Yugi stared down over at the small crowd from his throne, while his brother was out searching for his mate he was in charge.

`Why do I have to be in charge?' thought Yugi pouting slightly. `I have no idea what I am doing. Dad never trained me in this! He only trained Yami!'

"Come on Yugi," said Joey softly from his right side. "You've got to give some kind of order."

Yugi opened his mouth to say something which would have made things worse, since he had no idea what he was doing when Bakura and Arashi walked in dragging a badly beaten vampire renegade with them.

"Is that one of the renegades?" he asked Bakura his voice sounding nervous and broken.

"It is my prince," said Bakura bowing quickly covering up his shock at seeing the young prince and not his older brother, the king. "He is the leader of the renegades King Yami sent us after."

"Where are the others?" asked Yugi slowly gaining more confidence.

"They are either dead or in the dungeon," said Arashi smiling gently at the young prince, knowing it was his first time to give actually orders of importance.

"Um," said Yugi trying to think of what his brother normally did next.

Yugi sat their biting his lip trying to think of what his older brother would do. His friends waited patiently, or at least somewhat patiently knowing that he was trying his hardest to live up to his father and brother's expectation. Which when you are over a few hundred years old is a lot. He then remembered that his brother would ask to see all of them and then demand to know why they were going against orders.

"I want to see them," said Yugi hesitantly, causing the renegade to snort in irritation to which Bakura kicked in annoyance. "How many are left anyways?"

"Well," said Arashi waving at the renegade leader. "Aside from him there are three others left."

"Bring the other three," said Yugi nodding his head to sound confident.

"Alright!" shouted Seto waving at the guards by the door. "You heard his highness bring them out!"

The guards nodded and left the throne room heading towards the dungeon. A few minutes later the other three males were dragged before Yugi and dumped beside their companion onto the floor.

"Why are you ignoring orders from my brother?!" demanded Yugi.

"Why did he take the Daystalker to warm his bed," retorted one of them.

"That is none of your concern!" snapped Yugi. "Your duty is to follow my brother's orders and not to question his choice in a queen!"

"Your brother's queen is whore," spat the second one.

"Silence," said Arashi kicking him in the head.

"Bitch," snarled the male.

Bakura snapped and grabbed his neck lifting him off of the ground.

"If you ever call my mate that again I will break ever single bone in your body and then leave your sorry ass out in the sun to burn in hell," snarled Bakura his eyes flashing dangerously. "Do you understand me bastard?"

The male smirked and simply spat in Bakura's face which only made him angry, "your mate is a whore like our future `queen'."

"Fine," smirked Bakura turning to Yugi. "Your highness with your permission I would like to take him into the Sun Room."

Yugi nodded knowing that it was a vampire male's duty to defend the honor of his mate and the renegade had not only dishonored their future queen but his mate as well. Bakura snickered and dragged the vampire out of the throne room towards the sun room.

"Now," said Yugi. "I want to know why you betrayed your king?"

"He betrayed us and so did the rest of you when you befriended the hunters! Your father would never have approved of such a thing!" shouted one of the vampires on the floor.

"My father wanted to create a world where Humans and Vampires can live together in peace," said Yugi firmly feeling braver talking about his father. "He hoped that they would intermarry and eventually wipe out the vampire line forever. That was my father's wish and even though we may not wipe out the vampire line we will see to it that his wish for a Utopian world is made! You can either join us or die. It is that simple."

"We will never join you," said the first vampire.

"Then you die," said Rashid.

"Take them to the Sun Room!" commanded Yugi. "Let Bakura deal with them!"

As the men were being lead away Joey placed a hand on Yugi's shoulders.

"You were a bit nervous at first," he said smiling down at the younger vampire. "But in the end you did good, your brother would have been proud."

"Your highness," said Arashi bowing. "While me and Bakura were out taking care of them we heard rumors of another group far to the west in China."

"Very well," said Yugi nodding before going deep in thought wondering how to handle this. "Joey! Mai! I want you two to go to China and look into it! Keep in touch whenever you find something new!"

"Has you wish," said Joey and Mai bowing to the young prince before leaving the room.

When they left Yugi looked out at the others that were remaining trying to decide what to do next.

"Arashi," he said after a long moment of silence.

"Yes?"

"How did the rest of the mission go? You didn't run into any other problems did you?"

"The rest of the mission went well there were no Utopian causalities and no Humans were caught in the crossfire. There were no other problems that we could see aside from discovering the tidbit about the renegades in China."

"You didn't run into Arora did you?" asked Yugi.

"We did not run into the king's queen," said Arashi calmly. "I do not believe she is in the area."

Yugi stared at the former Hunter knowing she was speaking the truth; but also knowing the woman's allegiance to her friend she was hiding something as well. She was probably hiding information on where the girl was.

"If you know where she is," said Yugi slowly. "You really should tell us because otherwise you are committing treason."

Arashi sighed, "I don't know where she is."

That was the truth technically she knew in what country Arora was in, she just didn't know what part and she intended to keep the information on the country to herself.

