Yugi and Yami reached the game shop after a while, shocking wet by the heavy rain that was raining cats and dogs. Yami had wrapped his arms protectively around his little brother so he would get as less wet as possible while on the way he informed Yugi about his meeting with Tea.

"Grandpa must be sleeping now." Yugi said when he saw how late it was.

"We must be quiet in order not to wake him up"

"I have a better idea for not to wake him up."

Yami said and picked Yugi up in his lap, leapt gently and landed airily on the window of Yugi's room. He opened the window and got in. Then put Yugi down.

"Ah! If I knew it was that easy I wouldn't sleep at nights!"

Yami chuckled with Yugi's comment.

"If I where you I would take those wet clothes off, Yugi. You'll catch a cold"

"Oh, right!" and started taking off and throwing on the floor his shocking wet clothes.

When Yugi started putting his pajamas on, Yami felt, all of the sudden, his stomach nauseating again. He covered his mouth with his hand.

"Yami you okay?"

"I'm fine…excuse me for a little…"

He ran to the bathroom and threw up the blood mixture he had drunk some minutes ago. When he returned to their bedroom Yugi was waiting with a concerned look on his face.

"Yami are you alright?"

"I felt a little sick for a moment. Now I'm fine though"

He felt a gap in his stomach and drew out of his pocket the small bottle but it was empty. He realized he didn't have another choice. He climbed on the window and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going again?"

He turned his head and looked at Yugi.

"I'll come back Yugi I just… think that I should go to find something to eat too"

Yugi's face unwittingly did a scared twitch.

"But Yami…"

"Yugi it's better not leave it because then who knows what will happen if I let a lot of time pass. At least now we will have less victims."

He looked outside, where was raining cats and dogs and then Yugi again.

"I'll do whatever I can to keep my instincts under control…I'll come back"

And with this he leapt out and got lost into the torrential rain. Yugi felt a pinching in his heart because he knew what would follow but on the other hand Yami was right. If he left his hunger to increase dangerously, he would react ten times more violently than when he was almost gorged.

Perched onto one of the road lights, Yami was scanning the place with his eyes. The rain was steeping him but he didn't care.

"I can't believe that I'm technically hunting humans! It's disgusting!" he whispered to himself.

"Alright. No matter what try to hold yourself! You won't…"

A young man passed by that place running. Yami licked his lips.

"Here's a good meal!" he thought and rushed towards him.

"Yugi! Breakfast is ready!" Solomon yelled from the kitchen.

"Yeah! Yeah!"

Yugi and Yami went down to the kitchen where the table was set.

"Good morning gramps!" Yugi said

"Good morning" Yami said as well

"Oh, Yami! You've returned?"

"Yes. Yesterday evening we came back together" Yugi said

"Ah, good. Is your friend better?"

"Excuse me?!" Yami exclaimed.

Yugi rushed to answer.

"Yes. He had just broken a leg and now he is better. Now we were talking about it upstairs. Right, Yami?" he asked pinching Yami lightly with his elbow.

"Y…yeah! Of course!" Yami also said even he didn't have the slightest idea what they were talking about.

"Ah, very good! Now sit. Yami I made your favorite: Quaker." And left a bowl in front of Yami. One for Yugi, and finally one for himself.

Yami looked at his plate a bit strangely. The truth was that he hadn't eaten a bite since the day he became a vampire. He was only drinking blood and he found it rather strange having regular food before him. Even though the other two seemed to enjoy it, in Yami's eyes now seemed completely tasteless and dull and he was surprised with himself for eating this thing in the past. He took his spoon and started playing without appetite with his food by filling and emptying his spoon or stirring his Quaker while Solomon switched the TV on to listen to some news (that unfortunately for a certain person weren't good.)

'Two new victims of the "beast" that is desolating Domino were found this morning. The medical examiner says that they were probably murdered between twelve to three o clock at midnight while again the two marks were found on the victims' necks'

Yami lowered his eyes not daring to face Yugi.

'Nevertheless new clues came to the surface to doubt the fact that the killer is an animal. One more dead body that it is said being murdered about forty-eight hours ago. It is about a young girl that was found dead on her bed inside her apartment where she lived alone. Her body was completely naked and drained from blood with the well-known marks on her neck. The mystery of the case is that the medical examiner that checked the corpse found trails of seed inside the woman's body after a sexual intercourse that the victim participated in a little before it's murder. However the housekeeper that saw her getting in ensured us that when she got into her apartment, on the second floor, she wasn't accompanied by any male and she was in general one quiet and shy personality. Finally what's the identity of the "beast" that's terrifying the city…?'

A loud smack was heard when Yami left his spoon fall onto bowl's brim. One drip of sweat ran down his face. He got up from his chair.

"I need to go!" he said and turned to go up to the room.

"But you haven't eaten your breakfast!" grandpa said because he saw that his plate was untouched.

"I… I'm not hungry…Sorry…" and he left.

Yugi had a bad feeling about that. He also got up from the table.

"I'm going to see what happened to him." He said leaving his spoon into his empty bowl.

He headed upstairs but instead of going straight to his room he stopped at the hallway, took his sack and drew out the book. He then opened it to that page of that chapter he hadn't dared to read. With shaking hands he turned the page over and read.

'Vampires' bloodthirsty instincts are just the beginning for the ghastliness a vampire can proceed to. They are lecherous, debouched creatures with intense sexual temper and desire. A vampire has a great weakness on virginity and innocence on which they unbend all the carnal want of their violent temper. They usually locate the virgin and then bed her/him making her/him a kind of temporary bed-mate since the following day, after they have taken their virginity, they usually…'

Yugi gulped.

"…kill them…" he red aloud in a stewed voice.

He understood that Yami was behind the murder and the rape of that woman, who was obviously a virgin to who Yami couldn't resist. He reached their room and opened the door slowly. He found Yami sitting on the bed with his face buried in his hands

"Yami…?" Yugi whispered and sat next to him

"Yami I…"

He wanted to help him but words of comfort weren't coming to his mouth. What had happened was obvious and he couldn't excuse it. Even he was feeling disgusted deep inside. Not having anything to say he hugged his brother. Yami raised his head and looked at him.

"Yugi…" he whispered, "after all I've done you are still hugging me?"

"Always. I promised you that I would be by your side and I will."

Yami looked down at his empty hands.

"I'm a murderer Yugi…and something more but you keep caring about me. Why?"

"You're my brother" was Yugi's only respond.

A minute silence followed between the two brothers. Then Yugi spoke.

"That girl you met the other day, Anzu, is still out there right?"

Yami shrugged.

"I guess…she must be somewhere around"

"You think she can help you? She's a vampire more time than you are. Maybe…she knows how to stop what is inside you"

"Hmmm…" Yami seemed thoughtful.

"She said that it is natural I can't resist to my instincts…I guess you're right Yugi! I'll go and find her!" and he stood up determinedly.

"Do you know where she is?" Yugi asked happily as he stood up as well.

"No"

"But then how will you find her?"

Yami looked down into Yugi's eyes and smirked.

"In the end am I a vampire or not?"

After so much time next chappie is ready!
The truth about Yami's sexual instincts is reveiled!
Now Yami will try to find answers about his nature as a vampire...What is he going to find out?
AN: I don't own Quaker

THEMES
