OK, people, I'm not dead. ^.^;; And my brother's been okay for about wo, maybe three months. Speaking of which, he's moved out... (;~;)

I just had a major writer's block for this story...

AND I created another one. Which has no reviews... (*Sigh*)

Onto the story, then! ^_^

~*~

The black dragon knew everything about Yuugi's Such as, there were three humans, but two of their scents had disappeared, three full-blooded dragons, Yuugi himself, and the human that was still there was a slave to the dragons.

After some quick research, the creature found that the slave would become a problem, as well as the three dragons.

What to do...

the black dragon screeched. Get your sorry little ass over here!

A small, skinny, silver dragon poked its head out from behind a very dirty rock. Its chocolate eyes were grayed with fatigue, fear, and sorrow.

He wasn't one we would call okay. His silver scales were scuffed; his ear ripped; his claws were overgrown, chipped, and rugged; his mane of silvery, snow-like hair stained with his and many others blood and dirt; his wings' leathery material was torn and slashed, making flying near impossible. His tail showed teeth marks and holes in the scales, and his front left shoulder's scale was missing completely.

Ryou crawled to his master, who had saved him from the human hunters. He had stolen a scarp of bread from a hospital, which was considered breaking the law.

And then, the Master came and massacred those who were about to kill him and their families.

You did not come fast enough, slave. Six... no, sixty points taken away.

The silver dragon quivered under the black dragon's gaze. I am sorry, master... It won't happen again.

Points were your food. One point would be one crumb. If you were lucky, sometimes two crumbs stuck together from the Master's raid of the humans, or you got something that was flavored. Sixty points would be six days with no food.

A dragon can only survive seven days without food.

Let's hope not; you'll be dead if it does, the dragon sneered. Anyway, I've got a job that will earn you 100 points...

This caught everyone's attention. The few slaves that were ordered to clean the Master's room paused in their scrubbing of the dirty cave walls and glanced over their shoulders, looking at the shivering mass of silver scales in awe.

They got an average of 5 crumbs per day for their backbreaking work.

Yes, 100 points, the black dragon purred. IF you do what you're told.

And so Ryou listened as the slaves went back to cleaning the endless cave walls to his master's new dastardly plan.

~*~

Yami opened his eyes slowly, sleep straining them, trying to keep him asleep to the best of its abilities.

Winning the war, Yami yawned, stretched, and fell back down on the soft pillows that were conjured up by one of the dragons the night before. Smiling sleepily, he licked his lips to taste his Yuugi's flavor, even if it was only on his nose.

And yes, Yami was claiming what was his. His and no one else's.

Looking around the cave that was to be his home, Yami saw the recesses of what had all happened last night. Bakura, the threesome's personal slave, was huddled into a corner, looking comfortable as he slept. The platinum hair was, once again, dyed another atrocious color. Yellow; bright and lively, two things that had never accompanied the slave's other attributes.

Sapphire was showing signs of fatigue just as Bakura did. The mane atop her head was ruffled; the places where her skin showed was covered in scratches; and her scales were scuffed. Curled up into a ball, she was sleeping soundly.

Demon and Skullz were sprawled over the twelve footed table, snoring loudly. Demon was on his back, feet hanging somewhat limply in the air. Skullz was laying on Demon's stomach, mouth open in a lopsided grin at whatever he was dreaming about.

And Yuugi...

Yuugi was snuggled up against Yami's chest, soft breaths exiting and entering through his nose. His slightly sharp eyes were closed contentedly; his tail wrapped around both men loosely; and his wings folded along his back.

Smiling, Yami tenderly stroked Yuugi's raven-like hair with his clawed hand.

Then it hit him.

A clawed hand.

Yami's liquid crimson orbs surveyed his new body in awe. Black tissue claws sharp as a dagger; curled, pointy tail; thicker, darker hair; leathery wings; and scales randomly places around his frame.

Do you like it? came a gentle voice.

Yami twitched and blinked in surprise. was his intelligent reply.

I asked, do you like it?

Yami looked down at Yuugi's fuschia colored eyes, and blinked again. What are you doing up so early?

Yuugi looked amused. The question's mutual. And, it's, in human standards, three in the afternoon.

Yami glanced at the cave's entrance. True enough, the sun was blaring through the large hole and hitting the gems embedded into the rock, making them shine and sparkle in the afternoon light.

You're avoiding the question, too.

Yami turned his attention back to Yuugi.

So, do you like it, or not? Yuugi repeated.

Yami's new black ears flattened, and he looked away in thought. Did he like it? That would be a very sad understatement. Yuugi was watching him silently, waiting for an answer.

he asked impatiently.

I don't know, Yami finally said. I need to... test it, first.

Yuugi was silenced by Yami's lips over his own. Yuugi's lips were warm and tangy. Very delectable and very kissable.

It wasn't an intimate kiss; just a short and sweet one. Like when high-school students get their first kiss from their partner at that time. Though, Yami did lick Yuugi's lips in curiosity, causing shudders to course through Yuugi's and his bodies.

When Yami pulled away, breaking the sudden kiss, Yuugi was something to laugh at. His eyes were slightly wider; his mouth was open; and his eyebrows were almost up to his hairline in astonishment.

Yes... Yes, I think I like it, Yami said, smirking at Yuugi's awed state.

Yami's voice jolted Yuugi back from La-La Land, and into the strange reality that was his home.

He blinked.

Oh. Right. Gotcha.

Still very amused at Yuugi's still absent mind, Yami looked around his new home once more.

And his eyes fell upon a silver dragon.

~*~

Who guessed? What you'd think I'd leave Ryou out? Pssh.

I gave a kiss to everybody that was waiting. ^_^ Hope you all like it!

*Stretches* Maybe another story tomorrow. Dunno. I start school (*Shudders*) in two days... We'll see.

Can I tell you guys out there about an incredible Harry Potter fan fiction? To start off, this might catch your eye. It's been translated into four different languages besides English, and--

Get this. It's been published.

Now, did that catch your eye, or what?
