Yami and Yugi just had to sit and watch as Seto chase the massive tan dragon that was Marik around the kitchen making a royal mess of the place.

"Marik get back here!" Seto screamed at him, diving after Marik's huge tail and successfully catching the end, but Marik looked back and with a growl snapped his tail around the corner along with the rest of his body effectivly snapping Seto off the end and sending the tall vampire sailing into the oppsite counter.

Seto's blue eyes flashed as he stood grabbing a random object of the counter, a spatula, and quickly jumped over Marik's back looking much like a large game of leapfrog. Seto grinned as he settled around the dragon's shoulders and slung the spatula around to wedge it into the back of Marik's half open mouth much like a horse's bit.

Marik immediately started to back up, writhing his head and neck back and forth as Seto grabbed both ends of the spatula and pulled backwards.

Yugi heard a low guttural sound coming from the back of Mariks throat it sounded like he was trying to say something but the metal object in his mouth was impeading his speech.

"Yami Seto isn't hurting him is he?" Yugi asked worriedly as he watched Marik bucking and writhing trying to get the blue eyed vampire off,

"No, Yugi, they do this all the time; you should have seen it when Marik broke one of his ceramonial vases from Egypt, you would have thought the world was about to end." Yami replied chuckling

"Oh. Okay," Yugi said as they continued to watch the scene.

Seto continued to wrestle with Marik; the dragon suddenly looked like he had an idea he only stopped for about three seconds, and Seto was dropped to the floor as Marik changed to his human form. Marik spat out the spatula, scurried out from under Seto, and stood.

But Seto took after him, catching him easily in this form; he put him in a head lock and readied himself to bite.

"Don't just sit there Yami help me!" he cried, he was a total baby when it came to needles and other things like that and was crying now.

"Sorry Marik, that's not my department, you'll have to take it up with Jou," Yami called grinning,

"YAMIIII!" Marik cried as Seto got closer to his neck,

"Oh come on Yami be nice," Yugi whispered as he watched Marik do everything but disjoint his neck to get away.

Yami complied to his young lover's request,

"Seto let him go I think he learned his lesson," Yami said.

"Yami I'm not goingssss to take much of his blood, jussst enough for a little payment for the wall I have to repair," Seto hissed around his fangs as he finally sank his fangs into Marik's neck.

Marik screamed and fainted when Seto drew his amount of blood. Seto noticed that the dragon had stopped moving and withdrew his fangs looking up at Yami from his captive.

"The big baby didn't even last a second," he said setting the dragon on the floor.

"Snap out of it you dumb lizard," he said slapping Marik good and hard across the face.

"Don't kill me!" Marik cried sitting up quickly his face was as pale as a sheet he looked around searching for his shoes. He scurried over to them and changed back to his safe dragon form; he growled at Seto.

"Now its my turn," he said his eyes narrowing; he bared his teeth and lunged at him pinning the slightly suprised vampire to the tiled floor. Marik bent down low to his ear.

"I don't like you, I never have liked you, and you've been ticking me and my brother off for years now, so I'm considering this as my payment," he whispered.

Marik reared back onto his hind feet and came slamming down on on his chest, smiling as he heard a couple pops signalling he had broken a couple ribs. He spread out his claws, tighening his muscles and tendons, and raked them down Seto's body loving it when the male below him gasped and shut his eyes as Marik's claws left large cuts all the way down his chest and stomach.

Seto knew that he would be healed back to normal by night time, but that didn't exactly mean that this tickled.

Yami and Yugi both got up, startled by the younger dragon's sudden violence, they both grabbed onto the larger flank scales that overlapped there, pulling back on the still larger dragon.

"Easy big guy, he didn't mean it," Yami said grabbing a scale on the side of his head and pulling him down to look at him as he said this.

"At least let me hit him where it hurts," he snarled spitting slightly.

"Marik I think he felt what you just did to him, just step off the man, please," Yami said keeping a long unblinking eye contact on Marik that made the creature calm down from his minor rage.

"Let me live up here, I need some sunlight and air for a change, so does Malik," Marik said bending his neck and folding his ears and spines back down in a submissive posistion, as he backed off of Seto.

"Don't attack the family members and keep your brother in check and I'll prepare a room for you," Yami said smiling and leting go of his scales.

Yugi let go of Marik after Yami did and decided to see what the damages were to Seto, who was just laying there with his eyes shut breathing hard the cut's were all ready starting to heal over,

"Seto are you okay?" he asked kneeling down next to him.

"Do I look okay?" Seto replied trying to sit up.

"Oooh, oh, okay, I'm gonna need some help," he moaned laying back down and laying his arms across his stomach.

Yugi started helping him up when the doorbell rang.

