Chapter 7- Running again
Yami opened his eyes to find he was in the same valley as before. But something was wrong. Everything was twice as dark. Shivers ran up and down Yami's spine but he took and breath and quickly got to his feet.
The other Yugi had warned him that this world was more dark than his but he hadn't been prepared for this. He had also warned him to stay clear of the downtown part of the city. He had said that it was the hang out for looters and criminals.
Yami look back at the wall that acted as some kind of portal. The other Yugi had told him that he only had one chance to go there, if he returned, Yami would never be able to go here again. Yami considered turning back but refused when his thoughts landed on Yugi. He had to help him no matter what the stakes.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Yugi stirred slightly as consciousness returned to him. He couldn't remember much that happened to him. He did remember fire, but what did that have to do with where he was now. Panic. Yugi opened his eyes, afraid of what he might see. He was laying on the ground in some sort of condemned building.
"You're awake." a deep voice rang through the air...and Yugi's heart.
Yugi gasped slightly, he knew that voice, he loved that voice. Quickly, Yugi turned to where he heard it. "Yami!" Yugi exclaimed with relief. There stood him Yami, his beautiful crimson eyes, strong figure, and wonderful smile. Yugi rushed to his feet and tackled his lover. "I'm sorry Yami. I never cheated on you, I wouldn't! Please don't believe anything he said!" Yugi cried, burying his face into Yami's chest.
Yami was confused and silent for some time. "Um, it's okay Yugi." He sat up and pushed Yugi off of him.
That was when Yugi noticed. "Yami?" Yugi's eyes widened. "What happened to your body?" He questioned starring at Yami's see through skin. "Are you okay? What did you do to Marik?"
Yami puzzled over this for the longest time. "I must have lost it when transferring to this world. As for Marik, lets just say he won't be hurting you again." Yami smirked as Yugi again hugged him. No one will be doing that but me.
Yugi sighed, wiping the tears from his eyes. "I was so scared Yami. I really thought you weren't going to come." He wrapped his arms tighter around Yami afraid that he would disappear if he let go. "How did things get so out of control?"
Yami shrugged. "I don't know, but you're okay now." Yami whispered again pushing Yugi away from him.
Yugi looked up at Yami. Something was different but he couldn't place his finger on it. Yami was acting strangely. "Yami, what's wrong with you? Are you sure you're okay?" Yugi asked concerned.
Yami nodded, "Yeah, I'm cool."
Cool? Yami never said that before. Something was definitely wrong. They had to get out of this alternate world, and fast. It was doing something to Yami...and Yugi. Yugi felt drained. He wasn't too sure whether it was from being exhausted or from something else. But that wasn't important right now, all that mattered was that Yugi was reunited with Yami again and nothing was going to split them up again.
"Yugi?" Yami shook him. "We should go." He stood and started to walk towards the wooden door at the end of the building. "The portal is a few streets over. It shouldn't take us long to get there."
Yugi sighed and rose to his feet. He walked with Yami outside to find no one roaming the streets. It was quiet. They were in a major city yet there were no cars, people, or pets. Yugi shivered as the wind sent chills up and own his spine. There was no snow on the ground, more proof that this wasn't their world.
"You cold?" Yami asked putting a warm arm around him. Yugi smiled. This was more like Yami, always comforting him and always making things better. "I would have thought to bring a jacket with me but I didn't have time."
Yugi frowned. Where had Yami gone before getting him back? Yugi shook off the questioned and moved closer to Yami. "I missed you." he said at the same time making Yami put his arm around his waist.
Yami looked uncomfortable for a second but then smiled. "I know." His crimson eyes falling on the ground with a smirk on his lips. "But things are going to be five times better for us now, you'll see."
Yugi smiled uncomfortably and noticed Yami's smirk. "Hey Yami? Are you sure you're oka—,"
"I'm fine!" he yelled dropping his arm from Yugi's waist. Yugi backed away frightened by his lovers sudden out burst. "Why do you keep asking me that? If something was wrong I would tell you!" he finished and continued walking away.
Yugi walked slowly behind him. "Yami—,"
"Don't 'Yami' me!" he yelled stopping in his tracks and turning around. "You really get on my nerves you know that?"
Anger welled up inside of Yugi. "Hey!" he practically shouted. "I was just worried! Next time I won't ask if—,"
SLAM!
Yami's fist came in contact with Yugi's cheek. Yugi fell to the ground whimpering. He rubbed where Yami had hit him as tears streamed down his face. He saw Yami's feet appear in front of him. Yugi backed away, afraid of what Yami would try this time.
Yami kneeled in front of Yugi placing his arms gently around him. Yugi didn't push him away but welcomed the embrace. "Shh." he coaxed. "I'm sorry little one. I just haven't gotten any sleep lately and my nerves are all bundled up." Yami kissed the top of Yugi's forehead while wiping his tears away. "You know I love you right?"
Yugi nodded and wrapped his arms around Yami's neck. "I didn't mean to get on your nerves." He was surprised how fast he had forgiven Yami for what he had done.
