Starry Skies

Chapter 2

The Truth

About ten minutes later they arrived at what Yugi and Joey could only assume to be Yami's house. Yami pushed a button on the roof of the truck and the garage door opened. Once he pulled the truck inside he made sure the door shut and shut the truck off. Yami opened the garage door and held it open for the others to exit. "Thank you" Yugi said smiling at Yami as he walked through the door.

"You're welcome" Yami said bowing his head to Yugi.

They walked up to the porch and Yami unlocked the door, stepping aside to let everyone in. Once inside Yami began turning on lights. Yugi noticed the curtains were all shut so no one could see in or out of the house. He turned to look at Yami and realized why the curtains were all drawn.

Yugi couldn't help but stare at Yami, he was handsome. Even though his looks were a lot like his own, Yugi thought Yami was the most gorgeous person he'd ever seen. He was tanned even though he was half vampire, his ears were pointed, his blonde bangs that framed his face were tucked behind his pointy ears. A few extra golden bangs were combed back with the rest of his hair. The ebony black seemed to shine in the lights of the house, his crimson red tips bringing his sparkling crimson red eyes to life. He stood just a little bit taller than Yugi, and he was in a black tank top, dark blue leather pants, black leather boots with silver designs on them, and two belts clung to his hips. Belt-like bracelets went around his wrists, and one was wrapped snuggly around his neck. His ears were pierced, two diamonds were in his earlobes while a golden hoop was wrapped around his left cartledge.

Yami caught Yugi staring at him, his mouth hanging open a little. A smile began pulling up the corners of his lips. He had to admire the little one. His bright amethyst eyes seemed to sparkle with desire, Yami could almost hear the younger one's heart rate increasing. Yugi was in a white dress shirt, it was untucked from his light blue jeans, black and white Nikes were on his feet, a black belt was looped through his belt loops, he had a blue jacket hanging over his arm. Yami smirked at Yugi and walked over to him. Yugi was obviously oblivious to the older one walking towards him, because he continued to stare with his mouth hanging open. Yami gently put his right hand under Yugi's chin before pushing it up and closing Yugi's mouth. "I wouldn't leave your mouth open for to long, you never know when you'll eat a bug" Yami said winking at Yugi.

Yugi blushed a bright red. Yami just smiled at him, he placed his hand gently on Yugi's cheek, he closed his eyes and hummed a little. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked at Yugi. "It's really weird how here you are standing in front of one of the things you were taught to fear, but yet your heart rate is increasing because you're nervous around me, and not because you're scared."

"H-How do you know that?" Yugi asked tilting his head. He didn't realize it until it was to late, but he tilted into Yami's touch. The blush covered his cheeks once he realized what he did.

Yami chuckled, and slowly ran his hand down Yugi's cheek before dropping it completely. "I know because your heart beat is different when you're scared. Earlier, you were scared, because you didn't know what I was, once I told you your heartbeat went back to normal. Now its different than it was then."

"Oh." Yugi tried to keep the disappointment out of his voice. Why did he want Yami's hand on his face again? Why did he get a rush around this guy? Was it because this wasn't right? Or was it something more? Yugi shrugged it off for the time being.

"Well, I'm sure you guys are tired, so I'll give you a quick tour before you guys go to bed." Yami said "This is the kitchen, you see something you want? You can have it, I don't care. Help yourselves." He walked out of the kitchen and into the next room "This is just kind of a random room. I dunno, I don't use it, I think it's supposed to be like the dining room or something? Maybe?" Yami shrugged and continued on "This is the living room. Watch whatever the hell you want, flat screen there, recliner there, chairs there, and a couch is over there" Yami said pointing out all the furniture. They turned and walked back through the dining room to the stairs. "Up here is the bedrooms" Yami said while walking up the stairs. "This middle room I don't use, but I have an air mattress that I can set up for you guys, or theres a shit load of blankets and pillows in the closet over there you can use, that room there to the right is a guest bedroom, you guys can use it, or you guys can sleep out here, I don't care. My room is right back there" Yami said pointing to a room at the back of the room they were currently in. "If you need me, I'll either be in there or I'll be downstairs. Any questions?"

"Just one" Yugi said.

Yami turned and raised an eyebrow "Hm?"

"Where's the bathroom?" Yugi said smiling.

Yami facepalmed realizing his mistake. He smiled and scratched his head sheepishly. "Guess I left that out huh?"

"Yep"

Yami smirked at Yugi "Anything to point out my mistakes huh?"

Yugi grinned, flashing his sparkling white teeth. Yami chuckled. "Okay smart ass, the bathroom is down the stairs and at the left of the dining room. Theres also one through the kitchen."

"Thank you" Yugi said smiling.

"I have a feeling you get beat up a lot..." Yami said. Yugi grinned again, a sweatdrop on the side of his head. "You keep that up, you're gonna get beat up here too." Yami said before walking over to the stairs. "Well, goodnight everyone." Yami waved as he walked down the stairs.

"Wait, aren't you going to bed?" Joey asked.

"Now if I did that I'd be stuck in this form for a while." Yami chuckled "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything but sit down here and watch T.V. until the sun comes up. Then I'll sleep for a little while."

"It's like five in the morning!" Joey looked shocked.

"Yeah, I'm aware. And the sun rises at seven. I'll go to bed then." Yami smiled before continuing on down the stairs.

