Chapter 6: Venom

In the Underworld, Zorc had noticed a disturbance in the midst on the human plain. Frowning, he wondered what it could be. Then his mind went straight to the celestials. It made sense, figuring that Dartz is still sore about losing so often against him. Hearing the swift movement of feet approaching him, he saw his partner burst into where he's currently located. Moving close to the demon, Akefia bowed before sitting down in his respective place on his lap. Wrapping an arm around him, he raised a brow, wondering what could be discerning to him.

"We have a problem," stated the gray eyed stitched-up male bluntly.

"Oh?" He questioned in response, knowing this though he suspected his soon to be husband would know more about it than himself.

"You know that Dartz would send his guardians to deal with their little problems," answered Akefia with one of his brows twitching in annoyance of the thought of their plans being meddled with, knowing no matter what they would triumph in the end considering good and evil aren't inherently one or the other as hero can be villains and vice versa.

"That's to be expected, love. He's still sore that he hasn't won once against me thus far during our millenniums of this war between light and dark," purred the obsidian haired demon, seeing his pet step forward to then grab him by the hips to place him securely on his lap, having him nestle comfortably against him.

"He never will so long as we live. It's true you know….there's no rest for the wicked."

Back in the mortal plain the hikari have completed their mission in full that lasted from Saturday morning to near evening. At least they had manage to take out the alpha that Anzu and Mai wanted them to slay. Having been given their rewards, each of them went their separate ways to return back home to their partners who would be waiting for them. They all gave one another farewells of course. They would see one another again in school on Monday.

Alone with his thoughts, Ryou wondered what Bakura had been up to during his leave of absence to complete his mission. Going back to his apartment, he unlocked it. What he did notice is that he seemed to have something or someone lurking in his shadow. Going in while locking up behind him, he saw the silverette manifest within his home. Smiling softly, Ryou went over to throw his arms around him, holding the icy undead male close, glad to see him again after having dealt with having to kill something. Normally Ryou is against violence except when it comes to survival. Keeping himself alive along with his friends is another matter entirely. It's one of the few things that will break his rule to give cause for him to fight.

"Did you have fun?" Purred Bakura, leaning down to capture his partner's lips in a tender kiss before pulling away to leave him panting lightly.

"I-I guess s-so," blushed the almond eyed male, being dragged to his sofa before being placed on the other male's lap, curling up against him, finding warmth and comfort within the coldness, having grown used to how his counterpart is like.

"We'll go meet up with the others in a bit. I wanted some time with you first," admitted the ruby eyed immortal, not knowing why something so innocent could draw out emotions he had thought buried deep down inside of him long ago, looking down at him curiously. "What is it about you that's different than any other human I've met?"

"Um, I-I don't know," admitted Ryou, averting his gaze away from him for a moment before returning it to peer up at his supposed lover. "It could be that we're soulmates."

This caused Bakura to snort lightly in response, "Is that a real thing? Is that why I'm so drawn to someone that's my complete opposite?"

"Yes, it is. Just trust me on this, ok?" Ryou leaned up, pressing his lips softly against his before pulling away, having hazel meet with amber. "I know some things, 'Kura. Being with you is something that just feels right."

"Good answer. We'll have it sorted out. Now, go get washed up and changed into some clean clothes. We'll be heading out in an hour or so to meet up with the rest in the crypt."

When Yugi returned home he didn't expect to see his other half appear before him. Blinking in surprise, he didn't know what to say or think. No, he didn't recall inviting the vampire into his home. Though he guessed considering they had made a bond of sorts that it did give him access to his home. Brushing it aside for now, he went to his room to get cleaned up and changed into some fresh clean clothes. When he finished up, Yugi didn't care if Yami watched him. Smirking lightly, he gave a wink before bending down, letting his supposed lover get a good look of what he can have whenever he pleased. Raising a brow, Yami can't help except to feel amused by this display. When he finished up, he went over to him to wrap his arms around him. Due to his short stature, Yugi only came up to a bit above Yami's waist more or less. It didn't bother either of them in the slightest bit.

"How is this going to work?" Asked the shorter starfish quietly, squaring out of surprise when Yami picked him up to sit down on his bed with him on his lap.

"It'll be fine. Are you nervous about becoming like me?" He asked, noticing his voice did seem to calm down his partner along with making him feel comforted, relaxing against Yami comfortably.

"No, that's not it at all. It's just with this whole mess going on," sighed Yugi, knowing nothing is going to be easy; especially when there seemed to be new auras having entered the city recently. "Haven't you sensed it?"

"The angels? Yes, I have. They're one of our main enemies," explained the leech, running a hand through his counterpart's hair gently, feeling him lean into his touch.

"But why? You guys aren't haphazardly killing bitches right and left. You just take those to fill your hunger," pouted Yugi, not understanding the reasoning behind why those from the afterlife would want to get rid of them.

"It's because they deem us as evil creatures that just want to kill for the sake of it," answered his partner in resignation, not liking it either except it's just how it is. "Anyways, let's not talk further about it right now. There's still some time before we need to go see the others. There's something important I need to ask you."

"Um, what would that be?" He asked tentatively, unsure if he really wanted to know or not.

"Do you want to be turned now or later? If we wait then there's a greater chance of complications arising from our enemies of trying to take you from me. But if we do it now then we can negate some of it," offered Yami, knowing this is a tough decision he's asking him to decide on even though he knows he's more than capable of figuring out what he wanted, hoping he'd agree to it because he had no idea what he would do if he's taken away from him.

Weighing his options, Yugi needed to think about this for a few minutes or so. It's indeed a great scale being placed on his shoulders to choose. But he does love Yami in some strange way or another. Somehow he's one of the few that can handle his spitfire nature without reverting to extreme methods to change his ways. With some effort, he reached up to kiss him deeply, pulling away when he needed to regain some much needed oxygen.

"Do it before I change my mind. This isn't something I regret nor want to go back on," he told him in a serious tone. "I do love you, Yam. I don't want to die someday while you live on without me. That probably sounds fucking selfish, but I don't care."

"Very well then. Let's cross the threshold of no return together."

Meanwhile, in the Kaiba mansion, Jonouchi had turned on his side, still recovering from all that's happened thus far. What the others don't know is that Seto isn't exactly like the other vampires. There's something different about him. It's something he can't put his finger on. Hearing footsteps approach, he looked up to be met by his partner's icy cobalt gaze staring back at him. Coming over, he went to sit down beside him on the king sized bed. Cupping his face in his linen gloved hands, the blonde leaned into his touch.

"You're in no shape to go to the meeting tonight," said Seto simply, leaving no room for argument. "Being turned will take some time of you getting used to it. Here, drink this."

Placing the contents of a medical bag to Jonouchi's lips, he began drinking it greedily. The ruby liquid replenished his strength. It still would take him a bit of getting used to drinking blood. Knowing it's old hat for the brunette does bother him, wondering how long it had taken him after he'd been changed way back when. After the bag is emptied, Seto put the plastic container in the trash bin before returning his attention back to him. There would be matters that they did need to discuss.

"Dartz's forces have been sent. We have to be on high alert when they come for us. It'll take some time, but soon enough we'll have to be prepared to fight. There's a chance that some of us might not make it. But we'll show them that we won't back down like they want us to."

Eeps, done with chappie six! I hope you all enjoyed. The next chappie will be out shortly enough. Until then, please remember to review, darlings!
