So, I updated for you guys, proves how much I love ya'll. Though, I really love the ending for this chapter, tis funny. Anyway, I do not own Yugioh, enjoy!
Chapter 29
"Yeah, but how am I supposed to sneak off for three hours, possibly more?" Yugi asked in a hushed voice.
They were in the library at the Grey Stone Palace, filling out college applications. They had all been bed ridden the day before thanks to their time in the frigid ocean water the day before. So they all met up today here to get their applications filled out. Yugi was filling them out for any and all schools, since you could become a teacher anywhere. Jou was filling it out for Cooking schools in all parts of the world, France, Australia, Mexico, New York, just all over. Ryou was filling out applications for Photography in American cities. Malik was applying for places like Harvard and Yale, it was known to very few people outside of their group that Malik wanted to be a lawyer.
He had been inspired by the most unlikely source to become one, his drunken Father. He wanted to make sure that no other child had to live with an abusive Parent. He wanted to fight for those who had no voice to fight for themselves, because the legal system deemed them as not being able to know what was best for themselves. If the legal system had listened to Malik sooner, then he wouldn't have been forced to live with his Father until he was 12 and Ishizu 18. They would have been moved out of that house that very first night he went to the hospital for a large gash across his back that came from a broken beer bottle. Those were his reasons for becoming a lawyer, and he could defend them for hours to anybody who told him that his reasons for wanting to become a lawyer were childish and just a pipe dream at best.
"Sneak off where?" a voice spoke up from behind him making him jump a mile high in his seat.
"Oh, you scared me, Atem." Yugi said turning in his seat clutching his thumping heart.
"Well, perhaps if you hadn't been whispering so secretly I wouldn't have scared you." Atem said back smirking as Yami appeared at his elbow.
"Well, you should have made your presence known." Yugi retaliated.
"I did, I spoke up. Sneak off where?" Atem drew the conversation back to the point at hand.
"Uh, nowhere important." Yugi said turning back around.
"Well, if it's nowhere important, you wouldn't mind sharing its location." Yami said sweetly.
"I'm hungry, who's hungry?" Yugi asked even though they had all just eaten not five minutes ago.
"I am." Jou offered.
"Same here." Ryou said standing up.
"I'm in." Malik shrugged. They gathered up their papers and put them in a neat little pile before trying to move around the pack of vampires blocking their way.
"You just ate, according to the kitchen staff, three minutes ago." Mahad said crossing his arms.
"But we're young teenage boys, we're always hungry." Malik argued.
"A bottomless pit, one could even argue." Jou added.
"You don't regenerate hungry that fast, Jou. It takes at least ten minutes for that to happen." Seth pointed out.
"We ate some broccoli recently?" Yugi tried.
"It takes an hour before the side effects show up." Marik rebutted.
"What's wrong with getting a jump start on them?" Malik asked.
"Where, Yugi?" Atem asked again.
"Nowhere today, promise." Yugi said kissing him on the cheek before slipping past him. Or trying to. Yami grabbed his wrist before he could get too far.
"Come on, just tell us." Yami pestered.
"Don't you guys have a meeting to be getting back to today?" Yugi asked avoiding the question.
"No, we're done for the day." Seth answered.
"Really?" Jou asked his face lighting up. The only face in the room that didn't light up at the news was Ryou's.
"Oh, then I guess I'll just be going now." he said quietly taking his papers from the stack.
"Nonsense, you can come with us, Ryou." Yugi said waving him off.
"But it's a couples thing, Yugi." Ryou said back.
"So let's get Bakura a wheelchair and bring him and Akeifa along." Malik said like the task was easy.
"Okay." Ryou said grinning and setting his papers back down on the table.
"Where are we going to get a wheelchair?" Jou asked confused.
"Don't worry, I know the perfect place." Malik said confidently.
[Time skip]
"So, does everyone know what their job is?" Malik asked as they stood outside in the parking lot.
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
"I still think this is a bad idea." Atem said shaking his head.
"It's only one, it's not like we're taking all of them, just one." Malik said waving him off.
"You could get in a lot of trouble for this if you're caught." Seth said for the umpteenth time.
"We don't care, and it's not like we haven't been held overnight in a cell before." Jou said waving him off.
"We?" Yami asked.
"Yeah, all four of us. We probably would have been held longer if Seto hadn't bailed us out." Jou said like it was no big deal.
"When? Where? And why?" Mahad asked. He decided to tag along.
"That's a story for another time. Now, to get that wheelchair." Ryou said smacking his hands together and walking confidently towards the front doors.
"Ryou, wait, up!" Yugi shouted running after him.
The plan was for Ryou and Yugi to create a distraction so Malik and Jou could get the wheelchair. Since they were so cute, and innocent looking it shouldn't be that hard. It actually turned out that pulling off a distraction in a Hospital is a lot easier than anyone thought it would be as Yugi walked in leaning on Ryou moaning about stomach pains and not knowing what was wrong. While everyone was fussing over them, Malik and Jou managed to grab a chair, take off its flag and leave all without being seen. Once they were out, the tricky part would be escaping for Ryou and Yugi. Though, even that was easy, since the nurses left them alone in the room for about a minute on the bottom floor. They just snuck out the window, and hastened around to the front of the Hospital where everyone was waiting for them.
"Let's get out of here before they start checking the cameras for us." Ryou said as they ran past them towards Akeifa's woods.
"Yeah, then they'll see they lost a little more than just a patient." Malik said laughing as Jou pushed him in the chair.
"I can't believe that actually worked." Yami said shaking his head.
"Makes you wonder if they've done it before." Mahad said.
"Oh, we have, and were reprimanded for it severely!" Yugi answered shouting it back to them.
"How much do we know about him?" Yami asked Atem.
"Apparently not enough." Atem said shaking his head.
"Why did we rush into a mating relationship with this kid again?" Yami asked. Yugi looked back at them; he kind of wanted to know the answer to that too. Atem whispered the answer in his ear though, making it impossible for him to hear.
"Oh, yeah." Yami said grinning. So it couldn't have been a bad thing. Yugi turned back around just in time to stop himself from smacking into a tree. He didn't know why but a strange sense of déjà vu washed over him as he backed away from the tree. It was the same type of déjà vu that he had had when he had been trying to get away from Ushio that one time, when he had jumped out of the bathroom window. He shook his head trying to get rid of the feeling.
"Are you okay?" Yami asked suddenly at his side.
"Yeah, just a weird feeling of déjà vu is all. I'm not sure where it's coming from I can't remember running into any trees ever, and yet I can't shake the feeling that I have. Weird huh?" Yugi said scratching the back of his head before looking up at Yami.
