Chapter 3: Crisis in the conference
Hey, sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been busy with volleyball practice. I have a game tomorrow so wish me luck!
Yami: You've abandoned us for some child's ball game.
*Whispers*Oh, the irony...
Yami: what was that?
Well everyone else thinks of duel monsters as a child's card game, and you just said...
Yami: Duel monsters in not a child's card game!
Yugi: It is an intellectual highly advanced patience-needed sport!
That requires cards and kids to play.
Yami: Fuuuu
ooh were you going to say fudge?
Yugi: *sighs* Sheik doesn't own yugioh, or white rose.
Normal POV
A small smile grew on my face as I was rushed around the kingdom while my friends continuously asked every. Single. Guard. They Saw. If they had ice cream in the kitchen. I stopped and brushed my bangs back as I began following them again.
Slam!
"Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't watching..." I started as I saw someone bow to me.
"My lady, forgive me. I have made a mistake by not watching my path. Allow me to make it up to you. I heard you and your friends were looking for... Ice cream?" A young man about the same age as me smiled.
"um, yes actually..."
"Then, let me escort you and your friends to the kitchen. I am, as you could say, 'wild in the kitchen'." I nodded shyly as he waved my friends to follow and snatched my hand leading us to the kitchen.
We all sat at a small isle in the middle of the kitchen as the man handed out bowls of ice cream.
"Why don't you get one, Sir" I spoke softly.
"Seth, if you'd please. And, I would rather wait for the real time to eat, I would not want to get caught in front of the beautiful Mistress." He spoke to me kissing the top of my hand. A blush formed across my face, and everyone could see it clearly.
"My Lady, you look stunning when you blush." He smiled to me. "You look like a field of wild white lilies whom have magically changed to a radiant field of crimson red roses." I could barely breath from his kind and enchanting words. My face turned to another shade of red.
*I made Seth way different from Kaiba on purpose. Meaning nice, gentle, sorta a ladies man, and good poet? You'll see why later in the chapter. :p*
After helping, I mean insisting to help, Sir Seth wash the dishes, We talked a little longer.
"You look so much like Seto Kaiba..." I mumbled.
"Haha, Yes, we are similar to Bakura and Ryou, Malik and Marik, and well, you and Prince Yami. Unfortunately, we do not get along like the rest of you." He said almost sounding sad.
"Why is that?" I asked trying to sound formal.
"Heh, my lady, please don't try to act so formal. Being gentle and... normal suits you well. As for your question, I really do not have an answer for. I do not know why we don't get along." He said it as if he did know and it was too sad of a story to tell. I waved it away.
"Are you two related?"
"We are only mere cousins."
"So, like distant cousins or like second cousin?"
"We are very distant."
"Ah, I see now. Is that why you are a knight and not a priest?"
"I do not have an interest in the things he does as a priest. I only wish to protect those in need of assistance. Kaia does not understand that." I saw his hands tighten into fists.
"Oh, Sir Seth, do you have a bow?"
"I only fight with a sword."
"Do you know how to shoot a bow?"
"Like I said, only a sword."
"Can I teach you? It's so much fun!"
"You want to teach me... how to shoot?"
"Uhuh! I need something to do to get my mind off of things, and you're really nice to talk to. I just need space from Yami and Seto right now too." He looked at me with slightly confused wide eyes.
"You call Kaiba... Seto?" He asked rising from his seat to pour more tea.
"I always have. He's looked after me since I was... two." I said counting on my fingers. Seth laughed at me.
"Also, please, milady, call me only Seth. Not Sir Seth. I would really appreciate it if you stayed the way you are. Informal and...cute." He tapped me on the nose lightly and bowed to me. "Unfortunately, I have lost track of time and I will be late if I stay any longer. I have to join a small ceremony with the royal family. I hope you have a well rest of the day!" He bowed again and ran off.
xXx
I wandered through the halls. It had only been thirty minutes since Seth left to go to ceremony. I turned down a hall.
I stopped.
I was so close to him. Not very far from me was a man dressed in a black suit with black hair and thin wired frames. He had sword in his hand with the blade in the heart of a knight. I turned and ran. I had to make it to the ceremonial hall before he did. I turned a few corners before I saw the doors to the hall right in front of me. I pushed onward so close to the door. I was pushed onto the ground.
