Chapter 18

Hey!

I don't have any great news, darn.

I couldn't come up with a good enough title for this chapter, sorry.

Anyways, I don't own Yugioh! Enjoy!

Yugi's POV

I had decided to stay home today. Yami knew why too. He had nearly drained me dry last night, so he convinced everyone at school that I had a high fever and won't be back until tomorrow.

I sat on the couch channel surfing on the TV. I passed the same channel for the third time. I sighed and got up. I walked into the kitchen and picked up an apple. I bit into it and hung it in my mouth while I picked up a bottle of water from the pantry. The apple fell out of my mouth and rolled across the floor.

"Crap..." I picked up the apple and threw it away. The phone rang making me jump and drop my water. "WHY?!"

I grabbed my phone and answered it.

What?

That is my thing, Yugi.

What. Do. You. Want. Kaiba.

I called to check on you. And since when have you called me Kaiba?

Well, I dropped my apple, and when you called, I dropped my water. There is nothing good on TV today. How was your day?

Mood swings much?

Seto...

There's that name I missed so much!

Seto Kaiba!

Alright, obviously you haven't gotten much sleep, or you're about to go berserk and kill Yami for nearly draining you dry.

Bingo!

I'll be right there...

I waited around for about five minutes before Seto got here. He look almost... nervous.

"I'm not gonna go berserk. But I will kill Yami when he gets here. I hate being so... dry!" I whined.

"I tried to convince him to give you the blood booster, but he didn't listen." Seto said setting his bag on the counter.

"Blood booster?"

"quickens the blood regenerating process. He'll probably end up giving it to you soon, since he's drank form you and has been saying that he can't wait for next month."

"Next month?"

"Next feeding."

"Nah, I'll skip."

"You can't just skip it, Yugi..."

"Why?"

"To prove that you are mates, you must feed at least once a month. It just the rules of the Vampire Council."

"I hate those guys..." Seto smiled and tossed me another apple.

"Eat that."

"What... did you do... to this poor apple?" He laughed.

"It has a small dose of blood booster in it. It will make you fell better." I bite into the apple. A flavour so amazing exploded of my tongue. A moan escaped my lips as I carnivorously ate the apple. He laughed again.

"If you take another bite you'll chip a tooth."

"Huh?"

"The core..." I looked and saw I was about to bite into the core of the apple. I laughed and threw it away.

I wandered around the school yard. Where is Yami? He promised to meet me after school today.

"Yugi!"

I turned to see Cleo, Yami's sister running towards me. "Cleo, what are you doing here?"

"Yami had an emergency meeting today back home, so he sent me to hang out with you today. He said it was a good idea because we are the same age."

"We have nothing alike..." I said shyly.

"That's what I said. Let's go get some ice cream or something." I nodded and followed her to the ice cream parlour.

Inside, we sat down at a table and began talking about random things.

"How is Heba?" I asked.

"He's great. I know he really wants to come here. He says he misses you, and he's jealous because you and your dad get to hang out while he is busy cleaning the king and queen's chambers every day." She laughs and scoops some of her ice cream.

"Can I ask you something?"

"sure!"

"Why at least once a month, for the feeding a mean?"

"Hard to explain... you should ask Yami. He is the next heir to the throne after all."

"Right..." We continued to eat in silence.

It had been a few weeks later. Yami, my dad and I were eating at a nearby restaurant. I hadn't said anything since we got there. My dad went to go buy a pack of cigarettes at the corner store real quick. I think the truth was he wanted us to be able to talk alone for a little bit.

"Why so quiet?" Yami said grabbing my hand.

"Huh? Oh, I'm just tired." I said not looking up at him.

"Is it because you have to take those blood boosters?"

"No, I'm just tired."

"Yugi,"

"Fine, whatever. I'm-"

"Tired, I know. Yugi, your friends are saying that you are getting more and more... antisocial."

"Antisocial! As if! They are the ones ignoring me, and hanging out with their lovers, or vampires or whatever. They are the ones not talking to me anymore!"

"And the truth comes out. Yugi, why don't you say something to everyone?"

"Because I don't like being so selfish."

"Yugi,"

"I think it's just because they are excited to finally graduate high school in a few months, so they are all planning their new lives. I can't blame them. The minute I graduate, I'm packing my bags and ditching this place."

"Where to?"

"A-I can't tell you that!"

"Why not?"

"Because you'll follow me. I'm only going to be gone for about a month, but still. I don't you following me!"

"I wouldn't if you-"

"Don't put that B.S. on me!"

"Yugi! I've never heard you swear before!"

"Yes you have!" We both start laughing.

"See, that is what I wanted to see. I miss that smile of yours." Yami leans over and kisses me.

"I'm back!" My dad shouts even though he's standing right in front of the table. Yami pulls away; both of us blushing as red as a tomato.

Eh, I had writers block, don't judge! Hehe, whatever. I kinda enjoyed writing this one.
