Chapter Eleven: The Next Day

Yami woke up the next day feeling tried and down. Throughout the entire night he had been waking up the second he fell asleep. The demon had then lied awake, trying to come up with a plan, and trying to fall asleep again. The ending result was that Yami spent more time lying awake than actually sleeping. The ending result was Yami feeling terrible when he woke up, but the demon got up and dressed nonetheless.

Passing by Seto’s bedroom on his way to breakfast, Yami found said person coming out of the room at the same moment that he passed by. The taller demon looked like he had had the best night’s sleep of his entire life and also seemed to be in an extremely good mood.

"Well, well what do we have here?” Yami drawled with a smirk at his fellow demon. “Seto, did you have a good nights sleep?" The teasing question was tossed at the brunet as Yami passed by him in the hallway.

"A good night’s sleep?” Seto questioned with an incredulous laugh. “Yami I had a great night’s sleep. But, then again, I have many things that need my attention.” There was a very out of character smile on the brunet’s face as he continued: “You would never believe all the things that Jou is allowing me to do before the mating show."

"What?” Yami laughed. “Is he going to let you have two mates? Are you having a threesome with Jou and someone else that none of us know about?” The star-haired youth did not stop in his stride down the hall even as he spoke. And since Yami did not pause in walking he did not hear Seto’s response to his words, though Yami was pretty sure that it was something about how he did not want any other mates and how happy he was to just have Jou. That was probably the gist of it. There was a heavy sigh from Yami as the demon thought: ‘Today is going to be a long day.’

When Yami got to the feeding room he found that there was still a few humans left over from the night before. They were still in their cages but most of them were asleep at the moment. It was easy to guess that they had fallen asleep late the previous night. Looking around all the humans available Yami decided that he would wait for the other three demons to show up before starting on his first meal of the day.

Not too long after Yami had stopped with his inspection Marik entered the room and sat down. The fair-haired demon did not speak a word until Bakura showed up into the feeding room, looking just a little better than Yami felt.

"So, where did you go late last night, Bakura?" Were the first words out of Marik’s mouth that morning. Accompanying the teasing tone there was also happy one, which really got on Yami’s and Bakura’s nerves that early in the morning.

"I don’t know what you mean, Marik." was Bakura snappy reply to Marik’s question. It immediately became clear that Bakura was in a mood that day and that meant that it was better to stay out of his way.

"I mean you left last night and then came back about two hours later. Where did you go and what where you up to, Bakura?" came Marik’s singsong reply. Yea, Marik was definitely way too happy for anyone to handle that early.

"Stop it you two”, Yami snapped, not feeling up to another one of the duo’s arguments. “I don’t feel like stopping one of your fights so early in the morning.” The star-haired youth then paused. “But now that it is out in the open, what were you doing out so late last night, Bakura?” Frowning deeply at the white-haired demon Yami finished gravely: “You know the rules we have about not going out past midnight."

"Don’t worry, Yami. I didn’t go far”, Bakura replied. “It was only to take care of the traps, since it was about time I checked on them. It was a good thing that I went, since one of them really needed fixing and if it had gone unchecked it might have caused us problems later on.” Even though Bakura’s explanation sounded reasonable, everyone knew that the demon had been doing more than fixing a broken trap.

"Yea, yea, just remember to come back before midnight next time you go out”, Yami spoke out. “Now listen closely. Seto is going to be down in a moment and he is in a good mood for once. Don’t get him mad, you two, because I will not save you two from his or Jou’s anger if you ruin his mood.” The star-haired demon paused briefly before finishing: “No, scratch that. I will help them kill you." Right at the moment that Yami was finished with his threat Seto walked in though the door.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why could they not go out or be out after midnight?" a rather tallish girl asked then, interrupting the story. Mr. M. provided his listeners with a reply as usual: "Well, you see, some demons don’t get along with certain others and they attempt to harm each other. Because of this different demon groups go out at different times during the night. Then there is also the fact that some certain times of the night are more popular outing time for demons."

“Okay”, the girl then said with a nod. “I understand.”

Mr. M. also nodded his head before speaking out in a thoughtful tone of voice: "Now, where was I? Oh yea. The four demons ate…"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The four demons ate in silence and then went their own ways. Bakura and Marik went off to do whatever it was that they felt like doing that day, Yami was not too curious about that subject. Seto, on the other hand, headed upstairs to talk to Jou and then go to his lab afterwards, planning to start fixing up a formula. Yami himself went to get something for Yugi to eat before heading to the human’s room.

When Yami opened the door to the room he found a sight inside that he thought he was not going to get to see for weeks yet: Yugi, dressed in nothing but his boxers. Yami, acting like a good soon to be mate should, immediately turned around and looked away. Keeping his eyes focused on the walls and floor the demon made his way over to the emptied tray on the table by the bed, replacing the tray with the one he had brought with him.

Just as Yami was about to start heading back towards the door he heard a thump, caused by something large falling on the floor. Turing around to look at what had caused the sound Yami’s eyes fell on Yugi, who was not on his knees on the floor, staring at him in fright.

"Don’t worry little one. I was just about to leave you alone”, Yami spoke in a soothing tone of voice to the small human. “But I am going to let you know that a friend of mine is going to come here later on and have a little talk with you. I hope you will be okay with that." Without waiting to see if Yugi was going to say or do anything in response, Yami headed out through the door and down to his own room to think some more. He needed to have a plan B, just in case Jou failed to gain Yugi’s trust.

A.N. I hope you all liked this chapter and the hard work that me and Darth put into it.
