I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh !

HE: the mysterious man/demon.

"A game? I wanna play. What do I have to do? Are we going to solve a puzzle or so? Or play tag?"

Yuugi's eyes shone with glee.

HE shifted closer.

"No, no such thing. And you don't have to do much. Just…tilt your head back. Like this."

He pushed the boy's head to the side.

"Okay…What now?"

"Look to the three."

The boy did so.

"This might feel strange."

A nod.

"What are the rules of the game?"

Silence. Then...

"Yuugi?"

"Mhm?"

"I'm sorry."

Yuugi's eyes filled with confusion and he was about to turn his head when the other bit down, and drank his blood.

Finally...

Heaven. Ambrosia. Sweet, but not too sweet. Just perfect.

Yuugi cried out, paralysed at first, but then he started to struggle. The other didn't let him go and Yuugi felt his strength leave him. He cried.

"Why?"

The other had to strain to hear him. He took the last bit and laid the boy on the ground.

"Because those with a good heart always go first. Innocence always goes first."

His tone was emotionless.

"You aren't nice…"

Yuugi lost consciousness.

The other sighed and healed the boy's wound.

"Sleep. One day, we'll meet again."

He disappeared.

Yuugi was found two hours later by people from the village. He was brought to a hospital in the city. The only thing the doctors could say was that the boy suffered from severe blood loss; The how could not be explained. Yuugi didn't wake up for two days. When he finally did, the boy was scared of every move, and afraid of the dark.

3 years later

Eleven year old Yuugi Muoto ran home from school, trying to outrun his bullies.

Someone once told him that life sucked.

It did.

And he swore to himself, just as he did every day, that he would kill the person who spoke those words.

Red eyes followed the boy, following his every movement and reading his every thought, just as he did the past 3 years.

How he loved this human.

He was already looking forward to the confrontation.
