Yugi looked around wonderingly as Jou gave him the grand tour of the mansion; Yami and Seto had parted with them at the door bickering back and forth at each other about Yami's stupidity. Jou led him into yet another room
"This is the library," he said triumphantly
"Wow!" Yugi said in a hushed tone it was huge it looked like held more books than he'd ever seen in his life
"But I don't know how to read too well," Yugi admitted blushing a little.
"'s okay one of us with teach you," Jou said ruffling Yugi's hair "now how's about we do something fun liiiike-" he tapped his chin in thought
"Annoying Seto," he said, you could almost see the little light that was appearing above his head flicker.
"Okay," Yugi said following Jou towards the kitchen the man seemed like a magnetic pull that was drawing him towards Seto because they found him right where he thought he was. Seto was sitting at the counter with a glass in his hand Jou practically bounced up to him with Yugi following him, finding a place across from Seto
"Oh Seto-kins whatcha doing?" he said resting his hands on the top of his lover's head. Seto sighed
"I'm trying to get rid of my pounding headache my young puppy and you know this is the only cure for that," he said holding up his glass high enough to be right under his lover's nose. Jou instantly lunged at the glass with his hands he managed to get it out of the brunette's hand and was holding it possessively; as he started to tip it toward his mouth Seto snatched it away from him
"Mine!" he said
"this stuff's too strong for your system you do remember the last time you got a hold of one of my 'special drinks'," he said giving Jou a no non-sense type look as he set his glass down. A goofy grin spread across Jou's features as he stared off into the distance, in the meantime Yugi had reached across the counter and pulled Seto's glass towards him the contents where a dark, dark, bloody, red he took a sniff of it and just about fell off his chair in recoil he quickly pushed the glass back with a retching sound drawing Seto's attention back to him
"I take it you don't like it?" he said Yugi nodded hurriedly wiping at his nose the smell didn't want to go away at all
"I guess you wouldn't, forty percent B positive blood, ten percent A negative blood, five percent whiskey, forty-five percent vodka, and ten percent sugar/ water mix I really would be surprised if you did like the smell of it but to a vampire it's like a nectar," he said taking a drink of the vile stuff
"Anyway it took me decades to get the mix right," he added. Jou finally snapped out of his daze wiping some drool off his mouth he planted a nice long kiss on Seto's lips trying to catch what was left of the drink there; unfortunately they kept going sinking into moaning. Yugi quickly scurried away from the scene blushing like crazy when he saw Jou swing his arms around Seto's waist as he left the room.
Yugi wandered through the mansion searching for Yami when he finally gave up after about and hour and a thousand dead ends and dark rooms later he decide to go back to the only room he remembered at the moment, the library.
He reached the library and searched around for a book that looked like it would have been interesting, he picked a thick one, he just sat on the floor and flipped it open and started to slowly read and make out the words on the page even though they were tiny. The book was full of short stories about kids and dragons in a world where they lived and worked together (1) the first one he read was about a kid who wanted to have a dragon partner but got beat up before the ceremony to get his and had to struggle through all kinds of pain just to be happy,
"He's just like me," Yugi whispered to himself as he finished looking at the big picture at the end of the chapter, the boy sitting happy with a dragon baby curled around him like a big cat as people looked on at the pair a tear slipped from Yugi's eye as he thought about it he wanted the same thing between him and Yami but it couldn't happen Yami was thousands of years old and would never die while Yugi would age and die in less than one hundred years.
Yami was walking by when he heard a sniff come from inside he looked around the corner to see Yugi sitting by himself on the floor with a book in his hands. He slipped in quietly he covered himself in shadow magic to make himself invisible to him he crouched down next to Yugi and looked at the picture then to Yugi he got behind him and wrapped his arms around Yugi making him feel warm he opened a hole in the shadow realm and let through a small fluffy monster
"Kiriee, kiriee," it cried. Yugi looked up suddenly there was a Kuribo sitting in front of him… Wait a second! A KURIBO was sitting in front of him, but Kuribo was a duel monster it couldn't be real! The creature crawled forward and nudged his knee with what he was guessing with its nose, and looked up at him with big cute green eyes
/what's wrong?/ he heard Yami's voice coming from the fur ball in front of him unaware that said vampire was sitting right behind him.
"Nothing," Yugi responded feeling silly talking to this 'figment of his imagination'
/doesn't look like nothing/ it said crawling up next to him and nuzzling his hand
"Okay I don't feel, erm, 'in place' here," he said petting the Kuribo
/why not? / It responded right back
"Every one here is a vampire and lives forever I'll just die lonely in less than one hundred years," Yugi said dejectedly there was a long silence before 'the Kuribo' replied
/would you like to change, like my master? /
"Huh?!" Yugi looked sharply at the Kuribo to see if it could possibly be a fuzzy little vampire Kuribo.
"I-I don't know I'd like to but I would want Yami to do it, please don't tell him." Yugi said giving a crooked smile as the Kuribo raised a paw
/I promise/ it said before disappearing with what sounded like a Kuribo's version of a snicker.
Yami was now slightly shocked he'd let go of Yugi and was now sitting with his legs on both side of Yugi and his hands lying limp on the floor. It was such an odd request to him why would Yugi want to change and better yet why would he want just Yami to change him? Yami got up and left before Yugi had the chance to get up and discover he was there.
Yugi got up and left, book still in hand, he walked around until he found a door that Jou had shown him hours earlier it was an ordinary door but the only difference was that it had a small eye of Horus carved into it, this was Yami's bedroom.
