"AAAAAAAAaaaaa!" Yuugi's eyes widen as he fell into a pond from the sky. He quickly sat up with his hair and clothes all drenching in dirty water. "Stupid warp machine…why do I get drop in a pond every time?" He whined and tried to get water out from his ear with his pinky.
Yami landed gracefully on the grass and laughed, "You should have used your wings." He looked around the area and noticed that a castle was sighted on top of a small mountain while Yuugi got out from the pond and complained that he was all sticky. "That must be L's castle."
"Wow! It's so big!" Yuugi's eyes lit up excitedly at the sight.
Yami covered his nose when Yuugi got near him, "Wah! So smelly! You're so smelly!" He cried out at the boy and back away from Yuugi.
"Eh? Smelly? Impossible." Yuugi said with a big cheeky sly smile and took a step towards Yami whose face went pale.
"Don't come near me! Go away!" Yuugi giggled and pounced onto Yami's back who tried to shake the boy off.
"Welcome." Yuugi and Yami stopped what they were doing and stared at a familiar figure that had interrupted them, "I've been waiting for you, Yuugi." J announced. He was all dressed with a fancy suit and he left his silk long purple hair straighten out.
"Where's L? Is he fine?" Yuugi asked worriedly.
J's face was calm as he replied, "He's alright. L is preparing for the party."
Yuugi looked confuse, "Eh? But….but K told me to come and save him…"
"That guy K was angry because he wasn't chosen as the next successor of the clan and was exiled." J explained and shook his head in pity, "That's why he ran to you and said such things….."
"White crow…..please….please save L…" K's painful voice echoes in Yuugi's troubled mind.
J broke his thoughts, "The most important thing is your attire…" Yuugi's embarrassingly stared down at his uniform, "I'll get someone to prepare clothes for you. Please enter the castle."
L's castle….
As they walked down the stairs, Yami suspiciously scanned around the areas, "Why is it so quiet when you're holding a party tonight?" He questioned with doubt, keeping Yuugi close to him.
"We usually move around after the sun sets." J announced, continuing walking.
"Where's L anyway?" Yuugi asked and his face was full on concern. He couldn't be relaxed until he sees his friend was safe first.
"I'm very sorry but you cannot meet him before the party…" J apologized and stopped upon a door, "Please enter." He told them and entered the room. "Please use this room in any way you wish too." The room was like a normal guest room you would have seen at a hotel.
A petite lady appeared next to Yuugi, "Mister, I have prepared your bath for you." She said and Yuugi's eyes widen. The girl in front of him looked like a doll while wearing a maid outfit. She has short blond hair with dark crimson eyes like Yami.
"Wait! I'll come too." Yami interrupted.
Sweats dropped from J's side of the head, "But he's changing…."
"Every time he changes, I must always watch over him." Yami insisted and ignoring Yuugi's blushing face and his 'HEY!'. "Today is no exception."
"Ev….every time?" J awkwardly thought to himself.
"Your relationship is good." The maid giggled, leading Yuugi to the bathroom.
Yuugi's jaw dropped, "N….No, it's isn't like that!" Yuugi cried out in embarrassment and whispered to Yami, "Hey….stop following me!"
"Shh." Yami whispered back and Yuugi blinked his eyes, "Just stay by my side and don't belittle each and every member of the castle that includes J."
A few minutes later, "This still feels weird…" Yuugi mumbled to himself as he was in the bathtub. He watched from the corner of his eyes and he could make out that the maid was talking to Yami who was busily staring at him through the light curtain.
"Why don't you change too?" The maid asked sweetly.
Yami looked uninterested, "I'm not smelly."
"But your outfit sir-"
Yuugi got out of the bathtub as another maid came and helped him dressed up. His ears perked up suddenly, "I'll hold it for you."
"I can do it myself!"
"This is my job."
"Bas…bastard! Stop it…!"
"Are you embarrassed? How cute!"
Yuugi frowned slightly, "What are the two doing?" He asked with an eyebrow rising it up in an accusing way as he made his way out of the bathroom.
