Demons of the Darkness
Chapter 8

The next day, Yami woke up and smiled down to Yugi who was still asleep. He smiled softly and let the boy stay asleep for a while longer. He unwrapped his wing from around him, making him whine from the lack of warmth. 'Such a cute angel.' He thought as he went to leave, knowing that Yugi will be perfectly fine in the house as long as Aqua's there.
'Now I need to go and find Keara. I will need her help until tonight.' Yami thought as he flew off into the early morning light, heading to Keara's home.

Seto made sure his guards were watching Jounouchi and Kaiser with a close eye before he and Ruby left. As much as he would like to stay, that would make Otogi and Jade suspicious about why they weren't at school. He had a feeling that Otogi would make another attempt to get Jounouchi so he knew that he would be safer at home but they will be leaving early so they can keep an eye on them until tonight.

Bakura and Crimson walked to school with Ryou and Diamond, warding off any other demons that were hidden and try to get them. They weren't going to let them get taken away since those that are desperate will try to come after another demons' mate and he wasn't going to let that happen with Ryou.
'I will never let another demon take you away from me before the day is over. You are mine just as I am yours and we will be together until the day the world ends.' Bakura thought to himself as they walked into school.

Anzu looked around the hallways to see if she can spot Yami, Aqua or Yugi but with no sign of them, she growled and left to head to class before the halls got too crowded. 'He will not get away from me. I will beat Yugi to a bloody pulp before the night's over.' she thought.

Otogi and Jade headed back for Domino High, planning to take Jounouchi and Kaiser by force. "I will not let Kaiba win this time. Jounouchi will be mine." Otogi growled as they headed inside as well, looking for any traces of the boy and sphinx that they wanted.

Marik and Toben didn't want Malik and Topaz to leave for school today and as much as Malik wanted to take up in that offer, he had to or Isis will chew them out for not going to school. After much determination to try and get them to stay home, he knew it couldn't happen so he let them go to school.
"We will come pick you two up after school, though. By then we should have a place found so we can stay there for the night so we can conduct the ritual and if you want, you can come back tomorrow." Marik spoke and he nodded. "Ok, meet you at the front gate." Malik said as he and Topaz left for school. As soon as they were gone, Marik followed them from the air, knowing that a lot of demons that don't have mates will try to come after another's and he wasn't going to let Malik or Topaz be one of them.

Yami landed on Keara's porch and she came out just as she saw him land. "Hey, Yami, thought I wasn't going to see you at all today." Keara spoke as she let him inside. "Yeah, I was planning to stay home with Yugi for the day but I need someone to keep an eye out for Anzu. Do you think you can do that for me?" Yami asked and she nodded.
"Of course! Besides, Veeshan said that she had enough of Anzu and she wants to see Aqua." Keara answered, knowing that Veeshan may be the mother of Dragons but she treats Aqua like an equal. "Alright. I better get back home, Yugi might be awake and wondering where I am right now." Yami spoke as he waved goodbye before flying off.

Yugi woke up a while later and saw that Yami wasn't here. He expected that he went to school since it was way past the second bell so he didn't want to bother coming in late. He saw Aqua still asleep and smiled as he got up from the couch and went to kneel down beside him, petting him softly and heard him purr deeply.
Yami came inside and looked to Yugi who was petting Aqua still and he smiled, glad that he and Aqua was able to find such a gentle person like Yugi. "Soon, Yugi, you won't have to wait long for the night is here. You will become our mate and Anzu will be dead." Yami whispered before he walked into the living room.

School ended too soon for Yami's liking. He was worried about Yugi. He left out a while ago before school ended to get him and Aqua something but he wanted to keep it as a surprise so they didn't go with him. With demons roaming around at the most to steal another's mate and Anzu trying to kill him before tonight made him want to go out and make sure he was alright but he nor Aqua couldn't deny his wishes.
'Hopefully Keara sent out Veeshan to protect him. If one demon gets him then by Ra I will kill them.' Yami thought as he tried to relax and not think about Yugi being in any danger while he was gone.

