Love Can Have a Blind Eye

Chapter 4

Yami smiled down at Yugi. He'd fallen asleep on the way to the palace and he didn't have the heart to wake up the child. So when he reached the palace, he immediately went to his room and lied the boy down, covered him up and placed his things by the bed.

'Maybe Aqua has found the right person for us, even if he is human.' Yami thought as he went to go check to see if the others brought Yugi's friends to the palace as well.

Seto was absolutely ecstatic to know that he was allowed to bring the golden-haired boy back to the palace with him. Same with Ruby. They both hid it well though. Now Jounouchi was lying in Seto's bed, still sleeping. He would have to answer every question this boy would ask of him but he will be willing to do so. He heard the door open and he turned to see Yami there. "How is the boy?" Yami asked. "He's fine, still asleep." Seto said as Yami closed the door behind him. "You really do care for him, don't you?" Yami asked.

"Yes, I had a feeling you would have figured out my intention for helping him. His father did beat on them mercilessly and both me and Ruby watched the whole thing with horror. It made me angry that he would beat on them for something so simple as coming home from school a little late and took a part of his soul as a result. I don't know if he changed but now, I don't want to give him up. I don't want him or his friend to go back to that wretched home." Seto said as he looked to the king. "I know how you feel, the boy that has taken care of Aqua changed me as well. I don't know but I was willing to let him stay with us if his only relative dies. I saw his grandfather and he is in the hospital with cancer. I can tell that he may not survive before Yugi gets back but I don't have the heart to tell him that." Yami murmured.

"Well, if that does happen then I say you should let him stay along with his friends. It seemed that Bakura, Marik, Crimson and Toben has taken a liking to the four they have brought back." Seto said. He nodded. "I know, that's what I'm going to do if he does stay." Yami said as he left for the door. "If the boy wakes up, make sure you explain to him where he is and what happened. Tell Ruby to do the same for the sphinx. I need to go and check on Aqua." Yami said and Seto nodded as the king left from the room.

Ryou smiled as he talked with Bakura. He was very interested in the man when he first arrived earlier that day. Bakura said the same as well when he first saw him on the school grounds. Now, Ryou didn't know, but he was starting to feel attracted to Bakura but remembered that their visit might not be for long and they would have to return back soon. He didn't want to love the demon and then leave in pain for they may not return back to the shadow kingdom again.

'I really don't want to leave him but I must when we are told.' Ryou though as he looked down sadly. Bakura turned him when he saw the motion. "What's the matter, Ryou?" Bakura asked as he placed a hand on the smaller teen's shoulder. "It's nothing, I'll be fine." Ryou said, looking back up to the demon before he yawned. Bakura smiled slightly as he got up, lying Ryou back down onto the bed. "You're tired and it's getting late. You can rest in my bed until Yami can get the guest rooms ready for you and your friends." Bakura said and he nodded as he snuggled his head into the soft pillow and fell asleep quietly.

Bakura smiled and covered him up in the sheets before leaving. He had a little interrogation to do with Keith.

Malik and Topaz explored Marik and Toben's shared room in wonder and awe. When they were picked up by the two, they couldn't help but feel something for them but like Ryou, they didn't want to act on their emotions since they wouldn't be staying for long. 'But for some reason, I feel bad for doing so. I can tell Marik really likes me, maybe even love me but what can I do? Topaz and I will have to leave once this sorcerer is taken care of. It will tear me apart to be with him and then leave to never see him again.' Malik thought.

Unknown to them, Marik was listening from outside. He felt Malik's despair and tuned into his thoughts. He felt sad and yet happy to learn about Malik's feelings for him in such a short time together. 'But what can I do to change his mind, it's tearing me apart to know he won't act on his feelings for me.' Marik thought as he left the door to join Bakura in the torture chamber, Yami wants some answers from Keith and they were glad to do it for him, with a little torture for silence.

Yami sat in the council chamber, listening to the drone of the council members as they complained about the humans. He slammed his fist onto the table, silencing them. "I know it's against soul demon law to interfere with humans, much less bring them into the kingdom itself but I have done it for a reason. Aqua manage to leave the castle walls and into the forest. He met a child by the name of Yugi there and brought him home no matter what the cost of being seen may do. The child wasn't scared of him at all and didn't attempt to kill him, just cared for him when he stayed with him and he gave honest protection to him as a thank you even though he's half blind." Once they were silenced, Yami continued.

