Okay. It's time for chapter 8 but before I begin I would like to thank
Adrienne-Lillian/plushies a.k.a. Shizu Plushies Jaganshi Riddle for
catching Yami and tying him back down. (See Review)
Yami: (retied to the bed, mutters something)
What did you say pharaoh?
Yami: I said, 'I thought about what Adrienne-Lillian/plushies said in her review' and I've decided that she's right.
Oh. About what?
Yami: She was right about that I would have to write the end of the story if I killed you and I don't have time to write. I should duel, not write stories.
Hm. I guess your right.
Yami: So could you let me up now?
Not until you say it.
Yami: O.O NO! NO WAY!!!
Say it.
Yami: No.
Say it.
Yami: No.
Say it or I won't untie you.
Yami: (sighs) Alright. MoonlightDewz does not own Yu-Gi-Oh. How's that?
Very good. (Unties him slowly, making sure that he won't chase me)
Yami: (sits down but mutters something along the lines of "Must not kill.")
O_O Oooookay, lets get the chapter started before he changes his mind.

Chapter 8 ~ Healing and Truth
*Yugi's View*
I gripped tightly to Yami's shirt as he took me down the street. The darkness of the night seemed to press in on me, just as it seemed to be doing to the moon. The moon was just a silver crescent in the dark sky, it's silvery glow being devoured and blocked by the darkness of the night.
It was getting colder too, so it might snow soon, that's the weather channel said anyway.
I sighed and dug my head into Yami's chest. His breathing was smooth and calm, and relaxed me. I was glad that he was here, for if he hadn't come when Keno attacked me. I would have been killed, my back broken from being slammed into the wall.
I shut my eyes against the onslaught of tears that threaten to fall, both for my pain...and for Keno.
I felt awful for what happened to Keno. I mean, I know that he would have killed me if Yami hadn't come, but I just couldn't forget how Keno had begged and sworn that he'd never hurt me again, and Yami had killed him anyway.
I wondered what the guy's family, if he had one, would say when they found out, and what about the police? Would they somehow track Yami down and throw him in jail? Or what would happen when my friends or Grandpa found out?! Would they try and hurt Yami?!?!
A shuttering gasp came from me as my eyes shot opened at the realization that my friends could very well murder Yami if they wanted to. They had already seen how much the light from the flashlight hurt him.
I pressed up closer to Yami. Yami looked down at me, his grip gently tightening, and then he saw my wide eyes.
"Yugi?" he asked gently, slowing his walk so as not to trip on anything. "What's wrong?"
I shut my eyes tightly, shook my head back and forth, and said quietly. "N- Nothing."
Yami's eyes narrowed as he watched me. I could tell that he wanted to say something to me, but at the last second decided against it. He then sighed and went back to his normal walking pace.
I was glad that he wasn't going to question me. I was in too much pain too worry about answering.
~*~
When we got home it was about 7 o'clock, and everything in the house was dark. However, the darkness didn't keep Yami from finding his way through my house. He took me up the stairs and into the living room, where he gently sat down and rested me in his lap. We were sitting on the small couch that was parallel with the TV, and his one hand was placed on the back of my neck so that I didn't lean back to far and fall backwards.
I looked up at Yami and smiled, just barely though. My spine felt like it had been cracked right down the middle. Yami watched me and as he did, I noticed that his eyes held, sadness, pity, and regret, all rolled into one.
I felt bad for making him look at me like that, for if I had just come home after school then I wouldn't have run into Keno and damaged my back.
I looked away from Yami. If I watched his eyes anymore, I would start crying. We both kept quiet for a little while, me because I didn't know what to say to Yami, and him for....well I don't know, probably because he liked the dark and quiet.
However, he spoke first.
"Yugi." His voice broke the silence like a rock breaking a glass window. I looked over at him and saw that he had his head bowed, eyes closed. He then sighed, opened his eyes, and looked at me.
"Yugi, lean on my arm." He then stretched his right arm out so that if I sat up then it would be placed by stomach and would make a good place for me to lean on.
