Chapter 06: "Loss of Innocence"
Yami kissed Yugi hungrily, pressing himself against the other. -I love you so much...-
A faint moan escaped the smaller youth, small hands already exploring as he returned the kisses just as hungerly, showing his love just how much he loved him.
His own hands were exploring his mate's body, as he pressed lips against the other's neck. -I want us to have a little one...-
Gasping slightly he tilted his head back to expose more of his neck. -Me too.-
He kissed up and down as he slowly turned Yugi over onto his stomach, mounting atop of him.
Yugi was panting by now, completly relaxed and fully aroused.
He started to sing to him softly as he gently pushed himself into Yugi's opening.
Amythest eyes were half closed in pleasure, listening easily to the music.
He sang as he gently started to thrust, singing his song of love and eternal union. -My heart will always be your...-
The youth was squirming slightly in pure delight, already lost in the love he felt from his mate.
He thrusted into him, more and more, making sweet eternal love to him, until his seed of life spilt into his body.
He cried out his completion within minutes at the feeling, becoming limp in excuastion and contentment.
He nuzzled into his neck and just sang to him for a while.
Amythest eyes closed he snuggled close, settling down quietly to listen to him sing.
--------------------------------------
They didn't know how long they were there. They didn't know how soon. But when Yugi came to, he knew it was time. He could feel the forces of darkness upon them.
Large eyes were wide at sensing the coming darkness, cowering back into Yami's arms without waking him.
He slept on, unaware as the gnolls came upon them. Gutternose was at the forfront. "So...Ocean Angel, you ARE here..."
Yugi glared at the gnolls, wings half opening to hide his mate from view.
They grabbed Yugi and Yami from their little cove and carried them out of the water, yami giving out a sudden cry for the other. What was worse was that Yami had NO idea what he was about to be put through.
The small youth was struggling wildly, trying to get to his mate.
"Now, Ocean Angel in our grasp...give us an all powerful demon to help us rule this world!"
"NEVER!"
Even then, he knew that, within their hold, he could not prevent the events that came. Yami doubled over, gripping his midsection and cried out in terrible pain.
Tear filled amythest eyes looked over at his mate, still struggling to get to him. "Nonononono..."
He screamed louder, drawing the alarm of the others to their area.
Seto's eyes shot open from where he was resting, bolting through the water towards the scream.
Yami arched his whole body as he his tail split apart, forming legs, breaking his purity of being a pure merboy.
Yugi was crying by now, wanting to stop the changes badly and knowing he couldn't do a thing.
Joey came running, catching up to Seto as Yami rolled over, his whole body spasming as his skin paled, his hair dying, claws forming on his hands and feet, and large terrible demon wings forming out of his back.
The brunette came to a stop with a gasp, shock showing on his face as he watched the change.
He hissed as fangs grew out, his face twisting and becoming demonic, eyes becoming a pure blood red.
-YAMI!-
There was no response as he stood up, watching the world through demonic eyes. Under his clawed feet, life began to drain and die, and did so with each step he took.
Yugi's face fell at the sight, his heart hurting badly for his mate.
The demon glared at the gnolls who summoned his power and grabbed them by the throats, tearing into their necks and draining them of life before dropping dead, dried up shrivled bodies of fur on the dead grass.
The Ocean Angel paled in reaction, looking sick to his stomach while Seto recovered from his shock and raced towards the two.
The demon threw Yugi a lustful hungry glance before taking to the skies. Sugoroku came running out with some of his elves and gnolls. "The demons gone to hunt, he is full of hunger and lust for mankind."
Curled up where he had been dropped the small merboy was shaking badly, he couldn't beleive Yami killed those gnolls like that.
Sugoroku knelt beside Yugi and placed his hands on his shoulders. "Yugi..."
Hurting amythest eyes looked up at his grandfather quietly before breaking down into tears.
He held him for the longest time. "You know what you have to do now."
