First off I would like to thank every one who's reviewed. They have
been so nice and encouraging. Oh, and before I forget I have started a new
screen name, because some people have said they wished to send me things,
so I have opened up that option.
I have to again apologies, I know that it has taken me a while to get this chapter out but I had to wait to start writing it until after school was out. But now I have to do summer homework. It's very sad.
I also have some more bad news. On the 19th on this month (June) I am leaving for three weeks. I am going to Australia, and I will not be able to post. I will try to write some while I'm gone, but I'm not sure if I will able to. I will however try and post another chapter before I leave, but there's no guarantee.
Two other things before I let everyone get to the story. I have lost the data that held Yuugi's family names. I read each capture again and tried to find each name that I used but I'm not sure if I got every one so if you noticed a name change please tell me. (It wont be to important until next chapter). And I'm very sorry about it. Another is if anyone has seen Wolf's Rain think of the transformation to wolf form like that.
Lastly I would like to thank Lady Threarah who gave me the starting idea for this chapter, otherwise it might not have come out this fast.
Also, please excuse Bakura's bad behavior. And I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and I don't make any money from this.
Words, words--- thoughts
"words, words."-- spoken words
Please don't sue me, I don't have any money. I spent it all on Manga's this weekend. Sometimes I wish I could feel ashamed.
Bakura was pissed, no pissed wasn't a strong enough word to describe the feeling that coursed thought him.
Bakura sneered as he tighten his hold on Ryou. He had been kicking himself all day. He had made the mistake of mentioning to Ryou last night that he had felt Yuugi chi waves flicker a few times. That had been his first mistake.
Ryou had then spent the entire night worrying about his friends safety and had ran himself raged until he had fallen unwilling asleep in Bakura's arms. He had even yelled at Bakura this morning when they had woken up late. Ryou had been relieved this morning when he had saw Yuugi, but he had been unable to question to him do to them arriving late to class. His second mistake had occurred when he had mentioned to Ryou that Yuugi hadn't shown up in any of their shared classes after first period.
With both Yuugi's disappearance and Bakura's prediction about his energy level Ryou had become extremely worried and hadn't said much since they left school. When they reached home Ryou had started crying and at that point Bakura had been all for telling Kyoichi, but Ryou didn't want to. He didn't want Kabia getting into trouble, he just wanted to know if Yuugi was alright.
Bakura growled softly as he ran his hand slowly through Ryou's soft, silky hair. It's all the fucker fault. If he hadn't hurt Yuugi and probably taken him somewhere, Ryou wouldn't be upset and I would be getting something more on a Friday night.
He was broken from his thoughts when Ryou who had his nose pressed into his neck for the last half an hour sat up. Bakura frowned at Ryou's appearance, his eyes were slightly red and puffy and a deep concern for Yuugi was etched into his soft brown eyes. Ryou allowed a soft smile to cross his lips before he leaned closer, laying his forehead against Bakura's.
"Is that loved?" Ryou whispered softly, closing his eyes. Bakura grimaced, remembering a time when he had treated Ryou the same way, only he had been less physical, and they had only been six years old.
Closing his own brown eyes Bakura replied. "No. Love never comes in the form of physical pain." Dark shadows filled Bakura's chocolate colored eyes as they slid open. "No matter how hard one tries." With another paused he added, "He can't love him. He only wants power and that can never be love."
Ryou kissed Bakura's neck as he nuzzled gently. It still pained his love to think back to the days when he would attack him relentlessly. He spent every minute of every day trying to make it up to him, though Ryou himself had forgiven him long ago. It was the reason he was so worried about Yuugi. Though Bakura had never broken any bones and had only left a few faint scars from his attacks. Ryou often worried that Seto left more then just that on Yuugi. It saddened him that Yuugi sat in his own private hell and there was nothing anyone could do about it. He wouldn't give up Bakura to save his friend; he couldn't help but be selfish. Not that Yuugi would allow it, he loved his friends to much to be selfish back, he would live with the pain first.
Ryou blinked in surprise as Bakura slid him off his lap and onto the couch. He was even more surprised when Bakura got up and started heading for the door. Ryou bit his bottom lip, should be ask? Before he could make up his mind however Bakura answer as he slipped on his leather jacket. "I'm going to show that fool just what it feels like to be the one in pain."
Ryou stood, smiling sweetly. Walking over to Bakura he wrapped two pale arms around his neck pulling him into a sweet, lingering kiss. Pulling back he whispered a soft "thank you" before pulling away and walking back into the living room. He had to understand most of all. The pain most of all.
Bakura sighed as he closed the door heavily behind him. He was going to have to beat Seto today. From many past sparring sessions with the brunette he knew that he was many times stronger then Seto. He hadn't needed to show it before because there was no reason, he had his Ryou, he didn't need anything more.
