Lady Deadly Nightshade: I do not own Yu Gi Oh!! I only wish I did!
Lady Deadly Nightshade: Hello everyone! ^_^ I sure did take my time to upload a new chapter. I haven't really worked on the fic, I kinda got sidetracked with some other stuff.
Muses: *roll eyes* Uh huh. Tell them the truth!
Lady Deadly Nightshade: It is the truth. Besides you stay out of this, nosey muses. *muses disperse* So everyone where was I, oh, yeah. Sorry I took my sweet time, but I'm warning you know the next chapter will take its time appearing as well. So to make up for that and my laziness, I decided to give you guys a long chapter. ^_^ Hopefully that will make you guys less angry with me for taking my time. I have also addressed all my reviewers, well the ones from my last chapter anyway. So if you're a constant reviewer your name should be in there. Well let me be quiet, so you can read the actual story. So everyone enjoy and please review! Thanks! ^_^
O_o- Thank you for the birthday wish and I plan to write more.
Y Sunfire- Thank you for the birthday wish! Cool your friend's b-day was a day after mine, that's so cool. Another Aries, we're spreading, lol. Unfortunately my b-day spirit made me lazier, hence the reason why I'm finally updating.
Leigh- What's going to happen next? Well I could tell you here, but then I'd ruin the surprises. Sorry I ain't telling. ^_^ Actually Téa is…yeah she's a look alike.

BlackNightKitty- Yeah, it's very sad. I write sad stuff too much. I think I have a gift for it. Why can't Yugi love Téa? Hmmm, I would love to elaborate but I won't. All I can say is keeping reading. It will become clear as the story continues. So please continue to read the story. Love your review name by the way, sounds evil. ^_^

Chapter 10- Twin Propositions
Téa stared blankly at her apartment door. A few minutes ago a panicked Yugi had fled through her door. Téa still didn't understand why he had fled and sat on her couch trying to process and trying to conclude why he had. She was also wondering about what Yugi had confided in her. She didn't know what to think about that information. She still didn't know if what he told her was true, but somehow she knew he wasn't lying. The pain and emotion in him as he spoke was too strong to be a lie. She got up from her couch and locked her front door.
She headed to her bedroom and pushed open the door. She jumped, startled to notice that someone was in her bed. They were buried deep underneath the covers because she couldn't see a trace of them, only a long contusion the shape of a body on her bed. Damn, she cursed inwardly. She didn't have a weapon on her, she had left the skillet in the living room. Silently and cautiously as possible she walked toward her bed. Just as she reached out for the covers, they fell back causing her to step back to not have the covers land on her. With a swish the covers feel completely onto the floor.
"Did you miss me?" Téa heard a voice say playfully before she focused her eyes onto the bed. There spread out on her bed was Yami and he had a smile on his face like a Cheshire cat. He was dressed in black leather pants with a long sleeved tight white shirt.
"Yami?" She asked him. She knew it was him but she still needed confirmation. He looked so much like Yugi that she couldn't tell the difference between them.
"Yes, it is I, dear maiden." He spoke in a mocking accent. The teasing smirk still on his face.
Téa saw no humor in anything that he was doing at the moment. "Why are you here?" She asked irritated. She stared into his amethyst eyes.
"I came to see you but you were preoccupied with my brother," He told her. "So I decided to wait for you in here. I hope you don't mind." He said and his voice still held playfulness. He stood up from the bed and brushed past her causing her to flinch in fear. Yami didn't say anything to her reaction and stepped out of her room onto the small balcony. He stood there in the darkness of the night and admired the view of the city. He also gazed at the bright moon that hung in the sky.
Téa didn't follow him out. She stood in her room watching him. She wondered why he was here and she was also being cautious around him.
Yami turned on the balcony and faced her, shadows playing over his face. "My brother's right you know." She had trouble seeing his expression, but the playfulness was out of his voice. "I'm the reason behind his unhappiness."
Yami stepped into the room and she could see his face. Téa watched him silently. She didn't know what to tell him, so she stayed quiet.
"I want to tell you my side of the story, if I may?" Yami walked more into the room. "I could even show it to you."
Téa gaped at him. "How could you do that? What are you talking about?" She asked him curiously.
"Well, Yugi already told you what we are, right?" He asked her.
Téa simple nodded in answer.
"Well, then you know we are capable of other things. If we were to share blood with each other you could see my memories as clearly as if you were there when they transpired." He told her.
"Why can you do it and Yugi can't?" Téa asked him suspiciously.
"Oh, he can do it too, but he won't." He gave her a bitter smile. "He's a broken man. He can be very powerful, but he refuses what he is. Besides he won't do anything that might bring you harm. He wouldn't forgive himself if he hurt you because you resemble her." Yami told her.
"Anzu?" She questioned.
Yami nodded. "Yes." He said simply.
"If I remember what Yugi told me, you loved her too." Téa told him, staring at him.
Yami looked at her indifferent, no emotions on his face whatsoever. "Yes, I loved her, but I've learned to let go of the past." He got closer to her. "It does no good to love a ghost when there are livelier beauties around." He was so close to her that Téa had to take a step back.
Téa also tried to change the subject and fast. "So if we were to share blood what would happen to me?" She asked him.
