The Darkest Light
Chapter 12
Back
Yami grunted as he sat up, he'd been resting all weekend, and it was time to get up for school Monday morning. "How you feeling sweetie?" Isis asked him as he came down the stairs.
"A lot better. I don't feel as sick anymore."
"Well good. You sure you're okay to go back to school?"
"Yeah, I'm sure."
"Good. Be careful."
"I will."
Yami went back upstairs and got dressed, it was warm out today so he wore red, silk gym shorts that went down past his knees, a black t-shirt with red lettering on it that spelled out his name, and black tennis shoes, his favorite pair for running.
Bakura came out of his own room with a silver pair of silk gym shorts that matched Yami's, a light blue shirt covered his torso, and a light blue pair of Nike high-tops covered his feet. "Noice" Bakura said, slanging his word on purpose.
Yami chuckled at his brother "You're an idiot."
"Yup" he chirped happily, walking with his brother towards the door.
"Bye mom!" Yami called on his way out.
"Bye boys! Have a good day!"
"We will" the two said together, walking down the porch steps.
Yami walked down the sidewalk with his brother at his left. He had this itching feeling that someone was watching/stalking them. "Hey 'Kura?"
"Yeah?"
"D-Do you.. Feel like someone is watching us?"
"You feel it too?"
"I feel really funny" Yami groaned quietly, meeting his brother's eyes.
The two quickly looked behind them, nothing seemed out of place though, and no one was behind them. "C'mon" Bakura said, protectively taking his brother's hand and pulling him forward.
"H-Hey! 'Kura! Slow down!"
Bakura could feel Yami's pulse quicken, he was scared. Bakura stopped, turning to face Yami and placing his hands on Yami's shoulders. "It's okay. We just need to get to some place safe right now. Somewhere where others can see us."
"O-Okay" Yami said, however he didn't look too calmed.
"I'm going to protect you, no matter what."
The younger brother nodded in understanding "Okay."
Yami had always been the brave little brother, but he got scared when he didn't know the danger that lay ahead. He would be confident against bullies, but something like this had him scared. Bakura had always had Yami's back, he never let Yami go in alone. He would never let anyone hurt his brother, not if he could help it.
The two continued to walk forward, Yami observing his surroundings so he could at least identify the threat and be ready for it. He quickened his pace, keeping up easily with Bakura as they continued forward. Bakura could feel his brother trembling, knowing he wasn't so much scared of whatever was there, he was scared because he couldn't identify what that danger was.
As they got closer to the school Yami began to hear foot steps behind them. He turned his head, searching for the source of the noise but finding nothing. "'Kura-?"
"I heard it" he whispered.
Marik stopped on his way down the hallway, giving Yugi and Ryou a chance to catch up to him with Joey behind them. "Hey, do you know if Yami is coming today?" Yugi asked.
"I heard he was" Malik informed them. He turned his head to look back at Marik, noticing how wide his eyes were "What's wrong?"
"Yami" he whispered, running off towards the school doors. Malik and the others followed him to the school steps, wondering what he had meant by that.
Marik didn't have time to explain, he had to find the prince now. He pulled his sweatband up towards his elbow, noticing the black hue that was coming from his piece of the symbol. He sped up his pace, leaving Malik and the others standing at the top of the steps.
Malik saw Marik pull down his sweatband to look at his symbol. Something was wrong, the prince was in danger. He snuck a peek to his own symbol, the little black dot giving off a dark glow. His eyes widened and he looked at Joey who nodded in understanding. The four of them stood there, watching after Marik as he disappeared, and continued standing there even after he was gone. 'Please hurry' he silently prayed.
Yami and Bakura rounded a corner and quickened their pace, only for the footsteps behind them to quicken also. Yami's heart beat began to quicken once again, his hand subconciously tightened around his brother's, school was still a couple blocks away. "C'mon" Bakura said, beginning a run. Yami ran with him, his feet moving on their own while his head turned to search for what was behind them. His eyes widened when he spotted their follower.
"Bakura!"
"C'mon!"
"Get the hell away from them!" Marik's voice growled. The brothers watched as Marik came into view, sliding between them and punching the pursuer in the face. "Bastard!" He turned around and looked at the two who had stopped "GO!"
The two nodded unsurely, and ran off, headed to the school. "Bakura-"
"Stop talking and run, Yami!"
"O-Okay.."
