"But Yugi, if I'm not joking around… How else will I stay sane?"
Yugi's POV
I turned towards Yami with a raised eyebrow and looks at him. I then noticed his hurt leg and my eyes widened in surprise.
"You're hurt… How did that happen, pedo?" I questioned him again, raising an eyebrow but slowly walking towards him.
He shook his head and looked around.
"I'll tell you at another time, young one. Now, I think we should travel by day… the noise we made may attract more of those… things."
"You mean the noise you made when you—"
"Alright fine; the noise I made." He sighed dramatically. I had to hide a laugh; sure he was a pedo, but he knew how to lighten the mood… and I sure as hell needed that right now. I allowed Yami to use me as something like a human crunch. He smiled gratefully at this and we made it over to the gate that opened to the road. That's when I saw two other people working on what appeared to be pushing cars out of the way. One of the two looked over and panic flooded his eyes.
"Hey! Don't shoot! We're not one of them!" He explained quickly. Yami only grunted and nodded, opening the gate and limping over to them. I nervously followed his lead.
"What seems to be the problem?" Yami asked, looking at what they were doing. The one that spoke before answered.
"We got in a little jam, fellows. Do you mind helping us out before those beastly creatures come back?" I noticed the accent right away and looked at Yami, who ignored the accent and nodded.
"Sure, we can help. I'm Yami, this is Yugi."
"I'm Ryou, and my chap here is Marik."
Hearing his name, the other man turned around and nodded at Yami, who nodded back. The three of them then engaged in a conversation, and I got a good look at the two new people. The one who was named Ryou had pure as snow white hair and extremely pale skin, which brought out his gentle brown eyes. He was wearing a yellow sweater over what looked like a green collared shirt with jeans. His friend, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. He had dirty blonde hair and was extremely tan. He wore a purple half shirt and golden (where those actually gold..?) brackets on his wrists and forearms. He wore golden earrings and black pants held up with a belt. What I thought was strange was the kole eye liner that framed his eyes purple eyes. Marik noticed me and look at Yami.
"Who's this here?" He asked, eyeing me a bit. I felt uncomfortable with the sudden attention, and remained silent. Yami thought for a moment and answered, "This is my little brother, Yugi."
'Little brother…?' At least he didn't anything weird..' I thought as I looked up at Yami would smiles and winked at me.
'Oh brother…'
"Damnit! I hate being out in the open like this!" Marik cursed and started trying to push the car that was in the way. Yami raised an eyebrow at him then looked around.
Ryou crouched down to my level, and I frowned slightly. I hated it when people treated me like a kid, but I remained silent.
"Well, it's certainly nice to meet you, Yugi! I'm Ryou and that's my friend over there, Marik," He scooted a bit closer and whispered, "he may look scary but he's actually really nice! Now Yami," he says, standing up and turning away from me then back towards Yami, "If you can help us out with clearing the way, we can give and your little brother a lift." Yami nodded but then looked over at me.
"Yugi, what do you want to do?" I was surprised by this but then it clicked; what if Grandpa came back and I wasn't there? How would I see him again?
"I…-!" I was interrupted by the sounds of inhuman noises. I looked over to see those… horrible THINGS coming our way.
"Shit, those monsters are coming. We've got to go, now." Marik hissed as tried again to push the car out of the way. Yami limped over to him and began to help. I froze in fear. I tried to calm myself and saw that Ryou was now trying to help push the car that was in the way out of the way. Swallowing the terror for now, I ran over to them and tried to help the best I could. With our combined efforts, we were able to get the car out of the way. Saw Ryou run to what must have been their car and jump in the driver's spot. I then felt arms wrap around me and hurriedly toss me in the car. Ryou caught me and looked behind them. Marik jumped in the back of the truck. I looked over to see Yami sitting next to me, arms still wrapped around me. I hated to admit it, but I felt safe.
"Step on it!" Marik ordered, glaring at those monsters who had now smelled us and now making their way over. Ryou punched it, and we were speeding down the road. I sighed and looked over at Yami, who was looking straight ahead. I felt my eyes get heavy and subconsciously leaned into Yami and let myself drift into a much needed rest.
Yami's POV
I felt the Little One stir next to me and I glanced over to see him asleep. 'Oh I so wish I had a camera.' I thought with a small laugh. He looked peaceful sleeping, unlike when I see him awake. Which is usually him looking like he'd kick my ass if I step out of line. I laughed under my breath at the thought of Yugi trying to kick anybody's ass.
"Well somebody's in high spirits." Marik smirked, having opened the small window that connected the back part of the truck to the driving part. "You know, for the end of the fucking world."
"Just having some funny thoughts are all, Marik. Can you climb through that window?"
"You're asking me to squeeze my body through that little window? Not happening." I turned around and for the first time actually saw the size of the window. He was right; the window was about the size of his head. No way he'd fit his body through that. Marik glared at me. "And I wanted the window seat."
"Quit complaining, Marik. We're almost there." Ryou commanded as he continued driving, glancing over at Yugi and eyes softening a bit.
"He's been through a lot, hasn't he?" I noticed it wasn't a question. I looked down at Yugi again and resisted the urge to hold him.
"Yeah, I left to visit a friend, and when I was able to come back I found him in the tree house... I don't know how long he was up there."
