Phoenix: Okay. I am making sure that we're finishing this chapter on this very day that Yugi meets Yami and Kaiser. These chapters are too short and I don't like dragging this out. We need to write about the next day. –grits her teeth- And holy Ra! 1,028 people viewed this story. Aww. I feel so loved! And we're sorry if you've viewed this before. I'd just noticed some mistakes, so I went back to change it, but I had to delete it. Gomen! We're so sorry!
Takara: Let's get the show on the road!
Disclaimer Demon: Look back on the previous chapters. They don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.
Takara: And some of the characters in Yu-Gi-Oh won't look exactly like what they originally looked like since we don't have enough information. Take for instance: Yugi's teacher. We only know that he's male and a teacher. We don't even know his name, so we'll make up one for him...perhaps...
Phoenix: We're not sure whether this is going to be under the rating of T or M. I'm leaning towards M because we're going to include lemon or lime scenes, (graphic) violence, and cuss words. Is that even allowed under rated T? We've tried to look for preferences, but they're all...different.
Archangel of the Vampires: Whoa! Long review, don't you think so too? No offense and all, but this has gotta be the longest review that we had received that was in a full paragraph. And we don't mind at all. It's true that we tried to include humor so that our viewers won't get easily bored, but humor isn't exactly our best talent. We know that they seem to be out of character (OOC), but I think that the Yamis are much better this way. And gosh...thank you. You didn't need to write all that, but...wahh! You're too kind! We will write new stories since you won the kuribun, and for being so kind to us.
FanFicFanGurl101: I must admit, we don't have any clue what you're talking about. What's too short about our last chapter? If you mean the chapter length, we did promise you that we will try to make it pass out goal-limit of 2,000 words per chapter, starting with this one. We're only 300 words behind before it reaches its goal. Kuso! This is so not fair! Ra damn it! We're glad that you are a loyal reviewer to this fic, so we want to pay you back (not money, mind you). Do you want anything for us to see to that you want granted? It's just like a kuribun, only you aren't competing. We're only doing this out of kindness and so. Like, if you would like to be included in this fic, if we could update faster (that one will take a lot of work getting used to), writing a story that you would like to see done, making a sequel, or any that you want. Those are only examples. Wow. You submitted a shorter review than Archangel of the Vampires, but yet, our response back to you is longer. Just...wow!
Angel's Charm: Err, thanks? Here is the next chapter. And not really. The plot is actually starting right now. I'm just twisting the story plot a bit more since it comes out all unexpected in every chapter. And the same wishing thing-y applies for you, too! Consider this as your early Christmas gift.

Demons of the Night
Chapter 5
---------
"Ohayo Kaiser-kun!" Yugi chirped back. He beamed brightly at the pale man before him.
"Please. Just Kaiser is fine." The dark-haired man chuckled and leaned against the door. Yami's head popped out of nowhere behind Kaiser and searched for Yugi with an unnerved expression on his tanned face.
Yugi, who still hadn't noticed Yami, stared perplexed at Kaiser. "But isn't that only what lovers call one another? Without the suffixes?" he cocked his head adorably at Kaiser.
Bemused, Kaiser responded back. "Hai, but didn't Yami request that you call him by his first name only? Hmm? Wouldn't that make you two lovers?" he scanned the people crowded around Yugi. His ruby gaze lingered at Chaise longer than others before moving on. 'That human reminds me of someone. Have I met him before?'
Yugi's pale face flushed darkly until it was a sickly hue of pink while Yami was sputtering out "prove it" to Kaiser.
Jou, Ryou, Honda, and Chaise just stared mystified at the three people. 'Man, blushing really isn't healthy for you. Yugi must have a blushing-disease.'
"I believe we wasted enough time idling with one another, so let's get a move on" Kaiser drawled as he stepped back, bumping into Yami. Kaiser hissed lightly from the slightly stinging pain.

