A/N O.k. the fourth chapter. I have decided to put the first little bit of
romance in this chapter because:
1.) Some of my reviewers want it.
And
2.) Yami has taken this vampire thing to heart and spent the whole night threatening me until I said yes.
Yami: (nods)
And one more thing. I've decided that since Yami has been getting very mad at me for taking so long with the beginning authors notes, I will say my thank yous very quickly and try to answer questions as fast as possible. (Not saying that pharaoh Yami has any control over me. Ha, that will be the day.
Yami: (growls)
Anyway, thanks to: ShadowPhoenix, stupid kid 04 and blah, Keisha, and E for reviewing. (Hugs them)
And lets move on.

Chapter 4 ~ Love or Fear
*Yugi's View *
I could still sense that something bad was following us. The feeling had started after my friends came. And when Yami said that he heard it too. Well, I freaked out. Because what ever was following us wasn't human.
I looked over my shoulder, hoping not to see what was after us. Yami saw me look and gently tighten his grip on my hand, telling me silently that he wasn't going to let anything hurt me.
I let my gaze liger on the darkness that was behind us for just a minute longer, waiting for something to come running after us.
But after the minute was done and long gone, I decided that whatever was there was probably still at the graveyard, and since we where almost to my street, I should stop worrying about it. And start wondering about something else.
Ever since that night that Yami had snuck into my room and talked to me, I had been bugged by a question. And now was the best time to ask it.
"Yami?"
"Yes, Yugi."
"How did you know where my house was?"
I felt Yami stop and his hand slip out of mine, and for a minute I was afraid that I had upset him. But my fears where quickly destroyed when I felt Yami lay his hand gently on my back.
He then leaned over to me and whispered softly, if somewhat seductively, in my ear.
"Easy, young one. I followed you." It wasn't the words, but they way he said them to me that made a shiver of pleasure go though my body. My body shook slightly, and I know that Yami could feel it too, since his hand was still on my back, feeling every vibration.
He smiled gently at me and then started to lean back up. But before he did, he looked into my eyes and caught me in his gaze.
His eyes pore right into my soul. But the strange thing, was that it didn't make me feel uncomfortable, like it should. In fact, I felt warm and safe. Like nothing could ever hurt me.
Turning, Yami went to start walking again but was stopped by Joey, who had come back to...well, by the way he was looking at Yami, too kill the vampire.
"What did you do to him?" demanded Joey, Tristan and Tea coming back and standing behind him. I guess they saw us stop.
"Nothing." Yami said calmly. But he narrowed his eyes and I could tell that what was going to happen next, was not going to be good.
"Don't lie vamp! I know you did something." Joey growled, putting his fist up in an adept to frighten Yami.
Yami's eyes narrowed more and I could tell that he was getting kind of mad. I had to do something, before all of my friends would try and kill each other.
I raced over and got in between them, my one hand resting on Yami and the other resting on Joey. Placing myself as a barrier to stop the fight.
"Knock it off Joey." I said, as I felt Joey trying to get by me. "Don't try to fight with Yami."
"Try?" scoffed Joey. "I won't try Yug'. I will." He then pressed more of his power on me, trying to get to Yami.
Now, since Yami wasn't pushing on the other side I took my hand off him and used it to hold my raging friend.
"No Joey, you don't understand." I said, the fear that Joey would soon be dead flash in my mind. "Yami killed two guys last night. I don't want you to be next."
Joey's eyes widened and he took a step back, releasing the presser he had put on me.
"He what?!" Tea cried in disbelief.
Joey and Tristan looked at each other and nodded, seemly coming up with a plan on how to spike Yami.
"It's not what you think." I said. "Yami killed them..." I trail off and hesitated, but only for a second.
"Because they tried to kill me!" I cried.
Tea, Joey and Tristan gasped, but didn't say anything. So I went on.
I took a step backwards, so that I was standing close to Yami.
"Yes, he saved me guys." I said, my eyes locked onto my friends. "And whether you like it or not. I own him my life."
