Aqua Girl 007: Anyways, here is the next chapter; I hope you guys enjoy it.
The next day came and it was time for Yugi and Yami to get ready for school. Luckily, they were allowed to wear casual clothes for a week to give them time to buy their uniforms. They needed to go shopping for furniture and junk after school anyways. Yami planned on shopping for the heavier stuff, due to his enormous strength from being a vampire.
Yugi made himself some cereal and milk for breakfast, eating it on the floor, since there were no table or chairs yet. Yami sped out the door, and then returned with two rabbits with huge bite marks. Yugi narrowed his eyes distastefully.
"I promise I won't make a mess," Yami promised, showing a cardboard box, where he put the two rabbits.
"I still hate it when you eat in the house. If people see blood droppings everywhere, they're gonna think we're serial killers," Yugi said.
"It's animal blood and I think the police are smart enough to know it's hunting season for rabbits."
Yami took a bite on the rabbit and made a sucking noise. Yugi sighed while rolling his eyes in disgust.
"It's a good thing I have a strong stomach. I doubt if you're ever gonna get a girlfriend," Yugi muttered before Yami stuck out his bloody tongue, which made his brother cringe. "Yami!"
Yami chuckled, then sucked on the rabbit's blood again. This wasn't his favorite type of meal. In fact, he preferred goat and goose blood in general. They were one of his favorite types of blood. Each type of blood in every animal had its own taste. It usually was better when the blood was more salty, thick, or held the sweet tasting. The best ones were usually meat eaters like lions or bears.
Yugi sighed, and then threw his paper bowl away. He and Yami were able to get some paper bowls, paper plates, and plastic silverware from local fast food joints. Yugi leaned against the wall and thought, 'sometimes I wonder how anyone could just wake up and find out that your only source of food is blood.'
"It's in the gene!" Yami replied. Being a vampire, he was also given the ability to read people's minds, though it was not controlled. Yami could not turn this on or off anytime he wanted to.
"You done with that?" Yugi asked as Yami licked the blood off his lips, then took the cardboard box with two bloodless rabbits and stuck them in the freezer.
"Done! You can have the rest for tonight," Yami said. While he did haunt animals for their blood, he saved the meat part for his brother Yugi.
Yugi smiled, and then walked out the door to get inside the truck. Yami drove on their way to school as Yugi stared out the window. He and Yami wore the same type of clothing they wore last night. It was better than nothing, since they had nothing but a roof over their heads and the clothes on their backs. Yugi could predict that he and his brother would have a hard life now that their parents were gone.
Yugi remembered the attack. He and Yami were just playing Duel Monsters when they heard their door crash through the house. They were attacked by a clan of vampires. Yugi remembered watching as the vampires drained his parents' blood and ripped them apart. Yami took Yugi and ran on their way out the door. One vampire glomped Yami, biting his shoulder as he screamed in pain. Yugi punched the vampire off his brother, and then carried him to the truck before driving off to the hospital.
Tears slowly fell from Yugi's eyes, remembering when the doctors drove Yami to the hospital room while he was crying and wailing in pain. Yugi stayed with his brother, streaming tears and praying that he would be alright. Yami's heart was slowly beeping and his body was turning pale. The nurses did a cardiac arrest to revive Yami, but his heart stopped and gave its last beat.
Yugi remembered crying beside his brother as Yami was about to be wrapped. He opened his eyes, which were bloody red and no longer dark violet ones. He never cared that his brother seemed different and his heart wasn't beating when he woke up. All that mattered was that he was alive, never leaving his side. Of course, Yami was extremely hungry and couldn't eat regular food, since it now tasted like dirt to him and made him sick. His hunger lasted for a week and he was once again, nearly dying. Yugi tried everything to keep his brother alive, but nothing seemed to work. Every type of food he was given only made him sicker.
One day, when Yugi bought chicken from a local store, he accidentally spilled blood everywhere on the kitchen floor. Yami went mad and started licking the blood off the floor. That's when Yugi came to realize why his brother was dying. The vampires that attacked them turned his brother into a bloodthirsty vampire. Yugi let Yami have the rest of the blood of the chicken, since it needed to be drained anyways. He also caught a bird from the park to give his brother more blood to drink. In no time, Yami began feeling better than ever before.
Yugi knew his brother needed to live somewhere with gaming hunting ground, so he wouldn't be sick again. Him and Yami sold their stuff and moved to Domino City. It was decided by Yami, who knew he could no longer live in Tokyo anymore. Yugi agreed to this, never wanting to lose Yami, ever!
"Hey Yugi, cheer up!" Yami said, not wanting his brother to think of the past. "I miss Mom and Dad too, but we can't change what happened in the past."
"I suppose," Yugi replied, sighing.
The truck parked beside Domino High and the twins hopped off the truck. Yami walked down the parking lot and entered inside the school. They walked through a long hallway filled with lockers and kids. Everyone stared at them, since they were not wearing their school uniforms. This informed them that Yugi and Yami were the new kids.
Yugi blushed shyly and walked closer beside Yami as they entered the Main Office to sign themselves in and find out their classes and locker number and combination. Their lockers were beside each other, since Yami wanted to be close to Yugi. At least he was safe from any vampires. They wouldn't dare to have their meal in public.
Yugi's and Yami's first period was PE, Yugi's worst activity. Yami, on the other hand, was fairly good at the sport. They sat on the bench in the Boy's Locker Room, since they had no PE clothing yet. The boys were changing into their PE clothes. One blond male happen to walk beside them, getting his shirt on.
