Yami had mentally prepared for little "nice period" thing, he was not happy about having to act nice towards guards that had threatened his life with those blasted copper-sticks they keep with them. He sat on his bed not looking happy at all.

"So, are you prepared for this?" Yugi asked.

"Not one bit, but let's go for it I suppose" Yami answered.

"With that grumpy attitude you're not getting anywhere Yami" Yugi said crossing his arms. Yami snorted but rested his head on his pillow staring up at the ceiling.

"For Atemu" Yugi said, smiling up at Yami, hearing him sigh.

"I know, I'll try… but who knows, heh, the guards may even see through my act" Yami said.

"You really have to be more optimistic if you're gonna do this Yami, seriously, one might think you were your own race, the "pessimistic demon" one" Yugi said, trying to lighten up the mood with a joke he knew Yami wouldn't really appreciate anyway. Yugi skipped away to the bars of the cell where one of the gurds stood.

"ehm, mister guard sir" Yugi began as the guard turned around. "May I go and have a shower later today, and may Yami come too?" Yugi asked as nice as he could muster with a pessimistic demon in his cell.

"Very well, you may. You can go in an hour," The guard said turning around again. Yugi went back to his bed silently cheering with a fist pump.

"See! Everything works if you're nice" Yugi cheered hanging on the railing of Yamis bed.

"I can't ask for a shower every day" Yami said and the smile on Yugis face disappeared in an instant.

"If your gonna be that pessimistic then don't count on me helping you!" Yugi said, clearly angry. Hopping down from the bed and stomping over to his bed and lay down. Yami let out a sigh wondering if Atemu would be able to act nice.

With Atemu

Atemu had suddenly turned very positive, being slightly out of character, being very nice towards the guards and asking for permission for different things. He was promised to go out in the yard once a month to do as he pleased as long as he behaved. Today wasn't the first day he had acted nice, he had been acting somewhat nice towards the guards before he got the thoughts from the boy. Today was his first day to walk out of the cell, he didn't expect Yami to be let out yet, after all it was the day after he got the message from the boy. Plus and he knew that Yamis temper would get the better of him. He walked out into the room seeing it was full with other demons.

Everybody stared at the new demon when he walked in, a face they haven't seen before, that only meant that he had to be new in this prison, which only meant fresh meat. One big demon walked up to Atemu and looked him up and down. The demon that had walked up to Atemu was a big guy with huge(!) muscles. Atemu stood his ground staring up at the other demon.

"Are you new here, boy?" The demon asked gripping the tri coloured hair from behind his head, lifting him up to be in eye level with each other. Atemu smirked knowing he hadn't been seen outside his cell before. He set his clawed feet on the abs of the other demon shoving him to the floor. The other demon lost the grip of Atemus hair and fell to the ground Atemu still standing, he set a foot on his chest to prevent the other to rise up.

"No." Atemu answered curtly.

With Yami and Yugi

+ 1 hour later

As promised, the guards let Yugi and Yami out to have a shower. All the way there the guard kept their copper sticks against Yamis back. Yami cast a glace towards the guard before sighing.

"Would you please put down the copper, I know that if I would do something wrong, I would end up dead poisoned by that, so please put it away?" Yami (actually) pleaded, both the guards and Yugi was flabbergasted with the pleading. It took a couple of seconds to register but the guards nodded and put it back and Yugi broke out in a huge grin. Yami relaxed for the first time since he was in the presence of the guards and let his tail trail behind him on the floor.

After they were done Yami was completely relaxed after the hot shower and Yugi was relaxed both from the shower and finding out that an incubus wouldn't kidnap/rape him again. When they were let in to their cell again Yugi threw himself into Yamis arms making him stumble backwards from the sudden weight.

"Yay!" Yugi cheered, Yami blinked down at him.

"What's up with the huggy and cheering mood?" Yami asked perplexed, trying to pry Yugi away from the death grip he had around his middle.

"One step closer at least, I'm proud of you!" Yugi cheered and let go. "And here I thought you couldn't be nice? But you blew my mind out with the pleading, didn't know you had it in you" Yugi continued.

"Sush you" Yami said ruffling Yugis hair, walking over to his bed. Yugi smiled after him but followed his lead and lay down on his own bed.

A couple of hours later both of them were almost dozing of into sleep, but Yugi just had to get something off his heart.

"Yami?" Yugi asked. When he received no answer he tried again only a little louder this time "Yami?".

"Hmm?" Yami answered.

"Can I ask something?" Yugi asked a little uncertain still.

"Mmh"

"Well, I know that you once a month receive a human meal, and that I was supposed to be your meal that day. Eh…. Why have you let me live?" Yugi asked and the guards outside the cell were actually quite interested in the answer.

"You really think there is no good in me? The race I am is the one with the highest senses of hearing, smelling and we can hear people's thoughts and see how pure or un-pure his or her soul is. I wanted to keep you as a little company, since it was such a long time ago I had one. The other "meals" I had delivered here were very un-pure, their soul tainted with greed and evil. But I suppose you're just that special" Yami explained.

"But how could I possibly be pure if I have killed?" Yugi asked, flattered by Yamis words but just not understanding how he could be counted in as the pure kind of person.

"Did you kill on your own free will?" Yami asked, almost knowing the answer already.

Yugi sighed.

"No, no I didn't, my parents made me do it, they forced me to kill different people, if I wouldn't I would get punished by them, but then I suppose I just couldn't stand it anymore and killed them… which doesn't make any sense to your theory right?" Yugi explained.

"Self defence?"

"Against?"

"Your parents, to keep them from forcing or threatening you" Yami said, "otherwise I would have sensed the tainted part of your soul" Yami continued. Yugi sighed in defeat.

"Well, I suppose I'm flattered" Yugi said and smiled up at Yami.

"mmmhp" he got as an answer from Yami, slightly muffled by the pillow, Yugi giggled lowly and laid down for a good night sleep.
