Bitter Silence

Seto felt a tingle up his spine, sensing that he was being summoned. He tilted his head, then reached out to instead move his queen. "Checkmate."

"Wha-!" Atem stared at the board in confusion. "But I just—HOW!"

"And I thought I was a sore loser," the brunet mumbled when the other demon promptly flipped the board.

Atem huffed. "Aren't you being summoned? Why don't you go?"

Seto paused to examine the bandages around his fingers, then frowned, clenching his fist over his chest where he'd been stabbed. "…And give him a chance to destroy me completely? I'll pass."

The other demon frowned. "…You're afraid of him?"

"…I thought he loved me at least a little bit. But he had no trouble stabbing me with a dragon's claw," the brunet muttered. "I was wrong. I'll heal, and then I'll go home. I'm finished with humans. They're craftier than demons in some ways, and sneakier. You know this isn't the first human that's hurt me. It will just be the last."

Atem watched him for a few minutes, then huffed. "You're disgusting, human-lover."

"You're the one that uses the crystal ball to see what the humans are doing," Seto shot back, glaring at him. "Besides, humans are more fun to fuck."

"Of course they are," the other demon spat in disbelief.

.-.-.-.-.-.

Joey frowned when Seto failed to respond to his summon and checked to make sure he'd made the symbols right. After double and triple-checking, he decided that yes, all of them were. He looked into the circle hopefully, wondering if maybe he just had to muster up the energy to come after being injured. "Are you coming, Seto?"

Usually, the brunet could hear him, and would respond with an echo through the ring, especially if he'd gotten caught up in something before he came.

The bitter silence that filled the room instead of the demon's smooth voice spoke volumes.

Joey bit his bottom lip, pulling his powers back from the chalk symbols. That wasn't working at all. He checked the symbols one more time, then looked at his fingers. Perhaps it was time for him to take drastic measures now.

Pulling a small pocketknife from his pocket, he slid the knife over the tip of his right index finger, flinching a little in pain. "Ouch." Squeezing the end of his finger until the blood welled up, he reached out to carefully trace over the chalk, flinching again as the chalk smeared into the wound. It hurt, but he wanted to see Seto and apologize. He'd had no idea that the dragon claw would hurt him like that.

He even made multiple mistakes in case Seto was angry with him, because he felt so guilty after what he'd done that he didn't mind if the demon crushed his bones. Anything would be better than just sitting there feeling guilty.

.-.-.-.-.-.

"Oh, he's using blood summoning now," Atem stated in surprise as he watched runes painted in blood appear on the brunet's skin.

Seto grunted and reached out to move his bishop. "Checkmate."

"Wha-! But—I—FUCK!"

The brunet huffed as his cousin flipped the board again. "Why do you continue to play this game if you're such a sore loser?"

"BECAUSE I WILL EVENTUALLY WIN!" Atem roared, glaring at him, then crossed his arms and scowled. "…Someday… I will win…"

Seto scratched at one of the blood runes on his arm, frowning. "You want to try again, or do you want to play something that you can actually beat me at?"

The other demon grumbled and went to collect all of the pieces. "Didn't it take the blood of three virgins to forcefully remove you from this plane and bring you to the human plane?"

"Yes. And of course, Joey is far from a virgin, so he couldn't hope to summon me on his blood alone." He looked down at the runes on his arms. They were quite light—so pale they were almost pink. Shrugging slightly, he set the board back on the table between them. "Will you please stop flipping my chess set?"

"I'll stop when I win!"

.-.-.-.-.-.

Joey could sense that his blood had made some sort of difference, but it wasn't enough. "Uhn…" He looked at his fingers, all of them cut and bleeding, then looked down at the summoning circle. He'd covered the chalk with blood, but it still wasn't enough.

His eyes trailed down his palms, then down to his wrists. Perhaps… perhaps if he used a little more blood. Maybe then it would be enough. He realized that Seto was powerful, but maybe…

Gritting his teeth as he dug the point of the knife into his wrist, he groaned quietly. "Ouch ouch ouch-!" He grunted as the knife jerked from his skin, splattering blood across the circle. "Damn." It had smeared the circle—not that he cared. Maybe Seto would come and break out of the safety part and exact revenge.

Maybe he'd sense that he wanted to see him.

.-.-.-.-.-.

"…Say it."

Seto grimaced.

Atem glared at him. "Say it."

"…Checkmate."

"GRAH!"

The brunet sighed as he watched the other demon flip the board again. "Can we play something else, please? Checkers, cards… tic-tac-toe, even. Just not chess."

