Blood Moon
Me: Why hello people of Fan fiction!
Bakura: you're too cheerful for my taste (yawns)
Me: (pouts) that's mean Kura!
Yugi: (laughs) Fate doesn't own anything but the story line!
Bakura: and don't give her shit if it isn't to your liking!
Chapter 2- nightmare
After an hour or so Yugi had woken up and instantly all the other wolves took a liking to him, though Yugi was still unsure of the situation and stayed behind Bakura who just licked him between the ears. Ryou started heading over to Tea and Tristan.
"How do you guys like the new wolves so far?" Ryou asked once Tea and Tristan got to the glass that separated the two types of animals.
"Yugi seems nice enough to be friends with but I don't know about Bakura…He is kinda-"Tristan got interrupted by Joey who approached the three.
"I can understand Bakura,"
"What?!" Seto exclaimed who over heard the conversation.
"I mean just think about it, what happened to Yugi and Bakura's pups?" Joey started.
"They died at birth," Ryou said, confused.
"Exactly, and who was the cause of them dying?"
"Hunters?" Yami asked stepping out of the shadows, Joey shook his head.
"Humans?" Tea asked and Joey nodded his head, with Seto understanding now.
"We ask why Bakura is acting like we are enemies when we approach them head on," Heba said coming into view.
"Well Bakura doesn't want to lose Yugi like he did the pups-"Joey got cut off by a sharp blow of the whistle, "Food is here," Joey said hungrily as he made his way to the human dumping the fresh meat on the ground and leaving.
Yami made his way to Atemu; carful of the injury he received by Bakura.
FLASH BACK!
Bakura stopped talking once he heard a soft moan from his mate and walked over to him and stepped in front of Yugi.
"Hi you must be Yugi correct?" Marik asked which only got Yugi to cringe closer to Bakura who growled lowly not showing any teeth.
"Bakura, can't we try getting along?" Atemu asked taking a couple steps closer which resulted to Bakura snarling and baring his fangs, "Bakura stop now," Atemu snarled back standing tall ensuring his role as alpha but only caused Bakura to snarl even louder opening his jaws to show razor sharp teeth that none of the wolves (aside from Yugi) even had. Bakura clamped his jaws in a form of intimidation, which caused Atemu to go in biting range. Yami starred in horror trying to get his mate to come back but was pushed back by Seto and Heba.
"Stay. Back," Bakura growled which Atemu only shook his head and tried to get Bakura to see reason.
"You have to take a risk in trusting us Bakura as well as you Yugi," Yugi only flattened his ears to his head and curled his tail between his legs in fear which caused Bakura to snap. With one swift movement Bakura lunged at Atemu aiming for the throat. Having not been able to dodge in time Bakura's teeth landing on Atemu's shoulder drawing blood and causing Atemu to go down on the ground leaving the other wolves starring in horror and Yami begging Bakura to release his mate.
Yugi's ears went up at the scent of blood and walked over to Bakura and whisper in his ear, "Sweet heart I'm fine but I suggest you release him before the humans-"Yugi's warning came to late when a dart landed on Bakura legs leaving him asleep on the ground beside Atemu who jumped back and licked his wounds glaring at the dead to the world Bakura, who the humans took away in a cage and out the wolf's habitat.
"So your Yugi," Yugi turned around to find him face to face with the other wolves, Yugi sighed and stood up from his sitting position and was a little smaller than Ryou who was 3 years old.
"Yugi how old are you?" Seto asked walking over to the other male who just took a step back which made Seto stop in his tracks.
"Two years old," Yugi's bell voice rang as he spoke up.
'No wonder he is smaller than the rest of us' Heba thought as he looked over Yugi who still had the scent of milk on his fur.
"Yugi if you're okay with it how long ago did your pups die?" Malik who was currently sitting down resting his paws asked gently. Yugi let out a small whimper which all the wolves gaze soften as a tear founds its way to the ground.
"Three weeks ago… was when my pups were born and died," Yugi said sadly who flopped down on the ground and cried out in misery and Ryou, Yami, Joey, and slowly Malik went to comfort the younger one.