I looked at his arm and then looked at him with a look that clearly said, Why?
"Don't you trust me?" He asked. I blinked, what type of answer was that? I looked back at his arm and got this bad feeling that whatever Yami was going to do, it was going to hurt, a lot.
Nevertheless, the answer that I gave Yami was simple and quiet, but it was an answer.
"Yes Yami, I trust you." I then started to lean up and Yami's hand, the one that was resting on the back of my neck, helped me up. I leaned forward and rested the bottom of my chest and the top of my stomach on Yami's outstretched arm.
"Now just relax." Yami said, as I felt his fingers slipping up the back of my shirt.
My body stiffened and I gasped when I felt Yami's finger's touch my skin.
His touch was soft but cool, like a wisp of cold air, and it made the hair on the back of my neck rise up. I hadn't notice how cool his touch was before, because we had been outside, and it had been cold then.
I shook slightly from Yami's touch, but tried to keep myself still. I needed to ask him something and wanted his full attention.
"Yami?"
"Hm?" He said, not looking at me.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to check your backbone young one. I want to see how hurt you are."
"Oh." I answered.
I heard Yami sigh again, as his fingers found my backbone and pushed lightly on the bottom vertebrae. When I didn't make any noise he moved onto the next one, and the next one after that, until he hit a soft spot.
I yelped.
"Ow. Don't touch there!" I cried, squeezing my eyes shut.
Yami's eyes narrowed, and I heard a soft snort come for him, but he continued moving up my backbone anyway.
He hit a few more soft spots, although I didn't make as much noise as when he hit the first one. When he was finished, he ran two of his fingers down my backbone, which felt really nice.
I sighed, closed my eyes in relaxation, and smiled slightly as Yami started talking.
"Well, nothing's been broken," He said calmly, although he did run his fingers down my backbone a couple more times, just to make sure.
"And although you might be stiff later, it would be better if you stayed home tomorrow."
"But I can't stay home." I said, turning my head to look at him. "I have school."
Yami looked at me and smiled.
"Well, I think we can work out that little inconvenience." He said, before his right arm pushed me up, making me sit up.
Yami moved me off his lap and placed me so I was laying flat on my back on the couch. He then got up and moved off towards the kitchen.
I sat up slightly, propping myself up with my elbows so I could see where Yami had walked off too. He had moved off, picked up the phone, and was flipping through my families phone book.
"Yugi, the phone number for your school is 555-2655, right?" He asked.
"Yes," I said, "But Yami, I need to go to school. I can't be absent just because my back's a little stiff."
Yami didn't look at me. He just started pushing in my school's phone number on the number pad.
"Yami." I shot out. I didn't like how he was ignoring me.
However, instead of answering me, he just looked at me and put a finger to his lips, telling me to be quiet.
I pouted slightly, but was silent.
Yami smiled a little and then went back to the phone.
I could hear the school phone starting to ring though the line. So I just sat and watched Yami.
Then someone picked up, and Yami started talking.
"Yes, I'm calling on behalf of Yugi Motou." Yami said.
Even though I wasn't very close to the phone, I could still hear the lady answer on the other end. She always did talk really loud, especially at school.
"Oh yes," she said in a cheerful voice. "Such a nice little boy."
I bristled at that word. I was not little!
Yami looked at me out of the corner of his eyes and smiled.
"Yes, he is...sweet, isn't he?"
"Yes," the lady answered, "Now, what do you need dear."
"I wanted to tell you that he's not going to be coming in tomorrow, he's hurt his back."
"Oh, that's to bad." The lady said. "Well I hope he gets better."
"Don't worry," Yami said, "I'll take good care of him."
"Make sure you do. Oh, and before I forget to ask, has he said anything to you about what happened today?"
"Why? What happened?" Yami asked, his eyes slightly narrowing.
I sank down into the couch, but kept my head up to watch Yami. Oh no, I'm in trouble now.
