Starry Skies
Chapter 11
Safe and Sound...
Sort of
Yami had dropped Yugi off twenty minutes ago. Yugi was a little nervous about returning back home with those men still on the loose. It had been two days since the accident though, surely they would've given up by now... Right? He decided after a few more minutes that he was to tired to worry about anything anymore.
Yami was running at top speeds in the shadows the city provided. He finally arrived back at Yugi's house, his right ear twitched as he felt danger approaching. His eyes were constantly searching, his nails ready to strike, as he growled deep in his throat. Whatever had been chasing him had suddenly disappeared, as if it had lost interest or lost sight of its target. Yami relaxed and searched for a vantage point to watch over the game shop. He spotted his vantage point, it was the sloped roof with a window, he could sit there and have sight of everything around the game shop.
Yami leaped up the game shop quietly, and sat on the roof. He heard two heartbeats inside the house, but he recognized the loudest as Yugi's. He focused on that one heartbeat as he sat there watching for the men.
Yugi woke up a couple hours later, he jumped as he caught sight of the shadow that was cast into his room. He got up slowly and moved over to look out the window and get a better look at the form showing the shadow. He recognized the shadow as Yami and smiled. Yugi walked over and opened the window "What are you doing here?" Yugi asked rubbing his eyes sleepily.
"Sorry if I woke you. The men returned, I already stopped them from getting to Seto and Joey. I'm just waiting for them to show up here. I'll scare them away, and then I'll be on my way."
"Oh..." Yugi looked down and then looked back up at Yami. He climbed out the window and sat next to Yami. "Yami?"
Yami continued to stare out into the night "Hm?" He hummed.
"C-Can I..." Yugi sighed "Can I ask you something?"
Yami shrugged, his eyes constanly searching "I don't see why not."
"The other day, when I scared you awake, and we ended up..."
"On my bed?" Yami provided, still searching.
"Y-Yeah... Um... Wh-When I got up..." Yugi was nervous to talk about that day with Yami, he seemed to try to avoid talking about it.
"It's fine Yugi." Yami said looking down at his feet which were curled in front of him. "I know I stepped over the line"
Yugi looked up at Yami, his eyes wide. "Wh-What?! Yami! Did you think that I didn't want to kiss you?!"
Yami looked over at Yugi, his eyes widened. "W-Well yeah..."
"Yami, don't you get it?! I wanted to kiss you!" Yugi sat up on his knees and almost slid off the room.
Yami wrapped his arms around Yugi's hips, holding on to him. "Careful, you'll end up falling."
"But I won't have to worry about that, because I know that you'll save me" Yugi said wrapping his arms around Yami's neck. "Yami, I WANTED to kiss you!
Yami raised a brow "Then why did we start this game of seduction?"
Yugi giggled "Okay one, I hoped it would bring you out of your shell a little, and show you how much I like you! And two, it was Malik's idea."
"Oh great" Yami said shaking his head.
Yugi giggled and shrugged "Its just.. Well... It's my first kiss, and I want my first kiss to be special! I want it to take me by suprise! I want to be swept off my feet and be left dizzy! I-"
Yami leaned forward and kissed Yugi, Yugi's eyes widened before he relaxed and hummed into the kiss.
"Are they kissing?"
"Looks like the human boy fell in love with the vampire boy."
"What will we do now boss?"
"We're breaking in that game shop, and we're going to break up their little love scene."
Yami and Yugi broke the kiss "Did I sweep you off your feet? Make you dizzy? And still special?" Yami asked smirking.
Yugi hummed "And so much more..." He said before kissing Yami again.
Yami hummed into the kiss, but knew it was to cold for Yugi to stay outside in his pajamas. "Yugi, you should get back inside."
"I'm okay" Yugi said. Just then his jaw started to chatter. "Okay, but will you take me back inside?"
Yami picked Yugi up bridal style. "Yeah, I can do that" he said winking.
"Good, 'cause I'm feeling lazy."
Yami chuckled "Of course you are" he said as he jumped inside the window, landing quietly on the floor.
"Wow, you could've snuck in here and I never would've heard you."
"Yeah, but I didn't think that you really liked me" Yami said putting Yugi's feet down.
Yugi clung to Yami "Don't put me down yet."
Yami raised a brow "Why not?"
Yugi put his hands in Yami's hair "This" Yugi whispered kissing Yami again.
Yami moaned into the kiss and held Yugi up by his waist. Yugi wrapped his legs around Yami's hips. "Yugi, we need to stop" Yami whispered against Yugi's lips.
"Yami, I have a question" Yugi whispered, pulling away to look Yami in the eyes.
Yami pulled back and raised his brow "Another one?"
Yugi ignored him "Why didn't you think I liked you?"
"Because Yugi.." Yami said quietly putting Yugi down. "Love stories don't happen for people like me..."
"Yami, I... I don't understand... You act like you're some kind of monster..."
"I am, Yugi..." Yami whispered looking down at the floor.
