Notice: This story (even though it kind of did . . Shuush don't tell on me!) won't just jump into the action, kind of prolongs, but hey, that's just how I write, sorry D: *NOTICE! THERE WILL BE CHARACTER DEATH!* Now onwards with the story!
And in that moment, I actually thought things would be okay.
Yugi's POV
I woke up to muffled voices outside. I tried to sit up, but I felt something around my waist holding me down. Panicking, I looked at my waist to see strong arms holding me in back. Right then and there is when I noticed the warm breath down my neck, the warm presence on my back. A cold chill went through my body as I felt my cheek heat up with embarrassment.
I tried to wiggle free of Yami's hold before he woke up. This only seemed to worsen the situation. The hold tightened, and I caught a mumble from behind.
"Five more minutes…" Yami muttered, still asleep? Or maybe just half awake. I wasn't so sure. So… I tried talking.
"Yami... Come on, let go already. People are already up." I complained, continuing my struggles to get free even if they woke up the man behind me. Yami pulled me closer and snuggled into my back.
"Noo," He protested right back, "I'm too comfy to get up.." That did it.
"Yami, get your fat lazy pedophile ass up. Now." I demanded, which got his attention. He quickly let go of me and sat up. As soon as he let go of me, I sprang onto my feet, looking towards the door. I looked back at Yami… To find him going back to sleep.
"Screw this." I decided as I opened the barn door and closed it behind me. "Might as well explore while the pedo's away." I smiled a bit at that.
Looking around, I saw some new faces. There seemed to be what looked like a family of three, walking around the premises of the farm land, coming closer to the barn. I looked around nervously, not really good with people. The only people I was used to where the ones who picked on me at school and Anzu… who was just a bitch.
I grinned at finally being able to get that off my chest. The grin faded though, when I heard arguing voices, coming from the two adults. As the grew closer, I caught pieces of the argument.
"—fucking CARE that you have a jet, if you haven't fucking noticed, the end of the world is kind of happe—"
"Yes, pet, I indeed noticed. What I'm trying to say though, I could fly us somewhere saf—"
"Ya actually BELIEVE there's somewhere SAFE here? Take a loo—"
"Yes. I know. We've established th—Mokuba! Don't just run off!"
I was surprised when I saw the small figure running towards me. I kept my head down, hoping he'd just be trying to get into the barn. But of course, he just stopped right in front of me.
"Hi! I'm Mokuba! What's your name?" He asked eagerly, and I gave him a look of confusion.
"Yugi..?" I answered, but even to myself, it sounded like a question. This guy, Mokuba, laughed at this and I felt embarrassment seep into my cheeks. But lucky for me, Mokuba didn't seem to mind.
"Well, glad there's another kid here! Finally, somebody here my age I can play with!" He laughs at his own statement and I could only frown.
"I'll have you know that I'm 15 years old!" I groaned out. Because of my height, it did look as though I was just a kid. And it was annoying being mistaken as one all the time! But he looked completely shocked, and I noticed that the two other figures where quickly catching up. I looked back at Mokuba, to see his jaw dropped in amazement.
"You're HOW old?!"
"Now, Mokie, that isn't nice to ask that with such a face!" The shorter of the two adults said. The other just made an annoyed sound, but I was glad to see they weren't arguing. This man had golden hair, and gently honey-brown eyes. He was slightly tan, but not so much it stoke out. He has a plain white shirt on, but anybody could tell it was in desperate need of a wash. Same does with the jeans he was wearing: caked in mud and who-knows-what. He gave me a reassuring smile, before turning back to the sputtering Mokuba. While they talked, I got a good look at the other man. He had brown hair, obviously well kept, as long as the other clothes he was wearing. He wore a black shirt, mostly covered in a white flashy jacket. He has black pants on, mostly covered in what looked like hooker boots. I wouldn't dare tell him that, with the look of impending doom he was giving me.
"But he's 15 years old!" Mokuba's voice pulled me back to the reason they were over here, and I noticed how the blond looked as shocked as the child did when I first told him.
"He's HOW old?!"
Enough was enough.
"Hey! It's not like I'm THAT short!" I complained as the pair gawked at me. I shifted, feeling a bit uncomfortable with this. But lucky for me, the man with the brown hair stepped in, drawing the attention back on him.
"Does it matter what his height is? He's still meaningless, no matter the size. I'll be talking to Bakura if you need me." He gave one last look at the blonde, before he turned; making his jacket do a dramatic flip, and stalked off, back towards the house. When he was out of sight, I left out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. "He seemed to be in a bad mood." I commented, only to receive an annoyed grunt for an answer.