"You guys new?" The boy asked.
"Yeah," Yami replied. Yugi just shrugged shyly.
"What's with him?"
"He's shy. His name's Yugi, I'm Yami."
"Name's Joey Wheeler. Nice to meet ya both!"
"Thanks," Yami replied, lifting his head up and showing a friendly smile, but not showing his teeth.
Joey jumped back, and then said, "Whoa. What's with the eyes?"
Yami blushed slightly, and then answered, "Albino."
"Oh," Joey replied, feeling embarrassed. "Sorry. It's just that... never mind."
"It's okay," Yami assured. "Trust me, people freak out alot."
"So why's Yugi normal? You know, since you're... twins?"
"The doctors said that after Yugi and I's separation, there wasn't enough melanin in my skin and eyes, so... you know," Yami lied, shrugging.
"Ah," Joey responded while nodding his head.
A loud whistle blew, making a loud noise in the locker room. The coach shouted, "HEAD FOR THE GYM!"
"Co'mon Yugi," Yami said as Yugi nodded, then followed his brother.
The coach made a role call, then noticed Yugi and Yami. He called them and asked, "You boys new?"
"Yes sir," Yami replied.
"Hm," The coach nodded, then gave the boys a packet. "These are the rules of this class! Since you're new, you have a week to buy you ladies some better clothes! Since we're just going to be jogging around the track, I'll let you both participate!" He glared directly at Yami. "And maybe get you some vitamin D!"
"He's albino, couch!" Joey told the couch.
"Albino huh?" The coach smirked. "Least I know you aren't on drugs!"
Yami glared, not really liking the fact that he was already being judged whether he was taking drugs or not due to his red eyes. In fact, he especially didn't like it, because even druggies only have reddened eyes around the white part while Yami had it in his irises.
Yami and Yugi ran around the track in broad daylight. Yugi ran beside his brother, noticing the pale skin that almost seemed glowing. He began having a thought in his head as he ran closer to beside Yami.
"Do you sparkle?" Yugi asked as Yami gave his brother a dirty look.
"Where the hell did you get that idea?" Yami asked.
"Just a thought."
"That is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. It's even more stupid than vampires burning alive by the sunlight."
Yugi laughed before slipping and falling on the ground. Yami gasped and ran to his brother, who picked himself up. Yugi saw his knee was scraped and bleeding.
"Great!" Yugi complained. Yami looked around before he licked the blood off of Yugi's knee, and then cringed over the taste.
"Ick," Yami responded in disgust before padding Yugi's knee and the bleeding stopped. "There we go."
"You're a lifesaver or my personal band aid," Yugi teased.
"Just be careful. Anyways, we need to catch up to the others," Yami said before taking off on his jog. He was trying to scrape the nasty taste from his tongue while making a smacking sound. He could still taste Yugi's blood. "Ugh, I hate human blood! It sticks to your tongue like glue and tastes like rotten fish!"
"I find that ironic, Yami," Yugi teased with a smirk. "You're a vampire and hate the taste of human blood."
"Duh, it's too salty and strong like alcohol. I feel like I'm drinking salt water with acid."
"That's a first. At least I know you're not gonna drink up the whole school."
"The day I do is the day I come to school in a prom dress."
It wasn't long before lunch came by and Yugi and Yami entered into their Homeroom and moved their desks, so they'd connect. Yami didn't get anything to eat besides a bottle of squirrel blood, which he faked as juice. That was what he brought to drink for lunch. Yugi bought his hot school lunch to eat. He was enjoying his meal.
Joey came and moved his desk beside Yugi and Yami, greeting, "hey guys! Mind if my friends sit here?"
"Sure," Yami replied.
"He said 'yes'!" Joey shouted to his friends.
Two more moved their desks until they made a rectangle table of desks. One of Joey's friends was a brunet girl with bright blue eyes and another was a brown-haired guy with brown eyes. Yugi still felt a tad shy, though the girl did seem very pretty.
"You must be the new guys. Welcome to Domino High!" The guy greeted. "I'm Tristan and this is Tea!"
"Hi!" Tea greeted with her bright smile. Yugi still shied away.
"He'll come around," Yami promised.
"You gonna eat?" Tristan asked.
"I'm good," Yami replied.
'Wow, his eyes are freaky!' Yami heard Tristan think.
'Poor kid. I know what it's like moving to a new place. Though, he does seem cute,' Tea said in her mind.
'His skin's pale too. If I didn't know he was albino, I'd swear he was sick or something,' Tristan thought.
Yami closed his eyes and placed two fingers on his temples. He hated it when a group of people were sitting with him. They were always thinking at once. It always made his head hurt. At least when it's just him and Yugi, he could easily block other people's thoughts and they'd just be background noises. With people around a table, it was hard for Yami to ignore.
'You alright, Yami?' Yami heard Yugi asked. 'Headache?'
Yami nodded, and then sighed.
"Something wrong?" Joey asked.
"Headache," Yami said before giving off a sigh. "Just a small one, it'll go away in a few minutes."
"You sure?" Tea asked worriedly.
"I'm fine!" Yami assured.
"Say, how about you come hang out with us at Burger World?" Tristan invited.
"When?" Yami asked.
"We can plan tomorrow; I have to help babysit Jouji today."
"Cool! I'm sure Yugi would like to go, right?"
"Sure," Yugi muttered while shrugging his shoulders.
"Then it's settled," Joey declared as Yami and Yugi gave small smiles.
