Ch. 2 An old enemy
He stood their for at least ten minutes before he heard or did anything. A high cackling laugh that sent a shiver down his spine made him stand straight up. He recognized that laugh belonging to a teenage boy named Bakura. Zeke turned to the house, and climbed in the same way that Lillith did, finding any little crack or crevice he could put his hand and foot onto. He dropped in through an open window, and found himself in a large master bedroom. Lillith was on the floor next to a bed, unconscious. Above her, reaching for the tiara was a long-silver haired boy. He was slightly taller then Zeke, wearing a white sweater and blue jeans. A bright golden ring with a triangle in the center of the design dangled from his neck on a thin string.
"You sick sadistic jerk," Zeke yelled, catching his attention. Bakura looked up, and a smirk crawled across his face.
"I've been called worse then that," he said, standing straight, leaving Lillith behind him. Zeke was struck suddenly with something sharp that stabbed into his right eye. He staggered back, and pulled out what looked like an arrowhead piece. It had struck his eye, and made a large line cut from his eyebrow, and traveled down to just below his lower eyelashes. Blood flowed down his face as half his vision became utterly red.
With his other eye, Zeke saw a fist heading for his face, and ducked just in time. He retaliated by upper cutting into Bakura's stomach. Bakura doubled over, and was pushed back. Zeke quickly grabbed a knife attached to his waste, and was ready for Bakura to attack once again.
The evil Yami stood up, angry and annoyed. "Your in my of obtaining all the items once again," he said.
"That's right," Zeke said, waving his knife in Bakura's face. This particular combat knife had been seen by Bakura once before. At the Duelist Kingdom Tournament, Zeke had been ordered to retrieve the Millennium eye after Pegasus' defeat. Bakura had other ideas, and when Zeke was about to fulfill his mission, Bakura had punched the back of his head, almost making him black out. They fought for a while before Bakura managed to take Zeke's own knife and piercing it straight through Zeke's shoulder.
Bakura rushed forward, intent on tackling Zeke to the floor. Jumping to the side, Zeke managed to dodge the attack, and made a long slice across Bakura's back. It wasn't a cut deep enough to seriously hurt him, but was enough to momentarily paralyze him. Taking quick action, Zeke replaced the knife to its sheath, and lifted the limp form of Lillith into his arms, and jumped out the window. With the help of his magic, Zeke managed to make a soft landing, and began to walk out into the night. His right eye was horribly mangled, and he was half blind. He hoped Lillith didn't have the same problems he had.
