I AM Strong - 14
They both ran outside, pushing past bystanders and other people who were trying to get out of the cafe. Everyone looked down the street, and saw nothing but black mists. Yami had a feeling that the source was from a 'certain someone'. Seizing Yugi's hand, he rushed forward towards the chaos. They had to push through even more people and more crowds. Making their way through, Yugi saw someone's body violently fling miles away from the mist. He made a small whimper and looked at Yami. Yami seemed to have stopped, but his grip on Yugi's hand did not weaken in the least bit. The dark one was staring up at the mist, and it soon disappeared from the sky. Yami then quickly let go of Yugi's hand, and lunged forward.
"Wait! Yami!"
Tearing through dozens of humans, before Yami was an artificial shadow-walker. But this one, was intelligent.
Yami whipped his head back at Yugi.
"Stay back!" He yelled.
"Yami, I can-" Before the boy could finish his sentence, Yami ran towards the artificial shadow-walker and charged towards him head on. A huge shock-wave rang through the ground and the air. Once they collided, Yugi watched as the force of their collision cracked not only the concrete of the street, but the buildings nearby. Yugi was even knocked back, and was hurled towards the concrete. Thankfully, he picked himself right back up with small bruises on his legs and arms. Others around him however, weren't so lucky, and were thrown to the ground like rag dolls. The two shadow-walkers had dark auras surrounding them as they continued trying to push each other down, fists gripped within each other's palms.
Yami had to admit, this bastard wasn't as weak as he thought. He was fighting back easily, and he was almost at the same caliber as Yami himself. The dark one gritted his teeth and shoved his foot into the concrete, giving him an edge and shoving the shadow-walker away a few good feet. Yami panted a little, cracking his knuckles and lunging for him once again. Only this time, using his shadows to give him more momentum. The shadow-walker quickly recovered and reacted fast to Yami's attack, punching him away. Yami took the hit, but quickly began punching back.
Something was off. Why the hell was this shadow-walker so damn advanced!? Could Venom had really improved this much in his shadow magic? No no, he had to have gotten help from somewhere. No way could he make something like this on his own. And where there was one artificial shadow-walker, there was more. Not only that, but Venom must have been nearby. He had to defeat this thing, and quick.
Meanwhile, Yugi was making his way towards Yami, running as fast as he could.
"Yami!" He yelled, but the dark one could not hear him as he was distracted by the shadow-walker. As they clashed with their fists, Yugi just gave up. Time to put manners into his own hands. Yugi closed his eyes, making himself focus on nothing but his energy being dwelt within his hands. White aura began to engulf his arms and fingers, and he felt power rising up. Opening his now pure white eyes, he locked his target on the artificial shadow-walker.
This was tricky. He could hit Yami easily, and with this power, could maybe kill him. Or at least that's what Yugi thought. The dark one couldn't fight alone, Yugi needed to help. He had to just do it!
Locking his eyes on the artificial shadow-walker, he inhaled and quickly exhaled. He raised his hands at the two dark ones and prepared to fire. The depths in his palms were glowing with whiteness, ready to shoot. Yugi licked his lips, and made a small grunt as he fired.
In that old abandoned shop on the outskirts of Domino, a 'meeting' was in progression.
"What!? Are you insane? Do you not remember what happened last time we all got him pissed?! We all almost died from that bastard!" A familiar voice yelled. A sadistic chuckle was his reply.
"So what? He'll be more powerful, but he won't lay a hand on either of us. I'll be absorbing him before he even gets the chance to fight back."
"Oh? And what about his new fuck-buddy? That boy has pure magic. And that power of his could kill us before Poison even gets the chance to get pissed!"
"That's why we're going after him first. But we have to wait until they separate. Poison's too paranoid to leave him alone now, but he'll slip up and that'll be our chance. Besides~" The sadistic voice added. "I already know the boy's address by heart. We're gonna have all kinds of fun with him..."
"Hm.." The loud one paused in thought. "Not bad. But how do you suppose we'll separate them?"
"I'll give you a hint, Toxin. Poison's been visiting that reincarnation of Seth to get back the other keys to detach Noxious from Limbo. In the world of 'business', who's the boss of the Kaiba kid?"
The loud one gave a chuckle himself.
"Oh you are evil." The loud one began to laugh. "This'll be perfect! We'll have plenty of time! I wonder though..." The loud one's voice began to fade into a deathly whisper. "What do you think he's gonna do to poor little Posion?
"Who knows.." The sadistic one replied. "He's a very...'Scientific' person. Perhaps he'll need to run a few 'tests' on Yami."
"Oh God this is gonna be entertaining!"
In an instant, the white orb tore through the artificial shadow-walker, turning it's insides into ash and black humps of blood. Yugi almost puked from seeing that. The glowing white orb just missed Yami by only a few centimeters, which relieved Yugi. The artificial shadow-walker however, began to scream and cry out in pain. Dissolving into a black bloody mess of ashes and some chunks of his body. The dark one's eyes widened in surprise. He quickly looked back at Yugi and blinked.
