Vampiric Stalker Returns
Chapter 2 – Dancing and the Rescue
Yugi woke the later that day and got out and had a shower before he headed downstairs dressed and ready to help his grandfather out with work. Yugi walked out of the kitchen and into the game shop. He saw a couple of people in there and walked over to his grandfather.
“Ji-chan...” He said softly and his grandfather turned to him. “Something I can help with?”
“No Yugi. Why don’t you go and rest for the day. There isn’t much that needs to be done.”
Yugi nodded and walked back into the kitchen. He got an idea and walked up the stairs to his bedroom. There he sat down and his desk and took out his sketch book and started to draw.
-
Yami sat in his throne back at his palace. He was depressed and was not listening to a single word his council said. Marik, Malik, Bakura and Seth could tell something was wrong. They didn’t know that Yugi had his memories back and that Yugi hated him.
“Everyone leave.” Bakura said.
“But...”
“NOW!!!” Marik roared out making the council flinch.
Everyone left without a word after. Bakura, Marik, Malik and Seth turned to Yami. Yami noticing the council not there got up to leave. Bakura walked over and pushed him back into his throne. Yami looked up and gave him a glare. Bakura just smirked and turned to talk to the others for a second.
“At least we got a different reaction out of him. Yami what in Ra’s name is wrong with you?”
“Nothing.”
“Bullshit.” Marik said.
“You haven’t been this depressed since you erased Yugi’s memories of you. But this is worse.”
Yami visible flinched at the name and everyone saw it.
“Something happened to Yugi. What?” Bakura said.
“Nothing is wrong.”
“
Yami don’t test me. Even if you say nothing is wrong it’s clearly visible on you.” Bakura hissed.
Yami sighed. “I went back and brought forth Yugi’s memories. This morning when he woke I tried to explain why I did it. He wouldn’t listen...” Yami was looking at the ground in front of him instead of everyone else. “He said he doesn’t love me and he hates me.”
They all saw Yami’s shoulders shake; tears were flowing from his eyes. Marik and Bakura went and sat on either of throne on the arms rests and tried to comfort him. Seth knelt in front of him.
“Yami I’m sure he just doesn’t understand why. Give him time to go through his memories again. He may remember how much he was put through. Try and calm down. He loved you a lot before you erased him memories, he wouldn’t just got to hate in a matter of seconds of remembering everything. He needs to know why so give it time.”
Yami nodded and tried to control his crying. “Yami we will go to Yugi’s work tonight and talk to him. See if he shows he remembers anything to us.”
Yami nodded again and stood and left the room. Everyone looked after him and they were very concerned. He had never been this depressed before in his long life.
-
Night fell and Yugi was already at work at the bar. It was 9 and he had another hour till finish then he had half an hour free before he had to go and get ready for entertaining. Yugi sighed; his thoughts had been on Yami all day.
He had finished his drawing he was doing. He had taken a memory from what he remembered and sketched it out. He’d chosen the day he woke chained in the prison. He then did a sketch of just Yami himself sitting on his throne back in palace in Egypt with his Egyptian attire on and then another that was the same but his clothes were a little different. His body was split down the middle and half was his Egyptian and the other half was his leather clothes.
“Yugi how are you?” Ryou said hopping up onto a stall at the bar.
“Good, you?”
“Good. Can I grab 6 beers?”
“Yeah sure. Who’s with you?”
“Bakura, Marik, Malik, Seto and his boyfriend Seth.”
“Oh tell them ‘hi’ for me.”
“Yeah sure. Come over when you finish you shift.”
“Alright I have about 50mins left.”
“Alright.”
Ryou smiled brightly and headed off to the table where everyone was waiting.
-
Yugi sighed and took of his apron and hung it up and signed out. He grabbed a beer from the fridge and headed out to look for everyone. He saw them over at one of the tables at the side wall. Smiling he walked over. He just hoped they would leave in 30mins before he had to go dance and today was...pole dancing.
“Hey.”
“Yugi how are you?” Malik asked.
“I’m good you?”
“That’s good I’m alright.”
“What you been up to?”
“Not much. Working. How long are you guys staying?”
“Oh don’t know an hour or so.”
“Oh ok.” Yugi paled slightly.
“Anything wrong with that?”
“No not at all.”
“Did you know Yami is severely depressed?” Bakura said
“You know about me remembering?”
“Yeah. Yami told us he came back to you. And what you said.” Yugi looked down ashamed. “You know you caused him to be depressed. This is worse than when he erased your memories of him.” Marik said.
“Oh...Anyway I better go. I have another shift I have to do.”