Flashback
---------
"Oh. Mr. Yikana and Mr. Hyoku...please stay after school today to further discuss your studies so that you won't fall behind your peers." The teacher announced; his muddy brown eyes sparkling. Utmost to him, nearly every single student had left the dull baby blue classroom except the two transferred scholars.
Yami and Kaiser shot a glare at their teacher that could have frozen hell. "Well pardon me O' mighty teacher of the West," they snapped. Kaiser and Yami strolled across the classroom wooden desks and plastic chairs as they made their way to their sensei.
Yami took a deep breath before continuing. "If you at least have the respect for your newly-transferred students, may I be allowed at least a minute to depart from here? I have some...loose ends to tie up."
After seeing the teacher nod, he sped away as fast as a cheetah to catch up with his new...interest. Both the teacher and his acquaintance stared back at Yami's retreating form and shook their heads.
Kaiser glanced at the teacher. "Well, go on. What was it that you wanted?"
The professor frowned at Kaiser's rudeness for not addressing him as his sensei; he decided to ignore it. "You!" he cried with a defiant roar as one of his slightly tanned hand clasped around Kaiser's pale neck. The professor smirked as the other slender hand tore off his face, only to have another face feature appear.
His black aura had glowed into a hue of orange as his once hazel pupils had altered into feline-like amber eyes as bright as the sun. His pearly white canines grew in length until and sharpness until it was sharp enough to penetrate steel, and nine ocher-colored tails, resembling the rare nine-tail fox, appeared below his upper body. He squeezed Kaiser's pale throat harder together, his nails digging into Kaiser's neck.
"You're...a...nine-tail kitsune! It's...not...possible for...you to...exist...Your race disappeared...eons ago" Kaiser gasped, taking deep gulps of air as he managed to choke out the three sentences.
The kitsune made a clucking noise with his darting tongue. "True. My race of the Kitsunes did disappear, but I'm the only sole survivor. And when I'm done with you, I'll go after your little friend, too. After all, I need some rich flesh to feed on." The kitsune chuckled. "And since you're about to die anyway, I'll tell you my name." He leaned his head over and started to nibble on Kaiser's earlobe. "The name's Yinaku. Chaise Yinaku." He purred.
The hand that wasn't occupied started to travel down until it reached the end of Kaiser's school uniform, and slid underneath the cloth until it made contact with skin. Chaise's hand started to circle Kaiser's pale skin in a teasing motion until bruises appeared. "Didn't you want this? After all," he whispered in Kaiser's ear. "I was your mate. Right, Kaiser-sama?"
Kaiser immediately stiffened. Snarling, he tore his body away from Chaise. "You're not my mate!" he growled. "He died during the war between the Gods and the Demons of the Night. You're not him! Although you bear the same face as him, I will not be fooled that easily." A long sword engraved with ancient Atlantis symbols appeared in Kaiser's hands.
The kitsune backed away slowly. "Whoa. Hold up there, Kaiser-sama. You aren't going to kill your mate here, are you?"
"You are not my mate!"
Chaise dodged the fatal swing that could have pierced his heart. A portal entirely made out of shadows appeared behind the sinister kitsune. "Ja ne, Kaiser-sama. Look forward to our reunion later into the future." He whispered as he disappeared.
Yami burst through the door. "What's going on!" he cried. His crimson gaze found a dazed and bruised Kaiser, trembling, and clutching his signature sword in an iron-grip. "Kaiser!" Yami sprinted toward his companion. He started shaking Kaiser's shoulders in order to jolt him out of his daze.
"Nani? Hey! Stop shaking me; you're giving me a mind-numbing migraine." Kaiser groaned as he woke up from his trance. He blinked at Yami. "Ano, when did you get here?"
Yami fell to the floor with his legs sticking up. "You BAKA!" he yelled once he had pushed himself up. "Why were you holding your sword, in the middle of a HUMAN CLASSROOM where HUMANS can see who you REALLY are and HOW IN RA'S NAME DID YOU GET HURT?"
Kaiser blinked. "What happened to me is my own business. You don't have to worry about anything besides mating with your potential koibito." He murmured. "And why are you here? Aren't you supposed to make amends with Yugi-san?"
"Amends? What amends? All I wanted to say to him was if he wanted to come by our house today?"
An uncomfortable silence washed away Kaiser's confusion. "Nani! You...you...baka! What in the afterlife happened to possess you to ask Yugi-san to come over to our home? Do you have any idea what could happen while he's staying over there? Do you even have a mind?" Kaiser shouted angrily and proceeded to shake Yami's brains out.
Yami's crimson eyes were becoming hazy. "Yes. I do have a mind and an idea. Relax. All I said was that he could bring his friends over if he so happened to agree to come over to our address. Now, stop shaking me!" he kicked Kaiser in the shins.
"Itai. Baka pharaoh...die." Kaiser started to chase Yami out of the classroom and swung his gleaming silver sword at him. "When we get home, I swear I'm going to kill you! You...you...baka!"
After the two students have left, the classroom closet door swung open with a creaking sound, revealing the torn flesh of the real sensei. Scarlet blood oozed out from the mahogany wooden closet and onto the beige marble floor.

