WARNING SHONEN-AI IN THIS SCENE, AS IN MALE ON MALE FLUFF. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
CHAPTER 7
Yugi opened his amethyst eyes, he still felt weak, the blood loss still having its hold. He looked to the still sleeping form of Yami, the beauty of him making Yugi's stomach do flip-flops. The dark eyelashes gracing his cheek as the closed eyelids fluttered in some dream. The Tan skin, at odds with what he was looked good enough to taste. Yugi found himself now wondering what Yami tasted like. Perhaps chocolate, or maybe cinnamon. He had a strange feeling he had kissed him already, and that indeed he did taste like Cinnamon. But was it a dream? He hoped not, for in the dream Yami had come to realise that he had not betrayed him, and that he had fallen in love with the vampire. Yugi looked to the exotic lips, seeking once again to claim them, but he dare not. Returning to the closed eye's Yugi watched as they fluttered open to reveal the deep crimson pools that he loved. Yami stared at him a moment then smiled.
"Good night Hikari" Yugi felt his heart take flight, Hikari. It hadn't been a dream. He felt Yami stroke his cheek with a callused yet soft touch, and he leaned into it, aching for more. Then he felt the warm lips on his forehead, as Yami kissed him.
"How are you felling little one?" the tone laced with concern and love.
"Dizzy" Yugi mumbled, his words slurred.
"That's to be expected, but I'll take you to a friend I can trust. Up to a little flight?" Yugi nodded closing his eyes once more, showing the complete trust he had in Yami. The vampire proceeded to wrap his love tightly in the silk sheets. To keep him warm during the flight. He held the small form bridal style, Yugi cuddling up to the warmth of his neck. Opening the door, he was met with the sweet, fresh sent of the night. And never before had it held such beauty to him as it did right now, with this one in his arms. He extended his wings and with a leap took to the sky, the wind playing with both their hair as in gentle caress. The wings shifted and moved with the currents gliding to his destination, every so often the great flaps of skin would beat when their altitude dropped. He flew out of the city, past the suburbs and into the country, the mountain ranges of Japan coming to great him. He had come to this place centuries ago, no longer could he take the reminders his home country gave him, to the betrayal of his love.
All too soon a Japanese house came into view, it was richly carved of wood, gold leaf played upon them, it was a ancient temple of priest long ago, fitting that Seto would make this his home. He had not seen Seto for a long time, they had fallen out many years ago, and it had been Yami's fault. He had been on a train of self destruction, killing all who came in his way, Seto wanted to hide in the mountains and only taking what blood he needed, Yami had hated the world, hated the living. So he had killed all he drank from. Seto had argued with him, they had fought. And parted ways. He only hoped Seto would help Yugi. The blood loss was serious, he could tell by the nearly translucent skin. The fight with his past had taken what little strength he had left.
Yami landed outside the great doors, carved dragons his welcome, but he had a feeling of being watched. He walked to the door and slowly pushed it open to reveal a place richly furnished, fires blazed in torches on the wall, the warmth comforting his skin, the cold did not bother him, but he still liked warmth. He took one more step, and found himself sealed. He looked down to see a spellbinding circle.
"Your slipping Yami, normally you would have seen that a mile off" came a cold, calculating voice, he saw sapphire eyes regarding him.
"Let me got Seto, you have to help me"
"HAVE? I don't have to do anything. You made that quite clear the last time you were here" The form walked from the shadows, showing him wearing leather like Yami, also he had a large trench coat that seemed to defy gravity and flail out behind him.
"I know, I'm sorry. I deserve that, but it's not for me. It's for him" Yami indicated the bundle in his arms; Seto regarded Yami for a moment, the walked forward with wave of his hand, dispelling the spellbinding circle in the process. He looked to the form of Yugi, and gasped looking back at Yami.
"I know, strange isn't it, but he has lost blood, and NO, before you ask, it wasn't me. It was a vampire hunter Pegasus; he raped and beat the boy. And the boy protected me, saved me. So please Seto" Yami looked pleadingly at Seto, the old friend was shocked to see the sincerity, perhaps Yami has changed for the good.
"Very well, follow me" Seto lead them deep into his home, Yami smiled at the amount of dragons, Seto had always been obsessed with them. They came to a room of statues from Egypt, he saw various post of herbs lining the selves. Seto indicated the table.
"Lay him on there" Yami did so, grabbing a cushion for his head. Yugi clawed at his hand, thinking Yami was leaving him. Yami gently caressed the boy's hair.
