Black feathers equals a black heart

Chapter 8

"You really made it easy for us. Not even trying to move." The dark green one said as he took a step forward positioning himself just a few inches away from the, slightly paler then usual, portal.

"Couldn't you at least have tried to hide?" Joey asked and Yami rolled his eyes.

"I see no reason in doing something so pointless. Whether I hide or not would not change that fact that, if you had wanted to, you still would've found me. It would all just be a huge waste of energy." He answered and watched the demons closely before he closed his eyes and an almost invisible smile formed on his lips. An act that didn't go unnoticed by everyone.

"Do you depend on this thing that much?" Anzu asked as she gestured to the barrier, "It's not gonna protect you. Not this time."

"Ah, I've already realized that." Yami answered as he opened his eyes and pointed towards the demon Joey, or rather, on his leg which had slipped in through the barrier without the demon noticing. "Had it been working properly then I don't believe your friend would be able to do that without it leading to a rather painful consequence."

"You know that and still you smile…" One of the demons said as he glared at Yami. "We have no intention of killing you, but you seriously believe that you can beat us?" The dark green eyed demon asked as he stepped in through the barrier that no longer was able to separate the five creatures from each other. Yami only smirked as he looked at the one who had voiced the question.

"I don't know, but isn't that what's so thrilling about this world? The fact that you can never know the real outcome of anything. I can die tomorrow for all I know. You can turn into a flower, it's not likely, but it can happen. You can never say how it will turn out before it's finished." Yami answered and the yellow eyed demon growled, frustrated.

"Stop talking in circles. You only have two options, either come with us with your own free will or fight and we will have to make you come with us."

"I see it more as three options. I say no… And we see where that leads." Yami answered, smirking, as he cut the last string of the orange and yellow eyed demons patience.

"I guess it's option two then!" Joey yelled as he suddenly stood in front of Yami, his human hand turning into that of a claw, shocking Yami. He had forgotten about the speed these four demons had. But he managed to jump away from the claws just in time. A second slower and the demon would've been able to hit him right in the head.

"There's still option three." He said as he jumped to the side, avoiding a second attack coming from the yellow eyed one. Graciously landing on his feet Yami looked at the four demons in front of him. This may be tougher then I thought. I wonder, would those two idiots be on my side or their own kinds?

"That option expired the moment we walked in." The Dark green eyed one said as he smirked and Yami bite his lower lip. He knew the other was right, he didn't have the upper hand, the demons had it. Yami was still weak, his power had still not fully returned and even if they had were they still here he couldn't take the risk. If the humans saw him… He wasn't sure what would happen but he sure as hell didn't feel like explaining shit to any of them. Especially not Ryou. He hated to admit it, but he had gotten really found of him, the first person who he could really ever call a friend. He didn't want to lose that friendship.

To think that something so ridiculous as a bond with another person could get him into so much trouble. Yami rolled his eyes he was getting soft.

"So you say, but it doesn't seem like your actions can keep up with your words." Yami said, smirking as he dodged another attack. The yellow and orange eyed one is very easy to rattle up, good to know.

"Then we seem to be two on that part. You have a big mouth but all you've done so far is dodging the attacks we throw out." The orange eyed countered with a smirk of his own and Yami glared. Why couldn't all demons be idiots like the other two?

"You ever got the thought that I may not like confrontations?" He said back as he made sure to keep a close eye on the three demons in front of him… Wait, three?

A sudden rush in his head was the only warning he needed as he felt his body automatically jump to the side to avoid the dangerous claws that had come up behind him. However thanks to his body still not being fully recovered it didn't have the strength to fully follow and thous he was to slow to fully avoid the danger and, to his utter dismay, the female demon managed to hit him on his upper arm. He felt his body tremble slightly from the wound but he didn't let it show as his poker face was placed like a mask, hiding all pain that would've shown on his face.

Yami had the ability to force his body to shut down resulting in him, almost, becoming immune to pain. His body still felt it but his head wouldn't register it until he saw fit. This was something he had learned from a young age and which had saved him many times. You could say it gave him an advantage, no matter how many times his enemies hit him his body would still be able to fight like if it didn't have a single scratch on it. Unfortunately this ability he had wasn't only positive, by the end of each fight of where he had used it had he collapse. The pain to strong for his brain to comprehend as it would all come crashing down on him at the same time.

Yami looked at the four demons, the frown on his face growing bigger. He hated to admit it but they were good, they knew what they were doing and worked in perfect sync. One being the distraction through words, two being a distraction through action and the second being the deadly one. Staying in the shadows, slowly vanishing from the prays sight who wouldn't know it's mistake until it was to late. It was the perfect combo as the prey would be too scared from the start to think straight. They wanted him alive, but it didn't seem like whoever wanted to get him didn't care if Yami was hurt which only made this so much harder.

"Four on one. Don't you think that's a little unfair." Yami asked as he straightened up, his arms hanging limply at his sides. The frown on his face turned into a smirk as he saw a flicker of irritation fly through the dark green eyed demons eyes.

"As long as we get the job done, who cares?"

"Ah, right. Forgot I was fighting with demons." Yami said as he stopped. While they had been talking had he moved, not much, but far enough for him to be able to see all four demons at the same time. He would be damned if he let himself get tricked by the same trick again.

The orange eyed demon growled before he took a step forward, only to be stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

"Tristan, relax." The dark green eyed demon said and Tristan growled again, but he didn't move.

"No don't relax, its so much more fun if your mad. That always makes such an interesting fight!" A voice said from somewhere behind Yami and the four demons turned their eyes away from their prey to see what kind of human would be dumb enough to interrupt them.

Yami on the other hand didn't move a single muscle. He recognize the move, after all, it was one of the voices who had terrorized him for hours before he had decided to just ask them question. If they didn't wanna stop talking then they could at least give him some information.

"What are you two doing here?" Joey asked and Marik laughed.

"We're making this fight more even."

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

Okay so I feel like I should explain something, since I don't know if I will ever take it up in the book. The demons in this world have two forms. They either look like humans, but of course you can see it's a demon thanks to their eyes, or they have their true form which is, of course, a demon.

Bye bye then
