Wolf: This chapter is probably the longest so far. There is a bunch of action in this so I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 8: Attack
Light beamed into Yugi's room through the half covered windows. The light shinned on Yugi's face and burred his head in a pillow, or what he thought was his pillow. He noticed that his pillow was moving up and down.
Yugi opened his eyes and looked up to see the sleeping face of Yami. Yugi smiled as he remembered why Yami was with him last night. Yugi looked up at Yami's sleeping face and thought he looked so cute while he was asleep. Yugi moved his fingers across Yami's check. Yami's hand quickly came up and grabbed Yugi's hand. This made Yugi jump in surprise. Yami then opened his eyes.
"Morning." Yami said.
"Morning." Yugi said with a smile.
Yami held Yugi's hand still while he sat up in bed. Yami brought Yugi's hand to his lips and kissed it. Yugi blushed a little.
"Sometimes I don't like to be watched when I sleep." Yami told him.
"Aw, but you look so cute when you sleep." Yugi said.
Yami rolled his eyes, but still smiled.
"At least you think so." Yami said.
Yugi smiled and leaned up to kiss Yami on the lips. Yugi then got up off the bed and got clothes for today. He went into the bathroom to get a shower.
Yami stretched and got up out of bed and walked into the living room. He turned on the tv and sat down. After a while, Yami heard the water turn off then the door open.
Yugi got dressed and went out into the kitchen to grab some breakfast. He only had a bowl of cereal.
Yugi ate at the table and when he was done, he put the bowl in the sink and sat down next to Yami on the couch. Yami put his arm around Yugi's shoulders and brought him close to his side. They both watched the show Yami had put on for a little bit.
"Hey, Yami, we should head out today for a little bit." Yugi suggested.
"Like a date?" Yami wondered.
"Something like that." Yugi answered.
"I kind of like the idea. Lets head out." Yami said.
Yami grabbed the remote and turned the television off. They got up, Yami headed towards the door while Yugi headed to his room. Yugi grabbed his wallet, phone, and keys then headed back to Yami at the door.
"Ready?" Yami asked.
"Yea." Yugi answered.
Yami opened to door and they walked out into the hallway. Yugi locked the door and they headed down the stairs.
"You want to use the car?" Yami wondered.
"Yea. It'll be quicker." Yugi said.
Yami nodded and when they got outside, Yami pressed the button to unlock the car. They got in and they started to drive.
"So, where to first?" Yami asked.
Yugi thought for a moment, "How about a walk around the mall?" Yugi suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Yami said.
They drove to the mall and they walked around for a bit. Going into the stores they wanted to go in. they didn't really buy anything, they just wanted to enjoy themselves.
When they were done at the mall, there was a movie theater behind the mall. So they decided to go see one. They couldn't really decide what to watch.
"What about a Drama?" Yugi suggested.
"Nah, that's more of a woman movie." Yami said.
Yami looked, "How about a horror?" Yami asked.
"As much as I love monsters and stuff, I don't like watching horror movies." Yugi told him.
"Well what about a 'Hotel Transylvania' ?" Yami wondered.
"Yea. I like that. It may be kiddish, but I usually like those movies." Yugi said.
Yami smiled and the two got their tickets. They found their seats and watched the movie.
When the movie was over, the two got back in Yami's car and decided to head to the park. They walked around a little bit and then sat down under the shade of the tree.
Yugi laid his head down on Yami's shoulder.
"It's a nice day today." Yami said.
"It is." Yugi agreed with a sigh.
Yami looked down at him.
"What's wrong. You were having a nice time before. Why do down?" Yami asked.
Yugi sighed again and sat up.
"I just wish you didn't have to leave so soon and stuff." Yugi told him.
Yami wrapped his arm around Yugi's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Yugi. I'll come back afterward." Yami said.
"But what if you don't come back?" Yugi wondered.
Yami heard the sadness in Yugi's voice. Yami cupped Yugi's chain with his other hand and made him look up at him.
"I will come back, I promise. I have my reasons to come back. Plus I'm a good fighter. I wont go down that easily." Yami told him.
Hearing Yami say that made Yugi smile. Yugi hugged Yami. Yami wrapped his arms around him and kissed the top of his head.
"I'll keep you to that promise, Yami." Yugi said.
"Don't worry, you wont have to." Yami said.
After a little while of being at the park, they headed home. When they got to Yugi's apartment they started to watch television on the couch.
Their moment was ruined when there was a knock on the door.
Yami and Yugi looked at each other and Yugi got up off the couch. When there was another knock, Yugi opened the door. Three figures stood in the hallway. They were all wearing black. Two were wearing hoodies with their hoods up and black pants. The other was wearing a long black cloak that covered his body and his hood was up as well.
