Prologue


"I'll be fine, Jounouchi." Yugi repeated, "The shop isn't that far from here."

Jounouchi sighed, "Come on, Yugi. It's still dark out and it'd make me feel better if I walked with you."

Yugi shook his head, "You also need to get home. I don't want you to fight with your dad because you got home late."

Jounouch sighed; Yugi had a point. He hated going home, but he did want to avoid a black eye or even something worse. Even Katsuya Jounouchi would cower when it came to his father's abuse. He sighed again, "Okay. But call me as soon as you get home, okay?"

Yugi nodded, "I will."

Jounouchi smiled, "Good. I'll see ya tomorrow, pal."

Yugi waved at Jounouchi before both teens turned and parted ways.

Yugi hugged himself as he walked; the cool weather nipping as his exposed skin. He looked ahead and smiled, the shop was close and soon, he would be wrapped up in warmth and he could finally get that sleep he missed out on because he was too busy staying up late, working on his deck.

Just as Yugi walked past a darkened alleyway, a pair of strong hands yanked him by the shoulders and threw him against the wall. He struggled to break free of the person's strong grip, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't get free.

"Hmm, you were going to be my dinner." A rough voice spoke, "But it seems like you'll make a wonderful pet."

Yugi's eyes widened in fear, "Pl-please le-let me go." He shuddered, fear taking over, "Please."

The vampire smirked, "I don't think so." He leaned in, fangs elongating, "You're my pet now, little one."

Yugi shut his eyes as sharp fangs ripped through his skin. He let out a pained groan as the vampire drained his blood. He whimpered when the hands of the vampire moved from his shoulders to his hips. Yugi didn't know how long the drinking lasted but when it was over, his mind was a haze and his eyes were glazed over.

The vampire smirked as Yugi sunk to the ground, "Enjoy your new life, pet." He knelt in front of Yugi and stroked his cheek, "I'll let you take care of that hunger and I'll be back to find you soon." He chuckled, "Don't worry," he leaned in, whispering in Yugi's ear, "I'll be the only one allowed to break you."

Yugi jerked awake, his eyes darting around the room. He looked up, spotting Atem there and not Raphael. He was in Atem's arms, not Raphael's. Everything was okay. Raphael couldn't hurt him anymore.

Atem looked down to him, "Partner? Was it another nightmare?"

Yugi lifted his head from Atem's chest, looking up at him. He shook his head, "Nothing I can't handle." Yugi didn't know why, but for some reason, he had a bad that feeling that something horrible was about to happen to him, but he mostly figured that it was the nightmare talking. Not only that, but he couldn't get the sight of Raphael out of his head.

Atem pulled the covers up more and pulled Yugi closer to him, "Do you wish to talk about it?"

Yugi shook his head before laying it back down on Atem's chest, "No."

Atem ran his fingers through Yugi's hair, earning him a soft hum from the smaller vampire. Atem chuckled, "Are you still sleepy?"

"Hmm..." Yugi hummed out, snuggling closer to Atem.

Atem chuckled, "I take that a 'yes.'. Get some sleep, Partner."


The Hunter stood there in front of the table, taking inventory. He had a good amount of Holy Water, but his silver cross inventory was low; he would have to get more. He lifted a wooden stake in his hand; cherry with a silver tip. He turned the stake, looking at the tip before clicking his tongue. A stain. Those damn vampires, leaving their blood on his belongings. The Hunter sighed when he also noticed that his good, extremely worn stake was starting to show its age. He put the cherry stake down and picked up the old one. It was his first stake and he treasured it dearly. The Hunter touched the tip of the stake, a smirk on his face. Despite its age, the stake still had enough strength to take down one more vampire.

Yes. The hunter nodded to himself. The stake he so loved very much would be saved until he deems a vampire worthy enough to slay.


No, they weren't doing anything, get your minds out of the gutter.

Okay but really, our vampires have a hunter to deal with now! Also, hint hint, but a certain someone plays a big role in this! Can you guess who it is? Also, the one shot collection, Vampire Tales, it out and the first one shot has something to do with the sequel!
