The Royal Blood
Chapter 3
Time Passes.
It's been 16 years since that moment that Yugi's Dad make the deal with Yami. Every year since then when Mark had to meet with the vampires he tried to convince them to take money or something else, but all they wanted was Yugi. His request cost him a broken leg, which he explained as a simple accident of falling down the stairs. He never told Rose what he did to save Yugi's life. It was a closely secret kept between Solomon and himself.
Today was the day of Yugi's birthday and to him it was just a regular day. He was going off to school to meet his friends: Ryou, Joey and Malik. Yugi's life was perfect; he had good loyal friends and a loving family. He would not change it for anything in the world.
That morning he woke up with a smile on his face. It was unexplainable, but in his heart he knew that something special was going to happen today, although he had no idea what it could possibly be. Yugi got himself ready for school and made his way downstairs for breakfast. His Mother had just finished putting Yugi's favorite birthday breakfast food on the table. Mark on the other hand was pacing back and forth, when Rose asked him what was wrong he was silent in reply.
"Hi Mom, Hi Dad," Yugi said, a loving smile adorning his face.
"Happy birthday my baby!" Rose exclaimed.
"Happy birthday son," Mark added with a sad smile.
Breakfast passed quickly and before he knew it Yugi was almost out the door before his Father stopped him. "My son, when you get home from school today I have something very important to tell you and you Mother," he said, his voice full of worry. Yugi and his Mother were both confused, but merely nodded in response.
Yugi ran to school with a huge smile still plastered to his face. All throughout the day he felt as though someone was watching him, it was a familiar feeling which he had learned to shrug off and ignore. When it came time for school to finish Yugi walked home with Ryou, Malik and Joey for his annual birthday party which would be thrown for him.
When he finally reached home, instead of the warm greeting he was expecting he saw his Grandpa and a lot of strange people staring in their direction. What shocked Yugi the most was the boy who looked a lot like himself, only taller, stronger look and with crimson colored eyes.
"Alright, here is the birthday boy, now please hurry up because I want to leave," said one of the strangers. This particular stranger had brown hair and icy blue eyes.
"I agree with Seto. Let's just get this over with, it's almost time for dinner and I am hungry damn it!" said another one of the strangers. This stranger had white hair and brown eyes like Ryou.
"Seto, be more patient! And you Bakura, hold you damn appetite! I want to get out of here as much as you do but you do not see me complaining!" said a third stranger with hair a sandy colour like Malik's.
"You are already complaining you Ass! I swear Marik you are such an idiot," the one called Bakura yelled at Marik.
"All of you boys shut up or none of you are getting anything for dinner tonight!" yelled a different stranger.
"Fine Aknadin," Marik and Bakura said at the same time. Seto looked at his Father with an apologetic smile. The group of stranger then stood there in silence, gazing at one another. Now Yugi had learnt all of their names except for the tallest of them and the boy who looked so much like him. Yugi's gaze slowly drifted to his doppelganger and their eyes locked for a second. Somehow Yugi had this strange feeling that he had seen those same eyes somewhere before, but he had no idea where that feeling came from. His thoughts were cut by the tallest of the strangers.
"So should you tell your boy or should I tell him for you?" said the stranger.
"No, I will tell him Aknamkanon," said mark with a sad tone.
"Yugi and friends, please come inside and sit down," Solomon said, his voice also filled with sadness. Slowly the group entered the house and took a seat on the sofa, Yugi looked as confused as ever but Joey for some reason decided to glare at the stranger called Seto.
When everyone was settled in Mark began his tale. He explained everything that had happened the night that Yugi nearly lost his life. He also explained that the stranger who looked so much like Yugi was a vampire and that he had been the one to save his sons life. Mark mentioned the deal that had been struck in order to save Yugi lastly.
Everyone thought that Mark's story was a joke until the strangers showed them their sharp fangs and their wings. The occupants of the room were all in shock, but soon Rose stood up from her chair and headed towards Mark with tears streaming down her face.
"Please tell me that you did not do that Mark!" Rose said through her falling tears. Mark could only lower his head in a shameful manner. This made Rose fall to her feet crying uncontrollably, much like she had the day that Yugi had almost died.
Yugi couldn't believe what he was hearing. His father made I deal with a vampire? And now he had to go with him, like he was some kind of property or a trophy? Yugi didn't know if he should cry or yell so he did both.
"Dad how could you do that!" Yugi yelled with tears running down his face.
"Yugi, you have to understand that your Father did what was necessary for you to live!" Solomon said trying to defend Mark actions.
"For what Grandpa? So now I have to go with some vampire and be a slave for the rest of my days! So far as I see it he should have just let me die!" Yugi yelled.
A loud slap could be heard echoing throughout the entire room. Yugi was now holding his hand to his stinging cheek where his Father had just slapped him. After slapping Yugi Makr was overcome with remorse and threw his arms around his son, holding him tightly.
"I am so very sorry my son. I know that I must be a selfish person for wanting you to live, but I am a selfish Father who would do anything to see his son alive," Mark said, his voice shaking though his tears. Yugi couldn't help but cry harder and cling tightly to his Father.
