Half- Human

Chapter 5

Seto found himself up bright and early for the trip. Jou was going in his dragon form so Yugi and Yami could come along as well, and Seto could rest mid flight if he had to. More so for the reasoning it provided a better amount of protection. "The dragon's language maybe different from ours, most dragons call what I am a Shadow Drake, because we mimick what they really are a whole hell of a lot." Jounochi explained.

"What am I then?" Seto asked.

Jou winced slightly before replying. "They don't take half human/half dragon beings too well.... Um, half- breed, halfling, human bastard, son of a whore, half- wing, mud." Jounochi listed.

"With Yami at our side though, it might get a bit interesting." Jou replied.

Seto went to see how Yugi was doing. "Ready to go, yet?" Seto asked.

"I- I don't know... Yami says he'll be traveling in the puzzle the whole time so Jounochi won't have too much weight on his back. " Yugi sighed.

Seto could smell Yugi's scent from where he was before he could stop himself his mouth brushed Yugi's in a light kiss. Yugi pushed his tongue into Seto's mouth, shocking the taller boy until it eased him into an amount of heated passion. "I love you, you know?" Seto panted.

"Yami too?" Yugi asked, unsure.

"Of course." Seto replied, quietly.

He gently stroked Yugi's cheek as to assure something. "He didn't hear you though, he's asleep." Yugi smiled like kid.

"Well, tell him when he is awake, koi." Seto replied, before turning to leave.

"Seto?" Yugi asked.

"Yes?" Seto replied.

"Does this feel good?" Yugi replied, scratching his wings right were they met the back.

"Mmmmmmmmmm... Keep doing that and maybe I'll answer." Seto replied.

.....

(I could talk about them flying, but, that's all it was, flying.)

Seto gazed at the bustling street that they had landed in. Jounochi changed back, clearly showing his sword. Seto himself couldn't hide what he was. It was clear already that real dragons didn't like the idea of a halfling in their city. When one nearly picked a fight with him, Yami came out with his sennen eye clearly visable. "Don't talk that way to my koi!" He managed to threaten the poor dragon wrapping one arm protectively around Seto's waist and bringing them close together. Seto sighed taking in Yami's smell, if he liked the smell of Yugi, he was thrilled at that one's opposite. It was spiced like incense, and smoked hickory wood. Seto wondered about how drastically different they smelled. Yugi was sweet, gently letting you know he was there, but, Yami's was sharp, almost demanding attention right as Seto smelled it. Seto waited until the man was gone before scoffing, reminding himself much of his younger brother. "I could take care of him myself." Seto retorted.

"No, to much experience in magic with that one. You'd been fried before even blinking. Lucky I have enough shadow magic to scare away anything that remotely knows what shadow magic is." Yami smirked, not releasing Seto after that.

Seto wasn't the only one close to where they were, Yugi also was trapped by Yami's other arm. Unlike Seto though he was cuddling into it, giving into his other half's protection. Seto sighed, and ignored Yami's persistance arm for now, just letting things be as they were.

What was it that Jou had insisted they come here to do? Seto suddenly realized that he didn't know... But, there was Jounochi with his brown eyes swirling with hidden emotion, excitment possibly. All Seto knew about was that there was to be a big meeting of dragon kind and dragon mages and such... Possibly Jou was just happy to be there.

That's when Seto noticed them, hidden in the shadows, at first he didn't notice what they were. Human like shadows in the alleyways and such, until he caught a glance at wings and one's tail. Half- breeds, like him only... They were alone, and on the streets. Seto stopped, and Yami looked up at him. "What is it?" Yami asked.

"There." Seto pointed it out.

"Other halflings, I know what you're thinking, Seto, but, we can't help them all." Yami replied.

Two in particular caught his eye though, one was older the other younger and the older was was busy trying to protect his younger freind. Seto felt a stab of pain as he watched them. Seto quickly memorized their faces and where he was before following the group, and returning to Yami's side. He knew what he was going to do, but, for now it was his little secret and no one else would know. He smiled at himself as he left the large market place and Jou lead them to their hotel.

End Chapter: Sorry somewhat short.... What is Seto planning? (Don't give it away in your reviews either, please. I want to surprise those who can't take a guess.)
