A Signer's Destiny
Chapter Four
By Kellyq
Crow looked out the window to see a black car pull up. His face lit up with he saw Yusei and the others climb out of the car. Crow ran down the stairs, and out the door. He grabbed Yusei and gave him a nooky.
"How's my gorgeous best friend?"
Yusei smiled and pried his friend off. "I'm doing fine."
Crow nodded his head and looked at the group. He noticed the mark on Kiryu's cheek. "That's a cool tattoo! Where did you get it, Kiryu? I want one!" Yusei shook his head, and the vibes changed a little. "Anyways. Follow me. The sooner we get some sort of security built, the better the kids are."
They all nodded their heads and followed Crow inside. The smell of mold, and dust reached their noses. The gang made their way up the stairs to see the kids waiting. One of them got to his feet and ran over to Crow, and hugged him. He had spiky black short hair. The tattered shirt was orange and the pants were black. The child had no shoes on.
"I want to show you something!" The boy said. He pulled Crow to the group of kids. They all held up rubber band shooters.
Leo's face lit up. He stepped up, but he was pulled back by his sister. "Don't even think about it. You're just going to break it," Luna pointed out.
Leo huffed. "You're no fun! Besides, it looks like it's going to fall apart at any moment."
As if on cue, some of the rubber band shooters came apart. All the rubber bands went flying all over and everyone moved out of the way. Leo picked up a rubber band and flicked it at one of the kids. The child moved out of the way, laughing. Another child picked up a rubber band up and flicked it at another kid. It wasn't long before there was a small rubber band war. Crow and Yusei chuckled and started to head down the stairs. One of the kids ran over to Kiryu and hid half of his body behind the Dark Signer.
"Get away from me, you little earwig!" Kiryu ordered. He turned around and pushed the child away. The little boy backed away, fear and hurt shown in his eyes. He turned and ran over to Crow, crying.
Another kid picked up a rubber band and flicked at Kiryu's mark on his cheek. The Dark Signer turned, the outer rim of his eyes turning black. Yusei dashed forward and stood protectively in front of the kids. The atmosphere turned cold as the two lovers stared at each other for a moment. Kiryu glared, turned and walked down the stairs. Carly was about to make a joke, but Misty shook her head.
"Why don't I just keep them occupied," Luna suggested. "While you guys come up with something."
After Yusei hot wired the electricity box, the lights flickered and came on. The kids cheered as Yusei walked back in. He placed his laptop and equipment on the table.
"Yusei!" came Leo's voice from the stairs. "Can you come up here? I found something really cool, and I wanted to know if you can fix it for us!"
Yuesi was about to move, but Jack put his hand on his shoulder, saying that he would go see what was up. Carly let out a dreamy sigh.
"Isn't my Jack the sweetest guy on the planet?"
Jack let out a grunt of irritation and went upstairs. Leo did a victory dance, and pulled Jack to the group. Yuei opened his laptop and started to type things. It didn't take long before a 3D image of the warehouse was displayed. They all stared at the screen.
"No wonder why this place smells - this building is 17 years old," Carly complained, waving her hand in front of her nose.
"It uses to be a lab," Yusei started to explain.
"I know," Crow said. "When I got here, I just told the kids not to go down into the basement."
Yusei nodded his head. Jack made his way down the stairs and walked over to the screen. "What do we have so far?"
"Not much I'm afraid," Yusei informed. "We'll have set up some sort of defense and make sure that the kids stay away from the basement. This place was a lab .."
Jack's eyebrow twitched. His eyes averted from the screen to Crow. "And this is your idea of a safe plan?"
"I had to find the safest place that was close," Crow explained. "And don't worry. The kids know better than to go down there." There was a playful glint in his eyes. Yusei eyed his friend and shook his head. He had a feeling that Crow told the kids a scary story to make sure they didn't go down there.
After Crow had put the kids to sleep, he, Carly and Misty decided they would do the first watch. Jack sat with the kids while Yusei and Kiryu found a room. It was only occupied with one mattress. Yusei made the first move. He pulled Kiryu in a kiss. He caught on and kissed back. Kiryu pushed Yusei on the mattress and his hand started to explore his boyfriend's body, mapping out Yusei's well built slim body.
"Yusei..." Kiryu murmured. The young Signer gave his boyfriend his full attention. Kiryu's expression darkened. "I may not like kids one bit, but I won't let anything happen to any of us."
Kiryu took Yusei's arm and kissed the mark. The young Signer leaned up and kissed the mark Kiryu's cheek. Their lips met in a heated kiss, as Kiryu shifted his body, so he was on top of Yusei.
The only thing that they were unaware of, was Jack watching them through the crack of the open door. He closed his eyes for a brief moment, turned and walked back upstairs, a lot of emotions running through him.
