of it's connections with Yami, but the situation was to dangerous, and he had no other choice.
A few of the demons cried out in pain and backed away, more spooked then injured. This brat had traces of Yami's magic in his attacks, how had that happened? One of the demons spotted the Millennium Puzzle around his neck and pointed it out to a few others. But even though they where powerful, they decided to leave the boys be for now, they had to figure out a way to get the Millennium Puzzle off the boy.
Joey looked around in confusion as the army of demons retreated. "That's weird.." He thought. A retreat usually wasn't necessary when Yugi called upon the powers of the Puzzle. Unlike Yami, Yugi was inexperienced at using magical force, so they couldn't have been powerful. Joey looked back at his friend and frowned. Yugi was completely limp, breathes heavy and his face covered in a cold sweat. He narrowed his eyes and ran off to search for shelter. "Hang on Yug'..."
But this was who he was. He wasn't supposed to feel compassion or pity, to care or to love. Heck, he wasn't supposed to feel anything except for emotions such as anger, hate and a thrill for bloodshed. But he didn't feel that why. Why?!
"It must be a side affect from sharing a vessel with a mortal as compassionate as Yugi. That boy has so much kindness in him it can't be healthy." Yami thought, sighing and turning his back the blaze as the light began to hurt his eyes. Being so uncaring was supposed to be his nature, but it didn't feel right. Still, it was the way he was, and he had a role to fulfil.
He had no room for emotions.
"Wha...?" Yugi tried to open his eyes, but it was difficult. He was in so much pain, he didn't feel like he had the energy to do anything. He tried in vain again to open his eyes, before deciding he wasn't bothered. He sighed heavily to himself, along himself to relax, and slip into complete darkness again.
"Yugi?" Joey shook his friend slightly, but it was obvious he wasn't going to get a response from the teen. He frowned and placed a damp cloth on Yugi's forehead, hoping to help cool his friend down. Yugi was burning up from a fever, but luckily Joey had been able to bandage Yugi's injuries up properly (with a first aid kit he'd found in the empty house they where sheltering in) as well as his own. He decided against taking Yugi's Millennium Puzzle off him. It was magic he didn't understand and decided it was probably best to leave it with Yugi.
The whole house was destroyed from a previous attack, so the chances of the demons coming back where slim for a few days. Joey walked out to the hall and looked around, taking in the condition of house. Everything was burnt and smashed, noticable even in the dim light. He walked down the dark corridor, deciding to search the rest of the house. Burnt objects littered the floor, as did glass for smashed plates and windows.
The teen entered the kitchen, but suddenly, there was a soft shuffling sound from behind him. He froze to the spot, eyes travelling quickly around the room. He couldn't see anything in the kitchen, so he turned to see an empty hall. A smashing sound behind him caused him to jump and spin around. A cup had fallen off the counter nearby and smashed on the floor.
Feeling uneasy, he took a cautious step forward to the smashed glass. He looked around him nervously. Another shuffle. Joey spun around, back pressed against the wall, eyes searching for the intruder. His hand slid along the wall to the table next to him, searching slowly until it handed on a handle. Lifting the kitchen knife from the table, Joey's deep breathes slowed in his attempt to calm down. He stepped away from the wall, gripping the handle tightly.
There was silence...
Joey stood alone, becoming increasingly worried, second by second...
A shuffle of paper echoed in the silence. Joey spun around and raised the dagger, but froze. A small mouse scampered out of the food wrapping and across the floor. Joey lowered the dagger as he watched the mouse disappear behind a box, shaking his head. He turned away from the mouse towards the door to leave. But when he looked forward...
He only had time to gasp at the sight of the red-eyed demon in front of him. The blade left his hand, and the demon pulled him forward, driving the blade deep into his chest.
Joey's breath was caught in his throat, his eye's wide and thoughts blank. All that could be heard in the silence was the death rattle from the assaulted teenager. The knife was torn from his chest, but he remained unmoving, until all strength left him, and he descended into darkness...
