Youngbountygirl: Hey! I edited some things. Other than that, this was all Aqua. She had trouble with some parts and there's also the finals lol. I know that's a pain in the butt. Anyways enjoy!
Aqua girl 007: I'm sorry this took so long. I was having trouble with parts of this and it didn't help much that I had a ton of school work and my own stories worry about too. But anyways, here's the next chapter. Also Youngbountygirl wrote the ending of this too.
After the school day was done, Yami heard the bell ring and walled out of his classroom while Joey walked beside him. He and Yugi weren't in the same class this period. But he was going to meet him outside of the school to drive him home. Yugi was still not safe on his own with the possibility of vampires showing up like yesterday.
"Yami!" Yami heard a male voice call out. He whirled around to see the blond man from the day before standing behind him. "Can I speak to you in private?"
"Do you know this guy?" Joey whispered in Yami's ear, looking at the man from the corner of his eye.
"Sorta," Yami said, not wanting to give too much away. Yami let out a sigh. "I'll meet up with ya later."
Joey narrowed his eyes, slightly glaring. He didn't trust the stranger, but he knew Yami is able to handle things on his own. Joey decided to let Yami take care of this guy and nodded.
"Alright, I'll see ya later," Joey said before he started to walk away. 'I don't like this guy. I'm sure Yami can take care of himself. I hope he doesn't end up in a fight.'
Yami and the blond stranger walked outside beside the gym, which was empty and nobody could be found here, seeing that there was no PE this period. He began wondering how this guy was able to be allowed to walk in school. Then again, he probably used his speeding powers and blended in the crowd. Still, Yami was thinking, 'you'd think people would notice a huge muscular guy in his thirties walking around the school and call the school office.'
"Alright, what the hell do you want?" Yami demanded with his arms folded.
"Look, I'm sorry about what happen yesterday," Raphael apologized before a sigh escaped him. "We tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen to us."
Yami didn't trust this man. After all, one of his "friends" tried to kill his brother yesterday! Though, he did notice this guy and two of the other guys in the group try to stop the vampire who tried to hurt Yugi. Still, Yami held his ground. He needed answers of why this guy was here in the first place.
"Why did you come here anyways?" Yami questioned, wanting to cut straight to the point.
"You might've heard already. But someone is trying to create an army of vampires by changing people in this and other cities."
"I heard," Yami said before he narrowed his eyes. "Why are you telling me this?"
He folded his arms. "Normally I wouldn't give a shit. But my friend Alistair lost his brother, who was close to him and he wouldn't want to see a fellow vampire suffer like he did."
Yami still didn't trust this man. Though, he was shocked that this man would tell him this, because it seemed so personal. It made sense that these people probably did feel sympathy for Yami, since Yugi was the only family he had left, not counting Seto. Yami saw who this Alistar was when Raphiel began thinking over the event that happened last night. It seemed the red-haired vampire had some sort of soft side for Yugi, seeing that he reminded him somewhat of his own little brother. Yami was sure, at this point, this guy was not planning on doing any harm to anyone, especially since this was a public school.
"Alright, what is this man planning?"
"Dartz is trying to create an army of vampires by turning as many humans into vampires as he can. He's planning on wiping most of Japan."
"Why?" Yami questioned.
"He's trying to rid the world of werewolves, since they're of an annoyance to their hunt and several of our loved ones have been killed by them."
"The only reason they did that is because your prey is one with human flesh! Plus, they spared my life for protecting Yugi!" Yami snapped.
"All I know is if your brother isn't taken to safety, then he'll be dead or a vampire!" With that, the vampire walked away.
Yami stood there, trying to take this all in. He knew the vampires were spreading, but he had no idea that this was some sort of plot created by one person. Sometimes it was common for a vampire to create a vampire and think his or her creation was already dead or just didn't care. The VPS never allowed any vampire to leave his or her creation out alone to run a muck and would dive in to stop the spread.
Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. The vampire spread was an organized plot that was meant to make the werewolves extinct. That would mean Joey was in danger as well. Yami knew he would need a friend to be with him when the change was complete. Joey already felt abandoned by his family and a few of his former friends. There was also Tea, who was clueless about the whole situation.
Yami reached into his pocket and grabbed his cell phone. He dialled Seto number before he put it by his ear. Maybe Seto knew what to do about this.
"Hello?" he heard Seto ask on the other line after a few moments.
"It's Yami. Can I talk you about something?" Yami asked.
Seto groaned on the other line. "Alright, this better be important. I don't have time for small talk. I've got a company to run."
"I got news from another vampire telling me that someone named Dartz is responsible for turning people to create a vampire army."
"Don't worry," Seto assured his cousin. "My men are already taking care of these guys and protecting Domino City. It still explains the rampaging of vampires. I might need help if you're talking a vampire Hitler or something."
"What do you need help with?"
"I need you to come to my house soon as possible so we can take on these bastards. Plus, I want another vampire to help defend my little brother as well."
Yami didn't want to abandon Yugi! That was his brother and the only family member that was still human. Yami couldn't take Yugi with him, because Joey was still in his changing stage and needed a friend with him. Yami also wanted Yugi protected and Domino City had a werewolf territory where he could be protected. Yami felt a huge lump in his throat. Seto needed him right now and if he stayed with his brother, the VPS could easily kill him for sure, since Yugi was not prey.
Yami let out a sigh. "Alright, I'll go there soon as possible," Yami said before he hung up and he walked outside to the meeting place.
Yugi waved to his brother, then noticed something was bugging him. Yami decided it was time to break it to Yugi, even though it would probably hurt.
"Yami what's wrong?" Yugi asked, walking beside him.
Yami paused. He really didn't want to do this, but had no other choice.
"Yugi," Yami said, and his voice was shaking. Yugi rose two eyebrows and seemed awfully worried. "Seto told me that he needs help with taking down the vampires. I got word that these spread of vampires are being done by one person, who's trying to kill off the werewolves. I have to go to Seto's place very soon to help stop this."
"Alright, when are we going there?" Yugi asked.
Yami shifted his gaze away. "That's the thing Yugi, I have to go alone."
"What?" Yugi said in shock. Yami had never gone anywhere without Yugi before!
"Yugi," Yami said, trying his hardest not to cry, "I know this is hard for the both of us, but the vampire army is getting out of control. And if they find me with you, they could kill you off easily and Joey's changing into a werewolf. He will need a friend who cares about him to keep him under control, who's familiar with the werewolf and vampire stuff. Not to mention if the VPS find you with me still human, they could kill or change you. I'm not gonna let that happen! I'm sorry."
Yugi paused. He knows his brother is right. If they are together, the other vampires will have a better advantage to hunting him down. Besides that, Joey needs someone to be there for him. Yugi had to be there for Joey when the change happened, so he wouldn't feel alone and left out. Still, that doesn't make this situation any easier on him. Yami was Yugi's brother and closer than a best friend.
Yugi nodded, trying to stay strong.
"Alight," Yugi said before he clung onto his brother. Tears were leaking from Yugi's eyes."Just promise me that you'll be alright!"
"I will," Yami promised, trying not to cry. He held onto Yugi, making his sent smell less horrible. "Promise me you won't do anything stupid."
Yugi simply nodded at this. Nothing mattered to him. He just wanted to hold Yami a little bit longer before they departed from each other. Yugi wished in his heart that Yami wouldn't have to leave and that they would always be together. Though, some wishes weren't meant to be granted. Yugi hoped that he would one day see his brother again.
