Next chap of My Neko. I felt bad for the last one being so short! I'm sorry! R&R!

Yami watched Yugi and Atem from the corner. He couldn't believe some privileged purebred had gotten him. He wasn't worried however. It wouldn't be hard to get the cutie to himself. Standing he walked over.

"Yugi." Yami said.

"Huh? Oh Yami. Um Atem this is Yami. He found me." Yugi said. He looked to Atem to find him scowling at Yami. "Uhh.." he looked confused.

"Hello Atem." Yami grinned at him.

"Yami." Atem said.

Yugi looked between them. Did they know each other?

"Well you must excuse us, Yugi needs to rest." Atem said. He seemed polite but something about his tone was off.

"Oh but of course though if you don't mind I'd like a minute with him first." Yami said his tone was smug though Yugi couldn't figure out why.

"It's ok Atem." Yugi said. "I'll meet you by the door."

Atem narrowed his eyes at Yami before walking away.

Yami grinned the whole time then turned to Yugi. "So you're with Atem?"

"I...uh...not technically. I mean we aren't mated or anything." Yugi blushed.

'So I'm not too late.' Yami thought. "I see. Do you love him? A purebred?"

"Um well...wait why does matter that he's purebred?" Yugi asked.

"Oh it doesn't. He just won't understand what you've gone through." Yami said.

"Well not but.." Yugi glanced at Atem to find him glaring at Yami. "Do you two know each other?"

Yami looked at the time. "I do need to go work. I'd like to talk to you again. That sound good?" He smiled kindly.

"Oh uh yeah sure. Um where you work?" Yugi asked.

"Here. I serve. I get off at 11pm tonight." Yami smiled.

"Uh well then I can come back for 11." Yugi said. "I better get going though."

Yami nodded stiffly.

Yugi went to Atem. "Hey I-"

"Let's go." Atem took his hand and pulled him out before he could finish.

"Atem?" Yugi questioned.

"Hush." Atem said. They went back to the house.

"Atem what's going on?" Yugi asked.

"Yugi." He gently pressed him against the wall. "Stay away from him."

"What?" Yugi asked. "What are you-"

"Stay away from Yami. He'll do nothing but hurt you. I don't want you near him." Atem said.

"Atem he saved me." Yugi said.

"He wouldn't have had to if you didn't run off." Atem said.

"I...I explained why I did that Atem. I thought you understood." Yugi said.

"I do. I do." Atem took his face gently. He kissed him. "I understand I just don't want Yami hurting you. I want you."

Yugi blushed deeply. "Atem." he said just above a whisper.

"Atem come. We have a video conference with Seto's owner." Akio called.

"Coming Master." Atem said. He looked at Yugi and kissed him again before going.

Yugi stood there a bit in shock before sighing. He was so confused. What history was between Yami and Atem? Why did Atem feel so harshly towards Yami? And what did it have to do with him? He knew Atem warned him to stay away from Yami but he needed answers. Tonight he'd sneak out go see Yami and hopefully get the answers he needed.

That night Atem fell asleep easily. Yugi waited till he was sure Atem was asleep before sneaking over to The Alley. Yugi looked around for Yami. He found him serving a table of Nekos. He went over.

"Yami." Yugi said.

Yami looked. "Hey kid. You're looking better."

"I feel better. Thank you." Yugi nodded.

"Well I get off in five minutes so just hang out for me at the bar alright? I'll be there after I change." Yami smiled.

Yugi nodded and sat at the bar. Yami had kept to his word. He was off and changed five minutes later and sitting next to him.

"Glad to see you're better. Maybe next time you won't run out just before a blizzard." Yami said.

"Uh well I wasn't accounting for the blizzard. Actually I just left because well…" Yugi looked down at the drink he'd ordered.

"Because?" Yami asked. "Come on kid you can talk to me."

"I didn't feel like I belonged there. I mean since Atem is a purebred and I'm a street born." Yugi said.

"I see. Well I can understand that. How could you possibly relate to someone like him?" Yami asked before ordering himself a drink.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Yugi asked looking at him offended for Atem.

"Easy kid. I don't mean that in a bad way...per say." Yami said.

Yugi's eyebrows furrowed. "Then what per say do you mean?"

"Well the guy's a purebred." Yami said.

"So?" Yugi asked.

