Aqua Girl 007: Anyways, here is the next chapter; I hope you guys enjoy it.
The next day, Yugi looked at himself in the bathroom mirror. Yugi's wearing a black muscle shirt, black pants, a few golden bracelets, and two belts around his waist. Yugi also had a black arm cuff around his arm to match the muscle shirt. Yugi turned to look at the mirror, smiling at himself. He walked out of the bathroom and Yami was standing in the living room.
"Ready for your date?" Yami asked before Yugi nodded. "Do you want to use the truck?"
"No it's fine," Yugi reassured him.
"Trying to be romantic, aren't cha Yugi," Yami teased, nudging his little brother on the shoulder.
"What?" Yugi asked in confusion.
"You know, you want walk her home so you can kiss her," Yami mused, making a kissing face.
"No," Yugi said, flustered. "I just don't want to take her home in a truck that smells like rotten corpse."
Yami rolled his eyes. "Sure that's the reason." Yugi groaned while pink came on his cheeks. Though, Yami was guilty for carrying his food in the truck and sometimes dripping blood. Though, he did try to clean it up the best he could, sometimes it smelled like rotten corpse.
Yami and Yugi got in the truck and drove to the boundary line of the werewolf territory. When Yugi set up his date, he made sure it was around the werewolf territory, since his brother felt uncomfortable with him walking around the streets alone without protection. Yugi was prey to any living vampire around and Yami was not one to take chances. Yugi had to agree on those terms, since he doesn't want to become vampire food.
The truck stopped at a crossroad of what looked to be a downtown area. This was one of the werewolf territories. If Yami was to cross the boundary line, he would find himself dead before he could even say the word. Yugi looked back with a bright smile after jumping off the truck.
"I'll see ya later," Yugi greeted.
"Just remember Yugi, if you plan to do it tonight bring a bag of condoms. I don't want my twin to become a baby daddy!" Yami cried out with a teasy smirk.
Yugi's face turned bright red. Yami laughed. "Relax; I'm only messing with ya. Good luck on the date."
"Thanks," Yugi said, still embarrassed about Yami's comment.
Yugi walked and crossed streets before he came up to the ice cream shop where he said he'd meet Tea. He waited for awhile until he saw Tea coming up towards him. He waved at her as she ran up to his side.
"Hey Yugi. Sorry I took so long," she apologized.
"It's alright. Come on let's go," Yugi said with a smile before they entered the building.
They stood in line for a while until they came up to the counter. A girl about Yugi's age dressed in a striped apron looked out of the stand with a bored expression. "What do you want to order?" she asked in a tone as if she was annoyed with Tea's presence.
"Two chocolate ice cream cones, please," Tea said, while she looked at the menu.
She began to pound buttons on the cash register. "That would be 300 yen."
Tea reached into her pocket and pulled out a few bills. Tea handed the money to her. She opened the register and gave Yugi the necessary change. She then went into the kitchen and came out with two ice cream cones.
Tea and Yugi walked over to a table and sat down at it.
"How do you like it in Domino City?" Tea wondered before she licked her ice-cream cone.
"It's pretty cool so far," Yugi answered.
"I'm wondering, are you and Yami in foster care?" Tea asked before she paused for a moment and waved her hands dismissively. "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"
"Yami and I are officially declared adults by the courts according to Japanese law," Yugi explained before he licked his ice-cream. "That's what happened to my cousin Seto after his step father committed suicide."
Yugi sighed. What he kept hidden was the fact that Seto is a vampire as well, but was bitten long ago by his step father Gozoburro. In fact, he never committed suicide, Seto killed him. However, he only killed out of defence, because his step father was about to have Mokuba for dinner. Seto had been protecting his brother for years, just like Yami is protecting Yugi. After Yami became a vampire, Seto was able to help them out a little financially. They also first met around court when the family's will was being decided. Seto came, since he was family, according to the records, and some money was given to him. Though, they couldn't tell he was a vampire at the time, because instead of having red eyes, Seto had gold eyes. In fact, it was from his help that he and Yami found their home in Domino City with good hunting ground. Seto even helped Yami with his "diet" so to speak.
