Malik yelped when he was thrown into a cage, he glared at the man before gasping when Yugi was also thrown in, he move just in time to prevent his friend to slammed into the bar of their cage and worsened his injuries.

He was glaring dagger at the men who caught them before the men laughed at him and left them just like that, he huffed in anger before looking at Yugi, only to notice that his friend's injuries were not treated at all.

Malik sighed in sadness, fortunately, he had been trained to be a Healer before he trained with Marik to fight, so he know what he should do to help his friend. He pulled off Yugi's robe and upper clothes, he saw that the arrows that had been buried had been pulled out, so all he need to do was wrapped his friend's injuries with cloth to stop the bleeding.

Malik ripped the bottom of Yugi's robe with one of the daggers that hidden carefully by Yugi so the Slave Hunters didn't find them, after he ripped two of a long strips, he hid the dagger again before working on Yugi's wounds. He wrapped one of the strips to the wound at on Yugi's shoulder a few times before tying it to make sure the cloth wouldn't slipped off from the wound, he then move to do the same thing with the one on Yugi's thigh.

Malik sighed in relief when he finished, at least his friend's bleeding will lessen and then stopped sooner or later, all he can do now was to wait for Yugi to wake up.

XXXXX

When Yugi came back to his consciousness, he noticed that all his senses were sharper twice than usual, meaning he was in hunting mode because his body need blood so much. Strange, Yugi thought as he tried to opened his eyes, I had just drank no more than a week ago, I should still be able to hold on to at least three weeks again.

"Yugi!" Yugi heard Malik's voice rang in relief, he was confused why Malik was in his and Akefia's cave, he opened his eyes to find that he was not in the cave, but in a cage, "Oh, Thank Ra that you are awake".

Yugi moaned, "Where are we?" he asked sleepily.

"We were caught by the Slave Hunters, we are currently in a cage they use to keep their prisoners." Malik answered sadly, "How is your wounds?" he asked.

Yugi looked at Malik, "Wounds?" he asked as he tried to sat up, but a sheer pain from his shoulder and thigh stopping him, "What?" he asked before the event from before he passed out coming into his head, "Oh, right." he mumbled unhappily with a sigh, "I was shot, twice".

"Yeah, I was really frightened back there, I thought that you will die." Malik said with a pale face, "Oh, I'm sorry that I had to rip your robe, I couldn't find something that was as long as your robe to wrapped your wounds with after all".

Yugi looked at Malik in confusion before looking at his injured shoulder, "Oh." He mumbled when he saw that the cloth that wrapped his shoulder was a piece of his robe, "It's alright." He said to his friend with a smile, "You did that to help me, so it's alright".

Malik smiled at him, "That's good." He said in relief before his expression turned sad, "But now that we are in their hands, we will be sold for sure".

Yugi sighed, "Don't be so sure about that." He said in annoyance before closing his eyes and focusing on his hearing, he heard a few voices far from the place he was in.

"What are we going to do about those two kids, Boss?"

"The one that managed to wounded our members, I'm going to sell him to the foreign country, I'm sure they would want him as their guard dog."

Yugi growled when he heard that but focusing more to the conversation.

"Then, how about his friend?"

"The same."

"Why?"

"Because he can be strong if he is trained more, I'm sure we can get much from them."

Yugi's eyes snapped open and he scowled, "Scums." He mumbled in anger.

"Yugi?" Malik asked in confusion and a bit of fear when he looked at his friend, at first he was just confused why his friend growled out of the blue, but now he get a bit scared when he saw that his friend's bright Amethyst had glowed with silver light and his pupils slitted like cat's.

Yugi looked at Malik and raised an eyebrow, "What is it, Malik?" he asked calmly before noticed that his friend was looking at him with wide eyes, "Malik, what's wrong?".

"Yugi, your eyes . . ." Malik said as he pointed at Yugi's eyes, "The pupils slitted, and . . . why is it that your fangs longer than usual?".

Yugi covered his mouth with his hand before looking away, "Don't know." He answered with a forced calmness.

Malik didn't convinced at all, he get even more suspicious that his friend looking away like that, "Yugi, tell me, what's wrong with you?" he asked seriously, he noticed that his friend was pale, not pale like his pale skin color the first time they met, but the kind of pale from sickness.

Yugi shook his head, "Nothing's wrong." He answered nervously, but then his body twitched, like when he want to pulled out his wings and claws, but he didn't want to let them out, he didn't want to be found out by Malik.

