Chapter 11
After we both had got back in the car and Akio giving me the word to go; we were back on the road. I made Yami explain to his sister what I told him of what she had not heard yet. After he did that everything was quite. It was probably the first time I had peace of them fighting ever since we left. It was nice, no talking, no anything except breathing. I looked in the review mirror to see if Akio was there or not. He was about five car links back. I looked back to the road to see that we were entering Kaiba's Territory.
"You two can't use your cells phones." Yumi looked at me as if she was going to die. "We are in Kaiba's Territory. We don't have permission to come through here so it's better if you don't use them Yumi since they can track phones." She nodded understanding the situation.
I started to look around to see if any Kaiba's workers or anything like that was around. Weird enough there was nobody which was weird. Nobody was at the beginning of the Territory either. I had a huge urge to talk to Akio since he probably noticed this too. Which of course I wasn't going to do or we might be caught that way. Taking me away from my worries I felt Yami's hand on my arm.
"Are you sure you are alright?" He didn't move his hand away from my arm either. I looked away from his hand to look at his face. I took a quick glance at the road and stopped at a red light.
"Yes Yami I'm fine. I promise." His hand slipped down my arm longer then necessary. Well to me it was but lucky us that Yumi caught this longer then necessary thing. So it just wasn't just me.
"You know Yami all you had to do was take your hand off her arm not slide it down her arm….Do you like her?" I saw him trying to hide a smirk off his lips. He looked directly in his sisters eyes.
"Only as a best friend." He said glancing at me after he said that. I looked over at him trying to figure out if he really liked me or not since his voice didn't give anything away. It was bugging me now but I wasn't going to push my luck since he just said best friend.
"You two do know I am sitting, well driving, here. I don't like being talked about like that." I said but playfully. Yumi stuck her tongue out at me as Yami tried to hide a laugh. Since I admit in my thoughts that I liked him. I guess I could see Yami more in a new light, I notice more expressions and the way he sit and- I'll just stop talking or I would be going into a daydream like state and that might not be good. I noticed more in his expression now as I looked at him one more time that he wished I probably said something else….If I ever do admit that I like him to him it would be only him and I alone.
"Anzu I bet you would want him to like you. I bet he does." She said dangerously close to his face. I laughed and they both looked at me weird.
"Sorry for laughing but I think that's funny. I'm like way older then he is anyways why would he want to go out with an older women like me? Besides even if I liked him or he liked me then it would be against the rules and I could be put to death if I broke that rule because that rule is very important. Unlike your father's grand something or other parents who had gotten past that rule but it is very dangerous. Even though the Human may just have a memory erase but it is just worse for the Vampire if caught." Yumi put her hands on her hips.
"How old are you? You can't be that old….well in Vampire years? So what, if you are in love with him wouldn't you break the rules anyways?" I sighed she did have me there.
"I am sixty eight years old. Old enough to be your grandparents and yes I would break those rules." I sighed once again but this time in defeat. Yumi clapped her hands like a child would. I swear one hundred percent that she was weird. Probably the weirdest person I have ever met but I bet there was weirder people out there. All I had to say was that Yumi was probably book smart more then she was common sense smart. Especially the way Yami was blushing as I said that I would break the rules if I liked him and with her talking like he wasn't there yeah more book smart.
Yami didn't comment on anything either did Yumi. So we drove for an hour with out any talking. Which was nicer then before. Every once in a while I would look over to see Yumi and Yami dozing off. Yumi would be the first one asleep in about ten minutes if I looked at her eyes right. They just looked so tried. Probably because we were driving on the highway and there were no stop and go and no curves just straight. Just driving straight for hours can make a Human tried. Unlike me I wouldn't be getting tired of driving straight since I was a Vampire. I looked over at Yami, he looked like he was trying to fight sleep and stay awake. I wondered why he was trying to fight it if he was tried. I looked back on the road to look around to see if there were any Kaiba's people. There were none; all I saw was Akio's car.
I looked at the clock saying five minutes passed and looked over to see Yumi asleep and Yami moving around in his set were he was sitting up again. He looked over at me trying to decide something. "So, um where are we going exactly?" He asked me if he was nervous. I wonder why that would be.
"Well I was going to take you guys to my place with my Vampire family but since it was searched through it wouldn't be safe to go there now so we are heading straight for the airport near there." Yami nodded but thought for a minute or two.
"How come we couldn't just use the airport near our house? We have our pass ports and it would have been much quicker." I shook my head. Since he didn't know how the whole reunion thing went that would have been a good Idea to do but it wouldn't be for us.
