Puppet Love

Yes, I
know, “where the hell have you been?” Well, basically, working for a living and trying to deal with live’s curve balls…and a writer’s block.

So, I hope
you don’t mind, if this next chappie will be rather quiet, I will return to the bloodshed once my muse drops in again. Until then, enjoy this one here!^^

 

Ja ne!

She kept drifting in and out of conciousness, never enough, to realize her surroundings or recognize the voices around her, but she knew one thing: that she was safe.

Her ordeal was finally over.

Little did Anzu know, that her real trial was yet to come.

 

Honda yawned exhausted.

Ever since they had found Anzu, Yugi spent almost every free minute at the hospital, only just showing up in time to take over his shift at Jou’s side.

Which didn’t surprise Honda, it was more than obvious that his short friend had a crush on the brunette girl.

Still, it
was tireing, having to bath Katsuya all by himself, and wait for-

“Hon..da..”

The brunet youth jerked away from his friend and only just managed to catch him, before the blond fell backwards and hit his head on the rim of the bathtub.

Chestnut orbs locked onto amber ones, and Honda gasped anew.

Jou was staring straight at him!

“Hey man, you ok? You scared me half to death there. Still, I’m gla-“

One foam-covered arm shot forwards and grabbed the front of his short in a death grip.

The blond youth’s whole body shook with effort, when he pulled Honda closer and whispered in his ear:

“care..ful..”

With a sigh, all tension left Jou’s body, and he sunk back, exhausted, eyes empty and unfocused.

 

*It was getting harder and harder, to resist the the pull of the void. He fought to cling to his conciousness, to regain control of his life, but every time Kaiba..used him, he felt it that easier to slip into the sweet oblivion the eye offered.

Among other things.

He had come to the conclusion, that the orb also offered him some kind of clairvoyance or sixth sense.

Jou had had a bad feeling, when they had brought him back from the hospital, and really, only a few hours later, his insides had churned, when pain and terror hit him without warning.

And somehow, in a way he couldn’t explain, he had known it was Anzu.

And now,
that same, dreadful foreboding radiated off his best friend, Honda.*

 

She was
awake and aware, at least most of the time.

Anzu still felt incredibly tired, her whole body seemed to be one big, throbbing wound and her throat was sore, but at least now she could make out the faces and names of the people.

Her parents
came to see her every day, as did Yugi, Honda visited at least four times a week and Shizuka as often as possible. Otogi had also dropped in a few times, after he had heard what had happened to both her and Jou(he had been overseas the past six months), and even Mokuba had managed to drop in twice.

And, although it might have only been a dream, Anzu had the feeling, even Kaiba had came once, stealthily, in the night, when all was quiet. She had not seen him, but had felt that cold, dissecting gaze of his linger on her, but when she had woken, she had been alone.

Big tears rolled out of Anzu’s blue eyes, when she recalled the doctor informing her about the loss of her voice and the condition of her left arm. Her heart almost broke, when she realized that she would be restricted to communicate by sign language and never be able to sing, talk or laugh aloud again for as long as she lived.

And considering the damage inflicted on her arm, she highly doubted, any dance academy would accept her.

With a silent sob, Anzu let her head plop onto the soft cushion and cried herself to sleep…

 

Yami had blocked the mental connection with Yugi, not wanting to let his hikari feel the rage and hatred burning in his soul.

Kaiba had confirmed and surpassed every single bad assumption the pharao had about him.

Momentarily, the young CEO flipped Jou’s helpless body over on his stomach, then rammed his swollen cock anew into the blond’s rectum, pistoing in and out of the tight opening, sweating and cursing all the way.

The spirit
churned with anger and disgust, when he saw pain and fury flicker across Jou’s serene face, and moved towards the bed in order to save his friend.

However, his actions were stopped by none other than Katsuya, who locked his golden orbs with Yami’s purple ones.

The message, though unspoken, was clear:

Stay away.

Yami nodded, reluctantly, before he let himself be pulled back to Yugi.

“Well?” questioned his hikari anxiously, more asleep than awake. The pharao only shook his head.

“Rest. We will deal with it tomorrow.”

Yugi gave a cautious glance, but before he could object, tiredness overwhelmed him.

He yawned and was asleep, before his head met the pillow.

Yami smiled
tenderly, then furrowed his brow in renewed concern and disgust.

 

Kaiba was in for an unpleasant surprise come morning.

Can anybody
say ‘Shadow Realm’? Then again, Kaiba is not one you can get rid off that easily…please