He paused for a moment sniffing the air then continued walking. There were two wolves following him. Pausing for the second time he called out. "I know your there." He frowned as Marik and Malik walked out chuckling darkly as they separated from the shadows.
"What are you doing here?" Bakura growled out as he continued walking towards the Mouto house, he had a feeling that he would find Seto there. Neither answered.
As they continued to follow him Bakura paused again as he picked up Kabia's scent. He closed his eyes allowing the brief transformation to wash over him. Dark brown eyes snapped open a second later and with a powerful spurt of energy he took off for the top of the hill. As he reached the top, he let off a changeling howl, one that he knew that Kabia would hear. He was surprised when two nearly identical sandy color wolves joined in calling beside him.
Yuugi moaned softly, he felt so warm and safe. With a soft sigh he snuggled deeper into the pillow. He decided, in the groggy confides of his mind that he didn't want to open his eyes, why ruin a good thing. For the first time in years he felt safe and warm, not the normal coldness and often afraid feelings that he normally felt when he was laying in his own bed, especially after what happened last night. He shifted and that's when he noticed that he wasn't sleeping in his own bed. For one thing he didn't own silk bed sheets and for another he didn't own a bed this big.
With a light sight he forced his eyes open. Despite the darken room Yuugi could see perfectly well. Yes this definitely wasn't his room. The only thing that kept him from panicking was that he had been in Seto's room before and this sure wasn't it. The walls were painted either a very dark blue or black, it was to dark to tell the difference. There was also something painted on the walls, but from here he couldn't make it out. Before he could find out he was pulled backwards into to a warm, firm chest.
Yuugi's eyes went wide as something began nuzzling into his neck while two hands slid up his shirt, stroking the bare skin softly. Yuugi winced as he shifted turning around to face his capture. He hadn't noticed before that his wounds from before still existed. Yuugi's eyes went even wider, it was Yami. Is this Yami's room? What am I doing here?
His fear melted away as he looked upon Yami's face. He looked so content and unguarded; so unlike his normal self. With a soft smile he brought up his hand, but pulled it away sharply when his fingertips connected with flesh. Yuugi blushed darkly, Yami wasn't wearing a shirt. Yuugi felt the butterflies take flight in his stomach as Yami moaned softly, snuggling closer. He swallowed hard, taking in short, quick breaths. Their lips were only inches apart.
Yuugi blushed harder as Yami slowly drew his leg over his. Yuugi closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. Yuugi shivered as a tongue was drew over his neck. Trying desperately to distract himself from the feelings, Yuugi lowered his head to Yami's shoulder. Still the tongue persisted. Yuugi eyes went wide with surprise, Yami had the same upside down triangle mark as him. With a shaky breath he drew his hand up Yami's chest. He couldn't resist as he ran a thumb over the small mark. He jerked back as a bolt of pleasure crashed through him like a tidal wave. The feeling left him slightly aroused. It didn't help either that Yami was slowly drawing his foot up his leg.
"Do you like what you see?" Yuugi head snapped up, only to meet Yami's blood red rubies. His blushed increased as Yami reached out and touched his cheek. Yuugi winced as he sat up, his chest and back still throbbed.
"I'm sorry we couldn't heal you again." Yuugi looked up again he could tell that Yami was truly concerned for him.
With a small smile he replied, "it's alright. I'm use to it." Yami frowned, then smiled slyly as he slid his hand from Yuugi's face until it reached his shoulder, and his mark. With his other hand he interlaced their fingers. Slowly he pushed Yuugi against the pillows until he was completely on top of him. With a sweet smile, he captured Yuugi's lips. Smirking into the kiss Yami slowly drew Yuugi's hand up the side of his chest until it reached the mark on his own shoulder. Yuugi moaned softly, again the jolt passed through him except this time far more powerful.
Suddenly, Yami couldn't take it anymore as the pleasure continued to pulse through him. With a low growl he pulled down the collar of Yuugi's shirt. With a loving smile he whispered seductively in Yuugi's ear, "my mark is fading, maybe I should remedy that."
Yuugi sat up quickly, staring wide eyed at Yami. He had always suspected that it had been Yami, but now it was confirmed. He shivered slightly as Yami blew into his ear "Y-your mark?" Yami smirked, sitting up fully. With a soft moan he leaned in, resting his forehead against Yuugi's. Licking his lips slowly, he replied, "yes, mine" as he captured Yuugi's lips in another sweet kiss.
Yuugi sighed into the kiss, allowing himself to be consumed by the feelings. Slowly, Yuugi allowed his fingers to run down Yami's muscular chest. Suddenly they stopped as the connected with metal. Wrapping his fingers around it he concluded that it was rather heavy and cold. Turning it around he allowed his fingers to trace the engraving. His eyes flew open, his heart racing as he stared wide eyed at Yami. He couldn't believe it. He had just been kissing the Prince of the werewolves.
Yami sighed as he slid his hand from Yuugi's shoulder to his hand which held his necklace. With another sigh he slid his arms around the pale wolfs waist as Yuugi tried to pull away.
