Chapter 4

"Finally!" Yugi quickly covered Malik's mouth.

"Shh!" Yugi said. "I didn't tell them!"

"Why not?" Ryou asked.

"Because I still haven't come to terms with it myself." Yugi said removing his hand from Malik's mouth.

"Yugi you need to tell them." Malik said.

"Malik I don't even know how I fell for them in the first place. I shut them out a majority of the time I was here. Its not like we became friends and then the feeling grew. No I just randomly fell in love with them. It makes no sense." Yugi said.

"Yugi love doesn't make sense. Its not supposed. Its just there." Ryou said.

"I know but I wish it would." Yugi muttered.

"Why don't you talk to them about it?" Malik offered.

"No!" Yugi yelled.

"Why not?" Ryou asked.

"Because. Look I'll talk to them when I feel ready." Yugi said.

"Ok." Ryou said.

"I'm going for walk." Yugi said putting on his shoes.

"But Yugi-" Ryou started.

"No just leave me alone." Yugi cut him off. "Don't follow me. I just want to be alone." Yugi then left without looking back.

Yugi pulled out his headphones and Ipod. He put in his headphones and put on his favorite band Red. His top three are Red Breaking Benjamin and Three Days grace. He put on Breaking Benjamin and walked towards the park. He sighed as he slipped his hands into his pockets.

Once at the park he sat on a swing while Give Me A Sign by Breaking Benjamin came on. "I don't see the point in telling them. They are vampires and I'm just a human. I'm a speed bump in their road."

Yugi was just about to start swinging when he was grabbed as a hand covered his mouth. Yugi struggled to get free but whoever it was had a tight grip on him. He didn't bother screaming he knew no one would hear him.

"Well now. It seems I have found my dinner." A voice said into Yugi's ear. "Why don't we go eat?"

"You idiot!" Yugi heard a second voice. "You know we aren't suppose to drink a drop of him. Master wants him for himself. Now knock him out so we can go."

"Fine but you owe me a meal." The hand was removed from Yugi's mouth but before he could scream for help his mouth was covered again they time with a cloth that also covered his nose. He tried not to breath but soon his instincts made him breathe. He felt himself being dragged as he sleepily watched the park get smaller and smaller. Soon he saw nothing but darkness.

Yugi woke up later though he had no idea how much later. He groaned as his eyes tried to focus. He tried to rub his eyes but his arm was strapped to a table. "what the hell?" he tried to pull his arm free and found that his other arm and his legs were the same way. "W-what's going on?"

"Comfortable?" a deep voice rang through the room. Yugi's eyes widened. His heart started racing.

"No. You can't be here. A-Atem got rid of you." Yugi said.

"Or so he thought. I am here and I will have my fun with you." Arashi came into full view.

"No. Please let me go." Yugi begged.

Arashi laughed. "You know my mother always taught me not to play with my food but I think I can disobey her this one time." He said pulling out a knife.

"W-what are you doing?" Yugi asked. Arashi just smirked ad he came closer. Yugi pulled at the straps trying to get free.

"I wonder if this is how your baby brother felt when I had him. The fear in his eyes. So…exhilarating." Arashi smirked.

"Leave my brother out of this!" Yugi yelled.

"Haha but why? He was so..savoury. But you. You smell sweet."

"You bastard! That's my baby brother! Not some appetizer!" Yugi said.

"Oh but for me he was. Although he was so small he barely made a snack." Arashi sneered. "You failed your baby brother Yugi. And there is nothing you can do to change that."

"No. I was only 7. I-I couldn't do anything." Yugi said.

"Exactly. Because you were small and weak. You still are." Arashi sneered. Yugi looked down. "Don't worry. I'll give you the proper punishment." He put the knife to Yugi's arm and started carving something causing Yugi to scream out in pain. He then did the same to Yugi's other arm getting the same response.

Once Arashi was done he put the knife down. "There. Hope you like your new body art." Arashi sneered. Yugi looked down and saw his parents' names and his baby brother's. His eyes widened. "What? Don't like having a permanent reminder if your failure?"

Yugi glared at him. "You'll pay for this."

"Me? But I'm just giving you the proper punishment for letting your family die." Arashi laughed.

Yugi looked down. He never wanted to fail them. Its haunted him ever sense that day. He failed them because he was too small and weak. 'I'm sorry. I love you. I really do. And I know I failed you.'

Arashi laughed. "Hmm I think I'll leave you alone so you can think about how you failed." Arashi sneered before leaving.

Yugi sighed as some tears fell. "Looks like Atem and Yami can't save me this time."

*Back at the palace*

Atem knocked on Yugi's door and entered with a tray of food. "Hey Yugi I have foo- Yugi?" Atem asked looking around and not seeing Yugi in the room at all.

He put the tray down and went to the bathroom to look for him. When he found it empty he yelled for Yami. Yami came running in. "What!?"