"Very." Yami said nodding.
"We got him!" Ryou cheered joyfully skipping back towards them through the trees, Akeifa right behind him, pushing Bakura in the wheelchair.
"Alright, one of you spill, where did the chair come from?" Akeifa asked. Clearly he hadn't gotten an answer from Ryou.
"Shhh, it's a secret." Yugi whispered.
"No it is not, Mutou!" Akeifa shouted back.
"Do you really want to know where they got it from?" Yami asked.
"Just the way you asked that makes me think the answer should be no, and yet it is also so obvious at the same time. It came from a Hospital, didn't it?" Akeifa asked. Yami nodded once.
"This is what, the sixth time they've stolen a chair from the Hospital since we met them?" Akeifa asked in what could clearly be considered as only a frustrated voice as he rubbed his temples.
"Sixth?" Seth deadpanned.
"Since we met them." Akeifa added.
"And they've only been reprimanded once?" Marik asked.
"Reprimanded? When were they reprimanded? As I recall the last time we allowed them to drop it off, they were arrested." Akeifa said.
"Allowed them to?" Atem asked.
"Yeah, it saves so much time and hassle if one of us supernatural's just drops it off in a blur of speed." Akeifa sighed.
"Alright, we have Akeifa and Bakura, now where are we going?" Mahad asked moving the conversation off of the wheelchair.
All four just grinned before motioning for their counterparts to follow them, as they turned around and headed off in their desired direction. Yugi felt one of them brush his mind in hopes of getting the location that way, but Yugi simply put up a one-way glass barrier against the intrusion. No way was it going to be that easy.
"Oh come on Yugi, that's cheating." Yami complained from behind him.
"Nu uh, it's a surprise, but you're going to love it all the same." Yugi said back.
"We don't like surprises." Atem complained.
"I know, but you'll get used to them." Yugi said in a solemn voice.
"Come on, Yugi, you know you want to tell me." Atem said in highly suggestive voice drawing his face up to look up at him.
"Yeah, I do." Yugi said nodding looking up at him completely caught in his trance. Yami sighed shaking his head off to the side.
"Yugi! No!" Jou shouted trying to get to his aid but being restrained by Seth.
"So tell me." Atem said in that same voice.
"You're pretty. Your eyes shine like rubies. Your skin is so soft and bronze. Your hair is so glamorous the way it sticks up like that. And you have a very nice body that I love to look at when unclothed. I wanna kiss you." Yugi told him standing up on his tippy toes and trying to. Yami was muffling his laughter into his hand along with everyone else.
"Well that…failed." Yami barely managed to get out. Atem sighed and snapped his fingers in front of Yugi's kissy face. Yugi blinked twice before glaring at Atem and shaking his head in slight disappointment.
"Are you going to try that again?" Yugi asked.
"Probably not, no." Atem said shaking his head.
"Good." Yugi said before taking the lead and walking on.
"That was hilarious!" Malik crowed holding his stomach.
"Maybe for you, but I just told him what I really thought of his physical features." Yugi grimaced.
"So what d you think of Yami's?" Ryou asked.
"Almost the same thing." Yugi said shaking his head.
"It's too bad you didn't tell them what you really thought of them." Jou sighed.
"What's to tell?" Yugi asked in a nervous voice.
"That you love them?" they all asked.
"Ugh, not this again." Yugi groaned out.
"Admit it, Yugi." Malik said.
"No, I can't. I-I don't." Yugi stuttered out wrapping his arms around himself.
"Yes, you do." Ryou assured him wrapping an arm around his shoulders.
"No I can't possibly, not without knowing myself first." Yugi said shaking his head.
"The first step is admitting it out loud, if not to them." Jou assured.
"No, I'm not ready, I can't do it!" Yugi said jerking himself out of Ryou's grasp and taking two quick steps forward into Yami's arms who had suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Why are you distressing our mate so much?" Yami asked looking at them with a stern eye.
"We're just trying to get him to admit that he loves you two." Ryou said shrugging.
"Well stop it! We want him to come to us with that on his own, not because he's being pressured to." Yami said sternly.
"We just thought you wanted to hear him say it." Jou said looking at his shoes.
"We do, but in his own time. You wouldn't like it if anyone pressured you to tell Marik or Seth that you love them, would you?" Atem asked with a slightly cold tone behind them.
"No, I guess I never thought of it like that." Malik said slowly.
"Seth already knows how I feel about him." Jou said crossing his arms.
"I thought we were going on a date? A big group date?" Bakura asked in bored voice.
"Is that what this is?" Mahad asked in a confused voice.
"Yes, Ryou dragged me out of the warmth of our cave for a 'group date we just had to go on'." Bakura said nodding while placing his hands on his huge belly.
"Yeah, come on." Yugi said sliding out of Yami's arms and grabbing his wrist and starting to pull him along.
"You know Yugi, you never answered our question of where you're planning to sneak off to." Yami said.
"It's a surprise." He answered mysteriously.
"Which one? Sneaking off or the location?" Atem asked in a slightly annoyed voice.
"The location, silly. If I told you where I was going it would ruin the surprise for later." Yugi said reaching back and grabbing his hand.
"We're okay with that." Yami said.
"Why can't you just trust me? I mean I know I damaged it with my little stunt, but haven't I proved that I trust you guys completely. I mean I even told you my name, my full name. Just trust me." Yugi stressed in an aggravated sigh.
"Trust you? Easy. Done. Trust others that come in contact with you? Yeah, not going to happen." Yami said shaking his head. Yugi sighed and let the go as he passed through a seemingly random pair of black gates.
"Yuuugi?" Atem called after him a little wary of the ominous black gates.
"Are the vampires scared?" Yugi goaded.
"No, we're scared for you, because you seem to lack some fear." Atem said back.
"Come on you scaredy cats." Yugi said grinning walking through slipping through a big brown wooden door.
"Yugi!" he heard them shout. He chuckled to himself as he heard the door creak open and walked through the curtain at the end of the hall.
"Welcome my child, to Heavens Gates." The woman at the podium said as soon as she saw him.
"Boat for three, on the third ride." Yugi whispered to her as he heard his mates creep up behind him and wrap their arms around his waist.
"Of course, you pay at the end." She said in that same voice she used before. Yugi nodded as a boat came to a stop in front of them.
"Come on, into the boat." Yugi said walking forward with some difficulty.
Getting into the boat was even more so as he had to practically drag them into it. The boat was just starting to move when Ryou, Akeifa, and Bakura came through. Akeifa and Bakura looked just as apprehensive as Yami and Atem. Yugi grinned at Ryou giving him a thumbs up which he returned.