Damn. That only took Yugi a few seconds to kill him, while it could have taken Yami more than ten minutes.
The dark one felt a slither of embarrassment.
As the corpse dissolved, Yami walked over to Yugi and just stared down at him. Yugi's eyes regained their purple iris' and looked up at his companion.
"U-Um.." Yugi stuttered.
"How in the fuck, did you do that?"
Yugi mentally face palmed. "W-What?"
"You killed that thing in five seconds flat. How did you do that?" Yami asked again. Yugi felt his face heat up, so he quickly looked down.
"Atem helped me awaken my pure powers. I wanted to help so I-"
"You never cease to amaze me Yugi." The dark one smirked. The boy made a small shy smile, still looking down to hide his blush.
"I tried to tell you. I can fight too." Yugi slightly whimpered as a hand came upon his head to gentle pat him.
"My apologies, Yugi. Thank you for helping me. If it was not for you, I could have gotten my ass kicked." The dark one proudly praised. With a quick kiss on the forehead, he let go of Yugi's head and grabbed his hand. "We should probably get out of here."
"Right." Yugi quickly agreed, and was lifted up into Yami's arms. Yugi then gave Yami a quizzical look.
"I am going back to your house. But I am taking the quicker way." Yami smirked as he jumped up in the air, and began to fly with black aura being his smoke trails.
The boy of light bounced on his couch lightly as he awaited for his boyfriend. Yami was currently changing his appearance in another room. Why? Yugi complained about the dark one's appearance constantly being just 'black, goth and leather'. While Yami argued that 'fashion' didn't matter much to him, he reluctantly complied and went upstairs to change. What confused Yugi, was why Yami needed the privacy. Shadows could just appear on his body and his clothes would change in an instant. Perhaps he couldn't decide...
Speak of the devil, he just walked in.
When Yugi turned around to greet him, he was a bit impressed. Yami wore his infamous black leather jacket, but with a red t-shirt that read: "I BITE-BEWARE" in horror styled text. He wore dark grey jeans and instead of his leather boots, he wore some red sneakers. While the light one liked this change, the dark one felt differently. His expression seemed rather annoyed.
"Are you happy now?" The dark one hissed. Yugi laughed and clapped his hands with glee.
"Yes! You look normal now!"
"Whatever.." The shadow-walker grumbled. He sat next to Yugi and sighed. "On serious terms, I need to talk to you about something important." He turned his gaze at Yugi, his expression nothing but serious. Yugi's frown faltered into a thin line. He quickly nodded.
"What is it?"
"A while ago when I visited Kaiba, he gave me some very, very useful information and something very valuable. It will help us in tracking down Atem." Yami started. He raised his hand in the air, as if he was trying to grab something. Suddenly, shadows began to appear and surround his wrist, and made their way into his palm. "Kaibe told me where exactly to find Atem in Limbo. Not only that, but he told me how to detach him from that world."
Yugi stared at Yami's shadow-infiltrated hand. "Detach..?"
"One cannot simply take someone back from the depths of hell and turn them into a living being again. We need to have Atem alive first before we can take him out. If your dead there, or if you die there, trying to escape with your soul would only be stopped by some kind of shield from the skies of Limbo. And we shall be able to accomplish that, with two more..." The shadows soon disappeared from his hand, and something shiny and gold like appeared there instead. Before Yugi's eyes, was a golden pyramid like looking pendant. "...Of these." Yami smirked.
"What...Is that?" Yugi was in amazement at the pendant's shiny glow.
"This, Yugi, is Atem's treasure. The key to his power and his energy. Two more of these treasures hold something that he'll need dearly. This treasure hold his strength. " The dark one handed Yugi the pendant. "Feel it for yourself."
Holding the pendant in his hands, the boy felt nothing but the weight of the treasure. He tried to concentrate and feel it's aura, but he still felt nothing. He became confused. "Err..Yami this isn't-" And just then, it all came rushing in.
Power.
IMMENSE power.
It felt as if God himself gave a tap of his power to the boy.
However, most Gods were believed to be holy beings. This power, was far from innocent. It felt dark, destructive, monstrous and terrifying. The only thing that came to mind when touching this power, was blood. Gallons and gallons of blood. Red, and black. And for some reason, it was really painful...!
Yugi quickly dropped the pendant into the couch cushion and panted heavily.
"T-That's.." He couldn't stop himself from stuttering. "That's Atem's strength..?!" He almost whispered. Yami grinned and nodded.
"I know. Crazy eh?" Yami picked up the pendant into his hand. "This is the Millennium puzzle. It was very valuable to Atem's family, and he inherited this treasure. As you just felt, it contains a crap load of power. And, it can protect you if you use it properly. However, this thing is dangerous to mess with if you screw up with it's powers. So I do not recommend you messing with it's aura. I myself, am not even allowed to mess with it, and I know all it's ins and outs. Anyway," Yami gave Yugi back the pendant. "As long as you don't concentrate on it's energy, it won't harm you. Now Yugi, I need you to do me a very important favor."
