I must thank you for the reviews…but remember, Don't Tell was written after this fic, after I deleted it so that I had no reference.  Actually, they were supposed to be two separate fics.  I know that I should be grateful towards all of you for reviewing, but last time the fic was posted, I got an average of 25 reviews per chapter.  Now I get about 20.  Not that much of a difference, but oh well.

Read on my tomodachis.

Blood Lust

Chapter_03: Blood Tinted Kiss

¤Yami's POV¤

"What do you want?" The little one hissed at me. You have to admire him; I've met many witches that would've been paralyzed with fear by now. I smirked.

"Nothing, not yet anyways." I murmured.

"What do you mean, 'not yet'?" The little witch spat out.

"I mean that I still have plans for you." I said exasperated.

"What plans?"

Ra, for such a tiny witch, he sure asked a lot of questions. But, never-the-less Yugi was still a stunning specimen. Even though he had changed out of the complete leather attire - (pause for a moment to drool at that thought...okay )he had changed into a pair of baggy sweats and a some-what tight black long sleeve shirt. He still had a choker on. Yugi was gorgeous. (authoress nods head enthusiastically)

"That is for me to know and for you to find out" I purred.

I stepped forward effortlessly. "Now, Yugi, you wouldn't be thinking about killing me with those spring-loaded daggers inside of your sleeves, now would you?" I warned, taking immense pleasure at the flicker of surprise and fear that crossed Yugi's face.  He drew back, and sat down on his bed.

"Wait until my - " Yugi started

"Friends?" I finished. "They won't bother us..."

"What have you done to them?" The little one hissed.

"Nothing, I just placed a sleeping spell on them. They'll wake up in a day or two." I grinned maliciously.

The little one seethed. I tried hard not to grin. My mind wandered back to the witches in the living room. Many vampires feared this Circle, but I'm starting to believe that Yugi, not by the other morons, causes their fear. They didn't even sense my presence until it was too late. I smirked at the memory. I returned my attention back to Yugi, who was still sitting on his bed, starring at me.

¤Yugi's POV ¤

Yami had spaced out, but I was not strong enough to take him on, even when he was unprepared. Yet, anyways. I took this time to study him, to see if I could detect any weaknesses. Maybe this moment changed my life. I will never know. Because it was this moment that I noticed how beautiful he was. I quickly shook that idea out of my head. He was a VAMPIRE! How could I think that? All vampires had a certain deadly beauty; it came in handy when they were hunting down their pray. But Yami was, well, more. His eyes held a knowing and at the same time, a hunger for everything that they had no knowledge on.

I snapped out of my daze when Yami came out of his.

Glaring at him, I asked, "Why is your mark not visible to my friends?"

"Your friends?" Yami asked incredulously, obviously faked. "You mean the friends that doubt you ability because of when you began to train? The friends that believe you stole Kaitos's talisman after another killed him just to make them believe you killed? The same friends that eat up every word that pointy banged freak tells them?" Yami scoffed.

"It is not visible to them because you have subconsciously hidden it." Yami smirked. " Your powers are growing, but they aren't strong enough." He finished.

"H-how do you -?" I stuttered. How had he known about my friends? He had a point, I hated to admit it, but he had a point.

"I can read your mind, Yugi. And I know what I just said was true. You're starting to doubt your friendship. You know that the only reason that they put up with you is the fact that Sugoroku Motou is your grandfather." Yami taunted.

I tensed. Of course, I have thought of that possibility before, but I never believed it, maybe Yami IS - no, I can't let that Leech turn me against my friends.

"Get out of my room." I hissed. Yami just focused his eyes onto mine, before shimmering out of my room. I sighed, relived that he was gone. Soon, the hairs on the back of my neck were up, as I felt someone grab my arm and twist it violently behind my back. I let out a small cry of surprise and pain when I heard the sickening crack of the bones in my arm breaking.

The creature turned me around so that I faced him.

Yami.

I glared at him, trying to strengthen my aura. But he just diminished the light growing around me as his own aura grew around him, a dark void which nothing could escape. Struggling, I tried to escape his grasp. But I couldn't - his aura was sapping my energy. Yami grinned darkly as he impaled my lips with his own. Forcing himself down upon me, I was unable to escape due to his hard grip. I could feel his canines transform into fangs against my lip, cutting them open. He pulled away slowly, only to come back again to lick the blood away from my lips. I shivered involuntarily, surprised that I wanted more.

¤Yami's POV¤

I could feel him shiver beneath me. I enjoyed this - I had finally found a toy with which I could injure repeatedly and fulfill my most inner desires. ( no lemon!!!!!!!!!! not yet, maybe later if I feel like it......in a separate chapter )His blood tasted sweeter than the last time, more potent. I forced open his lips with my tongue, running it against the surface of his teeth. The small one complied with my desires, parting his mouth slightly, gaining my tongue entrance.

I played around in his mouth, tasting the insides. Running my tongue on the roof of his mouth, I felt Yugi moan a little, pushing his hips into mine.

Resisting the urge to continue, I pulled away, and let my aura reduce to its normal state. For the heck of it, I broke 3 of his fingers on his left hand.

Chuckling slightly at the dazed condition Yugi was in, I transported myself back to my home about 30 miles from the outskirts of town.

Still reliving the past moments in my mind, I felt another presence around me.

"Seto, how nice of you to visit me. We hardly see each other." I state, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

The other vampire smirked.

"Yami, you haven't lost your touch in the 3000 years I've known you." Seto chuckled.

"Seto, I know why you're here. What do you want this time?" I said coldly. He only came when he wanted a favor done.

"Oh Yami! How could you think such a thing? I would never ask anything of you!" Seto said with fake innocence.

I glared at him.

"Fine." Seto pouted. "What I wanted to know, what is your interest in the Motou boy? There is a large bounty on his head." Seto grinned darkly.

Do you like it so far?  Want me to continue?  Review and make me a happy camper or go screw your crap.  My friend came up with that yesterday…rather comical at the time.