"Shh Yugi, it's ok, I'm not leaving you. This is a dear friend of mine, he's going to make you feel better ok?" Yugi nodded and smiled at Seto, who couldn't help but smile back. He want over to a shelf and started mixing a concoction that would make Yugi's blood replenish it's self 5 times as fast, he would be fine in a couple of hours. Returning to the boy he cradled the limp form to him.
"Hello Yugi, I'm Seto. I need you to drink all this ok?" Yugi gave him a small nod. And Seto placed the cup to his lips. He drank all the liquid. Seto kept hold of him, already you could see some strength return to the small one. Seto looked up and nearly cracked up laughing at the possessive look Yami was glaring his way.
"Don't worry, you can have him back now my pharaoh" he chuckled; Yami took the boy from him lovingly. And Seto smiled once more seeing the young one cuddled to his embrace. The Seto shook his head
"By Ra, I'm getting soft in my old age" he looked up to Yami's deep laugh.
"You know you love it really Seto, and I beg your forgiveness for my actions"
"Yeah, yeah, you're forgiven. I know it hurt you deeply what she did, but it seems this mortal has done you some good," Seto laughed at the blush that graced Yugi's face.
"Speaking of mortal, he must be hungry, as must you be also. Come on, let's eat."
They sat in a great hall, the oak table before them. Yugi sat on Yami's lap, eating the fruit and meat that had been brought to him. Yami had a gold chalice of blood before him, as did Seto. Yugi had wondered why Seto kept Mortal food, but he explained that he got his blood from willing mortals, so he had to feed them. He would take only the blood needed, and never from the same person twice in one day. So he had many people living here, they were like his students, keeping the traditions of his priesthood of Egypt alive. They copied decaying text so the stories would survive. They all knew what Seto was, and who he used to be. But they did not hate him for it. And they knew he would not hurt them.
"So, how did you two become friends?" Yugi asked after eating his fill, leaning against Yami."
"Well, when I was Pharaoh, Seto was my high priest, but we had been friends growing up also. I had taken the throne at a young age after my father was assonated."
"Whoa, you mean you told him, about you being Pharaoh?" Seto exclaimed from across the table. Yami turned to him a smile on his lips.
"Didn't need to, he knew already. You see, he found this." Yami fished out the Millennium Puzzle from where it was hiding behind Yugi. Seto gasped upon seeing it.
"He completed it? But how?" Seto came round to touch the puzzle, as if to make sure it was real.
"I don't know, I was always good at Puzzles, my grandfather found it on a dig in Egypt, of the banished Pharaoh. He gave it to me before he died. I always thought I should finish it. When I did, I started to have dreams of Yami and the past. And that his name was Atemu."
Seto began to laugh, and Yugi looked at him. Yami also looked to him in shock.
"What is it Seto?"
"Ra must have chosen a new Guardian to be born when the puzzle was un-earthed. To Guard it until it could be returned to his true son. Yugi is a shadow of you, of your soul. Your soul mate. All the pharaohs that came after you were false, born of the betrayal by your wife Ruia."
Yugi felt Yami tense at the mention of his wife, he laid a comforting hand on the arms that circled his waist, and leaned back to he could look at Yami. Yami looked down and smiled at him in gratitude, leaning down to kiss Yugi's forehead. Making the little one giggle. Seto smiled at the two.
"So Seto what does this mean?" Yami asked.
"What it means my pharaoh and dear friend, is that Yugi will also be able to use the power of the puzzle, and that the two of you were destined for one another"
Yami hugged his soul mate tighter, wanting to feel him close, Yugi turned round and hugged Yami around his neck, nuzzling into his love, Yami placed small kisses on Yugi's neck, making the boy shiver and nuzzle closer. They stopped at Seto's cough, both blushing.
"Anyway, as I was answering. Me and Yami were friends, when Atemu got turned into what you see and became Yami, they dragged him from the palace and staked him in front of Ra, I set him free."
"Yeah, the puzzle showed me that" Yugi said sadly.
"Yes well, shortly after that Yami entered into what we call the blood lust, he needed to sate his huge hunger, and in the process, killed many and turned me into a vampire. But I do not blame him. When the blood lust takes you, you have no control. He nearly killed himself after he came back to his sense and realized what he had done to me."
"So you both come from ancient Egypt?" Yugi asked
"Yes" they both replied at the same time.