_________________________________________________________ ____

Arora awoke to see the moon setting below the trees, there were only a few more hours left in the night. She cursed herself softly for letting her emotions get a hold of her like that. She slowly began to work on undoing her whip from around her hands and after about fifteen minutes finally managed to get it off of her wrists. She froze when she felt him stir against her and held her breath praying to the gods that he wouldn't awaken; the gods were kind to her, he didn't.

She carefully slipped from his embrace and shivered as the lack of warmth suddenly leaving; she smiled softly when she saw him shiver slightly and wrapped the leather trench coat around him. She quickly slipped back into her spandex fighting outfit and hooked the belt back around her slim waist replaced the dagger and whip in their appropriate spots. She sighed and stared down at him her eyes taking in his form one last time, she knelt silently and placed a quick kiss on his cheek before taking off into the night. She had to get to a river to bathe, and get the smell of their sex off of them. No doubt, some of the women of the village would be able to smell it and would pry wondering whom she was seeing. She couldn't risk them finding out about her and Yami she would have to be careful so she didn't reveal her neck or her chest to anyone.

She froze when she came to a small river and leapt silently across the large rocks. Slowly she removed her clothes and folded them neatly in a pile on the rock placing her weapons on top. She looked at her pants and scowled making a mental not to clean her clothes as well. Then taking a deep breathe she dived in and resurface breathing in deep shuddering breaths at the shock of the cold water. When she finally calmed down and got over the water temperature she dove again and swam for awhile before returning to the rock and swimming out to the bank where a certain flower grew that was used for cleansing purposes and would do ideally for cleaning her body and clothes of the scent that Yami left. It was while she was watching her hair that she heard a twig snap in the forest. Her eyes looked around and she slowly disappeared under the water swimming back to the rock to get her clothes and weapons. Dressing quickly she hide behind the branches of a weeping willow and waited for whomever it was to come forth and show themselves. She didn't have to wait long, because within five minutes two vampire males came into the river bank. She scowled this was all she needed she could mask the scent of sex from humans but vampires were harder to fool. They were brought here by the smell of sex and eager to get a taste of it themselves.

She took in their appearance, one of them looked to be around six feet tall and was well built, she could just make out his silver hair and his blood shot red eyes. She concluded that not only was he aroused by the smell of sex that he could faintly smell coming from her washed body; he was also probably drunk off of bline. His clothes consisted of tight jeans and a tight white shirt with brown hiking boots. His companion however, was a different story, he was probably a vampire from the higher end of the vampire hierarchy. His black hair was too his shoulder blades and he kept it in a ponytail. His black eyes were tinted with red showing that he had probably feed a few hours back. He was wearing designer black pants and a nice button up shirt. He might present a problem but not much of one.

She narrowed her eyes. Those were them all right the ones that were kidnapping the young girls of the village and playing with them until they finally drained the girls of their blood giving them a painful and slow death without being able to be reborn. She also knew that every now and then they would rape some of the prettier ones while they drained them of their blood. She knew they wanted a good fuck tonight because the smell of sex had been brought with her and now hung lightly in the night air.

`Well,' she thought sourly. `If they think I am going to bed them down, they have another thing coming.'

Silently she slipped out from behind the branches and made her way over to them. As she got closer she noticed they were trying to sniff out the approaching scent of her. She smirked and stopped in her tracks.

"Looking for something boys?" she asked tilting her hip out to the side to get them off guard.

Together they turned around and stared at her with their lust filled blood red eyes.

"Yeah," said one of them his breath reeking of bad bline proving her theory correct. "And it looks like we found it too."

"Oh?" said Arora raising a delicate eyebrow. "And what may I ask have you found?"

"You," said the other. "Tell me have you ever been with a real vampire before?"

"My, my" said Arora that is such a personal question. "But to answer your question…."

Before the vampires could react Arora snapped her whip in their direction slicing through the body of one before whirling around and slicing through the other, neatly cutting them both in half. That had been easier then she had expected she must have overestimated the one.

"Well boys," said Arora flicking her whip back into her grasp. "Since you are dead now I guess it wouldn't hurt to answer your question. Not like you will be spreading it around anyways. I have been with a real vampire."

Then Arora walked off in the direction of the village her mission was complete and all she had to do now was get paid.

____________________________________________________________ _

Bakura stared down at the bodies of the broken and destroyed males for several minutes wiping the blood from the side of his face; he was deeply satisfied with himself: he had gotten back the honor of his mate and king all at once. Not a bad day's work if he did say so himself. Arashi walked inside and found him like this: with the blood of his fellow vampires covering his body and a satisfied smirk on his face as he licked it away. She couldn't help but feel her stomach turn watching him stand over the mutilated bodies of his brethren. Her nose wrinkled as she got closer to him and was able to catch a whiff of the now drying blood and the sweat on his body from the fight

"Enjoy yourself?" she asked dryly walking around the bodies so she could stand beside him.

"I did," said Bakura turning to stare at her some blood trickling down the side of his mouth.

"You okay?" she asked gently touching his busted lip.