"Well, I don't mean to be nosey or anything," the lady said, "but he seemed quite upset about something when he ran out the front doors of school today."
I tried to sink down farther.
"I see," Yami answered. "Well then I'll just have to coax him into telling me then."
"Alright, Goodbye."
"Yes, thank you.... Goodbye." Yami said, and he hung up the phone.
"Yugi." His eyes were locked onto me, his voice was slow, deep and, demanding. The only other time he had actually talked to me like that was when he had followed me to my house, snuck into my room through the opened window, and pinned me down, asking me if I had told anyone else about him.
I gulped and closed my eyes.
I knew that I had to tell him what happened at school today. However, I was so afraid. What would happen if I told him and he got mad at my friends? He might go after them! Also, what would my friends do? Joey and Tristan would fight back against Yami of coarse, and Tea might call the police or something! Oh man, I was in so much trouble.
So that's why... I was not going to tell Yami what happened at school today. I didn't care what he did to me.
"Yugi. You're not going to tell me, are you?" Yami asked.
I squeezed my eyes shut even tighter and shook my head.
However, Yami had other ideas, and other ways to get me to talk.
"Yugi?" he purred gently into my ear.
I opened my eyes and saw that his nose was mere inches from touching mine, and his body was completely parallel with mine as his legs had spilt and he leaned over me. However, that's not the only thing that I noticed. I could feel his cool breath as he breathed on my lips, I squeaked.
He was close, so very close, and I hadn't even heard him cross the room.
His dark eyes gazed into mine, his intent of getting his information almost all to clear.
My eyes widened slightly as I gulped again and slid backwards along the couch, getting out from underneath Yami, until my back hit the armrest.
Nevertheless, Yami wasn't going to let me get away that easily, I could see it his darkened eyes. I blinked, and his hand wrapped softly around my throat, before gently pinning me so that I was trapped.
My breathe quicken when he reached out and ran a strand of my bangs through his fingers, gently twisting it around his index finger, before placing his hand by my side.
"Shhh," he whispered soothingly to me as he got close to me again, "Hush Yugi. This won't take long."
He moved the hand that was resting around my throat down to my other side. I had no idea what he was going to do. His eyes held no emotion that I could see and before I could even react, I felt his hand starting to slip up my shirt.
I blinked. He had moved to quick for me to even to catch his movements.
Only my eyes moved as I looked down to see what he was doing. Yami was still watching me, his cool fingers wandering up my skin and making me tremble.
My body grew stiff as his fingers gently roamed up my skin. His touch was so light that it...-
Oh my God!
My body started to shake uncontrollably and when he smiled at me, I screamed.
He was TICKLING ME!!!
I wiggled around, trying to get free. However Yami wrapped his other arm around my waist, keeping me from escaping.
"No! Yami! Stop!" I giggled out between laughter.
"Tell me and I will young one."
Tears started to slipped out of my eyes. I couldn't take this. I had to tell him. I couldn't hold it in anymore, and before I had time to stop myself, I blurted my secret out.
"Today at school I met up with Joey, Tristan and Tea in the hallway." I explained, as Yami stopped tickling me and listened intently. I took deep breath to calm myself.
"They started asking questions about you and I knew that they'd try to hurt you if I gave them the answers." I said. I tried watching Yami to see his reaction, but his face was blank. So I swallowed before continuing.
"I didn't want you to get hurt so I didn't say anything. However, when I didn't my friends jumped to conclusions and thought that you had..."
I shut my eyes tightly, fearing Yami's reaction.
"Raped me!" I cried.
I gasped and my hands flung up to cover my mouth, as my eyes snapped open and became as big as dinner plates. I can't believe that I had just said that word!
I looked at Yami to see his reaction. He had risen up, to hover over me, and was staring into my eyes, this plank look on his face. Then, as I watched, the dark lavender of his narrowing eyes started to fade and was being replaced my bloodily crimson, while his fangs slowly came down to show themselves.
A deep growl slipped up his throat, so I wrapped my arms around his neck and pushed my body up against his to keep him from moving, for I knew that if he left my house he would go after my friends.