A door to their immediate right slid down and opened, and the boat was rocked that way and through the door. When it closed it was pitch black, and Yugi felt his vampires cling to him. He didn't know why they were so scared, they could see in the dark, couldn't they, or was that just a myth? No, Mahad said they could see in the dark, so why were they clinging to him? Their grips lessened all so slightly at his thought process, which made him wonder when he had let his shields down. Oh well, he'd worry about that mishap later. Something was moving front of him.
Two small flares of light lit up in front of them, two matches by the looks of them. They lit up extremely pale faces, a mockery of Vampires. Yugi bit his lip, he had forgotten that they were in here, thank Kami they were the only ones. They grabbed a black curtain with clawed fingers and pulled it to the side at the same time allowing the boat to go through. Yugi could feel the disgust for all the makeup coming from both sides of the link.
"Pretty prey." They whispered as they passed. Yugi dropped his face into his hands, he really should have chosen a different path, he really should have.
"So mortified." Atem whispered in his ear as torches flared up around them.
"J-just enjoy the ride." Yugi said pushing his head away as a couple walked ahead of them holding hands. There back was to them, but Yugi still jumped even though he knew what was coming when they turned around.
The girl's jaw was coming off, and the boy had his eyes sown shut. They took steps towards them before just seeming to sink into a hole in the ground. Yugi knew they had really stepped on the platform.
"What kind of date is this?" Yami asked.
"A different one." Yugi answered.
"Why didn't we come here for Halloween?" Atem asked.
"Because it's not open for Halloween." Yugi said laughing as the next actors came up. There was an older couple watching a little girl on a swing. She pointed at her and looked imploringly to her husband, and it looked so ordinary, until you passed them. The woman was missing an arm, the man had his throat ripped out, and the girl's chest was ripped open, the ribs sticking out, you could still see her heart beating in her chest.
"Aren't these great special effects?" Yugi asked looking ahead instead of at the actors and actresses.
"Who took you the first time you came?" Yami asked in a strained voice.
"Sakura." Yugi answered easily.
"Big surprise." Atem said sounding as if he was rolling his eyes.
A dummy dropped down in front of them swinging on a rope by its neck. Atem and Yami jumped, scooting closer to Yugi in the process. He shoved it out of their way as they came up on two poorly represented werewolves. They were standing on their hind legs and were licking their front paws of their last meal. They pulled the curtain aside as they snapped playfully at Atem and Yami because they were on the ends. Yami and Atem hissed back defensively at them.
"Vampires never behave." One of them whispered as the curtain swung shut behind them.
The next scene was better, more lovey dovey. There were doves flying overhead, and white candles flared up on the outside. Bunnies could be seen hopping in the fake grass here and there. He could feel confusion filtering strongly over the link. He just patted their shoulders in an understanding way. He was confused too the first time he came here, of how it could go from that to this so quickly.
The same girl from before came skipping through throwing flower petals on them with a bright cheery grin. She hopped down into the water and skipped over to the other side and out of sight. He could feel even more confusion passing through the link.
"Isn't that…?" Yami trailed off.
"How did she…?" Atem trailed off too.
"They change fast." Yugi supplied as the couple from earlier came through. The boy was chasing her with a can of silly string, before catching her around the waist and swinging her around. They clasped hands and ran off disappearing from view.
Last was the soon to be Mother and Father. The Father kissed the woman's belly before looking at her with pride and love in his eyes. She gently kissed him on the lips, before gasping and smiling, he supported her as they walked off.
He heard Atem and Yami moan in…want? If they wanted a pregnancy, than why not mate with a woman? They would have gotten their wish, no problem, Yugi thought with a sour attitude as they came upon the humans who opened the last curtain for them. They smiled until they were past them.
Mock sunlight filtered in from overhead. Trees formed a filtered canopy for it, so it only fell in certain spots like on the first scene. The Mother and Father were cooing over the infant in the Mother's arms. Atem and Yami were definitely whining with want now. Yugi huffed drawing their attention back to him.
"If you wanted that, you should have mated with a woman." Yugi said as they passed the scene.
"Don't worry, Yugi, when you're ready, we'll have kids." Atem whispered kissing his forehead. Yugi frowned, somehow he felt like those words had a double meaning to them, but he didn't know how that was possible. The only way for them to have a double meaning was if he could…but no, they had said it was impossible. Yugi shook his head and turned to the next scene. The girl was laying down looking up at the sky and smiling. She suddenly perked up and smiled wider before dashing away.
The last scene was of a young boy holding out a daisy to a young girl sitting on a fence. She took it with a hesitant smile nodding, and he grinned widely leaning in to kiss her cheek. She blushed a light pink color before glancing over her shoulder. She nodded again before running off. He pumped his fist into the air in victory, before shoving his hands into his pockets and walking off.
A black door slid open and they pulled out into the area that they were in before. Yugi stood up, rocking the boat a little, and climbed out. He grinned as he turned to his mates.
"Want to go down another path?" he asked.
"No." they both said firmly climbing out themselves as Yugi fished out his wallet and paid the $25.00 for the ride.
"Want to go get something to eat?" Yugi asked.
"Sure, let's go get you something to eat." Yami said nodding.
"Kay, just let me text the guys." Yugi said taking out his phone.
Hey, we're going to take off to the Bloody Snack.-Yugi
Okay, I'll let the others know. Maybe we'll meet you there.-Jou
Right, I'll see if I can get the room in the back.-Yugi
Don't forget Seto's credit card.-Jou
I have the number memorized.-Yugi
See you later maybe.-Jou
See you maybe.-Yugi
"Let's go." Yugi said cheerfully.
"Where are we going?" Atem asked wrapping an arm around his waist.
"A restaurant." Yugi answered seriously.
"Oh, you're funny." Yami said.
"Glad you find my answer amusing." Yugi said grinning.
"Seriously though, where are we going?" Yami asked draping an arm over his shoulders.
"To the left." Yugi said pointing and steering them that way.
"Yugi."
"Atem."
"Fine, don't tell us, what was that ride called?" Yami asked.
"Weren't you listening? It's called Heavens Gates."
"Fine, what was the one we went on called? Don't think we didn't notice two other doors." Atem pushed.
"Oh, random zombies. The first door is called heavenly love, and the second …actually I don't know what the second one is called, as I've never been on it. We should have gone on that one instead." Yugi pouted.
"No, we're going to eat now. We'll go on it a different day." Atem shot down.
"Well I wasn't suggesting we go on it today silly." Yugi said shaking his head and taking a sharp right across the street.