"He's always like that towards new people. Don't let that get to you. I'm Joey, and you've already met this squirt here Mokuba. And that di—guy who was just here's name is Seto. Try not to get on his bad-side, okay? But if you accidently do, I'll protect ya." He was talking to me like we were best buds, and I smiled a bit. It was good to have people like this around.
"So pal, what's your name? Ya here alone?" I shook my head, thinking back on what Yami had called me.
"My name's Yugi, and no, I'm not here alone. I came last night with my big brother Yami. He's asleep in the barn."
"Well, this is no time to be sleepin' around! You and Mokie go off and play; I'll wake him up." Joey declares, ruffling my hair slightly and I smiled.
'I think I'm going to be right at home here,' I thought, as I allowed Mokuba to drag me away from the barn and just continued letting that motor mouth run.
Yami's POV
"Wake up sleepy head. This is no time ta be sleepin' around!" I heard a voice bumping me out of my thoughts. I opened my eyes to me a blurred mass of just blond. I groaned and sat up, clearly not used to waking up this early.
I stretched and looked beside me, to see Yugi not there. Panicked, I turned towards the mass of blond to have my vision clear and see a man that looked around my age.
He had blond hair that seemed to jet in front of his face; it with product or without, I don't know. He had gentle honey-brown eyes, that had a teasing glint in them. Standing, He certainly looked like he'd been busy. I realized I'd been just staring and quickly looked away. Hearing a laugh, though, I turned back to meet the amused face.
"Guess it doesn't do much ta freak you out. Ya lil brother's safe. He's playing with my kid." He explains, and I relaxed a bit. 'Oh Yugi, of course you'd be playing around.'
"I'm Joey," he says sticking his hand out at me, "it's nice to meetcha Yami. And don't go about getting freaked out again, Yugi told me." I nodded again, not sure what to say. This man was just acting too friendly; I was growing a bit suspicious. But the man's kind smile wiped away any suspicion when he asked how hungry I was. When I replied, 'hungry as a mule', He laughed and I knew this was the beginning of a budding relationship.
A little later, after I hate some breakfast, I decided to look around. I saw that the farm was indeed a beautiful place. The farm house had been a beautiful shade of sky blue, and the barn itself was, of course, red and white. The entire place seemed homey enough, and I knew Yugi liked the people here too. He'd become friends with almost everybody, but except this prick in the expensive clothes. I don't know what it was but I instantly didn't like this guy.
I was walking around when I say Ryou cutting wood, with Mokuba on the back of the tracker. He was pretending he was driving, and giving order to Ryou, who only smiled at him and continued doing his work. Curious, I walked over to him. When he noticed me, he stood.
"Moring Yami. Hope the barn was to your liking." He starts pleasantly, and I smile. This kid seemed awful sweet, just like Yugi. I nodded and smiled a bit, "Yeah, I like a little fresh barn smell in the morning. It helps me think." I got a laugh and then decided to bring up the reason I'd come over in the first place. "What are you up to?"
He looks at me for a moment and goes back to cutting his wood. I think he's just ignoring me now and I turn to leave, but he finally speaks, soft and quiet but speaks none the less.
"You saw how bad it was getting out there, Yami. This bard, it's worth protecting… You know? It's home and I'm going to protect it with all I've got; even if Bakura doesn't agree with me."
I blinked at the strong will this one had, and I could only be amazed. He seemed so gentle, but he also seemed deadly if you mess with him. I found myself volunteering to help cut some wood, and he gladly handed me the saw. As I was cutting, he started hammering away. It was a comfortable silence, I guess it was only one-sided.
"So Yami, have any other family? Kids maybe?" He asked, and I didn't feel like he was prying so I opened up a bit, nervous but deciding to tell him what was necessary so it wasn't entirely a lie.
"Yugi's my little brother, and I'd be lost without him. Mentally and mostly likely physically too. No kids, always wanted them though. How's life on the farm?"
"It's nice, actually; being out here, away from everything. It's peaceful and we're doing just fine, though I'd like to see more kid like Yugi and Mokuba running around." He smiled softly, and I knew he'd make a great dad, and I didn't hesitate to tell him so.
"You'd be a wonderful dad, you know?"
"You think so?"
"No, I know so." We smiled at each other and that's when he said something totally unexpected to me.
"Have you ever had to kill somebody?"
"Why do you ask that all of a sudden?"
He shrugged, "I guess because… I don't think I could do it, you know? Dead or undead, doesn't matter."
I was about to reply but a swift movement caught my eye. I turned and saw Bakura, just watching us, leaning against the door of the barn. We made eye contact and he swiftly just walked inside, slamming the door shut, causing Mokuba to jump. I slightly glared at the door and heard a sigh, turning to see it came from Ryou.
