Darkened Innocence

Chapter 6

The nest day, high up in the sky, a dragon was flying overhead, making her way towards Domino. 'Hopefully Yugi is alright. I've been gone for so long and he may have gotten hurt or worse, caught and taken to that institution.' she thought as she soon saw Japan and dove into a descent, heading straight into Domino.

After their morning meal of flesh, they decided to spend a day at the park. After getting dressed and concealing any forms that would reveal them as demons, they left from the house and headed to the park, Naori staying behind. Yugi was happy to spend time with the newly formed demons, promising himself with every fiber of his being that he would protect them. 'I just hope Jisaki doesn't try anything that will somehow reveal them as demons and take them back.' he thought as they soon reached the park and Aqua went to play with the small children that were already there, Yami and Yugi sitting on a park bench to watch him.

They were unaware that one of Jisaki's men were there, watching them with curiosity but still didn't recognize them. 'I wonder...' he thought as he moved to walk past them, taking a glimpse at them and saw that one had amethyst eyes while the other had familiar scarlet eyes. He smirked as he walked off and then hid behind a tree, taking out a phone. "Jisaki, I found them. They're currently at the park." The man spoke.

Jisaki smirked and hung up the phone after telling the man to try and figure out some way to capture them. 'Well, we finally found them. Now the tricky part is capturing at least one of them.' he thought as he got up from his seat to plan some ways of capturing them.

'There has to be someway and I'll figure it out cause I know that little demon will protect those no good brats of mine.' he thought then an idea came to mind. He smirked. 'That's it, the perfect way to capture at least one of them.' With that, he went to call the man that had told him of their location.

When they were ready to leave, they called to Aqua who waved back to the children before walking over to them. After getting the info he needed, the man ran off to gather with the group waiting for him. Yami, Yugi and Aqua headed towards where they were hiding, talking about the day before Yami cried out as a net was thrown over him. Yugi gasped. "Yami!" he cried and ran over to him, trying to get the net off of him but with that momentum, another net was thrown, capturing Aqua. They became their demon forms, trying to get free but the nets never gave. Yugi turned back, seeing them dragging Aqua over to a truck. "No!" he snarled, punching out the guy holding onto Yami's net and ran over to them, tackling one of them but another ran over, grabbing the other net and quickly made his way to the truck.

'This is hopeless, there's too many and if I leave one of them alone, the others will get whoever is unprotected.' Yugi thought and sighed, tears coming to his eyes. 'I knew I couldn't protect them both.' But he looked up when he heard a roar and a red dragon dove in, knocking the guy that held Yami's net away and ripped it off with ease. "Keara!" he called, his tears becoming those of happiness and she smiled over to him before glaring at the men. Yami quickly made his way back over to Yugi, wrapping his arms around the smaller demon and patted his arm. "It's alright now. Keara finally came back and she'll protect us. Come, help me free Aqua." Yami nodded and soon rid of the net that around Aqua. Yugi helped him stand and watched as Keara glared down the men. One took out a net and tried to get her with it but she easily batted it away before slamming them with her tail.

"Hurry and get back home! I'll hold them off!" she called, looking to them and Yugi nodded as he helped them get back to their small home. Yami looked back to them, seeing the men getting up once more to fight with Keara but one looked straight at him and he shivered before he was taken into the alley.

When they got back, Naori greeted them with a small nuzzle before they went to sit in the living room. "What are we going to do now, Yugi? We probably can't stay here since they will know who we are easily." Yami said. "And I know Jisaki will do everything he possibly can to find and capture us just like today." Yugi shook his head, placing a hand over Yami's. "We won't have to leave. Keara's here and she'll watch over us like she did with me. If we have to leave then she'll find a place for us." Yami nodded and laid his head upon Yugi's shoulder, legs stretched out upon the couch. Yugi gently stroked his head, hoping that Keara will come back soon.

When she did, Yami and Aqua were already asleep but Yugi stayed awake to wait for her. "Yugi, glad to see you again." she said with a smile. "I'm glad to see you again as well." She then looked to Yami and Aqua, eyes holding question. "Are they..." she started and he nodded. "Yes. I'll tell you the story." Yugi murmured and told her the story of what happened and how he was given the opportunity to help Yami and Aqua in their time of need. "If I wasn't there to help them, they would probably be worse than they are right now. They're still depressed that their father used them for one of his experiments and are feeling worse since he's hunting them down. After today, they know what to look out for in order to catch them." He fisted his hands on the tattered pants he wore.

