After school, Jounouchi and Kaiser waited outside for Seto and Ruby. Jounouchi was wary of his surroundings, thinking that Otogi and Jade may pop out from somewhere and snatch them up liked they almost did that morning. 'Please, don't let them show up again.' Jounouchi thought to himself silently.

Seto and Ruby were the last people to come out from the school building and they walked over to Jounouchi and Kaiser. "Are you ready to head home, puppy?" Seto asked. Jounouchi, although scared that something might happen, nodded. Seto took his hand and looked to him. "Don't worry, Jounouchi. I won't let him come after you again. He doesn't know that you'll be staying with me so he can't come after you tonight or tomorrow to try and claim you. I will keep you safe no matter what." he whispered and Jounouchi nodded. Seto unfurled large blue wings and picked up the blonde, flying off. Ruby did the same and Kaiser held onto him as he followed Seto back to their home.

Marik and Toben landed in the park, which is where Topaz and Malik were at currently, taking a break from all the schoolwork they had to do. "Well, at least Isis isn't home or else we would have been in trouble for ditching our homework." Topaz muttered. Malik nodded, never noticing that Marik was behind him until he felt a hand on his shoulder and he jumped up in shock before he turned around and saw the most handsome man that he ever saw in his life.

He looked like an exact replica of him except for his hair and eyes. His hair was done up in a spiked style, going every which way on his head and his eyes were a darker lavender compared to his. Topaz saw that Malik was staring at someone and turned to see who it was and gasped when he saw Marik, getting up as well. He then saw Toben and felt the same reaction as Malik. Darker fur and wine-red eyes made him feel something that he never did before. Why? Because he and Malik made an oath to never love again after what happened the last time they were in love with someone.

When they first came to Domino, it was fine and all until they met someone. They couldn't remember their names but they were kind and sweet to them and soon they fell in love. But they had to leave because they needed to move. They thought they would never meet another person like them so they gave up on love but now, this man and his sphinx showed up out of nowhere and their feelings were slowly rekindling.

"Who are you?" Malik asked. "I'm Marik Nar and he's Toben Espionage. We have come here from Egypt to look for you two." Marik explained. Malik was shocked. They came here to look for him and Topaz? 'But why?' Malik thought and Topaz took the time to voice his exact thoughts. "But why? We are nothing that you should come all the way here to find." Topaz spoke. "On the contrary, we have something to ask of you. What we tell you may shock you but you need to know this for it is your destiny as well as ours." Malik didn't know why but to him, this was important even though they just met today. 'Something is going to happen tomorrow. I cannot deny what he is to ask me.'

"Well, tomorrow night is the night of the Blood Moon where demons are to find someone that will be willing to be their life mate. Me and Toben are demons and we have chosen you two to be our mates ever since you were born. We would have come to you earlier but since you were so young, we could not do such an act. We waited until you were old enough to be taken in as mates but then, you both left before the next Blood Moon came to rise. We have tried everything we know to locate you both but it was of no use. We thought we have lost you until now." Marik explained.

"But how did you two get here so fast if you were in Egypt?" Topaz asked. "I told you, were demons, and dark demons such as ourselves can fly at high speeds to reach our destination. And our destination was the two of you." Toben responded. "So what do we do now?" Malik asked as he walked closer to Marik. He wrapped an arm around his waist quietly.

"Well, would you mind if we stay at your house? We need somewhere to stay for tonight and tomorrow, we'll go out and find somewhere we can go to so we can start the mating ritual. I don't think your sister will be too thrilled to hear us." Marik said and Malik blushed, nodding. "Yeah, she won't be too pleased about it. We better get home so at least we can sneak both of you in without her knowing." Topaz spoke and they left to head home before Isis returned.

Yami, Aqua and Yugi sat within his large home, relaxing together on the large sofa that was placed in the living room, the three of them watching a movie together. Yugi agreed to stay with them tonight and tomorrow so they can start with the ritual when the time is right.

Anzu watched them with a sneer on her face. She heard from Seto when she came out of the school building earlier when he was saving Jounouchi from Otogi that the Blood Moon was tomorrow and now that she knew, she was planning to make sure Yugi wasn't there to perform the ritual. 'You have been nothing but a problem, Yugi. It's time for you to be gone from life for good.' Anzu thought but had a feeling that someone was behind her and turned to see Keara there.

