Dark Soulmate

By The AutumnRose

Pairings: Bakura/Ryou, Yami/Yugi, Marik/Malik, and maybe a bit of Seto/Jou.

Rating: R to NC-17. All lemons will be posted on MediaMiner.

IMPORTANT!!! The LINK to the LEMON VERSION of Dark Soulmate can now be FOUND in my BIO. Also if for some reason you can't access MediaMiner, and you still want the lemons just email me and I'll email you the lemon(s). Also I have decided to keep posting this fic on both FanFic and MediaMiner!

Warning: This is all Yaoi, and there will be lemons in the near future; so if you don't like it don't read it.

Disclaimer: No own. No profit. No sue.

READ THIS: Well I know where I want to go with this story, but I'm kinda having a bit of trouble (I sort of lost my notes, but DON'T worry, they're here somewhere, it's just a matter of where), so rather than have you wait too long for another chapter I present you with this. This chapter is more of a 'side chapter'. It still ties into the story, it just has hardly any BakuraxRyou in it. Mainly because this is Yami and Yugi's meeting and the like. Next chapter will be Marik and Malik's meeting (equipped with good 'ol insanity and smutty goodness.) So this chapter and the next should tide you over until I find my notes. And to make up for my lack of organization skills there will be another LEMON in Ch.5!!!

Yami - It better be mine and Yugi's lemon.

AutumnRose - Nope, sorry.

Yami - :::glares::: How would you like to be Mind Crushed?

AutumnRose - :::glares back::: How would you like to be straight?

Yami - :::nervous::: You wouldn't.

AutumnRose - You're right, I wouldn't. But calm down, when you and Yugi's lemon comes around you won't be disappointed. You two are fun to lemonize! ;)

Yami - ^_________^

NapoleonBone - Will do! :::huggles:::

Black Angel Reaper - The language Bakura is speaking and will possibly be speaking (periodically of course) through this fic is Persian, though him and the rest of the Yami's will slip into Egyptian from time to time.

Ch. 4 Reflection

Yugi Mouto was bored out of his mind. His grandpa had gone to visit one of his old friends, so he was stuck running the Game Shop. His best friend Ryou, he had hardly seen lately. Yugi knew that Ryou had met someone, and he was happy for his friend, he just wished Ryou wasn't being so secretive about who his special someone was. But he supposed when Ryou was ready he would tell. His other best friend Malik was out on a hunt. Ryou and himself had been shocked to learn that Malik was a Vampire Hunter, and even more surprised that Vampires even existed at all, but it did explain a lot of the mysterious deaths that had been taking place in the world. Though Malik was one of the best Hunters, even considering his age, Yugi and Ryou couldn't help but worry for their friends safety.

Yugi sighed for the fifth time today, he really wished something new, and dare he say exciting would happen to him for a change. It was always the same routine day after day. Go to school, get harassed by bullies, come home, help around the shop, and hang out with his friends; not that he minded the last two, but it would be nice to have more than just two friends. He hated that he was the favorite target of bullies, it wasn't his fault that he looked like he was ten even though he was fifteen, soon to be sixteen. Of course being short didn't really help matters any. Ryou too used to be a target, but ever since he met his 'special someone' the bullies had avoided him like the plague.
Sighing again, he really wished things were different for him. Little did Yugi know, he was about to get his wish.

~*~*~

It was another dreary day in Domino City; there seemed to be a lot of days like this lately. The sky gray, chilling the world with it's icy wind. But none of that seemed to matter to the lone figure walking on the deserted streets. Clad in a pair of tight fitting black leather pants, a blood red form fitting sleeveless shirt, and black combat boots, Yami walked in silence, oblivious too the cold weather surrounding him. He was bored. His friend/lover Bakura was off somewhere with his Hikari, and his other friend/lover Marik was Ra knows where doing Ra knows what. He wondered about Marik sometimes; sure none of them, himself included, could be considered all that sane, but sometimes he wondered if maybe Marik should seek professional help. Yami dismissed the thought almost as quickly as it had come. After all, Marik was Marik.