"Well Yami since you don't know I will tell you why we didn't take the airport near you." I said glancing over at him again then going back toward the road. "If there is a reunion for Vampires going on we have special planes for each family or Vampire people that work for Territory leaders. If you take a plane that goes to the place were you are meeting at that has Humans on it that is really bad appearance I guess you can say. I say it's a stupid law but it has to be an emergency to take a plane with Humans. Also I don't have my pass port and Ebba has it." I said as I turned my turn signal on passing a car that was to slow. I hoped he understood a little of what I was talking about.
"So all the Vampires will be there and how? What about there Territories when they leave them?" I shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal which it wasn't really.
"Yeah they will all be there and you will see how we all fit. Trust me we will. This will be the only time the Territories can not be fought over. So even if you are not a Vampire you can not fight for Territories either." I said hoping once again this was making sense to him.
"How long is the reunion?" He sounded like that he was trying to hold back another question.
"I have no idea. Sometimes they last three days to a week. It all depends on when we are dismissed." I said shrugging. I had no idea why the Big Twelve were like the way they were. Sometimes I just wished someone else would step in and change up all the rules. Yami didn't ask me anymore questions after that. I would take a glance to see him thinking and checking on his sister to see if she was a sleep. He then would look out the window and watch cars and buildings go by. I looked around one more time to see if any people that worked for Kaiba were around. They were not. All I saw was Akio once again. I had this weird feeling that something bad was going to happen since I hadn't seen one of his security people yet.
I felt a tap on my shoulder to see Yami pulling back his hand away from my body. "What is it?" I asked him. He looked nervous and didn't say anything for a couple of minutes. He finally sighed and took a deep breath then looked at me.
"Anzu I have a question. You may or may not want to hear it but please tell me the truth." I nodded to him. I passed another slow car. It was quite again and I beginning to get a little irritated. I didn't like sitting here and waiting to see what he wanted from me when he was just going to be quite. I sighed inwardly. He had been acting a bit strange from out last conversation with his sister saying that he liked me. Was this is what it was about?
"I hope you don't think I'm stupid…….but do you…well you know…..l-l-l-like me?" So it did have to do with it. Then again it made me happy to think he liked me with asking that question….Though the catch was did he really like me or was he just asking this to stay away from me now on? I knew guys that did that back when I was Human. Though they did that to my friends it hurt them like heck sometimes but I used to tell them: 'if they don't like you then they aren't worth it'. I let it stay silent in the car. I listened to his heart beat get faster and faster. It sounded like he was nervous. I sighed. Should I lie or not? I knew I would be breaking his heart if I did and with his father leaving him and him getting into all this mess and him comforting me maybe I should just tell him the truth….even though it probably could get us both killed sometimes I guess love just works that way. Why was it every time I started to like or fall in love with someone something turns out wrong? I know I only ever liked and fell in love with one guy but it feels like it this will come out a disaster like the last one. Not him hurting me but someone else hurting me through him. Like him dying and letting me feel the pain. If I don't tell him then how would he know that I liked him if he did die? It felt like my own dead heart beat against my chest loudly even though it was my imagination….was I really going to tell him I liked him? After a few more minutes I sighed.
"I made my mind up." I told him he looked at me concerned because my voice was emotionless. "I know I shouldn't be saying this but I do like you. I know we only met like a couple of days a go but with you with like more then twenty four hours I felt like I've known you forever. What about you?" I asked him. I didn't even look over at him. I didn't know if he wanted that answer or not. I waited for him to answer. As I was waiting I slowed down when I saw a cop car. The first one I saw in like days. Thank goodness he didn't catch me speeding especially earlier. I was going like over fifty miles and hour over the speed limit. Just getting back to the airport was much more important to me then going to speed limit but I did have to go the speed limit if I didn't want to stop just in case Kaiba's security came.
"Yeah I do like you." Yami said nervously again. I hear his heart beat faster again. "I'm sorry for bring this up." Was all he said. I laughed at him and from the corner of my eye he looked at me weird.
"Yami, you don't have to be sorry. I like you a lot so don't be. Just we got to keep this from everyone else alright? Tell you the truth if you never brought it up then I would have never said anything to you. Besides being with me Yami can be a really huge danger. Not just because of me smelling your blood all the time but the other Vampires." I said to him which brought up another thought to me. "I also don't know what other Vampires will do when they met you so I'll try to protect you and Yumi as much as I can." I saw him smile when I looked over at him.
"So when's our first date?" He asked me. I put my finger up to the side of my face as if I was thinking about it. Of course I knew my answer already but I just wanted to mess with him.
"I don't know Yami. I know you like me but do you deserve a date with me?" I was trying to laugh when I saw the hurt look on his face but I couldn't hold in that laugh. "I'm just joking." He glared at me. I thought that he was going to burn me alive with the way his eyes looked but then they went back to relaxing.
"You better be…So when?" He asked me again. I just shook my head.
"Probably sometimes after we get that Pendant off of you?" I made my answer more into a question to see if he was alright with that. He tried to lean back into his chair more.
