Chapter 22: One thing(One Direction)

For all you 1D haters, I'm with ya. I was listening to nightcore again, and a song called 'one thing' came up as a recommended song, so I clicked on it. I had no idea it was from 1D until I read the comments. :p If you do hate the band, then congrats! You made my fav people list under the 'good taste in music' category!

ok, so I like totally ran out of ideas and just could not come up with ideas on what to do for the one remaining week left. I am sooo sorry, but I'm just going to have to skip over it. I apologize, but for those who have had writers' block before you would know... it sucks... like a vacuum. XoX

Ok, so this is it. In 2-4 chapters it will be the end. I will have a better answer on the next update. So look forward to that!

Ok, on with the show! I don't own Yugioh! Enjoy!

Yugi's POV

I woke up next to Yami. His arms were tightly wrapped around my waist. I slowly tried to wriggle my way from his arms. Once I got free, I slowly made my way into the bathroom and locked the door behind me. I turned the faucet on and washed my face. I lifted my head and looked at my reflection in the mirror.

This is the last time I'll see this face. Today's the day I become a vampire, just like everyone else is.

It's been a week since I made the deal with the Pharaoh. Today I become a vampire. Tomorrow, I become royalty. What would Heba think? What about Dad? There was a knock on the door.

"Hey, Yugi, you ok?" Yami's soft voice asked on the other side of the door.

"Uh, yeah. Um, how long until we have to go down to the hall?" I asked back.

"One hour. I have to shower, so you'll have to either get out eventually or-"

"I'm out!" I fling the door open to face a smirking Yami.

"Good. I'll be out in a bit. Do you need to take one?"

"No, I took one last night, but I'll take one after... that when we get back up. That's ok, right?"

"Of course. I'll be out in a bit. Go ahead and get ready." He ruffle my hair and closed the door.

I did just as he said. I was almost completely ready when felt my jacket pull from my shoulders.

"No, you have to wear this, didn't you see it?" Yami cooed in my ear.

"Uh, I thought that was for you." I said nervously. I was nervous to see him in only a towel wrapped around his waist again. Yes, he did that to me last night too.

He walked over to the clothes, which were neatly and ceaselessly folded, and pulled off a sticky note that said 'Yugi' on it.

"oh,uh, hmm, right..." I smiled shyly.

"Right." He grabbed his clothes and went to change in the bathroom.

As for me, I took off my regular clothes, unfolded the white, simple dress and slipped it over my head. I took the next dress on pulled that over my head, the first one was just an under-shirt kinda thing. The second dress was neatly ironed and was a tan or sand colour dress. The jewellery I was forced to wear were not as bad as I had expected. There was a golden choker with the eye of Ra on the centre. I had to wear another necklace that hung about an inch or two down below the choker. I had to wear gold wrist bands on each arm and a single band on my upper right arm. My shoes were gold as well. They were like Slip-on sloes, except there had bands that clung around my ankles.

Yami walked out and smiled at me. He was more packed in jewellery and gold that I was. "Ready?" I nodded. He hooked his arm around my own and led me towards the hall.

xXx

We were sitting at the table in the dining hall conversing with the head of the vampire council. They were trying to decide whether Yami should do the... 'biding'. I was shaking. Yami could tell I was shaking. He kept squeezing my hand and smiling at me. I didn't want them to win. I could tell Yami was trying to keep his cool and not kill them.

Here's the bad part; they were speaking in a language I couldn't understand. I'm guessing it was Egyptian. Can people even speak Egyptian or is it just readable? Gah, I can't even think straight because I'm so nervous!

Yami squeezed my hand again. Stop it! It doesn't help! I wanted to scream that in his ear, but I kept my own cool just like Yami.

"Alright, this conversation is over. Yami will not be attending the ceremony, nor will he be doing the biding. That is our decision. If you can not accept that, then Yugi will have to be removed." The leader of the council stood and pointed to me.