Ryou nodded, and didn't say anything else. I didn't know if he saw through my lie or what, but he respectfully didn't push the matter further.
We pulled up to the driveway and Ryou cut the gas. Yugi was jolted awake and yawned, rubbing his eyes. I smirked and carried him out of the car. Marik moved from the back of the truck to take Ryou's place."
"Thank you very much for the ride, Marik." Ryou said, hugging his friend. Marik's eyes softened a tad.
"Remember what my sister said. Please be careful."
"Of course! Plus I've got Bakura to protect me. We'll both be here by tomorrow, so don't worry about it." Ryou chuckled humorlessly. Yami raised an eyebrow at this and looked at Ryou, who was choosing to look at Marik instead. Said boy decided to take his word for it and grudgingly got in the front seat of the truck and slowly backed out. I noticed that maybe he came off a little cold, but he certainly did care for his friends. Ryou finally took a deep breath and looked at me.
"Let's get you and Bakura approachable, alright? He doesn't take kindly to strangers. But I'm sure he'll like you!" Ryou swiftly reassured me. I nodded my thanks and glanced at Yugi again. Honestly, I worried for his safety.
"U-Uh… Yami?" A small voice drew my attention towards the source of my thoughts. Yugi looked slightly uncomfortable and began fidgeting.
"What's wrong Yugi?" I asked, thinking that maybe he'd been hurt somehow.
"N-Nothing's wrong but could you… please put me down?" He asked, blushing slightly and pushing me away by my chest. I chuckled slightly and did what was asked and the young boy stretched. Ryou then grunted to get my attention and nodded towards the house.
I allowed myself to be lead towards the farm house. It was a nice pale blue was dark roof. I couldn't see much of the details since it was now nightfall, so I decided I'd get a better look at it in the morning. We walked over to the porch, and Yugi had to help me up the steps. Not that I complained or anything. The screen door opened and a man who almost looked exactly like Ryou came outside. He walked over to Ryou and kissed him.
"You were alright? Didn't run into any trouble?"
Ryou shook his head and smiles up at Bakura. "It's so sweet of your to worry, but no, we didn't have any trouble. We had a close run in, but that's it, love."
Bakura nodded, taking in the knowledge, and held onto Ryou possessively while he glared at me.
"So who's this?" He questioned, looking like he wasn't going to let go of Ryou for a second. I decided I'd try to stay on his good side.
"I'm Yami, and this is my little brother Yugi." I introduced us. Yugi happened to be hiding behind me, of all people, and I it was slightly flattering. He poked his head out and waved at Bakura, whose eyes had softened slightly.
"Hi…" Yugi tried, a bit nervous. I remembered how shy he was, making him seem even younger than he actually was. Most, including myself, found it adorable.
"Hello boy, my name's Bakura. Now I noticed," he stated, looking at my leg, "your little problem there. Would you mind if I took a look?" I shook my head and was lead to a bench on the porch. Bakura sat on a wooden box in front of me and started to work on my leg. It hurt, but I toughed it out.
"You gonna tell me how this happened?" He asked, and I couldn't tell if he wanted to make conversation or what. Thinking back on the past events, the flashbacks, I decided to not fully tell the truth.
"Car crash."
"Car crash? Must've been some ride." He joked and chuckled under his breath. I didn't think it was that funny, and after glancing over at Yugi, his face showed that he didn't think so either. But not wanting to be on his bad side, I just answered with a simple yes.
Bakura stood up and looked at his work. "Well, we'll see how it is tomorrow, but right now I'd say rest up. Hopefully you didn't get it infected." He said, his face blank as he looked me in the eye. I gulped.
"What would happen if it got infected…?"
"Well, we'd have to cut it clean off." He stated, face still blank, tone sounding completely serious. I felt myself stiffen and slowly nod. That's when I first saw Bakura laugh.
"I'm just teasing, we'll put some healing stuff on it and rewrap it." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. Yugi just shook his head and yawned, stretching a bit. Bakura caught the action and his eyes softened a bit.
"I'm sorry, we've already got a family living downstairs, but you're welcomed to sleep in the barn."
Yugi looked at me and nodded slightly, too tired to care where he slept. I looked at Bakura and nodded.
"Please lead the way."
After a good amount of walking, we made it to the barn. Bakura had sleeping bags for us and handed one to me and rolled out the other one for Yugi. Yugi nodded his thanks as I rolled mine out next to his.
"Well, I'll wake you up in the morning. For now, rest. Goodnight." Bakura stated as he left, closing the barn doors behind him. I heard Yugi stir next to me and turned on my side to face him. The barn wasn't well lit, and I could barely make out his figure. I was straining my eyes when I heard a sniff. Surprised, I sat up a bit.
"Yugi…?"
"S-Sorry… It smells bad in here."
I chuckled at this. "It's called manure, it's usual for barns."
"I-I knew th-that, Ya-Yami… Will I even s-see my gran-grandpa again?" He asked, and I knew he needed some reassurance. I nodded, whether or not he could see me. "Yeah, I'm sure you will. And I'm sure that he's okay." I saw Yugi nod and I smiled.
"Now let's get some sleep." I suggested, as I rolled on my back and closed my eyes. And in that moment, I actually thought things would be okay.