"Whoa, you know we're still connected to you; a little warning would be nice." Atem complained.
"But where is the fun in that?" Yugi asked taking another sharp right straight into a dark and shady kind of restaurant.
"I think we should find a different place to eat." Yami suggested.
"Nah, this place is fine." Yugi said shrugging off their arms and going to talk to the host.
"Hell-oh, it's you."
"Now is that any way to greet a paying customer?" Yugi asked in mock hurt.
"What room will you be trashing this time? And will Seto Octavia Kaiba be paying for both the room and damages done?" they asked in a bored voice.
"Number six if it's available, and yes and yes."
"Card number."
"4526 6324 9811 8666."
"Okay, here's the room key, and I'm assuming some other home wreckers will probably be arriving?"
"Maybe."
"I'll let the boss know you're here." He said hopping off his stool and heading towards the Employees Only door.
"Come on!" Yugi said motioning to them and leading them towards the back of the restaurant.
"Home wreckers?" Atem asked.
"Ah, yeah, last time we were here we caused a little mess. We weren't kicked out exactly, mainly because Kaiba paid for all the damages made, but we were advised not to come back for at least six months. It's been a year and a half; I was kind of hoping they forgot our faces. Did I ever mention that I was a bit of wild child before Sarugaki took complete control my life?" Yugi said nervously tapping his two pointer fingers together.
"So, this room?" Yami asked shaking his head.
"This way!" Yugi said excitedly leading them on. He stopped in front of door with the number six on it, before putting the key in and opening it slowly for dramatic effect.
It was red. Red sofas, red comfy chairs, red drapery, red carpet, red walls, it was very very red. The tables were black, the bar was black, the stools were black, and the doors were black. Atem and Yami stood there gaping at it. Yugi looked up at the number at the door again, yep, it said six.
"Wow, they changed the scheme of this room. It used to be a cheery blue with sea green furniture." Yugi said slowly walking more into the room. The door snapped shut behind him, but he didn't even flinch or whirl around. He was used to it.
"Whoa!"
He had suddenly been scooped up into a pair of arms and placed on a chair. Atem straddled him and started to suck on his neck. Yami slipped onto the arm of the chair, and drew his head up to meet his lips. Atem's mouth moved down, as Yami distracted him, to start ripping the buttons of his shirt off with his teeth. Yugi gasped as he felt a breath ghosting over his collar bones. He wrapped his hands into Yami's shirt pulling him down even more, into a needier kiss. Yami complied all too willingly, and braced his hands on the back of the chair and on Atem's back. The fact that his friends could walk in on them at any moment completely left his mind at the double assault he was receiving.
Atem moaned as Yugi shifted one of his hands from Yami's shirt to lower down on his body. Yugi pulled away from Yami briefly to breathe before attacking those already bruised lips with more feverish kisses. He toyed with Atem's pants button until Atem grabbed that hand and wound it around his own neck. Yugi released Yami's mouth and shifted slightly to get at his neck. He bit down, hard, making Yami grunt before he soothed the mark with his tongue and starting to make a deep bruise on his neck. It had been far too long since he walked around without a sign of showing just who he belong to. Yugi shifted more, hearing Atem make a sound of protest but he wasn't exactly paying attention to it, as he was trying to get high enough so he could straddle Yami.
When Yugi came up to look at the mark he was creating on Yami, he was one: satisfied with how dark it was, and two: surprised to find himself on top of both of his mates. He simply shrugged it off and leant down so he could shower Atem with the same treatment. He too had gone far too long without a mark marring his skin. Atem snorted, before Yami shimmied down and out from underneath Yugi. He pushed both of them deeper into the chair, maybe they should have done this on the sofa, and pressed his rock hard erection against Yugi's lower back.
Yugi moaned at the feeling as he continued to suck at Atem's throat. Yami reached around to undo Yugi's pants but he grabbed his hands stopping their actions and instead put them on Atem's. The button came out and Yami slipped his hands in. They froze for a second upon feeling the size and length, but seemed to shrug it off and continued to give Atem a hand job.
Yugi pulled away from Atem's neck to see an even darker mark on him than on Yami, it made him glow with pride a little. Moving down, he pulled off Atem's pants, and moved Yami's hands out of the way. He blew on the erection before him, making it harden even more, before putting it into his mouth.
"Oh, Ra! Yugi!" Atem cried out. Yugi felt his hips tense, but he kept himself from bucking them in and out of Yugi's mouth, something he was very grateful for. He sucked his way up and down the shaft until Atem came within his mouth. He still couldn't swallow it all, but they assured him with a little more practice it would be no problem. Yugi turned around to Yami and was about to undo his button on his pants when he saw the door handle turning slightly. He shot up and sat in Atem's lap so fast, you'd think he had been sitting there the entire time. Reality? He was just hiding Atem's junk from whoever was about to come in.
"Oh, so you are in this room, Yugi. The guy at the front wasn't lying then." Malik said coming into the room with Marik right behind him.
"Of course I am. Did you notice the change in color?" Yugi asked motioning to the room. Malik looked up and around and while he was slightly distracted Yugi quickly pulled Atem's pants up. Marik shook his head tsking at them.
"I'm so not sitting in that chair." He said.
"What chair?" Malik asked with pure innocence.
"Hey Malik, want to go find someone who's willing to serve us?" Yugi asked jumping off Atem and grabbing his arm without really waiting for an answer.
"Uh, sure." Malik responded as he was bodily dragged out of the room.
"You guys are so bad." Marik said before the door shut all the way.
Yugi and Malik wandered around the bottom floor looking for someone to serve them when they bumped into two waitresses who looked bored out of their minds. They perked up, all smiles when they saw Yugi and Malik headed for them. They fixed their hair and clothes quickly before looking at them in a way that was supposed to be sexy. Too bad they were barking up the wrong trees.
"Hello ladies, would one of you be willing to be serve room six which our boyfriends and us are currently occupying?" Yugi asked politely. Their smiles dropped slightly before perking back up.
"N-" the girl on the right started to say.
"I'll take them girls." A hauntingly familiar voice said from behind them placing a hand on her shoulder. Yugi's eyes widened.
"Of course, Kelly."
"Yeah, they're all yours." The other said before they slunk away.
"Room six you said?" she asked.
"Uh huh." Yugi said nodding dumbly.
"Alright, just let me clock in, and I'll be right with you." She said smiling in a very friendly way.
"Alright, we'll meet you back there." Malik said nodding before grabbing Yugi's arm and tugging on it.
"You okay?" Malik asked as soon as they were back near room six.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Yugi said shaking it off.
