Unwanted, Unloved
Chapter 5
When Anzu woke up the next day, she saw that spiders roamed her room and she screamed in pure terror. They crawled up her bed sheets and she moved them away quickly and jumped off her bed and quickly ran to the bathroom. She was glad to had picked up a set of clothes in her rush and relaxed, seeing no other insects.
She placed her clothes down and walked into the shower and turned the water on. It was crystal clear as she washed up but soon, something went wrong and the water became pure blood and she didn't notice until she opened her eyes again and screamed once again, seeing the blood coating her hands, face and body.
She jumped up from the shower quickly and wrapped a towel around her, furiously wiping the blood away. 'Something is going on and I blame this on Diamond. I know she must be practicing witchcraft to get revenge on me and I'll make sure she'll pay.' she thought as she placed her clothes on and left out the back door, seeing as the wolves were still outside from yesterday.
A red dragon watched from a nearby roof and smirked at the curse she place on her. 'I hope you die a painful death, Anzu, for it was your past self along with the help of Dartz and Pegasus that ruined Yami and Aqua's life 3,000 years ago and made them lost their little mate. I'm glad he has been reborn and hopefully they will regain their memory soon enough. I don't want nothing to happen to Yugi.' she thought before flying off once more.
Jou woke up quietly, rubbing the sleep form his eyes. He got up and went to take a shower before heading downstairs to eat breakfast. He turned on the news and gaped when he saw that they took the reward off Yugi and placed it on Anzu. "Well, there's a change of plans. Maybe Diamond's jinx spell changed that although she hasn't said anything about it last night." Jou said as he continued to eat breakfast. When he was done, he washed out the bowl and was about to head into the living room until he heard scratching at the back door and wondered what it could be.
He walked over and opened the door and saw the two wolves he and Kaiser saw last night standing there. "Now what are you two doing here?" Jou asked and the brown wolf walked inside and nuzzled his leg. "Well, I'm guessing you want to stay with us, right?" he asked as he stroked the wolf's head. The wolf bobbed his head as he continued to nuzzle his leg.
"Alright then, let me get you two something to eat and maybe all four of us can go out for a walk. No one will expect you since you two look almost like dogs so we won't have any problems." he said as he headed to the refrigerator and pulled out some meat and handed it to them.
They ate happily as Kaiser came down a little while later and Jou explained why they were here. Once the wolves were finished, they left out to have a nice walk through the park.
Yugi woke up and yawned and saw Varn and Chailen coming down with breakfast. "Yugi, you won't believe what we just saw on the news this morning." Chailen said as they laid the tray on the table. "What is it?" Yugi asked as he got up and walked over to the table, sitting down.
"We just heard the police has taken the reward off of you and put it on Anzu. They also said that if they were to see you with Yami and Aqua, they know you are safe to be around since they explained that they killed those people because they could've been hungry so you can leave out here with Yami and Aqua and have no one fear you or them." Varn said.
"Really? That was a big change so fast. It was only yesterday they put the reward on me." Yugi quipped as he ate. "I have a feeling why they changed the reward and I'm happy." Varn said.
"Really? Who would have changed it, not saying that I don't like the change."
"It's was an old friend of ours, she lived in Egypt and protected it as if she was one of the Goddesses that watched over Egypt day and night.
"Many people respected her and so did the demons that lived there as well. She was named the Red Dragon of Egypt because of her devotion to protect Egypt from evil. When Yami and Aqua became what they are now, she watched over them before handing them to us to keep an eye on until she found the evil that messed with Yami and Aqua and killed off their mate. He was a sweet soul and he was killed so horridly. It was saddening to hear that even Yami and Aqua had gone mad with rage, trying to look for who killed their mate.
"It took a lot but they were calmed before the people could have gotten hurt. At that point, that's when the village they stayed in shunned them because they thought that they were nice to them as a ploy to retaliate and kill them off. We tried everything to explain to them that it wasn't their fault but they have already told us that they have gotten rid of the foul beasts and we couldn't find them until that day you brought them by." Varn explained.
"So, that's why Yami and Aqua have a childlike disposition." Yugi said softly, feeling bad for them. They nodded. "Yes, and like I said, it was very saddening to see them reduce to this and because of it, their true nature was sealed away to only be in their thoughts and cover up who truly done this to them. Red Dragon is out trying to find them now since Yami and Aqua killed off Teana, the girl who set up their mate and killed him off with help of Pegasus and Dartz.