Yugi walked through the mall, looking at different shops, trying to see what he could get for Yami and Aqua. He has been wary thought for some of the people were giving him looks and if he was right in his assumption, they must've been demons trying to look for a mate for tonight and even thought he was already taken, they look desperate enough to take another's. 'I know if Yami or Aqua were here with me, they'd be backing away right now.' Yugi thought. But luckily enough for him, they were staying back. But one wasn't. He was looking at Yugi with a gleam in his eye. 'He'll be perfect.' The man thought before he left, waiting for the right time to take the boy.
Yugi came up to a hidden shop. He looked around to see that people were passing by as if the shop wasn't there. 'I wonder,' Yugi thought as he went inside. The shopkeeper looked up when he heard someone enter and smiled softly. "Welcome, little one. How may I be of service to you?" The humanoid blue dragon asked. Yugi looked around and knew why this shop was hidden. It was a shop that looked like many demons and other supernatural beings come into so of course no human could see it but how could he see the shop? "Yes, I wanted to find something for my two mates. Seeing as this shop looks like a place for supernaturals to shop, I thought I come in." Yugi said.
The dragon came from behind the counter and looked down to Yugi. "Well, seeing as tonight is a special night for all demons, I may have something for you. Follow me." The dragon said as he walked into the back behind the counter. Yugi followed the dragon and stopped once he saw the different pendants and charms that were in the room. "You may pick anything that you think will please your mates. I will let you have them free of charge since you look so innocent and deserving to have two demons protect you from unworthy people." The blue dragon said. "Thank you," Yugi started. "Zaire." The dragon known as Zaire finished for him.
Yugi smiled to the dragon before he looked around the room. He spotted a pendant with a red ruby in the center. Around the outside edge was a black dragon coiled around it and it has the same ruby as its eye. 'That will be perfect for Yami.' Yugi thought as he picked up the pendant and he continued to look around for something to give to Aqua.
He saw an Egyptian broad collar made from gold and it had an aquamarine gem in the center. It hung low in the front so it would cover some of his chest partially and it clasped around in the back. 'Aqua would like this seeing as he's an Egyptian dragon demon.' Yugi thought as he picked up the collar and walked out from the room. He let Zaire wrap the two items and then he left out, waving goodbye to the blue dragon.
Unknown to him, another demon was following from behind and will not stop until he gets what he wants.

Marik and Toben picked up Malik and Topaz after school, taking them to their small apartment that they stayed in when they first came here to look for Malik and Topaz. Malik was anxious about what will happen tonight and hoped that Isis would approve of what he and Topaz were about to do. 'If not then staying with them would be the best option.' Malik thought as Marik landed and placed him down as well and walked inside, Toben following from behind.

Anzu spotted Yugi when he was walking home and grinned in satisfaction. He was alone and that gave her the perfect chance to do what she needed. But before she could do so, a large shadow came and snatched Yugi away. He cried out as the shadow flew away and she growled, not planning to let another demon capture Yugi. She wouldn't care but if Yugi's alive, then Yami and Aqua will surely come after him. Yami's head shot up when he heard Yugi and he nudged Aqua and he got up as well. "What going on?" Aqua asked. "Yugi's in trouble. He must've got caught by another demon." Yami hissed and they ran from the room, shifting into their demon forms as they followed the demon's trail.
Yugi struggled in the demon's grip but he wouldn't let go so he gave up and hoped that Yami or Aqua heard him. He was very close to the house before he got caught. "Don't worry, little one. I won't hurt you. At least not too much for when the night's done, you will be nothing but a slave to me." The demon purred. "Not unless Yami and Aqua come after you. You will be dead." Yugi hissed back. The demon landed and dropped Yugi who tried to run off but the demon wouldn't let him. "Let go of him, Pegasus!" Yami snarled, landing in front of the gargoyle demon that stood in front of him. Aqua landed beside him, growling.
"Ah, so nice of you to join us. Guess you came to save the boy?" Pegasus asked haughtily as he pushed Yugi away. "Yes, he's ours and no other demon will claim him unless they have a death wish. You just so happen to have a big one with us." Aqua sneered. "Well, you have killed off my mate before and this will be pay back!" Pegasus spoke and Yami roared, attacking Pegasus. Yugi ran over to Aqua who picked him up. "Are you alright, Yugi?" he asked as the fight continued, Yami having a good advantage with the aged demon. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm glad you both came." Yugi replied as he was placed down once more. Yami bit into Pegasus' neck hard, feeling the black blood well up and he let go, backing away.
It was an easy fight seeing as he was weak. Pegasus growled and tried to attack Yami once again but he was impaled by Aqua's claws that dug into his chest and ripped out his still beating heart. In an instant, the heart burned and he screamed in pain before he fell to ash. He whispered only one thing and that he was going to come back. Yami and Aqua highly doubt it. Anzu watched the display and seeing as Yami and Aqua weren't watching Yugi, she snuck over and covered his mouth before dragging him away. Yami turned and not seeing Yugi there, he growled again and jumped up into the air, Aqua following his example once he noticed Yugi was gone too.
"If another demon has him then he will die. I had enough of this!" Yami roared and flew off in one direction, Aqua heading the other way. Both were determined to find Yugi before something happens.