"Yeah," said Bakura smirking as he continued to look at his handiwork. "The bastards put up a pretty good fight. I'm glad I would have been bored if they hadn't; not to mention it wouldn't have been as much fun."

"Come on," said Arashi grabbing his hand and pulling him away from the room as the sun began to rise over the horizon. "Lets take a bath, you look like you need one and you smell like it too."

"Are you saying I stink woman?" asked Bakura raising an eyebrow in amusement.

"Maybe," said Arashi grinning at him girlishly while the sound of burning flesh filled the air followed close by the smell of it. "Or maybe it's them. Either way I don't think it would hurt for us to go take a bath."

"As long as you wash my back," said Bakura as they entered their room.

"Maybe," said Arashi stripping out of her dirty clothes.

"Wash it," said Bakura wrapping his arms around her waist and giving her puppy dog eyes over her shoulder.

"Why should I?"

"I'll wash yours," said Bakura grinning at the thought.

"Oh no, you won't," said Arashi slipping out of his embrace and turning to stare at him. "The last time you washed my back what we ended up doing wasn't washing, anything."

"Not like you complained," said Bakura walking up to her.

"No," agreed Arashi backing up. "But I am tired and I would like to go to sleep tonight. Thank you very much!"

"Okay," said Bakura shrugging.

"Okay?" repeated Arashi relaxing slightly. "Wow, you normally don't give up that easilllyyy!"

Arashi let out a startled yelp from Bakura rushed her and they went sprawling into the hot bathwater. Arashi surfaced first and sputtered out the water that had poured into her mouth.

"Was that necessary?!" she demanded when her mate surfaced with a childish smirk on his face and his clothes dripping wet and clinging to his well developed form.

"Oh come on," said Bakura. "You had fun!"

"Yeah," said Arashi smiling sweetly and motioning for him to come over to her. "I did."

Bakura grinned and swam over to her even though he could have walked. Arashi grinned and wrapped her arms around his neck and went to kiss him, only to shove his head under the water at the last second.

"Don't you ever do that agaaaaiiinnn," once more Arashi let out a startled yelp when Bakura wrapped his arms around her knees and lifted her up out of the water. "Bakura!" she screamed. "Bakura! Put me down!"

"Okay," said Bakura letting go of her legs and dropping her into the water.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh," screamed Arashi before she swallowed a mouthful of water. "Bakura!"

"You asked me to put you down," smiled Bakura stripping his wet clothes from his body and throwing them onto the stone floor lining the bath. "So I did."

"You know very well that wasn't what I meant!"

"Oh did I?" asked Bakura trying to look innocent.

"Bakura!" screamed Arashi.

"Oh stop being so coy my sweet," smirked Bakura pulling her against him so that her breasts pressed against his hard chest. "I know you enjoy our little game of cat and mouse."

"Be that as it may," said Arashi kissing his lips tenderly. "You still shouldn't have done it!"

"Oh come on my sweet," said Bakura laughing. "You had fun whether you are willing to admit that fact or not!"

"Don't flatter yourself," snorted Arashi turning her back on him and refusing to give in to the fact that being in his arms had indeed been enjoyable. "I don't enjoy what we do together that much!"

"Come on," laughed Bakura, as he nipped her neck, he just couldn't help but tease his mate. "I wasn't the one moaning so loudly last night."

"No," smiled Arashi before giggling while getting into the act of teasing Bakura right back as she leaned her head against his shoulder. "You were the one screaming last night, though."

"That was harsh," said Bakura.

"But so true," grinned Arashi.

"Stupid woman," said Bakura teasingly.

"Hey," said Tristan walking into the room. "Is that anyway to talk to your mate?"

"What are you doing in here?" asked Bakura pulling her tighter against him so the other vampire wouldn't see anything.

"Relax Bakura," said Tristan waving his hand at him. "I have no interest in your female."

"No doubt you are too interested in entertaining your own," said Bakura.

"Nope," grinned Tristan. "Hasn't been too much of that going on lately."

"Oh and why not?" asked Bakura smirking with a raised eyebrow. "Did she finally wise up and get tired of you?"

"Nope," grinned Tristan. "She is just pregnant. So," he continued slowly looking between the two. "When are you going to start having your own little bundles of joy?"

"Why did you come in here dumb ass?" asked Bakura not bothering to answer the question.

It was then that Tristan realized that he had asked the wrong question.

_____________________________________________________________

Yami awoke disoriented and rather pleased with himself at his success last night. He smiled and rolled over wondering if Arora where on the other side of him. He frowned when he discovered that he was alone again. He shot to his feet and looked around the clearing for any sign of her. He didn't see anything not a hide or hair of the girl. She had once again gone off and left him, he growled deep in his throat.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" he screamed into the rising sun his voice picking up and carrying on the wind throughout the woods until shepherds and their sheep could hear it only lonely hill sides.

The next time he ran into that woman he was going to tie her down and make her beg him to take her; and he would, he would take her in a way that would guarantee that she wouldn't think about leaving him ever again. With this thought in mind he slipped back into his clothes and tore off towards the palace, he had a meeting to get to.
