SUCCESS! I have managed to get this chapter touched up!
Bakura: What now?
Neopets killed a netbook and I now have a used off-brand that works! I'm so relieved to finally have a computer that has a normal-sized screen. I missed toting around a laptop.
Bakura: You're weird for a girl.
Better not say that around Amethyst-Jade. She's armed with Barney and other various preschool shows.
Ryou: Sorry about the delay.
I'm on a roll with new chapters! This one, however, is dedicated to Candy! Thanks for telling me what you think. Sorry for the delay in updating. Hope you all enjoy!
Shai growled in frustration as he paced just outside of the barrier that the owner of the land had placed to ward off creatures like him. He could see the three boys sitting on the back porch talking to each other and casting weary glances at the back door. The smallest of the three was the primary target above the other two as he seemed to be the one that the group treasured more. Even his two friends panicked when he stumbled to his feet after sitting for so long.
A sudden flash nearly knocked the Shadow-Tracker to his knees. He hissed in irritation as he caught bits and pieces of images, three males laughing in a garden, four faces in a body of water, two of them alike. A man reaching out to one of the boys to wrap him in a hug, horses, knives, swords, blood...
Shai regained his senses and vanished into the shadows, determined to resume his hunt after visiting his master for another treatment.
Not far off, the Angel, growing frustrated at not locating the Hunters that stole his blood, decided to do something drastic. He decided that he was going to risk possibly killing whomever his blood was given to, if that were the case. The Angel was going to send a Seal and shut off whatever benefits that person had received. Little did he know that what he was going to do was far worse.
Ryou was happily sipping on a lightly sweetened iced tea when he felt a burning sensation. Yugi was enjoying his meatloaf sandwich that had cooked garlic in the meat when he started to choke. Malik dropped his silverware as if it had burned him. Ryou and Yugi collapsed on the porch and Malik cried out in pain, alerting those inside of their situation.
Atem rushed to his brother's side and checked to see if there was anything blocking his airway. Bobby noticed that each boy had burns where Ryou's specially made tea had made contact with their skin. He also saw Malik's burned hand, "Get away from them, Atem!"
"They need help Dad," Atem argued as Bakura and Marik were caught by John and Dean.
John pulled him away by his arm, "Those things aren't your brothers. They aren't human, they're monsters."
Dean carefully checked the teeth of an unconscious Yugi, "Holy %^&*! these kids are vamps!"
Bobby glared at his son, "Tie them up and put them in the Panic Room. My boy needs to understand that I don't appreciate being lied to."
"Dad, I can explain," Atem pleaded as Joshua, Caleb, and Sam tied up the younger males. Dean was holding Malik down as Caleb tied him up. "Please don't do this to Yugi, to the Hikaris. Dad, please." Tears were running down his face.
Bobby shook his head, "You lied to me. You brought those things into my house and put all of us at risk."
"Dad, please listen," Atem pleaded as he was dragged back inside by John. He, Bakura, and Marik were locked in his room with two people standing guard at the door.
Yugi came to feeling like he had swallowed a steel-wool pad and downed a bottle of Marik's hot sauce. He tried to sit up only to find that he had been tied to a cot. The small Hikari groaned in irritation. He heard the sound of a heavy metal door opening and raised his head as much as he could. "YAMI! Where are we? What happened? Da..."
"Don't call me Dad, you monster," Bobby growled.
Yugi whimpered in fear, "Yami?"
"Atem is here to learn a lesson. All vampires are the same," Bobby stated as he drew blood from Atem's arm with a syringe. "They thrive off of fresh blood and will kill to get it."
Atem tried to stop his father as Bobby dripped the blood on Yugi's face. "Dad! Don't! Yugi doesn't deserve this!"
The small vampire refused to drink his brother's blood, practically biting his lips to keep the fluid out. He struggled to get away from the syringe that the man who had wanted to adopt him was torturing him with. When the vial was empty, Yugi looked up with tears rolling down his cheeks and mingling with his twin's blood, "Why?" He fainted, emotionally drained.
Bobby looked disgusted with himself when he realized that he had stooped to Gordon's level and at the same time, ruined what trust the small boy had in him. He looked to Atem who had grabbed a washcloth and was wiping his blood from Yugi's face, "Son? I'm..."
"Don't you dare apologize to me, Father," Atem growled. "I'm just glad that you didn't decide to tie them up outside to burn in the sun. I'm calling for someone to help remove them from here. Unless the Hikaris say otherwise, I don't want to see anyone from here at the Mansion. We're leaving despite what you say or do. But know this, to kill Yugi, you have to kill me."
Atem met their ancestors outside and gently passed a wrapped bundle to Atemu. "We'll meet you at the Mansion soon. They need medical attention as they have suddenly developed an allergy to everything used as vampire wards. I have to explain a few things to my 'father'."
Atemu shifted the bundle carefully, "Atem, do not be angered at him. Remember that he was the one who raised you, cared for you, and protected you from danger. In his eyes, he was trying to keep you from harm. Merely explain to him their conditions and he might understand."
"I can't just say 'Hey, Dad, I've got this massive secret. You know how I've been asking 'what if' questions and hinting at my discovery? Well, our twin brothers are those Hikari Vampires I've been talking about. You know…Angel-Vampire Hybrids.'" Atem barked out a sarcastic laugh, "Like he'd ever understand that one."
"I would have had you told the truth, son," Bobby stated, startling Atem.
Atem glared at him, "Father."
"Look, son, I want to apologize."
"You've done enough."
"At least explain what's going on," Bobby pleaded.
Atemu decided that it was past time to leave and motioned to his two friends to follow his lead home.
Yugi: Yami's dad's really mean.
I know. Sorry about that, Yugi.
Yugi: That's ok. He's a bit rough in Supernatural anyways. He has to be if he works with the Winchesters regularly.
Bobby: FINALLY! Someone that understands the crap I go through!
X.X
Malik: Is PhantomBrat dead? I think Uncle Bobby killed her…
Yami: Jerk.
Bobby: Idjit.
Bakura: Fools.
Mariku: Mariku.
Bakura: Meet 'frying pan' Mariku.
Mariku: Hello Frying…*Klunk*
Ryou/Yugi: We're surrounded by idoits.
Malik: Until next time…