FLASH BACK OVER
After that Marik had heard the humans say they would keep Bakura over night until he had calmed down, after the whistle blew signaling food all the wolves came out of their den's or from under a tree as they started to eat, Malik made sure there was enough for Yugi to eat who just sat at the edge of the clearing with a lost look in his eyes not even attempting to go over to the food he so much needed. Yugi not eating worried all the wolves greatly; Marik finely snapped and walked over to Yugi.
"Yugi you NEED to eat if you don't we WILL force you," Marik said with a hint of growl in it which startled Yugi into walking over and standing near the wolves who stopped to watch him eat just to be sure he ate at all. Yugi hesitated in eating and eyed it like it would kill him if he even sniffed it, "Yugi it won't kill you just eat," Marik said nudging the younger one forward.
"Fine…" Yugi said softly and started eating which satisfied the rest of the wolves, 'this is nasty, it tastes like ash in my mouth…' Yugi could only bare the taste of meat for so long until he had to stop which Yugi only managed to eat about 2 ½ bites before leaving the rest to the others and walking off. Yami was eyeing Yugi from the corner of his eyes the whole time and watched as the young wolf left the rest of his meal.
"Atemu, Yugi left his food," Yami talked lowly to be sure everyone heard him except for Yugi himself.
"We need to make sure he eats," Heba said worriedly, "Seeing as he is a walking skeleton with fur," the others nodded in agreement.
"So who gets to talk to Yugi," All the wolves starred at Malik who was cleaning his swollen stomach, "What, Why me?" Malik whined.
"It will be good practice for you Malik and besides you will have to get use to telling people to sit down and eat when you have your pups," Seto pointed out as Malik pouted and carefully got up and slowly walked over to Yugi.
Yugi sighed as he got to the river in the habitat the other wolves use to bathe and drink from, 'I can't eat even though I know my body needs it, Bakura would make me eat and then eat it himself just to prove to me he won't go hungry.' Yugi smiled as he pictured them doing just that if he hadn't bitten Atemu just to protect him.
"Yugi…" Malik's voice made Yugi jump out of his fur and turn around, "Why didn't you finish eating your fill?" Malik said gently as he walked over to the younger male.
"Does it really matter?" Yugi said quietly as he laid down on the soft grass.
"Yes Yugi it does, do you not know how worried you made us when you didn't even eat half have it," Yugi remained silent as Malik sighed and sat next to him with their fur brushing slightly, "Even though we meet today we care about you," Malik felt Yugi tense at that but soon relaxed and leaned into his touch.
"How long until you have your pups…?" Yugi said softly which surprised Malik.
"One more month…Yugi you miss your first litter greatly don't you?" Yugi starred at the ground and only nodded his head slightly, "How many pups did you have?"
"…five…five pups," Yugi choked with tears dripping to the ground, Malik laid down next to Yugi has he buried his muzzle Malik's fur and sobbed for a good while till he fell asleep lying next to him.
Malik's gaze softened a great deal from talking to Yugi, 'It must have been hard for him to tell me how many pups he lost total-' a snap of a twig got Malik out of his thoughts and woken Yugi up who jumped to his feet and was ready to take off.
"Yugi don't run away," Atemu's voice sounded as the larger black wolf came out and stood in front of them, Yugi relaxed some but was still tense. The small group went into a confortable silence as the sun began to go down and everyone called for their mates to come to the dens.
"Yugi you can go into one of the spare dens the humans made a while ago," Seto exclaimed as he pointed out a den in between Yami's and Atemu's den and Seto and Joey's. Yugi nodded his thanks as he headed for the den his first night without Bakura.
Bakura glared daggers at the humans who were around the cage he was in, after attempting to bite Vivian, Solomon places a much hated muzzle on him but that didn't stop him from growling. After refusing to eat the meat the zoo keepers gave him Vivian sighed and left him alone after he somehow chewed though an IV tube with the muzzle on.
'Damn these humans, I need to get back to Yugi, knowing his mind he would have horrible night mares about THAT night' Bakura thought sadly as he heard some of the keepers talking.