"You sure, you look like you've see a ghost." Malik persisted.
"Yeah, I'm fine it was just a slight shock to see her, that's all." Yugi said.
"Do we know her?" Malik asked opening the door to room six.
"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR EXCUSE IS! YOU KNOW THE RULES BLOOD SUCKER NO DATES WITH MY BOYFRIEND UNLESS I'M PRESENT!" Seto was shouting.
"Whoa! What did we miss?" Malik asked looking at the Seth and Kaiba who were in each other's faces. Jou was sitting on a couch looking bored as he picked at the underside of one of his nails.
"What took you guys so long?" Ryou asked sliding up to them.
"Most of the waitresses were busy, and we couldn't even find a waiter." Yugi explained.
"So you came back for help?" Ryou asked.
"Not exactly." Yugi said looking down at his shoes just as someone bumped into them from behind.
"Oh, my bad, I wasn't aware that anyone was standing in the doorway. Hello, my name is Kelly, and I'll be your server tonight." She said in a very girlish voice something very different from what Yugi had heard her use so far. He looked up at her, before going to sit in Yami's lap. His arms immediately encased him, pulling him closer in a tense grip. Yugi could feel him inhaling deeply. He looked over to the door to see Ryou mouthing the word 'you' before edging away to go climb into Bakura's lap who just raised an eyebrow at him. Atem just seemed to be assessing the room, and everyone's behavior.
Atem, that's her. That's the woman who was in the Palace while we were hunting rogues.
Calm yourself, Yami. She's never hurt us.
What do you mean by us?
Uh, nothing, slip of the tongue.
Yugi?
Can…can we just enjoy tonight, please? I don't want to fight.
Fine, we'll discuss this 'us' later.
Or we could just forget all about it. That's an option too.
Nice try, but no.
Lo-li-like you both, a lot.
Yugi, when you're ready. Don't push yourself, just tell us when you're ready, okay?
O-okay.
"And for you three?" Kelly asked turning to them.
"For us three what?" Atem asked back. The room snickered around them.
"And here I heard that you were the master of dividing your attention. Apparently my sources were wrong." Kelly said mockingly.
"What sources?" Atem asked in a demanding tone.
"Mine." She answered.
"Your King asked you a question." Mahad said in a high and mighty voice.
"And I answered." She said.
"I like her." Malik said grinning.
"Yeah, let's add her to our friend group." Jou agreed nodding.
"Thank you, but I prefer to hang out with people my own age." Kelly said smiling in disdain.
"And that would be?" Yugi asked.
"You're choice of food?" she asked looking at Atem.
"Thanks, but I have plenty right here." He said patting Yugi's head.
"If you're not going to eat, get out. I have no time for those whom like to waste mine." Kelly said dropping her professionalism in favor of being stern.
"Chill, we'll take your sweetest vampire wine." Yami answered.
"They don't serve anything but animal blood for vampires here." Yugi whispered to him as Kelly pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration.
"Fine, I'll have snake blood, and Atem will have rabbit's blood." Yami answered.
"And the human?" Kelly asked looking down at him.
"I'll have the lasagna." Yugi said biting his lip.
"With or without green olives on top?" she asked in a bored voice.
"With." Yugi whispered.
"Okay, I'll be back with the blood shortly and the rest of you will have your food when it's ready." Kelly said turning on her heel sharply and leaving.
"She never answered our age question." Ryou said pouting.
"Vampires rarely do. I doubt even Yugi knows how old those two are." Akeifa pointed out. A wicked grin started to creep its way onto Yugi's face.
"Well, actually they're-" Atem slapped a hand over his mouth.
"No, we're going to keep that information between the three of us." Atem said. Yugi said something muffled and incoherent into his hand.
"What was that?" Atem asked stupidly taking his hand away from Yugi's mouth.
"5326 and 4017." Yugi said quickly.
"Baka, you shouldn't have fallen for that. You're too old to!" Yami said smacking Atem upside the head.
"Here is your blood. It's marked with pictures of the animals so it shouldn't be too hard for you to tell the difference." Kelly said placing the tray down and leaving.
"From her tone, you'd think we were children." Atem said glaring at the closed door as he picked up his rabbit blood.
"Um, since you're drinking that, does it mean you don't need to feed from me this week?" Yugi asked in a curious voice.
"No, animal blood keeps us sustained for two or three days then we'll need to feast on it again. So we'll still need your blood." Atem said placing a bloody kiss on the right side of his neck.
"Eww." Yugi said making a face as he wiped it off.
"Hey!" Atem said frowning.
"That's disgusting." Yugi said getting off of Yami's lap and sitting by Jou.
"Would you like it better if I kissed you on the neck, Yugi?" Jou teased. Yugi responded by shoving him away playfully.
Everyone started to talk amongst themselves as they waited for the food to arrive. Ryou pulled out a familiar stack of papers, and Jou, Malik, and Yugi joined him at the bar to finish filling out the College applications. They had all completed their last ones when their food arrived.
Seeing as it was now around five in the evening, they were starving and started to eat with a hidden fervor. When they were done, they started to talk about which school they wanted to get into most. Arguing about whether or not they even had a chance of getting in.
"Come on, Jou, once they see your cooking skills, they won't be able to resist taking you in." Yugi said as he popped the last of his three green olives into his mouth. He swallowed it and almost immediately felt a short headache before it disappeared just a quickly. However, when it passed, Yugi wasn't the same person anymore.
"You okay, Yugi?" Malik asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine Malik." Yugi said turning around in his seat.
"You sure, buddy?" Jou asked.
"Yep! And I see we have extra people added to our party! Where did they come from?" Yugi asked pointing to Atem, Yami, Mahad, and Seth.
"You're joking right?" Atem asked.
"Hi! I'm Yugi! It's nice to meet you…" Yugi said cheerfully holding out his hand toward Atem.
"Atem Kodai."
"Yami Sennen."
"Mahad Purotekuta."
"Seth Kishi."
"Oh, Marik has mentioned you and you before." Yugi said pointing at Atem and Yami.
"He has?" Yami asked looking over at Marik who was frowning at Yugi. He wasn't the only one; there were a lot of frowning in concentration faces in the room.
"Uh huh! He told us once that he has two really good friends named Atem and Yami." Yugi said nodding.
"You said that?" Yami asked Marik.
"Where's Dilan? Did he get lost on the way to the bathroom again?" Yugi asked getting up and making his way towards the door. Ryou gasped as he seemed to catch onto something really important first.
