22-Turning to Twilight

"You wanted to talk to me?" Yugi asked.

"Indeed. About our next move." Atem explained.

Yami joined in. "Now that we have all three keys, we need to plan what we should do."

Atem gave a proud smile towards Yami, to which the latter stared back puzzled. "I commend you both for your efforts. Going through so much trouble just to bring me back, I feel flattered. Tell me, how did you manage to do so?"

For some reason a compliment from Atem felt...odd. Yami only scratched the back of his head and cleared his throat. "I killed Venom and demanded the final key back from Akefia." He answered casually. Both Atem and Yugi however, didn't take it that way.

"Akefia," Atem whispered. "The true Akefia?" Yami nodded in return. Yugi's lip trembled, his eyes staring hard at the ground.

"You killed Venom..?"

Yami nodded to this as well. "Yes, he is finally dead. Ripped his head clean off."

The boy only kept staring at the lush green grass. A dark and eerie spark flashed inside of his heart, and Atem felt it. He sensed nothing but darkness from that spark. That spark, began a small flame of something evil and angry-

Failed revenge.

Atem quickly pulled Yami to his side and turned away from Yugi so that their conversation could not be heard. Yugi however didn't see, to care much, since he continued to have a stare-off with the ground. Yami glanced at Atem with a baffled expression.

"Wha-" And Atem cut him off.

"Besides the whole, 'jumping off of a building' scenario, has Yugi been acting strange since his grandfather passed?"

Yami blinked at this question. His eyes slowly shook, that anxious feeling was growing inside of him again. "Well, I noticed that his aura has felt more darker since then, more different. That's why I'm still worried. And I can feel his darkness growing. But, we cannot worry about that right now-"

"Yami, we are not making the same mistake again like in Egypt. If something is arising as a problem, we need to handle it, now." His voice was stern. Yami saw flashbacks of Atem yelling at him about intruders, and then of his terrible death. He slightly shivered. He heavily sighed and nodded in reluctant agreement.

"Well then, what do you think?"

Atem took a glance at the boy. "I think he may be becoming a twilight user." Yami narrowed his eyes.

"Why do you think that?"

"Your worries were correct. I sense evil and darkness in his body. It is colliding with the light, yet, they're not corrupting. They're fusing in harmony. At least for now, as long as there isn't more of the other and that they are both equal."

At that, Yami realized that he has witnessed Yugi's power morph from one essence to another. Like when they were running to his house and used their magic to get there faster, he saw light fade to darkness, but then quickly switched back to light. Atem scoffed.

"It is partly our fault that he is changing. Being around him so much, he has absorbed some of our darkness. Not only that, but he's developing his own evil from within his rage. He wanted revenge, I can tell. But because you ended Venom's life, that only angered him more."

"What?" Yami cursed himself. He barely realized this was happening. He didn't know it was this bad.

"We need to keep him in check, or even his own personality will be affected. He'll become evil, and might even turn into a shadow-walker like us if his soul is not appeased And that, is deadly."

"What should we do? And I thought you said you were not sure of what he would become?" Yami desperately asked. They both know that Yugi becoming a shadow-walker like them wasn't an option. They just couldn't see that happen to such a pure young boy. Yami never even thought that Yugi of all people would think of such vicious thoughts as revenge.

"You both just need to stay stable. You, with your blood rage. And Yugi with his new-found evil. Things can turn catastrophic very easily. The way he reacted to you saying you killed Venom...That sealed your suspicions."

With that, Yami nodded and both shadow-walkers called for their third member to come closer.

"So! What's the plan?" The boy smiled. But the others both knew that it was faked. Trying to ignore it, Atem spoke first.

"Well, I advise that you both attempt the ritual in the middle of center city. You'll have enough room there. But you must be careful. Those humans are probably still looking for you. Once you both enter Limbo, immediately form a force field around yourselves at the same time, joining your opposite powers together. You will create twilight magic, that will be powerful enough to protect you from the intense negative atmosphere. After that, you must locate my body. Unfortunately I do not know where my corpse is." Atem sighed.

"No worries," Yami added. "Seto told me where you are."

Atem blinked. "Se..to..?"

Yami shook his head. "A reincarnation of Seth. Just continue, I'll talk to you about him later."

Atem nodded and continued to explain. "There are many dangerous creatures that lurk in the woods of Limbo. They are not your average artificial shadow-walkers. If anything, a small group alone may be a problem. There are beasts and empty soul-less dead people wandering around. And if it could not get any worse, I will not be able to communicate or help you both what-so-ever once you enter. That place's energy is too powerful for my third eye to locate your minds. You must be absolutely careful and ready before you do this." A warm smile grew on his tan lips. "We will meet each other soon, reunited."

The dark one and the boy both nodded with determined expression. Atem made a smirk and gave them both a peck on the lips.

Yami blushed lightly with an angry frown while Yugi covered his cheeks in embarrassment.