"No!" I cried as more tears fell and I dug my head into the hollow of his neck. "Yami please don't! If you what to punish someone then it's only fair that you punish me!" I screamed out before I knew what I was saying. I felt Yami's chest move slightly, although I wasn't sure why.
"Yugi," Yami said, his voice calm but firm. "Let go of me."
I quivered but slowly released him, making my body slip down onto the couch into a laying position. Yami pushed himself up with his hands so that he could look down at me. If he wanted to go hunt down my friends, then I would not be able to contain him. No matter how hard I tried. However, he had taken my words into thought.
He blinked as the dark lavender started to return to his eyes, and his hand came up as his index finger curled under my chin and made me look straight up into his eyes.
"If you want me to punish you Yugi, then I will." He purred as he leaned over me.
Yami had been like this before, I was sure of it. The way he was talking to me, his eyes being slightly darker then usual, and the way his was acting. Oh yes, he had been just like this when he had first stayed at my house and had awoken me in the night to steal my first gentle kiss. Only, when he had started to go to far and I begged for him to stop, it seemed that he snapped out of some kind of trance, and he had apologized right afterwards for frightening me. There was something wrong with him, like he was losing control of himself, and I was afraid of what would happen if he didn't stop himself.
His lips gently brushed against mine, while his hands ran smoothly down my neck.
However, about five seconds later I heard the sound of a button unsnapping, shortly followed by a second one, before the air from outside flooded into my shirt and touch my skin.
I knew why Yami was doing this. My hands clenched into fists as I tried to breathe evening through my nose. He was doing this because this was my punishment.
He knew I wasn't ready for this.
I closed my eyes and just decided, that if Yami wanted to take me, then I would let him. There was nothing I could do about it anyway.
*Yami's View*
~Go! Don't stop. Take him. TAKE HIM NOW!!!~ My instincts screamed at me.
I had almost lost complete control of myself, so when I unsnapped Yugi's shirt, I couldn't stop from wanting him.
I pried Yugi's lips apart and slipped my tongue into his opened mouth. Yugi moaned lightly and wrapped his arms around my neck.
His warm skin slid against mine, and my breathing quickened as I tried to quell the voice inside me, for it was driving me crazy.
~No. I-I don't want to hurt him!~
~Yes you do.~ My instincts argued with me. ~You want to break him, I can feel it.~
My mouth moved down to Yugi's neck, my fangs came down, and I have to fight not to bite him. I kept snapping my mouth closed as I kissed his skin.
~N-no. I-I will not!~ I protested.
~Yes you will. You can't ignore me Yami.~ My instincts demanded.
~SHUT UP!~ I yelled inwardly. ~JUST GO AWAY!~
I pulled my hands away from Yugi and dug my fingers into the couch, on ether sides of Yugi's body, to keep me from tearing my hair out. I felt the fabric stretch and pull in my grasp, and I was sure it was going to rip.
~Now you know I can't.~ My instincts mocked.
I picked up my head and pushed myself up, I was still leaning over Yugi though. His arms had released me a couple of minutes ago. My body began to shake and tremble. I couldn't win! I couldn't beat my instincts! I had failed before, and now I was to do it again.
~Yamiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,~ My instincts choused sweetly.
I shut my eyes tightly and tried to ignore them.
~ Now you know you can't win. Just give up and take sweet, innocent, naïve, pure, beautiful, little Yugi. You'll feel better after you have, trust me. ~
My shaking increased, and I couldn't help but start begging inside myself.
~ No. Please, please someone help me! ~
~Why do you even try Yami, ~ My instincts said, ~ No one care hear you, and no one can help you. ~
However, my instincts were wrong.
"Yami?" I heard Yugi say, worry filling his voice. "Yami, what's wrong with you?"
I snapped my eyes open and looked at him. Yugi's eyes were wide with worry and I froze as he wrapped his fingers into my shirt and pulled himself into a sitting position so he was eye level with me.
