thinking "Screaming/yelling"
Chapter 5: Flashback
Bakura looked back towards his friends, who all had expressions of shock of their faces. "Gomenasai," he said, chewing his bottom lip, sure that his friends would hate him for what he was. A hug out of the blue surprised the albino Diclonius.
Ryou looked up at his yami with tender eyes, beautiful chocolate eyes that assured that everything was all right. A cough interrupted their 'moment'. Both albinos turned to the interruption.
"Beta, you done yet? Because we really have to leave," said Alpha, standing up with Yugi in his arms. So familiar... Yugi thought. A tug on Alpha's arm drew him out of his thoughts.
"Alpha-sama, the men are coming this way. Nana is scared..." Nana said, wondering what her parental figure do to stop the men from hurting her and the other people... what other people?
"Alpha-sama, who are they?"she asked, pointing at Yugi and his friends, "Nana hasn't seen them before. Are they friends of Alpha-sama and Beta-sama?"
"Yes, Nana, you could say that," answered Alpha, gripping Yugi slightly tighter, but noticeable only unto Yugi, who blushed lightly. "It's not safe here. We have to leave the building."
"Why should we," inquired Jounouchi. "After all, you guys are the mutants here, not us. Just leave us out of anything you guys are going to do."
Alpha looked down at the boy in his arms. "Would you like to do as your friend says and stay here? Or what do you think is safer?"
Yugi pondered their situation. But then, something, a voice, a conversation, flooded his memory.
Memory /Present-day Yugi's feedback on memories/
"...-chan, I going to miss you when I leave next week." A whimper came from one of the two boys on the porch steps.
"I'll miss you, too, Yugi-chan..." Another child, voice deeper, but still a child's voice. "I got something for you." The child pulled out a small golden locket from the pocket of the cape he always wore. Yugi gasped in awe. /That's me, when I was five... I don't remember the other boy's face./ True Yugi's memories were, as the other boys face was hidden by the hood of his cape.
"It's so pretty, ...-chan," said Yugi, as he started to admire the locket more closely.
"Open it," ... said, waiting expectingly. Yugi opened the locket and gasped when a tune started to play. Yugi leaned on the other child's shoulder, listening to the beautiful tune that played. It was the tune that ... said, if a person knew, Yugi could trust them. /The tune that Alpha hummed to me.../
"It's so beautiful, ...-chan," Yugi complimented, bringing forth a mature chuckle from the other.
"Then there's a good thing why it's pretty," the obviously older boy, five and a half, said. "Why, ...-chan?" The elder caught Yugi's chin between his fingers, causing their eyes to reflect upon each other.
"Because... it makes you look even prettier," ... said as he placed a kiss on the five year old hikari's lips.
End Memory (A/N: Dang Yugi could not wait until marriage, could he? O.o With a five-year-old boyfriend too. O.O)
"I think we should go with Alpha and his friends."
"But Yugi," Anzu tried to say.
"We'll leave with Bakura," Jounouchi said, "but not with any of these monsters." He was suddenly thrown back against the metal wall, like a hand was clutching at his throat... a transparent hand. Bakura, or Beta, had one of his vectors gripping at his neck, eyes full of anger. He was out of Ryou's hug.
"How dare you," Bakura hissed, "These 'monsters' you're talking about have been the only constant since I was reborn in this life. I don't need you to try and confirm what all these idiotic scientists think about us." Bakura's ranting was cut off when Nana came over, arms around him in an backwards embrace. (Hug from behind.) The vector let go of Jounouchi's neck. The blonde fell to the floor, ack against the wall.
"Beta-sama," Nana cooed, like a small child, "Daijoubu. What everyone says, Beta told Nana, it doesn't matter, ne? So if everyone's thinking is that, we shouldn't care right? That's what Alpha has said to Nana, too. When he lost his to-san (1) and ka-san (2), everyone said that he was a monster, too."
Alpha still maintained his composure, but inside, he was crying, crying about how much pain he went through, yet survived because of his strength... and his 'constants', as Bakura put it. He settled Yugi onto his feet and walked over to Bakura. Alpha placed a hand on the albino's shoulder.
"Beta..." One word, the mentioned person's name, held so much emotion and guidance that Yugi could tell that it was something that Alpha did not do normally.
...WHAT THE HELL WAS UP WITH THAT MEMORY?!
(1) Short for Oto-san (father)
(2) Short for Oka-san (mother)