"And I don't want anything to happen to them. I already gotten this far with them and if I fail them now...I just can't forgive myself." he whispered. Keara placed a hand over his clenched ones, looking down to him. "Don't worry. I'm here now and I will help as much as I possibly can. They have placed their life in your hands and I know you will do everything you can possibly do to help them. I will also help and together, we will take down that institution and get rid of Jisaki for good." Keara said.

He looked to her and then to Yami's sleeping form. "You're right. If I have done this much to help them, I know I can help them even more. They put their trust in me and I'm not going to have that trust break." Yugi said and she smiled. "You have really changed from when I was here last and I'm happy for that. Hopefully, you will care for them like I have done for you since they are new to being demons." Keara said and he nodded.

Jisaki got a report from the men and knew his chances of capturing Yami and Aqua will be more a problem now that they have a dragon protecting them. 'But since we know how they appear without their demonic features, capturing them when they're vulnerable shouldn't be too hard as long as they're out alone.' A scientist walked in, holding a newer form of the demon formula. "Sir," she spoke softly and he turned to her. "What is it?!" he demanded. "We finally learned of a way to make the demon formula so it won't be painful during the change but we need a test subject to make sure we are right in our assumptions."

Jisaki nodded and got up from his chair. "And you'll get them soon. So far, I believe them to be only half mortal but if we give them the rest of the serum, they will become complete demons with more strength and power than any of the demons that are in the city now." Jisaki said. She nodded and when she was told, she left to place the newly made formula away. 'Soon, the subjects will be back where they belong.' he thought before he left for the night.

Once Yami and Aqua were put to bed, Yugi headed to his room with Keara, sitting down on the edge of the bed. "So, what are we going to do about Jisaki?" Yugi questioned, looking up to her. "I'll deal with him. You will only need to worry about making sure Yami and Aqua stay safe. I don't know what that man could be up to but as long as he had his men out there, they may find out about this area but luckily, they won't know of the house since I'll have a shield up but if they follow, they may be able to slip through where they couldn't and will cause a problem." Keara said.

"What do you mean?" he asked. "When either of you go through the shield, the shield will be neutralized while you or they go through. The men themselves can't go through because it would send a shock through them if they tried to get through. However if they follow closely behind you, Yami or Aqua, they could easily run through without the shield harming them and get pass the barrier covering the house." Keara explained and he nodded.

"I'll make sure to be careful when that happens. If need be, I'll find a new home for me, Yami and Aqua so we won't be found so easily if they do happen to come this way. I will travel to the ends of the earth to make sure they're safe." Yugi said with determination. She smiled and nodded. "And I'm glad you will but I can also tell that a relationship will grow form this. Maybe not now but with your care and determination, it will soon grow into love. Your love may be put to the test but they will be there for you and so will I." she said.

Yugi nodded once more then a thought came to mind. "Keara, do you think that you could actually change Yami and Aqua back to their regular forms?" She contemplated the thought and nodded. "Yes, I could but did you already let them have their first human meal?" she questioned and he nodded. "Then it may be hard. Since they got a taste for human flesh, it will be harder to transform them back since their stomach and digestive system had changed to accept flesh, bone and blood and they will soon accept hunting and killing once you teach them how." she said.

He sighed lightly, nodding slowly before he decided it was time for him to get some sleep as well and she nodded, bidding him goodnight as she left out the room. He turned out the lights, snuggling under the covers and fell asleep, his dreams filled of the upcoming future that he will share with Yami and Aqua. 'But I really wished to give them their normal lives back but if they wish to stay as demons and be under my care, then I can do that much for them and maybe what Keara told me will come true.' he thought.

Zypher: And that's all for this chapter. Keara's back and she ready to kick some Jisaki butt. Anyways, I do hope you all enjoyed the chapter and will be waiting for the next which I hope won't take that long to get out like this one. See you soon.

Edit: Discontinued but may return back to it soon with a different take.