"I don't know what's going on," Yugi said, his innocent amethyst eyes searching mine. "But I want you to know that you're not alone. I'm here to help you fight... whatever is hurting you."
He then wrapped his arms around my shoulders, making it impossible for me to get away, and started to nuzzle the side of my neck with his soft lips.
My eyes popped wide open and I gulped. His neck was so close, and my senses were going crazy. I bit my lip and tried to keep from pushing him away.
Yugi had no idea how much danger he had put himself in.
"W-Why?" I asked.
Yugi rested his head on my shoulder and answered me. "Because you're my friend, and I care about you Yami,"
~ WHAT!!!! ~ My instincts yelled, shocked be on belief.
~ No, ~ they said, ~ No, this can't BE!!! ~
~ Well it is, ~ I answered as I smiled, ~ You were wrong, for that someone... is Yugi.~
My instincts snorted. ~ You know that I never will be truly gone, Yami. I will return, sooner then you think. ~
Then, they went silent.
They were finally silent.
I sighed in relief.
"Yami?" Yugi asked, staring up at me. "Are you alright?"
I smiled at him.
"Yes Yugi, I'm alright." I said, my eyes softening, "Thank you."
Yugi smiled brightly and let his arms wrap themselves around my neck. I then leaned down and kissed him. Slow, gentle, and very, very, softly, I was in complete control.
Thank you Yugi. If you hadn't done what you did, then we would both be dead. You from my fangs, and I from a broken heart.
I broke away slowly when Yugi started to take in a slow breathe of air through his mouth, and when I was far enough away, Yugi yawned cutely.
I smiled again and scooped him up into my arms.
"I think it's time to put you to bed, sweet one." I said softly, as I stood up, and started taking Yugi down to his room.
Yugi blinked tiredly and smiled at me, before sighing lightly and drifting off in my arms.
Such a sweet and precious little thing Yugi is.
I made it into his room, placed him tenderly on the bed, and made sure he was covered with his bed sheets, before sitting down on the windowsill.
I looked out the window into the darken sky for a minute. The wind had picked up slightly, and the moon disappeared behind a cloud. Tomorrow would be the dark, new moon.
I pulled my eyes away from the window and looked over at Yugi again.
A sinful smile slowly spread itself across my face, as my eyes grew dark.
Sweet, innocent, naïve, pure, beautiful, little Yugi, you are brave and wise beyond your years, and I can't wait to take you to my bed.
The only sounds that could be heard, was the soft wind outside, and the low dark laughter that was rising in my throat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
That's it for chapter 8. I am so sorry that I didn't get this stinking thing out earlier, but I just didn't had any time.
Yami: Yeah, right.
*I narrow my eyes at him.* Well it was your fault Yami.
Yami: Why was it my fault?
If you hadn't spent the whole time chasing me around, then I could have writen this chapter. But NOOOOOO. You said – 'Get back here so I can kill you!' and 'Even if you do get away, you'll never write another story has long as I'm alive.' Didn't you?
Yami: Umm... No, of coarse not. I would never get in the way of what the fans want. ^_^U
*sighs*
Oh, and to the readers: I know that this chapter isn't very fluffy, but don't worry. The next one will be fluff filled. So make sure to check back soon.
Yami: Really?
Yep.
Yami: ^_^
R & R please ^_^
Yami: (retied to the bed, mutters something)
What did you say pharaoh?
Yami: I said, 'I thought about what Adrienne-Lillian/plushies said in her review' and I've decided that she's right.
Oh. About what?
Yami: She was right about that I would have to write the end of the story if I killed you and I don't have time to write. I should duel, not write stories.
Hm. I guess your right.
Yami: So could you let me up now?
Not until you say it.
Yami: O.O NO! NO WAY!!!
Say it.
Yami: No.
Say it.
Yami: No.
Say it or I won't untie you.
Yami: (sighs) Alright. MoonlightDewz does not own Yu-Gi-Oh. How's that?
Very good. (Unties him slowly, making sure that he won't chase me)
Yami: (sits down but mutters something along the lines of "Must not kill.")