"No! Stop him!" Ryou said in a hushed scared voice. Atem and Yami were only too happy to oblige. One slammed the door as the other scooped him up.
"Hey, what's going on?" Yugi asked as Atem sat him on chair and then sat on him.
"Dilan, my boyfriend isn't going to like this. He can get pretty angry very quickly sometimes." Yugi said with faint traces of fear leaking into his voice and eyes.
"Yugi…Dilan's dead." Yami said quietly.
"No, he's not, he just left for the bathroom." Yugi said pointing at the door.
"Oh, I know what day this." Jou whispered.
"One of the last ones we spent with Yugi, before Sarugaki took complete control of his life, and happiness." Malik gulped.
"It was also the day we were advised to stay away for six months." Ryou said shaking his head.
"I'm calling Isis." Yami said whipping out his phone and speed dialing her number.
"Who's Isis?" Yugi asked curious.
"Your doctor." Atem said.
"No she's not." Yugi said shaking his head.
"Okay, she's your vampire doctor." Atem amended.
"I don't have a vampire doctor." Yugi said back in a confused voice.
"Yes you do." Atem said sternly.
"He doesn't remember us."
"No, we did not give him any water!" Yami shouted into the phone.
"You're right I'm sorry."
"No, just green olives."
"He thinks Dilan is still alive and going to be back from the bathroom at any minute."
"Yes, I'm well aware that vampires don't need to use the bathroom."
"Well nobody told Yugi that."
"You did?"
"How long?"
"I'm sure we'll be able to. Thank you, Isis. Yeah, bye." Yami hung up the phone before leaning down to whisper something in Atem's ear. Atem sighed in relief before getting off of Yugi, and pulling him into his lap.
"I'm serious, he has controlling and possessive issues, and he's not going to like this one bit when he walks through that door." Yugi whined tears starting to come to his eyes in fear.
"Don't worry Yugi, Marik has told us all about your predicament. When Sarugaki gets back, he'll kneel to us, and when he's on the floor we'll tell him he's to relinquish all claims made on you. You're under our protection now." Atem said in a fearsome voice.
"You can do that?" Yugi asked looking up at him with awe.
"I'm King, I most certainly can do that." Atem said lifting his head high. Yugi smiled, really smiled, before jumping off of Atem's lap and going to hug Marik tightly.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Yugi said over and over again before going back to hug Atem and giving him the same amount of thank you's, if not more, as he did Marik.
"You're so welcome, Yugi." Atem whispered into his hair.
If only it were actually that easy.
Either way, Dilan would've been out of his life today.
True, very true.
"Oh Kami, I hear voices in my head and they're not mine." Yugi said in fearful voice his eyes wide.
"Shh, shh, shh, it's okay." Atem said pulling him closer as Yami ran a hand through his hair. Yugi leaned up towards the touch.
Heh, he still likes it.
Stop it, Yami.
"I hear your voices in my head?" Yugi asked confused.
"We'll explain it later." Atem whispered kissing his forehead.
"Okay!" Yugi said in a very accepting voice as the door opened. He clung to Atem, shaking in fear.
"We have another group who wants this room, so you lot need to hit the road." Kelly said rudely.
"But what happens if my boyfriend comes back and I'm not here. Atem will never get to tell him that I'm no longer his blood toy." Yugi said biting his lip.
"What?" she asked looking at Atem and Yami with disgust. A look that went missed by Yugi as he was looking at his feet.
"Please, can we just wait until Dilan gets back and then we'll leave, I promise, we will." Yugi begged slipping onto the floor on his knees.
"Sarugaki? Dartz's mate?" Kelly asked looking so confused.
"Who's Dartz?" Yugi asked innocently.
"Your boyfriends mate." Kelly answered.
"He's cheating on him…with me?" Yugi asked placing his hands over his mouth.
"Yes, you should break up with him immediately." Kelly answered swiftly.
"Oh I will, the next time I see him, we are done!" Yugi said angrily getting up and running out. Only Atem, Yami, and Kelly saw the tears on his face before he vanished. Yami grabbed his applications, said good bye to everyone, Atem threw two $100's on the table, and they vanished after him.
Yugi hadn't gone far, just to the end of the hallway. He stood there shuffling his feet as he waited for them to catch up. When they did they saw that he had wiped his eyes clean of tears.
"I didn't want to face him without you." Yugi said in a small voice looking up at them and then away quickly.
"And you won't have to, ever again. We'll always be here for you, protecting you against any evil that may come your way." Yami said seriously.
"A-always?" Yugi asked looking up at him with wide eyes.
"Yes, always." Yami said wiping away a stray tear that Yugi had missed.
"Oh, th-that's so nice." Yugi said smiling whilst biting his lip.
"Why do you bite your lip?" Atem asked.
"It's a nervous habit." Yugi admitted freely.
"Why are you nervous?" Yami asked moving closer to him slightly.
"I don't know why, I just feel like I should be around you two. But it's a good kind of nervous, one that makes my palms sweaty, my heart beat faster, my thoughts and words come out all jumbled and tongue tied, I like this nervous feeling. It makes me feel very elated inside. Like I'm floating on a cloud of joy. Nothing like how I feel around Dilan. Every time he comes over I feel like I have to watch what I say, think on my toes, watch his emotions and actions, wonder if he'll hit me again for something I did or said. It's very nerve wracking, and I'm glad I'm no longer going to have to deal with it. He scares me, Dilan Abunai Sarugaki scares the life out of me. Every time he bites me, I wonder if he's going to drain me dry this time, or if I'll have another day to live after this one. When he knocks me out after hitting me across the face, I wonder if I'll wake up as I fall unconscious or if this is it, if my life is over. And I don't even know why I'm telling you all of this, I just feel like it's the right thing to do." Yugi ranted and rambled on and on, knotting his hands together.
"I wish you could be this open with us all the time." Yami whispered coming even closer, making Yugi take a hesitant step back.
"W-what do you mean?" he asked his back hitting the wall.
"You're so beautiful." Yami whispered leaning down towards him.
"No I'm not. I'm the most hideous thing to ever walk the face of this planet." Yugi said turning his head away.
"Yugi, look at me." Atem said gently placing a hand under his chin. He looked up without any more need of persuasion.
"Whatever Sarugaki has told you, forget it, just forget it. He's lying to you, he trying to break both your will and confidence. He's trying to break you, don't let him damage your beautiful spirit. You are beautiful, inside and out, don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise." Atem said seriously tracing his jaw with his thumb.
"R-really?" Yugi asked his eyes wide. Their next answer could either send him into tears or trusting them completely without restraint.
"Yes, Yugi, really." Atem said.