"Marik, would you please change and answer that?" Yugi said having gotten Seto into a sitting position and not able to move from the spot he was in. Marik did as he was told not wishing to mess up and lose his room up in the main house. Marik came to the door yawning and opening it,

"Hello? Who're you?" he asked trying to sound friendly.

"I know this is the home of Mr. Kaiba, is he here?"the man told him looking over the shorter man.

"Oh you mean Seto? He is here but has doned new injuries and is unable to see anybody but the family within this household," Marik said starting to close the door in the man's face, but he held out a foot to stop the door.

"You don't understand, this has to do with matters of bussines between me and him," the man said Marik just sighed.

"Fine sir, just give me a name and I'll make sure he gets back to you," he replied.

"Okay Seto, move your feet I can't carry you up the stairs," Marik turned around at the sound of Yugi's voice. He was standing next to Seto with an arm around his waist and one of his hands on his shoulder helping the much older vampire hobble towards the staircase; sporting Marik's half healed scratch marks.

"YUGI!" the man shouted.

Yugi's eyes widened and he froze Seto looked upto see Yugi's father standing in the doorway; he pushed past Marik who let out a low gutteral growl baring his teeth one of the few things like his eyes that didn't change much.

The man marched up to the two giving his son the look that said 'you are dead' and the little one couldn't move because he was acting as a prop for Seto.

"Mr. Kaiba you said you would dispose of this brat and that Yami creature!" he said grabbing Seto's shirt collar making Seto stumble and fall back onto his knees, hissing.

"Sir, you have violated the peace of my home while I am sick; would you mind giving me a reason for which you are here," Seto said motioning for Yugi to come and help him up.

Yugi very timidly approached with his head bowed; he knelt before his father next to Seto, who wrapped his arm around his shoulders and pushed himself up with a hand on the little one's raised knee.

"Now see here Kaiba, this is my son not your property, you said he was dead, but here he is, and I demand an explination!" he said yanking Yugi away from Seto, this time Marik raced over and caught him.

"Mr. Mouto, I live here with only my servant here and his brother" Seto started pointing aout Marik.

"Your son, Yugi is his proper name, came to after I incinerated the vampire, Yami, he was still a vampire, a mere newborn amongst vamipres, but he was such a nice little vampire I kept him around as company, and as you can obviously see, I had a rather nasty run in with my pets; I'm quite gratefull for his help." Seto said trying to stand up as straight as he could and make himself seem like the more dominant one in the conversation.

"He is mine, my son, and I am taking him home with me, I don't care if he's a vampire, I'll have those little fangs of his ground blunt, and feed him with the strays that scrounge around the neighborhood." Yugi's father said pulling the little one with him towards the door.

Yugi whimpered in the fear of being taken home if he was going home his dad wasn't going to be nice, he probably start by breaking his canines out and then punish him by way of either rape or beating or some other horrible thing.

But Marik eased Seto onto his knees, he wasn't going to let his little friend be taken away so soon; he pulled Yugi's arm out of his father's grip and pushed him back towards Seto. Yugi's dad turned around only to meet Marik's lavender eyes and stop; Marik reach up and grabbed his shirt collar turning him around and pushing him quickly towards the door; when he reached the door he let go and literally kicked the man out with the heel of his shoe.

"You, sir, are not welcome in this household," Marik said slamming the door and locking it behind him. He turned to see Yugi on his knees in front of Seto who had his arms around the sniffing form

"Don't let him take me away," he whimpered Marik approached them and laid a hand on Yugi's shoulder.

"It's okay I booted him out," he said. Yugi turned around tears shinging in his eyes,

"I know, but the thought of what he was going to do scared me," he replied standing and starting to help Seto back onto his feet he was helping him up the stairs, with a bit of Marik's help.

"Yugi. What would he have done to you? He doesn't even know how to kill you," Seto asked curious what had scared him so much.

"He can still torture me though, he can burn me over and over, he could rip out my fangs, he could stab me and do anything he wants to me," Yugi said as they reached the top of the stairs; Marik changed and sat down in front of them.

"I think I can take him from here, I'm not good with human stairs in this form," Marik said; Yugi nodded and with much complaining from Seto about Marik ruining the carpet they got him onto Marik's back.

The last thing Yugi heard from him before Marik turned the corner into Seto's bedroom was,

"Marik. Don't ruin the carpet I just got the stains out of it," and Marik's reply sounded like a faint 'I didn't want to hear that'. That just left Yugi to wonder as he heard an,

"Ouch!" come from that same room.

He saw Yami walk by with Malik stalking along behind him like he was about ready to pounce on him. Yugi couldn't help but giggle, the older larger dragon was wearing a long tigers skin on his back and a very large Chinese sunhat and sunglasses made to fit his face.