Yugi knocked and then opened the door a little bit peeking in Yami was there he could see the outline of his hair and the rising and falling of his chest but what he liked was that he was asleep. He crept over to the bed and took off his shoes and set the book on the table next to the bed, before crawling into bed with Yami. He cuddled up close to Yami's warm back and slowly drifted to sleep; Yami smiled when he felt Yugi's arms slide around his chest and hold onto him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, before the sun had even come up, Yugi was awoken by a sharp pain, the kind of pain that feels like your heart is being ripped apart, his eyes shot open and he tried to sit up quickly only to find this action increased the pain it was dark but he could still feel the pain was coming from his neck he reached a hand up to feel of his neck only to have his hand come into contact with a nose he felt his way down the 'face' till felt that it's mouth was on his neck. Yugi realized with a panic that it was Yami, Yami was biting him and wasn't being in the least bit gentle Yami was also drinking, very slowly, the blood that was seeping from the wound and down Yugi's shoulder. Yugi quickly jerked downwards and he felt Yami's fangs slip from his neck he jabbed Yami in the stomach with his elbow to make sure he didn't come back down on his neck.
Yugi hurriedly got off the bed and ran out of Yami's room half aware that he was still bleeding severely from his shoulder the other half of his awareness was spending it's time trying to dazedly guide him to Seto and Jou's room. He somehow found the room panting, he was scared out of his wits now; he knocked on the door only to be answered by a grunt and a low
"come in," Yugi opened the door and stumbled in before collapsing on the floor in a shivering heap he heard gasps as both Seto and Jou got off the bed to help him thankfully putting on something before they both knelt down and turned Yugi over he was panting heavily now his eye's were shut, his body was shaking, and his shoulder was now covered in blood
"h-he-he-help," he croaked out. Jou picked Yugi up and put him on the bed facing him he quickly licked his fingers and drew them over the holes in Yugi's neck to stop the bleeding while Seto darted out of the room. Jou left Yugi for a second to get some towels to clean up Yugi's shoulder; he returned and cleaned up the shivering kid sitting on his bed. After he was done he sat on the bed next to him he put an arm around Yugi's waist, the kid curled up on him putting his arms around his neck and finally just crying into his neck not even noticing the tiny prick marks that Seto's love bites had left.
Seto returned holding a bottle of blood for Yugi along with an IVto get it into him, the poor kid couldn't drink blood like him,he sat down next to his lover and Yugi, whom he was growing fond of; he took the IV needle and held up Yugi's arm for a vein but as soon as Yugi saw the needle coming towards his wrist he freaked out he practically tried to climb Jou, crying. That made both their hearts wrench the poor kid was scared to death of the needle that would probably help him. Seto took Yugi from Jou; setting his stuff aside he just held Yugi in a firm yet gentle grip and stroked his back soothingly as he whispered to him
"Yugi it's all right now we're not going to hurt you," he said handing the blood bottle and IV to Jou. Yugi clung to Seto like a lifeline
"You lost a lot of blood, Yugi we just want to help," he said Yugi heard the words rumble from deep in Seto's chest and was slightly comforted and Seto felt him relax a little bit; he turned Yugi around so he was sitting in his lap. Seto took the IV from Jou who looked like he was almost in tears, and took Yugi's thin wrist in his hand and tried the needle again Yugi visibly flinched
"It's okay it won't hurt," Seto whispered as he pressed the IV against Yugi's skin he hit the vein right off the bat. Yugi sniffed it hadn't hurt really just a tiny twinge but just the thought that it was there pumping blood back into his body sent a chill down his spine. Seto set Yugi between him and Jou
"Yugi, what happened?" he asked he knew quite well what had happened but wanted to hear it from Yugi and it would help get it off the little one's chest
"Y-Yami bit me." He said his voice cracking a little
"How did you get hurt so bad then, if it was Yami biting you?" he asked kindly
"He wasn't being nice about it this time, it was like he wanted it to hurt," Yugi replied sadly he glanced up at Jou who stood up and left to get something
"I had to elbow him in the stomach to get him to stop," he added Seto smiled slightly at that comment
"It wasn't his fault Yugi, it's a bad habit of his he bites in his sleep, he often just bites his lip and calls it at that but you were there so, well, he had something to bite," Seto explained carefully
"But he said he wouldn't hurt me," Yugi cried
"Please don't blame him Yugi we should have warned you," Seto said as Jou walked back in carrying a large mug of something Yugi looked up when Jou handed him the drink it wasn't bright enough in the room yet for him to tell what it was but he lifted it to his mouth and took a sip of the stuff it was really sweet but not too sweet he never tasted anything like it before, he tipped it up and took one long gulp of the stuff and started to feel sleepy he leaned heavily against Seto and he felt Jou take the cup from him before he fell into complete and peaceful slumber his brain barely registering the IV being taken out of his wrist.
Seto looked at Jou who was holding the cup and biting his lip nervously.
"You know what is in this cup?" Jou said Seto nodded
"And you know what that means?" he replied
"Yami changed him; that was blood mixed with a sedative," Jou said
"I looked in on him he's sound asleep he doesn't seem to know he's done anything."
"Damn fool, Yugi's going to be devastated when he wakes up and we tell him." Seto said picking up Yugi and setting him on the couch in their room he covered him with a spare blanket Yugi let out a sigh as all his muscles seemed to relax at once. He turned around to see Jou all ready out of the pair of sweats he had pulled on and was laying on the bed waiting for him
"Jou not now," he said
"Would you at least put on a pair of boxers while he's in the room," Seto said walking over to the bed and getting under the covers with Jou wearing his cute pout
"Oh, all right, but you are going to put something on as soon as you wake up," Seto said pulling him in close and pulling the covers over themselves.
