I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V!
Wow I surprised myself here but I got this finished by Saturday! Yay me! But if the ending text is worse then the beginning, I had to rush a bit at the end since my friends decided that they wanted to facetime me out of nowhere while I was working on this -_- don't worry, I'll fix that later. Also if Yuri seems a bit OOC at the end too, again had to rush to get this finish on time.
But with that out of the way, onto Parallel Purple!
At times like these, Sakaki Yuri questioned how his life became a living hell. He, like his brothers, started out as perfectly normal teenagers all those many years ago. That was until he met Akaba Leo, the High Kyuketsuki of the lands. It happened all so fast that Yuri could barely remember it all. He ended up becoming his soldier, his scout, his servant. He was Leo's pawn that led him to Yuto and Yugo. A simple unwilling action that ended up taking their human lives away like his own. Yuya, however, was different. Yuri led him to Leo just like he did with his other two siblings and he was very well on his way to becoming one like them but he was saved just in time by the Mystics before he was full changed and they ended up killing Akaba, freeing the other three from his curse.
Yuri almost laughed thinking back at it. From a mindless servant to a so called Protector of the Supernatural. My how he had fallen…and not like the angel kind sadly...
And now here he was, sitting on a couch in boredom with his arm wrapped around his youngest brother, listening to his idiot of another brother go over what they already knew for their latest case.
Yugo had out did himself this time. The idiot had even made himself a sideshow and had one of those pointy things to point at what he was exactly talking about. Yuya found it amusing which made Yuri even more annoyed. He was still questioning where he got one of those things in the first place and why in all hell did Yuto allow him to do this for a simple by the book case anyway?
A picture of the latest victim aftermath appeared on screen in all of its horrifying glory but none of them were fazed by it. They were used to this kind of thing. It was their job after all, even if half of it bored Yuri to death.
Yugo took his all mighty stick, as Yuri been calling it just to keep himself from not shoving it down Yugo's throat just to keep himself entertain, pointed to the victim's chest or what was left of it anyway and started to go over what they already knew. Who put this banana-haired dumbass in charge of going over data again?
"To be able to tear through a mundane body like this so quickly, this Supernatural has to have a number of large and sharp teeth." Yugo spoke before crossing his arms and shaking his head. "That doesn't narrow our options down at all."
"You think?" Yuri rolled his eyes. He seriously questioned at times like these why he had to be related to Captain Obvious.
Yuya quickly said something before Yugo had a chance to snap at Yuri for his smartass remark, much to Yuri's disappointed since he enjoyed tormenting his younger brother a little too much.
"So what do you think it could be, Yugo?" the youngest in the room asked.
"To be honest, Yuya, I have no idea. My knowledge on this is limited. All I can say is for something like this to attack mundanes right in the open without any fear of the outcome of its choices, it has to have no humanity left in it." Yugo answered him. "Which makes it all the more terrifying."
"Well that's rude since the last time I checked, none of us were even close to being human either, with the exception of Yuya of course." Yuri rolled his eyes once more and by this point, he was pretty sure Yugo was thinking about sticking that stick of his up his ass which made Yuri chuckle. Oh the little uke could dream.
"Well you have anything you want to add to this topic, Yuri, since you feel so talkative today?" Yugo questioned him, almost in a snarl.
"Yeah I do, Fusion." Yuya had to out right get off the couch and hold Yugo back from launching at Yuri for that one. This made Yuri smirk and at the same time annoyed. He didn't like Yuya around his other brothers. After all, he was Yuri's personal jester for his entertainment. "This thing seems to have a craving just for humans. It won't attack other Supernaturals unless threaten otherwise. It might just be doing this out of uncontrollable hunger like the rest of us."
Yuya and Yugo blinked at that statement. "What led you to that belief?" Yugo questioned.
Yuri would never admit to it but he had been doing his own digging for this case only because it would led to the real fun a lot sooner than later. "Have you seen any dead Supernaturals lately?" He simply asked.
"Well...no…"
"My point exactly."
It was at that moment when the door to the room opened and all heads turned to see the final and eldest of the Sakaki siblings, Yuto, enter the room.
"Well look at what the cat dragged in." Yuri mused with a simple smile. Of course, since it was Yuri, the smile was anything but kind.
Yuto just glanced at Yuri but said nothing as he got down to business. "There's been another sighting downtown."
"Already?" Yugo looked surprised, not shocking since anything could surprise the idiot. "But it hasn't even been an hour yet!"
"This thing is moving faster than we thought." Yuto replied as he went to fetch their weapons. "So we have to move just as fast."