"This wolf's body is getting use to the tranquilizers and we can't risk giving the wolf a stronger tranquilizer without causing harm to him," Vivian sighed to another vet with short brown hair, blue/grey eyes, and a dark skin tone, "What do you think we should do Anzu?" Anzu could only shake her head.
"I was observing the silver wolf's mate and noticed that he only eat a couple of bites of his food as well and that is not healthy for either of them they are already skinny enough as is. Also judging from the black wolf's health it seems he still has milk from when he had his pups what ever happened to them god only knows. Should we stop his milk flow?" Anzu asked but Vivian only shook her head at the idea.
"I don't know which herb will do that for the poor dear and we can't go around testing it either I say we leave the new arrivals alone and see if they will force each other to eat if not we will have to either force feed them or set them back free into the wild," Vivian said sadly, which made Bakura slightly happy.
Yugi twitch in his sleep on the ground of the man-made den as his past memories turned his once lovely dream into an endless night mare.
YUGI'S DREAM/ YUGI'S POV
I sat on a hill with Bakura, our fur brushing each other as I lay down my feet and back were killing me as I was about 1 ½ months along with my pregnancy. I had snuggled closer to Bakura who was currently licking me trying to sooth me in a much needed rest which seemed to work. I felt Bakura's tongue stop half way through the strokes as he got up with his ears perked, I looked at him with worry in my eyes.
"Don't worry Love, I will be right back, stay right here," Bakura said as dashed off heading to the packs camp. Ignoring the pain in my lower back I got up and started pacing as each passing minute went by when I heard it. A gun shoot was fire somewhere around my area which sent me dashing for the camp, with the much needed adrenaline I saw Bakura looking down on the camp in horror, "Don't look Yugi," my mate's warning came late went I glanced at the camp my eyes widening as I saw blood splattered across the ground, trees, and dens with all of the pack member's bodies on the ground unmoving. Shots were heard in the air as I could see the hunters coming down to collect the furs of my former family.
"Ba-Bakura we need to g-go now," I stumbled over my words as I got my mates attention and he came to my side.
"Yes we do,"
"We can't leave the bodies here for the hunters…"
"We have no choice," Bakura said sadly.
The image changed to a den which sent horror throughout my body as I saw myself pregnant about a month from having my pups, slowly starve from the hunters cutting off food for me to talk care of the pups I had once carried. I turned around to see Bakura holding up a pitiful looking sparrow and dropping it at my feet as I bite into it.
The scene changed again when I saw myself and Bakura skinner then before, I saw myself howl in pain as contractions of my birth hit me.
"Ku-Kura pl-please wait out-outside until I have finished," I begged my mate I loved very dearly as he hesitated and nodded.
Soon after what seemed like years I saw myself howling in grief as two white pups, one black pup, and two black and white pups with a golden trend to their fur lay on the ground unmoving with myself curled around them un willing to accept I had lost my pups.
Bakura came in and howled a sad song in hopes of god to let my pups rest in peace, taking turns I saw Kura take the pups one by one out of the den with me to follow as the last one was taken.
Arriving to a whole dug in the ground Bakura and I laid the pups down and slowly covered them with the frozen dirt and snow of the winter. My mates nails were in horrible conditions along with the rest of his body for we had not eaten in 4 days and even are last meal didn't fill us up for we had scrawny little forest mice.
"Gi- Yugi…" a voice sounded in my head as the scene's slowly turned white.
NORMAL POV
Yugi woke up with tears running down his muzzle as he looked to see who had woken him, looking around he saw his mate looking down at him.
"Are you ok love?" Bakura asked gently as Yugi buried his muzzle in his mate's fur.
"I miss them so much…" Yugi cried out. Bakura didn't have to ask who he missed for Bakura knew that he himself missed the pups that were born dead.
Kura: What the fuck took you so long to make this?
Me: Not my faults blame the school!
Kura: (scoffs) and why would I blame the school!
Yugi: Kura she started school back up again lay off her (gives him puppy dog eyes.
Kura: …. (Drags Yugi into another room)
Me: Please review!