It wasn't just the lazy day that bored him, but the way his life was as of late. While being the legendary Game King, he obviously still enjoyed games of all sorts, so that wasn't the problem. The problem was, that after five thousand years, he had grown bored with the whole hunting and killing thing. He was ready for a change. What he wanted was something, or to be more precise, someone, he could keep, and play with. His own source of entertainment, if you will. Someone who was innocent, submissive, but more importantly, someone who would not be broken so easily.

Back when he was still a pharaoh in Ancient Egypt, he had slaves at his disposal, most of which fit those qualifications; the last two anyway, none could really be called innocent. But that was then and this was now. Slavery had long been abolished, so his new source of entertainment would have to be willing. Or at least easily influenced. He mused chuckling to himself.

He had been wandering the streets for hours, looking for something, anything, that would provide him with some sort of amusement. He was just about to give up any hope of that happening when he spotted a sign across the street from where he was. "Mouto Game Shop." He read aloud to himself. His curiosity piqued he slowly made his way across the street and entered the small shop. The warmth of the shop was a far contrast to the bitter cold from outside, and he had to admit, while cold climates didn't really bother him, the heat the small shop provided felt good. He always did prefer hot and dry climates to cold and wet.

Since first moving here he had become enamored with a game the humans called Duel Monsters, which was vaguely reminiscent of the Shadow Games played back in his day. Which was probably the reason why he liked this new human game so much. He was quite pleased to note that this particular shop had an array of Duel Monster cards. Of course there were other things; namely comics and such.

"Hi, welcome to the Mouto Game Shop. Is there anything I can help you with?" A cheery voice said from behind him. Turning toward the source of the voice, he gasped, for there behind the counter was a smaller more innocent version of himself. What is this, the city of Hikari's? Yami thought as he studied the smaller boy. He smirked as he saw the boy gape in awe at the obvious resemblance between them. Hmm, it appears I've found my new toy. He thought satisfied with how this day was turning out. Aloud he said, "Your name, boy?" Boy? Yugi thought curiously before answering. "Um, Yugi-Yugi Mouto." He stuttered cutely. "Well little Yugi perhaps you can help me after all." Yami practically purred. First boy and now little Yugi? Geez it's not enough I get picked on practically everyday at school, but now I'm being insulted where I work by a complete stranger. Who looks almost like me! Yugi thought to himself wearily.

Sensing a resigned displeasure from his adorable Hikari, Yami tapped into the boy's thoughts. He felt a flash of guilt that he was partially to blame, but that was quickly replaced with anger as he learned that his little light was the frequent target of bullies. This did not bode well with the Tuoni at all, his light was a part of himself, and no one insulted Yami and lived to tell about it. Those lowly humans who dared torment his Light would not live long enough to regret it.

Yugi stood stalk still as a wave of anger flowed through him. He new it wasn't his own emotions, but rather those belonging to this older version of himself. How he knew this he wasn't sure, he just did. Yugi relaxed slightly when he realized the anger was not directed toward him, but still, why was this person so livid all of the sudden. More importantly, who was he and why did he resemble Yugi?

//My name is Atemu, but you may call me Yami.// Yugi jumped at hearing a voice in his head, then snapped his head up to stare directly at Yami. "H-How did you do that?" He asked softly. Yami smirked and began to explain (basically the same explanation about yami's and hikari's Bakura told Ryou).

When Yami finished his explanation he couldn't help but smile at the little one's small form practically radiating excitement and wonder. "So you're my Yami?" Yugi asked in awe. Yami nodded and replied, "And you are my Hikari." Yugi couldn't help himself, he practically jumped over the counter and proceeded to glomp Yami. This is sooo cool! I won't ever be lonely now. Yugi thought to himself happily. //No, you won't.// Yami mentally answered with utter conviction. /Thank you./ Yugi replied.

Damn. So much for a toy. I can't use him, but I can still love him and protect him. Yami thought to himself. Though a small part of him still mourned the loss of the whole toy idea (sorry couldn't resist :::laughs to self:::).

