Chapter 4

Title: Kingdom of Blood

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or its characters!

There is blood and slight gore in this chapter. Don't like? Suggest you turn back now! Don't say I didn't warn you!

Seto sighed and let himself fall from the tree and landed on his feet in a crouched position and looked ahead of him and decided to walk in the direction of his kingdom instead of using his vampire speed to take him there faster. He really didn't want to go back there but knew he didn't really have a choice in the matter. Maybe just maybe one of his people will have a nice human he could feed from when he got back since he missed the chance he thought he had earlier.

It didn't take forever like he thought it would have to reach his kingdom. When he arrived his subjects were there to greet them with their fists over their hearts and their neck bore to him to show their respect to him and to show submission. If they were ever to displease him, all he had to do was drain them of all the blood in their body before snapping their neck to finish the job. Now rarely did he ever do it but in the times where he did he made sure that they watched. He wanted them to know that he wasn't afraid to take their life from them. He wanted to be respected and feared. That way no one would dare fuck with him or try to take his leadership from him.

His kingdom was covered in a spell so no human eye could ever see it or even know of its exisistance. It was huge and castle like all of his family lived there and hade it made. It was full of maids and others that would do any vampires command. They were humans that were under Seto's compulsion and knew only what he wanted them to know. All the rooms in his kingdom were huge, a house in a room. It had everything a vampire could possibly need.

Seto's favorite and most trusted vampire stood at the gate awaiting him.

"My king you have returned, did your adventure do you well?" he said putting his fist over his heart and bearing his neck to him. This man had spiky tri-colored hair. He was a vampire but still showed his respect like all the others did.

Seto returned the respectful gesture with a slight bow of his head and sighed.

"Sadly Atem, they did not." His deep voice cutting through the slight breeze around them.

"What happened out there tonight?" Atem said as he and Seto walked through the gates and up to the castle that was the kingdom.

Seto sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "Nothing to worry yourself about Atem, I am fine."

"My king you look rather pale tonight, have you not feed?" he asked as they walked up the stairs to the door and opened it for him.

Seto simply shook his head as he entered the castle doors and stood in the great room and sniffed the air. It smelled like home, a safe place to the dangers that face him and his family of vampires, but this time there was a nice smelling human scent that filled the air around him. His eyes grew the deep blood red and his fangs grew from his gums and he smirked and looked at Atem who returned the smirk.

"I sensed that you might not get your blood tonight so I went out and found a lovely human for you to feed from," he spoke with mirth as motioned for one of the servants to get the human and bring them to Seto, who's smirk widened as he licked his lips. He was so hungry and he was very happy that Atem had brought him one to feed from.

Seto decided he was a little tired from the night's events and went into one of the main gathering rooms and too a seat in his throne and began to talk to Atem while they waited for the servant to bring the human.

"Tell me if I'm wrong here but when you had the little one in your life his blood was the sweetest things you had ever smelt or tasted am I correct?" he asked as he looked at Atem.

Seto's best friend and most trusted vampire was gay and he had had a lover for a long time. But he was killed by one of the vampires who thought they could take down Seto and his kingdom. Atem didn't like to talk about it but if his king were to ask questions he had no choice but to answer him.

"Yes…his blood was so sweet it made you long for it that if you didn't you would do anything you could possibly think of to get some of it." He said and diverted his eyes to the ground and folded his arms across his chest. "But why do you ask about my mate?"

"I was just curious is all, I'm sorry for bringing it up Atem. I know how much it hurts you to talk about the little one." He said with all respect for his friend.

"I know, don't worry about it. Have you happened to come across your soul mate in your little adventure tonight?" he looked up at him and smirked knowing that it would only bother Seto to talk about things that had to do with his non exisistant love life.

"I told you I was just curious." He stated with a glare in his direction.

Atem laughed a deep laugh and smirked, knowing he hit a nerve one he didn't feel like messing with, at least not until Seto had his blood. "Alright, alright I give." He said and then watched as the servant brought the human in and close to the throne.

"Here you are my king..." the servant said as she put her fist over her heart and bore her neck. Seto just waved his hand to shoo her away and she in returned bowed and left the room.