"Sweet! I'm just the man for the-"
"Sorry Yugo, but I need you to sit back on this one. We are going to need your Sync ability to keep track of our movement and if something bad should happen to us, it would be the quickest way of informing the other."
"Are you kidding me right now?!" Well Yugo didn't look or anything sound very pleased about that. He hated being used as a walkie talkie, which made Yuri smirked in delight. Still- "fine, whatever. So it's going to be you, Yuri, and Yuya for this?"
"Actually, Yuya," Yuya blinked as he turned to the oldest who walked over to him. "We have no idea what we're up against. This thing has already killed a number of mundanes with it leaving what used to be a body behind. Yuri and I will continue to search the city to find this thing while Yugo keeps watch but in the meantime, we need you to find out what this thing is."
"How?" At that question, Yuto reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to the youngest. "Huh? What's this?"
"An address to a place I found which should have some answers to our questions." Yuto answered. "You think you can manage?"
Now that made Yuri narrow his eyes in irritation. Not having to deal with Yugo for this almost seemed like a dream come true. Now he saw the catch and it was one he wasn't to happy about.
Yuya looked over the paper at the address and noticed that Yuto had also written down some facts that they knew about this thing. He then glanced back at him and nodded. "Yeah, don't worry, Yuto. I got this covered. It'll be a piece of cake."
If Yuya knew what lied ahead of him, he would never had said that and Yuri would had forced Yuto to have made him come with him, even if it killed him.
…
"We're too late."
"Geez, what was your first clue? The blood covered walls or the rotting corpse?"
Yuri smiled innocently when Yuto looked to being trying not to glare at him. With the smell of blood flesh in the air, Yuri knew that Yuto was on edge. He was too but surprisingly, out of the four of them, Yuri was the best at controlling his blood lust. Maybe it was because he could seriously care less about drinking from the source or a dead body for that matter but then again, he was the first turned so maybe that had something to do with it? Anyway, this was what made it the best time to annoy the hell out of his older by a few minutes brother.
"This makes it the fifth body this week." Yuto stood up after examining what was left of the latest victim. "We have to find this thing and fast before anyone else ends up like this."
"Well it's not like this thing is going to allow us to find it."
Birds flew off of the tops of buildings as a loud inhuman screech echo throughout the night. Yuto and Yuri both had to cover their ears to keep them from bleeding just from how loud it was. Once it was gone, Yuri and Yuto looked at each other.
"Or maybe not," Yuri mumbled before Yuto and him took off to find the source of that cry.
…
Ten minutes ago, if you had asked Yuri what he thought was attacking these mundanes, he would have just guessed a shapeshifter who didn't know how to control their changing or a normal shapeshifter who had rabies. He sure as all hell wasn't expecting the skeleton-like creature.
After trailing the beast from it's screech pattern, it was a wonder even with the Veil how the mundanes didn't question what was going on, the two oldest of the Sakaki siblings were finally able to catch up to this thing and just in time too since the creature was just about to sink it's teeth into another human, a young teenage girl from the looks of it.
She didn't expect a thing. In her eyes, she probably just saw it as a simple stray dog. That was until it changed at her with an shriek and she started screaming. Yuri almost wanted to facepalm. If this was her reaction to a rabid dog, he would love to see her reaction to the real thing. Humans really were the most pathetic of creatures. Though Yuya was the only exception to this statement in Yuri's eyes.
Yuto, on the other hand, didn't waste any time. As soon as he saw what was happening, he jumped into action. He rushed over to the girl, scooped her into his arms, and quickly got out of the way just before the creature could take a bit out of her. Instead, it crashed landed into the ground at missing it's target.
And there goes Yuto playing Knight in Dark Armor again. Yuri rolled his eyes. To him, Yuri always thought of their team, if you wanted to call it that, as a Kingdom. He, of course, was the all mighty prince (not a king because he seen way too many in his time fall for stupid reasons). Yuto was a knight that girls dreamed about in fairytales. Yugo was the King's Pawn in his eyes but when Yuri told Yuya about this idea of his, Yuya said that he thought of Yugo more as a paladin than as a pawn. Yuri outright wanted to disagree with him but fighting with Yuya was pointless to him so he just went and agreed with him. Then with Yuya himself, there was no question to it. He was his Jester. Not Yuto's. Not Yugo's. His.
Yuto got the girl a safe distance away from the creature. After checking to make sure she wasn't hurt, much to her displeasure, he turned to Yuri and nodded.
