Blood Covered Hands - Ch. 3

Rose: Hello! I'm back again. Ok, I'll keep this short and get to the story. I do not own Yugioh or Elfen lied.

Yugi's POV

Dream

It's dark. I can't see anything. Where am I?

"Where do you think you are?''

I close my eyes. I know that voice. I haven't heard him in a while. "If I'm hearing you I guess I'm inside my head."

"Correct. I see you have finally escaped that hellhole.

I don't answer.

"What's the matter? Isn't this what you wanted? You have something you need to do, remember? But you can't do it if your locked up, can you? You need to make a place for yourself."

"Yes, your right."

"I can sense there in doubt in you heart. What is it?Your not thinking of that promise, are you?"

"I made two promises."

" And the one promise to two people goes against everything we have worked for!"

"I know but-"

"But nothing!"

Suddenly two male voices are heard. They are laughing and sound like they are very happy. I can't see anything. All of a sudden they start yelling. Then gunshots. More yelling. I can't take it anymore. I cover my ears and fall to the ground. " STOP! That's enough!" Finally I can see, and when I look, the first thing I see is a pool of blood. I start shaking and squeeze my eyes shut. I shake my head. The noise won't stop! "Why are you doing this?!"

"To show you that being with humans is impossible. You should know this by now."

I slowly open my eyes and the last thing I heard from him is, " Shouldn't you?

End Dream

I shoot up with a shout and I'm out of breath. I look around and I'm in a bed, in a white room, with what seems to be an IV in my arm. 'What the hell?'

Before I can think anymore someone comes into the room. I immediately recognize him. 'He's one of the guys who found me. The pale one, who looks like me.'

He looks at me, and smiles. "I see you're awake. How are you feeling?"

I ignore the pain in my head and glare at him. "Fine! Now where the hell am I?"

He seems a little taken aback by that but he quickly recovers. "You're in the hospital. You passed out on the beach."

"Yeah, I remember. You found me, you and someone else."

"That was my older brother, Atem. My name is Yami."

I just nod my head. I notice his eyes wander to my head and I know exactly what he is looking at. I am about to say something, but before I can, the door opens again. This time it is Atem, the other guy who was with Yami.

"Your awake."

I just glared at him. 'No shit.'

The other one, Yami, looks at him and says. "He just woke up. I was just going to check him over."

I look at him. "You're a doctor?"

He looks at me, and smiles, again. "We both are, although I have to admit finding you was surprising."

I look away. I wasn't really happy at the idea of them touching me. Hell! I don't even know why I'm even talking to them! Normally I would have killed them and left, or, if not that, at least knock them out. But for some reason…I was brought from my thoughts when Atem starts talking.

"After we check you over, the police would like to talk to you."

My head shot up. "What!"

They jump, startled. I realize what I did and look away. They are silent for a moment before Yami says, "It's alright. They just want to ask you some questions about what happened to you."

"Nothing happened that you people would care about."

"What! Of course we would care about what happened to you."

I look at Yami and he seems to really mean it. But I have been tricked before and I tell him just that. "You say that now but do you truly mean it. People take one look at me and see my horns. They see what makes me different and they shun me. They treat me with nothing but disgust. How do I know you won't be any different?"

I just stare at them and gauge their reactions waiting for their reply. 'They're probably going to be like everyone else.'

Honestly, I didn't expect the answer that I got. Yami smiles, again! 'Man, this guy smiles a lot!'

He looks me in the eye and says, "Well, I don't care one way or the other. Horns or no horns, your still a living person and deserve to be treated like one. Right Atem?"

He turns to look at him. Atem nods his head and says, "So you're a little different. That shouldn't matter."

I just stare at them before looking down. I feel sadness come over me and I quietly whisper, "Then you two are one of the few people who think that."

Yami looks at me "What?"

"Nothing", I say.

They both just look at me for a moment then Atem starts to talk. "Well, let's make sure that there is nothing else wrong besides that head wound."

With that, they thoroughly look me over. As I mentioned before, I don't like being touched, but I endure it.

"Well that's done. Now wait here while we get the police," Yami says.

"Where else am I going to go?" I ask

Yami chuckles lightly. "That's true. Then rest. We'll be back."

Yami and Atem leave the room and shut the door.

"Shit!"

I hit the bar on the side of the bed. 'This isn't good. I can't have the cops involved! After what I did to escape they will definitely be trying to hunt me down.' "I need to get out of here," I say aloud to myself.

Before I can do anything the door opens and two cops, a male and female, come into the room. 'Damn it! To late.'

Their eyes widen for a moment before they recover. The man smiles and said, "Hello. My name is Officer Sato and this is my partner, Suzuki."

I just nod. The women, Suzuki, smiles, "And what would your name be." They sit down on two nearby chairs. I stay quiet. Sato is the next to speak.

"Do you remember how you got on the beach?" 'I remember how but I can't exactly tell them.' I still keep quiet. I notice that Sato is writing down what I say or not say. 'I think it's better if I don't talk to them. I can just kill them but I think I need to keep a low profile.'

When he's done he looks up again and asks. "Alright. Then can you tell us where your parents are? I'm sure they're worried about you."

I didn't say anything. 'I doubt it.'

I finally answer. "I don't have any."

They look relieved when I start answering, "Do you have anyone looking after you?"

"No."

"How long have you been on your own?"

'I'm getting sick of all these questions!' "Why the hell does it matter? You people wouldn't care anyway!"

All of a sudden I get a sharp pain in my head. I grab my head "Aghhh!"

My head is hurting so bad I don't notice that one of the officers leaves the room and comes back with the two doctors. They rush over to me and Yami has a syringe. He puts the needle into the IV and pushes something in. Almost immediately the pain starts to go away, but I also start to feel very sleepy. My hands slowly fall to my side and I am struggling to stay awake. I feel someone gently help lay me back on the bed. "I'm sleepy," I say.

Yami smiles and says, "It will do that to you. Close your eyes and sleep."

As I'm about to fall asleep, I start to hum a melody I learned a long time ago. Softly I hum the pretty melody. I have always loved this song. It has always brought me comfort. Just as I'm about to fall asleep, I look up at Yami. He has a look of surprise and fear on his face. When I look at Atem; he has the same look. Then I close my eyes. The last thing I hear is, "You can't be."

Then I fall asleep.

Rose: Well, that's it for now. Hope you liked the chapter. Plz R&R!