Yugi placed his hands gently on Yami's face "You're wrong. You're so so SO wrong." Yami looked up so he could look Yugi in the face. "Yami, you are so far from being a monster. You are the sweetest, kindest, most caring person I know. And if it weren't for you, those two men would've killed me. You may be a half vampire, but thats like, the coolest thing ever. Yami, stop seeing yourself as WHAT you are, and start seeing yourself as WHO you are."
Yami smiled at Yugi "Thank you Yugi. Thank you so much." He put his hands on Yugi's hips as Yugi wrapped his arms around his neck. They started closing the distance for another kiss when they heard glass shatter. Yami straightened up "GET DOWN!" The men broke into Yugi's room and Yami stood protectively in front of Yugi. The men shot and Yami got hit with the bullet.
"YAMI! NO!" Yugi cried.
"Obviously these two know nothing about vampires" Yami said looking back up, his eyes glowing. He straightened up and ran forward, knocking the two men down the stairs.
"YAMI!" Yugi yelled. Yami turned to face him as Yugi surprised him with a kiss.
Both of them heard a click and froze. Yami pulled away and looked at Yugi, his eyes half lidded and his right eyebrow raised "Yugi, do tell. Um... Your grandfather wouldn't happen to be SOLOMON Motou would it?"
"Uh, yeah... Why?" Yugi asked raising his left eyebrow.
"That, uh, that would explain the crossbow in my back, that's loaded with a wooden stake..."
"Get your hands off my grandson, and turn around to face me" Solomon said, anger evident in his voice. Yami put his hands up, backed away from Yugi, and turned to face Solomon. "You look familiar."
"As I should, I look a lot like my father" Yami said simply.
"You're Aknamkanon's boy aren't you?" Solomon asked narrowing his eyes.
Yami nodded "That I am."
"What happened to your shoulder?" Solomon asked motioning towards Yami's shoulder.
Yami looked down to where the bullet went through his shirt "I got shot."
"How'd that happen?"
"I stood in front of Yugi."
Yugi jumped in front of Yami "Grandpa you can't shoot Yami."
"So, you took a bullet for my grandson?"
Yami nodded "Mhm. And I'd do it again. I'll protect Yugi until my final breath, starting with this." Yami said grabbing Yugi and putting him behind him.
"Yami no!" Yugi cried.
"I'm sorry Yugi, but I won't allow you to be hurt" Yami said quietly.
Solomon lowered the crossbow. "You'd die for my grandson wouldn't you?"
Yami nodded "I would."
Solomon put the crossbow down "Then I can't rightfully shoot you."
Yami's eyes widened "Huh?"
"You're protecting my grandson. I can see that you make him very happy." Solomon smiled. "It's been a while since I've seen a smile like that on Yugi's face."
Yami smiled and glanced back at Yugi "Glad I could help."
They all heard a gun click. "How touching, but unfortunately, it won't last that long."
Yami stood protectively in front of Solomon and Yugi "I won't allow you to hurt these two."
"Well, that's just to bad, because you see, that boy there was a witness to us almost killing Seto Kaiba. If you hadn't of shown up, this wouldn't be happening right now."
"And if I hadn't of shown up, Yugi, Joey, and Seto would've been killed" Yami growled back.
"Exactly, so now the three of you have to die, and not just the boy."
"The only way you're getting to these two is over my cold, dead, unmoving body" Yami spat.
"What a coincidence, we're fixing to make you that way" the man chuckled evilly.
"Like hell you are!" Yami growled. He ran forward, getting shot in the stomach, and took the two men tumbling down the stairs.
"Yami!" Yugi yelled.
Yami threw the shorter man over into one of the display cases as the taller man latched onto his back. "Can you please not tear up the game shop?!" Solomon yelled from the top of the stairs.
Yami looked up at Solomon and nodded "Sorry about that!" Yami snatched ahold of the man that was on his back "Let's take this... Out-side!" Yami grunted as he threw the man out the broken door. The shorter man had crawled off the display case and was crawling towards his gun. Yami ran forward and kicked the man out the door before hand springing out the broken glass himself. Yugi and Solomon ran down the stairs and were watching Yami wrestle the two men out of the broken glass on the door. "Now would be the time to call the police and report a robbery!" Yami yelled.
"Right! I'll get right on that" Solomon said running for the phone.
Yami looked up and noticed the sun coming up "Uh oh..."
"Yami? Are you able to be out in the sun?" Yugi asked.
"Honestly... I'm not to sure on that one" Yami said.
"Then I guess now is the time to find out" the taller man says as each of them grabbed Yami's legs.
Yami gulped "Well, this isn't good" Yami squeezed his eyes shut and waited for the sun to come up.
"Yami no!" Yugi yelled, fearing the worst.
The sun came up and Yami feels his nails shrinking, but doesn't open his eyes. His fangs begin shrinking, and he feels his ears round out. He feels his pupils widen out from their diamond shape. He slowly opens his eyes and realizes that he just transformed without blowing up.
"Yami! You're okay!" Yugi cheered.
"Yeah, I guess I am" Yami said looking himself over to make sure he was okay. He remembers what he was doing, looks down at the two men, and narrows his eyes "And now back to what I was doing" He said smirking. Yami started beating the crap out of the two guys until the police show up. Yami is laying across the two men when the police arrive.
