Chapter Four: Dragon's Breath

Yugi sighed and stretched as he walked down the hallway towards his next class. It was his final class of the day, and he wanted to get it over with before anything bad happened to him.

"School is rough here, but at least I have some good friends to back me up," the vampire smiled to himself, skipping down the hallways with a cheer to himself. As he skipped by, someone was leaning against the lockers.

It was a tall male with staright brown hair and deep blue eyes. The boy was expressionless, and he seemed to be staring off into space, not thinking of anything at the moment. When Yugi walked by, the boy spoke up.

"Yugi Mouto... right?" he asked. Yugi stopped and looked back slowly.

"Yeah... That's my name. And who are you?" the star-haired vampire asked in a confused voice. The brunette sighed and leaned back against the lockers before sighing.

"My name is Seto Kaiba. And this Academy is no place for a slacker who can't even fight his own battles," he said in a cold voice. Yugi raised an eyebrow in confusion as to what the brunette meant.

"What are you talking about?" he asked. Kaiba smirked and turned his back on the vampire.

"I've seen how you fight. It's totally different from who you usually are, Yugi. You're always such a simple child, calm and innocent. But when you start fighting..." the brunette said, looking back at Yugi.

"You act like you're a totally different person," he said in a cold, suspicious voice. Yugi gulped, afraid that Kaiba had discovered about his Vampir mode. Unknown to everyone else, Yugi had no clue what went on as a Vampir.

He was, quite litteraly, another person when he fought.

"I-I have no idea what you're saying..." Yugi whispered as he glanced away, his amethyst eyes going wide with shock. Kaiba smirked at Yugi's expression before he walked off towards another classroom.

"I want to meet him... I want to fight him..." Kaiba said before glancing back at Yugi. He spoke one final sentance before vanishing down the hallway towards his next class.

"The other Yugi..."

PUZZLESHIPPING 4 EVER

Next Day...

Yugi mused over Kaiba's words, wondering if he really should allow Vampir to come out and fight him. For some reason, Vampir always tried and saved Yugi when he needed it, but Yugi was afraid.

Afraid that Vampir might hurt one of his friends. Or worse... Yami.

'No! I will not turn into Vampir ever again! No matter what happens, I will fight with my own strength!' Yugi thought, shaking his head violently. As he did, he felt a hand land on his shoulder, and he looked up.

"Say, Yugi, are you all right?" Ryou asked, standing right behind Yugi. Jonouchi strode over from the rest of the gang and stood over Yugi, staring down at him with concern on his face.

"You've been quiet today, Yuge. Anything buggin' ya?" Jonouchi asked in a serious tone. Yugi slowly shook his head and faked a smile as he glanced ahead to the classroom and smirked.

"N-no. Nothing is wrong with me. I'm fine..." he whispered in a calm voice. Jonouchi nodded in an unsure fashion before looking back at the gang and nodding to Yami. Yami nodded back and then looked over at the door as Kaiba came striding in.

"Hello, Yugi. have you given thought to my request yesterday?" the brunette asked with a smirk. Yugi gasped and shook his head violently.

"I will not! I won't become Vampir no matter what you say!" he shouted in a loud voice. Kaiba nodded slowly and then looked into Yugi's eyes with a serious look, a smile touching his lips.

"Then I have ways of making you fight..." he said in a cold voice. Suddenly, without any warning, Kaiba shot his arm out and connected it with Ryou's stomach, forcing the silverette back. Ryou gave a loud cry as he hit the wall. Yugi gasped.

"Ryou-chan!!" he cried out. Bakura spun around at the sound of Ryou's name being called, and he gasped when he saw Ryou spit up a bit of blood and slowly rise to his feet, gasping in pain before collapsing again.

"Why you rotten-!" Jonouchi hollered as he swung his fist at Kaiba, who merely ducked and grasped Jonouchi by the wrist. In a simple throw, he tossed the werewolf towards the wall and slammed him into it.

"Urgh!" Jonouchi grunted as he slid to the wall in a pained fashion. He coughed a bit and sputtered up some blood before glaring over at the brunette with an angry look. "W-why you..."

"That's quite enough!" Malik shouted, forcing his bat wings out of his back and taking to the sky. He dove at the brunette and grasped his arm, trying to fight him. Kaiba gave a 'hmph' and then grasped Malik's tail before hurling him at the wall.

"Ahn!" Malik cried out as he crumpled to the ground next to Jonouchi and Ryou, spitting up some blood. Marik growled in anger as his lover was tossed, and he dove for Kaiba, claws extended.

"Bring it, incubus!" Kaiba shouted as he grabbed Marik by the neck and hurled him towards the wall. Marik stopped himself and flew back, trying to kick Kaiba in the stomach, but Kaiba counter attacked and kicked him right back. Bakura glanced up as his friend was hit.

"That's enough of that!" he hollered, running at the brunette. His eyes glew red, and in an instant, he grew claws and a thin, devil-like spiked tail came from behind him. He swung around and blasted beams of purple energy at the brunette.

"That all you got, demon?" Kaiba laughed as he leaped into the air and landed gracefully, having dodged every one of Bakura's attacks. Yugi watched in horror as Kaiba grasped Bakura by the throat and flung him at the wall.

The silverette demon smashed into it, hacking up a ton of blood before crumpling to the ground, moaning in pain. Yami stared in horror as his friends were wounded, and he then glanced up in fear.

"You... monster... How dare you?!" the star-haired mummy shouted as his eyes glew bright red. He immediatly dove at Kaiba, swinging his legs at him and clawing him, actually managing to tear him up a bit.