"Yugi is gone!" Atem yelled.

"Shit! Where could he be?"

"I don't know. Let's go. We need to find him." Atem left the food and grabbed Yami's hand as they ran out. They were just getting to the front door when they were stopped by Ryou and Malik. "Guys move Yugi is gone and we need to find him."

"He went for a walk." Ryou said.

"What?" Atem asked.

"He needs some alone time. Just leave him be for a bit." Malik said.

"Why does he need alone time?" Yami asked.

"That's for him to tell you. It's not our place." Ryou said.

"He's in danger." Atem said.

"What?" Ryou and Malik asked together.

"Arashi is still out there. Yugi is in serious danger." Yami said.

"Shit why didn't you tell us!?" Ryou yelled.

"We didn't think Yugi would leave the palace!" Atem yelled back.

"You morons! You don't know anything about Yugi! He goes for waljs when he's upset or needs to clear his mind!" Malik screamed.

"Why would he possibly be on his mind to make him leave!?" Atem yelled.

"He loves you two!" Ryou yelled. The vampires took a step back shocked. Ryou stood there panting in frustration. He glared at them. "You morons!"

"He does?" Yami asked.

"Yes! He was confused and needed time to think! You should have told him that Arashi was still free!" Malik screamed.

"Shit Atem lets go." Yami said as they ran out.

Yugi cried. He hated himself for what happened. He failed his brother and parents. He had just about given up on ever getting out of here and a bright light came out of nowhere. He squeezed his eyes shut before attempting to adjust his eyes. When he opened them there in front of him was his mother, father, and baby brother Heba.

"Mom? Dad?" Yugi asked not believing what he was seeing. "Heba?"

"'Ugi!" Heba said. He was never able to say Yugi's full name.

"I-I must be seeing things." Yugi said.

"No baby boy. We are truly here." Yugi's mother smiled warmly at him. "Yugi you did not fail us."

"I was too weak to save you. Any of you." Yugi said as more tears fell.

"You were a child son. Do not blame yourself for something that was out of your control." His father said gently. "Yugi you must never give up. You need to go back to your vampires."

"But dad why would I matter to them? They are vampires and I'm just a human." Yugi said.

"You are so much more than that. You three are meant to be baby boy. They can help you just as you can help them. They have been through much." His mother said.

"How can I help them?" Yugi asked.

"You will know when the time comes." His mother answered. "Now it is time for you to go home."

"I can't. Arashi has me captive here. H-he tortured me." Yugi said looking at his arms.

"My poor baby boy." Yugi's mother walked to be next to him. She smiled at him then leaned down and kissed his arms. Yugi watched in amazement as the names carved into his arms disappeared and his arms healed.

"Wow. Thanks mom." Yugi smiled. Suddenly his arms were free. He rubbed his wrists. "How am I going to get home?"

"Close your eyes Yugi." His father said. Yugi nodded and did as told. "remember Yugi we love you and we're always going to be here."

"Wove Ugi!" Heba said.

"Bye bye baby boy. Mommy loves you." Yugi listened before there was a bright light. Once it dimmed Yuhi opened his eyes to see he was in the throne room in the palace. He shakily sat on Atem's throne. He curled up in a ball on it and began crying again.

Bakura was walking to see Ryou when he passed the throne room. He stopped and looked in. "Yugi?" he questioned. Yugi looked up at him. Bakura gasped Yugi's eyes your puffy and bright red. He looked paler than Ryou. He went in. "Yugi what happened?" Yugi just shook his head as he continued crying. "Ok lets go see your vampires." Bakura said picking him up. Yugi didn't struggle. He just let Bakura carry him.

Bakura carried Yugi to Atem and Yami's room and put him on the bed. "Stay here. I'll be right back with them." Bakura said before leaving. Yugi curled up. He looked at the vampires' pillows and pulled one from each side. He held them close and he breathed in the scents of his vampires feeling soothed for some reason. He continued this until he felt so relaxed he fell asleep.

Yugi didn't know how long he slept. When he woke up he was still in Atem and Yami's room curled up holding the pillows. He looked to the night stand and saw a tray of food still hot as if it just came up. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. He looked around and found the room empty. His stomach growled so he began eating the tray of food.

Once he was done eating he put the tray outside the door before going back to the bed and curling up with the pillows. He didn't know why he was so comforted by them but he wished they were Atem and Yami. He wasn't sure why he wanted them so much but he wished they would walk through that door and wrap their arms around him and never let go.

When he figured it wouldn't happen he decided to settle for the pillows and closed his eyes. He was just falling asleep when he heard the door open. "He's asleep." He heard Yami voice say softly. He didn't open his eyes.

"Good." He heard Atem say. "We need to find Arashi."

"We should have told him Arashi wasn't dead in the first place." Yami said.

"I know. I just liked seeing him completely relaxed and at peace. I thought we could catch him before Yugi found out." Atem sighed.