Yugi ran up to him happy now, almost any sight of Yami made him happy,

"Malik is that you?" he asked snatching the sunhat that was bigger than his torso, off his head the dragon growled at him low in his throat looking at him out of the corner of his sunglasses the larger dragon just swung his tail around and wacked Yugi, knocking the little one over easily and making him drop the hat.

Yami turned around when he heard Yugi hit the floor; Malik picked up his hat jaming it on his head with a satisfied sniff, as he drew the tiger skin back up around his shoulders.

Yami was at Yugi's side instantly, helping him up; Yugi was still staring at Malik, suprised, he had just been having some light fun with him he would have given it back if he had asked.

"I was just trying to have a little fun," Yugi mumbled.

"I'm not a fun kind of person," Malik replied the only time he ever had 'fun' was when he was wrestling with Malik or doing any other physical activity with his twin.

"Come on Yugi, he's just cranky because he hates sunlight," Yami said picking him up off the floor and hugging him.

"Yes and the cranky dragon would like to know where his room is," Marik grumbled.

"Fine Malik. Your room is right across from mine, just look for the door with the eye on it, that's mine," Yami said sighing and pointing towards the hall with his door in it. Malik stalked off in the direction Yami had pointed.

"So how is Seto?" Yami asked pulling Yugi in again.

"He's complaining about Marik ruining the carpet," Yugi replied wrapping his arms around Yami's slim waist.

"Neat freak," Yami replied leaning down and kissing his little lover on the forehead.

"My father was here," Yugi said pressing into Yami for comfort.

"He was here in the house?" Yami asked his eyes widening.

"Yes, but Marik stopped him from taking me away," Yugi replied nuzzling Yami's shoulder wishing he were tall enough to hide his face there.

"I think he is going to try to come back though," Yugi added as Yami started to walk with him.

"Yugi?" Yami asked.

"Hmm,"

"Would you like me to make it to where he won't come back?" he asked grinning at the thought of what he could do to the man to extract his revenge on him

"I would like it, not having to worry anymore," Yugi said leaning his head against Yami's shoulder; he was starting to get tired from staying up too long.

Yami grinned as a plan hatched in his head he was going to have to get Marik and Malik's help.

later that night the man who was Yugi's father, stood outside the darkend Kaiba mansion; he had recieved a strange letter telling him to come and get his son. He went through the gates and up the steps between to huge statues; Seto met him at the door wearing a robe that showed his bandaged chest and a pair of jeans he was also leaning heavily on a cane.

"After the way you came to me earlier I should not even alow you to set foot into my home," Seto said steping aside and alowing Mr. Mouto to enter; not noticing when the statues moved and looked back towards the door.

"From what Yugi told me, you will be pulling his fangs out as soon as you get him home," Seto said leading Mr. Mouto up the main staircase, aware of a knife the man had in his pocket.

"Damn right I am, you think I'm going to let a vampire in my house with his fangs still in his mouth?" he replied.

"No, I wouldn't think so, but his fangs will grow back by the next day," Seto said turning to him at the top of the stairs.

"Well, just go that way and you'll find his roomm his name is on the door," Seto said pointing in the same direction Yami had pointed hours earlier.

Mr. Mouto followed the directions he was given and found the door; he opened it only to be met with a very very dimly lit room. The only light was coming from two candleabras on either side of the bed, but he saw his son laying there on the bed and grinned. He approached the bed quietly and noticed somthing, there was no need to be quiet, his son's eyes were open so he simply walked up to him intending to see those frightened violet eyes again.

When all he did was roll over it angered him, he grabbed his son's throat turning him over and bringing him to face him and was met with a pair of red eyes they blinked glowing slightly in the dim candle light.

"Oh, so you're back," Yami said grinning and showing his fangs Mr. Mouto released him and backed away.

"Y-y-you!" he cried pointing at him as he backed away.

"Yeah, me what did you expect? this is my room," Yami said acting as if he'd never seen the man before.

"Have I met you before?" Yami said getting out of the bed; he was still fully clothed wearing his black leather like when he had first met Yugi.

"No, no you haven't," Mr. Mouto cried, smiling as he thought that maybe he had forgotten about him.

"Oh yes, now I remember you, you're the one who sent my advisor after me, damn that cross hurt," Yami said approaching the taller man who started to back up only to hit some thing hard he spun around only to hit scales.

"What the hel..." he stoped speaking, moving, anything but his head, as he followed the scales up to the head of the creature he'd just run into and he backed away it was one of the statues a very very large lizard.

"My pet, you remember this man don't you?" Yami said walking past the shocked man and reaching up to stroke the side of Marik's head. Marik let out a long animalistic growl as a yes.

"Yes, he hurt our poor Yugi, didn't he?" Marik let out another long growl.

"I think you're right, he does deserve punishment," Yami said approaching the now very nervous Mouto who backed away.