Oh no! Malik! Yugi thought panicked as he pulled back from Yami. "Who's Malik?" Yami asked feeling a flash of jealously. Did his little light already have someone? Yugi looked down as he answered, "Malik is one of my best friends, a Vampire Hunter." Yami raised a brow at this, though he couldn't deny that he was relived that he wouldn't have to kill who he first presumed competition.
"That is easily solved, little one, simply do not tell him about me." Yami said almost casually. Yugi considered this for a moment, then nodded hesitantly. He was good at keeping secrets, but he was a terrible liar. He just hoped that, if Malik ever did find out he would understand.

Yami didn't seem bothered by this in the least. One doesn't live for over five thousand years by being easy pray. I have yet to meet a Hunter who can defeat me. He thought with a smirk. Though it would be a shame if he had to kill one of his Hikari's only friends, it was a small price to pay. He would let no one, god nor man, take his Light from him (just met and already so possessive ::sigh:: got to love it).

<Hey Pharaoh! Where are you?> Yami rolled his eyes as Marik's voice resounded in his mind. Sometimes telepathy seemed more like a curse than a gift, like now for instance.

<What do you want Marik?> Yami asked in annoyance.

<I'm bored, and you still haven't answered my question.> Marik answered pointedly.

<I'll meet you back at the house than, Bakura has news on an old 'friend'.> Marik stressed the word 'friend' with such a vicious undertone that had Yami not had such amazing self control he would have flinched.

<Fine.> Yami replied and promptly closed off the link.

"Well aibou, I must leave for now, but don't worry, we will meet again soon." Yami said as he pulled Yugi into a tight embrace. Yugi didn't want Yami to go, but it was probably for the best, seeing as how Malik was supposed to be there in an hour anyway. "Okay." Yugi said softly. Yami reluctantly bid his Hikari farewell and left.

~*~*~

"It's about damn time the two of you showed up!" Bakura yelled. Yami shot his friend an annoyed glare while Marik just shrugged off Bakura's outburst. "This had better be good Bakura." Yami said between clenched teeth, still pissed off at having been interrupted from spending time with his newly found Hikari. "I wouldn't exactly call it good, but just the same it needs to be dealt with." Marik said from his place on the couch. Yami nodded leaning against the wall while Bakura took to pacing back and forth in their living room. Finally Bakura stopped, turning to face the other two. "Hakujou has returned from where ever the hell that bastard had secluded himself. What's worse, he's in this city." Bakura spoke icily. Bakura hated Hakujou with every fiber of his being, and with good reason. A reason only his two friends, Hakujou, and himself new.

Yami grew deathly still at hearing this bit of news. While he didn't exactly fear Hakujou, he knew perfectly well what said person was well known for. Yami feared for his Hikari, and for Bakura's. He wasn't sure if Marik had one, but if he did then he feared for his too. "That bastard. What the hell is he doing here?" Yami seethed. "Apparently looking for Hikari's, this city seems to be crawling with them." Marik answered as both Bakura and Yami glared at him incredulously.

"What?" Marik asked at his friends looks.

"We've seen one Hikari so far." Bakura dead panned.

"Two, I just met mine today." Yami said.

"Three." Marik added.

Yami looked at him and asked, "You found yours too?"

"No, it wasn't my Hikari, but it was a Hikari. Some blonde dolt, who Seto has taken to calling 'Puppy'." Marik replied.

"Ah, must be Seto's Hikari than." Yami replied thoughtfully.

"That ice block has a Hikari?" Bakura snorted.

Marik shrugged unconcerned. "That doesn't matter. We need to figure out what we're going to do about Hakujou before he does anything to us or the Hikari's." Marik said sitting up straight. Oh how Marik longed to rip out Hakujou's black heart. He wanted the other Tuoni to suffer greatly at his hands for what he did to both himself and Bakura. He was secretly glad that Yami had never suffered at Hakujou's hands, though he'd never admit it out loud. It simply wasn't his way.

"I agree that Hakujou does indeed need to be stopped, the question is, how do you kill someone who has lived longer than the three of us combined?" Yami inquired. "I don't know yet, but we have to think of something. I will not let that bastard Tuoni get his hands on my Hikari, or anyone else's for that matter." Bakura snapped.