It took awhile before he calmed down enough to nod, flexing his wings before pulling away. He had to chase after his mate and restore him to how he was.
Sugoroku watched them as Joey approached them. "Is there anything you want us to do...?"
Slowly, Yugi shook his head a bit. "I'm the only one who can help him..."
Joey nodded. "Good luck then."
Spreaking his wings, wide he took to the air after the now vanished demon.
------------------------------
By the time Yugi found Yami, he had terrorized one of the cities on the coast, eating and raping whatever humans he could grab a hold of.
Yugi went completly pale at the state of the city, flying around wildly in an effort to locate his mate.
He heard a female scream as found the demon as a woman was dropped, raped and torn completely apart.
"YAMI!"
He looked up with a hiss, glaring at the angel.
"Yami! Stop This!"
He only started to advance on the angel.
Amythest eyes blinked in reaction, hovering in place in confusion.
He started to pounce him, pinning him to the ground.
He gave a startled yelp in reaction, tensing up as he didn't know what to do, eyes staring up at his mate.
He started to paw and claw at his body, manipulating him into human form. Yugi knew it wasn't Yami's fault at all for this, it was the gnoll's fault. A demonic tounge slithered down his front and between the forming legs.
The youth couldn't help but cry in pain and hurt, he didn't like this at all, how was he going to get his mate back?
He started to suck at the other, licking and sucking off the length.
Crying and hiccuping he forced himself to relax, this was his mate after all, dispite how he was acting.
As he felt the demon tounge once again slip across his belly, it felt...oddly arousing. The scents of death and decay mixed with his life-giving aromas, creating an exotic arousing scent that actually drew the demon to calm enough to focus his lust upon the other's mind.
Yugi shivered at the smells his nose detected. He was scared, just wanting his mate back to normal.
As lips pressed against his, he suddenly calmed further, and for the first time, Yugi could feel the first shreds of Yami's immense fear of the demon that controlled him, not understanding anything at all. Not understanding the darkness that tainted his heart.
-Yami...-
The lips slowly broke, the other staring at him as Yugi heard a mental whimper.
Tears were surfacing again now. -Yami... I'm scared...-
He finally heard the pitiful cry. -...Yugi...what's...what's wrong with me...?-
Hiccuping badly, he tried his best to explain what happened.
-Help me...please...- He finally collasped over, eyes wide and full of fear as he began to fight off the demon controlling him.
Shaking, he slowly sat up, pulling Yami into his arms to hug tightly.
He let out a sudden gasp as his body began to change in a flash of light. When the light died, Yugi found that Yami...in his arms...was human. He did not change back to his orginal form...because he was no longer innocent.
Yugi started crying all over again now, clinging even tighter at the loss of innocence.
Yami opened his eyes, looking more lost than before. His exotic red eyes had become a human brown color, looking around, lost in a daze and not understanding. Why couldn't he hear Yugi anymore in his mind? Why couldn't he feel his soul, his aura, his heart? He looked around, completely lost.
"Yami...?"
"I...I can't hear the ocean...I can't...I can't hear anything! Why is it so silent! I can't hear the life! I can't hear anything anymore!" Yami was starting to panic.
"Yami... Its cause you're not pure anymore..."
"Nah-...not pure? I don't understand! Yugi..." he looked at him, about to cry. "I can't hear you anymore! I can't...I can't feel your love! I can't feel anything...I can't..." he gripped Yugi tightly and began to cry.
Amythest eyes became depressed in reaction to hearing his mate couldn't feel his love anymore, wings drooping sadly as he cried as well.
He looked up in desperation, making a crawl for the beach, stumbling as he tried to get up and run. "Need to get to the ocean...!"
Slowly the youth crawled to his feet to follow.
He splashed into the water and fell in it, trying to submerge himself, rolling in the shallow water, hoping it would somehow change him. He clawed at the wet sand and moved franticly. "No...NO! NOOO!"
