Chapter 2: Story of the Vampire Boy
Yami watched as the boy collapsed to the ground with a smirk on his face. This was his first kill for tonight.
"One down." he said as he turned to face the weeping girl and the raged man holding her close while glaring at Yami. "Now then, if you want your deaths to be quick and painless, do not attempt to run and come with me quietly."
As Yami reached into his trench coat for handcuffs he suddenly felt a small, soft, hand grabbing his wrist. The boy and the girl gasped as Yami turned his head. His eyes were bulging as he was looking down into the eyes of the boy that he shot, or attempted to. But the boy wasn't bleeding and he wasn't wounded, he was perfectly fine.
"How in the..." Yami looked up to the place the boy was standing when he shot him. He then could see a bullet hole embedded into the wall.
"Please, don't take them away," pleaded the boy. "They have done nothing wrong, it's all my fault that they are involved."
"Son of a bitch………you dodged it," Yami growled. He grabbed the boy's hand and pulled him close to his body, pressing the tip of Hell Shot against his head. "This time I won't let you dodge this shot, boy."
Suddenly, Yami made a startled choke as the blonde man head butted him in the side. He dropped Hell Shot, and released the boy. He fell to the ground and clutched his side. While he held his side, he looked up to see the tip of Hell Shot pressed against his forehead. Growling, he looked up into the eyes of the blonde man holding his Hell Shot.
"You listen here ass-hole," hissed the blonde man. "Yugi is not what you think he is."
"So the boy has a name," thought Yami as his eyes moved to gaze at the scared boy who is in the arms of the brunette girl.
"My name is Jounouchi, the girl over there is Anzu, and the little one is Yugi," he explained and nodded his head towards the girl and the small boy. "We all have been best friends for years. Then one day, Yugi was caught in that radiation accident in 2126.We thought he died until 5 months later, he returned to us. But the problem was, he was different. He changed into one of those new breeds of vampires. “The good thing was, he never killed anyone. Yugi lived off of the blood of rats and stray cats. Yugi is afraid of death because he is so young and we couldn't bare the thought of killing him. We took him in and we all lived in this abandoned restaurant for 2 years." Jounouchi backed away slowly, still pointing his gun at a bewildered Yami.
"Do you understand now?" he said, slowly starting to lower the gun. "Yugi is the only good vampire that we know of; he is still human. If he were out killing people..we.we would let the hunters have him. But no, we are not letting people hurt him for crimes he did not commit. If you don't believe us, you should notice that there are piles of dead rats and cats around."
Yami did notice this when he first came in, the place was covered with the bones and corpses of rats and cats. But, that didn't prove much to him. He slowly stood.
"Why should I believe you, traitors?" he said, folding his arms. Jounouchi groaned in frustration and aimed the gun at Yami again.
"Is your skull that thick?" said Jounouchi. "Look, all we are asking is for you to leave Yugi alone. He has done no harm and only wants to be with us, his friends. His grandpa was killed by vampires and he has no one left. We are the only ones that help keep his sanity. “If he truly were out to kill people, he would kill us right now. Those strong vampires kill whatever they see that is alive. I know this because we encountered many and Yugi fought them off to protect us. Please believe me. Why else would we be alive and human?"
Yami looked from the pleading blonde's eyes then shifted his eyes towards the pleading girl and the crying vampire boy.
He blinked. "He's actually crying." he thought to himself while looking surprised and puzzled. "How can that be……..? Vampires don't have feelings."
Then it hit him. This vampire, Yugi, was different among the rest of the vampires. He was blessed with his humanity and sanity.
Yami held his hands up to surrender. "I believe you," he said.
Jounouchi looked at him for a moment, then smiled and lowered the gun down. "Thank you." he said as he held out his hand. Yami reached out and took his hand. This concealed their new friendship.
Anzu had tears of joy in her eyes while Yugi wiped away his own and smiled. Jounouchi handed Yami back his Hell Shot, then backed away to shield Yugi in case Yami changed his mind. Yami took Hell Shot and tucked it away into his trench coat.
"I must be on my way……...I need to slay some vampires before the sun comes up." Yami turned towards the shattered window and walked towards it. "I'll be back tomorrow night to check up on you three. I suggest you behave yourselves and stay out of trouble." Yami winked at Yugi as he leaped out the window and ran down the street.
"He better not plan a way to kill Yugi," growled Jounouchi.
"Hush Jou,” said Anzu, scowling slightly at Jounouchi. “He's a hunter and if he really wanted to kill Yugi, he would of when you gave him his gun back."
"Hell, it's hard to trust people, Anzu, you can't blame me. What do you think Yugi?" Jounouchi looked down at Yugi who was silent. "Hey Yugi? Buddy? You ok there? Talk to me."
Little did Anzu and Jounouchi know, Yugi seemed to be hypnotised and he had a dreamy look on his face.
***
The night was over and the sun came up, Yami had captured a lot of weak vampires and tied them to a post; he ran out of arrows since he was surrounded by many of them. He watched with a grin as the vampire's flesh caught on fire when the sun shined down on them.
Screams of women, children, and men filled the air as they continued to burn. After a few minutes, all that was left of them was a pile of ashes. Yami turned and walked away from the site, his trench coat flowing like a cape as he walked.
"Mission one, complete." he said to himself as he walked towards the chipped and clawed sign that said: `You are leaving Ginsu Town, please come again.'
"Oh, I'll come again for sure," he thought to himself. "I'll come again……..to see Little Yugi."
His thoughts drifted to the handsome vampire boy Yugi. Now that Yami knew the story about the boy, he didn't want to believe it but something inside him was threatening him to believe or else he would regret it later.
He never let these feelings order him around before, he had been too fearful that his emotions would over take him and make him weak. But for once he decided to give them a chance and hear what they had to say. Yami smiled as he exited Ginsu Town, found his motorcycle, and journeyed his way home on his motorcycle to rest up for tonight where he would see the handsome vampire once again.
***
Yami was in his apartment, lying on his bed and just relaxing. His boss called him to check if he was still alive and well. He told his boss that all went well in Ginsu town and he killed almost every single vampire there. His boss was impressed and told him to keep up the good work. He was then assigned to go to Salium City tonight, after going over Ginsu town again, to clean up there.
He would go there for sure, but first, he was going to see the vampire boy once again. Perhaps this vampire boy would have some use. He remembered Jounouchi telling him that Yugi fought off vampires and protected him and Anzu.
Yami turned onto his side and looked towards his clock. His clock read 1:43pm. Yami sighed and sat up, sliding out of his bed.
"Those three shouldn't be staying in Ginsu town, its too dangerous." he thought to himself. He walked towards the window door and slid it open. He walked out onto the balcony and looked over the city of Tokyo. "They need to move. Ginsu town is a vampire refuge and there might be vampires stronger then Yugi."
Yami suddenly shook his head, placing a hand over his temple. He wondered to himself about why he cared what happens to the boy and his two friends. They are considered traitors for helping a vampire boy hide from hunters.
"You better not be getting soft, Yami," a voice inside his head whispered to him. Yami thought for a moment, then he told the voice to go screw himself. He couldn't care less at the moment if he was being a little soft towards the boy and his friends. He rested his elbows onto the railings as he watched the city below.
Tokyo City was the only place that was vampire-free. Its over crowded though because many people moved here to escape the vampires. No vampire dared to come to Tokyo City; it was too heavily protected. Many hunters lived here and that is why vampires, including the strong ones, avoided Tokyo City.
"Soon little Yugi, I will see you again……..tonight," he said as he smiled to himself. He started to daydream, about the little vampire beauty from last night, to pass the time.