Yami ran after his brother, but they didn't get far before someone else stepped in their path. Yami looked around and noticed three more step out of the shadows "Kura!"
Bakura stood protectively in front of his brother, however being surrounded on all sides really didn't make his protective stance too protective. Yami turned with his back to brother so the two now stood back to back. "'Kura, these things look like robots."
"I was just thinkin' the same thing" Bakura mused, looking at the four machines that stood around them.
"What now?"
"I dunno."
Yami questioned his feelings at that moment. He didn't feel like fighting at all. He felt like giving up, letting himself be captured or killed, or whatever these things wanted. "'Kura."
"Yeah?"
"I don't feel like fighting..."
"What?!"
"I-I just don't want to fight."
"Yami!" Yugi's voice sounded from nearby.
Yami looked around and spotted Yugi running around the corner with Malik, Joey, and Ryou. The robot in front of Yami turned to look at Yugi "Don't even think about it you bitch!" Yami growled, pulling his fist back and slamming it forward. The robot flew into the wall at the left, causing the approaching group to stop.
"Malik! You guys shouldn't be here" Marik growled as he rounded the corner, still fighting with the first guy.
"You guys were taking too long" Malik whined.
"We've kind of got our hands full!" He yelled, ducking from the other man's fist.
"Ah!" Yami yelped as two of the remaining robots grabbed him.
"Yami!" They all yelled together.
"Duck your head you idiot!" A strange voice yelled.
Yami looked over and barely ducked in time to miss the foot that came swinging around. "Are you crazy! You coulda kicked my damn head off!"
"Would've been an improvement. Idiot. Letting yourself be captured like that."
"Oh yeah, because I had complete control over a bunch of ROBOTS!" Yami growled.
"Someone of your stature should be able to handle them just fine."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Yami looked to his left in time to see another robot coming at him. "Face the damn robot!" The guy yelled.
"What?"
"Do as I say dammit!"
"Rude mu-" Yami didn't get to finish his statement as the man grabbed him and turned him towards the robot.
"Arms up, just like this" he said, putting Yami's arms up in front of him in a blocking like manner. "Now, pull this arm back, and drag your foot back with it." The guy pulled back Yami's right arm as if he were going to punch, dragging his right foot back with it. "Now, you wanna protect your friends right?"
"Yeah."
"Then tell yourself that!"
"What?"
"Focus!"
Yami did as he was told, focusing all of his energy into his fist. His eyes widened when black lightning began to spark from his fist, but his attention was soon returned to the approaching robot. "Now, send that son of a bitch flying!"
"Right!" Yami growled, twisting his body and throwing his fist forward, releasing the electric punch on the robot, causing it to explode.
Yami's eyes widened once again, turning towards his hand which was now completely back to normal. "Wh-What was that?"
"Something that only you can do" the guy told him.
"Wh-Why only me?"
"Because of-"
"Shut up" Marik growled, warning the newcomer to shut the hell up.
The newcomer gave Marik a funny look before narrowing his ice blue eyes. "And where the hell were you when he was in danger?!"
"I was handling the first threat idiot!"
"Better start doing your job better!"
"I'll show you, you son of a-"
"Marik" Malik soothed, wrapping his arms around Marik. "Listen, Marik was fighting the other guy, he can only do so much at once."
"Besides, last I checked you only kicked those two off him, Yami did the rest."
Yugi walked over and stood by Yami's side, wondering what the confrontation was about. The newcomer had mullet-like brown hair, cold blue eyes, he was taller than Yami, and wore a long white coat, a blue collared shirt, and black dress pants with black leather shoes. "Yami?"
"Yeah?"
"Who is that?"
"I dunno. Hey, who are you anyway?" Yami asked, interrupting the argument.
"The name is Seto Kaiba. And we need to go."
"Go? Go where?"
"The mutt and I will take the two younger ones home."
"'Ey!"
"You two bopsie twins get these two home. We've gotta make sure their family is okay."
"What? Wait! What do these people want?!"
"No time to explain!" Marik said, grabbing Yami's hand and pulling him back towards his house.
"Let's go mutt!"
"Yer not very nice" Joey mumbled.
"And you look like dog. Now shut up and let's go."
Me: Okay, I hope that's good enough for you guys! I've been distracted, my eye is all fked up, and I think I may have to take a break for a while. ^w^ If I don't update next week, you'll know why... I apologize in advance... Until next time ladies and gents! *waves* Goodbye! ^w^