Yami smiled knowingly. He knew she was attracted to him and uncomfortable with him being so close to her. It was either that or fear. He preferred to think it was attraction. "You'll feel sick. Light headed from the blood loss, faint, sleepy, but the blood will also stimulate you when the negative effects pass. You will feel good; vampire blood is potent, full of power. We will also be connected, bonded in a way. Also, in very rare cases you could become a vampire by sharing blood with me." He told her.
"A vampire?" Téa didn't like the sound of that. The way Yugi moped around, Téa didn't want to be a vampire for all eternity. "Are you going to give me a choice?"
Yami looked at her passively, thinking. He had a predatory look in his eyes.
"I need time to think about this." She added hastily.
"Think about it Téa. When you've reached your decision come and see me." Yami reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a small white card. "I have things to do before the sun rises, so I must go." He told her.
Téa stepped forward and took the card from him. Yami took the opportunity to caress her cheek. "I know this is sudden, but please think about it." He leaned his face in close to her and smelled the air around her. "Téa, I know you desire us, I can tell. Yugi knows it too, by the way."
Téa blushed slightly at his words. She didn't say anything in her defense. She was finding it hard to speak with him so close to her. He was right though; she was attracted to them both. Yugi for his tenderness and Yami for his intensity.
Yami leaned his face toward her ear. "May I kiss you?" He whispered into her ear. Téa couldn't find air to breathe, much less to speak.
Yami answered his own question. "Perhaps not," He pulled away slightly to look into her eyes. "It might not be proper." He flashed another playful smile and he vanished instantly.
Leaving Téa shocked with his card in her hand. She brought the card to her eyes and read the address. She looked at the card curiously. The old name on the card had been crossed out. It had been replaced by Yami's name on it, written in blue ink.
~Change Scene~
After Yugi had fled from Téa, he went to the only place where he knew he could find peace. He stood in his sanctuary, illuminated in moonlight. His mind still lingered over Yami's words. His brother was right. Yugi looked out into the sky in disdain. He hated when his brother was right.
Téa would never be Anzu and he should leave her alone. It would be best if he stayed away from her. Even though Anzu was gone he couldn't stop loving her. How do you forget the person that was all your firsts: first love, first kiss, first desire, first passion, and first lover. It was almost near too impossible to forget her. He closed his eyes and visualized her in his mind. He would never replace her or forget her, for that matter. He would continue to love her, even if she was only a memory now.
"Yugi." He heard someone call out to him, pulling him from his thoughts. He didn't turn around to face them. He already knew who it was. "Hello Ryou." He said and he opened his eyes.
Ryou strode up and stood beside him. "Yugi, what are you doing out here?" Ryou asked in a smooth accented voice. He turned away from Yugi and gazed out into the sky, just like his sire.
"This is a place that I come to when I need to think. A place where I can be alone." Yugi answered him, his tone very soft.
"Forgive my intrusion." Ryou apologized. "I will leave you to your thoughts."
"No!" Yugi replied hastily and firmly.
Ryou stopped and turned to look at him.
"It's fine." Yugi added and finally turned to look at Ryou. "You're welcome to stay, my dark child."
Ryou smiled at him. He was pleased to know Yugi wasn't angry with him. "Glad to hear I'm not imposing." Ryou replied sincerely. "So why do you want to be alone?"
"My brother-" Yugi began but was cut off.
"Brother? You have a brother?" Ryou said surprised.
Yugi nodded. "I have a twin."
Ryou stared at him, shocked. Vampires are not big on sharing their mortal life with other vampires. Even vampires that they created. It simply wasn't in their nature. So Ryou was completely caught off guard at the small declaration from Yugi's personal life. "Did he sire you?" Ryou asked timidly.
"Yes he did." Yugi told him. "He had been asleep for countless years when he was awaked by the knowledge of my injury."
"Knowing you were in distress, caused him to come too you. Just like I did." Ryou concluded.
"Yes," Yugi agreed and he placed a hand on Ryou's shoulder. "But unlike you. I'm not so happy to see him."
Ryou acknowledged the sentiment and smiled for a brief second. "What happened between you two?" He asked seriously.
"That my dark child, is too long a story." Yugi told him. Yugi though it was rather foolish to call Ryou a child, because in mortal years they were around the same age. Yes Yugi was older in vampire years, but now Ryou was more powerful then him. He could feel the power in him. Yet calling Ryou his dark child was like a special sentiment between sire and sired.
Ryou took Yugi's moment of silence as a request denied. He frowned in disappointment and looked at Yugi. "Sire, you don't have to tell me. I understand it's a private matter." Ryou felt the denial as if Yugi was abandoning him again. He turned away from Yugi and began to walk away.
"Wait!" Yugi called out to him. Ryou turned back to look at him. "Don't leave. I will not tell you what happened, but I will show you." Yugi told him. Yugi looked at Ryou's stunned face and laughed.
"Sire, what is it?" Ryou asked as he walked back to him.
Yugi smiled and looked at Ryou. "You were never patient, my dark child." Yugi chided him playfully.
Ryou couldn't help but smile. Yugi was right about that.
"Let us seek shelter and I will tell you everything. That is if you want?" Yugi told him.
Ryou nodded. "Yes, if you are willing to share, I would like to know." Ryou answered.
"I do." Yugi replied. They both smiled and vanished.
