Duality Chaos, Book Two of The Chaos Saga

Chapter 22: The Expert

     "Please..."  Yami was confused.  What was Yugi's voice doing as an echo?  Why was Yugi pleading?  And why the hell was Yami's face wet?

     Crimson opened slowly, then flew the rest of the way open as memories registered.  Trying to spring (in reality, crawling sorely) in front of  Yugi, he rasped, the pain surging through his chest, "Yugi...behind me.  Seto is..in the Thirst." 

      Yugi held Yami,  trying to calm him.  "Joey has Seto.  Please, Yami, lay down."  Yugi started kissing Yami's face.  "Please, rest, don't hurt yourself."  Yugi was smiling, tears coming from his eyes. 

     Yami's eyes landed on Seto.  Seeing him calm, Yami relaxed.  It was then he realized, he didn't know why, but.. "Yugi...I hurt."

     That simple phrase tore through Yugi.  "Seto stabbed you with a chair leg...wooden.  H..how did you survive this?  I thought you dead?" 

     Yami shook his head, chuckling slightly.  "I am the oldest vampire...I have to be beheaded and burned.  Now, please, I have to check on Seto, Mokuba, that boy, and the club goers...Wait...wooden?  We don't have any wooden chairs...?"  Eyebrows furrowed, another pressing need became evident.  "I need blood.  Can you get..."

     "Shhh."  Yugi put a finger on Yami's mouth.  Keeping his gaze, Yugi bared his neck.

     "Aibou...I can't.  I remember what you said, how you despise it."

     "Stop."  Yugi stated, forcefully.  "You need blood.  I know wereleopard blood is potent.  I also know you can get more blood faster through the neck."

     Yami's lip quivered.  Leaning up, smelling lilacs, he closed his eyes and sunk his fangs in Yugi's neck.  As the blood coursed into Yami's mouth, he groaned.  Yugi's blood tasted so amazing...so rich, so thick, so sweet.  He was quickly regaining his strength.

      Yugi's eyes slid closed at the exquisite feeling of the bite.  It was almost orgasmic.  It sent shivers down to Yugi's toes.  He let out a purr.

     Yami chuckled, pulling away, licking the wound until it healed.  Pulling back, he looked at Yugi in the eyes.  Smiling, he kissed Yugi's nose as Yugi's eyes were still glazed over.  "Now...damage control."  Yugi nodded, standing up as well. 

     Yami went over to Seto.  Joey quickly stood between Yami and Seto.  "Now, Yam' it wadn't his fault..his eyes were all red."  Yugi started shaking.  Now that Yami was safe, everything that happened washed over him.  Yugi glared at Seto, trembling with rage.

     "You!  You bastard, look at me!"  Yugi growled.  Joey opened his mouth to protest.  Yugi whipped around on Joey. "Don't.  If Yami would have attacked Seto, you would have tried to kill Yami.  So...just don't."  Joey closed his mouth guiltily and scuffed a foot.

      Seto stood slowly, turning around.  "He's right, Joey.  I deserve whatever it is."  Seto slowly turned around, facing Yami and Yugi. 

     Yugi stepped forward.  "You son of a bitch...you almost took him from me.  Why?  Why!  You have more control over your emotions than anyone else I know.  I don't believe you slipped.  So why?!!!!"  Tears slipped from Yugi's eyes as he glared at Seto, demanding answers.

     Seto had found something keenly interesting on the floor he was staring at.  "I...I don't know."

     "You kill a man, knock your brother unconscious, and almost kill your cousin, and your only fucking answer is 'I don't know'?  Why shouldn't I rip you apart right here?"  Yugi was trembling more.  Joey's eyes went wide.