Fear and pain flooded Yuugi as he tried to pull away. His father had always taught him to respect and fear the royal pack. He shouldn't even be looking at them much less kissing one. Not only that, but if Seto attacked Yami. He couldn't imagine what they could do. He couldn't allow that to happen. "Shhh, calm down Yuugi. You'll hurt yourself more." His words failing to calm him Yami gripped Yuugi's chin and leaned in capturing Yuugi's lips in a rough kiss.
"Ahum, AHUM." The lights flickered on brightly.
Breaking the kiss, Yuugi turned sharply, crying out as his wounds once again made formal protest. Standing in the doorway was a man of about 25. He had straight, shinny, and long black hair and the deepest reddish color eyes that Yuugi had ever seen. Unlike Yami's eyes which reminded Yuugi's of freshly spilt blood, this man's eyes were a light cinnamon color with speckles of red thrown in. If he hadn't already meet Yami's father he would have sworn that this man was him. There was something about him.
Yuugi could tell by the way the man walked as he approached the bed that he held high rank and was very powerful. He glanced back as Yami wrapped an arm around him, resting his head on his shoulder. He didn't seem to mind the intuition at all, in fact he seemed almost amused. The wolf smiled as he sat on the bed.
Yuugi jumped slightly as Yami began nuzzling his neck, licking it ever so often. Yuugi swallowed hard, "W-who are you?"
The man chuckled as he pulled up a black medical bag. "I'm the Kamamoto family doctor. Call me Ryder." Yuugi turned slightly at Yami's snicker.
"Ora, ora il mio Atemu, non snicker se fossi voi." Yuugi looked up confused as Yami pulled back, his arms still wrapped tightly around him. There was a hint of a smile on his beautiful face. Maybe Ryder's his brother? Yuugi thought as he watched the two banter back in forth in a langue unknown to him.
Ryder rolled his eyes as he returned his gaze to Yuugi. With a sheepish smile he said, "Well YAMI aren't you going to introduce me?"
With a slight shake of his head Yami began the introductions. "Yuugi, this is my father Ryder. Father this is Yuugi. The son of the Royal leader of Japan." With a confused look Yuugi asked, "what about Cristano?"
Both Ryder and Yami chuckled. Yami leaned in adding one last lick to Yuugi's neck before whispering in his ear, "both my parents are male." Yuugi blushed, how could he have forgotten that? Then it hit him, he was sitting in the present of the king and the prince. With a soft moan the darkness once again took over.
Bakura growled angrily as he parted ways with Marik and Malik. He was pissed again. He had been unable to challenging Seto officially. The reason, the pack was being called together, and he couldn't dismiss it no matter how much he wanted to.
Bakura raised his head high as he entered the pack meeting grounds. He snorted angrily, Seto was already there. His creamy white fur glistened in the light of the full moon. He shot Ryou a look as he sat beside his father. The disappointed look that entered his loves eyes told him that he had understood that Bakura had fail in what he wanted to accomplish.
Turning dark brown eyes to the leaders peak he noted with a frown that Yuugi was absent from his usually place next to his father. He turned his thoughts away from his problems as Kyoichi steeped forward.
Kyoichi stood, stepping out on to the ledge where he then sat, looking out at his pack. "As spoken at our last meeting another pack has moved into the area. Their leader, Ryder has requested that we join them in a pack hunt in hopes of good relations between packs. After meeting with heads of each family we have decided that we accept their offer and will be joining them tonight."
Before he could continue Seto spoke up. "Where is Yuugi, I haven't seen him since that foreign packs son took him into that room this morning. They have kidnapped our future leader and now you want us to hunt with them. We shouldn't hunt with them we should be hunting them." By now Seto was on his feet growling, his words increasing in volume at every word. There were agreeing mummers from several families.
Kyoichi growled fiercely as he replied. "My son wasn't kidnapped by them. He is being treated for the injuries that you caused. And before you ask I didn't have Akiye heal him because both their leaders are adamant healers and far surpassed our own healer."
Seto was about to protest, he didn't care how far their skills surpassed Akiye he didn't want Yuugi anywhere near that family, or Yami. Especially Yami. Before he could, his father stood, hitting him on the shoulder in the process. It was a silent message for him to shut his mouth. With a soft growl he sat turning his head away from the point. Shinji turned to Kyoichi bowing slightly. "Kyoichi please forgive my son for his insolents." Kyoichi nodded sharply but by the look in his eyes Shinji could tell that he hadn't forgiven Seto. And in his heart he couldn't blame him. He knew that if someone had done that to one of his sons he wouldn't be able to forgive them either. Shinji tuned his eyes to the ground as Kyoichi continued their meeting, something would have to be done.