"You should have told me." Yugi said sitting up.

"You're awake?" Yami asked surprised.

"Yeah and you two should have told me." Yugi said.

"We know and we're sorry we didn't. Are you ok?" Yami asked sitting down on the bed.

"I am now." Yugi said.

"How did you get out?" Atem asked.

"I'm…not sure. I remember a bright light and then I was back in the throne room." Yugi said softly.

"Yeah Bakura told us how he found you. Why were you like that?" Atem asked.

"I don't know. It just felt like I needed to be that way." Yugi shrugged.

"And cuddling with our pillows?" Yami questioned.

"I found comfort in your scents." Yugi said softly.

"Ah well that's because we're your vampires." Atem said.

"I think its more than that." Yugi said.

"How so?" Yami asked.

"Well I think I'm starting to have feelings for you two." Yugi muttered. The vampires sat there silently. "Are you speechless? Or disgusted?"

"Neither. Its just that we know already." Yami said.

"Really?" Yugi asked surprised.

"Yeah. Ryou and Malik screamed it at us. It was rather Rude." Atem said.

"Oh." Yugi said looking down.

"Yugi why did you leave because you are having feelings for us?" Atem asked lifting his chin.

"Because I don't feel like they matter." Yugi admitted.

"Don't matter? Yugi your feelings always matter to us." Yami said.

"How could they? You two are vampires and I'm just human. I don't amount up to you two." Yugi said.

"Yugi you are not just human. You a very important human. Not because you are the blood match to the king and queen vampires but because you are the only human we've met to be so kind to vampires after being attacked by one. Once a human is attacked they typically classify all vampires onto the same group of killers." Atem said. "I believe that is part of why we love you."

"That doesn't change that even if we got together I would age and die while you two stay like this forever." Yugi said.

"Well not really." Yami said.

"What do you mean?" Yugi asked.

"Its complicated." Atem said. "Get some rest and we'll explain later."

"Wait how long have I been asleep?" Yugi asked.

"About 5 hours." Yami said.

"Wow." Yugi said.

"I expected you to sleep longer." Yami said.

"Who brought the food?" Yugi questioned.

"Atem did. He thought you may be hungry when you woke up. He was right. I see you ate everything." Yami said. Yugi nodded. He smiled softly before laying down with the pillows again. He looked up to see them both looking down at him with amuse in their eyes.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing its just interesting to see you this way. We're used to walls and shields. Its different." Atem said.

"Would like me to go back to my walls and shields? Because I will." Yugi smirked.

"No! No that's ok." Atem said rather quickly causing Yugi to laugh.

"I like this Yugi." Yami smiled.

"Yeah well there's a reason I don't bring this Yugi out much so don't get used to it." Yugi looked at the pillows.

"Don't worry we'll get that Yugi out somehow." Atem smirked making Yugi blush. Atem chuckled at him as he hid his face in the pillows.

"Poor little one." Yami laughed.

Yugi kept his head in the pillows as he reached and hit Yami. He laughed when he heard an ow come from the vampire's voice. "That didn't hurt. You're a vampire. Wimp." Yugi laughed.

"I am not!" Yami said sounding like he was pouting. He heard Atem start laughing. Yugi thought of how amazing his laugh was but shook it from his mind. 'No I can't think that way. They are together. They wouldn't want a human invading in on their relationship.'

"Little one you must rest. When you are fully rested we will explain. And we would like to know what happened while you were captive." Atem said. The smile slipped from Yugi's face. He didn't want to talk about it. He then gasped and quickly sat up looking at his arms.

"What is it?" Yami asked.

Yugi found nothing on his arms. 'Hm. Weird.' He thought.

"Yugi?" Atem questioned.

"Huh? Oh nothing. It's nothing." Yugi said a little absent mindedly as he slowly lie back down.

"Uh ok well rest up. Oh and you aren't going to school tomorrow." Atem said getting up.

"And you just made this decision for me?" Yugi asked.

"Yes now sleep." Atem said before leaving.

Yami sighed. "Don't take anything the wrong way. Atem only wants what's best for you."

"He has a funny way of showing it." Yugi grumbled.

"He's not one to show emotion. At least not to everyone. Its just how he is. Try not to hold it against him?"

"I'll try but no promises."

"Yeah I figured as much." Yami said getting up. He got to the door before turning back to Yugi. "You know because you are a human does not mean we can't love you back." He then left before Yugi could respond.

Yugi sat there dumbfounded by his words for a few moments before lying down with the pillows again. Oh how he wished he could sleep with the real Yami and Atem instead of these pillows. This was their bed so weren't they going to sleep in it? He hoped they would. He would love to wake up between them breathing in their scents.

Yugi sighed. "Yeah. I'm hooked." He muttered. "Now if I can just face my feelings that would be great." He slowly slipped off to sleep.