"Fine by me. It's a date." He said smiling again. I listened to his heart beat one more time before I blocked it out. It was back to normal now. I felt a huge pressure lift from my shoulders for some reason. Was I holding that in to long to notice it? It felt nice to like someone again.
It felt like forever but we were finally close to the safe zone. Only like maybe twenty minutes at the most. It was quite most of the ride which was Amazing, well Yumi was asleep and Yami just looked out the window as we drove. With me speeding we were getting there earlier then what we did on the way to His mom's house. Also it went faster because there were no wrecks either. The more we got closer to the safe zone the less cars there were. Usually there were more cars around this time a day around this area. I had this other huge urge to call Akio once again but I didn't. I looked in the review mirror to see him stop at the intersecting not going anywhere. Shit. That's when I realized we drove, I would say ran but we are not running, into a trap. That meant there were either Wizards or Witches around to do this. Also that meant that Kaiba was here. This was just lovely. Akio didn't call me and I wasn't about to call him. Yami must have seen the worried look on my face and started to look around. He saw the silence around the car as well. He looked behind us and then looked around the windows one more time.
"What's going on Anzu?" I kept my eyes on the road ahead of me not even going to look at him so I could watch out for Kaiba.
"We ran right into a Wizard or Witch trap. I'm not for sure what the spell is called but I should have realized it earlier were there weren't many cars I wasn't paying attention till now. It only lets the people they want come in. The people they want out stays out. Also that means Kaiba is here and I'm not in the mood to talk to my Blood brother either. Then with you and The Pendant around you neck he could want you too, shit." I started to speed up maybe just maybe if I speed up fast enough then I can hit them right? Then again I would hurt these two in the car so I slowed down.
"I thought Vampires weren't affected to Wizards magic?" I shook my head.
"That's against attacks this is not an attack so it's different. I might have felt it if I was out of the car though, but since we were in the car it was easier not to feel it and played right into their trap. Oh well. We are just going to try to fight them off. Well I want you to get to our territory as fast as you can once I fight a path off for you alright?" Yami seemed to be surprised at what I said since his heart was pounding a bit.
"Fuck no Anzu. I'm not leaving you." I shook my head and grabbed his wrist to make a threat to him.
"Listen here Yami. I don't care what you think. You need to get out of here with The Pendant and your sister if things go wrong for me. If Kaiba gets you with The Pendant then there is no telling what he will do. Also they might drink your blood so do not let them get you. Understand?" he nodded but I knew he didn't want to. "Sorry Yami." I said letting go of his wrist.
"It's alright Anzu. I will try to get us out of here if something does go wrong. I promise." I didn't say anything back. There was no need to. When I saw cars up ahead I sped up and slammed on the breaks. Yami had to grab on to his sister who woke up in shock. The car skidded to a stop.
"Are we there yet!?" She yelled. I shook my head no. I started to open the door.
"Stay in the car. Yami get in the drivers seat." I said quietly as I could. I shut the door and heard him climb over. I let all of my blocking out other things come to me. I usually blocked a lot of sounds but since Kaiba was here standing there I needed to make sure that I was all ears just in case of an ambush. I walked closer to Kaiba. I didn't recognize any of his people around him. Not even Monica was here. That was a bit strange. If they knew I was here shouldn't she be here too? I didn't worry about that thought at this time. I was to busy thinking a way out.
"Hello Anzu." Kaiba said calmly walking up to me very slow and normal.
"Hi Jackass," That's all I really wanted to say at that moment. I could tell that made him mad but kept his posture of being nice which really was going to tick me off.
"Anzu, I'm hurt. I thought I would talk to you nicely." He said gritting his teeth. I shrug my shoulders not really caring.
"We all know Kaiba that you hate me so stop being nice. It'll only waste your energy and time." I said smirking. It was funny when you could get under his skin. He really hated that. He always liked being in control of things. Kaiba folded his arms and leaned on one leg more then the other.
"Fine then Bitch, we'll do it your way. Where's the damn Pendant because I know you have it." I pretended to think for a few moments. I looked to the ground then back at Kaiba looking him in to the eyes to say I'm telling the truth. I was pretty good at lying of I looked at my enemy into the eye. I had no reason why I was like that but I was.
"I have no Idea." He tried to grab my wrist but I jumped back faster then he could grab.
"I know you know so stop lying to me!" He yelled.
"Did you raid my family's apartment just to look for The Pendant?" Now it was his turn to pretend to think. I knew his true answer already I just wanted to see if he would tell the truth.
"Yes, Yes I did. Now tell me where it is." I shook my head as I dodged him again but this time from an elbow punch. I was surprised too that he admitted it….then again I think he might have saw me making him say no so he said yes which is true that I tried to do that to him.
