~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yugi sighed in sheer boredom as he sat in his large bedroom. The room was decorated in multiple shades of black and blue. Both were the prince's favorite colors. His king-sized bed was covered in satins and silks, a complete opposite to his black leather clothing and chains. It had been three years since he moved into the grand castle. He'd become quick friends with the guards, mages, and others that lived in the palace with him. One of his best friends was Katsuya Jonouchi. The tall guard had sandy blonde hair and soft, honey colored eyes. The two were practically inseparable. Another was the female mage that blessed the castle, Shizuka. She was Jou's younger sister. The proof was in her warm eyes and caring smile. She got along with Yugi pretty well. Ryou was another of his comrades. He had silky white hair and soft chocolate brown eyes. His voice was always unbelievably soft. At first, it was hard for Yugi to accept as true, but Ryou was a guard. One of the other mages was a dear friend as well, he went by the name Tristan. He had hazel eyes and brown hair that went off in a strange angle. With them around, Yugi felt right at home.

The young ruler of the Light Kingdom nearly jumped in the air when Jou knocked on the door. Scolding himself, the violet-eyed teen invited him in.

"Something wrong Jou?"

"No you highness. I just wished to inform you that our invitation to the Dark Kingdom was accepted."

Yugi blinked. "Oh. So they are coming to the ball? Jou, please call me Yugi; I've asked you a million times!"

Jou smirked and nodded, heading back out the double doors. He couldn't help but think of what the Dark King looked like. Maybe he was different than what the older guards told him? Yugi had changed, so couldn't the ruler of the Dark Kingdom? At first, Yugi was a cherubic fifteen-year-old that looked like a ten-year-old. Now though, he was about five foot ten, his violet eyes had grown sharper, and the eighteen-year-old's body was more defined than before. The blonde smirked. Yup, the King of Darkness could have changed alright. He couldn't wait until tonight…The Light Kingdom Ball.

A figure much like Ryou loomed in the shadows of the Dark Kingdom. His dark brown eyes searched the Shadow Castle or so they called it, for a certain lit window. He smirked when he saw it. All the way up on the twelfth floor. Bakura let out a small sinister chuckle as he disappeared and reappeared in the room. He was greeted by a tall slim figure with exotic-looking crimson eyes and golden-tanned skin. A few blonde bangs fell into the bloodied eyes from a crown of ebony and red spiked hair. This was the ruler of the Dark kingdom; the Prince of the Shadows. Bakura bowed slightly.

"Sir, is it wise to go to the Light Kingdom Ball?"

Yami's voice was rich and held a tinge of mystery. "I wish to see the new head of the Light. If he is worthy to be the prince, he is worthy of my time."

Bakura gave an understanding nod. "Do you wish for me to leave now?"

Yami tilted his head to the side. "One question first. Does any Light interest you?"

The white-haired male thought silently for a moment. Then, slowly, he nodded his head. His sharp brown eyes filled with minor curiosity.

Yami chuckled. "Who is it Bakura?"

Bakura's humble attitude towards the king disappeared. "That is none of your fucking business Yami!!"

Yami rolled his eyes. He knew Bakura was never going to call him "King or Highness" again. That just proved how he couldn't keep the bet. Earlier, they had betted that Bakura couldn't speak to him with a civil tongue like his servants did. Yes, he lost. The vampire turned his attention to his "distant friend".

Bakura was still ranting. Yami sighed and picked up a black pillow, throwing it at his head. The dark angel attacked Yami, causing him to yelp in surprise. The mage Seto walked in, unfazed to see them fighting once more.

"Your highness…" he growled when he got no response, he too was in the bet. "YAMI!!!!"

The Dark Ruler stopped his brawl with Bakura and looked over. "What?"

Seto sighed in frustration. "The ball is tonight, get ready."

Yami just mocked him with his hands, causing Bakura to laugh. The Mage glared and left the bedchambers. Bakura shortly followed after getting hit with another pillow.

~*At the Ball!*~

Yugi sighed as he came down to the ballroom. His lithe body was adorned in navy leather, black silk draping over his shoulders to his wrists. He gazed around unenthusiastically. There really wasn't anything he could do. He was forced to have this thing! There was only two reasons why he came downstairs to the ball in the first place. One, because his friends had begged him and reminded him that his presence was required at some points. And then there was two; to finally meet the Master of the Shadows. He couldn't wait to meet him; the ruler of the Dark Kingdom. He grinned when he spotted two familiar faces, Duke and Tea. He strode over to them, not noticing the other three behind them.