"And why may I ask are you spying on them?" she questioned. "That's none of your business." Anzu answered as she started to walk away. "Well, I'll tell you this. If you don't listen to your dream then you will die tomorrow under the moon." she quipped and Anzu turned back to her in shock. "How did you know!" Anzu exclaimed, anger marring her features. "Shadow told me since she was the one who gave you the warning but if you don't want to listen then don't bother. I think the world will be a better place without you." she spoke as she walked off.

Anzu growled before she headed home too, making up a plan to come after Yugi tonight.

Later on, the movie was over and Yugi was asleep. Yami didn't have the heart to move him so he brought out one of his wings and wrapped it around Yugi to use as a blanket. He snuggled into the warmth and he smiled softly. Yugi was nothing less than a cute, little angel. 'And he will soon be ours.' he thought as he fell asleep as well. Anzu came up to the house and walked to the door. She took out a lock pick and she tried to get the door open. After a few tries and many curses, she was able to get it open and she walked inside, taking out a dagger as she headed into the living room. She saw Yugi curled up under Yami's wing and knew this wouldn't be easy.

She snuck over to them, watching out for Aqua who was on the floor beside them, asleep but his ears twitched from every sound she made and she was scared that the other may wake up and find out she was here. 'Yugi is going to get me caught and if I am, if I'm not dead, he will pay for this severely.' she thought as she finally reached Yami and Yugi and did the task of trying to move Yami's wing away without waking him.

He pulled Yugi closer when she tried to move his wing away and she hissed in frustration. She reached out again but stepped back when he shifted and almost hit Aqua but she regained her balance before she could fall on the sleeping dragon. She tried once more but unfortunate for her, Aqua was waking up and when he saw her there, he growled and caught her attention. She turned and moved away as he got up. 'I'm in trouble now.' she thought as Aqua glared at her. "What are you doing here?" Aqua hissed, still growling but not loud enough to wake Yami or Yugi. She didn't have anything to say but even if she did tell, she was either going to be killed or chased out the house. "Well?" he asked again.

"I came in here to see you and Yami but finding out you two were asleep, I was going to leave." Anzu said as she backed away more, never seeing the change in Aqua until she looked up into his eyes and saw they were a different shade of red. Like spilled blood. "If that's all you came here for then why did you have a dagger?" he murmured in a deep, enticing voice and she cursed herself for not hiding the dagger.

"You planned to kill Yugi, am I right? Did you really think you could get away with it when we could smell your foul stench in the air? You have got to plan better if you think you can trick a demon. Especially two who has lived for 3,000 years." he continued as he took a step towards her. She took that as a sign and bolted from the house but she didn't expect Aqua to chase her until she was pinned under his claws, staring at him in fear of what he may do.

"You may now know that tomorrow is the Blood Moon. If we don't see you then we won't kill you. But if we do then your death will be very enjoyable." Aqua growled, hissing slightly like a cobra ready to strike. She nodded even though in her mind, she was still contemplating on killing Yugi tomorrow but she will have to wait until the boy was alone. Aqua let her go and she got up as he started to leave, giving her a good hit with his tail which made her fall back once again, gasping for air.

Little did she know that Aqua read her thoughts and knew of her plan and she was going to pay for it tomorrow.

Yugi woke up a little while later, just as Aqua was coming back in and locking the door. He looked over to the dragon demon before he came out from under Yami's wing and walked over to him. "Aqua, where did you go?" Yugi asked and he looked down to him. "I had to take care of an intruder. She was planning to kill you if I didn't wake up to stop her from succeeding." he answered and leaned down to nuzzle him. He smiled and pat his snout gently. "Thank you, Aqua." he whispered and Aqua nodded as he was taken back into the living room with Yugi and he lied back down on the floor as Yugi went back under Yami's wing. "Night, Aqua." he bid as he fell back asleep.

"Goodnight, little one." he whispered as he placed his head on his crossed arms and fell asleep as well, relaying the event of Anzu's attempt to Yami who growled in his sleep and pulled Yugi closer to him just in case she planned to try again before the next day.

Zypher: There, all done. Please review so we can get to Anzu's demise.
