Brandon Caral was a regular worker at Kaiba Corps. He worked on the same floor that Ice Lord Seto's main office building; the Vampire Lord has surprisingly lightened up a bit after his mating to the former Hunter, much to the displeasure of his secretary, and he had lightened up even more when his mate gave birth to his children: two twins that were cute has buttons and could cause more mischief then a group of foxes.

He had no sooner thought about the twins then they burst out of the elevator and started running around the office and into cubicles hugging people, saying things like : "I love you" and "You are doing a very good job", and sometimes they even stayed long enough to talk to them about kid stuff. He was more then a little surprised when the daughter jumped onto his lap and hugged him hard enough to nearly crack a few ribs and started talking about random things.

"You know my daddy loves my mommy," said the girl bouncing up and down on his knee.

"I am sure he does," said Brandon, absentmindedly.

"They wrestle every night!"

Brandon shifted nervously in his seat and tried not to let his mind drift into the adult definition of that.

"Did you know that when they kiss it looks like Daddy is eating her face and that sometimes he likes to bit her neck!"

"Um," said Brandon, the girl was starting to go more into her parents' love life then he really wanted to know.

"When I get older will you marry me?" asked Alaw, out of thin air.

The entire office got silent has everyone looked into the cubicle of Brandon. The sound of a throat clearing caught his attention and he looked up into the icy blue eyes of his boss.

"Mr. Kaiba," greet Brandon, swallowing the lump in his throat.

"Mr. Caral," responded Seto coldly. "I would like to see you in my office. Now."

Arashi and Bakura had been sent to look into a lead of a rebel base settled in Egypt, a country in which it is rumored that King Yami's lineage began. They rode white stallions across the cooling desert sands as the sun god dipped low in the horizon casting shadows filled with a sinister intent. They pulled their horses to a stop at the opening of a pyamid that looked as if it had been opened recently yet there was no sign that workers had been there or still were; though the smell of old blood was thick in the air that even with her human nose Arashi could smell it and feel the grief.

"Do you think that the renegades came across the workers and slaughtered them before cleaning up any traces of them?" asked Arashi, pulling the veil down from her nose now that the wind had died down.

"That is the only possible explanation," said Bakura gruffly, feeling the all too familiar feeling of blood lust rise within him.

"Are you alright love?" asked Arashi, placing a worried hand on his shoulder.

"Yes," said Bakura, after awhile. "I am fine just old habits rising up."

"Do you need refreshing?" asked Arashi, offering him her wrist a gesture she had made time and time again to him.

"No my love," said Bakura, lowering her hand the last time he had taken blood from her it had nearly killed her because the sweetness and purity of her blood had nearly driven him to madness and in the end left him with a feeling of guilt like he had broken some sacred oath. "I do not wish the events of the path to repeat itself.

"Come then," said Arashi, climbing off her horse. "We have rodents to exterminate."

Bakura smirked, "sounds like fun."

Together the two of them descended the stairs into the main part of the pyramid.

"It is far too quite," said Arashi, after several minutes of walking down a long narrow pathway in silence. "I don't like this at all."

Bakura sniffed the air no one was here and probably hadn't been for a week; he growled a week ago they had been sent here. There was a leak in the operation and the only other four people in the room were Ice Lord Seto and his lady, Fire Lady Pernia, the king and his younger brother. Yet neither of them seemed like someone that would betray the plan; and certainly not the king.

"I think this place as been abandoned because I believe they were informed in advanced."

"But who would know about our plans!"

Bakura sighed and shook his head he had no idea but he wondered if the bitch of a secretary that worked for Kaiba had something to do with; he wouldn't put it past the whore she had been trying for months to get the Ice Lord into her bed.

"Oh my God," whispered Arashi, breaking into Bakura's thoughts.

"What is it?" asked Bakura turning to look at his mate and then focusing his eyes on what she had been focused on. "What the hell," he whispered.

Yami leapt from branch to branch, he could smell his mate's scent in the air but it wasn't really her scent it seemed almost tainted by some dark presence. He frowned and sped up intent on getting to her

Author's Notes: I was going to make this chapter longer but I think this is a good spot to end it at.