Yami knew who they where. He sighed.
"Let them in Yugi." Yami said.
Yugi looked back at Yami then back to the three. He moved out of the way and they walked in. When Yugi closed the door, they put their hoods down. It showed Wolf, Kat, and Tomasaki.
"Yami, we all ready at the mansion. I can here to get you so I can show you the way." Tomasaki said.
"I understand." Yami said, standing up form the couch.
Yugi just had sadness on his face.
"Tomasaki, go wait by my car. I'll be out in a moment." Yami said.
Tomasaki nodded and headed back out.
Yami walked past Wolf and Kat to Yugi and wrapped his arms around him. Yugi wrapped his arms around him as well.
"Don't worry, Yugi. I'll be back as soon as I can." Yami whispered to him.
Yugi nodded. Yami lifted Yugi's head up and kissed him. Yugi kissed back. When the broke apart, Yugi squeezed Yami tight. Yami smiled at him and unwrapped his arms around him. Yami then turned to Wolf and Kat, having a serious face.
"You better take good car of him while I'm gone. Promise me you'll protect him." Yami told them.
"Don't worry Yami, we're the best." Kat said.
"We'll use everything we got to protect him." Wolf said.
"Good. I'm counting on you two." Yami said.
They nodded.
Yami turned to Yugi once more, gave him a smile, and left the apartment.
Yugi looked at the door and sighed. He felt an arm go around his shoulder. He looked to see Wolf smiling at him.
"Yami will be fine. Don't you worry." Wolf told him.
"Yea, he's been around long enough to take care of himself." Kat added.
Yugi nodded.
"How about we play something?" Wolf suggested.
"Yea. Distract us from whats going on." Kat agreed.
Yugi thought about it, then nodded with a smile.
"Video games?" Yugi suggested, walking to the television.
"Hell yea." Wolf and Kat answered simultaneously.
The two sat on the couch, while Yugi hooked up his PlayStation 3. They decided to play a racing game first. It distracted Yugi, but in the back of his mind, was Yami.
Yami walked out of the apartment building and to his car, where Tomasaki stood waiting. His clothes blocked him from the sun that could turn him to dust.
Yami unlocked the car.
"Lets go." Yami said as he opened the driver side door.
Tomasaki got in the passenger and Yami drove off to the mansion. Where they got there, Yami parked the car up front and they walked to the door. When Yami opened the doors, about 80 or so vampires stood in the foyer. They all turned to look at him. Dartz stood on the little balcony on the second floor.
"Ah, Yami. About time you got here." Dartz said.
"You weren't waiting long for me, where you?" Yami asked.
"No no. I sent Tomasaki to get you while we all gathered." Dartz told him.
Yami nodded and let Dartz explain everything that we going on.
"Now, I need to explain why we are gathered here." Dartz paused so he had everyone's attention, "We are going to attack the gargoyles while they are still in their weak form." Dartz started.
"Attack in the sunlight!?" A vampire exclaimed.
"How would we do that!?" Another vampire asked.
Dartz held his hand up and everyone got silent. Tomasaki then disappeared from by the door and appeared next to Dartz.
"I know this sounds difficult, but with me being a spy I must know way t to figure things out. The way I am dressed will protect you from the sun. Mostly wear black helps. Just to cover your head if anything and your arms." Tomasaki explained to them.
Everyone understood what Tomasaki was saying.
"Now, to take this plan out. Yami and Seto will lead the attack, but Tomasaki knows where the hideout is and will lead the way." Dartz said.
Yami and Seto then appeared on the other side of Dartz.
"Meet in the back yard by the forest line." Yami said.
"We head out from there." Seto told them.
The vampires nodded and headed back to their rooms to find something to protect them from the sun. Tomasaki head down the stairs out towards the back of the mansion.
"Will you be joining us, Master Dartz." Seto asked.
"No, me and the rest of the vampires here will protect the mansion. In case the were wolves decide to attach us in anyway." Dartz said.
"We understand, Master Dartz." Yami said.
"Good. Now, head to the back yard so you can be ready." Dartz ordered.
Yami and Seto bowed their heads and headed down the stairs.
When Yami was half way down, " And Yami." Dartz started.
Yami turned to face his leader.
"I wouldn't of sent Wolf and Kat to protect Yugi if I can protect myself fine. He's in good hands, I made it so." Dartz told him.
"If he's not safe when I came back?" Yami wondered.
"Then its my fault for sending you away from him." Dartz answered.
Yami turned and continued to walk down the stairs, "I'll keep you to that sir." Yami said.
Yami headed to the back of the house.
"Hopefully it doesn't come to that." Yami whispered before he left the foyer.