"By the way, what are you?" Yugi asked.
"Vampires." Yami answered.
"Oh." Yugi said looking down.
"Is that okay?" Yami asked.
"Um, yeah, but you're not going to bite me everyday are you?" Yugi asked looking up at them with an unsure look.
"No, we were brought up better than that. The most we'll bite you is once a week." Atem assured him.
"Okay, so if you're the King, then you must be the Queen, because I read in Vampires 101 this past semester that the King never goes anywhere without his Queen. He likes to keep him by his side constantly for fear of losing him." Yugi explained knowledgably.
"Hmm, but we like to keep the Prince even closer to us, despite him constantly running off." Yami joked.
"Well, teenagers do like their space, so it's understandable that they don't want to be under their parent's constant wings anymore." Yugi said back giggling slightly. Atem and Yami shared a look before looking back down at him.
"The Prince isn't our child, he's our lover." Atem said before swiftly placing his lips over Yugi's. Yugi froze, before melting into it. It just felt so right, he didn't know why, but it did. He wrapped his arms around the back of Atem's neck wondering briefly how much trouble he would get into later with Dilan for this.
"Get a room." Someone said as they passed.
"We had one, someone kicked us out." Yami said back.
Yugi's eyes snapped open. That was right he was supposed to wait in that room for Dilan to get back. He wasn't allowed to leave. Leaving had dastardly consequences for him. And this, this kiss would get him beaten for sure. With a small noise, he unwound his hands from around Atem's neck, placed them flat against his chest and pushed. He couldn't believe he had actually kissed him back. He was doing the same thing to Dilan as he was doing to his own mate.
"Yugi?" Atem asked questioningly.
"I can't. I can't do the same thing to Dilan, no matter had mean he may be, I can't do the same thing to him that he's doing to someone else. I'm just not that kind of person." Yugi said sadly turning to go back to the room.
"Wait, where are you going?" Yami asked grasping his elbow.
"To the room. If I'm not there when he gets back, he'll drag me back, beat me, and then tell me how much it's my fault that he had to react that way." Yugi said solemnly.
"Atem, he's not coming back for six days, and this place does have a closing hour. Yugi couldn't stay; he was shaking like a leaf when we left." Malik muttered as he passed.
"Where'd you go?" Yami asked keeping a firm grip on Yugi.
"We took him to his Grandpa's. He stayed there for six days until Sarugaki returned. That was the last time he was really ever truly happy for a really long time." Ryou said looking at the ground in what could only be described as shame.
"Why are you guys talking like this day already happened?" Yugi asked in pure confusion.
"He's right why are you talking like that?" Atem asked.
"Because I had a dream about it last night, and shared it with Ryou." Malik said quickly.
"And it sounded like a really scary dream." Ryou agreed before grabbing Malik and leaving.
"So, since we're being kicked out of here, is there anything you really want to do? Something that Sarugaki doesn't let you do anymore that you used to do all the time?" Yami asked releasing him.
"Well, there is one thing." Yugi said biting his lip and looking down at his shoes.
"We promise not to tell. We'll just keep this one thing between the three of us." Atem said winking at him.
"Promise?" Yugi asked looking up with wide eyes.
"Definitely." They said together nodding.
"K-Kaiba Land?" Yugi asked chewing on his lip again.
"Well, let's go!" Atem and Yami said grabbing an arm and taking off with him. Not one of them noticed Kelly looking on with amusement, or a shadow step up behind her. She turned, whispered something into their ear, and watched as they took off after them at leisurely pace.
"If only bad memories could be erased so simply, the world would be a much happier place." Kelly said quietly looking down at her hands.
[Time skip]
"Ha ha ha, I guess we got a bit carried away there, sorry." Atem said grimacing.
"The world is spinning in circles, is it supposed to be doing that?" Yugi asked.
"Aww, that's so cute." Yami cooed.
"Come on, just help me get him off the ground." Atem chuckled reaching down to pull Yugi up from his laying position on the ground.
"So what do you want to do first?" Yami asked.
"That!" Yugi said pointing at the biggest roller coaster the park had to offer.
"Okay." Yami and Atem said looking up at it apprehensively.
"Come on, come on, this way, this way!" Yugi said excitedly the biggest grin lighting up his face as he ran off.
"So happy." Atem commented before grabbing Yami's hand and taking off after the human.
[Time skip]
Yugi laughed like mad at the vampires in front of him. They were holding onto one another for dear life, as they plummeted down the first hill on the roller coaster. Who knew vampires could be afraid of heights, let alone scream so high when they had such masculine voices? The patrons behind him found it hilarious too it seemed as the roller coaster rocked with laughter. Yugi's was the loudest by far though, and the one that rang the most in Atem's and Yami's ears as they continued to scream throughout the entire ride.
Oh, this day was going to be so much fun, he could already tell. He couldn't wait to take them on the rest of the roller coaster rides here at Kaiba Land. No scratch that, he'd take them on them all! Best day ever! Yugi was still laughing as he stumbled off the ride; he was clutching his sides in mirth.
"Still haven't gotten over that fear of heights thing, huh your highnesses?" a passing vampire asked as he was dragged off in another direction by a small child.
"So you found our terror amusing huh?" Yami asked in a mock angry voice.
"Immensely so." Yugi said giggling.
"What about tickling, do you find that amusing?" Atem asked before tickling him. Yugi shrieked with laughter as he tried to fight off the hands. Finally managing to do so, he grabbed both of their hands dragging them off to the second highest roller coaster. Yugi's sides hurt by the end of the ride, even though he was in front of them, this was a ride where the carts turned to face each other occasionally, so he got an occasional glance at their pure petrified faces.
The next ride he took them on was the 30 foot drop. Their voices got so high Yugi wondered if they would have them after the ride. He shrieked with joy as the ride went up, fell, up, fell, up, fell, and up to the top, and fell for the last time. It was an exhilarating adrenaline rush for him, and he enjoyed every minute of it.
"Can we please go on a ride that stays on the ground now?" Yami asked.
"Okay! The tea cups, the tea cups!" Yugi exclaimed dragging them back towards the front of Kaiba Land. Yugi had stupidly let Yami and Atem control how much the cup spun, and how fast it went. He was stumbling like he was drunk when he got off the ride and had to be steered away from the danger of running into other people when walking. The world was spinning worse than when they had run with him, something which he was sure that the vampires should be considering as an accomplishment.
"Are you okay, Yugi?" Atem asked in concern.
"Yeah, you're not going to get sick are you?" Yami asked.
"No, ooh, let's go on that ride." Yugi said pointing to a fun house and stumbling towards it.
