The next night, Anzu was getting ready for bed, unaware that she was going to have very bad dreams tonight. 'I still can't believe that the new kid would consider the pipsqueak as a close friend.' Anzu thought as she slipped into her bed and fell asleep. Shadow stood on a tree branch, watching as Anzu fell asleep. 'Now it's my turn. "Sweet dreams" Anzu.' she thought as she sent tendrils of magic through Anzu's mind, shifting her good dreams into bad ones. Very bad ones.

-Dream-

She was sitting in a park with Yami and Aqua. They were happy to be with her and Yugi was nowhere to be seen. Soon the scene changed for bright to dark as cloud rolled in and she looked around. "What's going on?" she wondered. Yami and Aqua looked to her before they got up. "What possessed us to like something so low. Anzu, you're nothing but a disgrace to us." Yami snapped. "What?! But I love you both! Why turn on me now?!" she demanded. "Because simply, you are not worthy. We care for Yugi and only Yugi." Aqua answered. As he said that, a glowing form came up behind them and they turned to see it was Yugi looking like a pure angel.

White wings were perched on his back as a pale lily-white robe covered his petite form. His amethyst eyes glowed like the jewels they look like and Yami smiled, walking over to him. Aqua following behind him. Yugi smiled and wrapped his arms around Yami's waist. "Come, Yami, let's go home." Yugi whispered and he nodded. "Wait! Yami? Aqua! You belong with me! Not him!" she cried and Aqua turned back to her, looking different than before. He grabbed her in a crushing grip and lifted her up.

"We never liked you, Anzu. Can you see that Yugi has a pure heart compared to your dark one? We demons are attracted to such light and we shall protect Yugi from you until the Blood Moon rises. When that happens, he will be bonded to us through a special night that I know you wished to have. If you try to stop us from achieving that goal, then see to it that you will be buried six feet underground alive." Aqua hissed and threw her to the ground.

She looked up and saw that Yami was in his demon form as well, nuzzling Yugi and he pat his snout in response. "Are you ready to come home with me?" he asked and they nodded. The moon showed through the clouds and it was colored a blood red. Anzu looked up to the moon. 'We shall be bonded through a special night...' Echoed through her mind. 'We never liked you...' Yami and Aqua's voice continued to echo through her head and she held her head in pain. "No! I will not let Yugi be the one you bond with on the Blood Moon night!" Anzu yelled. "But how can you stop it?" A voice said and she turned to see Shadow. "Kill Yugi. When the Blood Moon is revealed, I will kill him." Anzu mumbled.

"But if you do that, you will be killed yourself. I will leave you with this, interfere with a demon's mating time and you will die. Mess with Yugi on the night of the moon and both Yami and Aqua will hunt you down." Shadow quipped and backed away into the shadows. Soon the dream changed and she hovered over her dead body, Yami and Aqua as their demon forms feasting upon it and Yugi watching, a few bruises on him as if he was in a struggle. 'No, it can't be true.' Anzu thought and Shadow appeared again. "But it is. If you follow up with your plan to kill Yugi, this is what will happen." she murmured.

"I'm telling you this now but knowing you, you won't listen so this is a promise. Mess with Yugi and feel the wrath of Yami and Aqua. Tell anyone about them being demons and you will suffer horribly from them both." Soon as it came, the dream faded as she woke up. 'Don't hurt an Angel being watched over by a Demon.' A voice whispered as Anzu got up. "It was only a dream so I still have a chance." Anzu whispered to herself and looked at the time. It was 6:05 so she needed to get ready for school. 'Time to make my move before something does happen.' she thought, the dream replaying over in her head as well as the warning she was given that would ensure her life would still be hers.

Yugi woke up around six and got up. He had a nice dream the night before. It was about him meeting with Yami and Aqua again. This time, they confessed to him that they loved him. They took him out for dinner and a walk through the park where they showed him a hidden area that was set up just for him. He blushed when he remembered the kiss he shared with Yami under the moonlight. Unfortunately before he could get any farther into the dream, he woke up and was slightly disappointed. "Well, it was all a dream. It may never happen." he whispered to himself as he got out his uniform and headed for the bathroom.

Keara was in the kitchen fixing breakfast for Yugi and herself. Cazic and Innoruuk hadn't encountered anything last night so she let them be brought back into their stones after she got ready to go to school as well. Yugi came downstairs a few minutes later just as she was done fixing her plate. "Did you fix all this?" Yugi asked and she nodded. "You deserve a good breakfast, Yugi." she replied and he smiled as he sat down at the table and started to eat.

Shadow landed at the door of Yami and Aqua's house and knocked. Aqua was the one to open the door. "How did the dream go?" Aqua asked. "I warned her by showing what will happen if she tries to interfere with the mating process under the Blood Moon but I don't think she will listen." Shadow said. "Well, it will make it all the more fun for us. Why not shed blood on the Blood Moon? She will deserve it if she doesn't heed the warnings given to her." Aqua spoke. Shadow nodded and looked at the watch she wore. "Well, I better head home and get ready for school. You should as well."

"Alright, see you there." Aqua said as she unfurled her wings and flew off back to her house and he closed the door once she was gone. "Was that Shadow?" Yami asked as he came downstairs wearing his freshly pressed uniform. "Yeah, she said the warning dream was a success but she believes that Anzu wouldn't listen and I agree." Aqua answered. "Well, it will be her funeral is she doesn't listen. But for now, let's not worry about her. We should worry about Yugi. If he gets hurt by her, by Ra I will kill her." he snarled before calming down.

