Kairi: Holy crap. Short prologue... Well, I wanted to try this and see what kind of a reception it got before I started focusing all of my writing time on it, seeing as how I'm now relying on my dad's computer, and I can only pull about an hour and a half of time out of it before I have to go to school. I'm working on A Spatial Tear, I'm fixing Destiny Call and Feather Faith, just give me a little time... Oh, and a quick warning, there will be very little dueling in this story.

Lillith: Quit yapping and get going with the story!

Kairi: Fine, fine. Do the disclaimer.

Lillith: Kairi/Twilight PhoenixFyre does not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's, but she does own any and all OC's.

Kairi: Okay, enjoy the short prologue.

Vampires 2 - Neo Domino, Prologue

Yusei was on his knee, trying to keep his breathing steady. How could this duel be going so badly? He still had Stardust Dragon on the field, but so long as Twilight Shield was active, the majestic beast's effects were negated. And he was so close to losing.

"What's the matter? Having trouble?" his opponent sneered. A black hood covered his face, making his identity a secret. "If you give up now, you lose, and if you lose, you fall over the cliff," he reminded the signer. Yusei grit his teeth and stood, shakily.

"I'm not finished until your life points hit zero," he said. "And since you've finished your turn, it's mine. Draw!" Yusei looked at the card with a slight bit of pride. "Now you're in trouble, because I summon the level one monster, Stardust Xiaolong. Next I activate Double Summon, so that I can summon another monster this turn. So come to the field, Majestic Dragon! Now I'll tune Stardust Xiaolong with Stardust Dragon and Majestic Dragon! From three will come one, and from one will come great cosmic might! Come forth, Majestic Star Dragon!"

"Too little too late, Yusei! I activate my trap, Midnight's Rage!" the stranger shouted. "Now, when you Syncro summon a monster, you take damage equal to its level times two hundred!"

"But that means—"

"That's right Yusei. Thanks to Twilight Shield's effect, Majestic Star Dragon's effects are negated during the turn it's summoned. And since you only have 1300 life points left, you're finished. Permanently!" he laughed. Yusei screamed in pain when the final blow hit him, causing him to fall back and off the cliff. The last thing he remembered thinking clearly was that there seemed to be a lighter spot in the water a few meters away from where he was going to land.

Crow was pacing again. This fact annoyed the heck out of Kalin, but the blue-haired man didn't say anything, knowing that it was an exercise in futility. He also knew that it was nine o'clock and Yusei wasn't home yet, but that fact really didn't concern him too much either. Then Crow passed him again and he sighed.

"Crow, why don't you go to bed? We can leave the door unlocked for one night. Yusei will be in his bed by morning," Kalin suggested. Crow stopped pacing for a moment to think. Many minutes later, the carrot-head sighed.

"Fine, one night. I'm just worried about him," Crow conceded. Kalin nodded.

"I'm concerned too, but Yusei can take care of himself. So don't worry about it quite so much. I'm sure he'll be home by the time we all wake up," Kalin told him. Crow was silent as he walked up the stairs. "I just hope I'm right," Kalin mumbled. "There are older and more sinister forces than the dark signers in this world."

(The next day, almost midnight)

As the action in the city quieted down, a young man slowly woke up in a cave, which was well-hidden from the rest of the world. Yusei groaned and rolled over, pulling a blanket around him. He yawned and opened his eyes, then started feeling around for a flashlight or light switch, before realizing that he didn't need one. Even though it was pitch-black, he could see every detail of the dark room he was in, although most of it simply looked like it had been made out of a large chunk of rock. The bed he slept on was the only thing in the room aside from himself. He inhaled deeply, noting the slightly musky, moldy, and certainly wet scent of the cave. Then he smelled something else. An odd berry-like scent and an equally odd minty scent. Then a young girl walked in. She was maybe fifteen, with snow-white skin and light, golden eyes. Her lithe form seemed to dance across the floor to sit on the edge of his bed. Her silvery blonde hair fell past her waist, a waterfall of smooth silk.

"You're awake," she stated, her light, bell-like voice chiming softly. "I brought you this. I imagine you're thirsty," she told him. In fact, now that she had mentioned it, the scent of the odd liquids was causing the back of his throat to burn. He reached out and held the goblet she handed him shakily, looking upon the cool, red liquid carefully.

"What is this?" he asked her. She shook her head.

"Drink first, then I'll tell you," she said. Yusei looked down and took a deep breath before drinking a little of it. It tasted like it smelled, only stronger. The wild berry mix was delicious, and Yusei drank more of it, finishing the goblet quickly. Only now, his throat seemed to be burning even more.

"Blood," the girl whispered once he finished. Yusei stared at her uncomprehendingly. She smiled slightly. "It's blood," she repeated. Yusei was still confused at first, and then the meaning of her words sank in and his heart froze.

"What the hell have you turned me into?" he breathed. She drank some of her own liquid, which Yusei guessed was more blood.

"The same thing I am. It was the only way to save your life," she told him. Yusei felt the cold blood in his body fade from his face.

"Vampire."

Kairi: As I was saying earlier, whether or not I continue this story depends on what you guys think of it. So please REVIEW! And I will hopefully see all of you... sometime... I don't have a set update schedule. Never have, never will, most likely. Sorry.

Lillith: More reviews = Faster and better updates. And reviewing really doesn't take that long.

Kairi: Alright, we're outta here! -poofs, dragging Lillith away as she goes-