The three Tuoni Vampire's planned well into the night as to what what they were going to do about this old enemy. Only stopping when the need to feed became apparent.

Being made into a vampire was one thing, but being born one as they were, is another. Tuoni's are driven by an unquenchable hunger. A thirst for the blood of humans. It's a hunger, a need, an insatiable bloodlust that will not be ignored. A bloodlust that can never truly be sated, only suppressed for a short while. Whereas a made vampire can go with out for an indefinite amount of time as they get older, a Tuoni Vampire cannot. A Tuoni who tries to ignore their bloodlust will eventually go mad, killing everyone and anyone they can get their hands on, even their own kind. They will no longer be able to distinguish between friend or foe, and they will know no fear and feel no pain. They are near impossible to kill when in this state, but it is the only way to stop them. So in order to keep this from happening, when the bloodlust calls to them, they answer.

~*~*~

Back at the Mouto residence Yugi was sitting in his room with his two friends Ryou and Malik. Malik had been telling them that word was a hand full of Tuoni Vampires have recently made residence in the city. This news had caused both Ryou and Yugi to go pale, for similar reasons. A reaction that did not go unnoticed by each other or Malik.

"Why do I get the feeling you guy's are hiding something from me?" Malik asked suspiciously. When the two remained silent Malik became concerned. Did something happen to them? he wondered. Just when he was about to ask, his cell phone rang. "Hello?" Malik answered. Ryou and Yugi shared a questioning look as Malik continued his conversation with who ever was on the other line. They both looked up when Malik cursed. The young Hunter hung up the phone and growled.

"I have to go on a hunt, but when I get back the two of you have some explaining to do." Malik said as he got up. He was just about to leave when he felt a slight tug on the back of his shirt. He turned to see Ryou holding on to it. "Be careful." The timid boy whispered softly. Malik's eyes softened and he nodded. "Promise us." Yugi said coming up to stand next to Ryou. "I promise." Malik said as he ruffled his two friends hair. Then he turned and left, he had a vampire to hunt.

TBC

&nbs p; Sorry it's kinda short and that it took so long to post an update. Next chappie Marik and Malik meet.

A/N 2 READ: Remember the more REVIEWS I get the FASTER I will UPDATE!!!!

Also I know it seems that things are moving kind of fast for the Yami's and their Hikari's, but keep in mind they are soulmates; two halves of a whole, so of course they'd take to one another right away. However there will undoubtedly be some conflict between them later on, 'cause face it soulmates or not no relationship is perfect.

READ TO FIND OUT A LITTLE ABOUT THE VILLAIN/OC

Name - Hakujou
Name Meaning - unfeeling; heartless; cold-hearted; cruel
Species - Tuoni Vampire
Age - a little over 20,000; looks between 22-24
Gender - male
Hair - crimson red that falls to the middle of his back
Eyes - burgundy
Height - 6'2"
Likes - power, causing others pain and suffering
Hates - everyone and everything; especially Hikari's
Brief History/Summary - Hakujou is a very powerful Tuoni Vampire. Morbid, sadistic, and just plain evil; he hates all Hikari's with a passion. He takes great pleasure in tormenting Ryou, Yugi, and Malik, but mostly Ryou.

To get a general idea of just what an asshole this vamp is one must know what he did in his past:

He first met his Hikari Kalevi when the boy was only nine years of age. He himself was already in his early twenties. At the age of ten Kalevi had witnessed the brutal rape and murder of his mother by his father, and then his fathers own gruesome suicide. He later found out it was Hakujou who was responsible for what happened that day. His Yami had possessed his father causing him to do what he did. When Kalevi turned 15 Hakujou brutally raped and beat him repeatedly. This went on for seven years, until finally Hakujou grew bored of his Hikari and killed him.

He is the villain so to speak in this story, and I just wanted you all to have an idea of what an ASSHOLE this guy is. He may be fine as hell, but he is truly a character I despise. However, he's a necessary evil, and in the end he will get what he deserves and then some, but what damage will he do to our favorite Hikari's before then? You'll just have to keep reading to find out.