Seto looked at the human and smirked. It was a male, probably in his 20's with golden hair much like Joey's only difference was the eye color and well it wasn't Joey. "Have you put him under your compulsion Atem he seems very obedient." He said as he graciously moved from his throne and down towards the human.

"Well of course my lord. He was very feisty." Atem smirked and leaned against one of the stone pillars and watched his best friend circle the human with hungry eyes.

"Now it's my turn to play." Seto said and smirked taking Atem's compulsion away and watched as the human started to figure out where he was and who was around him.

"What-where-who-" He stuttered and then looked at everything around him becoming more and more confused and scared before he noticed that Seto was standing just a little to close to him and nearly jumped out of his skin. Seto had his fangs bared and licked his lips.

"Don't worry this wont hurt much…" he said and grabbed the boy's hair and yanked his head back and licked up the side of his neck. The boy screamed and began to try and get away from him making Seto laugh his deep disturbing laugh.

"No one can hear you but the other vampires, do you want to excite them and feed from you too?" he asked with mirth lacing his deep velvet voice.

The boy gulped and tried to get Seto to free his grasp from his hair. Seto just pulled the boy's back to his chest and ran his hand down the boy's side and around to the front where he took his nails and dug them slightly into the boy's chest causing the blood to begin to flow from the cuts, receiving a nice scream of pain and agony from the boy along with a sharp and pain filled gasp, which only made Seto shudder in excitement before dragging his nails up the boys skin causing even more of the tasty blood to come from his chest.

Atem stood there smirking and watched Seto play with his food and licked his lips. Seto always knew how to excite any vampire that dared to watch him feed from a human.

"Want to share Atem, it wouldn't be fair if only I enjoyed what you brought back." He said slowly and kissed the boy's neck right where the main vain stood out against the boys pale skin, causing the boy to shudder in disgust.

"Let me go! Get the hell off me yo-y-you freak!" Seto tightened his grip on the boy's hair and yanked.

"I did not tell you to speak!" he yelled anger lacing his voice making him seem powerful.

Atem smirked. "Gladly.." he said and pulled away from the wall and went over to the boy dropping to his knees in front of him and licking the blood from his chest that was flowing down and gathering around his pants.

Seto watched him lap up the blood and shuddered. No he did not think he was gay, he didn't want to believe it but this scene was defiantly exciting him in places it shouldn't , but he was too far gone to his blood lust that at the moment he didn't give a shit at how this was making him feel.

Seto again licked the boy's neck all the while the boy screamed and tried to get away from them fighting with all the strength he had in his lean body. Seto got frustrated and then bit down harshly into the pulsing vain from the boy's neck and began to suck up all the blood he could while Atem ripped the boys chest to pieces licking and sucking up all the blood he could. The boy screamed louder and eventually he couldn't scream any more and passed out from blood loss and slumped back against Seto's body. Both of them continued to take all the blood they could until they completely drained the human from all the blood in his body. Once the point was reached he pulled away from the boy's neck and licked his lips. Blood was all over his face and all over his clothes. He smirked and looked down at Atem who looked up at him and smirked.

"Did you enjoy this little human, my lord?" he asked standing to his feet and wiping off his own face with the back of his hand. Seto dropped the boy and yelled for one of his servants to come dispose of the body before wiping his mouth and sitting back in his throne.

A few of the servants came into the room and drug the body out while the others brought things to clean up the blood that was splattered all over the floor where they had been feeding.

"You always pick the ones that like to fight back." He said his voice all slow and sexy sounding.

"Those are your favorite, my king. They seem to excite your senses quite a bit." He said with a chuckle. "Would you like to tell me about the boy you took into the hospital this evening my king?"

"Leave me." He said with anger dripping from his velvet voice and shooed Atem out of the room and then leaned his head back against his throne trying to ignore his ragging hard on.

'What the fuck is wrong with me?' he thought and groaned out loud. He couldn't help but to have an image of Joey flash through his head.

Sorry for the forever long time to update my story. It's like 5am so I hope it doesn't sound stupid. And to those of you who wanted to know how Seto knew it that Joey's name was Joey is because he can read peoples mind. That was something I wanted to come up later in the story but I think its ok to know about it now so it all can make sense. You'll find out something pretty cool later on when I get further into my story that has to do with reading minds. Please R&R!!!

Love all my fans,
