Aqua Girl 007: Anyways, here is the next chapter; I hope you guys enjoy it.
When the brothers got out of a department store, Yugi held an inflatable mattress box in one hand and plastic bags filled with cleaning supplies, plastic plates, silverware, and cups in the other. Yami was carrying a couch over his head. Yugi wasn't surprised about his brother's strength. Ever since he turned into a vampire he gained the ability to run at extremely high speeds and super strength. He has grown used to it.
Yami turned his gaze towards a worker, who was staring at him funny. "Oh what, you haven't seen someone carry a couch before?"
The worker stared at him in confusion before he went about his business. Yugi bit his lip about his brother's actions. That only seemed like something only he would do.
Once the brothers reached their truck, Yami tossed the couch into the back beside the mattress with no problem.
"You know Yami; you probably shouldn't be doing that. People are going to think you're the Hulk or something," Yugi warned.
Yami simply smirked at this. "What wrong with that? Maybe I want people to think I'm Bruce Banner."
"Yami!" Yugi rebuked while he quickly threw the bags and the air mattress box into the back of the truck.
"Relax, I was only kidding," Yami reassured him.
Yugi let out a sigh before he opened the passenger door and sat down on the seat. Soon, his brother got into the driver's seat and turned on the vehicle. The drive home didn't take the boys too long. When they got home, Yami parked the vehicle at the front of the building before he got out of it and carried the couch over his head and into the house at lightning speed. Yugi got out of the truck before he got the bags out of the trunk.
When Yugi entered the apartment building, he began to make soup for himself. In an instant, Yami sped out the door, and then returned with a wild boar with huge bite marks. Yugi knew the animals were a public nuisance in Japan because they eat the farmer's crops. Yami dragged the animal into the apartment.
"Yami are you sure that you should have something like that in the apartment?" Yugi wondered.
"It's going to be fine," Yami tried to reassure him. "I'll chop it up and store it in the freezer."
"You know at this rate people are going to think you're a serial killer," Yugi teased as Yami picked up the animal drained the blood into a huge bucket. Yami just stuck out his tongue in response which had fur stick on it. Yugi sighed, knowing his brother was never gonna stop that.
Yami poured in some bear blood to a pot and heated it up on the stove. Yugi groaned. He hated having to smell blood in the house. He knew that without blood, Yami wouldn't be able to live and begin starving again, though that didn't mean Yugi liked it. It fumed up the whole room! It was worse than sauerkraut cooking.
While Yugi was eating his soup, Yami made a huge soup bowl with hot bear blood with some spices and little chunks of bear meat in it. The color of it was weird. It looked like a mix between bright red and black with lighter red chunks. It would make most people puke by the sight of it, but Yugi was very used to this.
Yami ate the blood and chunks like soup and had a cup of water as his drink. Vampires were able to drink water, since they needed water just as bad as other humans. It was something drinkable for any creature. Yugi was thankful there was one type of drink that was normal. There was just too much abnormality in Yami's diet, not that Yugi wanted his brother to die, but the sight of drinking blood was sick and gross.
Yugi finished the last of his food and put his bowl and cup in the sink. Yami also put his dishes in the sink. He also began placing a load of dishes into their new washer and poured a half cup of bleach in it to prevent Yugi from having E-Coli from the blood Yami drank. His body worked differently from Yami's body.
"Come on, we should get going," Yami said, after finishing his meal, looking up at his brother. "The interview starts in only a half an hour."
Yugi nodded. The boys quickly got into the truck again and drove to a restaurant called Burger World. Yami and Yugi both knew that if they were to live on their own, they needed a job and fast. Yugi was a tad nervous about the job interview, since this is the first time he ever had one.
"Is there something wrong?" Yami asked in concern.
"Just worried about this," Yugi replied, turning his nervous gaze towards the window. He stared at the buildings passing by. "I never exactly had a job like this before."
"Yugi," Yami said before his twin turned to look at him. "Everything is going to be fine. You just have to sell yourself and be confident."
Yugi sighed. He knew his brother is right. Maybe he's over thinking this.
"It's a good thing we're legally adults, otherwise we'd never be allowed to work in a place like this outside of school grounds," Yami said with a bright smile to his face.
Once they got to their destination, they hopped out of the vehicle and entered the building. A man came with a welcoming face and a bright smile.