"No more tea cups." Atem said walking after him.
"Agreed." Yami nodded.
Walking through the fun house, they lost each other a few times but all met up on the outside at the end of it. Yugi of course came out first, then Atem and last Yami. As soon as they were all out, he grabbed them and took them on another roller coaster. Yami and Atem screamed the entire time, with Yugi laughing at their behavior.
"So what's the difference between a pureblood vampire and one who's not?" Yugi asked as they came off another ride.
"A pureblood vampire is born, while one who's not is made." Atem answered.
"Do all vampires who are made go rogue?"
"No, as long as the vampire who created them keeps a close eye on them in their first two years of life, or gives them to another who will, they most likely won't go rogue." Yami explained.
"But there are rare cases?"
"Some, but they are extremely rare." Atem said nodding.
"Okay, next question. How are vampires born?"
"The same as any human is. You do know how a human is born right?" Atem asked back.
"O-of course I know how a human is born! I'm not that naively innocent!" Yugi said back indignantly, blushing a dark crimson red.
"Just making sure." Atem said leaning away from him so he wouldn't run his knuckles over the beautiful color on his face.
"Uh, how do you control a baby vampire from biting everything that carries blood in their system?" Yugi asked as if the question just sprung into his mind.
"Oh, the babies don't come out vampires. It's sort of like a hit and miss thing. The child could be a vampire or it couldn't be. You find out once they reach the age of sixteen, and then over the course of a year their diet changes from a food one to a blood one." Yami explained quickly. They could see a thousand questions start to fill Yugi's eyes at this information as they sat down at a random picnic table.
"So, from birth to sixteen, they eat human food?"
"Yes, but wait don't you have vampire friends from when you were younger?" Atem asked confused.
"Well, sure, but Rebecca and Otogi never ate around us, and they most certainly didn't eat lunch at school. Otogi did make Honda eat though." Yugi explained like it was no big deal.
"Odd." Yami said frowning.
"Can a vampire drink from another vampire?"
"No, it would be kind of anti-helpful if one vampire was trying to drain the blood from another vampire. A vampire needs the blood to feel full and slightly warmer than they're used too, however brief that warmth may be. To be drunk from by one of their kind would be very problematic, and cause all kinds of problems that you don't need to worry about." Atem explained.
"Okay, if a human dies on a vampire, what do they do about food?"
"They will have to drink animal blood until the need for that human's blood passes out of their system." Yami said.
"What if it's reversed? What if the vampire dies on the human?"
"A huge investigation takes place, and once we have all the facts a verdict is placed on the guilty party. Though, usually nothing happens, the human is free from being drunk from and goes about their life as if nothing had happened." Atem said.
"Why isn't an investigation made if the human dies, just the vampire?" Yugi asked frowning.
"Because it's out of our hands to investigate every human death. Most human deaths at the hands of vampires are accidental, either by taking too much, or just losing control." Yami said solemnly.
"And if it isn't?" Yugi asked persisting the question of its injustice in his eyes.
"Then they are put on a list. A list of execution that both Hunters and Werewolves take care of." Atem said sternly.
"You don't say?" Yugi asked suddenly nervous.
"We know about your sister." Yami said bluntly. The reaction was instant as Yugi jumped to his feet. Atem had stood up half way slowly, before Yugi took off into the crowd.
He didn't know where he was going, he didn't care. They knew his sister was a Hunter, a vampire Hunter to be more specific. But how? Their family had hid all traces of it so well, so how did they know? How could they possibly know about her? Akeifa and Bakura didn't even know, and they co-operated with the Hunters on a daily basis. How? How had they figured out his family's secret? How?
He found himself near the entrance of the Kaiba Land, and took off for it. He skidded to a stop though as he saw one of the two vampires waiting there for him. His back was turned at the moment, but as if he sensed Yugi there, he started to turn. Yugi was off again into the crowd. There was more than one exit out of Kaiba Land, and Yugi knew them all.
He had barely run three feet when he barreled right into a slim chest. An arm looped easily around his waist, and he didn't need to look up to know who had a hold of him was one of the vampires. The King or the Queen of them.
"It was her choice, she wanted to be one. But you have to understand, it was because of her best friend Marchelle. She was slaughtered by a rogue vampire. My sister has hated your kind ever since, please, please don't kill me." Yugi begged crying into their shirt. Another arm wrapped around him, pulling him close.
"Never." Yami said simply resting his cheek on top of his head.
"So you did see him." Atem said from behind them.
"Told you." Yami said back.
That came out so much easier than it did the first time.
Yami…
Right sorry, mind link off limits for now, forgot.
"A mind link? How is that created?" Yugi asked looking up at him.
"Uh, that's kind of complicated to explain." Atem said looking uncomfortable.
"Can you uncomplicated it?" Yugi asked.
"Uh…Yami?"
"Don't look at me. I'm not about to tell him how it's created." Yami said looking away.
"Is it really that horrible?" Yugi asked as he got a headache that passed as quickly as it came.
"Uh, well you see, no, it's not horrible. It's just the way it's created is…you have to um…you have to…uh…"
"Have sexual intercourse?" Yugi offered up.
"Yes, that's it, you have to have sexual intercourse." Atem said jumping on the suggestion for all it was worth.
"But…I've never had sexual intercourse with either one of you, so how did I get dragged into this mind link thing?" Yugi asked like he was confused. Oh, this was going to be so much fun.
"Um, well you see…uh…actually what has happened was that ummm…." Atem trying to explain things was highly amusing.
"Are you saying that you've raped me? Both of you?" Yugi asked horrified as he backed away from them.
"No! We would never, Yugi!"
"Atem."
"But if we've never had sexual intercourse, and I'm somehow connected in your minds, it's the only logical explanation. You've raped me!" Yugi shouted pointing an accusatory finger at them.
"Atem."
"No, no, no, no, I assure you it was completely consensual."
"How can it be consensual if I don't even remember it?"
"Oh, that's a good question." Atem muttered.
"Atem!"
"What!?" he snapped back at him.
"It's been three hours." Yami said. Atem just gave him a look, before turning to Yugi with look that said he was in trouble.
"So who wants to go on a ride?" Yugi asked before taking off into the crowd.
"Get back here you little imp!" Atem shouted chasing after him.
"My mates, Ra I love them to death." Yami said before taking off after them.
So...about the mirror thing, I never actually checked it myself, I just assumed it would work, hehe. So...if you can't read backwards get yourself some paper and pen and go to work.
Yugi: [looking over chapter] i'm gonna murder you Midnight! i'm not a giggler now nor have i ever been!