Yugi was feeling completly heartbroken at watching his mate, plopping onto the sand bonelessly.
It became worse when Joey, human again, arrived on a boat with Seto. Seto saw his prince in the shallow water, panicing in the water. He was human now...a merboy no longer.
Blue eyes saddened in reaction to seeing his prince seprated from the call of the ocean like this, he knew he didn't ask for it to happen.
Yami sat in the water, hugging his knees and becoming lost within himself. Seto knew at this moment thast if it wasn't for Yugi's presence, that Yami would try to kill himself. He could hear nothing, and the silence will soon drive him mad.
The limp winged youth moved over towards the other teen, sitting into the water beside him.
Yami curled up into the other's arms, trying to feel his warmth, pressing an ear against his chest to hear his heart beat, to take away the silence in his head.
Yugi gently ran his hand through the other's hair quietly, sniffling sadly.
Just as Yami fell asleep, an elder Splitpaw Gnoll sudden approached the group along the beach, approaching Yugi and Seto.
The brunette priest was the first to spot the gnoll, swimming closer towards the beach.
He approached Yugi and looked down upon him.
Tear filled eyes looked upwards at the gnoll now, still hugging his now human mate.
"There is a way to restore his purity, enough to allow him to return to the sea and hear all of its life. But there must be changes made, and you must be prepared to accept them unconditionally..."
"Anything... I just want him restored to me again..."
"The darkness that is in his heart must be made a part of his soul. Not as the demon you experienced before, but just as a darker minded individual that represents your mortal needs for lust and control. I take it, that for the brief moment, while you feared the demon, the lust and control he brought over you drew your attraction, correct?"
Lowering his eyes at the question, he slowly nodded.
"He is your other half, and together as darkness and light, you bring balance to each other in a strong bond. Once you obtain that relationship, no one will ever be able to use you in such a way again. But you must be willing to accept this change without any regrets, and wipe away the past accounts. Only then, will he hear the ocean's heartbeat and swim in its waters again. He will also be allowed to travel across land as a human form."
"Please... I'll do anything..."
He nodded. "Carry him to the distant Isle of Shadows. Take him into the old castle and sit on the floor of the throne room in the magic circle. There, you are to awaken his darker side and give yourself to him willingly, performing the Shadow Mating Ritual."
Blinking for a moment in understanding, he nodded, gathering Yami into his arms before taking to the air, heading for the isle.
------------------------------------
He found the isle in the middle of a dark rough sea, an angry storm abrewing as he came across an old city ruin, with an abandoned castle near the top of the hill.
Flying against the wind, he reached the ground in exhaustion, panting hard before heading into the castle.
Something about this place...Yugi could feel the shadow magic swirling about. Yami stirred in his arms a bit. No doubt influenced by the magics.
Shivering slightly, he held his mate tighter, seeking the location of the throne room.
He found it. Before the throne, a mosaic of a magic shadow circle had been put in the flooring.
Suddently feeling nervous he made his way to the circle, setting Yami down before sitting beside him, unsure as to how to waken his mate's darker side.
He layed there for a moment before eyes slowly opened. He started to sit up.
"Yami...?"
He looked to him quietly.
Swollowing he looked at him finally. "There is a way for you to return to the sea..."
"Yes...?"
Defently nervous now, he explained what the Gnoll said.
He bit his lower lip. "S...so I...I have to let go...of the darkness I'm fighting back...?"
Slowly, he nodded at the question.
He slowly nodded. "Know this...my love for you is forever. No matter what the darkness does to me, know that I would never do anything to you that you truely don't want. But even if I do things...know that I DO love you that my greatest wish is that...no matter what we do together...that you'll love me unconditionally..."
"I'll always love you Yami, you're part of me."
He nuzzled him and kissed his lips for a moment.
Smiling softly, he easily returned the kiss.
He finally drew away. "Ready...?"
Slowly he nodded at the question, amythest eyes looking up at him.
