I hope my faithful readers enjoy this update.

Yugi: Everyone is definitely getting a treat with all the updates you're doing.

I just hope you'll forgive me for this chapter.

Yugi: Why?

I can't say other than that I'm really sorry, Yugi.

Yugi and Malik had to tell Sam he only had to pay them twenty each so they didn't drain his limited finances. The Hunter was relieved to hear that bit of news as Dean wouldn't let him live it down that he'd lost eighty bucks on a bet against him. The angelic vampires had learned that the five students would be heading back to Hogwarts to finish out their vacation as they had to figure out where Ryou was and rescue him.

"Now that dinner's over and everyone's had a decent dessert, I believe it's time for five students to head to their rooms," Atem announced. "You have an early day as your headmaster will be here about eight tomorrow morning to collect you."

Harry was confused, "Why are going back to Hogwarts when we're still on vacation?"

"We can't leave five children unattended while we try to locate and rescue Ryou," Atem stated firmly.

"Isis and Mahaad can watch us," Ron argued. "That's their job anyways."

Mahaad shook his head, "We've handed in our requests to end our duties to the School as its Protectors. Isis and I had been under contract so long as we had no other ties outside of its walls. Now that we've found our friends and family, we would like to assist in the recovery of the young one."

"But we need you," Ron argued.

Isis stood up, "You three have managed time and again to find yourselves in dangers and out again without our guidance. You've even managed to drag Serenity and Mokuba into your last little adventure. We will occasionally provide assistance to your school when we can. Until then, we want you to try and stay out of trouble."

With that said, Atem ordered everyone under fifteen to bed. Malik and Yugi were confused. "Does that mean Human years alone or Supernatural years as well," Yugi asked innocently.

Atem smirked, "Both. You and Malik have put in a long day and need your sleep."

"Wait," Hermione started, "how old are they exactly, if you don't mind my asking?"

"It's no problem," Malik began.

Yugi finished, "We're technically twenty-seven in Human years, eleven in Vampire years, and forever frozen at sixteen. By all rights, Yami has the authority to order us to bed."

"But you're twenty-seven," Ron pointed out.

Malik snorted, "Our 'normal' years no longer apply as we can't age anymore. If Yugi's brother tells us to go to bed, we do it without question! We can no longer hope to do things that other twenty-seven-year-olds can without problems. If we wanted to drink alcoholic beverages, we can't as laws prohibit the sale of such items to those who crossed the fine line between being human or Supernatural at a young age."

"Why is that," Ron pressed.

"Imagine giving a child wine," Yugi started. "They either get drunk easily, sick, or end up with alcohol poisoning. Supernaturals who were Turned under twenty-one years of age and stop, or slow, their aging aren't permitted to purchase or consume alcoholic drinks. Weres, Sprites, and Elves tend to have a slower aging than Humans while Vampires don't age past the point of Turning."

"Oh."

Atem cleared his throat, "You seven need to go to bed now. Yugi, I had a bed set up in your sanctuary for you."

"Thanks Yami, but I thought I'd sleep on the cat tower tonight."

"Which one?"

"My room," Yugi yawned. "That one's more comfortable than the one in my other room. I like the larger compartment and have a small blanket stuffed in there."

Bobby looked up at Yugi, "I can sleep in a different room so you can have your bed back."

"I don't mind you having my bed," Yugi replied. He tried not to yawn again, but failed, "I tend to sleep better when I'm a cat anyways. I like small spaces and my tower is pretty comfy."

Bobby looked into the cat tower in his borrowed room and saw the small form of his newly-adopted son curled up in the larger of the four compartments with a light gray fleece blanket under him. The Mau had balled up a corner of the fleece under his head like a pillow. Yugi looked so peaceful as he slept on, unaware that he was being watched. Bobby smiled as he headed to Yugi's bed and lay down.

The old Hunter was glad that he'd found the twin brother of his first son and accepted the boy into his family. He couldn't help but smirk at the thought of three young Supernaturals cracking the hardened heart of one John Winchester. The only thing that Bobby dreaded was the thought of his two boys winding up like John's boys. He'd seen Dean lose his temper at the thought of losing his baby brother in one way or another. The male had thrown a few punches whenever someone, or something, threatened or hurt Sam.

Bobby sighed as he realized that Yugi had not only his brother, but the five other Supernaturals and the rest of the team to protect him.

Around midnight, Bobby awoke to a noise inside the room. Turning on the light, he spotted Yugi clawing at the door. The cat turned its head as soon as the light came on and mewed before pawing at the door again. Bobby got out of bed, "What's with you boy?"

Yugi ignored the question and continued pawing at the door. The Hunter sighed as he gave in and opened the door. Yugi darted out into the hall and around the corner. The cat appeared to be chasing something as he raced down the hall towards the stairs. Bobby followed the feline knocking on Atem's door as he passed.

Atem opened the door to see his father headed down the stairs quickly. Feeling that something was off, he followed. By the time he caught up to his dad, he realized why the older Hunter was in a hurry. Yugi looked up at the two of them with the body of a dead white mouse dangling from his mouth. The cat shook the rodent before dropping it and taking a defensive stance over it.

"That is just gross, Yugi," Atem whined as he and Bobby watched the Hikari tear into the flesh of the creature. The two left the feline Hikari alone to try and get the image of the Supernatural eating the mouse out of their heads.

Ten minutes later, Yugi approached Atem and tried to rub on the male's leg. Atem had seen his brother and dodged the affectionate cat. Yugi fell over and curled up, instantly falling asleep.

Atemu, being the last one to bed, had to pass the den. The Daywalker saw the two Hunters and the small Hikari on his way past. "Why are you up at this hour," he asked.

"Yugi was hunting a mouse," Atem stated, trying not to get sick at the thought of his brother eating a rodent.

"Did he catch it," Atemu asked. "I've been trying to catch a pure white one for a couple of weeks."

Bobby gagged, "What?"

"It's completely normal for a vampire with the ability to Shift to take on the instincts of their Spirit Animal when in a deep sleep after experiencing a traumatic event. I must admit that I'm surprised that Malik's not had an event like this."

Atem was lost in thought for a moment. "I think I know why. Cats tend to hunt more at night and raptors hunt more during the day. Malik never really takes naps and lately Yugi's been taking a sleep aid to help with nightmares."

"The question is, will he remember this little event," Bobby asked.

"Hopefully no," Atemu stated. "Especially if this is his first time Sleep-Hunting."

Yugi: I...ate...a...mouse!? YUCK!

Sorry, I didn't think as I typed up the chapter.

Malik: We hope everyone enjoyed this update...even though it was gross!

Ryou: *Trying not to let the chapter affect him* Last on the updates is 'Haunted'.

Yugi: *GAGS* Until...Next...Time... *Runs* I'm out of here!
