Zypher: So many reviews and I only went to sleep for 4 hours. But I love you all anyway. Yes, suspense always kills but it leads to good, or bad, things. Don't worry all, you know I would never have anyone succeed with breaking Yami and Yugi apart. Try and mess with them to that point yes but have their love completely shattered, can't even keep up with that, I love them too much to separate them. Anyways, enough of my ramblings. Thanks for reviewing the last chapter and here's the next for you and remember, your anger feeds Yami's once he learns what's going on. Enjoy.
Fallen Angel, Rekindled Soul
Chapter 2
Once the two lovers were asleep, the spirit above got to work. 'Alright, Yami. Let's just see what we can awaken in you.' she thought as she slipped into his dreams.
-Dream-
Yami was at peace, Yugi by his side and not one soul ruining their time together. It was a cool winter's night, Yugi was speaking words of love quietly to him as they sat in the palace gardens and he was enjoying himself hearing those words. Soon, a gust of wind blew by and Yugi stopped speaking. He wondered why and looked down to not see Yugi there, but another. He growled and pushed the girl away from him, standing up. "Why are you here?" he demanded and the girl only laughed as she stood.
"Only just to see you." she said, brushing some of her flowing brown hair behind her back as she walked over to him, stopping when she heard another growl emit from him. "And how did you get in here exactly? This is my dream and only a skilled magician can get in. Not some pathetic human unless you what I think you are." he hissed. She laughed once more, walking over to him and wrapped her arms around him from behind, keeping his arms bound. "A succubus? Correct you are." she said with a grim smile. "But you wouldn't believe exactly who I am unless I told you."
He snarled and flared out his wings, pushing the succubus away and glared at her. "I suggest you leave now or else I'll kill you here and now." he grounded out but she only laughed once again. "How can you kill me? This is only your dreams and I can come and go as I please and mind you, until I succeed in what I have planned, I'll be coming more often." she said and he growled and lunged for her but she disappeared, her laugh echoing through the silent garden. "You won't escape me. Soon, you'll be moaning out another name and break your little angel's heart." she said, her voice echoing through the garden along with her grating laugh.
"I like to see you try. Yugi is my one and only and no succubus is going to ruin the life I share with him." he said as the dream scape soon faded away.
-End Dream-
He woke up, looking around, growling menacingly. Yugi woke up when he felt him move from his side and rubbed his eyes cutely, becoming aware of the king's growling. "Yami, is something wrong?" he asked. Yami stopped growling and looked down to him, a small smile gracing his features. "No, nothing is wrong now. Just a bad dream but everything's alright now. Get some more rest, little one." Yami replied, leaning down to kiss Yugi's forehead and the young angel smiled before he lied back down, going back to sleep once more.
Once he was asleep again, Yami's crimson eyes narrowed as he looked around the room. 'You may have got into my dreams once but I'm not going to let entry be so easy again.' he thought, knowing the succubus is still around. He lied back down beside Yugi, wrapping an arm around him and fell asleep once more, guarding his mind from anymore entries from the succubus. 'It's about time I call for Keara again. She'll deal with this little problem easily.'
The next day, the three angels found some spare servant outfits and after hiding their wings and angel clothing, they left out the room they found in hopes to find Yugi somewhere. "I say we should split up. It will give us a better chance of finding him somewhere since this palace is so big." Razia said and they nodded and soon went into different halls, Sereg coming into the dining hall, Razia near the gardens and Win in the throne room.
Sereg, being seen by another servant, was asked to help get breakfast set onto the table. While he was in the kitchen, he was able to hear some of the gossip made by the female servants.
"That little angel he brought in was so cute, wasn't he?"
"Yes, he was and he brings so much happiness to the king. I never saw him any happier. Maybe with him, he will become less of a merciless king."
"Oh, I do hope so."
Hearing this made Sereg think but he didn't ponder on it much as he was given dishes to place out on the table. He did so and waited off to the side, staying silent. It was a while before Yami and Yugi entered and he watched as Yami and Yugi ate, Yami hand feeding Yugi mostly and their laughs were heard as they continued to eat. Sereg watched Yugi closely, seeing how happy the angel was and soon felt that trying to bring the young angel back may cause unwanted results.