I looked up at Yami and smiled, which he returned. I then looked back at the three stunned teenagers in front of me.
Tea was the frist to speak. "Well, if he saved you...I don't see why we can't trust him."
I smiled. Tea was always the frist one to forgive someone, besides me anyway.
Tea looked over at Joey and Tristan and nudged them. Tristan made a "umph" noise, but cleared his throat and said,
"Yeah, sure."
"I guess." Joey said. "But he better not try anything."
"I swear to you, I won't." Yami said behind me. I sighed in relief. Well at least I didn't have to worry about that anymore.
"We should keep going." Yami said firmly.
Everyone nodded and we all walked a little farther down the road, right to the street sign.
"We'll be seeing you guys later." Joey said. Tristan nodded and they both headed off to the directions of their houses.
"I better go too." Tea said. "I'll see you tomorrow Yugi, and you to Yami." She then walked off and just before she was gone she waved to us and disappeared.
I looked over at Yami and waited for him to go back to the graveyard. So I would be all alone again, something that filled me with sadness and dread.
It always seemed like I was alone. Whether it was in school, (the only attention I got was from the bullies.) or in my home. (Grandpa tried to spend time with me, but he was always so busy with running the store.) I was always alone, and that terrible thing called death had made its way into me.
Telling me that I would be happier if I was dead. That thought made tears appear in the corner off my eyes.
I sighed, well my loneliness couldn't be helped or avoided, so it would be best if Yami just went and left me. I looked at the ground and waited.
"Yugi?" Yami asked.
I didn't answer.
And, just then, it started to rain. The rain was heavy and as it washed over me it made me wet and very cold.
I shivered in the dark, but still, I waited in my sorrow.
But suddenly, I felt something dry laid on my back. I looked up and saw that Yami was covering me with his cape.
"Come on. Let's get you home young one." Yami said. He then picked me up and held me; my arms wrapping themselves around his neck and just letting my tears fall with the rain as he took me down the street.
I was glad to have such a good friend.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
*Yami's View*
Joey's flashlight had weakened me, but not destroyed me. I was not just about to burst into flames like some people thought I would. Being hit by light just didn't work like that.
In reality, _any_ light that hit me would just cause me great pain. But Joey's light didn't leave any permanent damage since it was such a weak light. So I was able to pick up my friend and take him home, even though I was still kind of tried.
Yugi was really upset. He was all crunched up in a ball in my grasp, laying his head on my shoulder, his arms wrapped slightly around my neck. I could hear him sobbing and he shook slightly with every sob.
I tighten my gentle grip on him. "It's going to be o.k. Yugi." I said. "I won't leave you."
I knew that he had been feeling lonely; by the way he suddenly became so sad when everyone else had left him. And when he waited for me to leave him, I knew that I couldn't.
Other vampires would say that I was caring too much. But they were wrong. They were all wrong. I was just not going to allow Yugi to live in his sadness until he would be consumed by it and eventually die from it.
I smiled to myself as I continued to carry him until we got to his house, in which I pushed the doorbell. Yugi's Grandfather appeared, and without a word he opened the door and let us in.
"What happen?!" Yugi's Grandfather demanded when we were out of the rain.
I sighed. "A lot." I calmly stated.
The Grandfather gave me a suspicious look and then looked down at Yugi's wet and shaking form. I sighed again, now there was someone else that didn't trust me. Like he should, sometimes I didn't even trust myself.
"Well you two better come and get dry. You're both soaking wet." The older man said.
I nodded and a raindrop slid down one of my bangs and hit the floor. I really hadn't worried about myself, so I really hadn't even noticed the rain had gotten me so wet.
The grandfather nodded, turned around and led me though a door that was in the back of the shop, all the while taking to me.
"So, you're the.." He trailed off, I guess he thought it would insult me if he said vampire.
"Yes," I said. "I am."
"Thank you for saving my grandson." he said.
"It was no trouble." I said, ~No trouble at all.~ I thought to my self.