"Do you really think he could understand what it means to live on the streets?" Yami asked and sipped his newly arrived drink. "Listen kid learn it from someone who's been in your position. That guy doesn't understand what it means to live out of a sweet loving place like that."

Yugi blinked. "What happened between you two?"

Yami snorted. "I'm not surprised he didn't tell you. After all, he doesn't like to take responsibility for anything."

"What do you mean? Did he hurt you? I can't see Atem hurting any-"

"You wouldn't. You've only seen his sweet loving side." Yami said as he stared at his drink coldly. "He wouldn't show you anything real."

Yugi was silent for a moment before speaking. "Yami why does he hate you?"

"No. If he merely hated me he would have gone through with his orders." Yami said.

"Gone through with what order?" Yugi asked.

"It's nothing." Yami suddenly had a smile on though Yugi could tell it was fake. He'd seen that type of smile enough from his brother in the past. Any time Heba decided he needed to hide something he'd put that smile on and change the subject. It took months for Yugi to finally get the truth about Heba being sick because he'd hid it for so long. He always blamed his fatigue on the whether or lack of food.

"Yami." Yugi said. He took his hand. "What hap-"

"I told you not to see him again." Yugi's eyes widened a bit before he turned and saw Atem.

"Atem I-" Yugi started.

"Piss off. We're just talking. Besides…." Yami turned and smirked at Atem. "...it's not like you two are mated."

"Tch." Atem glared. "Same old Yami. All technicalities right? Just because we aren't technically mated you think you can take him."

Yami stood making Yugi let go of his hand. Yugi looked between them. They both looked so angry. Were they going to fight or something?

"Same old Atem. Thinking you own everything just because you were born." Yami snarled. "You haven't changed either."

Atem growled. "Yugi come here."

Yugi looked at him.

"Did not hear me? Come here now." Atem growled looking at him.

"Oh no do stay Yugi. After all I won't order you around like him." Yami smirked.

Yugi looked between them. "I...I…" he gulped.

"Yugi." they both said.

Yugi got up. They wanted him to choose? Now? But how? Why?

"You didn't tell him anything Atem. Is that because you know he'd see that you're the one to blame?" Yami asked.

"I only did what I had to." Atem growled.

Yami laughed. "What you had to do? Is that how you sleep at night? You tell yourself that crap?"

Yugi gulped and looked at Atem.

"Shut up. Yugi come here now!" Atem yelled.

Yami smirked and pulled Yugi close. He smirked at Atem before kissing Yugi. Yugi's eyes widened. This kiss was different than Atem's. It was gentle but demanding.

Atem growled. "Get away from him!"

Yami broke the kiss and laughed at Atem's reaction. "What you gonna do Atem? I have kissed him now too. What will you do about it?"

Yugi blinked and pulled away with a deep blush. "Y-Yami why-"

"You think you can just take him? Just like that? Oh no. Master plans for us to mate." Atem said.

"Master? You let someone own you so damn easily. It's disgusting." Yami snarled. "You just give up yourself to a man who buys you?"

"As opposed to what? Living from place to place? Never having a home? Always alone? Is that truly a life?" Atem asked. "Is that what you want for Yugi who's just barely gotten off the street? Who's been struggli-"

"You don't know anything about the struggles of those on the streets so don't speak so freely about it!" Yami growled. "You were born privileged and never had to do anything for yourself!"

Atem growled as his fists clenched.

Yugi looked at Atem then down. "Is that true?"

"Go on and tell him Atem." Yami smirked.

Atem sighed. "Yes Yugi. It's true. But that doesn't mean I can't love you."

"You? Love? Ha!" Yami said. "Is that what you thought when you caused everything?"

Atem growled.

"Come Yugi. Don't worry. I have a safe place for us to stay." Yami smirked before picking Yugi up. Yugi let out a shocked yelp. Yami winked before he ran out with Yugi.

Atem growled and ran after him, but by the time he got to the door Yami was gone with Yugi. "Damn it!" he slammed the wall with his fist.

Yugi grunted when Yami dropped him on mattress. He looked around before looking up at Yami.

"W-where are we?" Yugi asked.

"My home." Yami said.

"Why'd you bring me here?" Yugi asked sitting up. "I should go home."

"No." Yami said.

"Y-Yami?" Yugi asked timidly.

"I'm not gonna hurt you Yugi. And you can very well go home in the morning but it's nearly midnight now and you'll never find your way back in the dark." Yami said.