Yugi was slammed against the wall, losing the gifts he has for Yami and Aqua but Anzu didn't pay no mind to them as she walked over to Yugi and kicked him in the side. "I told you, Yugi, you will pay for making me lose this chance to be with Yami and Aqua for life! They had to go and see you! If you weren't there then maybe I could have had a chance!" Anzu sneered as she continued to beat on Yugi well into the night.
Yami, with his sharp sight, saw Anzu and Yugi in the alley and growled. He heard someone else coming to him and he looked over to see Veeshan. "Veeshan, I'm glad you came." Yami said. /It was nothing. This girl will pay for her insolence for hurting such a pure soul like Yugi./ Veeshan spoke. Yami nodded as the dragon flew down and landed in the alley quietly.

She heard snarling right beside her and looked over to see Veeshan there and screamed as the dragon roared at her and ran out from the alley. Yugi looked up, the bruises making it hard for him to get up. Veeshan helped him onto her back and she flew out from the alley, grabbing the bag that held Yugi's gifts. She passed him over to Yami who thanked her.
Aqua came by them later and was happy to see Veeshan after a while. "Come on, Aqua. We have a foul girl to take care of. Do you mind watching him, Veeshan?" Yami asked. She nodded as she took Yugi once again and both Yami and Aqua went to follow Anzu to finish up what the dream was trying to warn her about.

She continued to run, hoping to lose Yami and Aqua before they find her but it was too late. She heard roaring from above then she was face down in the ground, Aqua holding her down. "I told you but you didn't listen. For that you will die under the light of the Blood Moon." Yami whispered as the clouds parted to reveal the red glow of the moon, bathing the city in red.
She cried softly. "Please! Don't kill me! I should have listened! I will now if you let me go!" Anzu pleaded. Yami growled and she stopped with her pleading. "You should have listened when we first gave the warning to you. But you didn't and as demons, you shall pay the price for not only disobeying but for hurting our future mate." Yami hissed and looked to Aqua who pressed her into the hard street even more.
She gasped out in pain before she started to struggle, trying to break free but it was futile. Aqua continued to press her down into the ground before he heard the satisfying crack of her spine and let up, knowing that it swiftly killed her. Veeshan landed and sat Yugi down on the sidewalk. /Well, I must be going now. You two have a nice night./ Veeshan spoke as she flew away again. Yami walked over to him as Aqua started to tear into Anzu's body, wanting to make sure that nothing of her existence remains. "Are you ok?" Yami asked with concern. Yugi nodded. "I'm ok, still feeling a bit of pain but is should go away before the mating ritual." Yami nodded before he nuzzled the small boy.
"Oh yeah, and I was able to get this for you." Yugi said as he pulled out the wrapped box that held Yami's pendant. He took the box and opened it, smiling as he took out the ruby pendant. "It's beautiful, Yugi, but not as beautiful as you." Yami whispered as he placed the pendant on and went back over to Aqua and finished off the body as Aqua walked over to Yugi. He gave him his gift as well and once Yami was done, he banished away the remains of the girl to the Plain of Hate so Innoruuk can torture her soul and they took Yugi home, ready for the night ahead.