"Caught you!" the man from before spat at me while holding a dagger to my throat. I was so not in the mood for games today. I checked for any sign of him being a vampire. None. The only thing I noticed was that on the side of his neck was a brand of the Hunter's Organization's symbol. I quickly pushed him off of me. I had to tell Yami. Fast. I barged in hoping for someone to notice the hunter hot on my tail.
Luckily Seth did. He drew his sword immediately and blocked every single blow that the hunter tried to lay on me. Yami stood and rushed to my side. My put his had on the side of my neck. Apparently, when I pushed the hunter away, his dagger sliced the side my neck pretty deep.
"Guards, help Sir Seth, everyone else flee the hall to safer quarters!" Yami threw orders like nothing had happened. He scooped me in his arms and carried me to the infirmary. Seth and Seto were following. I had blacked out from the lose of air and blood.
Yami's POV
"She's lost quite a lot of blood, and he sliced her wind pipe slightly. I don't know how fast she can recover from this. She will definitely live, but she may refuse to eat or drink, speak or even wake because of the pain." Mother smiled. She has been the 'doctor' here since I could remember.
"Thank you, Mother." I bowed to her as she handed me something.
"I'm guessing you won't leave her side until she is fully healed, so here. Give this to her every three hours. I will numb the pain and may allow her time to drink or eat without having to hurt herself." I rolled the bottle around in my hand. She smiled, bowed then left.
"Sir Seth!" I called.
"Yes, My Prince?" He bowed to me.
"Thank you for protecting her against the hunter. I'm also very thankful that she ran in when she did. For all I know, there could have been more coming if my father hadn't seen troops to where the hunter confessed about. I truly thank you for guarding her here."
"I know this isn't my business, but I can imagine how stressful it is fro her." He turned and left.
I turned to Kaiba. "You should've said something to him. At least thank him yourself."
"No, that idiot does not deserve my thanks." He replied looking towards Yugi's sleeping body.
I pinned him to the wall. "Not even for your own half-sister? Not even when he saved her life? I know you'd be lost without Yugi. So don't give me some bull-crap about him not deserving your thanks!"
"I Know I couldn't live to see a day where yugi's smiling face isn't close, but does that mean he gets the thanks? What about thanking Yugi for her bravery or something?"
We heard a moan escape Yugi's lips as Kaiba rushed to her side. I smirked at him.
"Yugi, I want to say sorry about earlier today." He said with... sadness?
"Hnn?" Yugi tried to speak.
"You... don't remember?" Yugi flicked him in the head.
"WTF, Yugi?" Kaiba shouted. Yugi began to laugh. She stopped and held her throat and coughed. Kaiba smiled.
"I... I'm not mad. *cough cough* I was just shocked." Yugi stopped and held her breath.
"Don't hold your breath idiot." Kaiba was back to his old self. I was slightly happy to see that. Yugi waved me over.
"You got the idea why I ran in right? Are you mad about that?" Yugi asked pulling her knees to her chest.
"Kaiba, get out! I need to..."
"Already on it. Just don't kill her while you guys are doing it." Kaiba said opening the door.
"Filthy pervert..." I mumbled. "Anyways, Yugi, if I was mad, would I do this?" I crawled onto the bed and lied beside her. I pulled Yugi on top of me and kissed in all the places on her neck where there wasn't a cut. I wrapped my arms around her waist and nipped at her ears.
Normal POV
Usually I would kill him for this, but I really do enjoy it. I nuzzled into his chest. I could feel his light dull heartbeat. I felt him pull me up closer to his face.
"You'd better not let anyone else touch you." He said before pressing his lips with mine.
What'd you guys think? I kind had fun finally adding Seth into this whole storyline. It was also kind hard to remember who I had added in. So, if by any chance, I every mess up and put a character back in as something different from before, please don't hesitate to fuss at me!
Yami: Why does my personality change in each chapter?
Because your Yami. You are supposed to be able to have multiple was of scaring people to death.
Yami: not funny.
Yugi: I kind enjoyed when you finished this chapter.
Me too. Seth, please do the disclaimer?
Seth: Of course Milady.
You can cut the act!
Seth: what act?
oh good grief!
Seth: Please Rate and Review and Favorite and fallow Better in the Dark. Thank you kindly for reading!
Oh kindly good grief!