Yami could only watch the family as they clung together, feeling remorse at what he was doing, but he knew that it needed to be done. Yugi needed to go with him and become his mate, it was their final chance at happiness and he was not going to waste it.
"We need to go now Father," Yami said in a low cvoice. His Father just nodded and started walking towards the door with Marik, Seto, Bakura and Aknadin following closely behind him.
Yami moved towards the family be was about to tear apart, "it is time to go little one," he said. He grabbed onto Yugi's arm and dragged him away from his family and towards the door.
"No! Wait! If Yugi foes then so do I!" Joey said standing up from his seat, a look of determination etched onto his face.
"Us too!" Ryou and Malik both said at the same time standing next to Joey. Yugi was shocked at their words but he was also happy that he had some loyal friends. The vampires began to stare at one another and talked through their mind link.
/ Well what do you think about this brother?/ Aknadin asked
/I don't know, maybe it is not a good idea to bring so many humans with us/ Aknamkanon replied.
/ Hey if Yami can have his mate what about us? Doesn't it sound unfair that Yami has a mate and not us? / said bakura.
/ Bakura, you know our motives for doing this! And you also know that my son will kill us if we ruin his chances with Yugi/ Aknamkanon said.
/ Look Uncle, I know my cousin and I know he would defiantly kill us but we promise to behave and not let this interfere with his plans. That way Yami wins and I can have that blond puppy/ said Seto.
/ Yeah and that way we can have our look alike with us they seem loyal and very innocent so we all win/ said marik
/ Well, what do you think about this Yami?/ said Aknamkanon.
/ Well, it seems fair, but I swear to Ra if any of you ruined my chances with Yugi I will kill you/ said Yami throwing a powerful feeling of power and range over the mind link to prove his point.
/ Well it is settled then you guys can have your mates/ Aknamkanonn said.
It had been silent for a good five minutes and with the vampires silently communicating with one another.
"Fine, you can come with him, but you each have to serve your own vampire Masters and will be loyal to them and to this clan
It has been silent like for 5 minutes and everyone was just looking at each other especially the vampires that were just looking more like in a trance with each other but soon all the vampires smirk. "Fine you can come with him but you have to serve your own vampire masters and are loyal to them and to this clan but I warned you will never see your family again and your life will never be the same," Aknamkanon said with a strong and serious voice.
Yugi's friends looked at each other and nodded apprehensively.
"Very well, you humans may come with us," Aknamkanon said while he started walking towards the exit.
Rose and Mark moved to the door to stop him before he could leave. "Please do not take my son away, please!" Rose cried. She threw herself at Aknamkanon with a pleading face and a broken heart.
Aknamkanon just looked away and gently pushed her aside in response. But before he even began to move he was stopped by Mark.
"There must be something you want. Anything at all, just say it and it will be yours. Please do not take my son away," Mark pleaded.
Aknamkanon was getting thoroughly annoyed with their pleading, he had given them their answer and it was not going to change. He was finally going to move again but he saw Mark with his arms stretched out in front of the door like he was not going to let him pass. Yugi was horrified because somehow he could sense the anger of Aknamkanon and he was sure he would kill his parents if they kept this up and the last thing he wanted was for his family to die.
Yugi cast his eyes over to Yami with a pleading look, all but begging him to interfere. Yami was trying really hard to resist Yugi's silent plea, but he finally gave in, "Father calm down, I will not have you killing Yugis parents! Mark I promise you that your son is in safe hands and he will be fine," Yami said in a serious and sincere tone.
Aknamkanon tried to calm down and he finally decided to use his supernatural speed to get out and not harm anyone. The other vampires did the same thing, but each of them grabbed the hands of the humans they had selected dragging them outside.
The stars were shining brightly and the night was cold, the perfect conditions for being with a vampire.
Soon all of the vampire unfurled their wings and looked up at the sky with a smile. Seto had Joey by the waist and Marik and Bakura did the same with the two humans they had claimed. Aknanin was the first to fly off to the sky, waiting up there for his leader and the other vampires. Soon Seto, Bakura and Marik joined them up in the sky with the humans.
Yami was still watching Yugi and saw that he still had the same sad look that could break his heart well… if he had a heart because being a vampire you really don't have one but that isn't the point in this case.
Yami knew that he was going to hate himself for this later, bit he wanted this to be less painful for Yugi. He grabbed Yugi's hand and pulled him towards his parents, "little one, say goodbye to your family and remember that you will never see them again," he said with a sad smile
Yugi looked up at Yami with tears running down his face, he nodded and walked over to his parents and his Grandpa hugging them all tightly. Soon Yugi's Grandpa pulled away, locking eyes with Aknamkanon, they both shared a small smile for a while. Aknamkanon then flew up into the sky with the other vampires. The moon shone brightly at them and the wind singing a sad lullaby.
After they pulled away from their tight embrace Yugi backed away, moving to stand with Yami. Yami picked Yugi up bridal style in his arms and joined his family in the sky. The other vampires began to fly away, all except Yami who floated in place allowing Yugi enough time to wave goodbye to his family for the last time. His tears fell gently in the wind.
" YUGI I WILL GET YOU BACK I PROMISE MY SON!" Mark screamed up at the sky. He hoped that Yugi could hear him, but it was in vain for he was already too far away to hear anything.
