Yami sat in his throne next to his younger brother staring out at his friends and his small group of advisors. He still couldn't believe that Arora had walked off and left him like that, he should probably start looking into handcuffs; that might be the only way he could get her to stay with her. He smirked if chaining her was what it took to get her to stay by his side and in his bed then he would just have to do that. He frowned suddenly becoming serious the rebel forces were becoming more dangerous word had already gotten back that they injured Isis and the unborn child that had been growing inside her. Rashid, the mate of the former Hunter stood before him surrounded by the others with the headless bodies of the renegades at his feet and their heads in a burlap sack beside him. Vampire males were notorious for being protective over their mates and being very vengeful if someone harmed them; they were even worse if their mate was pregnant with their child.

"I take it things went well," said Yami dryly with an odd smirk on his face.

Rashid didn't say anything, then again he hardly ever did say much; all the man did was nod at his king staring down at the decapitated bodies in disgust. Isis was in the hospital wing with Umi and Mizu getting checked out for internal bleeding. It had been established long ago and the bar that the child had not survived.

"Very well Rashid," said Yami nodding. "You may go see your mate."

Rashid nodded and left as some lesser guards: Rex, Weevil, Bones, and Bandit Keith stepped forward to remove the bodies of the dead renegades. Yami then turned his attention briefly to the report that Rashid had written up on his return trip back to the palace.

We arrived at the bar within ten minutes of when the renegades normally make their entrance. The air reeked of humans and half-breed, Isis and I where the only full Vampires there at the moment. However, right on schedule the Renegades showed up and headed in our direction at once. The males' intention was obvious they wanted to try to take MY mate from me. The females wanted to try to take me from her, but they have no idea what they are getting into. They are probably only around one thousand years old at the oldest. If they had been any older they would have known the problems of what would have happen if you broke up a mated pair.

Yami frowned the young vampires today where getting selfish and not thinking before they acted. Already after his start of the Utopian world three mated couples had been broken up and twenty Vampires had been killed as a result. This was not good he would have to make sure the younger generations were taught the dangers of breaking up a mated pair. He would consider it later.

They became angry when they discovered we worked for King Yami and attacked. The result was that they attacked and knocked Isis down for the count and I went after them. After a brief fight I began to wonder if they weren't working for someone higher up in power because each of them had bite marks on their necks signs of being turned. Someone in the noble class is stirring a rebellion we just don't know who.

Yami stared down at the report looking over it one more time to make sure he hadn't missed anything. He frowned again thinking about Arora, his future queen, and their future children. To be perfectly honest what Rashid had done to the small group of renegades had probably been one of the less severe punishments a male would inflict on someone for daring to harm his mate and their offspring. Rashid to some degree probably took pity on them for being young and naïve. Yami, would not have been so kind to them if they had done the same thing to Arora and any of the offspring that might come from their union. He cleared his throat and turned to stare at his younger brother who was waiting for Yami to give him the go and explain what had happened while Yami had been out rabbit hunting so to speak.

"All right Yugi tell me what happened while I was away," said Yami.

"Well," began Yugi after a moment. "Bakura-san and Arashi-san came back with some of the renegades."

"What happened to them?" asked Yami raising a patient eyebrow.

"Well," began Yugi slowly. "They kinda insulted you, Arashi-san, and Arora-neesan. So, Bakura took them into the Sun Room and kinda tore'em to shreds, I guess."

"I see," said Yami nodding his head, his brother had done good so far, but still Yami wondered what Yugi had done to get rid of Joey and Mai. "Where are Joey and Mai?"

"Oh," said Yugi. "Bakura-san and Arashi-san said they heard rumors about another renegade vampire clan in the west so I sent them to look into it."

"Is that all?" asked Yami.

"Oh," said Yugi brightly as if he had just remembered something important, then his face fell. "They didn't run into Arora-neesan."

"I see," said Yami calmly.

"Niisan?" asked Yugi.

"Well done little brother," said Yami nodding in satisfaction ignoring the question in Yugi's tone. "Have we heard anything from Joey and Mai yet?"

"No, your highness," said Seto. "We have yet to hear anything from them yet."

"Make sure that when you hear anything from them you are to let me know at once!"

"Hai," said Seto bowing swiftly.

"Good," said Yami before getting cut off by a shriek of laughter.

The Utopian Council looked in the direction of the laughter and saw a girl a little older then one run into the room. Her medium brown hair bouncing along on the side of her face in their pigtails and her stormy blue eyes flashing with mischief, she was running around weaving in and out of the amused adults.

"Daddy!" she screamed. "Daddy! Where are you Daddy?!"

Seto sighed and scooped her up as she ran past him.

"What is it Alaw?" he asked holding her upside down her legs bent over his shoulder.

"Why does Tanau have a penis and not me?" she asked looking up at her father the best she could considering she was wearing a jumper.

"Um," began Seto trying to figure out how he was going to handle this. "He is a boy and you are a girl and that is how the gods willed it to be."

"Why?"

"I don't know," said Seto putting her down.

"Why?"

"Because I am not a god."

"Why?"

"Because I am not."

"Why?"

"…… Where is your mother?"

"Trying to get Tanau out of his clothes."

"Meeting dismissed so Seto can take care of his curious daughter," smirked Yami.

Seto glared at his king who just smirked wider and watched the Utopian Council leave.

"I swear I will pay him back for this," grumbled Seto under his breathe making his way to his wing of the large Gothic Castle.

In China______________________________________________________

Joey and Mai walked into the small hotel that looked like something that would have been used five thousand years ago. That was one of the reasons the renegades had set up shop here. Small town, not many guests, and separated from the rest of the world. No one would notice if a human or two went missing every now and then, well except for maybe the other townspeople but they were probably to terrified to do anything about it. That is what made Joey realize why the Slayers had been so highly praised they, as females should have been terrified to fight back; yet, while the male population didn't fight back most of the time they did and they fought back with vengeance.

"How long do you think it will take them to get here?" asked Mai as she unpacked their clothes.

"Not long," said Joey opening the windows and sniffing the night air gently. "Since the town folk don't see them during the mornings they must be low on the hierarchy."

"True," said Mai. "Besides, the mayor said that they normally show up around this time. So let's get changed."

Joey nodded and tossed Mai her old Hunters uniform and changed shirts and jacket so instead of white and green he was wearing black and black. They then slipped out of the window and onto the roof of the hotel and waited on the roof top for any sign of movement. Every now and then one of them would search the other rooftops to make sure everything was as it should be. An hour after the vampires were due to arrive Joey began to get agitated.

"Where are they?" he hissed. "They should have been here over an hour ago."

"I guess they aren't big on being punctual are they?" asked Mai smirking.

It was then that they heard a scraping noise and they wondered if that was them. Joey closed his eyes and reached out his senses and nodded once.

"They are coming," said Joey.

"Good," said Mai. "Because I was getting bored, well then let's go greet them."

The two vampires nodded and hurried to the town square to greet the renegades.

"Going somewhere?" asked Joey landing on the top of the fountain while his mate landed on the ring.

"Traitor to your blood," said one of the vampires flatly. "You take a Hunter to your bed!"

"I follow our King," said Joey in annoyance. "And you do not. Loyalty to ones king comes above all else!"

"Bastard, how dare you judged us!"

"Let's finish this bullshit and get on with it," said Mai rolling her eyes.

"Like my mate said," said Joey. "Let's get on with it."

"Sounds good," said the renegade.
