Disclaimer: I own nothing
Yami continued to walking deep into the forest as he carried his beloved Yugi in his arms. Before too long they finally arrived at a manor that was once home to a rich business man and his family before being abandoned. Yami came upon the house many years ago while living in the woods, and decided to make the manor his home. He kept the manor well taken care of over the years using his magic, making it a comfortable and beautiful place to live.
Yami entered the manor through the large double doors and carried Yugi up stairs to the master bedroom. The room was spacious, with a large canopy bed, oil lamps and a deep red rug that covered the floor. There was also a small desk and chair for writing. Yami laid her carefully on the bed and removed her cape before tucking her in under the warm blankets. After draping her cloak over a chair, the wolf king turned to leave when he heard the soft voice of his sweet one calling him.
"Yami? Where are we?" Yugi asked as she slowly sat up.
Yami turned around and smiled at Yugi gently as he answered.
"We're at my home, Yugi. Or I should say, our home. "
With a snap of his fingers Yami turned on the lights, leaving Yugi in awe while she gazed around the room. She then gasped at the view from the large window and got up quickly to get a better look. She couldn't believe how beautiful the country side looked at night under the moonlight. Yugi couldn't wait to see the sunrise from this view. She then stopped to think for a moment and turned to Yami with a questioning look on her face.
"Our home? Oh Yami I don't think I can stay here. This place is too grand for someone as humble as me and I still have my house in the village. Granted there won't be anyone waiting for me there..."
"You don't have any family other than your grandfather?"
"I don't. I live alone. The villagers sometimes help me get by but I mostly live and take care of myself. It's rewarding to be independent, but it's also very lonely."
"Then why go back?" Yami asked and walked up to Yugi, bending down one knee while holding her hand. Making Yugi fall silent as he continued.
"Yugi, I'm more than happy to share my house with you and give you anything you need or desire. You've become precious to me and I can't stand the thought of you going back to your small home where you're alone. I can easily imagine how lonely you must be."
"You can? How?" Yugi asked in surprise.
Yami then stood up and walked over to the window to gaze at the moon as he spoke.
"I lost my pack when I was very young. I learned to survive, control my powers, and fight all on my own. Along the way I did make friends, but they passed away many years ago. I've lived for a long time Yugi, and I've lived alone. I thought I would be fine living that way for the rest of my life until I found you walking in forest years ago."
"Years ago?" Yugi asked in confusion.
"I confess, today was not the first time I've seen you Yugi. The first time was at least three years ago. I was returning home from my most recent hunt when my eyes caught sight of something red in the distance. Curious I followed to see that it was human in a bright red cloak. I was about leave when the wind blew hard, causing the head of the cloak to fall and reveal the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. That human was you Yugi. Ever since that day I would watch you from the shadow's of my forest. Every time you would walk back and forth on the path, I would watch you as you sang, talk to the small animal's and marvel at the flowers in bloom. After seeing you that day I fell deeply in love with you and I realized I didn't want to be alone any more."
Yami then turned to face Yugi as he continued. A deep sadness buried in his eyes seemed to show itself as he spoke.
"Please stay here with me Yugi. Whatever it is you want or need, I will give to you. If only you'll stay with me."
Yugi stayed right where she stood, so moved by Yami's words. She had no idea that the man she had so quickly fallen for was as lonely as she was. Perhaps even more so. It was then that another thought had crossed the young maidens mind. Though she didn't know Yami for very long and still knew very little, she wanted to learn. Yugi wanted to be by Yami's side, to learn about him and love him even more than she did now.
Yugi stayed quiet for a moment to think things over before she walked over to Yami with determination in her eyes. A decision had clearly been made up in her mind. She then cupped Yami's left cheek with her right hand. Amethyst eyes gazing deeply into crimson purple. Not a word was spoken, but their hearts understood each other exactly. After a long moment of silence, Yugi spoke to Yami in the moment tender and gentle voice.
"Yami, I am so sorry."
Yami gasped slightly, his voice shaking as his eyes slightly grew with sadness and confusion. Afraid he was being rejected, but allowed Yugi to continue before jumping to conclusions. The maiden looked down at the floor in embarrassment. A blush growing on her cheeks as she spoke.
"I'm sorry, for how you've lived alone for so long, that I couldn't have been with before now. And I'm sorry that I dragged you into such a horrible mess with that monster in my grandfather's house. And finally I'm sorry for not having much to offer you in return as much as you've given me. But I want to stay with you, to love you and give you many happy memories. I hope that will be enough in return for letting me live here with you."