"Hello there boys," the man, who the boys thought was the manager by his clothes, greeted them with a smile.
"Yami," the eldest brother said, shaking the man's hand.
"Yugi," the younger brother said, shaking his hand as well.
"Good to know," he said with a genuine smile. The three of them took a seat at the booth. The manager got out his clipboard with some papers, which the boys guessed were their resumes. There was also an extra paper in the front, which they weren't sure what it was.
"Well, I looked at your resumes and everything seems perfectly fine, I suppose. You seem to have the skills required for working here. How are you with people?"
"I'm very good. We already made three friends since we've moved here, so yeah," Yami replied.
"What he said," Yugi agreed.
"You use cell phones?" The manager asked.
"We haven't bought one yet, but I have used one when our parents were still alive. Though, it's only when we're out with our friends or something," Yami admitted.
"I rarely use cell phones and usually I call Yami or... used to be, my parents," Yugi said, trying to not seem sad.
"I'm sorry about that. Though, we don't allow any cell phones here. We trust when you do buy one that you will not show it at work.
"I understand," Yugi said.
"Also, I want to know if you boys do any drugs?" the manager asked.
"We don't," Yugi replied.
"Good. Drugs will not be tolerated. We've already had issues with our Employees being druggies. One question... what's with the eyes?" The manager asked Yami.
"Albino," Yami replied.
"Uh-huh," the manager nodded. "Okay, just making sure you're not sick or have some sort of disease. That will be all and I will expect you boys to be here first thing tomorrow!"
"Thanks," Yugi said with a smile, grateful to get the new job.
"We'll give you boys the restaurant uniform on your first day on the job," the man added.
"Okay," Yami replied before the boys left the room.
"That didn't go too bad," Yami started off the conversation. "I didn't expect us to get a job on the first try."
"Same here," Yugi answered as opened the front door and held the door open for his brother. Yami walked outside and Yugi let it shut behind him. The brothers got into the truck and drove home once again. Yugi was happy he and Yami got the job. Maybe living in Domino City isn't going to that bad after all.
Yami drove on his way back home. On the way, Yugi picked up a map of Domino City. It was important to have that map for his and Yami's protection. There was another reason Yami chose Domino City as their home besides the new hunting ground. It was also safer for Yugi to be around curtain areas on his own without worrying about man-eating vampires. Yami would never forgive himself if anything happened to Yugi.
The boys finally arrived home and Yami laid down the map of Domino City across the table. He took a black permanent marker and drew an outline around curtain neighbourhoods and other major parts of Domino City. Yami furrowed his eyebrows, then motioned his finger for Yugi to come to his direction. He stood behind his brother and saw the outline circle around curtain parts of Domino City.
"I circled the places you can go on your own. These are werewolf territories," Yami explained to Yugi as he rose two eyebrows. "You'll be safer with them. They hunt vampires and kill them at first sight. It's death bed for me, but safer for you from other vamps. You can hang out around those places with your friends and junk if you ever want to be on your own for a while." A smile appeared on Yami's lips.
"Yami, I don't mind spending time with you. You don't have to do this," Yugi assured.
"I know, but..." Yami said before a sigh left his lips. "I just want you to have a little freedom and be safe." He put his hand on Yugi's shoulder. "I don't want anything to happen to you. You're the only family I've got left."
"Thanks Yami," Yugi thanked his brother before giving him a hug and holding him tight. "I love you so much."
"I love you too, Yugi," Yami replied, holding his brother tightly, but not too tight. He didn't want his newfound strength to crush him.
After they parted, Yugi dug into his pocket and got a pack of UNO cards and asked, "UNO?"
"You bet," Yami replied. Him and Yugi played UNO for a while.
They played several rounds of UNO before brushing their teeth and heading for bed. Yami and Yugi blew up their mattresses and put on new sheets and blankets on them. They felt really comfortable to sleep on and it was very cheap to buy. Yugi was glad him and his brother bought new furniture and supplies. It was especially important to buy the cleaning supplies for when Yami came home with food and having to wipe the blood.
Yugi felt Yami's hand on his own. It felt so cold... lifeless... yet the face it was connected to seemed so full of life. Yugi smiled warmly as he felt Yami's thumb rub against his hand.
"Goodnight Yugi," Yami whispered.
"Night Yami," Yugi replied before he closed his eyes and drifted off to his dreamworld.