"I'm Surprised," The wind started to pick up which was another weird thing. It might have been a Wizard or a Witch doing this….or it could have been the weathers fault but I didn't want to think about it at this moment. "that Monica is not here. Where is she Kaiba? Even though she's your mother she seems to tag a long right by your side almost every time." It was meant to be mean and I hoped he had got it. Just with the way he looked right now I think he did. His hands were balled up into fist. His face had a scowl on it.
"Very funny Anzu, besides it's none of your business of where she is at anyways." Everything was quite again but the wind slowed down a little bit then it picked up harder. It was starting to bother me. It felt like the earth was going to explode at that very moment. "So where is the Pendant?" Kaiba grabbed my wrist after I told him I wasn't going to tell him about where to find The Pendant. "You better tell me now Anzu. Because if you don't I'll kill the people you have in that car and I'll kill your whole family you better believe me on this." He lifted my wrist to the point where I wasn't touching the ground anymore. Stupid Vampire that's over six foot tall. I was about to kick him in the head when I heard the car door open. Dang it! Yami I thought I told you to stay in the car! I thought wanting to yell it out loud but I didn't. I knew it was Yami because of his foot steps, the way they fall that is.
"Leave her alone." He said walking up, I looked behind me to see The Pendant showing the fangs and it looked like it was about to do something. Some how The Pendant knew that someone around here wanted it or it knew that Yami wanted to protect someone. I wonder what it truly means when it shows teeth and when it's just glowing red. Kaiba laughed but didn't put me down.
"I see you still have The Pendant, Human. I suggest you hand it over to my werewolf over there." I saw that girl werewolf, Mia, again. I could tell she didn't like being called his werewolf at all. She walked over angrily; close enough but like five feet way. She held out her hand inviting Yami to go over there and hand it to her. Yami didn't budge one bit.
"I'm not going to give it to you Kaiba. I'll hurt your ass first." Yami warningly said. Kaiba and the people that followed him laughed at him. Just there was one that did stand out. She didn't say anything as she gracefully walked over with her Vampire skills and whispered something into Kaiba's ear. Good thing I had Vampire hearing to hear what she had said. She told him that Yami had The Pendant still and could harm them. Kaiba completely ignored her making her go back to her line. The wind picked up even more, Kaiba looked to the right nervous about something so I used that moment to kick him in the head as fast as I could. I lay on the ground with Kaiba holding my leg now. Damn it. I thought, I was about to get my leg out of his grip when I felt him let go of me quickly. I looked toward my left to see wind coming out of The Pendant, harder when then the wind that was blowing now. He quickly ran over to me if I was alright.
"Let's go!" We said together I had to laugh. We ran right in side the car doors that Yumi had already opened for us. I slammed on the breaks once I got into my seat quickly. The other Vampires were at shock to see Kaiba laying on the ground from the wind attack from Yami. I never knew Kaiba's weakness till now. I had to thank him later for showing me that. I looked over to see Yami holding The Pendant in his hands. He seemed disturbed.
"Thanks Yami for back there." His frown turned into a smile.
"Your welcome Anzu, I don't know why I had the sudden urge to go out there and help you. It was right after he picked you off the ground something told me to go out there." I put a hand on his arm.
"It's alright Yami don't worry about it. Why do you seem so disturbed?" His gaze went back to The Pendant in his hands.
"Every time I use this it feels so weird. I only used it twice. Once with Jason and now Kaiba. When I got into fights or anything else before it never happened, and of course it was with Humans too though." Yami said trying to figure this out.
"Maybe we will find out how The Pendant is used from the Big Twelve?" It came out more of a question then a statement. He didn't say anything. They didn't want to stop at the gas station in the safe zone so we just kept driving to the airport. Akio had caught back with us in the safe zone but called and told me that he was going to go back once we reached into Ngozi's Territory. The whole car ride to the airport was quite. Once I parked it and got Yami's and Yumi's stuff out we went inside and saw my Vampire family. Ngozi had to rush us since he wanted to leave so Yumi wasn't introduced yet and we really didn't get to say hi to each other.
We got on the privet Jet that the Big Twelve let us use and I was surprised that the Vampire let us on with Yami and Yumi I guess he had already known or something. I sat next to the window and sighed. Let the fun begin. I thought as Jason sat across from me.

Dancer: I hope that was an okay chapter. I didn't except it to end the way it did…and you will figure out about this wind later trust me you will. Unless you can guess on what it is I'll give you a cookie. Now I have to figure out what to write about on the plane since I wasn't expecting to write that…oh well. Now I have to. Hopefully it'll turn out okay. Anyways I am also been taking a break from writing too since November and Hopefully I'll have my inspiration back by the 1st of January. (if you were wondering I had this chapter wrote ahead of time.) And my next update should be I'm Sorry. Well Please Review. It would make my day and MERRY CHRISTMAS! ;)
