"Yami I told you. You didn't need to come with me" Yugi said the next afternoon.
"I promised to protect you. And what if those Fallen ones decide to pass by here again?"
"I'm just saying that if you get hungry again, Ryou gets scared really easily"
"Don't worry. At the moment I'm fine"
The conversation went on as the two brothers were walking in the roads of Domino. Yugi had to drop by Ryou to excuse himself for the last few days he hadn't contact with him for the project they had and to plan a meeting. Yami on the other hand although he seemed cool, he had said around fifty prays since that morning not to bite Yugi again especially with the other child close by.
"Well where have you and your friend agreed to meet?"
"At eight o clock, at the bar his father has"
"At a bar?" Yami exclaimed worried
"Yes. He works there to get better pocket money. Is everything alright?"
"Y…yes…no problem…let's go…" and started walking again.
One drop of cold sweat ran down his cheek. Yugi looked at him for a second, a bit confused he had became nervous all of the sudden but he shrugged it away and followed him.

Soon they reached the bar with the name "Twilight"
The sky was painted with the colors of the setting sun. Yami stood there at the entrance and gulped nervously. Then he followed Yugi inside. The bar was full. It was dark and only the colorful lights were illuminating the place. Everywhere you could see young people dancing in the rhythm of the music or drinking their drinks. Yami was walking among them trying not to touch any of them, which was something difficult since everybody was dancing however he wanted not caring who they stepped on or whom they bumped into. He started gasping again and cold sweat showered him.
"I'm going to Ryou for a minute! I'll be right back!" Yugi yelled over the loud music
"I can hear you! You don't need to shout!" Yami yelled back
"Oops! I forgot!" Yugi said naturally.
"It doesn't matter!" Yami yelled (he might was a vampire and he had sharp hearing but Yugi no)
"I'll be right back" and headed inside leaving Yami alone.

Yugi reached the bar's other side where behind a bar-counter one young albino that was sweeping a glass. Ryou was a likeable, helping boy. His hair was as white as snow and reached his shoulders and was tame less like a white bush. His bright green eyes were sparkling happily. He raised his head and saw Yugi approaching.
"Yugi, I'm so happy you managed to come!"
"What's up, Ryou? Sorry for distracting you from your work"
"No distraction! Come to treat you a juice"
"I won't offend you!"
Ryou served for each a glass of juice.
"Well, why did you disappear?"
"Sorry…I had a lot in my mind and my brother…"
"Yami? Ah, yeah, really how is he? I haven't seen him for ages"
"Y…yeah…He's been through a difficult phase lately and he was a bit ill"

Meanwhile Yami was standing motionless among people, suffocating in his struggle to breathe properly so he wouldn't be betrayed. The place was closed and full to capacity and that wasn't helping at all. From everywhere were coming smells of dozens of people's blood. Every single smell was different and it was mixed with the smell of the drinks and the alcohol. This combination was almost making him dizzy while, vaguely, all other sounds around were stopping and he was hearing only the people's hearts that were around him. He covered his ears with his hands but as they were dancing they were pushing him or bumped into him. That's it! His instinct couldn't hold back any longer. He half-closed his eyes in case they were glowing red in the half-darkness. The veins of his neck were throbbing again.
"What should I do…what should I do…What should I do!!" he was thinking.
He didn't know neither how nor why he did that, but he headed to the bar and asked for a drink with alcohol. The barman showed him some vodka.
"Yeah. That's fine!" Yami rushed to answer while he was desperately trying to keep his fangs drown back.
With the corner of his eye he saw the barman who was ready to serve the drink in a small glass.
"What are you doing? Bring the bottle in here!" Yami said sharply.
The barman, half-shocked, half-scared, gave him the bottle and took the money Yami had thrown on the bar. Yami brought the bottle to his lips and drank a couple of full sips. As the alcohol ran down his throat, he felt his heart and instincts calming down a bit.
"It's not blood…" he thought, "…but it helps"

"…And as we said, Ryou. I'll come to help you with the project as soon as I can."
"Okay bud. I'll finish it myself. After all I love physics"
"Anyway, I thank you in advance no matter what'll happen. I must get going now. I have left Yami alone and he's gonna kill me! See ya!" and left running
From some meters away saw Yami sitting at the bar. He approached him saying,
"Sorry for keeping you waiting"
Then he saw Yami taking a swing from the bottle and understood what he was drinking. His jaw dropped to the floor. Yami turned his head and saw him.
"Oh. Hello Yugi"
"How much have you…drunk…?"
Yami looked at the bottle and shrugged.
"A couple"
"You'll get drunk! Stop it!"
But Yami shook his finger in a negative way.
"It doesn't affect me at all, really" and took one more swing from the bottle.
Yugi was staring him with wide eyes. He gulped.
"This bottle…was already half-empty…?"
Yami looked at the bottle again.
"Not this one" he said as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
"Not this o…?!"
Yugi's shocked voice was cut in the mid-sense when he noticed the second bottle on the bar, empty.
"You mean that this is the second one?!"
"Not exactly. The previous one was half-empty" and drank a couple of sips
"You'll get drunk! Don't drink any more!"
Yami looked at him a bit irritated.
"Do you prefer to bite some neck and drink somebody's blood?"
Yugi got silent immediately and looked around. All those people dancing almost stepping over each other and Yami sitting at the bar and realized his mistake.
"Oh, Yami…I…you're right. You're absolutely right! Let's get out of here!"
"I am right behind you!" he said and continued pouring the vodka into his throat.
"Stop drinking!"
"Now…now…I paid for it!"
He finished the rest with a couple of sips.

Yami felt relieved he had left from that place, even though he was feeling his need for blood coming back again. Trying not to look towards Yugi's direction and get tempted again, he started walking with Yugi walking beside him. Yugi, on the other hand, had widened his eyes and was staring at Yami from top to toe. In the end Yami couldn't take it anymore and burst out
"Yugi, stop staring at me as I'm ready to collapse! I told you, I'm not drunk! I can stand on my feet just fine!"
"I can see that but I can't believe it!"
"Ah, so you believed in all the rest and you can't believe in this?"
"Yeah…I mean…after one and a half liter of vodka…"
Yami smiled. He stopped and kneeled down so he was the same level with Yugi.
"I know you're worried about me but believe me, I don't get drunk that easily"
However he did the mistake to touch Yugi's shoulders and he felt his warmth. Vaguely his eyes focused on his neck. He immediately stood up with his hand on his neck.
"Is everything alright?"
"Yes, yes! Let's go"

It was night when they reached the Game Shop. Yugi yawned sleepily.
"Go to sleep, Yugi. It's too late for you"
Yugi unlocked the door.
"I will come back. I just want to take some fresh air"
Yugi stood at the door for a little because he knew that Yami meant a lot more than just 'fresh air'. By just watching him, Yami was feeling the need to bite him and was struggling with all his being not to rush on him right there and then. He turned his back to Yugi and said
"Go, Yugi. I'll return"
And giving a strong leap he disappeared in the night…
Well the next chapter!

Yes! Ryou is Ryou Bakura! I'm just keeping the name Ryou and yes I am desctibing him as he was in season 0.