As Yugi was eating his ice cream, he noticed a group of guys gawking at him and Tea. One of the boys had tan skin with blond hair which fell just above his shoulders. His purple gaze made him even more nervous. Another boy had streak white hair which fell to his shoulders and hard brown gaze. The last had long black hair and deep green eyes. Nervously, Yugi shifted his gaze towards Tea.
"Do you know those guys? They're staring at us funny," Yugi asked, trying to sound calm.
"They go to our school and hang out with Joey's little sister, Serenity. They keep to themselves alot so I don't know much about them." Tea paused for a moment. She seemed reluctant to telling Yugi the whole truth, but figured he deserved to know "The strange thing is that they keep on looking at Joey funny, which really creeps me out. I'm really starting to get worried, especially for Serenity."
"Serenity's probably okay," Yugi tried to comfort her, "those guys don't seem harmful."
"I'm not so sure about that," Tea said before a sigh escaped her lips. "You see, when Joey and Tristan were in middle school they were in a gang. They managed to barley get out of it. The group Serenity hangs out with now reminds Joey of the gang he used to be in."
"Oh," Yugi said with a frown. "I'm sorry about that."
"Yugi, you don't need to apologize for that," Tea reassured him. "It wasn't your fault anyways. I mean you weren't even living here during the time."
Yugi smiled back at her. Then, he noticed the same group of boys gawking at him and Tea. It's really starting to make him feel uncomfortable. He decided to do something about it.
"Hold on," Yugi said before he stood up and walked towards the other group of boys.
"Um... sorry to interrupt," Yugi said nervously before the group of boys looked up, annoyed. "But my friend and I want you to stop staring at us. It's making us feel uncomfortable."
"Look," the blond hair boy growled. "The only reason why we are doing that is because we know what your brother is."
"What?" Yugi said in shock and confusion.
"You're not gonna believe us, but you might as well know..." he said, narrowing his eyes. "Your brother's a vampire. If you want to stay alive, we suggest that you should stay far away from him as possible."
Yugi stared at him dumbfounded. How'd they find out about that? The more Yugi looked in his eyes. They almost seemed...animal like. It dawned on Yugi that these boys were probably the werewolves. It's obvious they would know Yami was a vampire and were probably warning Yugi about it. He nodded, which surprised the boys, probably because they were expecting Yugi to think they were crazy or something.
"I promise my brother isn't like that," Yugi replied before he turned around and headed back to his table. The blond haired boy snorted before going back to doing his own business.
"Yugi is everything alright?" Tea asked worriedly.
Yugi nodded. "The blond guy said that he'll leave us alone. It was just a misunderstanding."
The boys did leave Yugi and Tea alone, but Yugi was still worried. He knew those guys would probably be a threat to his brother Yami. Despite the fact that Yami saw the werewolves as a shield to protect Yugi, Yugi saw them as a threat. Anyone that even thought about harming his brother was one he considered a threat, even if they thought all vampires were evil like the movies. Yugi decided to give it a rest, since his brother wasn't around and it wasn't like these guys were hunting Yami down anyhow.
After their ice cream date, Yugi walked Tea home. She talked about her life, how her and Joey became friends, and all that jazz. Yugi was interested in everything Tea talked about. She also mentioned about some of her old friends: Duke Devlin and Marik Ishtar. There was also a Remu and Ryou Bakura, but they seemed like acquaintances. Though, Tea would pause from time to time about those guys.
"So, what ever happened with Marik and Duke?" Yugi asked.
Tea paused and a frown showed on her face. She replied, "they turned into the boys you saw there. The blond one is Marik and the black-haired one is Duke. They just stopped hanging around me. I'm afraid Joey's gonna turn into them too, to be honest."
"That's weird, why would they just not want to be around you anymore?" Yugi asked, though deep inside, he knew the probable reason.
"I don't know. I tried talking to them, but they just kept pushing me off," Tea replied in an almost weeping tone.
"I'm so sorry. I wish there was something I could do."
"No, it's fine. I'm just afraid Joey will end up the same way. I know it seems silly and they were probably never my friends in the first place, but Serenity also said the same thing. Now, I don't know what's going on with her. She won't talk to me! I thought she was sick, but it's been almost a year and she still hasn't called me. Joey promised he'll talk to her, but she's not even communicating with him. Joey thinks she's depressed, but I don't know."