Yuugi shook himself successfully removing all the water from his coat. He lowered his head low as Ryder, Cristiano and Yami pasted him. It had been quite a shock to find out that Yami had two male parents, not that it bothered him, he just hadn't expected it. It had been a even bigger shock to find out about Yami's heritage. "There's no reason to lower your head Yuugi, were all friends here. No one would hurt you." Yuugi nodded though he still kept his head somewhat low.
Yuugi offered Adrian a smile. Adrian had a pure black coat that completely contrasted with his personality. Adrian was very sweet and gently and had offered to show Yuugi around the grounds while Yami met with Ryder and Cristiano. Adrian offered Yuugi a small nuzzle as he caught a glance from their young leader. The black coated wolf chuckled lightly as he gave Yuugi a fatherly lick and said his goodbyes. Yuugi was sadden as Adrian left to join his mate and three children.
He jumped slightly at Yami's chuckle as he approached. Yuugi's tail wagged happily as he nuzzled Yami back. He had to resist the urge to bow. He was in the presents of mortal gods of the wolf world. Were still just wolves. Yami words were still fresh in his mind. It made him feel slightly better. Yuugi was surprised when Malik and Marik stepped beside him. He now understood Malik's comment to Seto this morning.
Yami smiled to himself as he saw Yuugi hold his head just a little bit higher as he began a conversation Malik. He was gland that he was begging to warm up to him again after he found out his secret. He hadn't meant to let Yuugi find out until afterwards but he had forgotten remove his necklace with his worry for Yuugi.
"So tell me Yuugi, what do you think of our little prince?" Malik said sweetly, pressing close to Yuugi making him move to the side so that he brushed up against Yami. Yuugi knew he was blushing. Malik just chuckled at Yuugi's none response.
Yuugi's head snapped up as he caught his pack scent. Yuugi knew that he was accompanying Yami's pack on a hunt and he knew that he was going with his own pack. However he wasn't sure if he was ready to face Seto again, especially after Ryder's threat. Even know Ryder seemed fun loving and understanding, Yuugi had the feeling that Ryder could be just as nasty as he was sweet.
Yuugi watched as Marik and Malik drew back and he wondered as his pack approached if he should draw back as well. He unvoiced question was answered when Yami nuzzled against him, pushing him forward. For a brief moment Yuugi wondered if he should join his pack on the other side but it was only a brief moment. This is where he belonged.
Yuugi sat beside Yami as both pack leaders meet in the middle. He watched curiosity, wondering if his father and mother would demanded that he return. He was surprised when his father stepped in front of his mother who look to as if she wanted to say something. He had the feeling that it had to do with him.
"Are you alright?" Yuugi shook himself out of his musing at Marik's voice. With a wolfish smile he nodded. He really didn't need them worrying about him too. Yuugi turned his attention to Ryder and Cristano as they returned from the middle.
Yuugi had to admit that Ryder and Cristano had to the most beautiful wolves that he had ever met. Yami offered Yuugi a small nuzzle before he stood and joined his parents. Ryder coat was a fiery red that had streaks of black hairs running along the back. He also had, which was the most curiosity, a white mark that looked like the eye of Ra on his right shoulder. But it wasn't because of his coat that Yuugi thought Ryder beautiful, it was his eyes. In the short time he had been with Yami's family he had seen them go from a soothing reddish brown to a fiery red. When Yuugi had gazed deep inside them he had been filled with the feeling that he could find all the answers to the questions that he had been searching for all his life. Cristiano was just as striking as his mate. His coat was a reddish brown and seemed to have dull red and black highlights running throughout his coat. He too had a white mark that looked like the eye of Ra on his right shoulder. Yuugi smiled shyly as his gaze fell on Yami. Yami coat was a mixture of his parents. The undercoat was a very deep red, while the top coat had a mixture of light brown and black. Like both his fathers Yami had a mark on his shoulder however it wasn't the eye of Ra, it was the little upside down triangle that they both shared. Yuugi shivered, it was a little creepy.
He looked up as Ryder started speaking. "We have decided that we will spilt into two packs. Pack leaders will head both groups and I expect that wolves from my pack to act expectantly." After a stern look at each pack member Ryder began naming off names. "Marik, Malik, Keon, Shashi, Otogi, Adrian, Sheehan, Caton, Sabola, and Avasa. You are to join Kyoichi pack for tonight." With a sharp turn Ryder began walking away, Cristano and Yami right behind him.
Yuugi quickly shot up, calling out in a meek voice, "sir, what about me?" Ryder hadn't mentioned anything about him going back. Ryder stopped, shivered before turning to face Yuugi with a wolfish smile.
"While your to hunt with us of course, who else?" He continued for a few more steps then paused and without turning around added, "oh, and don't call me sir it makes me sound old." Yuugi was little stunned he didn't move until Lian nudged him gently. He couldn't help but smile as he slowly took his place beside Yami.
