++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A freezing gray fog gather in the cursed forest underneath the full moon. The moonlight and fog all seemed to gather in one place, a large clearing in the curse woods were an giant magic symbol of darkness was carved. A small boy stood there shivering in from cold and fear. He was tonight's offering. His small village had for centuries been at the mercy of the vampire lord that lived the ancient castle on the mountain. They had worked out long ago that they would offer up a young innocent every year to quench this foul creatures thirst for their own lives. The boy, Yugi, had the misfortune of being pure and beautiful. Now his life would end because of it.

"Hmmm, you seem like a sweet one." mused a deep seductive voice that seemed to come from all directions.

"W-where are you?" asked Yugi terrified. He knew it was the vampire. For a moment nothing, but then a pair of strong hands grabbed his shoulder from behind and spun him around.

Yugi gasped. The vampire looked so much like himself! They had the same tri-colored blonde, black, and hair but the blonde was more prominent on the vampires head. But the vampire was head taller then the petite boy and he had deep, hypnotic crimson eyes. They were incredibly entrancing and Yugi found himself unable to look away.

"You're so innocent, so beautiful." whispered the vampire tracing a clawed finger across the Yugi's cheek and across his soft pink lips. He clucked at the deep blush that crossed the little one's face. "You are going to be with me for a very long time, my little pet." He licked his lips and lowered his head to the Yugi's neck eager the mark the boy as his.

"Tell me, what is my new pet's name?" he asked. His hot breath caressed the scared boy's delicate skin sending a shiver down his spine.

"Yugi." choked the small teen hardly above a whisper.

"I am Yami, your master." With a hiss, the vampire sank is long ivory fangs into Yugi's flesh. Yugi let out a horrific cry of agony.

"Stop! It hurts!" screamed Yugi beginning to struggle. Yami just warped his powerful arms around the little one's waist possessively and pulled him closed. Yami was blinded by bloodlust, he had never had anyone so sweet. Yugi's blood lacked the normally coppery taste but instead tasted like honey.

"Please..." begged Yugi weakly. He was beginning to feel tried and the pain had stopped. It was beginning feel pleasurable. A soft moan escaped his lips. Yami removed his fangs form the boy and kissed Yugi deeply his blood stained lips.

"Now my-" Yami stopped, suddenly feeling an unfamiliar presence. It was human, but not a normal human's aura. He could smell the blood of other vampires on the one.

"Come out, hunter." hissed Yami pulling Yugi, who had now passed out, up against him. "I can smell the blood of my brothers and sisters on your wretched soul!"

Damn! The blood shucker had sense him. With the element of surprise lost, he obeyed.

Out of the trees stepped a tall young man with brown hair and emotionless, deep blue eyes that were as cold as ice. He was wearing mismatched armor, a gold cross necklace, and was armed with a large crossbow.

"Filthily hunter." spat Yami glaring at the man with fiery contempt. "Do not interfere, this boy has given himself up willingly to me, he his mine." Yami's eyes glowed an eerie blood red. The hunter, however, remained unfazed.

"The boy's grandfather paid me rescue his grandson and destroy you." explained the stone faced hunter. He then lifted his crossbow and aimed at Yami. "I have never failed before and am not about to start with you." Yami just laughed.

"As much as would enjoy enjoy killing you, I have much more appealing matters to attended to." mocked Yami running one his hands through Yugi's hair. "Good-bye for now, hunter."

"Like fuck you will!" yelled the hunter firing his weapon, but it was too late. The vampire vanished with his captive and the silver arrow struck nothing but the damp earth.

"Damn it!" cursed Seto Kaiba in frustration. It was the first time a vampire had ever escaped from him and he was furious. "The next time we met vampire, I will send back to the depths of Hell!"
--------------------------------------------

He was tried, cold, and most of all, afraid. Only a few short hours ago, he was just a happy young man living a simple but happy life with his loving grandfather in their small village. Those days had vanished the moment the vampire claimed him.

Yugi still had just regained some form of conscienceness, but had let to open his eyes. He could, however, hear the sounds of footsteps, he could feel himself moving, and feel an ice cool breeze wrap around him so tightly, it was like a second skin. Curiosity overwhelm his fear and he slowly opened his violet eyes.

He found himself being carried Yami and surrounded by gray stone of a vast hallway. Yugi's head was pressed against the vampires chest, he could feel it rise and fall with Yami's breath but he could hear no heartbeat. The boy shivered and looked up at his captor's handsome face.

"Where are you taking me?" Yugi asked weakly. Yami looked down at his pet with a glint of amusement in his crimson eyes.

"Why, to your room of course." Yami replied. He took a few more steps and stopped in before to large oak doors. With a load, mournful creak, the doors swung open and the vampire stepped inside. The room was huge, about the size of most of the homes in Yug's village. Large windows of blood red stain glass, which were framed by black violet curtains, lined the walls and a bed, draped with silk sheets of rich reds and purples, sat in the center. Yami made his way to the bed and laid the boy down on it.

"Go to sleep now, my little one." Yami gently commanded. "One of my servants will attend to you when you awake." He then leaned over and softly kissed Yugi on the forehead as his eyes slowly closed.

"Now to take care of some unfinished business." he muttered to himself stepping away from the bed. "Malik, Bakura, I summon you."

Suddenly every shadow in the room came to life and began to slither its way to one spot. Once there, the shadows grew and took shape until two young, dangerous looking, men stood in that spot.

"You called, Master?" asked Malik taking a small bow, the evil smirk never leaving his face.

"I have a task that you two my find quite fun." began Yami. "An old man in the village hired a vampire hunter to save his grandson from me. I want to kill the hunter, whom should be able to find by is stench, and the old man for daring to defy me."

Malik's and Bakaru's eyes lit up with an gleefully insane fire. It had been so long since they had been allowed to kill and they missed their favorite pastime so.

"Consider it done, Master Yami." declared Bakura, who was barely able to contain is excitement over his task. Then, without a sound, the pair vanished into thin air. Yami smile to himself, soon the hunter would no longer be a threat to his kind.