"Don't worry. Maybe things will work out," Yugi said, trying to cheer his friend up.
"I hope so."
Yugi and Tea stopped next to a house around a curtain neighbourhood. Tea smiled brightly and thanked, "thank you for walking me home. I'm glad I got to spend time with you."
"No problem," Yugi replied before Tea pecked a kiss on his cheek, making him blush.
"I guess I'll see ya tomorrow."
"Yeah, see ya!" Yugi waved before walking back to the street where his brother was to pick him up. He felt awful that the werewolf pack have to separate from their friends like that. Even if one of them did change into a werewolf, why would they just leave their friends? Was it to protect them or something? What about Serenity? There were too many unanswered questions inside Yugi's mind.
Yugi sat on one of the benches next to the boundary line. He noticed, from the corner of his eye, the same group of boys watching him. He shot a glare at them, mostly due to the fact they were a threat to his brother. It should occur to them that if Yami was to have Yugi for dinner, it would've happened already. They hung out everywhere together and they live together. Yugi found it annoying that these guys couldn't figure out that Yami was no threat to him. Then again, Tea did think he was at foster care, maybe these guys thought it too. Still, it seemed stupid in the boy's young mind.
Yami's truck was seen driving down the road and stopped it next to the bench. Yugi smiled as Yami opened the door and swung his arm around his brother's shoulders.
"How was your date? Did you remember to buy the condoms?" Yami asked teasingly as Yugi pushed his brother aside.
"Yami stop!" Yugi snapped.
"Co'mon Yugi, I was just kidding. You know I like messing with ya!"
"Yeah, that's why your truck smells like something from Dawn of the Dead."
Yami rolled his eyes before patting his brother's back. Yugi then whispered in his brother's ear, "heads up, we're being watched by werewolves and they find you number one threat."
Yami turned his head toward the three boys with raised eyebrows, noting the glares, then showed a devious smile asking, "really?"
"Yeah. I feel bad for Tea. Two of them used to be her friends and now they don't hang around her anymore."
"They're also jackasses," Yami smirked, eying at the boys. "Man, you weren't kidding. They really do find me a threat. They think I'm taking you home in my truck and drinking your every flesh and bone."
"Ew," Yugi cringed as Yami chuckled.
"I'm gonna try something," Yami smirked deviously, which Yugi didn't really like.
Yami came behind Yugi, placing two hands on each arm connected to the shoulder blade. Yugi had a bad feeling of what Yami was trying to pull off and he certainly didn't like the idea, especially with the boys grinning with their razor sharp teeth. Yami showed a lustful smirk while trailing his nose across Yugi's shoulder blades, making a loud sniffing and humming sound as if he just smelled his favourite baked cookies fresh from the oven. What really crossed the line was when Yugi felt the tips of Yami's razor sharp teeth on his neck.
Yugi swiftly took a rolled up magazine, from inside of the pickup, and whacked it across Yami's head while shouting, "THAT'S ENOUGH, YAMI!" Yami gawked up laughing while Yugi kept whacking him a few more times with the magazine. "ARE YOU ASKING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED?"
"I can't resist if these guys are thinking too much in me having you for dinner! At least the Remu guy seems to take a joke when he sees one!" Yami smirked. Yugi turned and noticed that the white-haired guy did seem to be chuckling. The blond guy, Marik, seemed to be rolling his eyes. "Marik seems to be taking the joke as well, though he's trying to stick to the mission. Duke took it well too."
"Remu? You mean the other guy is Remu?" Yugi asked in slight shock, though it didn't surprise him that well.
"Yep. He also thinks I'm not bad for a vampire and he kinda likes me. You know, I think I just found my new best friend."
Yugi sighed while rolling his eyes as him and Yami got into the truck. Yami turned the truck around, making it to where his side of the window was rolled down and facing the werewolf boys. He grew a huge dirty smirk, which told Yugi that he was about to do something.
"I'm gonna give Remu a little treat of my own," Yami smirked as he slowly drove the truck and stuck up his middle finger in front of the boys. "YOU OWE REMU 20, MARIK!" He then gawked up laughing again as Yugi rebuked his brother with a glare. "What? I like the guy. I think he deserves to win his bet."
"What bet was it?" Yugi asked.
"That I would flip them off when driving down the road."
