Jackal and Sparrow
For my loveys who have requested for the last Jackal and Sparrow chapter update I finally give you the ending.
ψ(`∇')ψ It was a burger but I got it out, 1600ish words later ε-('∀`; ) the things I do for you all.
I am just curious on who actually reads, so~ to get the next chapter out 5 votes are needed. Starting low but if you go past before the chapter is ready I'll double post.
===================
The tall gruff CEO of Kaiba corp. Seto was sitting at his desk working on papers like always when suddenly his jackal ears twitch, the normal person could not see these ears in fact if you had no ties to the Afterlife (being once dead and been grace another life) you were unable to see them. Seth, Seto grumbled at the amount of noise coming from the people.
"Tell everyone to get to work or I cut their pay." Seto practically yelled at the intercom for his secretary. "And where is that blasted intern?" Questioning again not as loud, but as mean. "The intern is trying to get through, but everyone keeps crowding the poor thing." She answered back in a calm voice ignoring the first call.
"Put it on speaker." Instructing his secretary, she did just that. Taking a deep breath Seto yelled in the intercom shortening it out during his burst of anger. Sighing at all the confused looks she was getting from everyone she repeated what Seto was trying to say.
All the workers then scrambled in fear for their checks some of them trying to take the poor intern with them. When all was said and done the intern was spinning in a daze with sparrows circling his head. Quickly the secretary scurried the young dazed intern to the CEO's office. "Mr. Mutou, the intern is here." She announced for the no longer dazed Mutou. With that she left the two in a staring contest.
Seto, was staring at an early twenties star haired man with three tones of black with brick red tips, and golden bangs framing his face. Which are against dress code, but since Mutou proved they were real and natural he was fine. The small man was wearing a classy business suit, expected of any person working at Kaiba corp.
Mutou, was staring right at the ears of the CEO. Of course that was the first thing he noticed, the ears. Jackal ears. Mutou's own wings closed in closer to his body. 'Must be a royal.' He thought to himself. Unlike Kaiba, a royal whom has it hidden for him. Mutou had to hide his wings himself by will which can be quite taxing at times. Then those icy blue eyes. Where did he see those before?
A cough brought the intern out of thought and at the CEO. "Well, Mr. Mutou."
"Please, call me Yugi." The smaller male requested during the pause. Nodding he continued to tell Yugi his job and what his daily tasks were. After the talk down of what was to go on it was lunch and Yugi went to the break room.
"No, meal hun?" A tall (normal height) blonde asked as she entered the room. "Yeah." He replied his gaze slightly down turned. "Don't be sad!" She chirped. "I can spare some."
"I would not accept that offer, Mr. Mutou." Seto stated as-a-mater-of-factly to Yugi. Yugi's head craned back to see the other's head, Kaiba was tall. Yes, he was short and everyone was tall to him, but HE!! Was tall!!
Seto smirked as he walked past them both sitting at a table. "You can have the other half of my sandwich." The female blonde the first to offer gaped at the brunette. "One, I offered first. Two, since when do you share?" She questioned with a little more attitude than need with a boss, no matter the relation. "Ms. Valentine, if you wish to keep your job I suggest you shut up." Seto kept his cool as he kept his eyes on his half of the sandwich. Humphing Valentine grabbed her lunch and left without another word knowing full on well that she had lost.
Yugi stared at the empty space where Valentine stood. "Are you hungry or not?" Came a deep voice making Yugi squeak. Yugi sat at the table and grabbed the sandwich half Seto had already set to the side for him. Not liking the quiet air Yugi tried small talk and actually got answers, which he found out later that was near impossible.
Yugi left (with permission of course) the office, the day done with the job completed. As soon as the door of the house closed just after letting the tired sparrow in. Yugi took off his shoes and letting his wings free, the sleepy man blinked falling asleep instantly he clasped on the couch.
