"Chapter 5: Busted"
XxXx
When different worlds collide
Hearts will be torn
Yami took a deep breath and turned his glare to Bakura. "What the hell are you doing here, Bakura?" he asked, irritation coloring his voice.
The awkwardness and tense silence stretched between the other foxes and Bakura. The albino dark fox rolled his eyes and lazily held a hand up, yawning. "No need to kill me with your glare, Yami. I just so happened to pass by in your little charade and..." he trailed off, eyes catching on Ryou's form.
Ryou's breathing hitched, his eyes locking with the other fox. A silent understanding passed between the two white foxes.
Yugi twitched slightly and looked over at two white headed males. He coughed softly. "Will you tell your elders then? That Yami has just so happened to stumble upon us?" he asked, raising a brow slightly, even though his insides were squirming.
Bakura shook his head to snap out of the staring contest against Ryou. He turned his sharp stare to Yugi and grunted. "Well that would be no fun would it?" he smirked. "I'll keep this a secret, it's interesting to see so many different elements gathering in one place,"
"Especially that ice fox over there." he smirked over Ryou's way. The ice fox blushed and sputtered, looking down in embarrasment.
Yami made a small noise between a strangled cat and a dying whale. "Disgusting!" he chided at Bakura, rolling his eyes. Yugi groaned. "Harlot." he mumbled underneath his breath. Bakura paid no mind while Ryou still sputtered.
Yugi and Yami glanced at each other, breaths caught in their throats as they stared, loosing themselves in each other's eyes. Unconciously, they leaned closer to each other.
CRASH!
Yugi and Yami jumped away from one another, looking bemused and whipping their heads to the noise. Both Ryou and Bakura were tangled up, limb from limb, both of them caught in a net. The harsher look alike hissed and yelped. "Fuckers! Let me out of here!" he yelled.
Ryou hissed, pupils turning into slits as he tried to free himself and the other dark fox from the net.
Yami gasped, as he was yanked away from Yugi, being tied down all of a sudden. The dark fox let out a cry of pain and Yugi was forced to be seized away as well, a cry of agony escaping him. "No!" he cried out mournfully. "Let me go!"
"Not a chance."
XxXx
Yugi froze, his whole body stiffening as he heard the voice. He knew that voice... They shouldn't have been able to catch up with him... but why?
Mechanically, the light fox turned around and stared in fear at the large burly man who held him. They were the guards of their clan, a dragon of some different kind. Nature it seemed. The youth shuddered as the blonde-burly man huffed and stared at him, large wings opening in a threatening way. "You have violated the law of seeing other kitsunes. Therefore, the elders will move your 'dance' in a week's time." the man said uncaringly, his voice emphasising on the dance part. It was filled with menace and a challenge of combating his superiority.
The other four kitsunes stilled, eyes widening at what they just heard. Dance? What did the dragon mean? Was it some kind of ritual? Or anything?
Yami's mind supplied endless questions, trying to know what the hell they were talking about. 'What does he mean in 'dance'? Yugi's not partaking in something, right?'
The air hung thick with silence, enough to suffocate anyone who was not used to the stillness before--
Yugi whimpered, his heart seizing to beat for a moment before he struggled, trying to break away from the large man. "Keith! I demand you to let me go! Screw the rules! What did the other foxes ever do to us?! That rule is stupid and you know it!" Yugi yelled.
Keith narrowed his eyes, gritting his teeth and growling but Yugi did not back down and instead continued his speech.
Yami's eyed widened as he saw Keith's fist ball into a fist. "Y-Yugi... Don't continue--" he started, clawing at the nets and thrashing about.
"Screw the elders, screw everyone who ever believes that rule is superior and that we can't see other elemental kitsunes! You are all cowards for putting up a stupid court that can't even make peace with others! You dragons are loyal to stupid persons and you know it! I--"
Yugi never finished his rant when a fist collided to the right side of his cheek. The light fox let out a cry as he fell to the ground with a harsh 'thump'.
Screams of 'YUGI!' rang out from the other three foxes who were trapped (well more on Ryou and Yami's side. Bakura just yelled out 'Shrimp').
Keith growled threateningly at the male, his teeth bared and his fist clenched, claws already out. "You have crossed the line, little kitsune. I will personally make sure that the elders can and will move your sacrifice in 2 days time."
Yami gasped in horror. Ryou cried out in agony at the news they had just heard.
Yugi was going to be a sacrifice?! No that couldn't be! He can't be!
Ryou thrashed around, hitting Bakura in the process. The albino dark fox yelped. "You stupid son of a bitch! You can't do this to our friend!" the ice fox screamed, clawing at the unbreakable magical nets. "Mongrel! Coward reptile!" Ryou snapped insult after insult.