End flashback

"You okay?" Ryou asked the wincing man. "Do you need some help?"
Yami glanced over to the lean albino boy. "Iie. He just got hurt on our way back home. Kaiser just got insulted and bumped by a bully, and he beat that guy up. Unfortunately, Kaiser had a few presents lying in wait for him. All he got was a few bruises and scratches. It's nothing really harmful, actually." He lied smoothly.
"Oh" Ryou frowned. "Well, I hope he's alright."
"Don't worry!" Jou draped his arm around Ryou's shoulders. "If Yami says he's alright, then he's alright." He merrily chirped and skipped his way along through the entry with Ryou in tow.
The rest of the high school students sweatdropped. Yami and Kaiser turned to look at Yugi with confusion lurking in their eyes.
Yugi just gave them an innocent look before whispering, "Jou devoured too many sweets. He'll calm down sooner or later."
Kaiser slapped his forehead and groaned. "I knew this was a bad idea from the beginning," he moaned. He turned to glare at Yami. "You owe me, big time!"
"Ano, iie? The baka tomb robber can pay you back whatever that's going to get damaged. He can pay you much more than what I have."
"He already paid the previous damage that you inflicted, and no. Priest-sempai can't afford for the next damage that you've caused. Sure, he's wealthy and all, but he has paid enough money to buy us..." Kaiser paused and started to count his fingers. "Enough money to buy us sixty-one mansions and forty-six successful companies all rolled into one with some money left over."
Yugi and Chaise gave Kaiser a quizzical look. They just shook their heads and continued their way into Kaiser's and Yami's home as they were about to.
--------
A figure clothed in shadows, along with three others, stepped into the light.
"It's time." The tallest figure whispered as he spread his leathery bat-like wings into their flying-motion.
The one with sandy blond hair sticking up like a lotus flower nodded as he shifted into his jackal-like form. Another albino boy with sharper features than Ryou smiled grimly as he altered his human form into those of a snow-furred sphinx. The girl with cat-like features stood next to the sphinx, her amethyst eyes darting with barely-contained excitement.
"Let's go!"

Phoenix: Eh heh heh heh. Gomen! Sorry for the late update. I was busy wrapping presents for my family and friends for Christmas. And drat! I couldn't include the rest of the day on what they were doing. Kaiser's flashback took up too much space. Kuso!
Takara: This was a better cliffhanger than the one that's going to be in the next chapter, so we didn't include the rest of the day. Sorry about that. I think this passed the 2,000 word-limit...I hope. See you in the next chapter!
Phoenix: Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! You should check out "Winter Love" by BoA! Here are the lyrics:
