Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ A Vampire's Soul ❯ Happier Things ( Chapter 10 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

A/N & Warning: This chapter has lemony-stuff in it, both of the traditional kind and the yaoi kind. It's also my first published yaoi scene, so be nice. You were warned.

"I think he's waking up…" Bakura's voice said, softly. Ryou cracked open his eyes, and found himself in a dim room. The only light source was the fire that had been lit in the grate.

"Wh-Where am I?" Ryou muttered, sitting up gingerly. Someone had taken off his shirt, and, surprisingly, all of his wounds had healed.

"You're in my apartment," Yami said, softly. "It's the closest to the park, so I thought I'd take you all here." Yami was standing next to the couch that Ryou was lying on, Bakura, topless and with bandages covering his sword wound, standing next to him.

"You've been out for awhile," Bakura said, his voice hushed. "Kat's worried about you."

"Is she awake…?"

"Yes… I'm amazed you had the courage to Embrace her."

"I'll hate myself forever for it," Ryou said, laughing wryly.

Bakura shook his head, but didn't say anything.

"How're Amane and Yuugi-kun?"

"It's not moonset yet, and they haven't regained consciousness," Yami sighed. "So I don't know. They're in my room right now, I let them both lie on my bed."

Ryou sighed. "I'm sorry about Yuugi-kun, Yami-sama. I hope it wasn't Amane who bit him."

"Oh no, it wasn't… I saw the wolf that bit him. Amane's a white wolf, and Yuugi was bitten by a brown wolf. Who happened to be male, if my sense of smell isn't failing me."

Ryou sighed. At that point, Kat squeezed between the two Khemetians(1). "Ryou! Thank God you're okay!" She threw herself on him.

Ryou pulled her into a tight embrace. "I'm sorry…" He whispered.

"For what?" Kat asked, confused.

"For Embracing you… I took your humanity…"

"I honestly don't mind…" She muttered. "Really, I don't…"

"…Thank you…"

"It's moonset…" Bakura muttered. Yami gasped and dashed into his bedroom as the two werewolves resting inside started transitioning back to human. A low groan sounded from the room as Yuugi and Amane finished their transformations. Yami led both outside. Yuugi's uniform was tattered and ripped in places.

"What happened?" Yuugi groaned rubbing his head. "I don't remember a thing…"

"You won't," Amane muttered.

Together, as best they could, Ryou, Bakura, and Yami explained the night's events.

As they finished telling the story, Yuugi sighed in relief. "So I didn't kill or hurt anyone? Thank God…"

"I had you preoccupied with Malik," Ryou said, smiling wryly.

"Malik…" Yuugi muttered. "He's the one who had me captured… is he dead?"

"Yami killed him."

Yuugi glanced mournfully at Yami. Yami pulled Yuugi close to himself, stroking his hair.

"I think we should all go home," Bakura sighed. "Think about this later."

Yami nodded. Yuugi stood up to leave, but Yami held him back. "Wait, Aibou," He purred softly.

Ryou stood up with Kat. As they left the apartment, Ryou stopped her and pulled her close to him. "Can I come back with you?" He said, nuzzling her.

"Hmmm… I think I know what you're thinking about," She purred seductively.

"Good girl," Ryou whispered in response. "Shem…"

The transportation spell took them to Kat's apartment, more specifically, to her bedroom. She hadn't bothered to make her bed, which made things a little easier. Her room was a torrent of black and purple, with at least thirty candles, large and small, placed at various points around the perimeter of the room.

Ryou pushed Kat down onto the bed, kissing her passionately as he did so. He pulled off her shirt, his lips meeting with the soft flesh of her breasts. She moaned in pleasure and her hand went for her trousers. He pulled off the rest of her clothes as she removed his. He pushed into her, again, and again… She moaned in ecstasy. Her hands slid around the small of his back, clutching him close to her.

Finally, Ryou rolled off of her, and she snuggled up next to him, sighing deeply. Ryou pulled her into his arms, cradling her as though it was the last night they'd ever be together.

Yami shut the door to his apartment after saying good-bye to Bakura and pulled Yuugi close to him.

"You never told me you were a vampire…" Yuugi muttered, burying his head in Yami's chest, allowing himself to melt into the Pharaoh's warm embrace.

"I'm sorry, Aibou, I wanted to on the December Full Moon, but, well… you were asleep."

"I guess I shouldn't be criticising you… I hid my bite mark from you…"

"I knew about it… in fact, I was the one who-"

"No, the one from the werewolf. Wait… nani?"

"Earlier on… I visited you at night. I only took a little blood from you each time… The visits stopped after that night in December…" Yami trailed off, uncertain about how he should continue.

"Is that why I was dreaming about you?"

Yami nodded. "Most likely."

"Is there anything else you'd like to tell me while we're at this?"

"Yes. I wasn't lying when I said I was from Egypt. But when I was alive, we called it 'Khemet', the Black Land… 'Khem' being our word for 'Black'. That was over three thousand years ago. My real name is Atemu."

"Airashii…" Yuugi muttered.

Yami smiled. "I adopted the name 'Yami' during the Sengoku Jidai(2). I was Pharaoh when I was still alive… when I was but nineteen Bakura showed up, having robbed my father's tomb, and placed a curse on me… the effect wasn't quite what he expected, but nonetheless… I Embraced him out of vengeance after I woke up. I ceased hating him after that… I'd exacted my revenge, and I had no more reason to. I am the first Vampire… Other vampires simply refer to me as 'The First' although most seem to think I'm dead. And one more thing… I was the black wolf that chased away the werewolf that bit you. I'm a Shape-shifter." He took in a deep breath. "I think that's everything."

"Okay…" Yuugi took in a deep breath. "That's over with…"

"Yes, it is…" A pause, then, "Well, this is awkward…"

"Wait, Yami-I-I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the werewolf bite… I just… I didn't want to worry you…"

Yami leaned over and kissed Yuugi deeply. "I forgive you, Aibou."

"Uhmmm… Yami?"

"Yes?"

Yuugi blushed and gently steered Yami towards the bedroom. "I'm wondering… can vampires still…?" He trailed off, the blush on his face deepening.

"Oh, we can, last I checked," Yami purred. He nipped at Yuugi's ear. "Why? Is there something you want from me…?"

They were inside the bedroom now. Yuugi nodded and blushed a little.

"Last time you weren't ready."

"I am now…" Yuugi whispered. His lips brushed against Yami's. The tension between the two was almost tangible.

Yami grinned. "Alright then… I'm just warning you…" He pushed Yuugi down onto the bed, causing the younger boy to let out a surprised, wolf-like yelp. "Sometimes I don't know my own strength," Yami finished, in a whisper, as he climbed on top of Yuugi.

"Just don't get too rough," Yuugi warned, laughing a little.

"I won't," Yami purred. He kissed Yuugi with heated passion and undressed him. Yuugi did likewise. He let Yami push into him, moaning and groaning as he repeated the process.

When Yami was done, he laid down beside Yuugi and gathered the young werewolf into his arms, stroking his hair gently.

"I am with you always, Aibou," he whispered to Yuugi. "Always…"

A/N: Okay! I'm done at last! Excellent. Now you may move onto other things. Yay! ^_^ But there might be a sequel. *evil grin* Oh yeah. ^^;;;. *Ahem* 'Scuse my muses. Anyway, this fic has officially ended. And as such, I'd like to dedicate it to a few people…

To Nadako-Mika: This is my first canon-like fic, and I think Amy-chan is the reason my muses wanted me to write something that was more similar to the canon than the stories in my mainstream AU. She's also a really good friend of mine from DeviantART. ^_^

To Damos No Yami: He read. He never reviewed, but he read. Which I appreciate nonetheless. He also kept me company on the long Friday/Saturday night that I was working on chapter 8. Having an Aussie friend definitely helps matters. And if it weren't for his endless supply of Evanescence, I would never have heard "Before The Dawn", the Theme Song for this story, and without "Before The Dawn", I don't think I'd've finished this story so quickly.

And finally, to Kawaii Spinel Queen Of Evil: For being one of my best friends, for helping me plan this fic out, working out every last detail… and for reading (and reviewing!) it faithfully despite the blatant(?) shounen-ai.

Wow. Three dedications. XD

That's it for me! Ja mata ne!

(1) Khemetian - The proper adjective for the language and magic is "Khemetic"; however, for differentiation, I used "Khemetian" for nationality. "Khemet" was Egypt's original name, meaning "Black Land" in their original tongue. Therefore, "Khemetian" is the nationality of the Ancient Egyptians.

(2) Sengoku Jidai - Those of you who also watch Inu-Yasha will know what this is. However, those of you who don't may be a little lost. The Sengoku Jidai is the warring states era of Japanese history, IE, Feudal Japan. Inu-Yasha takes place in 1997, and the Sengoku Jidai is approximately five hundred years before hand, thereby placing it around 1497 AD. So Bakura left shortly before he Embraced Ryou.