"Good luck." Marik snicker out as he and Malik walked calmly, but proudly towards the other pack with a mischievous swagger in their walk. He couldn't think of them going any other way. He paused for a moment he wondered if he should be worried? With a slight shake of his head he put it behind him, it would happen if it happened. Turning his thoughts to something else. Yuugi was also happy that none of Yami's other pack members seemed to angry about the switch for the night. He knew that this mingling pack hunt had everything to do with him.
Yuugi smiled, waging his tail happily as Yasuo and Iva walked over. Yasuo and Iva were Ryou's parents. Yuugi had always been secretly envious of Ryou. They were always so nice and understanding and always protected Ryou even when they knew by law they couldn't. In fact Yasuo had attacked six year old Bakura. He hadn't hurt him badly but it showed Bakura that he didn't have to hurt his son to win Ryou's love. Yuugi knew that his mother would never do that and his father couldn't do much either. Yasuo had gotten in so much trouble, but he hadn't care. He had protected his son and that's all that mattered to him. Yuugi couldn't hold it against either of them, they only wanted what was best for Ryou.
Yuugi nuzzled Iva back as she sat next to Yasuo. Suddenly he felt very guilty. How could he have felt so content with Yami's pack when he couldn't feel that way with his own.
Yuugi lowered his head, he didn't feel well. How could he allowed this to happen? How could he betray his pack? So far into his thoughts was Yuugi that he didn't notice Anzu grinning evilly at him as she and her mother made there way over. Anzu's grin faded as Yami came back, nuzzling Yuugi to pull him out of his thoughts. She growled, she had thought that because Yuugi was going to stay with Yami's pack that the sexy future leader of the Kamamoto pack would join her pack. Not that she wanted him gone, but it would be easer to get rid of Yuugi without him around. I'll get him, one way or another.
If your wondering what Ryder said. He said, now, now my Atemu, I wouldn't snicker if I were you. In Italian. Atemu is Yami's real name in the show right?
This chapter would have been out hours ago but my little brother and I found some abandoned kittens and we had to run and buy some food for them. And then teaching the dog not to eat them.
I have to say in the last six days that I've been writing this chapter that I have been successfully distracted by two very good Manga's.
The first one is Fruits Basket by Natsuki Takaya. It's a very cool and I high recommend it for anyone who can't find a good new series to read. (like me). I find this problem often.
The second and my favorite, is Saiyuki, by Kazuya Minekura. This one had me rolling on the floor. But that may have to do with my strange sense of humor. Hee, hee. A drinking, smoking, gambling, and gun carrying priest. Hee, hee. If you have read the manga, the second book on page 197 had me laugh for hours. In fact I'm still snickering now at the very thought.
If you have extra time on your hands, (like me) you should pick them up. I have fallen in love with the both.
I'm still snickering.
One last question before you return to sanity. Are there any Harry Potter fans out there who sall the third movie. I want to know what others thought of it.
Thank you every one. Please review.
I have to again apologies, I know that it has taken me a while to get this chapter out but I had to wait to start writing it until after school was out. But now I have to do summer homework. It's very sad.
I also have some more bad news. On the 19th on this month (June) I am leaving for three weeks. I am going to Australia, and I will not be able to post. I will try to write some while I'm gone, but I'm not sure if I will able to. I will however try and post another chapter before I leave, but there's no guarantee.
Two other things before I let everyone get to the story. I have lost the data that held Yuugi's family names. I read each capture again and tried to find each name that I used but I'm not sure if I got every one so if you noticed a name change please tell me. (It wont be to important until next chapter). And I'm very sorry about it. Another is if anyone has seen Wolf's Rain think of the transformation to wolf form like that.
Lastly I would like to thank Lady Threarah who gave me the starting idea for this chapter, otherwise it might not have come out this fast.
Also, please excuse Bakura's bad behavior. And I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and I don't make any money from this.

He hadn't noticed before that his wounds from before still existed. Yuugi's eyes went even wider, it was Yami. Is this Yami's room? What am I doing here?
His fear melted away as he looked upon Yami's face. He looked so content and unguarded; so unlike his normal self. With a soft smile he brought up his hand, but pulled it away sharply when his fingertips connected with flesh. Yuugi blushed darkly, Yami wasn't wearing a shirt. Yuugi felt the butterflies take flight in his stomach as Yami moaned softly, snuggling closer. He swallowed hard, taking in short, quick breaths. Their lips were only inches apart.
Yuugi blushed harder as Yami slowly drew his leg over his. Yuugi closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. Yuugi shivered as a tongue was drew over his neck. Trying desperately to distract himself from the feelings, Yuugi lowered his head to Yami's shoulder. Still the tongue persisted. Yuugi eyes went wide with surprise, Yami had the same upside down triangle mark as him. With a shaky breath he drew his hand up Yami's chest. He couldn't resist as he ran a thumb over the small mark. He jerked back as a bolt of pleasure crashed through him like a tidal wave. The feeling left him slightly aroused. It didn't help either that Yami was slowly drawing his foot up his leg.