Yugi looked down. "Why did you take me?"

"So we can talk." Yami said turning to a table. Yugi looked to see it had a few cups and a bottle of water.

Yugi gulped. "Th-that's it?"

"I know you're on your mating cycle." Yami said.

Yugi tensed. Was Yami planning on taking advantage of his cycle? Was he planning to…

"Calm down. I'm not planning forcing a mating upon you." Yami said pouring water into one of the cups.

"Y-you're not?" Yugi relaxed. "Thank you."

"I do want to discuss mating though." Yami said giving him the cup.

Yugi looked at him. "Oh uh thank you." Yugi said taking it.

"Yugi you don't realize it but you're kittens would get a lot of money paid for them if you are with the right mate." Yami said taking his own cup of water.

Yugi gulped.

"Relax I'm not planning on doing anything like that. But you need to see that when word gets out about you more and more people will come after you." Yami said.

"Why? How do you know this?" Yugi asked.

"Because that's what happened...between Atem and I. I was targeted that way. Some guy named Dartz was and still is collecting a bunch of Nekos and Inus to breed. He was after me and Atem. He wanted us and he got us. Forced us to breed and I got pregnant. But before I was even had them we escaped. In the process my stomach was hit and it came down two me or the kittens." Yami looked down. "I was unconscious. I didn't even get a choice. Atem told the doctor to save me. The doctor removed the kittens and not one of them made it. I never got to hold them see them nothing."

Yugi felt terrible for that.

"Atem should've waited. Given me a choice. If it came to it I would have chosen them to be saved. They were more important." Yami said his grip tightening on the cup. "But no. He took them from me. He just...took them from me." Yami let tears fall. "My kittens."

Yugi couldn't help it. He dropped the cup and hugged Yami. He held him close as he cried.

"Oh Yami." Yugi sighed. "I had no idea. I'm so sorry." He said gently. "But I think you need to talk to Atem."

"No. No i can't. I've given up on that." Yami sniffled.

"You mean you tried?" Yugi asked.

"Of course I did. I'd...I'd fallen in love with Atem. And I thought he'd loved me too but I guess I was just another street Neko to him." Yami said. He wiped his eyes.

"Yami...why did you kiss me?" Yugi asked. "Was it just to spite him?"

Yami stayed silent.

"I see." Yugi looked down.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done it." Yami said.

Yugi nodded. "No you shouldn't have. Please where can I sleep? Its been a very tiring day." Yugi said.

"You can use the mattress." Yami said standing. "Goodnight Yugi." Yami said before walking out.

Yugi looked down before laying down. He curled up. "Heba what did I get myself into?" He asked knowing he wouldn't get an answer. He closed his eyes and to his surprise he fell asleep instantly.

The next morning Yugi awoke to the sun in his face. He looked around and saw Yami nowhere. He knew Yami said he wouldn't stop him from going home but still he thought it'd be best for both of them if he left without seeing Yami. Sighing he got up and went to the front door what the shack they were in.

Yugi opened the door to find Atem. "A-Atem."

"I thought he'd bring you here. Where is he?" Atem growled.

"I-I don't know." Yugi said

"Bullshit are you covering for him." Atem said

"No! I really don't know where he is. I woke up and I couldn't see him anywhere. How'd you find me?" Yugi asked.

"This has been his squatting place for a while now." Atem said grabbing his hand. "Let's go. Before he gets back." he pulled him out. He started walking to fast for Yugi to keep up.

"Atem slow down! He said he wouldn't try to stop me from leaving." Yugi said trying to pull his hand free. Atem was holding it too tightly.

Atem snorted. "Yeah right. As if that mongrel would keep his word."

Yugi tensed at what Atem called Yami. "A mongrel? Is that how you see him?"

"It's what he is Yugi." he stopped and turned to the younger Neko. "He's a mongrel plain and simple."

Yugi gulped and ripped his hand free. "Is it because he's a street Neko?"

Atem was silent.

"Well!?" Yugi demanded. "Is it!?"

"Yugi I don't look down on him because he's a street Neko. I never have." Atem said.

"Then what!?" Yugi yelled.

"Its history." Atem said looking away.

"Are you upset by it too?" Yugi asked. "About what happened to the kittens?"

Atem looked at him with wide eyes. "How do you…?"