"You didn't. I'm just tired." Yami nudged Yugi's chin up to look him in the eyes. "You're the best thing that has ever happen to me you know that?" He pulled Yugi into a deep kiss making Yugi want to melt in his arms. Yugi opened his lips slightly to let Yami have access.
Yugi gasped suddenly as once again his energy seemed to be drained. He tried to pull away from Yami but he held Yugi tightly in his arms. Once the kiss ended, it left them both panting but with smiles on their faces. Something was different. Yami's kisses felt different or out of place, but Yugi didn't care. "I love you Yami." Yugi whispered.
"I love you too little hikari." Yami smiled nudging his nose with Yugi's. Yugi giggled and Yami helped both of them to their feet. He let go of Yugi and started to walk but stopped when he heard a yell. Yami whirled around to find Yugi on the ground. "Are you okay?"
Yugi gasped for air. "I don't know what happened. I feel so tired." he explained rubbing his head.
"Maybe you'll feel better when we get you home." Yami sneered knowingly. He helped Yugi up again and headed for a some alley. "Not much further." Yami smiled pushing Yugi slightly toward the wall.
"Is that the portal?" Yugi asked leaning on Yami for support.
Yami nodded. When they reached the wall he kissed Yugi on the cheek and nudged him toward it. Yugi smiled and put his hand through the wall. It was cold. "Well, go on." Yami said impatiently. Yugi was glad they were going home. Maybe now Yami would be a little more relaxed.
Yami watched as Yugi walked through the wall. He smiled and followed through.
Yugi fell onto a cold floor. Everything looked the same. Nothing had changed. Yugi looked around as he noticed that everything was still a grey, sad color. Yugi frowned as Yami came through the wall. "Nothing looks different. Are you sure that we went through the right portal?" Yugi asked.
Yami smiled. "We went through the right one alright. Welcome home." he said pulling Yugi into an embrace.
"You're acting weird again Yami." Yugi commented. "What do you mean home? Weren't not there yet. Besides, where is everyone? I thought there would be more people out this time of day." Yugi squirmed in Yami's arms uneasily, something was wrong. They weren't in their world still. What was going on?
Yami chuckled and Yugi pushed him away. "Yami?" Yugi whispered. "What did you do? Where are we?"
"Same place hikari, same place." Yami sneered.
"What's the matter with you!" Yugi shrieked. "This isn't funny Yami! I want to go home. I want to sleep in my nice warm bed with you next to me. I want to eat something hot. I want to be home!" Yugi cried hysterically. Why was Yami being so mean suddenly.
Yami stopped his chuckling and became serious. "You are home." he said confidently. "And you're mine to command forever."
Yugi starred. "Are you crazy!"
Yami shrugged. "Maybe." It was more of a statement than a question.
Yugi shook his head and started to turn and run but Yami was quicker. He quickly grabbed Yugi by his wrist. Yugi immediately stood still. He wanted to move, to run, to be anywhere but where he was then, but he couldn't. His body wouldn't let him.
Yami pulled Yugi closer to him, wrapping his arms around the frightened teen. "You're mine." he repeated, making Yugi shiver as the breath crossed his neck harshly.
Yugi whimpered trying to force his legs to run. He felt weak and some what in a trance. Words finally made their way to his lips. "What...a-are you doing to...me?" he barely got out. He felt like he was going to collapse right there and never wake up.
"I need your energy little hikari. It's so refreshing to me." Yami whispered kissing Yugi's neck. Yugi moaned slightly and feel limp in the arms of his former lover. "You didn't think I was really going to let you go did you?" Yami picked up the younger teen and carried him to the next building.
Yugi wanted to get away, to move or scream but it was like his body wasn't his anymore. It wouldn't do anything he commanded it to...actually nothing at all. Yugi managed to let out another whimper as Yami pulled him tighter against him.
Yugi wasn't too sure how long it had been before he was placed on a soft surface. He opened his eyes to see it was a bed. Yami sat next to him and removed his shoes. Yugi didn't expect what came next. Yami leaned over him and began to kiss his neck again. Yugi wasn't going to lie to himself. He liked it, but this wasn't Yami who was doing this to him. It was someone else, a total stranger to him.
Yami allowed his hand to travel along Yugi's thigh. Yugi felt his eyes open wider and reality hit him. He had to get away. He was in the hands of a crazy spirit who wanted his body...for more than one reason. Yugi moaned under Yami's actions but had his eye on his target, and Yami was too busy to see what it was.
Yugi reached his arm out but gasped slightly as Yami got even braver with him. Yugi felt energy returning to him suddenly. Yami had given it to him for some reason and Yugi didn't want to wait around to see why. He had gotten to his target.
With a swift motion the younger teen grabbed the bottle of wine sitting on the night stand. "I'm sorry Yami." he whispered. Yami looked at him surprised but before he knew what had happened, Yugi had slammed the bottle across the back of Yami's head.
Yami fell against the floor and Yugi sat up. He bolted to the door leaving his Yami and shoes in the room. He ran outside and hid behind the a trash can. He was running again, and this time...for his own lover.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