Yugi, Joey, and Seto pulled out some blankets and pillows before laying down. It didn't take long before Joey and Seto were out. Yugi kept tossing and turning, he just couldn't get comfortable. He sighed and sat up. He looked around the room and wondered if Yami had gone to bed yet. He decided to go downstairs and find out.

Yugi tiptoed around Joey and Seto, careful not to wake them up. He continued to tiptoe down the stairs and through the dining room. He walked quietly towards the living room, searching for any sign of Yami. He spotted Yami sitting over by the window. His head peeking out the curtains resting in his palms. Yugi was about to say something but Yami spoke first. "Can't sleep?" Yugi jumped a little. Yami pulled his head out of the curtains "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you."

"Uh, it's okay, you just startled me is all" Yugi said.

Yami moved over and sat on the light blue couch, patting the cushion next to him for Yugi to come sit by him. "What's on your mind?"

"I dunno, I guess I'm just scared, or worked up. I don't know" Yugi sat beside Yami and decided at that minute that his hands were more entertaining.

"I think you just need something to calm your nerves. How about some chamomille tea?" Yugi looked up and was met with a gentle, understanding smile.

Yugi smiled and nodded "That sounds good about now."

Yami chuckled "Okay, I'll go make you a cup."

Yugi stood and followed Yami to the kitchen. A few minutes later Yami handed Yugi a warm cup of chamomille tea. "Be careful, it might be a little hot." Yugi nodded and slowly sipped his tea. Yami smiled a warm, caring smile "Good?"

"Mhmm" Yugi hummed.

Yami chuckled then turned and left the kitchen headed for the living room again. He only had twenty more minutes before he could finally rest. The day was beginning to take its toll on Yami, and he didn't need to fall asleep right now. He sat down in one of the chairs, stretching, his back popped. He turned his head and popped his neck before stretching his legs and popping his knees. "Feel better yet?" Yugi giggled coming back into the living room.

Yami chuckled "A little, I'll feel better once I'm able to go to sleep."

"Why can't you sleep now?"

"Because I won't change back if I'm asleep."

"So you have to be awake to change from human to vampire and back again?"

"No, only to change back to human from vampire."

"Well, that's kind of dumb..."

Yami chuckled "Yeah, yeah it is."

"So how much longer do you have to wait?"

Yami looked down at his watch "Bout ten more minutes."

"Yug! There you are!" Joey yelled coming into the living room, Seto on his heels.

"Where the heck did you think I went?" Yugi asked raising an eyebrow.

Yami chuckled at Yugi's facial expression. "I thought you went to the bathroom, but then you didn't come back."

Yugi giggled. "I came down here because I couldn't sleep, so Yami made me some tea, and we've just been talking."

"Oh" Joey scratched his head sheepishly.

Yugi looked at the clock on the wall "Just five more minutes huh Yami?" Yugi asked sitting in the other chair.

Yami looked at his watch "Yep, just five more minutes." He leaned back in his chair.

'Poor guy, he looks exhausted' Yugi thought to himself.

Joey noticed Yugi staring at Yami and looked to see what he was staring at. Yami had dark lines under his eyes. 'Poor fella, he's exhausted. He looks like he's about to crash.'

Yami's clock dinged once it read seven. Yugi, Joey and Seto were watching Yami and noticed his pointy ears beginning to round and shrink. Yugi's eyes widened and he couldn't help but get closer. A closer look showed Yami's fangs retreating back, his nails shortening, his pupils were rounding out from their previous diamond shape. Yami's ears still had a bit of a point when Yugi's curiousity got the best of him. He reached up and touched Yami's left ear with his right hand. Yugi felt Yami's ear rounding out, Yami's eyes were half lidded and he was relaxed against Yugi's touch. As Yami's ears returned back to normal his bangs shifted back down towards his face, no longer held back by his ears. Yugi slowly lowered his hand "That was so cool" Yugi said softly, noticing Yami's eyes closing slowly. "Yami?" Yugi whispered. Getting no answer Yugi poked Yami gently on the arm.

Seto chuckled. "You're not getting him up Yugi. Here, I've got 'im" Seto walked over and picked Yami up out of the chair. Yami didn't even stir at all. Seto carried Yami up the stairs, careful not to hit his head on the wall or railing. "Yugi, will you get the door?" Seto whispered. Yugi nodded and opened the door to Yami's room, holding it open for Seto. Seto turned sideways to guide Yami's limp body into the room. He laid Yami down gently on the bed, his head on the pillows, and covered him up. "There" Seto said "Now he'll sleep peacefully."

"Goodnight Yami" Yugi whispered.

Yugi yawned and Seto chuckled "Looks like that chamomille tea is working." Yugi nodded sleepily "C'mon, let's get you to bed too." Seto put a hand on Yugi's back and guided him back to his bed of blankets.

Yugi curled up in his blankets, burying his head in his pillow. "Goodnight you guys" he said through a yawn.

"Goodnight Yug" Joey said smiling at his sleepy best friend.

"Goodnight Yugi" Seto said quietly.

Joey cuddled into Seto and the two of them fell asleep. They'd wake up later that day, for now, they were going to enjoy a good... Morning's sleep...

Me: Well, it's not like it could be called a good nights sleep XD It was seven in the morning XD lol! Anyway! I hope you guys are enjoying this story as well :) *waves* Goodbye guys! ^_^
