After getting far away enough, Diamond landed and waited for the others to catch up. "What are we gonna do now, Diamond? Those demons know us now and gonna be comin' after Yugi." Jounouchi murmured. "I don't know but all I do know is that if we see them, we must run. I don't know what that demon wanted with Yugi but it seems to be more than just to have him for a meal or a bedmate since he wasn't dead when I got in there." she replied. "She may be right." Yugi whispered finally and they looked to him. "What do you mean, Yugi?" Ryou asked.
"What I'm saying is that he didn't want to kill me. I think he could love me. Not as a bedmate or a meal, but as a lover."
"That's impossible. We all know those demons are heartless. They killed everyone in an entire city if possible and move on to the next one. Their hunger for people is insatiable and no one can stop them. How is Yugi going to be able to do anything to stop them?" Kaiser explained. "I don't know but like I said, we aren't going to let them have Yugi. They would have to prove themselves before getting anywhere near him." Yugi sighed as he listened to them. 'I still think that demon didn't want to hurt me or else I would be dead now. Could I be the key to stopping their destruction?' he thought as he and his friends left off once more.

Yami and Aqua flew through the city, trying to spot the boy that Yami had met earlier before his escape. "Are you sure we will find the child, Yami? What if he and his friends already left the city?" Aqua asked. "He didn't. His scent is still in the city. We must find him for he has made my heart sing once more. We can't lose him. Not after waiting so long for someone that could give me this feeling of love." he answered and Aqua nodded, knowing how important this was to them both.
Yami sniffed the air once more and smiled. He found him. "Come on, Aqua, before they escape." Yami spoke as he flew in another direction, Aqua following behind him.

"So, where are we going to head to now?"
"Well, the only place that's close to where we are right now is Tokyo but a report said that the demons already been there so it will likely be abandoned." Yugi replied softly. "Well, they normally don't go where they already destroyed so we could be safe there until they switch locations." Diamond murmured and they nodded. Jounouchi climbed onto Kaiser's back while Yugi and Ryou got on Diamond's and they ran off to Tokyo, never knowing that the demons were closely following behind.

It was soon nightfall and the five friends made it to the deserted city. "Man, this place looks like a ghost town." Jounouchi muttered as they walked through the streets that were covered with crusted blood and remains of dead people. "Well, this will have to suffice for now. We can't bear to be anywhere near Domino with those demons there as well." Kaiser stated. They found an abandoned hotel and went inside. "So, are we taking separate rooms?"
"We shouldn't but if you think you can handle being in separate rooms then that's fine with me. We all are going to be next door to each other just in case we're insecure about something." Diamond spoke. "Ah, no need to worry about me. Katsuya Jounouchi isn't afraid of anything!" he said proudly and got hit in the head with a pair of keys. "Shut it and get to your room, Jou. We don't need you gloating." Diamond replied smugly and he glared at her playfully before going to the room with his key number. She passed another set of keys to the others before taking her own and went to her room.

Later that night, Yami and Aqua landed by the hotel they were staying in. "Alright, you stay in the lobby and make sure none of his friends come out to check on him. I'll go see if I can find him." Aqua nodded as they both walked into the hotel silently. Aqua stayed in the lobby as Yami sniffed around before locating Yugi's scent and went to the room that he was in. He slipped into the shadows and went under the crack in the doorway.
He was sound asleep and he smiled softly as he looked upon him. 'He is such a gentle soul. He doesn't deserve to be hurt by no one and I will make sure of that. Once he becomes ours, I will give him the world.' Yami thought as he walked closer to the bed. Yugi shifted a bit, feeling that something was about to happen. His suspicions were true when he heard something and woke up slowly. "Huh, is someone here?" Yugi asked, looking around sleepily. Yami smiled and how cute he looked and stood beside the bed. "It's me little one." he whispered. That woke Yugi up quickly and he looked to the demon as he sat up, fearing for his safety once more.
"Please, don't hurt me." Yugi whimpered, shaking with fright. "I won't hurt you. When we met before, I said I wouldn't do anything to you. I don't want you to fear me. That's all I ask." Yami whispered, looking sad that the boy still feared him. Yugi felt bad once he saw this and got up from the bed slowly, walking over to him warily to place a hand on his shoulder. He looked over to Yugi and saw his concern and guilt. "I'm sorry for being afraid of you. I didn't know what to expect since every report that I heard about you and the other demon said you'd kill any human on sight but you didn't kill me or my friends." Yugi said.
Yami nodded as he nuzzled him gently. "I don't want to hurt you. After I saw you, I knew you were the one. The only person that brought love back into my heart was you and I couldn't lose you because of your fear." Yugi nodded and smiled as he pat Yami's head. He purred softly as he closed his eyes. "Would you like to explore the night with me, little one?" he asked, looking up to Yugi from his crouched position.
"Sure if it will make you happy. I hate to see you sad again. I don't want that, even if you are a demon." Yugi replied and Yami smiled as he picked up Yugi and walked over to the window. He opened it and flew out silently as to not warn his friends that he was here. /Aqua, I have found the little one and taking him out, stay there and make sure none of his friends wake up./ Yami spoke and Aqua nodded as he whispered a spell to make sure that Yugi's friends were asleep throughout the night.

Yugi looked around as they flew about some other cities that Yami and Aqua didn't target yet. "I want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Why is it that your destroy every town you go to?"
"Well, in our past, people shunned us for what we were. We were angry that they did so we started to kill them but while we did, we saw many that loved and cared for each other. We hated the fact that mortals can find love easily and we couldn't. That why we were slowly destroyed the world many millennia ago with help from other demons. But a powerful priest locked us away in a tomb in Egypt that no one could find unless they learn about the legend of us and released us once more." Yami explained. Yugi felt bad for the demon that he was deprived of love long ago.
"Another thing, do you really care about me since I bring love back in your heart?" he asked again and Yami nodded. "Yes, out of many that we have seen, you were the only one that has attracted me to you. Your scent, your looks, everything about you is so enticing that I would give you the world." he replied. Yugi stroked the demon's neck softly, also feeling something for the demon but he was worried about what his friends would think. He knew they would never agree to him having such a relationship with the demons that practically have the power to control the world.
'But I make him and likely the other demon happy. I don't want my friends to shun me for loving someone that kills others for a living.' Yugi thought as Yami continued to fly through the darkened sky.

As it was getting close to morning, Yami flew back to the hotel and landed back in the room Yugi stayed in. The young child was asleep and he smiled as he gazed down to him. He placed him on the bed and pulled the covers over him, leaving a light kiss on his forehead before making a note appear in his claws. He forgotten to tell the boy his name during the flight but he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere they shared so close together. 'I hope to see you again, little one.' Yami thought as he placed the note on the side table and left the room. Both he and Aqua left out the hotel before his friends could wake up and find them sitting in the lobby.
"So, how was your night with the boy?"
"It was wonderful. I will give him the world. He deserves everything that other mortals do not. Come on, Aqua. We have some purging to do. I will make this world for him and his friends as well. Nothing will stop me but before we do such, I think I have a way how we can get his friends to trust any demon of any kind."
"How?"
"By bringing back some friends of ours." he answered, remembering the other demons that helped them along the way to world domination long ago before they were sealed.