"You bastards, you don't get it. We don't trust you! I'd rather die then give up Yugi. It isn't as simple as you think to give up the one thing you love the most! If you-anyone in this room- thinks it's easy to give up love like that, then you're a sick, f***ing, bastard!" Yami stood, yelled and slammed his hands on the table, sending a crack through the middle. I didn't flinch from that, but I sure did stare up and Yami and his tall, beautiful, looming, gorgeous-stop it Yugi, this is not the time- figure.

"Yugi, stand up." He whispered to me.

"Huh?"

"Now..."

"O-ok..." I slowly stood, My jewellery clinking lightly. Once I was standing, everyone, well the council, shot daggering glares at me. If glares could kill, I'm sure Id' already be dead. Yami nodded to me gently.

"We will be going. I will return Yugi home tomorrow. Let's go." He snatched my hand and pulled me out the door.

Once we returned to our room, we changed out of our formal clothes and into normal clothes. We lied on the bed next to each other. It that 'awkward silence' moment.

"Who would have done it... if you accepted?" I broke the cold dense air.

"It would either be Seth or Kaiba unless they know that you three are friends, then it would have been one of them. Since they don't know you know them, it would be them." HE replied.

"Then why not? I trust them... we at least I trust Seto. I don't know much about Seth, but Joey and Seto would and if they trust Seth then I do too!"

"... It's not that simple."

"Yes it is. I've studied this kind of thing. If I'm right. The king gets to choose, unless there is an offense between the king and the council that they can't agree on. Joey always talks about how loyal of a priest Seto is to the council, so he should be accepted by both sides. All we have to do is get the king to tell Seto to do it."

"But... Well, I guess... No, they... But-"

"You can't find an excuse?"

"You really did study over this."

"Yes, now let's go get that acceptance."

xxx

"Where are they?" Yami asked barging into the dining hall.

"Hmm? You mean those nasty mosquitos?" Seth mocked.

"Yes, where?"

"Eh, Yug' why's your biter all paranoid-like?" Joey asked appearing from behind a column.

"Gah, what- nevermind that. Where's Seto?" I jumped back before asking quickly.

"Same place..." Seto said coming from behind the same pillar.

"ook, well- Yami?" I jumped back towards where Seto and Joey were standing. Yami was standing on the dining table messing with the chandelier above the table. Seth, who was sitting in a chair at the table, was simply laughing.

"Huh, oh, I'm trying to get this... speaker! Got it! Wait woah!" Yami fell from the table and crashed to the floor.

"Eh, Yami?" Joey leaned over him and looked at him.

"I got it!" Yami said drowsily.

"Ugh, come on. We'll be late. Yami, explain on the way!" I said giving him a hand up.

"Ok, let's go. I'm guessing they're in the main hall." Yami led us to the main hall.

When we got in, the guards were told to restrain us, and pull me away from Yami.

"We'll take her home. You won't have too." The head grabbed me arm and pulled me against him.

"Let Yugi go!" Yami tried to push his way through.

"Hmm, no." He pulled me closer and licked at the nape of my neck.

"Ok, gross! Are trying to make him mad, or me?" I whined. He replied with a nip at me ear.

"Get your filthy hands off of her!" Yami screeched.

"No, again! I like this little pet, and since the king isn't here. I am allowed to do whatever I want to her and you." He slided his hand up the back of my shirt.

"Hey, yug' remember what we told you to say when you were being bullied and you couldn't get away?" Joey winked at me. I nodded and grinned.

"What is that idiot talking about?" the head asked.

"Eh, just a little trick I learned. If you don't let go, everyone in this entire kingdom will think you're a dirty man." I grinned again.

"That I am, and nothing will make me stop."

"Suit yourself..." I inhaled and elbowed him in the stomach "RAPIST! YOU BLOODY RAPIST! RAPE! RAPE!" Just like I had planned, he let go and jumped back.

"Now, that wasn't fair." The man pouted.

