"Yami, I should warn you," Yugi began after there fourth round of kissing.

"What's that?"

"My friends followed me here. There downstairs with Akana and Star."

At the mention of his lover's human friends Yami bristled some. He didn't want anyone upsetting his Little One, and all Yugi mostly said were negative things about them. Yugi though sighed loud enough to catch his attention.

"Please be nice Yami. They may be annoying at times but I still do care about them. What they do they do because they believe they're helping me. I've kept his part of my live from everyone. Including my Grampa. So please?"

Yami hissed a sigh of annoyance but nodded all the same in understanding.

Smiling his thanks Yugi took his vampire's hand and began leading him downstairs.

"Oh, just a warning," Yugi whispered before reaching the bottom. "Tea can be very persistent."

A low growl told Yugi Yami understood what he meant.

Once downstairs the couple were meet with six pairs of eyes. Three a mixture of shock, suspicion and fear. Two calm and content, even happy. And the last a blend of fear and disbelief, but when they found Yami they instantly flashed to lust and desire.

The vampire inwardly snarled with disgust.

"I see you're doing better Yami?" Akana inquired with a wink. The vampire smiled.

"I am indeed."

Yugi picked up the exchange and silently gasped. They set him up! Then he smiled warmly for the plans meaning. He'd get back at them both later though. Turning his gaze back to his friends Yugi huffed a heavy sigh, knowing this would be exhausting. "Alright, who's first?"

On cue Joey, the irrationally one of the group exploded. "What the fuck is going on Yug? You're acting different. Keeping secrets. Hanging out and working in a bad are of town where you could be easily hurt and now there are these monsters! What the hell?!"

Seto, seeing this would get out of control fast stepped in. "First we'd like to know why you're here?"

Silently thanking Seto Yugi began. "I work here," he answered simply.

"But Yugi, this is not a good place too be."

"Tristan I appreciate your, and the rest of you all's concern, but I'm fine. I've been working here for four years. I can manage."

"But Yug," Joey went to continue but Seto placed a hand before him for silence.

"Second question, what do you do here?"

Yugi glanced over to Akana, who sighed before going to stand next to Yugi. Star leaped onto his shoulder.

"Yugi's job here is to maintain the shop so it's presentable and in working order. Stock the shelves with merchandise and help costumers when either I'm took busy, not available or need an extra hand."

There was a silence after, as if they expected more, but got none.

"That's is? That ain't what we saw!"

"Joey," Seto silently scolded the blond who growled but remained silent. "What was with those creature we saw?"

"Customers," Yugi answered as if it was the most logical thing in the world.

"But there…" Tea trained off, unsure if even she could believe what she saw.

"The world is not black and white you guys." Yugi explained. "There are various, possibly infinite colors in the middle, and that's what I deal with." The firm statement made it clear that Yugi wanted no more questions on the topic.

"Okay, then why would we get 'killed' for being here?"

"Tristan, have you guys ever heard anything about creatures in the city?" When there was no answer Yugi continued. "Because they've either kept well hidden or silenced any humans that found them." Seeing his friend darkened expressions Yugi tried to explain. "Think what would happen if humans knew of there existence. World panic. Mass monster hunts and bloodshed nonstop. All they want is too live in peace. They haven't and won't hurt anyone." Not seeing much of a change to there faces he sighed.

"Then why have you been safe all these years?" Tea inquired suspiciously.

"Because I had seen it so." Akana announced, glaring at the four, daring them to question her.

Getting no such remark Joey asked the final question on his mind. "So if you deal with monsters and such, when that blue fox-thing said you were going to see some Vamp-Yami… Is that… Is-is he a…"

Nodded his head Yami finally spoke. letting his deep and rich baritone voice rumble soothingly in the air. "Yes. I am a vampire." Yami then smiled displaying his vampiric teeth.

"Okay, I think it's time you four leave." As Akana began towards them Star leaped to her mother's should.

"But Mama, can't you do what you did for Daddy with them?"

Turning and eyeing the humans before turned her gaze to Yugi, waiting for a response.

Seeing this Yugi turned to his friend. His eyes hardened, seriously. "If you guy swear never to speak of creatures, powers, others worlds and anything related to non-reality in humanity logic and terms, you will be allowed to not only come and go as you please, but keep your lives too."

His friends stared at him. There eyes round and disbelieving. Silently demand to be told this was a joke.

"This situation is out of my hands unless you swear upon your very lives not to speak to any human of this. It's crucial."

Seeing he was dead serious the group remained silent for a few moments. It was either continue knowing this but never telling under the cost of there lives. Or don't vow and windup dead. Either way there punishment was death.

Finally it was Tristan to answered. "I guess this won't be so bad."