O_O Oooookay, lets get the chapter started before he changes his mind.

"Yes," the lady answered, "Now, what do you need dear."
"I wanted to tell you that he's not going to be coming in tomorrow, he's hurt his back."
"Oh, that's to bad." The lady said. "Well I hope he gets better."
"Don't worry," Yami said, "I'll take good care of him."
"Make sure you do. Oh, and before I forget to ask, has he said anything to you about what happened today?"
"Why? What happened?" Yami asked, his eyes slightly narrowing.
I sank down into the couch, but kept my head up to watch Yami. Oh no, I'm in trouble now.
"Well, I don't mean to be nosey or anything," the lady said, "but he seemed quite upset about something when he ran out the front doors of school today."
I tried to sink down farther.
"I see," Yami answered. "Well then I'll just have to coax him into telling me then."
"Alright, Goodbye."
"Yes, thank you.... Goodbye." Yami said, and he hung up the phone.
"Yugi." His eyes were locked onto me, his voice was slow, deep and, demanding. The only other time he had actually talked to me like that was when he had followed me to my house, snuck into my room through the opened window, and pinned me down, asking me if I had told anyone else about him.
I gulped and closed my eyes.
I knew that I had to tell him what happened at school today. However, I was so afraid. What would happen if I told him and he got mad at my friends? He might go after them! Also, what would my friends do? Joey and Tristan would fight back against Yami of coarse, and Tea might call the police or something! Oh man, I was in so much trouble.
So that's why... I was not going to tell Yami what happened at school today. I didn't care what he did to me.
"Yugi. You're not going to tell me, are you?" Yami asked.
I squeezed my eyes shut even tighter and shook my head.
However, Yami had other ideas, and other ways to get me to talk.
"Yugi?" he purred gently into my ear.
I opened my eyes and saw that his nose was mere inches from touching mine, and his body was completely parallel with mine as his legs had spilt and he leaned over me. However, that's not the only thing that I noticed. I could feel his cool breath as he breathed on my lips, I squeaked.
He was close, so very close, and I hadn't even heard him cross the room.
His dark eyes gazed into mine, his intent of getting his information almost all to clear.
My eyes widened slightly as I gulped again and slid backwards along the couch, getting out from underneath Yami, until my back hit the armrest.
Nevertheless, Yami wasn't going to let me get away that easily, I could see it his darkened eyes. I blinked, and his hand wrapped softly around my throat, before gently pinning me so that I was trapped.
My breathe quicken when he reached out and ran a strand of my bangs through his fingers, gently twisting it around his index finger, before placing his hand by my side.
"Shhh," he whispered soothingly to me as he got close to me again, "Hush Yugi. This won't take long."
He moved the hand that was resting around my throat down to my other side. I had no idea what he was going to do. His eyes held no emotion that I could see and before I could even react, I felt his hand starting to slip up my shirt.
I blinked. He had moved to quick for me to even to catch his movements.
Only my eyes moved as I looked down to see what he was doing. Yami was still watching me, his cool fingers wandering up my skin and making me tremble.
My body grew stiff as his fingers gently roamed up my skin. His touch was so light that it...-
Oh my God!
My body started to shake uncontrollably and when he smiled at me, I screamed.
He was TICKLING ME!!!
I wiggled around, trying to get free. However Yami wrapped his other arm around my waist, keeping me from escaping.
"No! Yami! Stop!" I giggled out between laughter.
"Tell me and I will young one."
Tears started to slipped out of my eyes. I couldn't take this. I had to tell him. I couldn't hold it in anymore, and before I had time to stop myself, I blurted my secret out.
"Today at school I met up with Joey, Tristan and Tea in the hallway." I explained, as Yami stopped tickling me and listened intently. I took deep breath to calm myself.
"They started asking questions about you and I knew that they'd try to hurt you if I gave them the answers." I said. I tried watching Yami to see his reaction, but his face was blank. So I swallowed before continuing.