Yami suddenly shocked yugi by embracing her tightly before they both fell to the floor on their knees. A warm smile grew on his face as Yugi felt something wet fall on her cheeks.
"That will be more than enough. You have no reason to apologize for anything my sweet Yugi. I was happy to have met you, to have been there to save you. And the loneliness I felt from the past will be nothing compared to the happiness we'll have in the future. I promise you."
"Yami, please don't cry."
Yugi said as she pulled away from Yami, gently kissing the tears away from his face. She then cupped his face in both her hands to gaze into his eyes.
"So it was you that's been watching over me all this time?"
"You knew I was watching you?" Yami asked in surprise.
"I didn't know who but I could always sense someone was watching over me these past few years. At first I wasn't sure, but I could tell they didn't mean me any harm. Then today, you came out of nowhere. Like a prince from a fairy tale and something told me that it was you. But why didn't you show yourself too me before?"
"Because I was afraid Sweet one. I didn't think you would be able to except the monster that I am." Yami said sadly.
Yugi then kissed Yami suddenly and smiled back at him once she pulled away.
"Yami, you may be a wolf, but that doesn't matter to me. You're my love. And that's all I need to know."
Yami smiled back at Yugi with love in his eyes. He then wrapped her in his arms while gently pushing her onto the floor before stealing a kiss himself. It was much more passionate than the other kisses the two of them had shared. Yami hummed in contentment as his tongue licked over Yugi's soft lips, asking for entrance into her mouth. Yugi gasped in surprised, allowing Yami to slip his tongue inside, making Yugi moan loudly. She could feel how desperate Yami was for her. The way he explored her mouth and tried invite her into his gave it away.
Yet Yugi was still new to this and thus very nervous. As the two of them broke away, Yami gaze down at her with slight smirk on his face. She laid their panting heavily with her eyes glossed over. She obviously had never been kissed in such a way and the fact that Yami had been the first filled him with pride. Yugi was slightly afraid and yet still intrigued. Her words becoming mumbles as she tired to speak. Making Yami giggle to himself.
"U-um..."
"Too much too fast, my little one? I apologize."
"N-no, I liked it. It's just..."
"I understand, but let us take our time. Alright? I've waited for you for a long time Yugi, I can wait a little longer."
Yugi nodded and smiled at Yami, who then cupped her face to notice the dirt that covered her face and clothes.
"That must be from hiding in that tree. And you must still be cold. Let's get you into a bath to warm you."
Yugi watched Yami as he walked to the other side of the room to open a door. What she thought was a mere closet turned out to be a massive bathroom. With a vanity and a large bath tub, making Yugi stare in awe. She couldn't even imagine how big the rest of the house was.
"Yami, this is incredible! I've only ever cleaned myself in a small wooden tub."
"You'll enjoy yourself much more in this. I'll start it for you, go choose some bed clothes for yourself."
Yugi went to dresser to find a beautiful red silk night gown. After Yami readied the bath, he left Yugi alone to enjoy herself, to which she did very much so. The heat from the water chased away the cold that seeped into her body. The scents of the soap and bath lotions help to relax and destress her aching bones. It was truly enjoyable for the young maiden. After her time in the bath, Yugi drained the tub, got out and put on the red gown she chose before leaving the bathroom.
As Yugi left the bathroom, she heard a knock on her door. She allowed entry to see Yami come in with a small cup of tea in hand.
"I trust you enjoyed yourself, my sweet one?"
"I did very much so! It was wonderful, I can't thank you enough for all you've given me. I almost fell unworthy of such treatment."
Yami set the tea cup down on the bed side table and walked up to Yugi. Wrapping his arms around her tenderly as he spoke.
"You deserve all this and more. Please don't ever think otherwise."
Yugi couldn't stop the blush growing on her cheeks as she leaned into Yami's embrace. His scent filling her senses with a spiced warmth that was very intoxicating. Feeling a bit bold, Yugi returned the hug while laying her head on Yami's chest. Her small arms tenderly holding him with everything she had made Yami gasp in surprise before smiling warmly. He was happy that Yugi was over coming her shyness to become so affection towards him.
"I am glad to feel your embrace. It's so comforting to know you trust me." Yami whispered softly
"I know...I like being held too. My mother used to hug me all the time, till one day my father said she was babying me too much and she stopped. That was right before she died too. Ever since then, I missed the feeling of held."
"Surely you're grandfather's embraces you, does he not?" Yami asked.
"He does, but being held by you is different. It's warm and makes me feel so safe. It makes me want to be your arms all time, even when I'm asleep." Yugi confessed.