Finally, show time. Yuri smiled that cold smile of his as he turned to face the monster. Once he noticed he got it full attention from its pale white lifeless eyes meeting his violet ones, he reached into his pocket and pulled out what appeared to be a tiny toy scythe. However, it didn't stay like that for long. Once it was fully out of his pocket, the scythe started to grow until it was about the size of one that you would see the Grim Reaper carry.
Yuri pointed his scythe at the supernatural, the moonlight shining off the sharp blade.
"Let's dance, Skeley."
Skeley, as Yuri decided to call the creature, howled at him.
A split second of mad glee for the start of his Hunting Games appeared on Yuri's face as he charged at lightning speed at the beast. He swung his scythe at Skeley and the sharp blade connected with the flesh of the creature but to Yuri's surprise, instead of cutting flesh and spilling blood, his scythe's blade edge ended up being snapped off like a toothpick and hitting the ground.
Armor like skin? Yuri thought before cursing as the beast took a shot at him once his scythe broke, trying to slash him with its claws. With reflex speed, Yuri blocked the attack with the back of his weapon before jumping back to keep his distance from this thing. Skin as strong as armor, skeleton like appearance, and a taste for human flesh… Yuri knew right away after that what he was facing off against but he was now wondering what in the world was a Wendigo doing here. They were mostly turned in mountain areas, not the Cities where the Sakaki siblings lived.
"Well this is going to more fun than I thought, huh Yuto?" Yuri didn't expect a response but when he didn't feel a presence behind him, he looked over his shoulder and raised an eyebrow in questioned when he didn't see Yuto anywhere.
Must have taken that girl to a safe place away from Skeley. Yuri rolled his eyes. Yuto always cared more about the safety of the humans than about killing the creature that was hunting them. Not that Yuri was complaining. Now he could go full out without having to worry about his brother breathing down his neck.
Yuri dropped his broken scythe to the ground with a smirk as his eyes slited. "To kill a Wendigo, you first have to burn off it's skin." He said to himself as his smirk widen. "Or kill it from the inside out."
Using his sharp fingernails, Yuri made a small cut on his wrist and let the blood bleed out. The smell must have gotten Skeley's attention because the Wendigo let out another loud cry as it charged at him.
Thats right. Come to death. Yuri thought as he didn't move a muscle and allowed the Wendigo this time to sink its teeth into his flesh. However, as soon as Skeley swallowed some of Yuri's blood, the Wendigo's eyes widen as it started choking, if that was even possible for the said creature.
Yuri smirk only got more twisted at that. He knew very well what was happening. When he wanted too, he could make his blood venomous to the taste and can slowly kill any creature from the inside out. Yuto, Yugo, and Yuya didn't like him doing this however. First because it was to dangerous and could end up killing Yuri himself if he allowed his blood to be poisoned for so long. The second reason because they thought that it was a cruel way to stop something in it's tracks. They, afterall, wanted to stop supernaturals, not kill them if they had a choice. Yuri, on the other hand, really didn't care either way but he so enjoyed the death that he could cause. For example, watching as Skeley's skin looked to be decaying off its body was way too amusing to Yuri. Though he started to get annoyed when Skeley suddenly took off running away from him.
"Oh? Leaving so soon? But things were starting to get interesting." Yuri mused as he followed after it.
Yuri already knew that the Wendigo was history. Anything that swallowed his blood when it was poisoned always was. It was killing the creature slowly from the inside out. Still, Yuri followed it to who knows where it was going to die at.
Although, he wasn't expecting Skeley to jump through a skylight.
Yuri blinked at this before covering his ears as the Wendigo let out another one of those loud shrieks before taking off to somewhere inside of the building. Yuri didn't know whether to question how it was still able to move or where in the world it was going to as he continued to follow behind.
Once he entered the building, Yuri could tell right away that he was in a library of some kind. He raised an eyebrow at this, actually still surprised that there were still libraries in this day and age before he noticed Skeley was heading somewhere in a hurry.
Now what is that thing up too? Yuri wondered.
Trailing after Skeley, he didn't expect to be led to some kind of storage room.
Or to see a person within it.
A women, most likely the librarian at this hour, was too busy putting books on the shelves to notice Skeley coming up from behind her. Only when she turned around at hearing footsteps did she finally see the creature.
"What in the-"
And that was as far as she got as Yuri, who stood in the doorway to the room doing nothing to help, watched as Skeley tackle the woman to the ground and ripped her to shreds.