I had tensed up a little when Yugi's grandfather had given me that suspicious look. My instincts told me to put Yugi down and run for it. But I held my ground. I wasn't going to leave Yugi all alone again. And since I really hadn't seen all of Yugi's house, I let the grandfather led me up a staircase.
When we got to the top, I looked around, getting a feel for the nice house. To my left was a: living room, a dining room, and a kitchen all lined up from the front of the house to the back. There weren't any walls to separate the rooms but that was o.k. because the big space had a welcome feel to it.
And to my right was a dimly lit hallway, which had three doors. One of the doors was open and I could see that it was the bathroom. And the other two were both closed and were directly across from each other.
"Yami." The old man's voice pierced the stillness of the air. It didn't surprise me that he knew my name, because Yugi probably told him after I had left the night before.
"Take Yugi to his room please. I don't want him to get a chill."
I nodded and walked down the hallway.
When I got to the two doors I looked at one, then the other, trying to decide which one was Yugi's.
Yugi stirred and shifted in my arms, taking his head off of my shoulder and looking up at me.
"You can put me down now Yami." He said. "I'm o.k."
I looked down at him. "Are you sure?" I asked.
Yugi nodded, so I gently placed him on his feet.
I then lifted his head by placing my hand under his chin and getting him to look at me. He looked a little tired, but other then that he was o.k.
"You should get out of those wet clothes." I said.
Yugi blinked and slowly nodded. And when I was sure he could stand and move on his own without falling over, I let him go.
"I'll be right back." He said before going to the door on my right, disappearing into the room, and shutting the door.
I sighed and more off to the bathroom, maybe they had a towel in there that I could use. Not that I didn't mind staying wet, I did it all the time. But I didn't want to leave puddles on the floor.
I got to the bathroom and found a towel hanging on a hook. I grabbed it and was just drying off my hair when I heard someone walk to the bathroom door and stand there, as if they where afraid to talk to me.
I pulled the towel off my head and looked toward the doorway out of the corner of my eye.
Yugi was standing there with his eyes looking at the floor and some folded clothes in his arms. He had changed and now wore a set of light aqua green pjs with light yellow stars on them.
"Yami... I don't think that you'll be able to go home yet...But if you want, you can stay with us." Yugi said quietly. "For the night, I mean." He quickly added.
I looked away from him and was glad that my hair had fallen around my face, so he couldn't see me smile.
"Yes, I will Yugi." I replied, keeping my voice the same as always. Yugi smiled and placed the clothes on the counter besides me, before he ran off, closing the door behind him.
I smiled again, I was starting to like that young one. But then I frowned as something bad echoed in my mind. Being around Yugi was going to make my instincts go crazy.
Back out in the street, when I had whispered gently to Yugi. I felt something. Like a rubber band that was getting tight. And I knew what the band was, my instincts.
How long would I be able to keep myself in control? And- And what if the band snapped? I would lose control completely. I would take Yugi's innocence, and I didn't want too do that.
So, I would just have to keep myself in check, no matter what.
Looking over at the clothes Yugi had left me, I saw that they were black with silver stripes. And when I held them up I smiled, these things were definitely one of Yugi's "grow into" things, as they look way to big for him. Heck, they were even almost too big for me.
After changing, I looked into the mirror in front of me and was pleased at what I saw. The black of the pjs helped bring out the darkness of my eyes. I'd half to ask Yugi where he shopped.
And before you say anything. Yes, I do have a reflection. I shouldn't, but after so many of my race were found and killed by just not having reflections, we had to adapt.
I rung out my wet clothes in the sink and hung them by the bathtub so that they could drip dry, before I left the bathroom, walked to Yugi's door, and knocked on it.
"Come in." I heard Yugi say though the door.
I entered and saw him lying on his bed, reading a book. He looked up at me with wide eyes, looked down at his book, quickly closed it and hid its title under his arms. This automatically intrigued me.
"What are you reading Yugi?" I asked, leaning up on the doorframe.
"N-nothing." Yugi stammered. I looked at him with my dark eyes and he sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide anything from me. He pulled the book out and held it up so I could read the title.
Painted in golden letters on the front of the black leather book, was the word: Vampires.