Wanting to make her happy, Yami suddenly picked up Yugi and carried her over to the bed. After lying her down and tucking in under the blankets, he walked over to the other side and removed his cape and shoes before he climbed into the bed next to her. Yugi sat up, slightly confused until Yami laid down , turned on his side and opened his arms to her.
"Come sweet one, lay in my arms."
Yugi was surprised and yet so happy. She practically jumped into Yami's embrace as he pulled her into the warmth of his arms. Under the soft silk sheets, the two held each other in silence. The moon shining down quietly on them as the snow fell heavier and heavier. Covering the woods in a thick white blanket of winter. Yami kept his eyes on Yugi as she began to drift off to sleep. Her hair was still slightly damp from bath, her sweet scent combined with the soap tingled his nose as it filled his senses. The warmth of her body radiating through his as she held him close. Yami couldn't believe how strong and yet how small and frail she was all at once.
(She's adorable...I can't believe how anyone wouldn't find you precious.)
Yami thought to himself before using his magic to turn off the lights. It was then he heard Yugi's gentle voice call out to him.
"Yami? Is this really ok? Me sleeping next to you like this?"
"I have my boundaries Yugi. I promise I won't-"
"No I don't mean that! I trust you not to touch me like that without my permission."
"Then what do you mean? Are asking me if you're being an inconvenience?" Yami asked in confusion.
To which Yugi answered yes. Yami then shook his head and placed a tender kiss on her forehead before he held her tight. Whispering softly.
"Yugi, I'm more than happy to hold you in arms all night. I told you, anything you want, it's yours."
"Then can I kiss you one more time? Please?"
Yami smiled at the simple request and kissed his beloved once more with passion before the two fell asleep in each other's arms. Dreaming of the future they would share together as one.
7 years later...
A young girl no older than seven years old was walking through a snow covered forest in the late afternoon with a small basket in hand. The ebony trees acted like a canopy that towered over her with the wind wrapping around her in a cold wintery embrace. Seeking warmth, the girl pulled her deep rose red cloak closer to her. Her brown boots leaving behind light footprints that were filled almost instantly by the heavy falling snow.
Before too long, the young girl happened upon a manor, hidden deep in the woods. She smiled as the doors opened to reveal a wolf with crimson violet eyes, waiting to greet her. A second later, the wolf transformed into the appearance of a handsome man. A smile on his face as he bent down on one knee and held his arms out to her. The girl quickly ran up the stairs as she called out to him.
"Papa!" She cried as she jumped into the man's arms.
He wrapped her up in his arms and spun her around before holding her tight and carrying her inside. The man then pulled back her hood to reveal a little girl with red eyes, blond bangs, black and red hair and a pair of black wolf ears on either side of her head. She had a warm bright smile and a glint of mischief in her eyes.
"Welcome home little one. Were you out playing in the forest again today, Yuki?" The man asked.
"Uh-huh, and I got flowers too!" Yuki said excitedly, holding up some winter roses from her basket.
"I see."
"Yami? Is Yuki home?" Called out a women who came out from the kitchen to find her daughter and husband at the front door.
Yami smiled at his love who had grown into a wonderful women. Yugi was now 22 and the mother of Yami's child. She had even started sowing and sold beautiful quilts to the villagers in her old town. She and Yami lived a peaceful, quite life and loved each other just as much if not even more than the day they met.
"She's right here, my love. Yuki, why don't you go into the kitchen and have some tea to warm you up?" Yami suggested as he put his daughter down.
She nodded and ran off with her cloak trailing behind her. Yami smiled warmly as the little girl ran down the hallway and disappeared into the next room. Yami then turned to Yugi who smiled back at him.
"She reminds me so much of you." Yami said.
"Well she is my daughter. I still can't believe she found that old cloak of mine. I'm worried she'll trip since it's so big on her. I'll have to make one that's her size."
"I'm sure she'll love it. But what I meant was that she reminds me of when you would go into the forest. That day you and I met."
"Haha, I was much younger back then Yami. Even though I was seventeen, I was still such a child back then." Yugi confessed.
Yami smiled and shook his head as he wrapped his arms around his wife. Whispering in her ear softly.
"You are and always will be, my beautiful maiden. My red riding hood."
Yugi smiled and kissed Yami softly before the two went to have tea with their daughter.
Every night before bed, Yuki would ask her mother and father for the story of the girl who traveled the woods in the red cape. The two would smile and tell her the story of little red riding hood and the wolf who became her protector. Which ended up becoming a legend told for all time.