"I didn't want you to get hurt so I didn't say anything. However, when I didn't my friends jumped to conclusions and thought that you had..."
I shut my eyes tightly, fearing Yami's reaction.
"Raped me!" I cried.
I gasped and my hands flung up to cover my mouth, as my eyes snapped open and became as big as dinner plates. I can't believe that I had just said that word!
I looked at Yami to see his reaction. He had risen up, to hover over me, and was staring into my eyes, this plank look on his face. Then, as I watched, the dark lavender of his narrowing eyes started to fade and was being replaced my bloodily crimson, while his fangs slowly came down to show themselves.
A deep growl slipped up his throat, so I wrapped my arms around his neck and pushed my body up against his to keep him from moving, for I knew that if he left my house he would go after my friends.
"No!" I cried as more tears fell and I dug my head into the hollow of his neck. "Yami please don't! If you what to punish someone then it's only fair that you punish me!" I screamed out before I knew what I was saying. I felt Yami's chest move slightly, although I wasn't sure why.
"Yugi," Yami said, his voice calm but firm. "Let go of me."
I quivered but slowly released him, making my body slip down onto the couch into a laying position. Yami pushed himself up with his hands so that he could look down at me. If he wanted to go hunt down my friends, then I would not be able to contain him. No matter how hard I tried. However, he had taken my words into thought.
He blinked as the dark lavender started to return to his eyes, and his hand came up as his index finger curled under my chin and made me look straight up into his eyes.
"If you want me to punish you Yugi, then I will." He purred as he leaned over me.
Yami had been like this before, I was sure of it. The way he was talking to me, his eyes being slightly darker then usual, and the way his was acting. Oh yes, he had been just like this when he had first stayed at my house and had awoken me in the night to steal my first gentle kiss. Only, when he had started to go to far and I begged for him to stop, it seemed that he snapped out of some kind of trance, and he had apologized right afterwards for frightening me. There was something wrong with him, like he was losing control of himself, and I was afraid of what would happen if he didn't stop himself.
His lips gently brushed against mine, while his hands ran smoothly down my neck.
However, about five seconds later I heard the sound of a button unsnapping, shortly followed by a second one, before the air from outside flooded into my shirt and touch my skin.
I knew why Yami was doing this. My hands clenched into fists as I tried to breathe evening through my nose. He was doing this because this was my punishment.
He knew I wasn't ready for this.
I closed my eyes and just decided, that if Yami wanted to take me, then I would let him. There was nothing I could do about it anyway.
*Yami's View*
~Go! Don't stop. Take him. TAKE HIM NOW!!!~ My instincts screamed at me.
I had almost lost complete control of myself, so when I unsnapped Yugi's shirt, I couldn't stop from wanting him.
I pried Yugi's lips apart and slipped my tongue into his opened mouth. Yugi moaned lightly and wrapped his arms around my neck.
His warm skin slid against mine, and my breathing quickened as I tried to quell the voice inside me, for it was driving me crazy.
~No. I-I don't want to hurt him!~
~Yes you do.~ My instincts argued with me. ~You want to break him, I can feel it.~
My mouth moved down to Yugi's neck, my fangs came down, and I have to fight not to bite him. I kept snapping my mouth closed as I kissed his skin.
~N-no. I-I will not!~ I protested.
~Yes you will. You can't ignore me Yami.~ My instincts demanded.
~SHUT UP!~ I yelled inwardly. ~JUST GO AWAY!~
I pulled my hands away from Yugi and dug my fingers into the couch, on ether sides of Yugi's body, to keep me from tearing my hair out. I felt the fabric stretch and pull in my grasp, and I was sure it was going to rip.
~Now you know I can't.~ My instincts mocked.
I picked up my head and pushed myself up, I was still leaning over Yugi though. His arms had released me a couple of minutes ago. My body began to shake and tremble. I couldn't win! I couldn't beat my instincts! I had failed before, and now I was to do it again.
~Yamiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,~ My instincts choused sweetly.
