[AUTHOR'S NOTE: If you don't like the ship between Seto and Yugi then I wouldn't suggest reading this. I will not be doing any lemons for any ship. Also I will have some of the other ships in the next few chapters]
Seto's POV
'Ugh, why do I feel like this around Yugi' I thought. I walked downstairs and saw Yugi curled up on the couch shaking, "Yugi? Are you alright?" I asked concerned. It seemed like he had tried to force himself to stop shaking "ya, I'm fine" he replied with a shaky voice. "You're lying, you're running a fever kitten" I responded. He seemed to purr when I called him kitten. "Come on kitten, let's get you into bed and I'll make you some soup. Ok?" I said before picking him up and carrying him to my room. I gently placed him in my bed before going to the kitchen to make my little kitten some soup. I was interrupted by a knock at my front door. I walked up to the door "who is it" I asked. I peered through the window and immediately pulled away. It was Yugi's friends "what do want" I growled. "Where is Yugi" Jonouchi demanded. I growled before opening the door and letting them in. "Yugi is safe, so why don't you leave" I barked. I suddenly heard a tiny, weak voice "What's all the yelling about?" Yugi asked cutely. "It's nothing kitten, please go back to bed" I replied. "Ok" my little kitten said before heading back to my room. "Kitten? Why is Yugi here?" Anzu asked. "Yugi chose to stay here with Mokuba and me, my little kitten is not feeling well and I would appreciate if you would leave so I can get back to caring for him" I said a bit quieter as to not disturb my sleeping kitten. "I'M NOT LEAVING MY BUD HERE WITH YOU" Jonouchi shouted. I growled before I heard a growl much louder and deeper than mine coming from the top of the stairs. It took a moment to realize who it was "if you yell one more time than I won't care if you're my hikari's friends or not, I will rip your head off" Yami snarled. Everyone looked confused "a special device I created allows Yami to wonder away from the puzzle but it's limits stop at the front door" I explained. "This way Yami could protect his hikari without having to take over. What better way to scare off intruders than a spirit with a mission to protect Yugi" I said. I looked over at Anzu who was the only one who had yet to say anything "Anzu?" I questioned. She turned her attention to me "hmm" she asked. "Is something the matter, you've been awfully quiet?" I asked a little concerned. "I just miss Yugi, he's like a little brother to me" Anzu answered sadly. "Well unlike Jonouchi and Honda, you're allowed to visit anytime as long as you notify me ahead of time" I responded. She smiled "thanks Seto, come on you two, it's time we left" Anzu said shoving the two boys out the door "tell Yugi that I hope he feels better soon" Anzu called as she shut the door. Anzu wasn't so bad, I could not find a reason not to like her, she was Yugi's guardian before Yami and she had a protective older sister vibe. I walked upstairs to check on my kitten, I smiled at Yami grateful that he had helped me defuse the situation. "Did Jonouchi's yelling disturb Yugi at all?" I asked. "All the tension between you and his friends did upset him, he's on the edge of being angry that his friends behaved like that or sad that you don't get along" Yami replied, he's the best person to ask about Yugi because of his mind link with him. "Ya, I really do want to try to befriend Yugi's friends but they make it so difficult" I replied. "Hey as long as you get along with me and Anzu than that's enough to satisfy Yugi" Yami responded. "Well I do get along pretty well with you and Anzu isn't so bad, maybe if I could reel in Honda Jonouchi might give me a chance and even if he doesn't at least three of Yugi's friends will be my friends too" I said. "At the moment only two of my hikari's friends are also your friends, me and Anzu" Yami replied. "Just between us, I think Anzu likes you, she looked at you the same way I look at Yugi" I said. "Well I do somewhat feel the same, I mean it's hard not to like when she wouldn't hesitate to take on someone 2x her size to protect Yugi" Yami replied. "Guess you're right, anyway I should finish making the soup for my kitten" I said before heading to the kitchen. I headed upstairs holding a bowl of chicken soup, "kitten, I brought you some soup" I said placing the bowl on a tray in front of my precious little kitten. He yawned 'even sick he's too adorable for words' I thought as I helped him sit up so he could eat his soup. "Thanks Seto" Yugi said sleepily. I picked up the bowl after he finished eating "you didn't even eat half the soup, I'm going to call the doctor" I said before heading to the medbay "Dr. Roxy?" I questioned. Dr. Roxy, a young vixen shifter(female fox shifter), was my best doctor, she had been my doctor when I was a child, I couldn't bare to leave her behind so I hired her to work in the medbay. "Yes Seto?" Roxy asked. "My little kitten is not feeling well and he's not eating much either, I was hoping you could check him" I said. "Of course my child, I'm glad you finally found someone who makes you happy" Roxy said before heading to my room. Roxy checked his temperature. She turned to where I assume Yami was standing "well it's a pleasure to see you both again" she said. "How is my little kitten?" I asked worried. "No worries my child, your kitten will be ok. It's nothing serious, he just needs lots of rest and be sure he stays hydrated and he will feel better in no time" she said. "Thank you" I responded as she headed back to the medbay "my pleasure sweetheart" she said.