It was actually quite impressive to the say the least. That it could very well still even move, let alone feast. Just the fact that Yuri was standing there while it ate told him that it didn't care about him anymore but why did it attack here of all places instead of some random person on the street? How did it even know someone was here to begin with had Yuri wondering.
Yuri glanced over his shoulder at that when he started hearing more footsteps heading this way. He narrowed his eyes at that as he leaped onto one of the ceiling support beams, ready to kill whoever was coming this way if he had to because they saw to much, meaning a dead body that was being eaten by a Wendigo, or whatever they saw.
However, what took Yuri by surprise was that the person who entered the room was none other than Yuya.
What?! What's Yuya doing here?! Yuri wondered before gritting his teeth. Was this where Yuto decided to send him? Did that knight knew that the Wendigo was going to show up here or something?! Speaking of which, where the heck did Yuto even go anyway with that girl?!
Yuri was so deep in thought at that that he didn't notice the smell of blood from the librarian's corpse was putting Yuya on edge until he saw his eyes go slited. As soon as he did notice it, Yuri smirked, licking his lips. Oh how he enjoyed seeing Yuya looking like a hungry beast like the rest of them. It was such a turn on at times~
But his smirk quickly faded as soon as Skeley noticed Yuya was there and tackled him to the ground with its teeth then buried deep within Yuya's arm.
Oh Yuri was pissed at that. Yuya was screaming in pain from this, struggling to get free as the Wendigo ripped his arm apart. It was hurting Yuya. HIS Yuya. Only he was allowed to hurt him and listen to his screams. And Yuri sure as hell would have let Skeley know that for a fact if it wasn't for one thing.
Yuya's blood.
At the smell of it, Yuri's body shut down. It was a drug to him that made him unaware of his surroundings, even to the screams of the person who the blood belonged too.
However, as the screams continued to get louder, it wasn't until he somehow heard a slashing sound that made Yuri come back to his senses only to see Yuya being used as Skeley's scratching post. At seeing that, Yuri outright was ready to charge at this thing and rip it to pieces but Yuya, however, beat him to it. Because of the poison that Yuri attacked it with, Yuya easily was able to rip Skeley in half, literally, killing it on the spot before throwing the body parts in different directions.
Damn, Yuri thought, impressed by his younger brother's strength for only being a halfling.
Just as he was about to jump down from his hiding place, he paused in his step at then noticing that Yuya was crawling his way over to the corpse of the librarian. Yuri didn't have to see his face to know that Yuya was badly injured and knew that he needed blood and fast and from the looks of things, Yuya didn't seem to care anymore who's blood it was, even if it would cost him his humanity.
Unlike Yuto and Yugo, who wanted to respect Yuya's wishes and remain half and half between worlds, Yuri wanted him to just throw his humanity into hell and let it burn like the rest of them. And here was his chance to do so. If he did nothing, Yuya would become a full creature of the night like the rest of them but if he did that, when Yuya came back to his senses and found out that he willing did nothing to stop him when he was bloodthirsty, Yuya would never forgive him which meant no more drinking his blood, him drinking Yuri's own blood, and most importantly, no more s-
Yuri gritted his teeth in annoyance as he hopped down from his hiding place just as Yuya pounced at the librarian's corpse. He grabbed his brother by the shoulders and pull him away from her just before he could stick his newly exposed fangs into the body.
Yuya screamed and struggled to get free but Yuri had a good hold on him. He might be strong but at the moment, he was kinda thankful that Yuya was only half turned or this could have gotten ugly real fast.
"Yuya, calm down! It's me!" Yuri was able to yell at him over his younger brother's screaming.
At hearing the voice that was so similar to his own, Yuya paused in his struggle to glance up at the person who was holding him with bloodshot eyes.
"Yuri-nii," oh god,Yuya added the nii. He never did that unless he was really in pain. "It hurts…"
If Yuya didn't already murder the Wendigo, it would have been dead in a second after Yuri heard that. Instead, Yuri raised his wrist and held it up to Yuya's mouth. "Shut up and just drink, my jester." He simply said.
Yuya didn't even have the energy to argue with him. His fangs lowered out of his gums once more and dug into Yuri's skin. Yuri didn't even feel it. He was used to it. After all, he and his brother's blood was what kept Yuya alive.
As Yuya drink his blood, Yuri ran his fingers through Yuya's hair, trying to calm him down a bit. While he was showing kindness on the outside, on the inside, Yuri was furious. With the Wendigo now dead, he now had to find something else to take his anger out on for that thing hurting his jester.
Oh Yugo, you are not going to have a good time as soon as we return home. Yuri thought with a evil grin on his face.