"Do you like what you see?" Yuugi head snapped up, only to meet Yami's blood red rubies. His blushed increased as Yami reached out and touched his cheek. Yuugi winced as he sat up, his chest and back still throbbed.
"I'm sorry we couldn't heal you again." Yuugi looked up again he could tell that Yami was truly concerned for him.
With a small smile he replied, "it's alright. I'm use to it." Yami frowned, then smiled slyly as he slid his hand from Yuugi's face until it reached his shoulder, and his mark. With his other hand he interlaced their fingers. Slowly he pushed Yuugi against the pillows until he was completely on top of him. With a sweet smile, he captured Yuugi's lips. Smirking into the kiss Yami slowly drew Yuugi's hand up the side of his chest until it reached the mark on his own shoulder. Yuugi moaned softly, again the jolt passed through him except this time far more powerful.
Suddenly, Yami couldn't take it anymore as the pleasure continued to pulse through him. With a low growl he pulled down the collar of Yuugi's shirt. With a loving smile he whispered seductively in Yuugi's ear, "my mark is fading, maybe I should remedy that."
Yuugi sat up quickly, staring wide eyed at Yami. He had always suspected that it had been Yami, but now it was confirmed. He shivered slightly as Yami blew into his ear "Y-your mark?" Yami smirked, sitting up fully. With a soft moan he leaned in, resting his forehead against Yuugi's. Licking his lips slowly, he replied, "yes, mine" as he captured Yuugi's lips in another sweet kiss.
Yuugi sighed into the kiss, allowing himself to be consumed by the feelings. Slowly, Yuugi allowed his fingers to run down Yami's muscular chest. Suddenly they stopped as the connected with metal. Wrapping his fingers around it he concluded that it was rather heavy and cold. Turning it around he allowed his fingers to trace the engraving. His eyes flew open, his heart racing as he stared wide eyed at Yami. He couldn't believe it. He had just been kissing the Prince of the werewolves.
Yami sighed as he slid his hand from Yuugi's shoulder to his hand which held his necklace. With another sigh he slid his arms around the pale wolfs waist as Yuugi tried to pull away.
Fear and pain flooded Yuugi as he tried to pull away. His father had always taught him to respect and fear the royal pack. He shouldn't even be looking at them much less kissing one. Not only that, but if Seto attacked Yami. He couldn't imagine what they could do. He couldn't allow that to happen. "Shhh, calm down Yuugi. You'll hurt yourself more." His words failing to calm him Yami gripped Yuugi's chin and leaned in capturing Yuugi's lips in a rough kiss.
"Ahum, AHUM." The lights flickered on brightly.
Breaking the kiss, Yuugi turned sharply, crying out as his wounds once again made formal protest. Standing in the doorway was a man of about 25. He had straight, shinny, and long black hair and the deepest reddish color eyes that Yuugi had ever seen. Unlike Yami's eyes which reminded Yuugi's of freshly spilt blood, this man's eyes were a light cinnamon color with speckles of red thrown in. If he hadn't already meet Yami's father he would have sworn that this man was him. There was something about him.
Yuugi could tell by the way the man walked as he approached the bed that he held high rank and was very powerful. He glanced back as Yami wrapped an arm around him, resting his head on his shoulder. He didn't seem to mind the intuition at all, in fact he seemed almost amused. The wolf smiled as he sat on the bed.
Yuugi jumped slightly as Yami began nuzzling his neck, licking it ever so often. Yuugi swallowed hard, "W-who are you?"
The man chuckled as he pulled up a black medical bag. "I'm the Kamamoto family doctor. Call me Ryder." Yuugi turned slightly at Yami's snicker.
"Ora, ora il mio Atemu, non snicker se fossi voi." Yuugi looked up confused as Yami pulled back, his arms still wrapped tightly around him. There was a hint of a smile on his beautiful face. Maybe Ryder's his brother? Yuugi thought as he watched the two banter back in forth in a langue unknown to him.
Ryder rolled his eyes as he returned his gaze to Yuugi. With a sheepish smile he said, "Well YAMI aren't you going to introduce me?"
With a slight shake of his head Yami began the introductions. "Yuugi, this is my father Ryder. Father this is Yuugi. The son of the Royal leader of Japan." With a confused look Yuugi asked, "what about Cristano?"
Both Ryder and Yami chuckled. Yami leaned in adding one last lick to Yuugi's neck before whispering in his ear, "both my parents are male." Yuugi blushed, how could he have forgotten that? Then it hit him, he was sitting in the present of the king and the prince. With a soft moan the darkness once again took over.
Bakura growled angrily as he parted ways with Marik and Malik. He was pissed again. He had been unable to challenging Seto officially. The reason, the pack was being called together, and he couldn't dismiss it no matter how much he wanted to.
