Chapter 1

Meeting

"The castle that stands at the top of the hill, close enough to see that in a high window stand a tall man. The lengend goes that the man had been there sense before this village was discovered, but no one knows why he is still there, some say he is a vampire, others say a demon," an old man said. The children listening all lend in closer to hear, "The story goes that he was once a prince who ruled over this land, one day while riding through town he met a young girl and fell in love with her, after they were married and the young woman, who's name was Hikari, was carrying a child that his jelous preist killed Hikari. The Prince was in such a rage that he prayed to his gods and asked them to give him the power to destory his disloyal preist. The gods answered him, and turned him into a night-cralwer, and now he sits in the castle by the window waiting for the preist to return so that the prince may kill him, and his love so that they could have the life that was cut so short." The audience clapped their hands for the story teller.

"I thank you all for listening," the story teller said. The crowd started to diprese until only five year old Yugi Mouto was left. Yugi shyly walked up to the story-teller and tapped him on the arm, "Why hello little Yugi, and what can I help you with?"

"What was 'is name?" Yugi asked, "The pwince's." The story-teller sat back down and Yugi crawled into his lap.

"His name was Prince Yami Atemu," The story-teller said chuckling, "He was a very noble Prince, despite his name, He treated everyone with respect, from the noblemen down to the lowest slave." Yugi eyes shined brightly as the story-teller described the prince to him. The story-teller chuckled again and sat Yugi back down on the ground, "Well you better be runn' home before your parents start getting worried. Yugi nodded and smiled at the story-teller before running home. Luckily for Yugi his father and mother weren't home yet so Yugi made his way upstairs and layed down in bed. He looked up at the castle and daydreamed about the prince.

"I wish I could be like 'Ami," Yugi whispered to himself, "I bet 'e was strong and smart, and a good boss." Yugi sighed, he was none of those thing. Infact if his hair were a little longer, people might mistake him for a girl. The Yugi herd the door burst open downstairs and cringed. His parents were home, and it had just begun to rain outside.

"BRAT GET DOWN HERE NOW!" Yugi whimpered and scrambled to get off his bed and downstairs. When he got downstairs he could tell that both of them were drunk, "About time runt," a smirk came to hs father's face, "We've decided we're tired of you." With that Yugi's father pulled out a small pistol and aimed it at Yugi. Fear swept through the five year old. Two shots were herd from the house followed by a silent cry. Yugi watched as his parent left him on the ground to bleed to death as they went upstairs to "have some fun". Once they were gone Yugi used the only strength he had to stand up and walk outside. He looked up at the tall castle. 'No one would find me dere,' Yugi told himself, "And Pwince 'Ami could protect me!' Yugi smiled at the thought and began to walk toward the castle.

A dark figure stood at the top window of his palace. He looked over what was once his kingdom and sighed. Then in the blackness of night he saw a small figure coming towards the palace. 'Who could that be?' the figure woundered to himself. He decided that it was time to feed, so he went down to 'greet' the guest. Yugi smiled at himself when he saw the castle door come into view. 'I did it!' Yugi cheered. The he saw a figure coming towards hima and he began to panik. Though he didn't have much time to do so before he collapsed. the dark figure saw the intruder collapse and ran towards him. Crinsom eyes grew wide at the sight in front of him. It was a small boy, maybe four or five. He had tri-colored hair with golden blonde framing his face, with a crown of ebony black and amythiest tips. The figure gasped as he noticed the pool of blood that had begun to form around the young ones body. The figure picked up the little one and began to run as fast as he could back towards the palace.

When Yugi woke up he was in a dark room. He slowly began to sit up and look around. What suprised him was that in the corner was a young man who looked like him. He had the same tri-colored hair as Yugi, only he had extra blonde shooting up into black. Also his eyes were sharp and a crimson color. The young man smiled at Yugi, he was amazed at the boys beautiful amythiest eyes. The figure stood up and walked over to the awe strucked boy. He sat down next to the frightened boy.

