Chapter Eight: Friends Are Close
Judai squeezed his eyes shut and allowed the countless tears to leak their way down his pale cheek, mixing with the small amount of blood and scratches that added some color to his face.
Johan-!
Johan picked up speed.
He panted heavily as he dashed towards the area where Judai's energy was resonating, getting stronger and stronger with each and every passing moment.
Judai-! Johan thought.
He could feel the worry and concern making his heart beat faster than it should, but he felt as if there was a giant weight where his heart was supposed to be, like an iron box.
It was hurting him, and it was slowing him down.
Johan felt cold sweat streaming down his face, and he knew that it was because of the ill feeling that he was getting. He felt like the closer he was getting to Judai's energy, the worse whatever was happening to Judai was getting.
I felt Judai's energy! Something's wrong! Did something happen to him! the bluenette duelist thought. He tried to ignore all of the horrible thoughts that passed through his mind.
Where is he?
Back at the tent, far from Johan, Giese eyed Judai carefully. He paid special attention to the boy's chest, which was very thin and curved, and if it weren't for the lack of breasts and big hips, Giese would have thought that Judai was a girl.
"Hmm..."
Giese slowly reached forward and placed the tip of his finger right where Judai's heart was.
He could feel the light thump-thump of the boy's pounding, horror-filled heart. He looked into Judai's dull, tear-filled eyes and then back down to his exposed chest, which revealed down to his stomach.
"You are still just a little boy," Giese said.
He suddenly grabbed Judai's chest where his heart was roughly with his sharp nails.
"Ow-!" Judai cried out in agony.
Giese hummed and locked eyes with Judai. "This method does little for me," he said, more to himself than to the brunette.
Giese grabbed Judai's chin roughly and forced the brunette who was still trapped to the wall to lock eyes with him. Judai shuddered, a few trails of tears leaking down his cheeks, and he grit his teeth, forcing himself not to look into Giese's dark eyes.
"But, I needed the best and most... wonderful way to destroy you, my dear little duelist," Giese said.
A dark chuckle escaped his lips.
"Did you happen to think that my little card-vanishing trick seemed believable? You and Andersen both seemed to believe that that little Gem Beast truly had been stolen. All I had to do was make sure that the card spirit was trapped for a little while, and you two walked right into my web like a bunch of flies," he explained.
Judai gasped, brown eyes widening with horror.
"T-then that means..." the brunette gulped, his eyes watering even further. "R-Ruby was never..."
Giese chuckled darkly, silencing the brunette almost instantly. He smiled wickedly down at the boy and forced Judai to look into his stone grey colored eyes once again.
"Unfortunately for you, Ruby Carbuncle was never stolen."
Judai's dull eyes widened in horror, but a slight relief washed over him. Giese leaned closer and locked eyes with Judai. The young duelist felt as if he were able to feel Giese staring right into his soul. It made him feel cold, and Judai felt his teeth chattering. He forced his jaw shut in order to keep Giese from seeing anymore fear from him.
"I merely had some of my hand-made subordinates capture the card spirit for a little while. Once Andersen noticed that she was missing, it was so easy to make his life a living Hell. Worrying about what had happened to her. And you, his dear fiance, felt so guilty, even if it was not your fault, that you came rushing right into my little trap," Giese said with a wicked grin.
Judai felt his eyes swell with tears, and he started trembling.
I-it was you who made Johan cry so bad. It was you who made him think a member of his family had been taken, the duelist thought. You made Johan think that Ruby was dead! It was all you!
"H-how dare you..." Judai whispered.
"Hm?" Giese blinked and drew back as Judai started trembling violently in his bonds. Judai glanced up, the tears streaming down his cheeks, leaving almost no part of his cheeks dry.
"HOW DARE YOU-!" he cried.
Giese felt a twinge of terror as he felt his energy that was holding Judai still against the wall start to weaken. It was a power that he remembered well. It had belonged to Yubel, the one that Giese had been working for before he had been taken away by the spirits of the Duel monsters he had captured.
Judai!
