Me:I am finally back! Right after Christmas, I got loads of work to finish from school. *Sighs* Exams are not far, so I'm giving a heads up.

Yugi: HikariE.M will not be updating until February 4th. But will post another chapter on January 21st or January 28th.

Me: Thanks Yugi! Anyways, please enjoy the story! I don't not own anything except the storyline!

~Chapter Six~

Yugi tried his best not to lash out at anyone with his anger. They were at the dinner table with the councillors. He was burning with fury that he is being forced to get married with someone who lied to his face. Then Yami flashed in his mind. He has to do something to go back home. To his family, friends and most of all, Yami.

"You chosen a beautiful consort your highness!" said one of the councillors.

Kuro smiled, "Thank you. Though we still need to work on our relationship." He said as he ate.

'Work on our relationship? Not gonna happen.' Yugi thought. He sat there, staring at the food.

Kuro frowned at this. He put a hand over Yugi's.

"The food not to your liking?" he asks.

"I don't feel well to eat. If you'll excuse me. I think I'd like to rest." Yugi replies.

He stood up from the chair, bowed to the others in respect and left the room. The councillors had confused faces, but then thought the consort was simply tired.

Yugi growled. He could've used his powers that Yami gave if it weren't for Kuro using a weird spell to block them. He could use some of them, but not very strong. He plopped onto the bed. Thinking about Yami and the others.

Atem sighed and finally sat down. The whole place was torn apart from the wolves. He looked over to see his boyfriend healing an injured Yami.

"We should call Seto..." said Atem.

"Yeah, I'll call him to get us, since we can barely get up." replied his brother.

Yami pulled out a phone and dialled Seto's number. He waited for the other line to connect.

"Hello?" said Seto.

"Hey, Seto." replied Yami.

"Why do you sound like your dying?"

"Well...we need you to come pick us up. We'll explain the whole situation to you."

"Alright, but you better explain every detail."

"Yes, sir."

Seto hanged up.

"Well. He's coming to pick us up." Yami told them.

"Heba, you might to make an illusion for this messed up place." Atem suggested as he looked around. Blood, scratch marks and broken furniture.

"Atem, may I remind you I can use shadow magic yet? Only summoning weapons and healing." replied Heba.

Atem groaned, "Right, then I'll do it." He stood up and created an illusion that looked like the place was robbed or anything.

Few minutes later, the doorbell rang. Yami stood up, grunting as his body was sore. He went to the door with the two following behind him. Yami opened the door and stepped out, facing Seto.

Seto looked at the bruises and injuries covering their bodies. He ushered them into a car. He told the driver to head back to their place.

"So, what happened?" asked Seto.

"Yugi was kidnapped by Kuro." Yami replied.

Seto frowned, "I knew something was suspicious about him." he mumbled. Seto looked over to Atem and Heba.

"So, your reason?"

"We came to look after Yugi. Since a certain someone broke him into tiny little glass shards and broke him apart." Heba replied to Seto with venom spitting every word.

"I understand that. Since Yami here is very foolish and acts like a selfish person."

Yami winced.

"I didn't mean-" Yami was then cut off.

Atem stood up and looked at Yami.

"I know I might've said this. But Yami, you are the ONE to LOOK after YUGI." he pointed out.

Yami let his head drop and stare at the floor.

"I'm not a great person. I hurt Yugi multiple times and I don't want to anymore. Can we at least move on a bit and focus on saving Yugi?" He pleaded.

"As long as you promise to not hurt him again after we gain him back. Also I still won't forgive you yet. That is until you show me that you actually CARE and LOVE my brother." Heba told him.

Yami nodded and swears on his life that he will not hurt Yugi every again.

"Ok, so who is Kuro?" asks Seto.

"Kuro is the upcoming King of the vampire race. He's a rival of Yami. Back in Ancient Eygpt, he tried to win over the throne and Yugi. But the plan was backfired when Yugi and Yami sealed him away. But after years later, the seal broke cause of the hurt that Yugi received." Heba explained.

"Hm...do know where he is now?"

"I have a hunch and I might be right."

"Where is he?"

"The Valley of the Night"

"Valley of the night?"

"It's a hidden place where vampires and other entities reside in. The only way to get in there is through a portal." Atem quickly explained.

"Can't you guys summon the portal?" Seto asks.

They all shook their heads.

"Only Kuro and other higher beings can summon the portal."

Seto thought for awhile and something clicked in his head.

"If Kuro was able to appear here. Wouldn't the item that he was sealed in have something we could use to open a portal?"

"You might be right." Heba said with surprised eyes. He turned to Yami.

"Yami, do you know where Yugi would hid important stuff?"

"I'm pretty sure in his room with a hidden safe in his closet or in the attic." Replied Yami.

"Alrigh, let's go then!"

Everyone got and started to walk out the room.

'Yugi please be safe.' Yami thought.

Yugi gasped for air as he was being chocked by Kuro. He struggled to get the other off him.

"Yugi, stop refusing and let me drink." said Kuro.

Yugi glared at the vampire man.

"Never!" he yelled.

Kuro growled and pinned Yugi down on the bed.

"You will gain nothing, even if you force me!" Yugi shouted and ripped free from the grip. He stood up and ran to the bathroom. Before he shut the door and locked it, he shouted something else.

"Go suck someone else's blood!"

Kuro sighed and slow led got off the bed. All he wanted is to be with his consort. But Yugi was making things more complicated. He will have to using force, even it means to control him. He walked out the room with a chuckled.

Me: Well, I'm just questioning myself. How did this story come out like this?

Yugi: Maybe you just blindly typed this without looking at the screen.

Me: Maybe. Anyways, everyone please keep track for the updates. Feel free to give suggestions in the comments. I apologize for any grammar mistakes.

Yugi: Thank you for reading! Please R&R! Until next time!
