Zypher: Well, as one reviewer said, it has been a long while since I update this story but I was at a loss with some ideas so I never got back to it, especially with me working on some of my new stories. But don't worry, here's another chapter to Love on a Lunar Night for you all. I'm sorry for those that have been waiting for the next chapter for a while.

Love on a Lunar Night
Chapter 5

Jou and Kaiser explored their new home while Seto and Ruby went to relax. "Are these conditions to your liking, Jou?" Seto asked. Jou looked to him and nodded. "Everything's fine. I just wish my kaa-san and sister could come but I still want them to continue on with their lives back home, even if it's without me and Kaiser." Jou said as he went to sit beside the large dragon.
"Well, unlike Bakura, Crimson, Marik and Toben who would probably not let whoever they chose to see any life form again, if you wish to see your mother and sister or anyone else, we'll take you back to let you spend the day with them but by village laws, you must come back."
Jou nodded. "Thanks, Seto. That's really nice of you." Jou murmured. "We'll try to make your stay the best it can be." he said. "Now let's get to sleep now."

The demon that was watching Seto and Ruby come back with their offering made his way into a dark forest and came over to a cave. He walked inside, the cave soon being lit by green flames and he came to a flat top mound with a jade colored dragon resting on top. Another dragon only a dark emerald color looked over to him.
"What do you have to report?" The dragon questioned. "I just came back from monitoring Seto and Ruby's home and they have finally brought back someone from the village that seems to suit them." the demon said.
The emerald dragon grinned and stood. "Good, I've been waiting for the day I can get something from him. Wake up, Jade. We have some work to do tonight."

Yugi stayed up late that night, looking out to the Eastern demons home. He really wanted to go visit them again but what are the chances they will be nice and gentle like they were the last time they met. 'But I want to see them again. Chances are they may need more food since their night to come won't be until tomorrow.' Yugi thought before making his decision and taking another basket filled with meats, he was on his way back through the forest. The moonlit flowers were still there from his last visit and he followed them back to the demons' cave.
He didn't see any sign of the demons being outside so he quietly walked into the cave, going through complete darkness until the cavern started to lighten up. He came across some torches and continued on, soon reached the larger part of the now underground cave and looked around.
"Is anyone here?" he quietly called as he placed the basket down. A shadow moved from the corner of his eye and he turned in that direction to see a form emerge from the shadows.
"Who are you?" The figure whispered as he stood in front of him. Yugi examined the demon and saw it was the other one he saw, the one called Aqua. "Don't worry. I'm a friend and I came to bring some more food for you two." Yugi said as he placed the basket down on the floor.
"Ah, the human Yami told me about…" Aqua murmured as he walked over to him and gently sniffed him lightly before purring. "Your aura radiates innocence. You must be a very kind and noble child. Especially with helping us." He spoke as he sat before him.
"Yeah, I do a lot of things in hopes to help others and knowing you and Yami are pretty nice demons and would never take someone from our village, I want to help you two by bringing something for you." he said, gesturing to the basket filled with meats.
"We can't thank you enough for doing this for us. We really don't want to take people from your village unless it's necessary but your village seems to like giving us innocent people instead of felons or criminals that could possibly be there. That's why were never eat on the nights we come." he explained.
"Oh, that must be a shame. I probably might not be able to make a difference but maybe I can tell the village chief to start sending captured criminals to your mark on the nights you come so you can have a meal." Yugi murmured.
"That would be nice if you can succeed, little one." he said, leaning down and nuzzled him quietly, making the smaller boy blush lightly before lifting a hand and stroked his snout lightly, making him purr more. They heard someone coming and Aqua lifted his head, turning in the direction Yami was coming from.
He saw Yugi standing there and smiled softly. "You came back…I wasn't expecting you to come so soon." Yami spoke. "Well, I couldn't stop thinking about the day I came and met you for the first time and after hearing that you two never take the offerings the village gives you, I knew I may be of more help by bringing food to you."
He nodded and he took the basket farther into the small opening of their cavern home. Yugi looked around as he followed Aqua. "Is all the demons' homes like this?" he asked, looking to Aqua.
"From what we heard the last time we spoke, not really. They all choose their way of living. We decided to burrow underground from the cave opening just for safety measures." Aqua explained. Yugi nodded and started to ask a few more questions before he believed it was time to go.
"It was nice seeing you again, Yugi, and I'm happy to know that you're willing to help us when we need it." Yami said.
"It's no problem, I try my best. Even if you are demons and my village fears you, I still consider you as friends." Yugi replied as they walked up to the top of their underground home. "It's nice to know you would even think of considering us as friends while everyone else fears us." Aqua said as they reached the top and giving them a pat on their snout, he was on his way. They watched him leave before Aqua sighed. "I'm starting to miss him already." he said, looking to Yami.
"Don't worry. I'm sure that one day, he will become our destined one and we can have him by our side." Yami murmured before he headed back inside. Aqua watched him leave and then look towards the path Yugi took to get home. 'Maybe there's a way how I can stay beside him.' he thought and whispered a small spell that transformed him into a smaller version of his demon form (think of the Red Eyes B. Chick card in a way with his features) before he ran off towards Hereos.