"But she didn't reveal where they went to so we have no idea where they are now and Yugi, I'll tell you this. They are a bigger force of evil that you will be going up against soon cause I have a feeling once they find you with Yami and Aqua, they will try to kill you in order to harness the power, that rage, that Yami and Aqua gives off to give them ultimate power to control the world. You will have to be careful and see if you can free Yami and Aqua's true nature so they can protect you." Varn said and he nodded.
"I will do my best. I don't want them to get hurt anymore and I surely don't want to die and cause Pegasus and Dartz to get what they want." Yugi said. "I'm glad you will do so, Yugi. Red Dragon will be proud to know you care so much. That's how their mate did when he first found them and I bet history may repeat itself but it will be for good instead of bad." Chailen said before they left upstairs once more, leaving Yugi to eat the rest of his breakfast.
'Hopefully I can do something. If Red Dragon can't locate Pegasus and Dartz, I may be in trouble and both Yami and Aqua are still kindhearted with their true demon nature locked away. I have to see if I can do something soon before I do die and they harness Yami and Aqua's rage for evil.' he thought as he finished up his breakfast and walked over to Yami and Aqua.
He rubbed Yami's head lightly and he purred before waking up. "Good morning, Yugi. Did you sleep well?" he asked as he sat up. "Yes, I have. And today, I will see if I can free your true nature. I have to or else we all could die and I don't want that." Yugi said and he nodded as he woke Aqua up and they both left out the pet store, waving goodbye to Varn and Chailen as they left.
The people greeted them with friendly smiles and wonderful gifts which Yugi gladly accepted. When they got to the park, Jou and Kaiser were there with the two wolves. "Hey, Jou! Kaiser!" Yugi greeted as he ran over to them. "Hey, Yugi! Glad to see you're alright." He said as he looked up to Yami and Aqua. "So, those are the demons that you're taking care of." Kaiser said, petting Aqua's head lightly and he purred before licking his cheek playfully.
He laughed softly and pat Aqua's head once more before pulling away. "So, what brings you here?" Kaiser asked. "Well, I was going to see if I can bring out Yami and Aqua's true nature. There's an evil out there that has ruin Yami and Aqua's life in the past and killed off their mate.
"Because of it, they went into a rage which contain great power and two people wanted to harness that rage to take over the world. And since they are here now and I'm with them, those people may come after them once again to harness that rage and to succeed, they might kill me since I know Yami and Aqua love me just like their mate 3,000 years ago." Yugi explained and they nodded.
"So, why are you here and when did you get those dogs?" Yugi asked as they went to sit in a small clearing. "Well, they're actually wolves and they came from Anzu's lawn. Diamond placed a jinx on her and she was running from a pack of them last night because of what she almost did to you. These two happened to follow us back home and they seemed to want to stay with us. I don't know why but I couldn't deny that fact that they want to stay with us." Jou said.
The brown wolf walked over to him and licked his cheek before relaxing in his lap and Jou stroked his head. "Jou, I know them. I know the wolves." Aqua said. Yugi looked up to him. "Really, you know them. But how?" Yugi asked. "I'm starting to remember a little bit of my past. We had friends but we all got separated. Two of them was a wolf and their names were Seto and Ruby. Seto is a brown furred, blue eyed wolf and Ruby is a red-orange, ruby eyed wolf." Yami said.
Jou looked down to Seto to see if it was true and the wolf nodded. "So you're really a 3,000 year old wolf? How intriguing." Jou murmured. "Is there anything else we need to know about them?" Kaiser asked as he pat Ruby's head. "If I remember correctly, they can become a mortal form when you want them to." Yami said and came closer to him. "When they change into their mortal form by themselves though, they want to use that time to mate with their chosen one and I do believe that's you." Yami whispered, causing Jou to blush.
"Nah, I don't think Seto here would want me as a mate." Jou said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. Seto whimpered and nuzzled him and Jou looked to him. "You really want me as your mate, don't you?" he asked and Seto nodded. "Well, I guess I can't change your mind then so I'll accept to being your mate." Jou said with a smile. Seto barked happily and nuzzled him again. Yugi smiled. "It's nice to see you happy, Jou." Yugi said.
"Hey, at least I'm helping Seto. Who knew how he could've felt without a mate, for 3,000 years no less." Jou murmured. "I feel the same for Yami and Aqua. They had a mate long ago but that evil force I told you about took them away from them and they were very sad. I don't want them to feel like that again and I think I may have a way how I can help them free their true nature again." Yugi said and looked to Yami again.
