Author's Note: I know a lot of you have been complaining that a lot of actions taken in the story have made NO sense whatsoever relative to the impression I'm trying to make on the vampires and Sea Folk. Just beware that this story is VERY early on in its structure, and that we'll address all issues as soon as we can. But please bear with us, this is a literal rollercoaster ride, storywise.

Go ahead and try to see through me
Do it if you dare.
One step forward, two steps back now.

Chapter 003: The Self-Imposed Seal

There was a time way back in the day that Yami remembered when he was a king over the land of Egypt. He remembered one day during that time, where he was going over with his priests about a ritual, when one of his guards came in. "Sir, one of the sea creatures has surrendered at the gate and asks to see you!"

Yami looked intriqued. "Who?"

"He calls himself Seto."

He nodded. "Bring him to my throne room, immeditely!" He headed back for his throne room where he awaited for Seto to be brought in.

The blue eyed brunette entered the room quietly, glancing about.

Yami stood up. "Cousin Seto, I must admit, you take me by suprise to come here. Not that I'm not glad to see you, but what brings you to my kingdom?"

"Those of the sea do not earn my abilities as a priest, my cousin."

"I suppose my banishment finally convinced you to see for yourself what they are really like."

Seto merely nodded once.

"So then." Yami sat down again ands pressed his fingers together. "What is it that I can do for you?"

"I wish to join you, is that not plain to see?"

"Forgive my ignorance, I just wished to hear these words for myself before I made any attempts to assume your intentions."

The priest smirked slightly. "I know."

"So then, the only real question I must ask. Are you sure you wish to bear the curse and responsibilites of our kind?"

"I have thought it over for a full month before coming here."

Yami nodded. "Then come to me."

Not hesitating at all, Seto moved towards his cousin.

Yami stood behind Seto and held his shoulders, leaning in.

Closing his eyes, Seto didn't move away at all, trusting in his cousin.

Yami quickly bit into his neck and began to drain him.

Shivering slightly, Seto relaxed.

Yami sucked at him till he drained him, and let go of his neck.

Seto as struggling to breathe for a moment before relaxing.

Yami held him in his arms, and bit into his own wrist, pressing it against Seto's lips. "Drink and be reborn, High Priest of Shadows..."

Slowly, Seto drank, making a slight face of disgust at first at the taste.

Yami held his head and let him drink until he was able to regain strength.

Slowly, Seto opened his eyes once the dizzyness passed.

Ruby eyes looked at him before helping him up to his feet. "Welcome to our world, my friend."

Seto smiled faintly, regaining his balance slowly.

"Its actually lucky you came at this time, we were working on a ritual, and we could use your help."

"A ritual?"

"Yes. We're working on creating keys to seal off the doorway and prevent the tragic events that destroyed Atlantis from happening again."

An eyebrow raised slightly. "Really?"

"Yes. This will stop the plans of the seafolk from ever rising again."

"Thats good to hear. The humans have as much right to this world after all."

Yami nodded. "Follow me, my other priests are creating the keys as we speak. I will need you to channel the powers of blood and water into the Shadowstone we have."

Nodding slowly in agreement, Seto followed.

They came into a temple where golden objects were being taken out of a forge, and a black stone glew in the center of the room. Yami took each item and placed them in stone tablets circling the room. "I cannot be certain of the side effects of the cerimony, so be prepared when the shadowstone splits."

"I'll be ready for when it happens."

He nodded and picked up the Shadowstone in his hand, closing his eyes and concentrating. "Now."

Closing his own eyes, Seto concertrated on the essence of magic within the room, focusing the two needed into the gem.

The stone glew brightly as did the items around the room, as they channeled thair powers into the Shadowstone. There was an explosion of magic and the Shadowstone split apart, dropping from Yami's hands onto the ground as red and blue stones.

Quickly, Seto concentrated in controlling the magic caused by the explosion.

The magic energy shot through Yami's chest and formed a ball in the center of the room. Something in the magic ball began to form.

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Seto watched the ball carefully.

The object formed into a ball of white feathers. Yami breathed in.

"White feathers?"

"Seto...I think...its a heart angel." A creature summoned from the next world, usually as an after effect of a magic explosion, reflecting the heart of the one that summoned it. It lives to serve its master.

"So we have a white winged heart angel. Does that mean purity?"

He nodded. "It's very innocent and loving..." He approached it and knelt before it. "And it lives to take on any form its master wishes."

Frowning a bit, Seto watched the creature, sensing the magic waiting to change its form.