"Everyone knows Pegasus is out to try and take control of the kingdom and bring war to the humans to gain control of the world. Marking Aqua as the first target also brought Yugi and his friends into danger as well. With help from the girl Crimson brought in, we were able to catch Keith and he's being interrogated as we speak. I want Yugi and his friends to stay as long as Pegasus is still out to catch him or Aqua." Yami explained. The council started to argue but Yami stopped them. "I will not change my answer! I know Aqua cares for Yugi more than just a friend and I do believe Yugi feels the same way because of the interesting dream he had that included one of the mating practices of the soul demon race." Yami said.

"But how can a human know about them?! He couldn't have known as you never mention if Aqua even told the child more about our race when he was in the human world!" One of the council members argued in response. "I know, Aqua spoke he didn't want to mention about our race to Yugi just in case he was frightened of him and hid it well. There may be such things as the feline creatures some of his friends are in the world of humans but seeing a dragon likely surprised them. Learning about the race will make Pegasus' plan come true without the destruction of Aqua." Yami spoke as he got up. The council members discussed this and then nodded. "Ok, we shall agree with this, your highness. But if this boy or his friends show any allegiance with Pegasus then we must dispose of them quickly before things get out of hand." The same council member said.

Yami sighed, ruffling his wings as he left. "I can't believe they would think Yugi would be working for Pegasus. He didn't even know of the boy until he located Aqua. If it wasn't for the fact that they were my father's trustworthy council back in his reign, I would have rid of them." Yami grumbled as headed back to his room.

Diamond walked with Crimson through the stables that held many different beasts of the shadow kingdom. "You actually own all of these beasts?" Diamond asked. He shook his head. "Well, technically, we don't own them all. Some belongs to past kings that we keep for breeding or war purposes. If you want, I can show you ours." Crimson said and she nodded. They walked over to another area of the stables and Darkfang, Crimson's Serpion (yes, I know, FF9 reference, couldn't help it) look up and purred in response to seeing him. He walked over to him and stroked his head. "It's nice to see you again, Darkfang." Diamond looked to the beast in awe. "Is he yours?" Diamond asked and he nodded. "Yeah, he's been with me ever since I raised him from an egg. He has a fiery temper but he's ok once you get to know him."

Darkfang nodded in response and looked over to Diamond. She walked over quietly and he scrutinize her for a bit before he craned his neck over to her and nuzzled her, quietly purring. She smiled and pat his neck. "Well, he seems to like me." Diamond cooed as she walked over to stand beside him. "Well, that's a first. He only gets along with Yami and the others. He has a real hatred for Doruke though but he can handle being around him as long as he doesn't start anything." Crimson said as she led her away from his stable and walked over to Seto's.

"Who's Doruke?" Diamond asked. "He was a rogue red and black Galla fiend from another land before Yami found him. He was caught in the midst of a battle and gotten injured pretty badly. Yami took him in and healed him and now we're trying to find someone he could get along with to be his rider. So far, only Yami's been the only one to do so but he already has Niore." Crimson explained and she nodded as she looked up to the dragon that belonged to Seto. "He reminds me of a card I know. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon. How did Seto get him?" Diamond asked. "Sapphire was actually a creation of Seto's own magic. Yes, he does look like the Blue-Eyes because Seto wanted her to look and have to same power as the card." Diamond looked to her in awe then to Crimson.

"We actually do some dueling in the shadow kingdom and that's how we know so much about the cards. Each one of us has a guardian but only three can be used by Yami, Seto and Marik and those are the three gods." Crimson explained as he walked over to a door that led into a large chamber. "Not many are allowed in here but Yami gives us permission so you're ok with me." Crimson said as he walked inside. Diamond followed him behind him and gasped at the three gods that stood before them. One was a long, red serpent-like dragon with two mouths and glowing yellow eyes. Another was a towering demon with blue, rock-like skin. The last was a golden dragon with gleaming red eyes and a blue jewel embedded in its forehead.