"How?" he asked. "Do you think you can remember any more of your friends from 3,000 years ago? If we can find them, they might help them regain their memories so they can be prepared for the evil that's to come."
"But how can we possibly find them? They could be somewhere else and they probably won't remember Yami and Aqua." Kaiser said.
"We have to try. I can't let them be this way because they won't be able to protect me as well. Those men that are coming might have magic from the past. My grandfather told me that people of their time can use shadow magic and if that does happen to be the truth, Yami and Aqua may need their true nature to protect themselves or else they could get really hurt." Yugi explained.
"Wait, maybe Diamond could locate them. Let's head over there and see if we can do so." Jou said as he got up. "Alright." Yugi said as Yami picked him up and they all headed to Ryou and Diamond's house, unaware of who was watching.
'Well, there he is and I bet he will go to Diamond to curse me with more curses. I won't let him do so.' Anzu thought as she followed them, thinking of ways to get rid of Yugi so she could take claim of Yami and Aqua.
When they reached the house, Yugi knocked on the door. Diamond opened it and she smiled, letting them in. "So Yugi, I see you're alright." She said. "Yeah, I'm fine but I won't be if we don't free Yami and Aqua's true demon nature. My friends, Varn and Chailen told me the story of Yami and Aqua's past and I need to help the regain their true nature before two horrible men comes here and tries to kill me off to harness Yami and Aqua's rage." Yugi said.
"Oh dear, that does pose a problem. Come up to my room." Diamond said and they followed her upstairs and into her room. She sat down on the floor and they sat beside her. "So, what do you have in mind to bring out Yami and Aqua's true nature?" she asked. "Well, Yami and Aqua told me, Jou and Kaiser that they had friends in Ancient Egypt but they got separated and we have no clue where they could be. We were able to find Seto and Ruby but they can't think of any of their other friends." Yugi said.
"Hmm, this may pose a problem because their memory was sealed but I might be able to do something. Yami and Aqua, come here for a sec." she called and they did as she told. She placed a hand on their foreheads and concentrated quietly, Jou, Yugi and Kaiser watching silently. A wispy mist started to rise from them and started to show a blurry image.
"I see something but they're too blurry." Yugi said. "I can't make out anything else, their minds are still saddened by their lost and their pain. Can you help me out, Yugi?" Diamond asked and he nodded as he crawled closer to Yami and Aqua. He rubbed Yami's back and whispered soothing words to them both. They calmed down a little more and she thanked Yugi for his head as the picture became more clearer.
"What do you see, Jou?" he asked. "Ok, I see Seto and Ruby and there are also two jaguars and two jackals. They are different from how they should look so I'm guessing they're demons." Jou explained. Diamond nodded as removed her hands. "Well, we know how they look now the problem is finding them. I'll see if I can track them so why don't you guys head home and come over tomorrow. Bring Malik and Topaz so they can get in to what's happening." Diamond said and they nodded.
"Ok. Thanks for you help, Diamond." Yugi said. "No problem. I'm always here to help." Diamond said with a smile. They waved to her as they left and Anzu hid herself behind the corner of the building. 'I have to get him away somehow but how is the problem.' she thought and headed home although dreading it since it's overrun with bugs but she rather be there then outside with a hungry pack of wolves.
When Yugi locked the door to the game shop, Aqua nuzzled him lightly. "Do you think we will get our true demon nature back soon, Yugi?" he asked. "I'll make sure of it. I won't let you get hurt and I know you will do the same for me. We will protect each other until we take care of them and then, we can live our lives safe and sound." Yugi said and he smiled, nuzzling him again.
Yugi yawned and looked to Aqua. "Come on, Aqua. Let's go ahead and get some rest. We may be up all day seeing if we can locate your friends. They may turn out to be the only key we need to bring back your demon personality so you can be as you was before." Yugi said and Aqua nodded as he picked up Yugi and headed upstairs.
He placed Yugi in bed and pulled the covers over to him before kissing his cheek lightly. "Sweet dreams, Yugi." He said softly before heading over next to Yami and lied beside him and fell asleep.
Not far away, two men located where Yami and Aqua have gone to and was making their was to them, prepared to kill the person that they could have chosen for their new mate.
Zypher: Well, that's all for this chapter, I hoped you enjoyed it.