"Wow!" The maid squealed, "You look so adorable in that suit!"
Yuugi suddenly grew shy and rubbed the back of his hair, "You think so?" He smiled and looked at Yami to see him smiling back too. Yuugi wore a silky white suit with a purple tie that matches his eye colour. "Yami-" Yuugi tripped from his long trouser and fell flat on his face.
Yami cleared his throat and grinned, "The suit is too long, is there a child size one?" He asked the maid.
Yuugi's face went red, "Yami!" He whined as he got up from the floor and rubbed his poor forehead.
"Ah…." The maid looked out from the window and her eyes looked distant, "The sun is going to set. We should go and start preparing." The other maids nodded their head and they all made their way to the door. "Please wait for a while." She told the two boys and closed the door.
Soon the sky turned dark as night time came in. J appeared in their room, "All preparations are complete. Please follow me to the main hall." Yuugi and Yami followed behind J as he led them through a staircase. They finally arrived at the main hall and Yuugi suddenly felt nervous.
The main hall was filled with hundreds of people in black cloaks and they all looked up when Yuugi and Yami entered the room. The hall was dark and cold with only the flames from the candles giving light and warmth. At the front of the room laid a coffin.
"Please come forward." J said.
Yuugi nodded, "Ah...where is L?"
"He's at the front." J answered back and Yuugi looked puzzle since he didn't not see any sign of L when he scanned the room before. The lid of the coffin unexpectedly open up, Yuugi's head perked up and the rest of the people in the room all turned to the front. Yami frowned and moved closer to Yuugi.
L stepped out from the coffin. He wore a long white shirt along with a black three-quarter pant. A black cape was also wrapped around his neck. "It's great that you have come, Yuugi." He smiled warmly.
Yuugi's eyes lit up to see his friend, "L!" He started running to the boy.
Yami was too late to grab a hold on Yuugi in time, "Hey! Yuugi!" He yelled out.
"It's great that you're fine." Yuugi smiled back as he reached his friend.
L tilted his head to the side looking confuse," Fine?"
Yuugi shook his head, "Umm…err…it's nothing." His smile turned bigger, "Firstly, congratulation on becoming the clan leader."
"Thank-you." L replied back, "This is all because of you."
Yuugi blinked his eyes, "Eh?"
L pulled Yuugi closer to him, "Welcome, my bride."
"YUUGI! GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Yami shouted and Yuugi tried to pull his arms off L's grip. L's mouth twitched into a smile and suddenly couple of arrows shot through Yami's body. Yuugi's gasped and his eyes widen in terror at the sight, "…Yu…." Yami reached his hand out, "Yu….-"He collapsed to the ground.
Yuugi screamed and L let go off the boy as he ran back to the fallen Yami. "Yami! YAMI!" Yuugi held onto Yami and tears fell from his eyes when he saw the pool of blood forming around Yami, "This can't be happening." His body shook, "Yami! Answer me! Answer me!"
A sword pierced through Yami's body, "This lowlife can actually become the demon king?" L laughed, his eyes were cold, "How funny." He dug his sword deeper into Yami.
Yuugi was angry and he pushed L away, "L! What the hell are you doing? Why are you doing this?" He demanded in anger. "L!"
"Who are you calling?" The body of L spoke up.
"Huh?"
"Ah….the name of this body. But he isn't here anymore. I have already absorbed him."
Yuugi was stunned, "If you're not L, then who are you?" He shouted out.
"The name is A. The honorable clan leader of the vampires." A smirked, "I want to take everything away from you, white crow." Three men grabbed a hold of Yuugi who was struggling to break free but it was no use. "Your blood…..everything…." Yuugi cried out, "Bring him to my room."
"Let go of me!" Yuugi struggled, "Yami! Yami!" Tears fell from his eyes seeing Yami lying on the floor like that and he was getting further and further away, "YAMI!"
J knelt next to Yami, staring at the body. "J, I'll leave this corpse to you." A announced.
"Yes."
A started to walk away, "Actually you're very capable J, you didn't betray my trust."
"I'm honoured, uncle."