'But if the Uppers want him back then we should do as they want. But why does it feel we shouldn't separate them? My angel side wants to follow the orders given but my demon side says that they need to pull their own weight around and stop using other angels to do their bidding.' he thought and sighed softly, closing his eyes. 'Now I don't know which to believe.'
After they were finish breakfast, Yami was ready to head to another meeting and was now standing at the door with Yugi. "I don't know how long this one will last little one so go ahead and head to the gardens if you wish. Take Nnar, Dragoon or Morchaint with you if you do go." Yami said and Yugi nodded. He smiled and leaned down to kiss his cheek softly before standing upright and headed into the council room. Yugi watched as he left with a swish of his black cape before he started to make his way to the gardens.
Razia was already in the gardens, tending to the flowers as told by one of the guards. She mumbled to herself lightly but continued with her job. 'Win would be cursing up a storm if she was given this job if not something that would be boring to her.' she thought and looked up when she heard someone walking in and gasped when she saw it was Yugi. 'And he's not with any beast or the king. I couldn't have gotten a better chance than this.' she thought as she slowly got up, watching Yugi as he went to sit down on a bench and started to make her way over to him.
He kicked his feet lightly as he looked up to the sky, the sun shimmering dimly behind the dark barrier that covered the vampire community. 'Hmm, it's going to be boring out here all alone and Yami stuck in a meeting. Maybe Morchaint will come and play a game with me.' he thought. Razia was behind him and was about to grab him when he stood. "Morchaint? Morchaint, can you come to me, please? I want to play a game." Yugi called and a portal of shadows appeared before the large black beast came.
"Yes, Yugi? Which game do you wish to play?" The beast asked, glancing around to make sure no other was around. He only saw a servant doing their duties and didn't pay no mind to her. "How about Hide and Seek? I'll hide and you seek." Yugi said happily and the beast nodded before he closed his eyes and started to count. Yugi smiled before running off, never noticing that Razia started to follow him silently.
Win grumbled to herself as she stood beside Yami, holding a golden tray. She was roaming the halls around the throne room when a guard caught her and sent her to the kitchen to get a chalice of blood for the king. She would've told the guard off if she didn't knew the dangers of doing so and how pissed Sereg and Razia would've been with her if she was to get herself caught.
So now, here she was, listening to the old vampire council's droning as she held the tray that held the half full chalice. Yami yawned, bored to tears but nodded. "Alright, is there anything else more important than this? Yes I know the angels are coming more frequently now which is making our meals harder to come by but as of now, we can't do anything to help unless we have aid from the demons and I already despise them so chances of that are null." Yami said. The council started to complain and Yami groaned, calling for Win to bring over the chalice and she did so.
He took a sip, wishing he was back in his room with his little angel but with the rate this meeting is progressing, he probably won't return till dinner. 'This is why I hate the council. They complain about every little thing.' he thought.
While Yugi was hiding, Razia came up from behind him, glad that Morchaint didn't look anywhere over here yet. 'Sorry to do this, little one, but the uppers want you back where you belong. Not with some vampire king that keeps you here only for your blood.' she thought and grabbed Yugi quickly, scaring the young angel and he started to panic.
"Let go of me! Let go!" he screamed, looking down and knowing it wasn't Morchaint's grip around him. "Sorry, Yugi, but the Uppers want you back in heaven. They don't want you here with that vampire king." Razia said, unfurling her wings.
"No! No! I don't want to go back! I like being here! Morchaint! Morchaint!!" he cried, struggling in her grip. Morchaint heard his cries and growling, he started making his way towards where he heard the young angel's cries. She saw him coming and quickly flew up into the air, Yugi still struggling in her grip. Tears coursed down his face as she ascended higher. "Dragoon! Dragoon, help me!" he cried and soon, another gate of shadows appeared and the sightless dragon appeared. He sensed Yugi's fear and trailed it to Razia.