"Tch. I do not know why you both are acting so bashful. I have witnessed you two doing unspeakably devious things to each other."

Yami's jaw practically dropped. "Perverted fuck! Do not say that shit in front of Yugi!"

"Language..."

"Fuck you!"

"Gladly."

Yugi groaned, annoyed. "Just stop."

That made Atem laugh. He gave one last smile and slowly waved his hand in front of their eyes.

Ruby and amethyst eyes snapped wide open.

It was funny for a second there, they both sat up and looked at each other at the same time. Yugi made a small smile, that seemed genuine this time. Yami made a slight smile back, knowing that they were both glad to be back together again. It was a nice little moment they were having.

Until they kept staring with their smiles faltering, and passion once again began to grow in their eyes.

The needed to embrace love, to cherish it. To take advantage of it, to use it in lustful ways. Welp...Yami would clean the couch later.

The dark one gripped the smaller one's shoulders tightly and seized his lips within his own. Yugi yelped at the sudden action, but soon felt himself kissing back. He was keeping up with Yami as much as he could. He was so rough...He bit his lip a little. And soon, he felt his tongue enter. They were in this situation before...Right before Yami got captured by Pegasus. Yami almost had his way with Yugi on his couch. But that was before his home was destroyed by Venom.

No...

He could not think of that bastard right now. Right now, he just wanted to focus on himself, and the one he loved.

After a good few minutes of intense french kissing, Yugi felt Yami kiss his cheek. He then moved downwards, kissing his neck while caressing his round face. Yugi slightly panted from the kiss, and his heated expression only grew more as he watched his boyfriend go lower. For Yami, Yugi's skin tasted amazing. He kissed down his neck, down his shoulder, and made his way to the center of his chest. He seized the collar of his shirt and ripped it in half, sending buttons and some strings of fabric on the floor. Yugi whimpered at his aggressive behavior. The dark one held the boy close and began attacking his small torso with kisses and licks. Yugi gasped, never has Yami touched his bare body. He nipped at the two pink nubs on his chest, causing the boy to moan.

The dark one noticed, Atem was right. They were no better than he was right now. And as much as Yami wanted to continue, he just couldn't. He wanted to do so much to Yugi. Such sinful things. He didn't want to take away his innocence yet. Not yet. Sighing with a disappointed expression, he stopped his actions and began to move away from Yugi.

He hated not being able to take him. Sure, they didn't need to have sex, but he needed something to put this tension inside of him down. Yugi looked puzzled, his eyes filled with lust and confusion. The perfect face of a virgin. That only made Yami's tension worse. "Listen, I cannot go any further. I might end up hurting you-"

He was cut off by a small blast of light magic. Thankfully, Yami dodge it. It blasted into the wall behind them, and thank goodness it didn't do much damage. He looked back at Yugi with a baffled expression. "The fuck did you do that for-" Once again he was cut off. This time, by Yugi gripping him by the neck with one hand. Much to the dark one's surprise, the grip was tight, and it actually hurt. Another surprise, was that Yugi looked angry. His eyes dangerously low, not having those innocent wide eyes anymore. The color of his pretty amethyst purple, was no longer. It was a dark violet. His scowl seemed subtle, like it was hiding deep fury inside.

"No one told you to stop."

...Was his only words.

And to those words, Yami felt a huge turn on.

Yugi let go of Yami, his eyes fading back to their brighter shade of purple. He blinked, just realizing what he said and did. He blushed and covered his mouth, while Yami made a mischievous smirk.

"Oh my..." Yami purred.

"N-No! I-I didn't mean that at all! S-Shut up!"

"You naughty little thing." Yami found his way on top of Yugi again. Yugi's face turned completely red, which the dark one found rather cute. He began to take off his jacket and his own shirt. Yugi gulped, not knowing what he just put himself into. He didn't know why he said that, it just happened.

In a few moments, Yami began to leave nothing but hickeys on the small boy's body.

After their heated "love-session", Yugi asked to take a shower, much to Yami's disappointment. However, he allowed him to slip from his grasp to cleanse himself. While he was gone, Yami began to think about his little one.

When he gripped him up and said "No one told you to stop", his expression was scary. His voice was very low, intimidating. His eyes, dark. That was definitely a sign of him turning more and more into a dark creature. That was bad. He could only hope that when worse came to worse, he'd only turn into a twilight-user. Not only that, but they both had to get Atem back tomorrow, they couldn't wait. There was so many things weighing on his mind.

Thump...thump...

Yami put a hand on his chest, feeling his heart pounding pretty fast. He cursed at himself. Just thinking about the two made his heart throb.

It seemed like neither of them was in the mood to eat. The dark one could only imagine how long since Yugi ate something. He didn't seem to get any thinner, so perhaps his supernatural side was taking over, making it so that he didn't need to eat or drink anything like Yami. Perhaps this meant he couldn't age anymore as well. With that, Yami got up and walked towards the stairs to take a nap for the big day tomorrow.