Dartz sighed and shook his head.
Yami opened the double doors to the back and walked into the back yards. Dartz always like to keep the back nice. The bushed were always trimmed, the pond was always clear and the fish feed, and the flowers were always kept nice. Yami followed the stone path to where the forest line started.
Seto and Tomasaki stood there waiting.
"So Tomasaki, where do we head?" Yami asked.
"To the North, towards the hills." Tomasaki point into the woods, "Their hideout is at the base of one of the hills, so it is a little cold there." Tomasaki said.
"Al least cold doesn't effect vampires." Seto said.
"Yea." Yami nodded.
The doors opened to the backyard and all the vampires coming with them came out. They stopped in from of the three.
"First things first, we head to the North. Second thing, when we get to the hideout, kill as many gargoyles as you can before the sunsets. They way we have put a dent in their defense already." Yami told them all.
They all nodded in understandable, determination in their eyes.
"Lets go!" Seto yelled.
Tomasaki took off into the woods, Yami and Seto following, and their mini army behind them. All ran through the woods, sunlight fell through the trees and went past a lot of clearings. All were running fast to keep up. In one clearing the spotted the hills in the distance, but they would be their in no time. They had to be careful when crossing roads so no one saw them. The hills got closer as they ran. Some even jumping in the trees, mostly because of excitement and, for some, was their first fight.
Soon they got to the colder part of the woods, a frost lay on the ground. This did not effect the vampires as they started to see the mist of their breath.
Then there was a clearing ahead. Tomasaki slowed to a jog and everyone followed. He stopped before they head the clearing in front of them.
Tomasaki turned to Yami, point to the clearing.
"Right beyond there and down a hill in a small valley is where you'll find your target." Tomasaki told Yami.
Yami nodded, "Thank you my friend." Yami said.
Tomasaki nodded as well and disappeared from them to head back to the mansion.
Yami then turned to face the other vampires.
"As Tomasaki said, beyond his clearing and in the small valley lays our target. Remember, kill as many as you can before they turn. Hopefully they'll surrender and we will gain their land again like we did so long ago." Yami told them.
The vampires cheered.
"Go! Attack!" Seto ordered.
The vampires cried and ran into the clearing. Yami and Seto lead the way through the light snow on the ground. They ran over the hill and spotted the hideout that was perfect with its surrounding. White as the snow, but the fort still showed its wood through some of the snow that covered it. They slid down the hill until they hit the valley and ran to the gargoyles fort. They could see the statues of the creatures covered in snow from sitting out so long.
When they got close enough, Yami jumped and landed on the top of the fort. Two gargoyles were near him and drew his sword. Using his sword he cut the head off. The status then turned to dust, showing they wore the real thing. The other vampires fallowed Yami's lead, using their weapons they had or the force of their hands and feet to take the heads off the gargoyles that were along the fort walls.
Leaving some to the ones on the walls, Yami jumped into the main floor of the fort. Yami saw a couple around the doors and attacked those. Soon more vampires made their way down to the main floor.
"We need to find a way to the underground level." Seto said, standing on a walked way along the wall.
Yami looked to the middle of the fort and saw a steel grate with four gargoyles surrounding it. The grate was slightly covered with snow, making it hard to see.
"Seto, the middle of the fort." Yami told him.
Seto looked at the four gargoyles and saw the grate. Seto looked to the west.
"Yami, the sun is setting. Act fast." Seto said.
Yami nodded and went to the grate, killing the surrounding gargoyles in the process. Then looked down at the grate. Seto jumped down and landed next to Yami.
"Careful opening that thing. They could jump out at us." Seto said.
Yami looked around at the vampires.
"Stand back, but be ready to attack if need be." Yami ordered.
Everyone nodded.
Yami brushed the snow away and found handles. Seto helped Yami and they pulled.
-Wolf Hideout-
Westward of the city, deep in a cave in the side of a cliff, laid the werewolves. There hideout was into the woods and behind ta waterfall was their cave. Inside the cave were passages beep into the cliff to confuse intrudes. Also there was traps, so if you fell, you died.
Deep in the middle of their whole hideout, Telsuro was in his human room as he paced back and forth in front of his throne. He was waiting for something, one of his spy's to return.
The sound of pounding paws on the stone floor reached Telsuro's ears. He stopped pacing and faced towards the sound, Soon a black werewolf popped out of the found tunnel. He stood up on his hind legs and bowed to Telsuro.
"Master Telsuro, I have found out about what is happening with the vampires." He said.
"Stand up Matmor and tell me what you're found out." Telsuro ordered.
Matmor stood, "The vampires have taken a small army to attack the gargoyles. Yami was leading them sir. With Yami leading that attack, they have left the human with vampires guards." Matmor told him.