"You have no where to run Mr. Mouto," Yami said smiling when the terrified man hit the end of his bed.

"Mr. Kaiba!" he called loudly as Marik stepped forward following Yami.

"Who do you think my advisor is Mr. Mouto?" Yami said jumping on him making Mr. Mouto bend backwards onto the bed Yami landed on him hopefully hurting his chest with the heels of his shoes.

Mr. Mouto finally got an idea, stupid though it may have been, he grabbed Yami's shoes and twisted hard sending Yami falling off the bed.

He rose and quickly started to sprint towards the door, dodging Marik's outstretched claws. He made it out the door, only to be met with an open set of jaws letting out a roar loud enough to shake the floor; Mr. Mouto froze, it was another even larger one of those statues.

It closed its mouth, but haunched low baring its teeth and and barring passage down the hallway; he turned and was met with the other lizard and Yami standing at it's side, this was a nightmare, it had to be, there was just no way.

"You see sir I told you, you should not have set foot in my home again," he heard behind him; he spun around again not knowing which creature to watch; it was Seto again only now he was robeless and wearing black pants like Yami's and he was shirtless showing the almost completely healed scars from his and Marik's earlier tousle.

Mr. Mouto drew his last defence from his pocket a rather large pocket knife,

"Come now Mouto, you really think you could harm either of these creatures?" Seto said coming closer; Mr. Mouto immedately jammed the knife right into Seto's bear stomach, pushing his weight in on it, Seto didn't even flinch, he bent down to the shorter man.

"You all ready know what I am, why the hell did you even do that?" he said grabbing the mans fist and jerking the knife back out Yami grabbed Mr. Mouto in an arm lock

"Yami, leave enough blood to keep him concious," Seto said Yami feircely dug his fangs into the man's neck not caring if he tore flesh this man had hurt his little lover and he was going to pay for the years of torture and rape he had put Yugi through.

Yami drank as much as Seto had told him to before gratefully removing his fangs and removing his arm lock.

Yami held a hand over his mouth and stomach for a few seconds, holding up a finger for him to wait he finally let go of his mouth with a disgusted face.

Seto held Mr. Mouto up by his throat; he had the knife in his hands now he quickly jammed it into the man's stomach in the same place as he had been hit twisting it for good measure very little blood trickled out of the wound.

Yami called up the same black and purple tendrils that had read Marik's memories, only these ones were curling up from the floor; Mr. Mouto let out strangled screams as the tendrils sank into his veins and curled their way up his body slowly, painfully, sucking his soul out. Yami watched satisfied, as his shadows did their work on him he started to see his memories too as they neared his head he scowled even more at the man before him.

"You slime ball," Yami said, seeing the memories of him beating Yugi and getting together with his friends to pound him to a bloody heap.

"Kill this bastard Seto," Yami growled as his shadows completely consumed Mr. Mouto.

"Allright let Malik and Marik have some fun with his body," Yami dispersed his shadows from the man's now soulless body.

"Fine take him away Malik," Yami said Malik stepped forward. Yami liked the way he picked the man's limp body up, he simply opened his large mouth and shoveled him in, having to toss him up a bit to get him positioned right in his mouth, before turning with Marik slinking along behind him and heading downstairs, towards their den no less.

"Seto? do you mind if I mess up your carpets just this once?" Yami asked holding his stomach again.

"No, if you must toss your lunch go to the bathroom," Yami nodded and ran. Seto heard the sounds of Yami throwing up; coming from his bathroom, and he returned to him coughing.

"That man had the most disgusting blood I have ever tasted," he said,

"It tasted worse than the time you tried to make a caviar pizza," he added, smiling a bit when Seto pouted at him for insulting his expiramental cooking.

"And now Yugi is safe," Seto said,

"I didn't like that man since the minute I first saw him," he added walking up to Yami.

"You, my friend, don't look sick you look drunk," he said looking Yami in the face the shorter Vampire had a pink tinge across his nose.

"That man had enough alcohol in his system to drownd an elaphant," Yami said,

"I just barfed half of the blood I got out of him," he said pointing his thumb over his shoulder at the bathroom.

"That's disgusting," Seto said blanching at the thought.

"Well, good night Seto, I'm going to get Yugi," Yami said yawning and crossing the hall to Malik and Marik's room, there was Yugi lieing on their oversized mattress that they had had him bring up earlier. Yami walked up to Yugi's curled up sleeping form and gently picked him up; Yugi whined in his sleep as he was moved and Yami moved his head to his shoulder.

"Shh" he cooed, carrying him back to his own bedroom he laid Yugi down and tucked him in before he himself changed out of his leather. He got in bed with his little lover wrapping his arms around Yugi and the little one curled into him feeling warmth against his back. Yami place one more light kiss behind his ear before spooning into him and drifting off to sleep also.