The CEO sat in bed the laptop on his lap, his nightly routine. The screen alit his fingers ready like Mozart about to play a piano, then resting his fingers on the keys. What was there to do? Did it all get done? Properly too? The jackal stared at his screen thinking hard, so hard he fell asleep.
The day arose and Seto felt refreshed for once waking up, before his alarm and when someone checks up on him. (Only a few survived that angered mess of letting him sleep in.) Walking down a number of maids and butlers scattered in surprised as well as fear checking every clock checking time. "Morning." Seto called out with a smile. Shock and fear filled everyone so sudenly that they all passed out. "You have a call Mr. Kaiba." The one surving butler informed his master.
Yugi woke with a start falling off the couch in a barrel roll landing on the floor with a great thud. Noting the time Yugi got his coffee and breakfest started while he changed as well as freshen up. Opening the door he soon quickly closed it, almost forgot to hide the wings again, oops. Assuring that they were this time he left the door for real. Walking down the sidewalks Yugi attempted to recall the strange dream he had that night. "Alright no more falling asleep on the couch again. It would do more than mess with your suit." The suit he was wearing the day before was in a great mess that four trips to the cleaners might be needed.
Seto entered his office as always, Anubis just had to call him and give him that news and a reminder of all things. Shufling of paper made Seto stop in his tracks, no one besides him and his secertary (heck he was still the first to enter) made it to Kaiba corp. this early. "Good morning Mr. Kaiba." The little sparrow chirped, instanly Seth knew it was his little sparrow. "Good morning, little sparrow." Yugi puased, he was confused he was not sure how Seto had known. What was worse though, he had said it the same way as the Jackel in his dreams.
"Little sparrow?" He asked quietly not wanting Seto to hear his confusion. Yet, the jackal did and his little test worked, but he will keep this quiet for a bit longer.
Time passed by and Yugi was a valuable employee that Seto ever had. But something was amiss as time went by. Yugi was starting to come in later and later, called in sick a few times. The secretary was worried that Seto would fire the poor boy, normally on call two in a two month period would get them fired. One time Yugi fainted from his illness (no one knew of yet) and refused to go after he awoke.
Seto was worried, maybe he should have made his move sooner? He wasn't able to get a lot of work done after the eighth call from Yugi. (on the tenth one)
A call, one simple call shot his whole world. "Mr. Kaiba?" A voice started. "I am Mr. Mutou's doctor, I thought I would inform you on his behalf that he is now to be hospitalized from his grave illness." Seto was paling and paling at the words given to him. When the call was over Seto nicely hung up and placed his face in his hands, quietly morning in anguish. The door opened his secretary walking in, she paused when she looked up quickly running out she got back to work. Soon returning with a coat and keys she approached Seto. "Here, I cancelled everything go."
"I need-"
"Go!" Stupidity or was it bravery that she raised her voice to stop Seto's protests. "You have not been getting anything done anyway." Nodding Seto took the keys and jacket, she was right, the time is now before he regrets again all together.
Yugi Mutou did not have much longer to live.
"How is he?" The doctor looked at the tall man that just entered. He was surprised that such a stern man could speak so soft. "Not well I am afraid. A few more hours at most." Seto nodded acknowledging what he had heard. The doctor left to tend to the others that lay in bed.
Turning around Seto could see the sad state the little sparrow was in. Yugi was paler than the sheets he laid on, thin to the bone. His hair just about looked like a dead man's, his wings......wings. How could he not see them, sure he knew but how? Yugi's wings were colorless and feathers were coming off.
"Master, Seth." Yugi's horse voice tiredly greeted. "Yes, my little friend." Seth greeted in return letting his ears show. "I am sorry master." Seth shook his head to stop him. "My little sparrow did good." Yugi smiled brightly a little color came back but was gone when he started to cough. "Will you stay with me this time?" Yugi's worn out eyes begged Seth's own eyes.
Seth stayed until Yugi's last breath. Quickly he left a feather in his hand. That night Anubis called Seth back home.
The little sparrow greeted his master as he entered the Afterlife.