Bakura raised his head high as he entered the pack meeting grounds. He snorted angrily, Seto was already there. His creamy white fur glistened in the light of the full moon. He shot Ryou a look as he sat beside his father. The disappointed look that entered his loves eyes told him that he had understood that Bakura had fail in what he wanted to accomplish.
Turning dark brown eyes to the leaders peak he noted with a frown that Yuugi was absent from his usually place next to his father. He turned his thoughts away from his problems as Kyoichi steeped forward.
Kyoichi stood, stepping out on to the ledge where he then sat, looking out at his pack. "As spoken at our last meeting another pack has moved into the area. Their leader, Ryder has requested that we join them in a pack hunt in hopes of good relations between packs. After meeting with heads of each family we have decided that we accept their offer and will be joining them tonight."
Before he could continue Seto spoke up. "Where is Yuugi, I haven't seen him since that foreign packs son took him into that room this morning. They have kidnapped our future leader and now you want us to hunt with them. We shouldn't hunt with them we should be hunting them." By now Seto was on his feet growling, his words increasing in volume at every word. There were agreeing mummers from several families.
Kyoichi growled fiercely as he replied. "My son wasn't kidnapped by them. He is being treated for the injuries that you caused. And before you ask I didn't have Akiye heal him because both their leaders are adamant healers and far surpassed our own healer."
Seto was about to protest, he didn't care how far their skills surpassed Akiye he didn't want Yuugi anywhere near that family, or Yami. Especially Yami. Before he could, his father stood, hitting him on the shoulder in the process. It was a silent message for him to shut his mouth. With a soft growl he sat turning his head away from the point. Shinji turned to Kyoichi bowing slightly. "Kyoichi please forgive my son for his insolents." Kyoichi nodded sharply but by the look in his eyes Shinji could tell that he hadn't forgiven Seto. And in his heart he couldn't blame him. He knew that if someone had done that to one of his sons he wouldn't be able to forgive them either. Shinji tuned his eyes to the ground as Kyoichi continued their meeting, something would have to be done.
Yuugi shook himself successfully removing all the water from his coat. He lowered his head low as Ryder, Cristiano and Yami pasted him. It had been quite a shock to find out that Yami had two male parents, not that it bothered him, he just hadn't expected it. It had been a even bigger shock to find out about Yami's heritage. "There's no reason to lower your head Yuugi, were all friends here. No one would hurt you." Yuugi nodded though he still kept his head somewhat low.
Yuugi offered Adrian a smile. Adrian had a pure black coat that completely contrasted with his personality. Adrian was very sweet and gently and had offered to show Yuugi around the grounds while Yami met with Ryder and Cristiano. Adrian offered Yuugi a small nuzzle as he caught a glance from their young leader. The black coated wolf chuckled lightly as he gave Yuugi a fatherly lick and said his goodbyes. Yuugi was sadden as Adrian left to join his mate and three children.
He jumped slightly at Yami's chuckle as he approached. Yuugi's tail wagged happily as he nuzzled Yami back. He had to resist the urge to bow. He was in the presents of mortal gods of the wolf world. Were still just wolves. Yami words were still fresh in his mind. It made him feel slightly better. Yuugi was surprised when Malik and Marik stepped beside him. He now understood Malik's comment to Seto this morning.
Yami smiled to himself as he saw Yuugi hold his head just a little bit higher as he began a conversation Malik. He was gland that he was begging to warm up to him again after he found out his secret. He hadn't meant to let Yuugi find out until afterwards but he had forgotten remove his necklace with his worry for Yuugi.
"So tell me Yuugi, what do you think of our little prince?" Malik said sweetly, pressing close to Yuugi making him move to the side so that he brushed up against Yami. Yuugi knew he was blushing. Malik just chuckled at Yuugi's none response.
Yuugi's head snapped up as he caught his pack scent. Yuugi knew that he was accompanying Yami's pack on a hunt and he knew that he was going with his own pack. However he wasn't sure if he was ready to face Seto again, especially after Ryder's threat. Even know Ryder seemed fun loving and understanding, Yuugi had the feeling that Ryder could be just as nasty as he was sweet.
Yuugi watched as Marik and Malik drew back and he wondered as his pack approached if he should draw back as well. He unvoiced question was answered when Yami nuzzled against him, pushing him forward. For a brief moment Yuugi wondered if he should join his pack on the other side but it was only a brief moment. This is where he belonged.
Yuugi sat beside Yami as both pack leaders meet in the middle. He watched curiosity, wondering if his father and mother would demanded that he return. He was surprised when his father stepped in front of his mother who look to as if she wanted to say something. He had the feeling that it had to do with him.
"Are you alright?" Yuugi shook himself out of his musing at Marik's voice. With a wolfish smile he nodded. He really didn't need them worrying about him too. Yuugi turned his attention to Ryder and Cristano as they returned from the middle.