"Let 'em go, or I'll keep shouting. Even a vampire knows that being accused of that isn't fun."

"I'm not-"

"RAPE! RAPISTS! RA-"

"Dear Ra, what is going on?" The king walked in.

"Nice work, Yugi!" Yami laughed and pushed his way through the guards' arms making his way to me. "I request that my priest Seto Kaiba does the biding. You should agree, after all, you basically just molested my fiancé. Since I can't do it I expect for you to agree to this."

"I- I suppose I can allow that..." The man wavered.

I faced Yami. His fangs retracted and he walked up to me. He hugged me from behind and rested his chin in my hair.

"Let's just get this over with..." Yami hugged tighter as he spoke.

xXx

They decided to move the 'ceremony' to the next day. I was exhausted yesterday and they said it wasn't safe to do it when I was like that. Yami had set that whole discussion in motion.

Well, now today is really the day.

I walked slowly down the hall towards the main hall to meet Yami and the others. I was dressed in the formal clothes again. I was starting to get used to these.

I stopped before the large golden doors. The guards nodded to me and pushed them open for me. I did a small curtsy thing that Yami taught me to do and they only blushed. I guess they just weren't expecting that.

I walked into the room and heard the doors behind me close. This is it. No turning back now. No, I wouldn't dare turn back. We've been through too much.

"Took you long enough..." Seto teased. "You sure about this?"

"Definitely. No turning back." I whispered back.

"We are ready. On your order, My Pharaoh." Seto bowed to him. Yami nodded to me signalling to do the same, so I did the weird curtsy thing.

"You may begin..." The pharaoh ordered. Seto nodded and turned to me.

"Since you already have vampire blood in your system, it should be much easier and it will not hurt as much." Seto whispered.

He sat me in a chair and pushed my hair to the side. Yami locked eyes with me but he looked completely calm. Seto knelt down beside me and lightly pushed his lips on my neck. He carefully bit down and punctured my skin. He definitely had a much more gentle bite then Yami. Either he really didn't want to do this, or he was too scared of Yami to bite any harder. He pulled away and placed his wrist to his mouth. He bit it and placed it in front of me. I starred at it for a moment before realizing I have to drink it. I slowly drank from his wrist. I pulled away trying to hide my look of disgust. He only chuckled and whispered something in my ear.

"Don't let Yami kill me for this..."

He put both hands on my hand and cracked it lightly. Yami stood after hearing the sound of my bones breaking. I scrunched my nose and let out a sly chuckle. It didn't hurt. The bones in my hands automatically fixed themselves.

"It worked. You should begin to notice a sudden change in skin tone, healing, appetite, etc. I think you get it. You probably already have your fangs in though." Seto teasingly pecked me on the cheek just to annoy Yami. "My Pharaoh, my prince, my ladies, I am finished. I will take my leave." Seto bowed and called for Joey and Seth, who were standing in a far corner, to follow him.

xXx

It was the middle of the night. Yami and I were sharing his room again. I sat up abruptly and fell back down. My head felt like it was exploding.

"Yugi... you have a fever. It's really high..." Yami whispered.

"Meh, I don't want to get up..." I whined.

"Come on. Let's get you too Isis."

"Ugh, m-mmk." He lifted me into his arms and carried me to Isis.

"It's just from the transformation. I can keep her here and give her medicine, but that will slow down the pace of her turning into a vampire. If the council needs her a vampire tomorrow, then I'd better not. Believe me, she will be fine." Isis sighed and pulled out a tray of shots.

"Well, Yugi, does it hurt?" Yami asked me placing his cold digits to my forehead.

"mm-mm." I hummed.

"Was that a no?" I nodded and put a 'thumbs down' in the air trying to signal it didn't hurt. "mmm, well, I guess if you say she'll be fine."

"I promise, Yugi will live!" Isis smiled and put away the shots.

"Ok, let's go back to sleep, Hikari."

Was that good enough for you?

I said... WAS THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?