"Yami told me." Yugi said. "Are you?"

"It wasn't an easy thing to do Yugi. I had to choose between him and the kittens. I couldn't give Yami up. But when he woke up and found out…" Atem sighed. "He lost it. Told me to rot in hell and that I had no heart. Told me it wasn't my decision and that I had no rights to do it."

Yugi looked at him. "He's grieving his kittens Atem. You have to understand where he's coming from."

"I never said I didn't! But he needs to understand too! Which he refuses to do so fuck it. Is that it Yugi? Are you choosing him?" Atem asked.

"I-I'm not-" Yugi started

"What are you doing here?" Yami came up to them.

Atem turned to him and glared. "I came for him but thanks to you telling him that stuff he's chosen you."

"What?" Yami looked at Yugi.

"I-I di-" Yugi started

"I don't want him." Yami said looking at Atem.

Yugi flinched.

"What?" Atem asked.

"I don't want him. You can have him." Yami said in a bored tone.

"You took him just to throw him away?" Atem asked.

"You just said you'd given him up too so don't go judging me." Yami said.

Yugi looked down. "Both of you shut up."

They looked at Yugi.

"Quiet Yugi the adults are talking." Atem said in a condescending tone.

Yugi looked at him. "Excuse me?"

"Hush kitten." Yami said.

"You know what? I've made my choice. I don't want either of you. You both can go to hell." Yugi said before walking away. He couldn't believe them. They weren't any older than her was! And to think they both think THEY can decide what he does? They can both piss off!

Yugi walked to the Alley and went in. He sat at a booth and ordered himself mackerel for breakfast. He ate in silence trying to get them out of his head but no matter how hard he tried they kept coming back. Yami hated Atem for taking the kittens out and Atem hated Yami for blaming him for choosing Yami over the kittens. Yugi didn't get why they didn't just talk about it. Honestly they were both just a big idiots.

'But they're cute idiots.' Yugi thought.

Yugi groaned. "Shut up inner voice. Go away." he shook his head before continuing to eat.

'Aw but you want them. Both of them.' the voice said.

"No." Yugi said.

'Sure you do. Just think having them on each side of you. Each one doting on you and loving you.' the voice said.

Yugi hit the table. "Shut up!" He froze and saw everyone staring. Blushing he looked down at his fish. "Shut up." he muttered to the voice.

"You know kid it's not nice to yell." Yugi's eyes snapped up to see Atem and Yami.

"What do you want?" Yugi growled looking away.

"Look Yugi we're sorry." Atem said.

"Yeah. We shouldn't have treated you like that. We were wrong." Yami said.

"I'll say." Yugi muttered. "Bakas."

"Bakas? You really think we're idiots huh?" Yami asked sitting down.

"Yes." Yugi nodded. He picked at the mackerel.

Atem sat on the other side of Yugi making him feel squished in even though he had plenty of space to move. "We shouldn't have pushed our past on you like that."

"And...we talked about it." Yami said. "You were right. If we'd just talked to each other we would have worked things out sooner."

"Great so you two are happy. Fantastic." Yugi muttered.

"Its more than that. We decided we both want you." Atem said

Yugi tensed. Were they going to fight over him again? Didn't they learn anything from this?

"With us." Yami said.

Yugi looked at Yami. "What?"

"We want the three of us to give it a try." Yami smiled.

Yugi looked at Atem who nodded a smile on his face too.

Yugi looked back at his food. "You...really want me?"

"Yes." they both said.

He stared down not sure what to say to that. Yugi felt Atem move before a hand pulled his chin gently to him and planted a kiss on his lips. Freezing for a second he looked at Atem before kissing back. Yami then did the same. These kisses were different. Atem's was more demanding while Yami's was gentler.

They smiled down at him. "Well?"

Yugi sighed. "You two are such Bakas. Thinking you'd kiss me and I'd just jump into your arms. Just like that?"

"Well we were hoping that." Yami said rubbing the back of his neck.

"I'll give you guys a chance." Yugi said.

Yami looked at him. "You will? Really?"

"Yes." Yugi nodded.

Atem smiled.

Yami pulled him into a hug. "Thank you!"

"Hey let go!" Yugi pushed him off. "It's not going to be easy though."

"We wouldn't expect it to be." Atem said.

Yugi nodded. He'd give them a chance.

Ok i hope this was long enough. Please review!
