Hiya!

As I haven't been able to write on my other fics, except 'New Life, New Identity' , I thought I'd give you the first chapter on my new X-Men fic

"talking"

'thinking'

Chapter 1

It's quiet… to quiet. They're up to something again, I just know it. My name's Atemu Yami, I'm from Egypt, but that's as good as everything I can remember. I can't remember anything else about my previous life, it's like I never existed since I woke up. I'm a mutant, or so I've been told. I can't remember how long I've been here…I'd guess I've been here some years, it feels like it anyway…but then again it's hard to keep track of time when you're locked inside a cell all the time.

The one who captured me and many other mutants, are a man named William Stryker. He hates mutants with a passion, even if his own son is one. He tries to 'cure' or 'solve' the mutant problem. Therefore he has the deaths of both mutants and humans on his hands. Yes, humans…He kidnaps them and use them as guinea pigs, he tries to mutate their DNA. He hasn't had any success yet. Everyone's died during the procedure.

I hear noises and the gate to their underground base open. Cars are driving inside. I guess that they've kidnapped another person, I'm not sure if it's a mutant or a human. To be honest I hope it's the first. We mutants have taken the experiments much better then the humans. We survived, while they didn't. I don't want to hear the painful screams of them ever again as he does those things to them. I'm not really sure if he does the same to them as with us, nobody ever lived to tell the tale, as I've told you.

The door to my cell open, the men throws a small person inside. Then they slam the door shut immediately. I hear whimpering, followed by soft sobs. I can tell it's a human by the scent, a young human boy, but his scent has a feminine tint as well. The small boy sits up and looks around. I hold back a surprised, and on the same time shocked gasp. He looks just as me; well, except that he's more innocent, angelic and feminine looking. He looks directly in my direction in the darkest part of the cell. Our eyes lock, his amethyst ones with my crimson.

"There's no need to be scared of me, little one. I won't hurt you. I can't say the same about them though, their boss is so blinded by his hate and anger" I say calmly, trying to make him feel as comfortable you can get in a situation like this. "Where are you from?"

"Domino City…in Japan…" he replies silently.

"Really now? I don't think I've ever been there, but then again I wouldn't even remember if I have" He nods sadly. "You want to tell me what happened?" He looks at me; it's almost as if he's judging me.

"They just took me… I was with my friends. We were going to Burger world after school, and they just came in a minivan and pulled me inside" his tone is sad, painful and fearful.

"They did that right in front of your friends?" I ask him, his reply is a slow nod. I growl quietly, promising them a painful death for doing that to the little one. Wait, since when did I start to care for someone I just met? I shrug it of for the moment. "I see…Then they've gotten more bolder…How old are you? You're older then you look, right?"

"Hai, I'm 16. I'm surprised that you didn't think that I was a child. I've got that a lot. I'm Yugi"

"My name's Atemu Yami, little one" I can see a small blush cover his cheeks in the darkness. You might wonder how I can see anything in the dark. It's because of my mutation. My senses are heightened and so are my reflexes. I only feed on liquids, therefore I have elongated fangs. I guess you could call me a vampire, but I don't drink blood, I can be in sunlight, and crosses and holy water doesn't bother me at all.

I snap my head up towards the door, as I hear very familiar footsteps coming closer, right towards us. The door open, and 'he' comes inside. I move quickly to stand in front of Yugi and growls. Stryker doesn't make any sign of fear or that he's going to leave us. He just smirks at us mockingly.

"Well, mutant 555 it seems like you've a soft spot for the human already" he says. I growl again.

"Leave him alone, Stryker! He hasn't done anything to deserve what you've planned for him! He's an innocent human! Since when did you kidnap children from other countries, by the way? Do you really want to start another world war?!" Yugi's shrunk behind me, trying to hide himself from that awful man. Stryker looks at me like something that's in his eye.

"Don't you dare talk to me like that, mutant. Don't talk with me about wars. I was in Vietnam. I'm just trying to make this world a better place, and because of that there has to be sacrifices"

"Ha! Don't make me laugh. You only do this because your son couldn't be 'cured' as you wanted" By this time Stryker looks furious. He reaches for something in his pocket and pulls out a small control. He pushes a button, and suddenly the small cable around me neck sends electricity through my body. I fall to the ground in pain, Yugi calls my name, and then they take him with them. The door close and I'm lying there alone on the cold floor. I feel wetness in my face, and I know I'm crying. Crying for Yugi, my little one…