"These are the three gods; Obelisk, Osiris and Ra. Yami controls Osiris, Seto controls Obelisk and Marik controls Ra. They are only used for major purposes only so they are rarely seen from outside the chambers." Crimson explained as he pointed to each one and Diamond nodded. Osiris walked over and lowered its head down to Crimson as a hello. "Hello to you too, Osiris." Crimson said as he pat the large dragon's head. "If you three don't mind, I would like you to meet someone." he spoke as he motioned Diamond to come beside him. "This is Diamond. She came from the human world because she and her friends are being targeted by Pegasus."

Osiris and Ra growled in anger at the thought of Pegasus and Obelisk clenched its fists in anger. Osiris looked to Diamond with a mix between worry and protection and moved its head over to touch her shoulder lightly before lifting its head. "What did that mean, Crimson?" Diamond asked. "That's a gesture to show that they will protect you and your friends. They hate Pegasus with a passion for what he has done to Aqua and him targeting you and your friends is despicable." Crimson spoke and nodded to the gods for the assistance. Obelisk nodded back and they watch as they left.

"I'm glad that they will do so. For some reason I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen." Diamond murmured. Crimson nodded and walked over to another two stables that were close together. One held a gold griffin with lavender eyes and the other held a large jackal-like beast with gold eyes. "These are Marik's and Toben's beasts; Keantu is the griffin and he belongs to Marik and the other is Garum and he belongs to Toben. They both happen to be very good friends of Darkfang and Renka, Bakura's beast, so expect to see them out on the fields mock-fighting with each other a lot."

Diamond nodded and smiled and she pet the two beasts before they moved on, meeting with Bakura's, Aqua's, Ruby's and Yami's before they came up to the stable that held Doruke. He looked up and growled slightly. "It's ok, Doruke, she will not hurt you." Crimson whispered softly. The dragon fiend nodded and got up, walking over to the stable door. He leaned down and sniffed her slightly before he purred, nuzzling her softly. She was shocked that the dragon reacted so and it seemed Crimson was as well. "Could he really have chosen you as a rider?" Crimson asked in wonder. She shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe we should find out." Diamond answered and he nodded as he opened the gate and let Doruke come out from the stable.

He lowered himself down to all fours and motioned for her to get on his back. She did so and held onto the black horns as he got back up. "Amazing, I never thought he would let anyone else ride him. I'll go get Darkfang and we can ride out for a bit." Crimson said as he ran back to get said beast. Once he came back, after calming Darkfang down when he started to growl at Doruke, they left out to ride for a bit.

Yami sat on the bed, watching as Yugi slept quietly. He smiled down at him. 'Maybe Aqua did find the right person. I couldn't stand to be away from him for so long and the idea of Pegasus capturing him scares and angers me. I will not let him capture Yugi.' Yami thought fiercely before got up and walked over to the window. It was becoming darker and he knew he would need to go out and feed. He looked back to Yugi once more before he left to hunt for an unworthy soul. When he was gone, Yugi shifted in the bed, moaning slightly as he stared to have another dream.

-Dream-

Yugi smiled as he sat beside Yami on the highest tower, way past the trees so they could look up into the night sky. Yami's wing was settled around him to protect him from the cool breeze blowing by. "I'm glad that you have brought me here, Yami. I feel more at peace here, with you and the other shadow people even though I'm human." Yugi said as he looked up to the king. He smiled down at him. "I'm glad that you stayed, Yugi. You make me feel complete compared to anyone else that has present themselves in front of me, asking to be my eternal lover." Yami murmured. Now that Yugi thought of it, he would never survive as long as Yami and Aqua would. When he died, they would be alone again just like his friends would when the others follow.

He looked down and Yami frowned. "What's the matter, Yugi?" Yami asked. "You and your friends are happy when we came and agreed to stay, but we are not shadow people. We won't live as long as you and once we die, you all will be alone once more and I don't want that." Yugi whispered as he looked back to him. Yami laughed softly and laid Yugi down on the ground, hovering over him with his hands positioned by Yugi's sides to keep him over the smaller boy. "Oh, but there is a way you can stay with us forever, little one. You and your friends may have been staying with us but we had feelings for you as long as you have been here but we didn't want to act upon them until we thought would be the right time. And I have been waiting for the time when I can make you mine little one." Yami said.