"Wow, that's old"
"Oh thanks," they both said again, at exactly the same time. Yami got a devilish smirk and started to tickle Yugi.
"Yami…ha ha ha…stop please, Yugi writhed in his lap
"Sorry. WHAT, I can't hear you, these old ears of mine. What?" Yami pretended to be deaf. Seto was howling with laughter.
"Yami.. ha.. I'm sorry…you're not old…." Yugi took in gulps of air as Yami stopped tickling him.
The night continued on, they talked, Yami had a game of duel monsters with Seto, then Yugi challenged Seto, Yami marvelled that him and Yugi had the exact same deck. Yugi beat Seto, much to Seto's annoyance. He told them two to challenge each other. That was a BIG mistake. It went on for four hours, until Seto got bored and declared it a draw.
"Remind me to tape your next duel you two, so I can just watch the highlights, and fast forward to the end. Geez, seems the king of Games had met his match hey Yami" Seto prodded Yami, which earned him fighting with the Pharaoh on the floor. Yugi just sat and watch this play fight. Soon the two tired themselves out.
"Right. I'm off to bed, and you two will be my guests." Seto lead tem to a rich room, like the whole damn place. And left the two there. Yami carried Yugi over to the bed, and pulled the sheets back. He placed the young one in the centre. Then he too crawled in, but not before taking off the leather vest. Yugi blushed at seeing the well-toned chest; Yami crawled over to him, covering them both. He wrapped Yugi in his safe embrace kissing the boys forehead.
Yugi turned his face up, their lips inches apart. He gazed into those crimson orbs of the soul; saw the love that was held for him alone. And saw the last trace of fear trying to gain its hold. Yugi looked in straight in the eyes.
"Don't be afraid My Pharaoh. I swear to Ra.. I will never betray you, even if it costs me my life" The he places his lips tentatively at first on that of Yami's. But soon pulled him closer, seeking to taste the pure one before him. He could taste strawberries and vanilla in that kiss, while Yugi tasted Cinnamon and exotic spices. He felt Yami's hand quest down to undo the buttons of the black silk shirt he had donned Yugi in to keep him warm, felt the kiss leave his lips and travel feather light down to his neck. Felt Yami's incisors skim and nip the flesh playfully. He arched groaning in his want, but fear started to creep in. he saw flashes of the rape from Pegasus. Yami seemed to sense this and he stopped, he cupped the soft flesh of Yugi's face and made him look him in the eye.
"Yugi, do you want this, for if you don't I will stop. But you must tell me now. I don't think I will be able to stop later. Know I will never hurt you."
"I know Atemu" Yami quivered at the mention of his true name escaping those silk lips " I want this. I want you, I want you to feel happy, in case something happens before we.." Yugi trailed off, blush reaching his face. But Yami's heart split in fear.
"Don't say that, nothing will happen. We'll be together always, don't do this just for me, make sure it is what you want." Yami watched, as Yugi seemed to think it over.
"We can't be together always, I'm mortal. You're immortal. I will die eventually"
"Not if you become like me, if you want to Yugi. Only if you want to" Yugi turned shining eyes to Yami. And hugged him fiercely.
"Yes I want to be with you always, set me free Atemu, set me free from my past, from the pain. I want to feel how it should be"
"Then you will get what you desire, my love, my Hikari" Yami claimed those sweet lips once more, passing all the passion and love he could through it. He ran his hand down Yugi's now exposed chest and felt the boy moan in his mouth as he brushed a nipple. He returned to it, playing with it between his fingers. Yugi arched, writhed at the touch. Moaning loudly as Yami left his lips and started trailing kisses once more down the slim neck.
"Oh, Atemu, more. Please" Yami now Atemu smiled in his kisses, he took the neglected nub into his mouth, the boy practically took off from the bed at the sensations he was experiencing. He withdrew, blowing cold air over the wet nipple making the boy shiver in delight.
They continued on near to dawn, when fulfilled they cried out, as this happened Atemu bit down gently on Yugi's neck, drinking the blood that came, the blood sated him quicker than any other, the rich sweetness over it like nothing before. When he had taken enough he bit into his own wrist and placed it over the boys mouth. He drank all that was offered. Yami brought him into a tight embrace, bringing the covers about them, Yugi snuggled closer. And drifter off to sleep.
"Sleep well, Hikari no tenshi" Then he too joined his love in blissful slumber.