Yugi snuck back inside his home quietly and headed up to his room, sitting down on his bed. 'I always feel so much better helping them. Maybe one day they will choose me to be the next offering and I will know that at least they will care for me.' he thought as he went to lay down in his bed when he heard slight tapping against his window.
He sat back up and looked towards it, seeing a fluttering form there. He got up and opened the window, seeing Aqua fluttering there. "Now how did you get here?" he asked as he moved and let him fly in.
/It's me, Yugi. Aqua. I came from the forest to spend some time with you./ he replied. "But why? You could be in danger coming here. And wouldn't Yami worry about where you are?" he questioned.
/He probably would know that I left and he would only worry if something may happen to me and I'm not going to let anything happen to worry him or you./ he said.
"Oh, well, I guess you can stay here but we need to be careful with the things we do cause I don't want to villagers to know you're here and have everyone in a panic." Yugi said as he picked up the smaller demon and walked over to his bed.
/Don't worry yourself. I'll be fine staying here in your room as long as you wouldn't mind bringing me something to eat once in a while./
"I will. I won't let you go hungry while you stay here." He hummed as he sat down on his bed and placed Aqua beside him.
"Now why don't you get some rest now? Maybe we can do something together tomorrow." Yugi said as he lied down and watched as Aqua crawled over and curled up beside his head. /Can't wait then./ he said before they both went to sleep.

Back at Seto and Ruby's home, they were all asleep now, unaware that the two demons that were banished to the forbidden area coming their way. "How do you know these people are even suitable? They probably chose some worthless humans just to make the village not worry about them as a threat." Jade muttered.
"I'm sure of it. You know our little hunter demon never lies and I trust that his description of these people are true enough." Otogi said. "Fine but you better be right." Jade hissed as they landed on the ledge of the rock formation and went inside, soon following blue and ruby red torches towards the interior of their home.
When they got there they blatantly gasped, albeit lightly so as to not wake Seto or Ruby, at the two that slept next to them. "You were right, they are gorgeous." Jade said before snarling lowly. "And Ruby was lucky enough to get him from the village." he snapped as he looked over the blond that slept by his side. Otogi only smirked.
"That's the reason we're here for. To get them. Now come on before Seto and Ruby sniff us out." he whispered. Jade nodded as they took Jou and Kaiser gently and silently from their sides so they wouldn't wake up before leaving the cave.
Otogi smirked as he looked down at his prize. 'Seto may believe he gets all the best things but something like this I won't be letting him get so easily.' he thought as they flew back to the forbidden area.

Bakura smirked as he watched the moon's light land on their symbol. "Crimson, send a message to that town that if they don't give us the boy and girl tonight, we'll destroy it completely." he said and Crimson nodded as he conjured up a raven that had said note with the request in its beak and flew off towards Daisure.
'Soon, little Ryou, after so many years of waiting and learning more about you, I will finally have you as my destined one…' Bakura thought as he waited alongside Crimson in their forested home.

Zypher: There, that will be all for this chapter. I hoped you enjoyed and will forgive me for putting this story off for so long due to lack of ideas. Hopefully soon enough, I'll get back to writing Demon of the Darkness and Darkened Myth of the Night. But for now. I'll continue working on my semi-new stories and try to get them done but I'll keep my eye on this as well along with some other old ones.
Note: If you need a visual on how their caves look like, in a way, the opening is like a regular small cave to those that look at it but farther inside will be a tunnel that's dark until a certain point where they will have lit torches, most of the time being the color they resemble (ex: Seto having the torches being blue fire and Ruby would have them red fire) and that will lead you the a small to medium sized opening where they sleep and eat their meals.
If need be, they will use their magic to make the cave to their liking. (ex: Seto and Ruby's home is more of a mountainous cavern while Bakura and Crimson's is like a cavern with many corridors just to be different from the others)
