Yami growled when he heard of what Anzu was close to succeeding in from Keara. "That brainless idiot! She would dare try and kill Yugi! When I get my hands on her, she will pay!" he roared as he paced through the living room. Aqua sat on the couch, angry as well but he didn't express it as much as Yami was at the moment. "I know she tried to but at least she didn't succeed. What should we do?" Aqua asked. Yami stopped pacing and thought on that. "We need to pay Yugi a visit. We need him to stay here for the night so I can cover some suspicions of mine."
"What suspicions?" he asked once more as he got up from the couch. "If he loves us. We only have two days left and if we don't show that we are interested then he may not agree to head to the park on the Blood Moon night. You know this would devastate me as well as you." Yami explained. Aqua had to agree and they headed off to the game shop to see Yugi and confirmed Yami's suspicions for truth or lie.

Jounouchi and Kaiser we at the park, nursing the wounds they got from their father. "Out of all days, why did it have to be today for him to go on an alcohol run?" Kaiser mumbled as he hissed from a slash he got on his arm from a bottle shard. Jounouchi was worse for wear, slash marks and bruises that were starting to show marring his body.
Fortunately for them, Seto and Ruby shadowed them after school and they were pissed to see that their father beat them to the point where they could have been injured badly. Mr. Katsuya was in for a quick end.

Jou's dad, John, was sprawled out on the couch, drinking even more beer. Soon it became dark in the house and he sat up. "Whose there?" he slurred as he got up, stumbling a bit. A pair a gleaming blue eyes stared at him with anger. "Your worst nightmare." The voice hissed and Seto stepped out from the shadows, growling. Ruby stepped out behind John, trapping him.
They were both in their demon forms, Seto a blue dragon demon that looked remarkably like the Blue Eyes White Dragon while Ruby was a red dragon of the same type so he was normally known as the Ruby Eyed Red Dragon. They were both angered to the point of no return that he would dare hurt Jounouchi and Kaiser, his own flesh and blood, especially for so long. John was scared to the point where he could've pissed his pants. He never heard about demons roaming around Domino City so he wasn't really afraid of them. But seeing one pissed off and up close did.
"You will pay for hurting Jounouchi and Kaiser. They weren't the cause for why your wife left you. You and your drinking are what caused it as well as Jounouchi and Kaiser's pain and we do not take that lightly." Ruby hissed, reading his mind like a book and found out why he was beating on Jounouchi and Kaiser. "Please, spare me." John pleaded. "We would have if we didn't see our little mates in the park harboring bruises and cuts that you gave to them. If they were unharmed then yes but they aren't, now are they?" Seto asked, glaring at the shaking man in front of him.
"I can change! Please! Spare my life!" he pleaded once more but he gasped as he looked down, a large, bloodied claw going through his stomach. Ruby pulled away. "I hope you had a good life cause you won't be seeing the light of day ever again." he hissed darkly and they disappeared back into the shadows from whence they came, planning to head to the park to see Jounouchi and Kaiser and bring them to a more loving home so they won't have to see their father's body rot in the apartment.

While Seto and Ruby were taking care of their father, Jounouchi and Kaiser were at the park, sleeping. They couldn't bear to head back home and get beaten once again so they settled to stay in the park tonight. But what they weren't expecting was that it was going to be a cold night.
Seto and Ruby walked into the park and Seto frowned when he saw Jounouchi shivering from the cold. He walked over to the bench where they were sleeping and picked him up. "Poor puppy. You shouldn't have suffered like this. It's time for you to have a new home." he whispered and Jounouchi snuggled closer into Seto, smiling softly. Seto unfurled his wings and flew up a bit as he waited for Ruby and once he picked up Kaiser, they flew back home.

Later that night, Bakura and Crimson landed on the roof of Ryou and Diamond's house. They weren't able to catch them before they left school earlier today so they settled for following them home. Bakura wanted to make a good impression in front of Ryou but with Diamond worrying about what could happen to him made it slightly harder. Grateful enough that there was a tree that was near Ryou's window, Bakura walked over and jumped onto one of the tree branches, climbing down until he was level with the window and hid his wings as he knocked onto the glass.
Ryou looked up and saw Bakura in the tree by his window and walked over, opening the window. "What are you doing here?" Ryou asked. "I came to see you, I never had a chance to talk to you when we were in school today. May I come in?" Bakura asked. Ryou nodded and moved out the way as he climbed in. Ryou went to sit on his bed and Bakura took a seat in the chair near his desk. "So, what do you want to talk about?" he asked.
"Well, for starters, I would like to know more about you, Ryou."