"You called about a break in?" The officer asked Solomon.
"Yes, uh, they're over there under my grandson's boyfriend."
"Grandpa!" Yugi yelled blushing.
"Oh, so you two kissing had nothing to do with being together?" Solomon asked rolling his eyes.
Yami jogged over and smiled "Well, I wouldn't say nothing..."
"What the..." Solomon said rubbing his eyes.
Yami chuckled "It's just not official yet." Yami walked over to Yugi and grabbed his hands. "But I'd like to make it official... If you want it to be."
Yugi smiled brightly "Yami, there is nothing else that I would rather do." Yugi said sweetly wrapping his arms around Yami's neck and kissing him.
"Excuse me for interrupting, but weren't you just a vampire?"
Yami chuckled and broke the kiss. "Yes, yes I was. You see Solomon, unlike my father, I am not a full blooded vampire. I am only half, during the night I am a vampire that goes by Yami. During the day I am a human, that usually goes by Atem. It's how I've avoided being hunted."
"Well Yami, Atem, whatever, there are a few things that you've inherited from your father" Solomon said crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Really?" Yami asked looking at Solomon and raising a brow.
Solomon nodded "His brains for one, your father was very smart."
Yami chuckled sheepishly "Yeah, yeah he was.."
"And his kind heart." Yami looked up at Solomon, his eyes wide with surprise. Solomon smiled "Though everyone says that Aknamkanon was a monster, I know differently. I would've died had it not been for Aknamkanon." Yami and Yugi exchanged glances "I know, sounds crazy right? A vamire saving a vampire hunter." Solomon chuckled and sighed. "Aknamkanon found me freezing in a winter much like this one. I had been outside searching for my friend, who I still hadn't found."
"Arthur..." Yami said.
"So your father told you the story."
"Well, father didn't really go into great detail, he never did tell me your name, of course when he was telling the story we were found, and we had to start running. All he ever called you was Mr. Motou. It wasn't until the day he died that he told me your first name."
Solomon nodded "Right. And I did the same, until I saw you... You resemble your father in a few features Yami, a lot more of his younger days than his older."
"Thank you Solomon."
Solomon nodded again. "Anyway, when Aknamkanon found me I was frozen, my face down in the snow. He brought me back to his house, and sat me by a fire, placing warm soup in my lap once I had been able to sit up. I was shocked to see a vampire there and I began to panic, I searched around for my gun. Your father put his hand on my shoulder and told me there was no reason to be afraid. He had saved me from my impending doom, and I decided to spare his life as well. So, I stuck around, hoping to some day repay my debt. After going home, three weeks later, I had gotten a phone call, Aknamkanon was becoming a father. He didn't know what he was doing and so I decided it was time for me to help. I went and helped your father and mother with their birth. Five hours later, you came into this world Yami."
Yami looked at Solomon as if he'd just shot someone. "Y-You knew my mom?"
Solomon nodded "Yes Yami, I knew your mother. She was a beautiful young woman, she had long, crimson red hair, with blonde bangs, her eyes were crimson red, a lot like yours. I knew you were half human half vampire Yami, I just didn't know that you changed between the two."
Yugi watched Yami watch Solomon describe his mother. 'Poor Yami, he didn't even know his own mom...'
"Your mother gave birth to you, I was able to save you, due to you being born at night. However... Your mother wasn't as lucky... Being as she was only a human, she ended up losing to much blood. I tried my hardest to keep her alive, but nothing I did could've saved her. Aknamkanon was so sad. I still don't know if he blamed me for Yamino's death, or if he knows that it couldn't be helped."
Yugi noticed the tears welling up in his grandfather's eyes. He also noticed there were tears running down Yami's face.
"He doesn't blame you Solomon." Yami said quietly looking back up.
Solomon looked up and met Yami's eyes "Wh-What?"
"My father..." Yami said quietly smiling. "He doesn't blame you. He never did. He told me the story over and over again. He said, that you were the first real friend that he feels he's ever had. He told me that he knew how hard you tried to save my mom, and he knew that with all the blood loss, Yamino would've died no matter what. But... He said that if you hadn't of shown up that night, he would've been all alone, because not only would he have lost his wife, he would've lost his son as well. So he thanks you for saving me, even if you couldn't save Yamino. Yamino knew the risks that had to be taken to have a child like me, and she wanted to take those risks. She got to hold me one last time before she died, and she left a message in my mind with the tear drop that hit my face. She wants you to know how thankful she is. Thanks to you, she got to hold her baby boy, and now she gets to watch over him, no matter where he goes."
"Thank you Yami" Solomon said shakily.
Yami smiled "C'mon, let's get you two inside. It's wayy to cold to be out here in pajamas." The three of them walk into the game shop.
"Don't worry about the door Solomon, I'll have someone come over and fix that right up for ya" Yami said.
"Yami, you really don't have to do that." Solomon said.
"I know, but it's kind of my fault that they broke in here. Besides, its not a big deal."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