"Can you please go talk to him? I think I have enough wood for now, thanks!" I nodded and put down the saw and walked… er… limped over to the barn. I saw Bakura hard at work, stabbing the hay with a pitched fork. I swallowed hard and limped inside, keeping the door wide open in case things went bad. And with the way he's trying to kill the hay pile… I think it's not such a bad idea.
"What do you want?" I asked, trying to come off approachable but I only saw him roll his eyes and jam his pitched fork into the hay. One look and him and I just knew one wrong word would be my last.
"If you didn't look so goddamn familiar, we wouldn't have a problem! But this bloke came in here not too long ago, he looked exactly like you, except his was tan. You want to explain to me how convenient that is?"
I blinked, and thinking back on it, there was only one person who I knew that fit that description, but then again, he died over 5 years ago.. Most have been a double-gainer, and I don't hesitate to tell him so.
"No, I don't know anybody who looks like me exact maybe Yugi, and that's only in the slightest bit. It could have been a double-gainer, you know." I saw Bakura studying my words, and was about to reply, probably with some snide comment, but was interrupted when a loud scream ripped through the air. We both made eye contact, his eyes saying this wasn't finished, mine telling him we were, and we both ran outside to be greeted by the most horrifying sight: Ryou, trapped under the tractor, Mokuba trying to steer it off him. But that wasn't all. There were those dead things, grabbing at them both. I heard Bakura yell about getting a shot gun, but I ran over to the tractor and tried to think of the one that needed the most help. Everything seemed to slow, and I heard my heard drumming in the ears. I ran towards Mokuba, grabbing him quickly and tossing him in the arm of Joey, who had ran right behind me. Then I ran over to Ryou, trying to push the tractor off of him, to no aveal. I was looking around for something to hit those dead monsters when the somewhat homemade gate Ryou made snapped, and all those dead things fell on him, ripping him apart. That was when I head the shotgun, and soon the dead things where no more, being skillfully shot in the head. Bakura swiftly ran past me, shoving the gun into my arms and carefully cradling Ryou.
"Ba-Baku-Bakura," Ryou tried, coughing up some blood, "Ba-Bakura… h-he… he tried t-to sav-save m-me…"
"I know, I saw everything, don't worry, you're going to be fine, just stay awake for me, Ryou, baby. Ryou?"
"B-Bakura…. I lo-love you." Ryou gasped out. He was smiling at Bakura, and reaching for his face. Distraught, Bakura grabbed his hand and held it to his cheek, and I was tell he was trying hard not to cry. Soon, Ryou too his last breathe, and everything was quiet. I could feel the sadness and rage radiating off this man. He gently laid Ryou down, and turned toward us, growling while he did so.
"There are FIVE of you HERE! And only ONE of you tried to fucking HELP!" He was ragging, and I know he was just lost in the grief. But that didn't stop most of the words from being true.
"I want you ALL out of here! NOW!" Nobody moved, and I saw Mokuba grab onto Joey tighter, and then I felt all the rage start to be directed towards me.
"Why didn't you save him?!" He questioned me, and I thought long and hard about my answer. Or just an answer that would somewhat calm this man down.
"I did all I could… I thought I could save them both."
"YEAh? Well guess what?!" He was shouting again, his voice craking under the strain of keeping back the tears. "THEIR boy gets to life, but MY INNOCENT RYOU HAD TO FUCKING DIE!" HE was taking deep breathes, and nobody spoke. I felt a hand grab onto my shirt, and I saw Yugi, looking sorrowfully at Ryou's dead body. Bakura seemed to get his emotions under control and glared at everybody.
" . . .NOW."
I heard footsteps come behind me, and I slowly turned, to see a sorrowful Joey.
"If you need a ride… Well… You've got one…" I nodded and wrapped an arm around Yugi, and we both started to walk away. Away from the disaster we'd just made. Away from the now softly heard sniffs we heard behind us. Away from the blood, away from the first place since this mess that had somewhat felt like home. I knew it was too good to be true. And I knew it was only a matter of time before we'd get kicked out. I just didn't expect it to because of an innocent life. An innocent life that shouldn't have been taken. I sighed and pulled Yugi closer to myself. No matter what happened to us next, I'd make sure he got out of this alive.
Even it if means taking my own life.
Hey there! OMG THAT WAS DARK! Sorry if I made anybody cry, but POOR RYOU! It took forever since I didn't want to write about his death…. But it needed to happen… Forgive me v.v
New things are unfolded in this chapter: Who's the double-gainer? Is this the last of him? Where are they going to go now? Will Yami ever win Yugi's heart?