However, once he got up the stairs, he walked past the bathroom and stopped. He took a glance at the little one, who seemed to have just got one showering. He stepped on a towel that was on the floor, and grabbed another to dry himself. Seeing his naked body was a glorious sight to behold, but something wasn't right. Yugi's posture seemed timid, like he was upset about something. He stepped over to the mirror and stared at it with oblivious eyes. His eyes were lowered again. He gently touched his fingers on the reflection, seeing himself in it. His eye slightly twitched. His fingers started to dig in the glass, cracking it. He then stopped and took his fingers away, blood caking his nails. He then swung his fist into the mirror, glass shattering all over the floor.

The boy was looking down at the mess he made, with blood dripping down onto the floor. He blinked once and bent down to clean up his mess.

Yami just stared in shock. The darkness was growing too fast. He was turning too quickly! He prayed that nothing horrible would happen tomorrow because of his darkness. He sighed stressfully and walked to the bedroom, trying not to worry about anything else. He flopped onto the soft mattress and closed his eyes once comfortable.

He heard the door creak and some footsteps. The bed slightly shook, making Yami open one eye. It was his little one, taking off the towel. He sighed, which sounded sad. Yami scooted over to make room, and Yugi laid next to Yami closely. He wrapped his small arms around his strong abdomen and hugged him close. He laid his head on his stomach. The elder made a small smile as the younger closed his eyes. He finally seemed at peace.

Despite Poison's little confrontation, Akefia barely cared. So he ripped off Venom's head, so the hell what?

He laughed. The dumb fool must have thought he killed him. Nothing a little stitching and magic can't cure. With one more pull, Akefia tightened the strings and cut off the final thread. He took a look at his work and smirked. Good as new.

Venom put a hand on the back of his neck and gave it a good crack. He blinked and looked up at his master. He grinned. He got on his knees and bowed with his hands beside his newly reattached head. "Thank you, master!" He gratefully kissed the ground that he stood on, literally.

Akefia crossed his arms and made a small frown. "I'm a bit disappointed in you, Venom." Venom looked up at his master with frightened eyes, not liking what he heard. "This is the second time that Poison has taken you down with barely any effort. He is too strong for you. If Poison was able to decapitate you with no trouble, that means you need to get stronger."

Venom nodded obediently.

Akefia took hold of his shoulder, and pulled him back on his feet. He smirked and pulled him very close. He licked his tongue down his cheek, and licked his lips. "And I know just how to give it you. Get on your hands and knees."

Venom's smile came back, hopeful. It almost looked innocent. He nodded and got on all fours, staring at his master for another order.

Akefia continued to smirk as he began to undo his Egyptian robes.

Midnight. Yugi lay fast asleep in Yami's arms. The latter was smiling in his sleep. His dream...it was...

Yugi moaned loudly. Yami was thrusting so fast, and so hard, he couldn't take much more left. He gripped the sheets roughly, the bed rocked back and forth with such force. He felt as if he was about to fall off the bed. Yami held onto him tightly as he went in and out.

Suddenly, they heard the door creak open. Yugi smiled a little. It was their other lover joining them.

The former king smiled at the two. He was nude. He slowly walked towards Yami and got behind him quickly. Yami moaned as he felt him kissing his neck, his weak spot. Yugi gently lifted himself off of Yami and got between the two lovers. He kissed them both and placed his hands on their chests.

They were all so wrapped up in their love making, neither of the two men noticed the evil smirk the smaller one made.

They also didn't notice that he just shoved his small hands right through their chests.

Atem didn't scream, he only closed his eyes as blood flowed down his lips. Yami just couldn't handle the pain.

He screamed...

...And woke up gasping. He sat straight up and looked around. He was out of breath, panting heavily. Sweating.

Also, he didn't feel any warmth beside him.

"Where's Yugi..!?"

He wasn't in bed anymore. Where the hell could he be? And where would he go? Why would he leave at all? At this time of the night? Could he have been captured?! He immediately got up and bolted down the stairs. He ran outside and yelled out for his little one. "Yugi!?" He heard loud slamming, and the ground slightly shook. The hell was that? It seemed to have come to the back of the house. Yami ran to the back, where a lonely garage was. He didn't sense any unruly beings in the area, but he did sense Yugi, much to his relief. He saw some of trees shaking. He then began to slow down, because he found what he was looking for.

It was Yugi, but something was wrong. He was charging magic into his hands and punching the trees. The worse part? It was dark magic. The shadow-walker was full-blown anxious now. Yugi didn't have much innocence left. The little one must have felt his presence, because he stopped and slowly looked back at Yami.

"Yami." His voice was quiet, and his voice was deep again. This was very, very bad...

"Come on. Come back inside so we can get some rest. I just had a nightmare and I didn't have a teddy bear to hang on to." He said playfully, but his emotions didn't feel the same.

He suspected, that he might actually be scared at what might happen in the next few hours.

Yugi didn't laugh at his little joke. He only nodded and walked past him.