My eyes widened, someone had written a book about my race. I wasn't scared, but my interest had reached it peak. "Let me see that." I said as I walked toward the bed.
Yugi handed it to me and I opened the book, flipping though the pages. He winced when my eyes narrowed.
"WHO IN THE NAME OF RA WROTE THIS?!" I screamed out in rage.
I didn't stop to look at the author's name, but just continued to flip though the pages and see how wrong this book was.
As I read this horrible piece of literature, if you could even call it that, I was getting more enraged by the second.
On about page 36 there was a piece of info that said that vampires had HOLLOW fangs! That was an insult! If we did then they would break off every time we tried to feed.
This BOOK made us sound like bloodthirsty killers, which some of us were, but not all of us where like that.
I got too the back of the book and wanted to destroy it. If any other vampires saw this then they would probably go hunt down the author. But Yugi didn't give me a chance to rip the book in half, because he grabbed it from me and threw it under his bed.
"THAT was disturbing." I said, pointing to where the evil thing lay under Yugi's bed.
"I know." Yugi said, looking up at me. "As soon as I started reading I knew that it had to be wrong....But is anything in that book true?" Yugi asked, somewhat frightened. Some of that stuff in that book was very frightening.
"No." I said firmly. "It's all wrong." But I knew that I had lied.
There was one piece of information in that book that was true. That vampires had great lust to take the innocence and virginity of mortals. Especially from kids like Yugi.
Yugi continued to lie on his stomach for another minute, looking at his bedspread. A curious, but worried, look in his soft violet eyes. Then he whispered something that even I almost didn't hear.
"Then what is."
I sighed and sat down on the floor so I could look up into his eyes. I couldn't tell him about my instincts and what they wanted me to do. But I knew that I was going to fight with all I possessed, and the least thing I could do for him was to erase his worries.
"Yugi," I said softly, moving my hand up and gently pushing some of Yugi's bangs out of his angelic eyes. "Whatever you think. Whatever you believe. Don't worry, because I won't hurt you. I promise."
Yugi looked at me, tears threatening to fall. He whimpered before I rose slightly so I could sit on the bed.
Yugi pulled himself up and nestled into my chest and lap, letting his tears fall for the second time that night as I held him, resting my head on top of his.
The Light, being held by the Dark.

Next chapter will be a struggle between Yami's mind and his vampire instincts. So you don't want to miss it.
And if anyone has read this far then please, please, please review. I know that reviewing can sometimes be annoying, but if you don't then I will just give up and there won't be any big romance scene.
Yami: Noooooooooooo.
So please review, for Yami's sake. And one more thing, I'm afraid that my little story keeps getting lost in the over 300 pages of the Yu-Gi-Oh section of Fanfiction.net. So if could you please tell other people about my story I would be very thankful.
And since my story keeps getting lost, just go to this site:
?storyid=1256335
It's just an easier way to get to this story. Instead of surfing around fanfiction.net, I mean. Thank you so very much. ^_^
R+R
1.) Some of my reviewers want it.
And
2.) Yami has taken this vampire thing to heart and spent the whole night threatening me until I said yes.
Yami: (nods)
And one more thing. I've decided that since Yami has been getting very mad at me for taking so long with the beginning authors notes, I will say my thank yous very quickly and try to answer questions as fast as possible. (Not saying that pharaoh Yami has any control over me. Ha, that will be the day.
Yami: (growls)
Anyway, thanks to: ShadowPhoenix, stupid kid 04 and blah, Keisha, and E for reviewing. (Hugs them)
And lets move on.

"What did you do to him?" demanded Joey, Tristan and Tea coming back and standing behind him. I guess they saw us stop.
"Nothing." Yami said calmly. But he narrowed his eyes and I could tell that what was going to happen next, was not going to be good.
"Don't lie vamp! I know you did something." Joey growled, putting his fist up in an adept to frighten Yami.

So, I would just have to keep myself in check, no matter what.