"Absolutely not! I almost beat you this time!" Atem began, then frowned, surprised. "Hmm. Maybe he did find an extra virgin lying around somewhere."

Seto blinked, then looked down at his arms, frowning when he saw the blood-runes getting darker. "Joey isn't the type that would sacrifice someone, even if he did want to see me."

The runes were getting darker still.

Seto didn't want to care anymore, but he had to admit that he was worried. Joey really wasn't the type to sacrifice anyone, and he could tell by the darker sheen of the blood that it wasn't from a virgin.

Atem frowned as the brunet stood. "What, too afraid that you'll lose this time?"

"You were only so close to winning because I let you," the other demon replied, smirking as he disappeared in a few sparks. The last thing he saw before he appeared on the mortal plane was his cousin's gaping mouth as he turned into his demon form and attempted to eat him.

When he arrived in the blond's room, he blinked. Somehow, the stench of blood didn't excite him as it usually would. …The stench of blood-!

Looking down at where he was standing, he shifted awkwardly as he found himself standing in a puddle of blood. "—Shit!"

He knelt quickly and grabbed the blond's shoulders, frowning when the human's head lolled bonelessly as he lifted him into a sitting position. "Joey?" He felt something trickling down his leg and looked down, whining quietly when he saw blood dripping from the blond's wrist and onto his thigh. "Joey, what have you done?"

"Hmm… 'm… sor… ry…" Joey whispered weakly.

Seto carried him to the bed. "Don't talk. Save your strength." He looked at the blond's wrist and whined again when he saw how violently it was torn open. He placed his hand over the wound but still felt blood trickling out from under his hand. "…Joey, why?"

"D'n't mean t'… t' hur' ya," the human whimpered. "W's scared. D'n't wanna be… be owned… Wan'ed t' be… be equals…"

"Joey, you…" The demon whined again. "Why do you humans do this to me? Why do you continue to make me care about you and then die?"

Joey's lips quirked up into a sad smile. "'least I saw ya 'gain, S'to." He let his eyes drift closed. "J'st wan'ed t' say… 'm sorry… G'bye…"

Seto let out an anguished roar. "YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DIE UNTIL I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO DO SO!" He shook the blond roughly, freezing when he felt the human's shoulder bones crack and break under his grip. He loosened his grip, leaning down to kiss him lightly, then rubbed his cheek over the younger boy's neck. "How do you make me care so much and still make me so angry…?"

There was still the smallest of heartbeats. The blood trickling from the human's wrist had slowed, but still flowed.

He still had time.

Ripping the blond's shirt open, he slid his claws over his body gently before digging them into his flesh and hurriedly slicing runes into his skin. He muttered some demonic words before leaning down to sink his teeth into the blond's throat. He felt the blond's neck pulse once, twice, three times—before his heart stopped beating completely.

A moment later, his heart began hammering harder than he'd ever felt it beat, and a surge of powerful magic forced the brunet away, slamming into the opposite wall with a startled yelp as blood poured out of his mouth. He wiped his chin awkwardly, as he hadn't been able to release the human's throat before he'd been forced away, so he'd ripped it open. He hoped that wouldn't alter his transformation.

Joey's body arched upward violently, the bones in his shoulders cracking and popping as they were forced to heal. A scream ripped from his throat as the runes cut into his body erupted with light.

Seto covered his eyes and flinched, his sensitive eyes burning in pain. He couldn't see what was happening anymore. All he could hear was popping and cracking—and the blond's agonized screams.

All at once, it ended. The light faded, the screams silenced, and the blond's body went limp on the bed.

Seto was almost afraid to approach him. What if it hadn't worked? Joey had died so soon after he'd bitten him. Usually it took several minutes to transfer magic, and he'd poured it all into him in seconds. What if he'd used too much power too quickly and it had overloaded his senses?

…What if he touched him and found he was stiff and cold?

He delicately touched the blond's cheek, frowning. "Joey…" He sighed. It hadn't worked. Joey had no horns to speak of, and even the youngest demons had stubs.

Seto yelped as something slid around his knee and looked down swiftly. "What the-!"

It was a tail. A long, black tail extending from underneath the blond's body. Turning the smaller boy onto his side quickly, he gasped as he saw something fluttering beneath his shirt and ripped the back of it open, too. "Oh. …Well, damn," he whispered, frowning, as he saw the tiny black wings fluttering lightly.

Winged demons were rare and well-known for being amorous. He should have known what the blond would turn into.

Sighing quickly and rolling his eyes, he slid his arms under the blond's knees and back, turning to step back into the summoning circle so he could leave and take the new demon with him. After all, the mortal plane was no place for a demon—and Joey no longer fit the description of human.