Yami struggled against the binds. "You can't do this! They can't do this to Yugi! What did he ever do wrong?!" Yami defended, his tails trying to flair but failing to do so since he was currently trapped. "What has he got to do that the elders have to sentence him to be a sacrifice?!"
Keith turned to the yapping foxes boredly. He turned to Yugi and watched as the light fox hissed at him, pupils slit and tails flairing, his ears flattening downards as he bared his fangs. "You..." he started.
The dragon smirked. "Wanna fight?" he challenged.
Yugi tensed, his form quaking, the hand on his injured cheek lowered slowly. He stood up on fours and hissed, tails frazzling, his form morphing from human to fox and then back again. With a might cry, Yugi launched an ice attack, the frost running to the dragon, spidery and fast, being weaved like a fabric as it went to the burly man in a flash of blue.
Keith spit out fire, the red hot flames hissing on contact with the ice.
What the dragon did not expect was the sparks of light shooting off from Yugi and then heading straight to the fire spitting man.
Yami, Ryou, and Bakura started thrashing wildly, clawing at the nets again until they felt the slight tear of the thin spider like webs of nylon. Their struggling began anew as they kept clawing at the nylon. "Dont give up!" Ryou encouraged.
"We're working on that, ice fox!" Bakura snapped. Yami growled in frustration, feeling his hands go numb at the clawing.
Keith kept on blowing out columns of fire, only to be cut off as a light sphere collided on his chest, cutting off the air supply of the dragon and making him crash to a tree with a loud 'crack'. The dragon coughed and growled, panting, trying to get air back into his lungs. "You bitch!" he snapped.
Yugi hissed, ice and light spheres hovering above his palm like souls that wanted revenge, his eyes glowed a hauntung purple, splashes of gold and blues swirling like inky goo. "Take another step and I will obliterate you." he warned.
Keith paid no head at Yugi's warning and lunged at the fox, his wings opening to try and distract the youth, perhaps to scare him away but Yugi did not falter and instead stood his ground. His tails flaired again and he screeched, the orbs in his hands flying and spiralling to Keith's general direction. The dragon dodged and jumped up to Yugi, knocking him to the ground, pinning the light fox to the ground.
The tri haired fox struggled and thrashed, snapping and growling at the man. "Get off me so I can kill you!" Yugi snapped, teeth bared as he kicked and thrashed, his hands pinned to his sides. His pupils were mere horizontal slits, teeth dripping from his rabid state. All in all, Yugi looked horrifying.
Keith raised his fist, eyes narrowing on the lithe form of the light fox.
Ryou screamed. "YUGI!!"
Yami's eyes widened. "NO!
Bakura growled. "FUCKER! LET THE SHRIMP GO!"
Yugi was knocked unconcious, his vision going black.
The last thing he heard were his friend's screaming and Yami's voice calling out to him.
XxXx
Yugi woke up not in his house but in the court of the elders, form bowed down and knees planted firmly on the floor. His eyes widened as he looked around and saw the faces of the elders.
They wore disapproving frowns and stared at Yugi with disinterested eyes, searching his soul that it made the light fox tremble at the sheer intensity of their gazes.
The oldest of them all, the male with dark night hair, spoke. "Why did you break the law of us, light kitsunes?" his tone was low, deadly, venom dripping in every calm word he spoke. Yugi flinched and did not look up.
The silence stretched.
"Why couldn't that stupid law be broken?"
The female on the right side of the oldest kitsune raised a brow. "Pardon?" she asked, her voice steady, ear twitching slightly.
Yugi looked up, conviction in his eyes that the elders had never seen before, causing them to lean back slightly in surpise.
"Why couldn't that stupid law be broken? Aren't we supposed to be the fox of light and harmony? Aren't we the ones who bring peace instead of separation? Why can't we just make peace with the other clans?" he asked, voice steady and strong even though he was scared on the inside, he would not let the elders break him.
The older foxes did not answer and Yugi asked again.
"Can we? Answer me." he whispered.
The eldest spoke. "You know nothing of what happened in the past, child." he growled, actually growled, causing the hairs on the back of Yugi's neck to stand. "You will say no more of this and that's final. As your punishment, we will move the ceremony tomorrow, either if you're prepared or not, you will be sacrificed for breaking the law that our clan has established."
The elders nodded, their faces set in a hard look.
Yugi stared at them all, wide eyed.
His spirit shattered and crumbled, his heart getting sweeped away by the winds with a vengeance at the declaration.