Looking over at the clothes Yugi had left me, I saw that they were black with silver stripes. And when I held them up I smiled, these things were definitely one of Yugi's "grow into" things, as they look way to big for him. Heck, they were even almost too big for me.
After changing, I looked into the mirror in front of me and was pleased at what I saw. The black of the pjs helped bring out the darkness of my eyes. I'd half to ask Yugi where he shopped.
And before you say anything. Yes, I do have a reflection. I shouldn't, but after so many of my race were found and killed by just not having reflections, we had to adapt.
I rung out my wet clothes in the sink and hung them by the bathtub so that they could drip dry, before I left the bathroom, walked to Yugi's door, and knocked on it.
"Come in." I heard Yugi say though the door.
I entered and saw him lying on his bed, reading a book. He looked up at me with wide eyes, looked down at his book, quickly closed it and hid its title under his arms. This automatically intrigued me.
"What are you reading Yugi?" I asked, leaning up on the doorframe.
"N-nothing." Yugi stammered. I looked at him with my dark eyes and he sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide anything from me. He pulled the book out and held it up so I could read the title.
Painted in golden letters on the front of the black leather book, was the word: Vampires.
My eyes widened, someone had written a book about my race. I wasn't scared, but my interest had reached it peak. "Let me see that." I said as I walked toward the bed.
Yugi handed it to me and I opened the book, flipping though the pages. He winced when my eyes narrowed.
"WHO IN THE NAME OF RA WROTE THIS?!" I screamed out in rage.
I didn't stop to look at the author's name, but just continued to flip though the pages and see how wrong this book was.
As I read this horrible piece of literature, if you could even call it that, I was getting more enraged by the second.
On about page 36 there was a piece of info that said that vampires had HOLLOW fangs! That was an insult! If we did then they would break off every time we tried to feed.
This BOOK made us sound like bloodthirsty killers, which some of us were, but not all of us where like that.
I got too the back of the book and wanted to destroy it. If any other vampires saw this then they would probably go hunt down the author. But Yugi didn't give me a chance to rip the book in half, because he grabbed it from me and threw it under his bed.
"THAT was disturbing." I said, pointing to where the evil thing lay under Yugi's bed.
"I know." Yugi said, looking up at me. "As soon as I started reading I knew that it had to be wrong....But is anything in that book true?" Yugi asked, somewhat frightened. Some of that stuff in that book was very frightening.
"No." I said firmly. "It's all wrong." But I knew that I had lied.
There was one piece of information in that book that was true. That vampires had great lust to take the innocence and virginity of mortals. Especially from kids like Yugi.
Yugi continued to lie on his stomach for another minute, looking at his bedspread. A curious, but worried, look in his soft violet eyes. Then he whispered something that even I almost didn't hear.
"Then what is."
I sighed and sat down on the floor so I could look up into his eyes. I couldn't tell him about my instincts and what they wanted me to do. But I knew that I was going to fight with all I possessed, and the least thing I could do for him was to erase his worries.
"Yugi," I said softly, moving my hand up and gently pushing some of Yugi's bangs out of his angelic eyes. "Whatever you think. Whatever you believe. Don't worry, because I won't hurt you. I promise."
Yugi looked at me, tears threatening to fall. He whimpered before I rose slightly so I could sit on the bed.
Yugi pulled himself up and nestled into my chest and lap, letting his tears fall for the second time that night as I held him, resting my head on top of his.
The Light, being held by the Dark.

Next chapter will be a struggle between Yami's mind and his vampire instincts. So you don't want to miss it.
And if anyone has read this far then please, please, please review. I know that reviewing can sometimes be annoying, but if you don't then I will just give up and there won't be any big romance scene.
Yami: Noooooooooooo.
So please review, for Yami's sake. And one more thing, I'm afraid that my little story keeps getting lost in the over 300 pages of the Yu-Gi-Oh section of Fanfiction.net. So if could you please tell other people about my story I would be very thankful.
And since my story keeps getting lost, just go to this site:

It's just an easier way to get to this story. Instead of surfing around fanfiction.net, I mean. Thank you so very much. ^_^