"Hello little one, my names Yami, whats your's? Yami asked kindly. The little boy blushed shyly at Yami.

"M-My name's 'ugi," Yugi said shyly, "You are Pwince 'Ami?" Yami chuckled and nodded. He had known that his story was a lengend of the towns, but didn't mind.

"Yes I am Yugi, and how old are you Yugi?" Yugi held up five little fingers. Then Yami turned serious and looked at Yugi, "Yugi, can you tell me who shot you?" Yugi looked down at the bed as tears came to his eyes.

"Mommy, and Daddy said dat day were tired of me, a-and daddy bwought out a big gun, den bam, den mommy and daddy just left me," The last part come out a sob as Yugi began to cry. Yami looked sadly at the boy and picked him up and placed him in his lap. Yami tightly embraced Yugi and let the boy cry into his shoulder. When Yugi had clamed down Yugi looked up at Yami with pleading eyes.

"C-can I stay with you Pwince 'Ami?" Yugi asked pleadingly, "I pwomise to be reeeally good." Yami sighed, there was no way he was sending just a trusting and innocent child back to parent that would most like just try to kill him again, but could Yami really take care of a child? Then a knock came to the door and Yugi instantly started to shake.

"Shh... its ok Yugi, come in!" The door opened to revile two young ladies standing there. The first one was about Yugi's age and had long sholder length black hair and wide sparkiling blue eyes. She had tanned skin, and was wearing a black t-shirt and a black knee high skirt and she was bare foot. The girl next to her looked much like a older version of the first. Only blonde highlights could be seen and her hair went down to her wasit. Her eyes were also narrow like Yami's and were a emerald green.

"Oh, is dat boy you found?" The first girl asked. Yami smiled at them and nodded. Yugi slowly looked up and saw the little girl next to him, "Hi ya, my names Taylor."

"I'm 'ugi," Yugi said shyly to the little girl. The girl smiled up and him and extended her hand.

"Do 'ou want to play with me 'ugi?" Taylor asked. Yugi smiled and nodded taking the girls hand the two five year olds ran off to play. Yami stared after them with a smile on his face. He knew he could take of Yugi, with Taylor and Kiara's help that is! Kiara smiled and sat down next to Yami.

"So are you planning on keeping the boy?" Kiara asked. Yami nodded and explained to her what had happened. Kiara was shocked to say the least. Who would ever hurt there child on purpose like that? Then Taylor came screaming into the room.

"Miss Kiara some wired people came and took Yugi," Taylor sobbed. While Kiara tried to comfort her young human friend, Yami jumped up and ran off to find Yugi. Yugi was frightened as he was carried back to is house. His father and mother had followed the blood tracks Yugi had left and found him and Taylor playing in the garden. ''Ami pwease help me!'. Then Yugi felt himself falling only to be picked up again by safe arms. Yugi looked up to see Yami now had him in his arms. Yugi's father got up and glared at the man.

"You will give me my son back," Yugi's father demanded. Yami growled at him making the grown man flinch.

"You think I would be stupid to give this boy back to you for you to try and kill again?" Yami asked in a growl, "I don't think so, now leave before I kill you!" The two parents nodded and ran off. Yami looked down at Yugi who baried his head in Yami's jacket to keep warm. Yami sighed and sat Yugi down and took off his jacket to wrap around Yugi. Yugi looked up at him in confusion and Yami chuckled at him.

"I don't need it," Yami said. Yami picked Yugi up and ran off towards the palace again. He knew now that he was going to protected this boy. no matter what.

When Yami and Yugi got back to the palace Yami went upstairs to the bedroom Yugi was in earlier. Yami laid Yugi down and stroked his hair. Yugi looked up at Yami sleepliy eyes. Yami smiled, knowing what Yugi want Yami got out of his wet cloths and put on some dry one and laid down next to Yugi.

"Night 'Ami," Yugi said with a yawn. Yami chuckled.

"Good night little one," Yami whispered, but Yugi had already fallen asleep. Yami chuckled again and lightly kissed Yugi on the forehead.