Yami gently stroked at the wings, wishing to see its form.

One of the wings twitched at the petting before bits of white fur appeared, the heart angel taking on the appearence of a white feline.

Yami smiled. "How fitting, to take the role of an underworld guardian."

"Looks like a winged cat, Yami."

He nodded before looked at his hair. "But look at this..." He stroked at the emerging tri-colored hair.

A purr of delight emerged from the still forming creature, gaining more human looks as well without losing the feline features.

Yami breathed in delight, watching it form before his eyes before scooping it up into his arms. "He's beautiful."

Slowly, the creature's eyes opened, revealing eyes of purest amythest.

Ruby eyes looked back at him with joy. "Hello there."

Ears perked forward at hearing Yami's voice, regonizing it as that of his master.

Yami smiled. "Can you speak, little angel?"

Slowly, the angel nodded a bit at the question.

"Then I wish to hear your voice."

Blinking for a moment, be blushed a bit. "Hello..."

Yami smiled. "A beautiful voice, for a beautiful creature." He looked around the room. "Let this creature before you serve as a reminder that we strive for peace in the world, to survive and live."

Seto smiled slightly. "What will he eat?"

Yami looked to the creature. "Anything he wants. Have someone bring him the best milk and berries."

Nodding, Seto made sure the others heard.

Yami smiled and rubbed noses with the creature. "And what name do you go by, little one?"

He squeeked slightly at the nose rub. "Yugi."

"Yugi. What a delightful name for someone as cute as you are." Yami looked to Seto. "I shall be retiring to my chambers. See to it that the items and stones are locked in a safe place, and then you may choose any chambers in the palace as your own. You have access to all my servants and guards services."

"Thank you for accepting me, cousin."

"Certainly, cousin." He left, nuzzling the kitten in his arms. "You must know a lot of things to help serve your master, do you not?"

Purring happily, Yugi returned the nuzzle. "Know magic."

Yami smiled. "Sounds excellent." He entered his chambers, where a bowl of milk and berries sat on the floor. He smiled and set Yugi down on the floor in front of them.

A delighted smile showed on Yugi's face before eagerly lapping up the milk.

Yami smiled before calling up a servant, demanding the best collar and accessories to be made for his little Yugi. She bowed and ran off.

Purring happily, Yugi licked the bowl clean before starting to work on the berries.

Yami smiled as he watched him. "Its rather cute how you are humanlike, yet you act like a pet. But then I guess its a reflection if what I imagine in my dreams, isn't it?"

Mutely, Yugi nodded, mouth full of berries.

Yami waited till Yugi was done eating before he took off his tunic and settled into bed. "Come here, my little pet."

Wings fluttering slightly, Yugi scampered up onto the bed.

Yami pulled Yugi into his arms and nuzzled into him. "I longed for a bedmate."

Automatically, Yugi snuggled against him, purring gently.

Yami sighed in happiness, a hand stroking his chest fur, feeling his soft silky coat.

Yugi's purr increased grealy at the petting.

Yami nuzzled his face into his fur, gently kissing at his neck.

Purring softly once more, Yugi settled down in comfort.

Yami rolled over so that he was atop of Yugi and began to brush his lips against Yugi's in a brief kiss.

A surprised squeek emerged, amythest eyes looking up at him.

Ruby eyes gazed back him with a smile. "Mine."

Yugi blinked before smiling. "Yours."

With that, Yami kissed him deeply.

Easily, Yugi submitted to his master.

Yami thrusted a tounge into his mouth, rubbing it against his catlike tounge as hands felt the other's body.

Amythest eyes closed in delight, suckling at the exploring tounge.

A hand came between Yugi's legs and massaged there, the other hand stroking his tail.

A surprised squeek escaped again in reaction, squirming a bit.

Yami smiled as a finger probed his opening, the other stroking at the sheath between his legs.

Yugi squeeled in reaction to the attetion, squirming helplessly.

Yami smirked and suckled on his tounge as he pressed his arousal against Yugi's opening.

The half feline angel arched his back slightly, mewing softly.

Yami gently pushed himself into Yugi, groping Yugi's emerging arousal as he thrusted.

A cry escaped the youth at the feeling of being filled, gripping at his master.

Yami nipped at Yugi's neck in delight as he thrusted, squeezing his arousal.

Highly aroused, the angel cried out in pleasure, finding his release within minutes.

Yami moaned as he came into Yugi hard, collasping to his side, panting, when he was done.

Purring faintly, the feline was resting easily.