"Yami? Not protecting the human? This is wonderful! Now is the time for our plan." Telsuro cheered with a smirk.
"Would you like me to order out a team to go get him sir?" Matmor asked.
"Yes. Get Tikuru, Kara, Musashi, and Zerata. Tell them they have a mission to complete. Get into the humans home and capture him. Bring him back alive." Telsuro ordered.
Matmor bowed and Telsuro started to laugh as Matmor left.
-Back to the Fort-
Yami ans Seto finally pulled the grate away and looked down into the darkness of the hole. Yami and Seto looked at each other.
"I'll go down and take half the group with me. You stay up here with the other half." Yami said.
"Sounds good." Seto said.
Seto looked to the sun and a sliver was left. Seto grabbed Yami's arms.
"What?" Yami growled.
"Wait." Seto then heard something, "You hear that?" Seto asked.
Yami stopped moving and listened. There was movement and something that sounded like cracking.
"I think their coming." Yami said.
"If they are, we have to move back." Seto said.
Yami turned to the other vampires.
"Move back from the hole. They're coming. Be read to fight if need be." Yami ordered.
The vampires moved back.
The cracking got a little launder. Then silence. There was a moment that pasted before there was a loud screech that came up form the hole. The vampires covered there ears, since it was so high pitched. When the screech ended that was movement coming from the hole. Soon flashes of gray past by and about 50 gargoyles landed in the snow throughout the vampires.
Then, climbing out of the hole, was Girsor. He was a bit bigger then the other gargoyles by about two feet or so. He screeched and the gargoyles attacked.
Yami raised his sword and attacked as well. The other vampires started to attack as well. Yami knew he had to get to Girsor so he ran, killing gargoyles along the way. Soon he got to Girsor.
"Girsor!" Yami yelled, to get his attention.
Girsor turned to Yami.
"Ah, Yami, nice to see you. I'm surprised you're here and not with that human." Girsor laughed.
Yami growled, "I have my duties to the vampire clan, not just watching over a human."
Girsor huffed.
Yami smiled and lifted his sword to his side.
"Now Girsor, you have two options: I kill you or you give this territory to the vampires and you leave." Yami suggested to him.
"I will not give up with out a fight sir." Girsor hissed.
"Then so be it." Yami growled.
Girsor swooped his clawed hand down at Yami, but he managed to move out of the way and swing his sword. It managed to cut straight down Girsor's arm, making him screech in pain. Yami jumped and managed to kick Girsor in the chest and made him fall. Yami landed above him, his feet on each side of Girsor's chest and Yami's sword at his neck.
"I would have killed you, but I'm giving you the choose to live. As long as you surrender and you leave this territory, forever." Yami said.
Girsor looked around and sat that half his gargoyles have already been killed while the vampires didn't have many fatalists. They didn't stand a chance right now. Girsor sighed.
"I surrender." Girsor said.
Yami moved his sword away from Girsor's neck. Yami moved away as Girsor stood up. Girsor screeched, but it was different then the others. Then he took off flying, the gargoyles followed. The ones still underground came out and flew away with him.
The vampires watched as the gargoyles disappeared over the hills. Then there was a silence. Yami then jumped on to a walkway against the wall, above anyone else.
"We did it! We've captured the gargoyles territory!" Yami announced.
Everyone cheered.
Seto then jumped up next to Yami.
"30 of you stay here with me. The rest go with Yami to tell the news to Master Dartz." Seto ordered.
People nodded.
Seto turned to Yami.
"Go home, go check on Yugi to see he if he's safe." Seto told him.
"Thank you Seto." Yami thanked.
Seto nodded.
"Everyone not staying, follow me." Yami said.
Yami jumped over the wall an they all followed.
"I'm coming home Yugi, just as I promised. Please be safe." Yami thought as he ran into the woods.
Outside Yugi's apartment building, for were wolves stood there.
"You sure this is the place, Musashi?" The gray one asked the red one.
"My nose never fails me, Kara." Musashi told the gray one.
"Then what are we waiting for?" A white one wondered.
"Lets head in." A black one said.
Musashi nodded.
"Attack." Musashi ordered.
They ran into the building. The elevator was pried open as Kara and Tikuru climbed up the broken shaft. Musashi and Zerata burst threw the door to the stairs, knocking the door of its hinges, and quickly climbed the four flights.
Wolf: Well there you have it, a little bit of a cliffhanger I guess.
Akami: People hate cliffhangers as much as you do.
Wolf: I know, but its just for excitement.
Akami: Whatever.
Wolf: Oh Akami. Anyway, hoped you enjoyed. R & R, till next time.
