Disclaimer: Is this really necessary?
Yami: Yes.
Who asked you?!
Yami: *Smugly* You did.
*Sighs* Oh yeah. Well, sadly, I don't own Yugioh, otherwise I'd probably be richer than Seto.
~~chapter one~~
The soft light of the moon shone dimly upon the streets of Domino City. A lone figure walked slowly past the park, humming softly to herself. Chiyoko was making her way back from work, despite how late it was. Suddenly, a noise behind her startled her.
Whirling around, she called out into the darkness. "Who's there?"
There was no response. Thinking it was only her imagination, she continued on her way.
A few minutes later, she thought she heard a noise again, but this time, she had no time to react. A small figure leaped upon her, sinking his small but razor sharp fangs deep into her neck. Even though the figure was smaller than Chiyoko, the frightened woman's attempts to get him off her were in vain. Slowly, as her blood was drained, she sank to the ground, lifeless.
The figure stood up, and wiped his mouth of the blood. Whispering softly, he bent down to gently touch the dead woman's heart. "I'm sorry."
Immediately, he rushed away, the moonlight glinting upon his wild hair.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"And now for six o' clock news!" The cheerful tv blared as Yami ate his breakfast. Bored, the vampire hunter ignored the annoying newsperson.
"-and Miyagi Aiko reported finding a dead woman, with twin punture marks on her neck. She was found with a small purple lotus shaped mark imprinted on chest. After studies, scientists have confirmed the woman died of blood loss, but this has indeed left many puzzled indeed. For there were no spilled blood-"
Yami jerked his head up from his cereal. That was the sixth reported person to be killed, and found with the twin puncture marks with the purple lotus imprint. Scientists may not know what this meant, but Yami did.
Swiftly turning off the tv, Yami snatched the phone off it's cradle and dialed a familiar number.
"Hello?" Came the voice on the other end.
"Jou, hey, it's me."
"Oh, hi Yami. Did you hear in the news?"
"Yeah, that's the sixth reported vampire victim."
"What do you think the lotus means? We've never encountered a vampire that leaves behind that sort of imprint."
Yami fiddled with the cord. "I'm not exactly sure. We'll have to ask Seto. Call him, Honda, Anzu, and Bakura. Meet me at my place."
"Gotcha."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So what's the big meeting for?" Honda asked. Everyone was gathered in Yami's living room.
"There's another vampire on the loose. We have ourselves another one to catch." Jou stated.
"But this one is tricky. It hasn't been caught after six victims, and no one has even caught sight of it. Seto, did you get any readings?"
Seto was half vampire, having a father as one. So although he didn't feed on human blood and didn't possess wings, he still carried small -but not too sharp- fangs and had a type of sixth sense all vampires have. It allows them to sense when a fellow vampire is near.
"Actually I did, but it's very faint. That means this one is very young like me, possibly even younger." Seto replied. Most vampires lived to be over three hundred years, and Seto was only 16.
"But what is the purple lotus for?" Anzu inquired.
"I can explain that." Everyone turned to face Seto.
"Among my species, the purple lotus is a symbol of regret and sorrow. When left behind, it represents the vampire is very sorry that it killed. But this is very very rare. One out of a hundred vampires are reluctant to kill for blood. Bakura, was the symbol left behind on every victim?"
Bakura was good friends with a reporter who had investigated the six victims. He spoke up in his soft voice. "Yes. Every victim was found with the mark. All on the chest above the heart."
"So that means this certain vampire isn't a purely evil one?"
"Generally, vampires aren't evil, Honda. They're just mislead, and blinded by rage of the discrimination they are shown by humans. The lotus just means this vampire is rather innocent and is reluctant to follow his nature. Innocent, meaning he isn't angry at humans for discriminating him. But he may be just trying to fool us." Seto answered.
"Oh."
"What are we sitting here just talkin' for?" Jou asked rather impatiently. "Shouldn't we be out there looking for the vampire?"
"For once, I agree with the Chihuahua." Seto smirked.
"Hey!"
"Yeah, let's go. Everyone, get your equipment."
The group of vampire hunters went off to prepare for the hunt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a narrow alley way crouched a small figure. Hidden by the shadows, he stretched his small bat-like wings. As he yawned, twin fangs were revealed. Suddenly, a sound made him stop. Alert and wary, the young vampire watched with his sharp amethyst eyes as a human passed by. He was tempted to rush forward to drink the unsuspecting man's blood, but he knew he couldn't in broad daylight.
As the man got closer, the little vampire drew in his breath. His head felt tingly as the man got closer and closer, meaning his sixth sense was reacting to the other being. This other man was also a vampire!
"Oh, Yugi, where are you?" The man called nastily. "Me and my friends have a surprise waiting just for you. Don't be so rude as to ignore this generous invitation, little Yugi! I know you're here. I can sense you!"
The little vampire, Yugi, crouched further into his hiding place, shaking with fear. As the man turned so his back was facing the young boy, Yugi shot out of his hiding place fast as lightning, not caring at the moment whether any humans spotted him or not.
The man whirled around to see Yugi flying away, trying to escape.
Smirking, he unfurled his own wings and took chase. Luckily, not many people were out to see this suspicious scene.
Yugi glanced behind him to see the man catching up. Beating his wings harder, he desperately tried to fly faster, but to no avail. The man caught up and grabbed the younger vampire in his sharp claws.
Yugi cried out in pain as the claws dug into his right wing.
Seto's head shot up. Narrowing his eyes, he asked Yami, "Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
Seto didn't answer him, but just gestured for him and the others to be quiet. He focused on his hearing, trusting it to pinpoint where the sound came from if it sounded again.
A faint cry was heard, this time by everyone.
"Come on!" Anzu took off in the direction of the noise. The group followed.
Panting, Seto noticed his sixth sense reacting. "Wait, you guys! I can sense two vampires now!"
Everyone stopped. "Where?" Honda demanded.
"It's a man and the young one from the news. They're. . ." Seto concentrated. "There!" He pointed to an alleyway.
Yami, as the leader, ordered everyone to stay behind. "Wait here. I'll go first, then I'll give you the signal to approach. Have some garlic powder ready."
Yami inched towards the alley and crept into it, disappearing from the others' view. Jou held his breath, hoping for the best.
A voice rang out, one that was recognized as Yami's. "What the-!"
Yami: Yes.
Who asked you?!
Yami: *Smugly* You did.
*Sighs* Oh yeah. Well, sadly, I don't own Yugioh, otherwise I'd probably be richer than Seto.
