[YGO] In Love with a Killer(DISCONTINUED)

Caught or Nought?

Last time on In Love with a Killer:

Yami took a final glance at the still man and smiled at another job well done. He then slipped out of the room and headed for the window. Suddenly though, the front door doorknob started to turn like someone was about to come in...

Chapter Two: Caught or Nought?

Yami whipped his head in the direction of the door as it was about to open. His instincts then kicked in and he dove behind the nearby couch. He was just in time as right after he hid, two teenagers wearing Domino High School uniforms walked into the apartment and turned the lights on. He blew a quiet sigh of relief and peeked out behind the couch to see two young men, the first he recognized as Joseph Wheeler, the boy who lived here with his now dead father.

'Wonder how he's going to take the news,' Yami thought. The second boy was a lot shorter then Joseph and bared a great resemblance to Yami. The only differences were the young man's height and whereas Yami's star shaped hair ended in a ruby red the boy's hair ended in a purple which matched his innocent, amethyst colored eyes, while Yami's eyes were a crimson color. Yami could've sworn he was the only one with an appearance so extravagant.

"Aye Yugi, ya smell dat? Smells like blood or somethin'," Joseph pointed out with a thick Brooklyn accent. 'Yugi' took a whiff of the air and started to gag.

"Yuck! All I can smell is beer, Joey." Yugi replied quite honestly.

"No, I mean do ya smell blood? Any at all?" Joseph, now dubbed "Joey", turned to Yugi and asked him. Yugi simply shook his head. Joey sighed, "Well I do, and I'm gonna go check it out. Stay right here, Yuge."

"Whatever you say Joey, just be careful," Yugi replied to the blonde.

Joey nodded his head and cautiously went deeper into the small home. Yugi then looked around a bit and went over to sit on the couch. Yami then remembered he was behind the couch and hid again. Yugi sat down with a sigh and simply waited for his blonde friend in silence. Though it was a calm quietness for Yugi, it was absolutely nerve racking for Yami. He had never been so close to being caught before ever since he began this second life of his.

The tension was almost too much for the man and he was leaning towards the option of just high tailing it out of there as quick as he could and never looking back. But he knew they'd see him if he did that, so his best bet was to just sit still and wait for an opportunity to escape. Suddenly, Joey called to Yugi, most likely from his father's room, for him to come quickly. Yugi raced out the room to his friend and was utterly shocked by what he saw.

Joey's father was laying on the bed, dead and bloodied with the Eye of Horus symbol on the wall next to him. But the thing that most shocked him was Joey's reaction to the sight, he was smiling and crying. In all the time that Yugi had ever known Joey, he had never once seen his friend cry, at least, not with a smile. "Joey are you sad or happy because you're both smiling and crying..." Yugi asked the elder teen.

"I-I don't know Yuge, I-I always thought that if my dad was to ever die I'd just be overjoyed but a part of me still feels sad..." Joey responded to his younger friend with a slight sniffle.

Yugi reached up and gently patted his friend on the back. "Well, should we call the cops or something?" Joey had to think on his friend's question.

"I s'pose, whoever did dis is probably already gone though," Joey answered with the most logical response. Now that was Yami's cue to get the hell out of there. Which is just what he did as he quickly, but silently opened the window and slipped out, forgetting to close it behind him. Just as Yami had escaped though, Yugi had walked into the room in which Yami had just left.

He was going to go get the home phone so he could call the police, but something had caught his attention out of the corner of his eye. He saw that the window was open, but it was closed when he had left the room before, so why was it open now? He shook his head thinking that he was just being paranoid. He simply went over and closed it to keep the cold air out, then walked back to the kitchen to call the police on the telephone.

Meanwhile, Yami was running as fast as his legs could carry him as if stopping would result in death. He kept running until he neared his home where he slowed to a jog. When he arrived in front of the door he fumbled with his keys until he found the house key. He jammed the key inside the hole and twisted it to the right, unlocking and opening the door. He pushed his way inside and locked the door behind him, slowly backing away until his back hit something. Or someone, as a voice had called out to him, "Welcome home, Yami."

What happens next? Who was the owner of that voice? And was Yami caught after all? And will all the chapters be like this?! Yes, yes they will~