Yuugi had to admit that Ryder and Cristano had to the most beautiful wolves that he had ever met. Yami offered Yuugi a small nuzzle before he stood and joined his parents. Ryder coat was a fiery red that had streaks of black hairs running along the back. He also had, which was the most curiosity, a white mark that looked like the eye of Ra on his right shoulder. But it wasn't because of his coat that Yuugi thought Ryder beautiful, it was his eyes. In the short time he had been with Yami's family he had seen them go from a soothing reddish brown to a fiery red. When Yuugi had gazed deep inside them he had been filled with the feeling that he could find all the answers to the questions that he had been searching for all his life. Cristiano was just as striking as his mate. His coat was a reddish brown and seemed to have dull red and black highlights running throughout his coat. He too had a white mark that looked like the eye of Ra on his right shoulder. Yuugi smiled shyly as his gaze fell on Yami. Yami coat was a mixture of his parents. The undercoat was a very deep red, while the top coat had a mixture of light brown and black. Like both his fathers Yami had a mark on his shoulder however it wasn't the eye of Ra, it was the little upside down triangle that they both shared. Yuugi shivered, it was a little creepy.
He looked up as Ryder started speaking. "We have decided that we will spilt into two packs. Pack leaders will head both groups and I expect that wolves from my pack to act expectantly." After a stern look at each pack member Ryder began naming off names. "Marik, Malik, Keon, Shashi, Otogi, Adrian, Sheehan, Caton, Sabola, and Avasa. You are to join Kyoichi pack for tonight." With a sharp turn Ryder began walking away, Cristano and Yami right behind him.
Yuugi quickly shot up, calling out in a meek voice, "sir, what about me?" Ryder hadn't mentioned anything about him going back. Ryder stopped, shivered before turning to face Yuugi with a wolfish smile.
"While your to hunt with us of course, who else?" He continued for a few more steps then paused and without turning around added, "oh, and don't call me sir it makes me sound old." Yuugi was little stunned he didn't move until Lian nudged him gently. He couldn't help but smile as he slowly took his place beside Yami.
"Good luck." Marik snicker out as he and Malik walked calmly, but proudly towards the other pack with a mischievous swagger in their walk. He couldn't think of them going any other way. He paused for a moment he wondered if he should be worried? With a slight shake of his head he put it behind him, it would happen if it happened. Turning his thoughts to something else. Yuugi was also happy that none of Yami's other pack members seemed to angry about the switch for the night. He knew that this mingling pack hunt had everything to do with him.
Yuugi smiled, waging his tail happily as Yasuo and Iva walked over. Yasuo and Iva were Ryou's parents. Yuugi had always been secretly envious of Ryou. They were always so nice and understanding and always protected Ryou even when they knew by law they couldn't. In fact Yasuo had attacked six year old Bakura. He hadn't hurt him badly but it showed Bakura that he didn't have to hurt his son to win Ryou's love. Yuugi knew that his mother would never do that and his father couldn't do much either. Yasuo had gotten in so much trouble, but he hadn't care. He had protected his son and that's all that mattered to him. Yuugi couldn't hold it against either of them, they only wanted what was best for Ryou.
Yuugi nuzzled Iva back as she sat next to Yasuo. Suddenly he felt very guilty. How could he have felt so content with Yami's pack when he couldn't feel that way with his own.
Yuugi lowered his head, he didn't feel well. How could he allowed this to happen? How could he betray his pack? So far into his thoughts was Yuugi that he didn't notice Anzu grinning evilly at him as she and her mother made there way over. Anzu's grin faded as Yami came back, nuzzling Yuugi to pull him out of his thoughts. She growled, she had thought that because Yuugi was going to stay with Yami's pack that the sexy future leader of the Kamamoto pack would join her pack. Not that she wanted him gone, but it would be easer to get rid of Yuugi without him around. I'll get him, one way or another.
If your wondering what Ryder said. He said, now, now my Atemu, I wouldn't snicker if I were you. In Italian. Atemu is Yami's real name in the show right?
This chapter would have been out hours ago but my little brother and I found some abandoned kittens and we had to run and buy some food for them. And then teaching the dog not to eat them.
I have to say in the last six days that I've been writing this chapter that I have been successfully distracted by two very good Manga's.
The first one is Fruits Basket by Natsuki Takaya. It's a very cool and I high recommend it for anyone who can't find a good new series to read. (like me). I find this problem often.
The second and my favorite, is Saiyuki, by Kazuya Minekura. This one had me rolling on the floor. But that may have to do with my strange sense of humor. Hee, hee. A drinking, smoking, gambling, and gun carrying priest. Hee, hee. If you have read the manga, the second book on page 197 had me laugh for hours. In fact I'm still snickering now at the very thought.
If you have extra time on your hands, (like me) you should pick them up. I have fallen in love with the both.
I'm still snickering.
One last question before you return to sanity. Are there any Harry Potter fans out there who sall the third movie. I want to know what others thought of it.
Thank you every one. Please review.