Yugi shivered under his gaze. "But how?" Yugi asked quietly. "Remember the dream you had before little one, when you were back home? I told you about how demons normally show that they would want to mate with another by spilling blood back onto you. In a way, it adds onto your natural scent and that's what aroused the demons. When Aqua regurgitated the blood back onto you in your dreams, it mixed with your natural scent of strawberries and caused him to have a reaction to you because of your scent being mixed with blood. But enough talk, I want a little taste of you now." Yami said with a grin as he let the blood from his previous meal emit from his throat and drip down onto Yugi through sharp fangs.

He moaned softly as he felt the warm blood coat his face. Yami lifted up one of his claws and picked away at his clothing until he was bare. He smirked and Yugi blushed. "Such a fine body you have, Yugi. Unmarked and pure." Yami whispered seductively and Yugi blushed even more. He let more blood seep onto Yugi's pale skin and once he was done, he sniffed the air lightly and purred in satisfaction. "Just like I would've dreamed. Such a sweet body such as yours has such an exotic scent once mixed with blood." Yami purred as he licked at the blood. "And so appetizing as well. Yugi, you are perfect for us. I can't be happier that Aqua was able to find you." Yugi smiled and lifted a blood coated hand to touch Yami's face. "And I'm glad to be here with you both." Yugi said softly.

He purred again and pinned Yugi down. "I need you now, badly." Yami growled as he kissed the smaller boy, using his tail the shed his own clothing. "I will make sure you will feel nothing but sweet, sweet pleasure, little one. I will take you beyond your wildest dreams and show you many things that no one else can possibly show you. After this act of intimacy, will you become my mate for all eternity, in turn becoming a demon of the shadowed soul eaters?" Yami asked. "Yes, I shall become your mate and be one of the soul demons." Yami smiled and leaned down to kiss him before he started to lick the blood away from Yugi's body. Once he was done, the demon ravished the boy, gaining pleased moans and screams from him as the night continued on.

-End Dream-

Yugi woke up and blushed hotly. This was far more explicit than before that he had with Aqua. 'But why do these dreams keep coming? I barely know much about the soul demons and the mating practices. I only know what Yami has told me, no more. Could I really be the one that Yami and Aqua are looking for?' Yugi thought as he laid back into the comforting pillows, pondering the thought.

Anzu stood outside the gates to the dark castle. She grinned at the thought of having the king as her husband and become a queen. 'I may not know much from what the king has told me but the idea of being a queen to a whole new world throws any cautious thoughts out the window.' Anzu thought as she slipped past the gates and walked over to the huge door. She knew that they're guards that might be roaming the castle so she would have to be careful with her actions.

'I must find the king and tell him that I want to be his queen. I can't let such a rare chance like this slip away from me now.' Anzu thought as she slipped inside and started her search.

Yami voraciously tore into the man's body, blood spilling everywhere through the dark alley. He knew about him when he took a glance at Yugi's mind. He was the one that has always hurt Yugi when he went to school. He didn't take that lightly. Now Ushio is the victim to a soul demon. Once Yami was done with his fill, he held up a bloody claw and wispy smoke started to rise from the mutilated body. It became a soul orb and he devoured it in one gulp. He swiped his long, thin tongue along his bloody claws, tasting the slightly tainted blood. "Aqua may have met you and didn't kill you, but now you have met your fate. I am taking care of young Yugi now and anyone that dares hurt him will face my wrath. I do not give mercy." Yami hissed as he dug his claw through the dead man's body until it was coated in blood and started to write a message into the nearby wall for all to see.

'We may need to keep ourselves hidden from the humans but they will learn to never mess with those that are protected by the demons that hide in the dark.' he thought as he finished with the message and walk over to the dead boy once more, ripping his still heart from his chest before he left. He knew Aqua would love to have the heart of Ushio. He had a craving for hearts and souls of evil. 'Now all we need to do is take care of that wretched girl that tried to separate him from Yugi and he can finally live a happy life beside us and his friends in the shadow kingdom.' Yami thought as he flew home and back to the child that have been the source of his current thoughts.

Zypher: That's all for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it cause I surely did.

Doruke: Do you think some reviewers will get at you for the almost lemon scene?

Zypher: I think so but don't worry, the lemons will come soon.

Doruke: Well, if you're sure. Please review everyone.

(As a final thought, if you reviewers know about Ninja Gaiden and saw those huge red and black dragon-like fiends, that what Doruke is based off of. And I don't own Ninja Gaiden either, so no suing.)