She gasped when she saw him coming after her and quickly swerved out of the way to dodge his charge. He sniffed the air lightly, catching Yugi's scent along with that of an angel's and growled. "How dare you come and try to claim back you own? Yugi is fine here with the king." Dragoon hissed as he charged for her again. She moved out the way once more and Yugi knew that it will be hopeless if he didn't do anything. Freeing an arm from her grip, he nudged her hard in her side, making her cry out and loosen her grip around him.
He pushed his way out of her arms, calling for Dragoon since he couldn't open his wings quickly enough, and he quickly zoomed up for him, catching him in his arms before he flew back to the palace. He landed and Morchaint ran over to them. "Here, I'll take him back to the King's quarters. You best go warn Yami that there are angels roaming around the palace. I know those Uppers wouldn't only send one to try and get Yugi." Morchaint said and Dragoon nodded as he handed the still sobbing angel to him and he ran off towards the room while Dragoon disappeared, making his way to the conference room.
Razia looked saddened as she landed once more, hiding her wings. 'Well, that failed horribly and now that Yugi knows who I am by voice, he will call one of those beasts to save him and the king will be more alert once that dragon tells him angels are in the palace.' she thought and soon ran back inside, hoping to find Sereg or Win and tell them of the situation.
Dragoon appeared in the conference room and bowed before Yami. "My king, we have a situation." Dragoon said and Yami raised a hand to halt that council's ramblings and turned his gaze to the dragon. "What is it, Dragoon?" he asked. "There are angels somewhere in the palace and they are trying to capture your personal servant and take him back to heaven." he said and Yami growled as he stood, never seeing Win shaking in fear now that he knows that angels are in his palace.
"This meeting is over. I want every available guard watching out for these angels. Until this situation is settled, I will not be attending any more meetings." Yami said before leaving, dismissing the council, Win and Dragoon.
Before he left though, he heard Dragoon hiss and he looked to him. "What is it now, Dragoon?" he questioned. "An angel is in here." he said, sniffing around and then turned to Win. She gulped and Yami's eyes narrowed. "Grab her." he hissed and Dragoon lunged for her but she ducked and ran out the door. Yami snarled and told the guards to go after her before he left for his room, knowing Yugi will be needing comfort.
Yugi continued to cry, asking for Yami and Morchaint did his best to calm the little angel down, telling him that Yami will be here soon. Luckily enough, Yami entered the room and Morchaint smiled before leaving. Yugi looked up and smiled before jumping into the king's arms, sobbing.
"Yami! They are coming for me! They want to take me back and I don't want to go!" Yugi cried and Yami stroked his head softly, carrying him over to the bed. "Don't worry, my little angel. They will not take you from me. I'll keep you safe." Yami whispered and his words soothed Yugi and he smiled, snuggling closer to him.
"I love you, Yami." he whispered and Yami smiled. "I love you too, my little angel. I will deal with all those that dare try to separate us." he said before letting Yugi lie down on the bed. "Rest, my sweet one. Everything will be alright soon." Yami said and he nodded before he curled up on the bed, falling asleep quickly because he was a tad exhausted from his struggle with Razia.
Yami ran his fingers through the young angel's hair before calling upon Dragoon once more. He appeared in the room, kneeling before him. "Dragoon, I need you to head over to Keara's and tell her that we have a succubus problem. I can deal with the angels myself but I will need her help with the succubus that tries to plague my dreams and cause me to break Yugi's heart." he said and Dragoon nodded before he disappeared once more.
After he was gone, Yami looked back down to his slumbering love. 'I will not let them take you away from me. I have saved you and loved you like you wished and breaking your fragile heart is not something I will do to you.' he thought before lying down beside Yugi and rested beside him, keeping watch over him.
Zypher: And that's it for chapter 2. Now Yami knows that angels are roaming around the palace and Anzu is not wasting any time with her new job as a succubus. Oh what will happen next? Hoped you all enjoyed and will be waiting for more.
