Demon wars

Prologue: The blazing stranger

It had been four months since Yugi Motou had defeated Leon Von Schroeder and won the Kaiba Corporation Grand Championship and retained his title as the intercontinental duelling champion. (World Champ) Since then things had gone back to normal for Yugi, well almost, now he was dating Tea Gardner, much to the shock of the others.

They'd all thought that she had a thing for Yami. But it seems that after the whole Orichalcos business, she realized how ruthless and heartless Yami was. Not to mention the swarming fan girls that all had crushes on Yugi; like Vivian Wong and Rebecca Hawkins, driving Tea nearly mad with jealousy.

Yugi and Tea relationship bloomed like a well watered weed; it flourished and would not die. Anyway the two of them were walking through the domino park at night on their way home after their date when they heard a blood curdling scream ahead of them. The two of them ran towards the noise, it seemed to come from the fountain at the centre of the park. As they approached they saw a girl who was no more than 15 years old lying on the floor, partially dismembered, gutted and laying in a pool of dark, dark blood. And standing over the body was a tall red cloaked figure with a deep hood obscuring his face in the shadows.

'What have you done!' yelled Yugi running forward, the millennium puzzle flickering slightly. The cloaked figure stiffened slightly when he heard their voices and ran off leaving behind a trail of the girl's blood.

'Get back here!' yelled Yugi, running after the stranger, Tea however knelt by the girl who though had been almost completely ripped to shreds was still alive.

'Don't worry kid I'll call an ambulance…'

'No!' hissed the girl in pain, then to Tea's shock the girl grabbed Tea by the front of her shirt and wouldn't let go. Amazingly the girl's canine teeth began to lengthen and sharpen. The girl gave an animal like howl and sunk her teeth into Tea's neck; she let out a gurgled scream.

A few minutes ago

Yugi ran in hot pursuit of the red cloaked "killer" As they ran through a group of thick gnarled trees he tripped on an out cropping root and tumbled to the earth. Yugi as fast as lightning leapt onto his back, trying to restrain him, Yugi grabbed a large rock and smacked the man on the head with it giving off a resounding smack! He gave a grunt then toppled to the ground unconscious.

Yugi clambered off him and pulled back the guy's hood. He was a handsome fellow with sharp features and long spiky black hair (Like Bakura's style) He also had a long scar stretching downwards across his left eye, sealing it forever shut. He appeared to be only slightly older than Yugi, about 18 or so.

Yugi heard a blood curdling scream, the man's eye shot open; he threw Yugi back and raced towards the sound of the scream.

'Tea!' yelled Yugi running back. The two of them reached the fountain and they saw a disturbing and frightening sight. The young girl was on Tea's back, with her fangs deep in Tea's neck, and blood running down her clothes.

'Damn I thought she was dead!' growled the stranger, racing forward and drawing a long triangular shaped throwing knife from within a deep pocket in his cloak. He threw it in a graceful arch and it hurtled through the air and removed the girl's head in one swift motion. She gave a scream and vanished in a puff of smoke. Tea swayed and fell towards the ground; the stranger dashed forward and caught her in his arms. Yugi was shocked by what had happened; a vampire a real vampire!

Yugi rushed forward and the stranger passed Tea into Yugi's arms.

'Don't worry mate, she didn't lose too much blood, but we'll need to get the toxins out before she is turned. Follow me.' The stranger led Yugi, towards the outskirts of Domino where the warehouses and docks were.

'Hey you! Where are we going?' Asked Yugi as the stranger took another turn, Yugi's arms were starting to ache; he'd been carrying Tea for nearly 30 minutes.

'Were heading to my hideout…And the names Blaze Inferno'

Said the red cloaked stranger who we now know to be called Blaze. A few minutes later they reached a small leisure ship; the kind owned by the rich for fishing trips and showing off. Blaze took Tea inside and Yugi followed him down the stairs that led deep inside.

Yugi followed him into a large well lit lounge. Blaze laid Tea on a leather couch and told Yugi to keep an eye on her. He left the room briefly and came back holding a small metal briefcase. He opened it up and inside was a series of syringes and chemicals and capsules.

'What are they for?' asked Yugi, paling slightly

'These drugs will help to combat the toxins in that vampire's bite, so ya girlfriend won't become one as well' said Blaze, pulling out a small capsule that contained a silvery powder and then mixing it with a bottle of mountain water.

'Make her drink this…'

'Why?' asked Yugi, taking the bottle from him. Blaze gave him and hard look and then sighed

'It will keep her unconscious for a few hours, these serums will be very painful and screaming grates on my ears, if she's asleep she won't really feel it.' Replied Blaze. Yugi nodded and pried Tea's mouth opened and slowly tipped the contents down her throat.

'Good' Blaze pulled out a small syringe and filled it with a cherry coloured liquid and gently pushed the needle into the back of Tea's neck and injected it. Tea's eyes bulged open briefly, then she passed out again.

Next he wrapped a bandage around Tea's neck, which had started to bleed again.

For the next 30 minutes or so Blaze bandaged Tea's wounds and injected her with various substances which he said would stop Tea turning into a creature of the night.

All the while Yugi held her hand, his eyes fixed on her beautiful sleeping face.

It however was late and eventually he fell off to sleep, between one thought and the next. He fell down next to Tea, his arm falling across her waist. Blaze smiled faintly and got a large blanket and covered the two of them.

'Sleep well kids, I'll be back, I've still got a whole night of hunting to do.' Muttered Blaze, putting the medical equipment away and getting his katana sword and several adder stingers (The throwing knife he used) and attaching them to his belt. He quietly climbed the stairs and closed the door on his boat; he leapt onto the docks and walked off into the shadows. He muttered something under his breath and the wind whipped it away.

'More tag-a-longs…'

(Well readers what do you think so far? This story's gonna have a lot of melee fighting as well as some intense duels in later chapters. And what will happen as the story unfolds: Will things go back to normal or will Yugi ad Tea get dragged into the war between demons and humans?

Anybody who has any ideas for plots and pairings please send me some reviews.)