"Tea? Duke? You made it." The teen laughed. "I would've died of boredom if you didn't show."

Duke grinned at the prince. "Yeah well, we came with our ruler."

Yugi blinked and raised an eyebrow. "Oh. Cool…"

Tea looked at the Light before her. "Are you okay Yugi? You seem a little…out there…"

The violet-eyed male grinned at her. "Just bored with this stupid ball. Jou and the others forced me to have it, something about tradition or something like that. I hate it."

Duke was about to reply when he spotted the gaze of his Lord. "Um…we'll talk to you later. Okay? We're going to just…go somewhere." The black-haired teen yanked Tea through the large crowd.

Yugi looked confused and looked back to where they were standing. Three other people from the Dark Kingdom now stood in their place. He could tell who one of them was-Seto Kaiba. He'd heard of him before, well, seen him too. He always came to the Kingdom Meetings, representing the Dark Kingdom. The Light prince was shocked by looking at the other two. One looked like an evil Ryou! The other though…Yugi felt as if he'd stay in the dark one's gaze forever. The other one looked like a dark replica of himself. Yugi gave him a small glare.

"And you are?"

Yami smirked at the younger look-a-like. "I am the King of the Dark Kingdom. My name is Yami. Who are you little one?"

Yugi kept his glare on the royalty. "Yugi Mutou…ruler of the Light Kingdom."

Yami stepped forward, his body moving gracefully, and leaned close to Yugi. Their eyes locked, violet meeting crimson. Yugi suppressed a shiver under the intense gaze. It was almost like he was looking in his soul… Yami gave the more innocent one a small grin, showing off his brilliantly white fangs. Yugi frowned and took a step back, ready to head into the mass of royalties from other kingdoms. Yami just moved forward until they were only a few centimeters apart, the leather clad body almost touching his own. The hot breath from the Dark Lord made a shiver run up his spine, and for some strange reason, a blush fight to rise to his cheeks. Yami leaned in closer licking the side of his neck.

"Have fun, Little One. We don't want the host to get bored." His voice had a tint of lust to it.

Yugi pulled back and backed away, hurriedly going over to Jou and the others. Duke and Tea were with them. Yugi was shaking slightly and a red blush covered his cheeks. Jou looked at his buddy worriedly.

"Wha' happened Yug'?"

The violet-eyed teenager looked up at the still-taller blonde. "He…he was…"

Duke and Tea paled, knowing what he must be talking about. It seemed the Darkness had taken an interest in the Light. Jonouchi, Ryou, and Shizuka had no idea what the prince was talking about. Yugi told them "Never mind." And went back up the marble stairs to his bedroom, still flustered. He tensed when he felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his waist. He could feel the hot breath against his neck again, realizing that it had to be Yami. Yami kissed his neck in the same spot he'd touched earlier, causing small waves of chills to run down Yugi's spine. He fought to turn around.

"What do you want from me?!"

He heard the Dark chuckle. "You, my Little One."

"I'm not your 'Little One'!" he managed to turn around, ending up staring straight into those bloody depths.

The King's eyes flickered with unknown emotions, and Yugi found he could no longer move. Yami smirked again and brushed a hand over Yugi's flushed cheeks. The prince of Light struggled to move, failing miserably.

"What are you doing?! Let me go!"

Yami just continued to smirk, not uttering a single word. Yugi suddenly felt very vulnerable. He gulped and found himself once more gazing into those crimson orbs.

"I know what will keep you entertained for the night…Little One…"

Yugi couldn't tear his gaze away from those fiery eyes. He simply glared at them. What would keep him entertained? There wasn't anything but his friends that could do that!

Yugi gasped as Yami 'accidentally' brushed against his arousal. He had NOT been expecting that! Yami grinned and placed a chaste kiss on his supple lips. The Dark male pushed gently into his smaller look-a-like, drawing a pleasured moan from the teen. He smirked again and continued to tease him, slowly trailing down to the base of his neck. He kissed and licked the spot on his neck again. He then stopped and looked up at Yugi.

"I am going to make you mine forever. Do you want that?"

Feeling unexplainably sleepy, Yugi nodded. He didn't seem to mind the Dark anymore, loving everything the elder did. Yami softly planted another kiss on Yugi lips before brushing them over his neck once more. He grazed it lightly with his fangs and bit down as lightly as he could. He abruptly pulled away when he heard somebody barge into the room, managing to knock him out before seeing the person. It was Jou. He grabbed Yugi who fainted in his arms.