For a year, Yami and Seto worked together to protect their kingdom from the invading sea army. Somehow they had learned of the keys and often plotted to try and steal them. Meanwhile, Yugi had made a home within the palace and always by Yami's side as his pet and slave. Yami was always so kind to him. Yugi would often take on other forms to amuse his master. Yami's favorite was when Yugi took on the form of a merboy, because it appeared that Yami would have a merboy slave, much to his amusement, and Yami would lust over him greatly. With Yugi's magics, he was able to breathe normally in the air.

Chirping happily, the feline youth was currently laying on a thick fur rug, playing with a couple of blocks.

Yami smiled as a bucket of water was brought, so he could sponge Yugi down. He dipped a sponge into the water and began to drip water all over Yugi's body.

Amythest eyes closed in delight at the feeling, automatically shifting to that of a merboy.

Yami smiled, running a hand down Yugi's sensitive tail and washing it.

Trembling, Yugi squeeled, squirming playfully.

Yami wasn't able to have much fun before an alarm sounded, summoning the court to the throne room. Yami stood up sharply, alert.

Startled at the sound, Yugi sat up, amythest eyes showing fear.

Just as Seto appeared, a guard ran in. "The sea forces have somehow broken into the ancient sanctuary and stolen the Millenium Items and the stones!"

Yugi's eyes went wide in reaction, instantly shifting into the form of a snow tiger, wings sprouting from his shoulders, already racing off to to protect the items.

"Yugi!" Yami looked at Seto. "Let's go!"

The brunette nodded, chasing after the heart angel quickly, paying no attetion to whoever the tiger had knocked over on his quest to get the items back.

Yami growled as they ran. "They're trying to reopen the gateway to the Plane of Chaos. Lord Seth will NOT be happy if they suceeed."

A roar echoed down the hall, full of challenge. "He's fighting them Yami!"

They got into the chambers to find that all the items were being used, and a glowing ball of green was forming. "DAMMIT! They've already begun!"

The massive winged tiger turned his amythest eyes towards Yami for a moment before leaping, a roar of defiance filling the air as he went straight for the glowing ball.

A bolt of lightning struck from the portal through the tiger and hit Yami in the chest, knocking him backwards. Yugi...was gone. Yami screamed with horror. "NO!"

Seto grabbed his cousin tightly. "He stopped them, Yami!"

Yami sat there, totally paralyzed as fighting around them continued. "Yugi..." He felt a twittering in his heart and he layed a hand on his chest.

"Cousin, we must go before they get away!"

There was a sudden roar that drew thair attention. A chaos monster, the only one to get through the portal before it was forced closed, got through. "...oh hell..."

"Yami lets go!"

Yami jumped to his feet. "We have to stop that thing. One of those alone wiped out Atlantis! My kingdom is next!"

"Then lets not put Yugi's effort to waste."

He nodded and they took off down the hall, heading for the temple of Anubis, the god that watched over their kingdom. "Seto...I have an idea. But I may not be able to walk away from it."

"I understand cousin. We must do whatever it takes to stop it."

He nodded as they entered the temple. "I must summon the power of Anubis, since I am the only one able to do so. But it'll take his full strength to stop a creature of chaos, and as you know...using my full powers unchecked will leave me as a sleeping corpse. If this is my fate, you must do what you can to gather all the items, if you are to reawaken me."

The brunette nodded in understand. "I promise I will."

Yami nodded and approached the shrine, closing his eyes. His body started to cover in a shroud of black mist.

The priest hung back now.

When the mist cleared, Seto beheld the form of an egyptian jackal, who turned and looked at Seto with ruby red eyes. "Farewell, my cousin."

Closing his eyes for a moment he bowed. "Farewell and may your sleep be peaceful."

Yami nodded and took off to face the creature head one. When it was all over, everyone was gone. Most of the items were there, but the Waterstone was missing. Among the items, Yami layed, fallen against the floor, with a hand over his heart.

Gentle eyes gazed down at his cousin quietly before gently picking him up, taking him to the shrine.

And so, in the present, Yami woke up, with that memory shining in himself. He looked at Yugi, who was sleeping by his side, and wondered if he had the same dream as well. He stroked his hair. "Yugi...?"

A gentle purr emerged from the slumbering youth, mummering slightly without relizing it, a small white rose of magic energy emerging for a moment nearby before fading out again.

He smiled and stroked Yugi's hair again... "...Angel...?"

A small noise emerged, a question at the sound he thought was his name.

He smiled softly. "Hello, little angel."

Amythest eyes opened slightly for a second before closing again, the merboy still sound asleep.