Kaiba finally had enough and grasped Yami's leg, lifting him up and then smashing him onto the ground hard, forcing Yami to spit up a stream of crimson blood. Yugi gasped in horror as Yami was wounded.

"T-that's... it..." Yugi whispered as his shoulders shuddered, his head lowering as his bangs covered his eyes. His fangs grew slightly longer, glowing bright white with evil. Yugi shuddered as he grew slightly stronger. Suddenly, his head snapped up and revealed Vampir's eyes.

"NOW I'M PISSED!!!!!" he hollered with a loud hiss.

BRONZESHIPPING 4 EVER

Kaiba reeled back slightly in fear as Vampir Yugi appeared before him. The star-haired vampire hissed loudly and ran a tongue over his long fangs, his lavender eyes filled with total rage.

"How dare you? How dare you come into this palce and hurt my friends? You'll pay for it," Yugi growled angrilly, stepping forward in a threatening fashion. Kaiba shuddered and then smirked.

"I've been wanting to meet you for a long time, Vampir. Now I can release my full powers on you," he said with a smirk. Kaiba's eyes glew bright blue, and he lurched forward. Tugging came from his shirt and soon, something burst from it.

Large, white dragon wings.

Kaiba flapped his wings and took to the skies, giving a loud growl of total anger and threats. Yugi smirked and licked his fangs once again before raising his hand into the air, his claws glowing.

"So, a dragon, are you? Well, darling. Let's fight, shall we?" he asked in a scary tone. Kaiba opened his mouth, which filled instantly with blue fire, and he spat the fire at Yugi, who flipped and took to the skies.

Kaiba gasped as Yugi appeared behind him, grabbing his long white dragon tail in his fist. The brunette glanced over in shock as he stared deeply into Yugi's purple eyes, which were filled with wild rage.

"Learn... your place!" he shouted before raising his leg and kicking Kaiba harshly in the head, forcing the brunette dragon to go flying backwards and smash into the wall. As Yugi landed, Kaiba shook rubble off his head.

"Nice. I like it. You're quite the fighter, ain't ya, Yugi? I was right, you are a different person when you fight," the brunette said. Yugi smiled and raised his claws into the air again.

"I said, learn your place. This obviously isn't it, so run away screaming like everyone else. You can't kill me, Dragon Breath," the vampire smirked evilly, his lavender eyes flashing. Kaiba smirked.

"Yes, I can't kill you, my dear Vampir. But I can kill everyone else here..." the brunette smirked before grabbing Yami by the throat and yanking his high into the air, cackling evilly.

"This is too fun! I'm having a great time fighting you, Yugi! It'd be boring if you were any normal monster, but obviously, you're not!" Kaiba hollered with wicked laughter.

"STOP IT, NIISAMA!!"

PUZZLESHIPPING 4 EVER

Kaiba gasped at the sudden voice and looked over, gasping when he saw a smaller boy with long black hair standing in the doorway of the empty classroom, staring up at him with sad eyes.

"Mokuba? What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at school!" Kaiba shouted to the boy. Mokuba shook his head and stepped forward with his arms outstretched.

"No, Niisama. This isn't right! You already know how powerful you are! Why do you need to proove it by fighting Yugi?" Mokuba shouted to his older brother. Kaiba shook his head and slowly dropped Yami to the ground.

"It's not about me... It's about being better than a vampire!" he shouted, leaping into the air and diving at Yugi. Yugi gasped and glanced over at Kaiba, his eyes wide with terror. Yami gasped.

"Yugi, no!!" he shouted, noticing how Yugi couldn't dodge any of the attacks. Kaiba neared Yugi with rage in his eyes, and then he released a loud gasp of terror.

Mokuba leaped protectively in front of Yugi.

Kaiba jerked to a stop and flapped his wings to stay airborne and to keep his attack from hitting Mokuba. He stared at his brother in shock, his eyes filling with horror. "Why? Why are you helping them?"

"You already know that you're the best. You have to stop this useless fighting, Niisama. It's so stupid!" Mokuba said in a calm voice. Kaiba shuddered and then slowly landed on the ground, his wings and tail vanishing.

"Then I'll stop fighting them... for you, little bro," he whispered, giving his brother a hug. Yugi smiled and then closed his eyes before turning back to normal. His eyes opened and he glanced around.

"Eh? What happened? OH MY GOD! Yami, are you okay!?" Yugi hollered before running over to check is Yami was okay. When Yami said that he was fine, Yugi went over to check if the others were okay.

Everyone was fine.

TENDERSHIPPING 4 EVER

"Soooo.... Kaiba, can we be friends?" Yugi asked once everyone was bandaged up from their injuries. Kaiba raised an eyebrow in confusion as Yugi asked the question to him.

"Really? I attack you and beat your friends senseless and you wanna be friends?" the brunette asked in shock. Yugi smiled and nodded quickly before looking around at all his other friends.

"Yeah, of course. We forgive you for hurting us, and we all wanna have friends, not enemies! So please, will you be friends?" Yugi asked with a small smile. Kaiba stayed emotionless before smirking.

"Friendship is a while away. I still can't trust the other you for the time being, since I know his strength," the brunette said before he walked past Yugi and then stopped. He turned and smiled kindly, which looked strange for him.

"But we can stay rivals... for the time being. Until I can trust both of 'you'. Just one to go," he said before walking to the end of the classroom. Yugi smiled and clapped happily while jumping up and down to display his joy.

A rival that trusted you was better than an enemy.