Yugi looked up when he heard a knock on the game shop door and he went to go see who would come out so late. He opened the door and Yami smiled. "Hello, Yugi." he said. "Oh. Yami, Aqua, it's you two. What are you two doing out so late?" Yugi asked as he let them inside. "We had to talk to you, Yugi. About something very important. Keara told me about what happen today and I cannot forgive Anzu for what she almost did to you." Yami said and Yugi nodded. "What do you need to talk to me about?"
"Yugi, when we first met you that day when we came in, we couldn't deny the feelings that we felt for you. We wanted to do everything that we could to make sure you are happy and safe. This is a secret that you must keep for it could put you in danger. Will you keep this secret for us, Yugi?"
Yugi nodded. "I will." Yugi whispered. Aqua nodded. "Ok then. In truth, Yugi, we aren't mortal. We are demons." Aqua confessed. Yugi looked to them in shock. "Don't be afraid for we will not hurt you in any way. Every month there is a night called the Blood Moon where it rises a deep red. Demons of this time have a purpose on this night. If the demon is willing, they can ask someone, mortal or demon, to become their mate for life. If they were to choose a mortal, then the mortal must become a demon so they can stay with the demon they are mated with. Yugi, we wanted to ask if you want to be with us as our mate. We love you and we can't bear the thought to live our immortal lives without you by our side. Will you accept our request?" Aqua asked, eyes pleading for the younger to say yes and not deny them this chance of happiness that could be the only chance they have for the rest of their immortal lives.
Yugi thought about it for a minute, going silent and leave the other two anxious of his answer. 'This is important to them and all of demon-kind, but this is a big step for me. But like them, I can't deny the feelings I felt for them when we first met.' Yugi thought and making his decision final, he looked up to Yami and Aqua. "I will accept your request and become your life mate." Yugi said and they smiled, happy that Yugi had agreed.
"Great. Thank you, Yugi, for agreeing to our request. Meet with us at the park in two days' time and we'll take you to our home so we can enact the mating ritual." Yami spoke as he and Aqua got up. Yugi got up as well and walked over to Yami, wrapping his small arms around his waist. "I thank you both as well. If you never told me about this I may have never told you my feelings as well. I was about to give up on them since I couldn't bear rejection from you." Yugi whispered, slight tears in his eyes.
Yami turned and knelt down to him. "Yugi, we would never reject you or your feelings. We were worried about the same thing but at least we were able to meet you before we could find someone else to mate with on the Blood Moon night." he murmured, kissing his tears away. "Now we must go so we'll see you in school tomorrow." Yugi smiled and nodded as watched as they left before he went to lock the door as headed upstairs to get some rest, happily waiting for the two days to be up so he could be with Yami and Aqua forever.

Anzu took a walk outside, trying to clear her mind so she can think of another way of how she could get to Yugi before the two days are up. But she bumped into someone and looked up to see a 18-year-old cat hybrid glaring down at her. "I heard from a reliable source that you tried to kill Yugi earlier on today." The hybrid said.
She glared right back. "Yeah and what's it to you?" she questioned. "I happen to be a distant cousin of Yami and what you tried to do to his and Aqua's future mate is unacceptable in my terms." Sphinx said, growling slightly. "So, what are you going to do about it?" Anzu taunted as she walked up closer to Sphinx which was her undoing as she grabbed onto her arm and with enough force, she broke it and Anzu wailed in pain as she tried to back away.
Sphinx grinned as she heard her cry out in pain and she held onto her arm more, twisting it to inflict more pain to her before she let go and Anzu fell back, holding her arm. "You will pay for this." she muttered as she got up before she ran off, knowing she need to get to the hospital and fast.

Laryns: Well, I'm done. How is it, Zypher?
Zypher: For a first try, it's very good. I might start letting you do this more often