"Yugi." Malik said sternly.

" . . . " Yugi was silent.

Malik growled, "Yugi, look at me!" he yelled and grabbed his friend's hand, but Yugi pulled out his hand from Malik's, causing his suspicion to raised more, "Yugi." He called again, then he heard Yugi's moan, his eyes widened again, "Yugi, what's the matter?" he asked in panic before gasping out loud.

Yugi's eyes watered when his wings and claws coming out even though he tried to keep them in, he was scared that Malik will hate him when he know just what Yugi really was.

On the other hand, Malik was staring at his friend in awe and confusion, "Yugi?" he asked as he moved his hand to touch what was looked like wings on his friend's back. The wings moved and wrapped around Yugi like a cocoon when Malik's hand touch them, "Yugi, what are you?" he asked. He was not scared, he just confused and surprised.

Yugi opened his wings and looked at Malik, "I'm a . . . Vampire." He answered in fear and sadness, he didn't want Malik to know what he really was, for he scared if his friend would get scared of him.

Malik's eyes widened, "Vampire? The creature from the myth?" he asked in a bit of fear before he blinked his eyes, "But you didn't acted like the Vampires from the stories and myth".

"Because the myths are myths, they are all fake and wrong." Yugi answered as he stared of Malik, "You aren't scared of me?" he asked hopefully.

Malik smiled at Yugi, "The Yugi I know was a kind boy that can get aggressive if he want or need to, not a dangerous creature that likes to kill people." He grinned, "Why must I scared of you? You are still you no matter what".

Yugi smiled happily at the answer, then he frowned and forced himself to sat up, "But I'm in trouble now." He said softly.

"Why?" Malik asked in confusion before it's clicked in his head, "You need blood, right?" he asked.

Yugi nodded, "Because I'm injured, I need to get blood soon or I will lose control over my body, if I lose control, I will attacked people randomly, it's bad." He explained with a pale face, "I don't want that to happen".

Malik was looking at Yugi seriously before he made up his decision, "Then drink from me." He said seriously.

Yugi's eyes snapped to Malik, "What?" he asked in disbelief and shock.

"I said, drink from me, so you can control your body better than now." Malik answered calmly, but his eyes was filled with determination and seriousness.

Yugi was hesitant, but he nodded his head, "But just a bit, I hate human's blood." He mumbled before looking around, "But, are we the only ones here?" he asked in confusion.

"Yeah." Malik answered with a nod as he move closer to Yugi, "I don't know why, but we all imprisoned into different rooms. Come on, you are at your limit, right? I can even see the hunger in your eyes".

Yugi blushed but nodded, he pulled Malik's hand and bit softly to his wrist, he had used his Magic so Malik wouldn't feel any pain when he bite him. When he had drank a few gulps, he pulled out his fangs from Malik's wrist and licked the wound to closed it.

Malik stared at his hand in amazement, "Wow, you can heal wound." He said in awe before looking at Yugi, his friend's eyes had turned back to normal and his fangs shortened, his claws and wings also disappeared, "But why I didn't feel any pain?" he asked curiously.

"I used Vampire Magic to make it didn't painful for you." Yugi explained as he wipe his mouth clean from blood and looked at his wound, he saw some smoke from his wounds so he rip open the cloth.

"Yugi, what are you doing?! Your wounds are . . ." Malik was nearly scold Yugi for what he did before noticing that his friend's injury was starting to closed up by themselves, "Healing?" He blinked his eyes before looking at Yugi questioningly.

Yugi stared at his wounds until they fully healed before wrapping the cloth back around his shoulder and thigh, "When I get wounded, if I drink blood then they will healed in no time." He explained before looking at his friend, "Since I'm a Vampire, if I'm wounded by Silver then I can only healing in normal pace, but I wouldn't die from Silver. Those myths said that Vampires can be killed by stabbing Silver into their bodies, it's wrong. We are immortals, so we wouldn't die just because we are stabbed with Silver, we can only be killed if we are stabbed right through our heart using Silver and Holy weapons".

Malik staring at Yugi with open mouth before shutting his mouth and nodded, "I see." He can only said that.

Yugi nodded before looking at the doorway, "I hope Papa will come soon." He said to change the subject.

Malik nodded, "Yeah, I hope Marik will come soon too, so he will save us." He agreed.

" . . . " They fell into silence after that, before deciding that it's better for them to sleep.