"Don't worry, Yami. Keara is protecting him so he will be safe. She has the Gods of Norrath with her so they will help protect Yugi as well." Aqua assured. "I know. Well, you better get your uniform on so we can get to school." Aqua nodded as he headed back upstairs to put on his uniform. He sighed softly as he sat down on the couch. 'Soon, Yugi, we'll be mated forever under demon rule and no one can separate us. Whoever dares try to will die.' Yami promised and they left when Aqua came back downstairs, ready for another day at school.

Yugi and Keara met up with Yugi's friends at school. "Well, Yugi, I need to head inside for a bit but take this." Keara spoke as she held out a blood red stone. Yugi took the stone and looked up to her. "It a special stone that holds a prince. He will protect you if Anzu tries to hurt you in any way today." she said and Yugi nodded as he pocketed the stone.

"Thanks, Keara."

"No problem. You need to stay like you are for something special will happen to you this week on the full moon." she spoke before leaving to head into the school building. 'I wonder what she meant?' Yugi wondered before he started to talk with his friend as they headed inside.

Yami and Aqua stood on the roof once again, waiting for the bell to ring so they head to class. Aqua knew at the most Yami will be watching Yugi. 'But at least we won't have to wait any longer. Only two more days.' Aqua thought. Keara walked onto the rooftop and looked to Yami who was currently zoned out. Aqua waved to her. "Hello, Keara. Was Yugi ok over the weekend?" he asked. She nodded. "Yes, I had Innoruuk and Cazic Thule keep an eye over the house at night and Veeshan to watch Anzu's house to make sure she wouldn't try to leave and head to Yugi's at night." she explained.

"Good. We need you to watch over him for the next two days and then convince him to head to the park so we can take him home and make him into our life mate before the Blood Moon dies out and then who knows how long we have to wait if we miss this opportunity." Aqua said and she nodded once again. "Don't worry, I have Innoruuk protecting him now." Keara said and the first bell rung, waking Yami from his daze.

"Well, better get to class. See you at lunch, Keara." Yami spoke as he headed back down with Aqua right behind him. Keara stayed on the roof a while longer before she headed down as well to get to her class.

"Welcome, class. Today we have some more students joining us. Come on in boys." The teacher called and the door opened to reveal six more boys. Two of them happen to look exactly like Ryou and Malik. The boy that looked like Ryou had darker eyes, almost making them look black even under the fluorescent light, and his hair was much rougher and a shade of grey compared to Ryou's powder white hair. There was a sphinx as well that happened to look much like Diamond as well but he had black fur and crimson eyes.

Beside them was the Malik look-alike. His hair stood up in a pattern that reminded him of how a flower would look like or someone that had stuck their finger in a light socket. (Zypher: -pauses to laugh-) But his eyes didn't have that protective, caring glow that Malik had but a maniacal feeling to them, almost like he was about to whip out a weapon and kill someone. He too had a sphinx beside him and he look exactly like Topaz if it wasn't for the fact he had longer hair and his fur looked to be a darker shade from Topaz's.

The last boy had chocolate brown hair and cerulean blue eyes that were cold to look at. By his side was a ruby red sphinx that had dark, scarlet red hair and ruby eyes to match. "These are our new students. Bakura Akuma, Crimson Jewelgate, Seto Kaiba, Ruby Jewelstone, Toben Espionage and Marik Nar." She said as she pointed to each. Some of the girls swooned but it didn't affect them. They looked like their interest was attracted to something else.

More like someone else.

"Well, you may take any available seats that are in the classrooms, boys." The teacher said and they nodded as they took their seats, each one happening to be next to one of Yugi's friends. Seto and Ruby sitting next to Jounouchi and Kaiser, Marik and Toben next to Malik and Topaz, and Bakura and Crimson next to Ryou and Diamond. Yami growled when he first saw them come in.

'What are they doing here? I thought they gave up with finding a mate long ago.' Yami thought but then thought about the particular seats they chose. 'Or maybe they have already found them.' Yami wondered before he gave up on it and started with his work, stealing glances over to Yugi as he worked.

After school, Yugi waved goodbye to his friend as he headed home. But he was held back by a hand in his shoulder and he turned to see Anzu. "What is it now?" Yugi questioned, not in the mood to really hear from her again. "I had a very interesting dream over the weekend, Yugi, and I think it may come true. So in lieu of that, I'm planning to take care of you so two demons won't be able to get you as a mate!" she snapped and Yugi looked up.

"What do you mean? There are demons around?" he asked. "Pfft! Well yeah! For some reason the dream was telling me that the demons were Yami and Aqua! If that's true, I'm not letting you be the one to have it out with them on the night of the Blood Moon!" she growled as she pulled out a hidden dagger.

"So say goodnight, Yugi!"

A bright flash from his pocket stopped her advance and Innoruuk stood in front of Yugi. He glared at her and punched her forcefully in the gut, knocking her back pretty far and the dagger dropped from her hand. Yugi looked up to him. "Thank you." Yugi whispered and Innoruuk turned to him. "It was nothing. Just call me if something happens again. Keara has told me to protect you if Anzu tries to hurt you in anyway. I plan to keep that promise so she wouldn't send Tunare or my daughter on me for not doing my job." Innoruuk murmured as he disappeared into the stone once again.

'I wonder what he meant?' Yugi wondered before he started off for home again. /Keara, this is Innoruuk. I believe we need to keep an closer eye on Anzu, she was almost close to killing Yugi today if I didn't show up to stop her./ Innoruuk murmured through a hidden link. /Ok. I'll relay the message to Yami and Aqua. You do the same or Laryns will be very angry with you./ she replied and he shuddered, not in the mood to deal with his daughter's wrath anytime soon.

Zypher: Well, that's the end of this chapter. You just got to love it when you have an advantage. Right, Laryns?

Laryns: Yes, my own father can be afraid of me when I get mad enough.

Zypher: And that's what I can use if he doesn't learn some manners.

Laryns: Glad to be of some help. But as for the readers; please review.