Joey and Seto, who was quite displeased with the predicament, agreed. Lastly Tea did as well.

Nodded, Akana gave a silent hiss before retreating to the back of the store. Seeing her go the blonde's brown craned.

"Where's she going?"

"Mama has more important things to do then entertain you humans." Star softly growled. Her silver eyes turned to amethyst when a gentle pat to her head was given.

"Star, why don't you go help Mama. I have to see my friends out and then head home."

As Star readied to do as asked, "What about Vamp-Yami?"

Turning to smile at the little kit the teen giggled. "I think it's time Yami knew where I lived." Purring in amusement Star hoped down and bid Yami and the humans goodbye before going to search for Akana.

It had become late and the sun was already starting to set.

As they traveled back the group noticed Yami staying fairly close to Yugi. This brought on a serious of question in both Joey and Tristan's heads. Seto though just wanted to know more about what Yami was and could do. His inner spike and curiosity shining in his blue eyes. Tea though was not only eyeing Yami but also the only one thus far to notice Yugi's bracelet. They were about five minutes from the street intersection that marked the splitting of the home locations.

"Yugi, I've been meaning to ask you. What's with that tacky looking charm band you have on?"

Yugi froze and Yami bristled at the woman's comment. Thought both men's anger went unnoticed as the groups attention was drawn to Yugi's wrist.

"Doesn't look at that cool."

"I didn' see nothin like it in dat store." Joey commented after Tristan. "Where'd you get it Yug'?"

Yugi could feel Yami spin around readying to attack. "It's a very special gift from someone I know." the teen turned his head, smiling.

Yugi know his friends didn't mean the harsh comment. After all they didn't know the band's meaning so all they saw was something tacky. It couldn't be helped and he didn't want them know the truth either. At least not yet.

"Oh really?~" Joey's tone became teasing as the group continued onward. "And who would that be?"

When Yugi just grinned and continued walking Tristan decided to jump in. "Come on bro? When luck girl is it from?"

At the accession of it being from a female Yami have a hushed but sharp hissed warning.

This definitely caught Seto's attention. "Alright everyone go home." the CEO ordered as they reached the intersection.

"Aww, but was want to know what girl Yug's datin'." Once again before Yami could strike a high yelp was heard followed by and whining Joey as Seto dragged him by his ear home.

Tristan sighed. "Well, I guess I'll see you later Yugi." Turning to leave Tristan eyed Yami. "See you around too, Yami." then he left.

Yami, shunted by the humans politeness to bid his farewell just watch him go.

Tea approached Yami catching the vampire's attention instantly. His red eyes narrowed down at her.

"Um… Well I get to see you again, Yami?" It was clear to the vampire that this female was attracted to him, but he had no eyes for anyone other then Yugi.

"Depends if Yugi will be too." he answered. Tea quickly sent the smaller teen a glare before placing a smile again as she looked back up at Yami.

"Well," she began walking off, waving. "I'll see you around Yami. Bye!"

As the two watched her go Yami could't hold back anymore and snorted in disgust. "Can she get anymore obvious without striping and presenting herself?" the vampire inquired bewilderedly. Yugi however could only giggle.

"She can try, but in will always fail. Right?"

Ruby eyes turned loving down to stare into amethyst pools. Though there was a hit of something Yugi could understand.

Glaring up at the vampire the teen pouted. "Yami?"

Yami burst into laughter at that. Yugi just looked to damn cute, and m,akin him jealous? Yami needed to do that more often. It provoked a very possessive and sexy side out of his humans that he liked.

As the teen continued glaring, well more like a hefty pout Yami laced there fingers, kissing the back of Yugi's hand in apology. Said teen blushed cutely before guiding the vampire back to his home.

Ten minutes laters A smiling Yami and a giggling Yugi entered the shop doors. Both oblivious to the third party a few feet away until the sound of someone clearing there throat was heard.

Instantly Yami went on the defense and pushed Yugi behind him baring his claws and fangs. Solomon eyed Yami though narrowed eyes.

"Yugi Moto! Just what in Gods name is going on?" the elder demanded.

"G-Grampa!" At the mentions of the elders connection to his little one Yami lowered his guards but remained close.

Solomon eyed both boys. Slowly he moved to the cupboard, taking out the book. Both young and young get looking males gasped. The old man's plum gaze seemed to have harden as a strange sparkle entered there aging depth.

"Upside, in the living room, now." It was such a calm command that Yugi hurried up, pulling Yami with him. Solomon gave a tired sigh. Looking out the window at the starry sky the elder couldn't help by be draw into the past in thought. "I suppose it's time now, right? Baraka? Layla?"

A small, ghost-like smile came to the elders lips as to turned upstairs. Wondering what was to come after it was all done.