I shut my eyes tightly and tried to ignore them.
~ Now you know you can't win. Just give up and take sweet, innocent, naïve, pure, beautiful, little Yugi. You'll feel better after you have, trust me. ~
My shaking increased, and I couldn't help but start begging inside myself.
~ No. Please, please someone help me! ~
~Why do you even try Yami, ~ My instincts said, ~ No one care hear you, and no one can help you. ~
However, my instincts were wrong.
"Yami?" I heard Yugi say, worry filling his voice. "Yami, what's wrong with you?"
I snapped my eyes open and looked at him. Yugi's eyes were wide with worry and I froze as he wrapped his fingers into my shirt and pulled himself into a sitting position so he was eye level with me.
"I don't know what's going on," Yugi said, his innocent amethyst eyes searching mine. "But I want you to know that you're not alone. I'm here to help you fight... whatever is hurting you."
He then wrapped his arms around my shoulders, making it impossible for me to get away, and started to nuzzle the side of my neck with his soft lips.
My eyes popped wide open and I gulped. His neck was so close, and my senses were going crazy. I bit my lip and tried to keep from pushing him away.
Yugi had no idea how much danger he had put himself in.
"W-Why?" I asked.
Yugi rested his head on my shoulder and answered me. "Because you're my friend, and I care about you Yami,"
~ WHAT!!!! ~ My instincts yelled, shocked be on belief.
~ No, ~ they said, ~ No, this can't BE!!! ~
~ Well it is, ~ I answered as I smiled, ~ You were wrong, for that someone... is Yugi.~
My instincts snorted. ~ You know that I never will be truly gone, Yami. I will return, sooner then you think. ~
Then, they went silent.
They were finally silent.
I sighed in relief.
"Yami?" Yugi asked, staring up at me. "Are you alright?"
I smiled at him.
"Yes Yugi, I'm alright." I said, my eyes softening, "Thank you."
Yugi smiled brightly and let his arms wrap themselves around my neck. I then leaned down and kissed him. Slow, gentle, and very, very, softly, I was in complete control.
Thank you Yugi. If you hadn't done what you did, then we would both be dead. You from my fangs, and I from a broken heart.
I broke away slowly when Yugi started to take in a slow breathe of air through his mouth, and when I was far enough away, Yugi yawned cutely.
I smiled again and scooped him up into my arms.
"I think it's time to put you to bed, sweet one." I said softly, as I stood up, and started taking Yugi down to his room.
Yugi blinked tiredly and smiled at me, before sighing lightly and drifting off in my arms.
Such a sweet and precious little thing Yugi is.
I made it into his room, placed him tenderly on the bed, and made sure he was covered with his bed sheets, before sitting down on the windowsill.
I looked out the window into the darken sky for a minute. The wind had picked up slightly, and the moon disappeared behind a cloud. Tomorrow would be the dark, new moon.
I pulled my eyes away from the window and looked over at Yugi again.
A sinful smile slowly spread itself across my face, as my eyes grew dark.
Sweet, innocent, naïve, pure, beautiful, little Yugi, you are brave and wise beyond your years, and I can't wait to take you to my bed.
The only sounds that could be heard, was the soft wind outside, and the low dark laughter that was rising in my throat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
That's it for chapter 8. I am so sorry that I didn't get this stinking thing out earlier, but I just didn't had any time.
Yami: Yeah, right.
*I narrow my eyes at him.* Well it was your fault Yami.
Yami: Why was it my fault?
If you hadn't spent the whole time chasing me around, then I could have writen this chapter. But NOOOOOO. You said – 'Get back here so I can kill you!' and 'Even if you do get away, you'll never write another story has long as I'm alive.' Didn't you?
Yami: Umm... No, of coarse not. I would never get in the way of what the fans want. ^_^U
*sighs*
Oh, and to the readers: I know that this chapter isn't very fluffy, but don't worry. The next one will be fluff filled. So make sure to check back soon.
Yami: Really?
Yep.
Yami: ^_^
R & R please ^_^
