AN: Oh my God, it's been... aaaages. I'm so sorry! I should have updated something at least 2 weeks ago but I was caught up in being home and free for about a month before I start working again. But now, uni has finished for the year! I have passed this year! So it's time for a celebratory drabble! Yay! [claps excitedly]

So, I shall stop talking now and present you with the drabble! I hope you enjoy it!


Infection

Yuugi opened his eyes only to immediately close them again when the harsh lighting hit them. He tried to bring his hand up to his eyes to rub the soreness away only to wince in pain as ripped muscles stretched.

Yuugi groaned, why was he in so much pain?

Yuugi opened his eyes once more, squinting at his surroundings. All he could see in his vision was stark white. White walls, white bed sheets and bright fluorescent lights.

Yuugi blinked. He was either dead or in a hospital. He didn't know which he preferred when he felt a burning pain radiating from his ribs.

Whimpering, Yuugi carefully started to push himself up so his back could lie against the pillows. Breathing heavily he kept his arms by his sides as he stared at the wall of the hospital room.

What had happened to him?

The last thing he remembered was walking home from a friend's house. He had been in a hurry and barely paid any attention to his surroundings. It's not like anything had ever happened before!

Reaching for the call button, which was hanging from the rail on the bed, careful of the long IV tube coming from his right hand, Yuugi immediately pressed the little button on the top, hoping one of the nurses would come in. Yuugi pressed the button again only for his eyes to flutter and his head swim gently.

Quickly blinking and breathing deeply, Yuugi realised the problem.

"Okay, not the call button then."

Yuugi sighed as the pain all but disappeared as the morphine ran through his system, at least now he would be able to move. He pulled the scratchy blankets off him, trying to find the strength to move.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Yuugi yelped quietly at the man that was suddenly in his room.

"Mr. Mutou, you really should not move."

Yuugi glared at the man, gathering he was his doctor from the blue scrubs and white overcoat.

"I need to leave." Once again, Yuugi started to get out of bed, ignoring the twinges of pain overwhelming the intense pain medication.

The doctor strode gracefully across the room, gently pushing Yuugi down on to the bed.

"Stop! My grandfather –"

"Has been contacted. He's already visited you. You've been out for about three days."

Calming down, Yuugi closed his eyes. Resting his head against the, surprisingly, soft pillows.

"What happened?"

"You were attacked..." Yuugi saw the stone-faced doctor falter and pause, "By a werewolf."

Yuugi's heart skipped a beat at that. Werewolf? Yuugi's mind raced with the thought. Werewolf. The doctor continued, leaving Yuugi to stare blankly at the wall in front of him.

"I'm sorry to say that the infection has spread because..."

"... werewolves are the most infectious of all shifters, I know." And he did, he had studied paranormal biology at university, one tiny scratch from a werewolf in their shifted form had an almost one hundred percent chance of spreading lycanthropy.

The doctor nodded, "You've already become restless in your sleep, the scars have completely healed, the pain you feel is from the broken ribs and they are healing quite nicely in only three days. What I'm trying to say is that you have definitely been infected. It's almost impossible to escape without the virus when scratched but it has happened before and I didn't want you to feel any false hope."

Yuugi's eyes closed when the words hit his ears. He was a werewolf.

"I know this how hard this is for you –"

Yuugi interrupted the doctor, "Do you? Do you really?"

Yuugi opened his eyes when he heard the doctor sigh and scrape the visitor's chair beside the bed, falling onto the uncomfortable plastic heavily.

"Yes, I truly do know what you're going through. And I'd like to help you."

Yuugi's eyes widened. "Why?"

"Because I never had any help when I was bitten," The doctor smiled sadly, "I know how much you would struggle without someone there to show you how to manage such a change. Studying about the change is one thing, going through it is something completely different. It's something both exhilarating and completely terrifying. So when you're all healed, I'm going to take you to meet the local pack in town."

"You're going to do all this for me and I don't even know your name." Yuugi scoffed weakly at the doctor.

The doctor smirked gently, peculiar crimson eyes sparkling lightly. "I'm Yami Atemu and I'm your Alpha."

His doctor chuckled when Yuugi's eyes widened, this man was his leader? His eyes fluttered shut again, this time in exhaustion, his head swam gently and he realised the doctor must have pushed the morphine button. He barely felt his hair being played with and the doctor's distorted and heavy words being whispered into his ear before the world turned black:

"Sleep, my little Omega."


AN: Well, how'd you like it? Obviously, supernatural creatures are known in this universe sort of like Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter. But completely different. This will have a sequel, it's half written already so if you like it I'll continue it, since I have a couple of ideas for sequels. Also, I have no idea about morphine [winces] I probably should have researched it a bit more, so, um, sorry? I'll revise it at some point, promise, if it's very off!

I'll try and not take so long in updating, lazyness is the only thing standing in the way of happy-drabble-time since I have no other excuse for a few more weeks, so I'll try and get some updates up soon. Again, I'm so sorry for not updating sooner I have been an 'arse' as Auster called me not a few minutes ago. Thanks again, Auster.

Review!