Judai's eyes widened slightly. Yubel? he thought in shock.
Judai, are you all right? Yubel's voice rang out from the back of Judai's mind. It had been so long, that Judai almost believed he was imagining the voice of the duel spirit that he had fused with.
Yubel, you have to help me! Judai pleaded, shaking in terror. He was thankful that he was still able to use Yubel's power, since it was obviously keeping Giese distracted and afraid. H-he's going to-
Shh... It's all right, Judai. It's all right. I'm here. I'll help you. Just don't pass out. I can't fully use my powers if you pass out, the female duel spirit called out from the depths of Judai's mind.
By this time, Giese was returning to his normal state of mind. He shook the terror off and looked at the determination in Judai's dull, tear-glistening eyes.
"That's a cute trick you learned," Giese said.
A soft, evil grin touched the corners of his lips.
"However..."
Judai felt the energy on his body start to lessen. He gasped in confusion and glanced up to see the look on Giese's face. There wasn't any emotion, not even amusement in his eyes.
"This is as far as you go."
Judai felt himself slam down, and he whacked his head hard against the ground. He gasped as his vision turned bright white for a moment, and he felt the darkness of unconsciousness seeping across his vision.
A picture of Johan's face flashed in his mind.
It sent a warmth down the boy's body, but the warmth was instantly replaced by an amount of cold as Judai realized that Johan was not coming to rescue him. Johan wasn't here.
Jo...
Judai felt the last amount of his consciousness fade, and the image of his tall, emerald eyed, spiky haired bluenette dressed in the Obelisk outfit from North Academy in Europe started to fade.
...han...
Judai, no! Yubel's desperate voice was so distant in his fading mind, that Judai could barely hear her. Don't pass out! Judai couldn't hear her voice clearly anymore. His mind was slowly consumed by the darkness.
Giese watched as Judai slumped to the ground, right onto the floor before him.
Judai had landed on his back, his black shirt and jacket thrown wide open, revealing his chest up to his stomach and his shoulders up to his forearms. Judai's brown hair was messy and had some blood in it from the struggling, but it made him slightly more attractive in his unconscious state. His pale face was still sporting a few blood stains and scratches, but they also seemed to add to his attractive state.
Giese knelt before Judai and scooped him up slightly, his huge hand intertwining into Judai's hair. The lack of movement, savor the rising and falling of his chest, let Giese know that Judai was partially unconscious, no longer able to fight back, or make sense of anything that was going on around him.
"You cause so much trouble, little boy," Giese said. He looked down at Judai's pale white chest, and felt a smile playing with the corners of his lips once again. "I am not attracted to a little boy such as you. This method means nothing to me," Giese said.
He smirked to himself.
An image of Johan flashed through the muscle-bound duel spirit hunter's mind. His blue hair, emerald eyes, and pale skin. Giese smirked again at the thought of the boy, his enemy.
"But I am very much looking forward to seeing that boy's reaction..."
Giese reached down and placed one hand on Judai's cheek, the other right at his chest. The hand on Judai's cheek traced one of the scratches and touched Judai's pale lips. A very weak unconscious moan, almost unnoticeable, came from Judai's throat.
Giese's other hand traveled to Judai's chest and down his stomach, running over Judai's pale frame and down his pants. His hands found the zipper to Judai's pants and started to fiddle with it, gradually pulling it down.
"When he finds out that you, the boy he loves..."
Giese unzipped Judai's pure white jeans and pulled them down, along with Judai's boxers. Fortunately, Judai's partially opened Osiris red school jacket and black button-up shirt was long enough to cover up Judai's private areas, just enough so that they were out of sight.
A wicked smirk touched Giese's lips, a dark chuckle escaping his lips.
"Has been taken by another man..."
Me: AAAAGH! Giese, you mother fucking bastard, get away from Judai!
Lucy: And Judai's passed out, so Yubel can not use her powers to rescue him! His only chance is for Johan to arrive before something horrible happens to Judai!
Me: Johan, you need to hurry before it's too late!
Lucy: Please review nicely and we'll update!