“Oh ok then. Bye.” Ryou said and everyone said goodbye.
“Wonder what that was about.”
“Don’t know.”
Everyone started talking amongst themselves.
-
“Lauran can I not dance today? Please my friends are here and they don’t know I do it.”
“I’m sorry Yugi we just lost another dancer and you need to stay. Can you get ready early please?”
Yugi sighed. “Alright.”
Yugi went and got changed into his clothing that he had to wear. Yugi stood next to Lauran and another dancer and got ready to walk out. Yugi just hoped that Ryou and everyone had left and if they hadn’t they wouldn’t tell Yami what he was doing. The music came on and Yugi and the rest of the dancers walked out and started doing their routine.
Ryou sighed and looked up to the dancing stage and his mouth dropped to the floor. Ryou tugged on Bakura’s shirt.
“Ryou?”
Ryou pointed up to the stage and everyone turned and gasped. There was Yugi swinging around a pole and moving up and down on it. Bakura excused himself and went to the bathroom and teleported to the palace and into Yami’s room. Yami lay there looking at the ceiling. He looked across when he saw Bakura standing there.
“I have a question for you. Did you know Yugi is a pole dancer?” Yami’s eyes widened and he sat up quickly. “I take that as a no. Well we are all at the club at the moment and he’s out there pole dancing with 4 others.”
“W-W-What? Y-You have to b-be joking.”
“I’m not joking Yami. Anyway I thought I would tell you I have to go now. Bye.”
Bakura teleported back to the bathroom in the club and walked back out to the table. Yugi was still dancing up on stage. Bakura grabbed Ryou’s arms and dragged him into a standing position.
“We are leaving. We’ll see you guys at the palace.”
-
Yugi sighed again as he walked down the road back home. It was midnight. He had seen them all leave at the same time. He had seen disgust on Seth and Seto’s face and shock on Marik, Malik, Ryou and Bakura’s. He just hoped they wouldn’t tell Yami. He couldn’t imagine what would happen if they did. He had no real way to contact him. He knew where he would be and it would take forever for him to send a message via the mind link.
Yugi sighed and turned to the next road and continued walking. He felt something watching and whatever it was wasn’t alone. Yugi shivered and walked faster along the road. He saw something flash across his vision in front of him but didn’t know what it was. Yugi went to turn around and he felt himself be smashed into a wall. Yugi screamed in pain before a hand covered his mouth. He opened his eyes to see glowing red eyes and to find himself in an alley. Yugi knew exactly what it was.
“Nice, pretty prey. Pretty prey go bye bye.” The vampire said.
Yugi squeezed his eyes shut waiting for the pain to come. But it didn’t instead the hand that was holding him to the wall disappeared and he heard something hit the wall and two sets of hisses could be heard. Yugi opened his eyes to see someone in front of him. It was Yami. Yugi instantly wrapped his arms around his waist tightly and buried his face in his back. This made Yami stiffen and turn around. He looked down at Yugi and saw a smile and guilt in his eyes.
“I’m sorry.” Yugi whispered as Yami removed Yugi’s arms from his waist before he found himself throw further into the alley. “Yami!”Yugi screamed and ran after him only to be tackled to the ground.
Yugi had already hurt his back from being smashed up against the wall. Now he was tackled to the ground and someone was lying on top of him. Yugi screamed loudly in pain. He felt his head pulled to the side sharply.
“YAMI!!!” Yugi screamed and struggled trying to throw the vampire off.
Yugi felt the vampire descend on his neck before all the weight on him was gone. He heard something being thrown into the wall again and angered hissing from both vampires. Yugi just stayed on the ground not game to look up.
“You dare touch a human that belongs to another vampire. He’s taken by the King.”
“Don’t care if he’s taken by the King. He’s pretty prey.”
“Then you will die by the King’s hand.”
Yami darted forward and grabbed onto his head and ripped it away, separating it from the body and the vampire disintegrated. Yami turned to Yugi who was still on the ground. He knew he was in pain and thought about leaving but then he would be prey for another. He knew there were more vampires in the area. Sighing he walked over and rolled Yugi over gently getting a hiss of pain from him and a small whimper. He lifted him into his arms before teleporting.
Yami teleported back to the game shop and into Yugi’s bedroom. Yami walked over and gently placed Yugi down on the bed and went to leave. Till a soft voice called out to him. Turning he saw Yugi trying to sit up. Walking back over he gently pushed Yugi so that he was lying back down.
“Please I’m so sorry Yami. I never meant it. I was just angry, please don’t go.” Yugi said to him.