Yugi cautiously looked at the pendant and held it in his hands. "Yeah?" He looked up at his boyfriend.
"I need you to have that pendant by your side. On full alert, full time, twenty-four-seven." The dark one's tone was steady. Yugi's jaw almost dropped.
"W-What?! Yami I couldn't! This is way too valuable! I can't be some...Guardian of this pendant!"
Wow, did it just turn into deja vu? Good times, thought Yami. He made a faint smile at the memory. "Yugi, I can trust you with this. You're strong. You are able to protect this thing. I need to get the other treasures, but as long as you keep this intact, everything will be fine. We shall be able to get Atem back, and this can be all over. Please, I trust you, now trust me." The dark one caressed the boy's face, looking into his eyes.
Yugi was mesmerized and captivated by those eyes of his. Darn him and his 'see no evil' concept! "O-Okay. I'll do it." He whispered. Yami smiled and gently let him go.
"Thank you Yugi. Tomorrow I will not be able to see you. I am going to be finding the two keys with Kaiba. I want you to stay in the game shop and absolutely not go out. You will be safe here. Alright?"
"Yes!" Yugi happily nodded. He felt amazing. He felt important and useful for once! Besides helping Jii-chan in the game shop, he never felt so significant before! He's literally helping to save someone's life, and that felt great. Yugi could also understand why Yami wanted him to stay put. There were shadow-walkers about, and it truly was the safest place.
"We shall keep in contact by mind-link, so I will not miss you too much." Yami winked, making Yugi slightly blush. However, he blushed even more when his cold lips pressed on his. "Mm.."
"M-Mn..!" Then Yugi felt it. He felt his tongue evade his mouth and explore every inch. The roof of his mouth, his own tongue, underneath it..He felt it swirl with his own and tasting their saliva mix. The light smacking sound of their mouths as they french kissed, made the dark one a bit aroused. And then, for the second time in his life, Yami felt his breath turn hot. Hot. This boy was making him do things he didn't even know he could do. And he was doing so well for someone so inexperienced. He was kissing back with as much effort, and only lacking a little skill. The boy was amazing. Their tongues fought for dominance, Yami making it easy and winning over. He felt the boy begin to sink into his seat, and Yami found himself pinning him on the couch cushions, the pendant forgotten and dropping on the floor. Yami held Yugi's hands above his head and fiercely kissed him more, his knees pinning the boy's legs down. As for Yugi, he felt a sense of enjoyment being dominated like this. He loved it. And he wanted more, even though a part of him felt this was wrong.
Yami lightly rubbed one of his knees against the light one's crotch, making him moan loudly in the kiss. And holy shit. Hearing that...
Aroused him so fucking much.
But no. This had to stop. If they continued, this boy wouldn't even be considered a virgin anymore. He had to stop this before he lost himself, and do something rash. Yami hesitantly stopped his movements and broke the kiss. A thick string of saliva that once connected their lips, broke. Yami looked into the boy's eyes once more, as he did the same. Yami felt his little heart pounding in his chest, and he was panting heavily. He must have gotten aroused as well. He wanted to do more. He wanted to do so much more to this boy and sin him into lust. But alas, he couldn't break himself to taint him. He just couldn't. The dark one slowly let go of his hands, and got off of him. Yugi slowly sat up, still staring at Yami. Yami stared back, slightly panting himself.
He hadn't had a heated kiss in fucking years, and Ra did it feel good to do it again.
Just looking at the boy made him feel even more aroused. There was still saliva forming down his lip, and his eyes were half-lidded. His cheeks red as roses, and exhaling hot breath. Yami felt his own cheeks tint grey a little.
What seemed like an eternity, a few minutes only passed. The silence was so loud.
"I..." Until Yugi spoke up. "..I love you. Yami." The boy lightly yelped as he felt Yami grip his forearms. The shadow-walker stared at him intensely, his eyes filled with lust and daring to make a move on him. A part of Yugi wanted Yami to ravage him right on the couch. But instead, he merely kissed him lightly on the lips, and licked off the saliva.
"I love you too, Yugi." The dark one let go of his arms and reached down for the pendant. He gently put it in Yugi's palms, and stood up from the couch. "I may be gone for a few days. But I will keep in contact with you this time. I know I have ruined some promises, but this one I swear, I will come back. I swear on my life." Yami made a small smile at the boy, who slowly smiled back. The dark one made his way towards the stairs to the game shop, and paused as the light one followed. "Please, promise me you will be safe."
Yugi nodded. "Of course I will."
"Good boy." The dark one walked down the stairs and made his way for the door.
"Good luck!" Yugi quickly called out. "You be careful too!"
The shadow-walker hesitated. He was right in front of the door. He wanted to run back up there so bad and just tackle the boy on that couch again. But he needed to go. He'll be okay...He promised.
"I will."
And with that, he was gone. The light one watched as Yami walked away from the shop outside. And a part of him, wished he would come back. He looked down at the pendant and sighed.
This was all for Atem.
END 15
