Sakura: This probably has come as a surprise to everyone. I had no idea I would be writing a sequel to one of my most popular stories 'The Vampire City' until this story plot hit me. There was no way I was going to pass up the chance to make a sequel even though I never planned one.
Huge shout out to s2Teennovliest! I can pretty much dedicate this whole story to her for always being there and helping me get this story started. It was thanks to her I was able to get my thoughts together and figure out how I wanted this story to go. Planning and outlining is huge for stories, but it's also good to have someone who can help you get your thoughts in the right order.
Also credit for the title also goes to s2Teennovliest because she thought of it and I think its way better than the title I had picked. It fits the story so much better.

Chapter One
VAMPIRE CITY
The one place vampires and humans coexist
Vampires are considered mythical creatures that do not exist in the human world. There are myths and books based on what it would be like to live in a world with vampires. Some people see them as fake, others dangerous blood thirsty monsters, and some who would do anything to become one. Humans can be blind to the truth but there is one city hidden from the world that holds such creatures. This place is called Vampire City...
It was built over two thousand years ago and only select few know about it. It's location in the middle of the Atlantic hidden from human eyes was in order to protect the humans however some humans have traveled there and even become citizens. Portals protected by certain individuals keep the city under lock and key so only humans may travel to and from the city.
As the years pass only few humans knew about the city but somehow the population of humans never went down to cause worry for the vampires. Humans were a natural source of blood for the vampires and if the humans disappeared the vampires would slowly die. Certain humans who we're known as vampire hunters hoped one day the vampires would die off but this did not happen and slowly it was the hunters' family lines that started to end with only a few left to remain to watch over the humans who did not know about the city.
There was never a case of a human stumbling upon the city by accident until one. A young adult by the name of Yuugi Mutou happened to be that special case. He was just on a dig with his college class in Egypt when two other students locked him in the tomb. While looking for another way out he happened to stumble upon one of the portals and ended up in the city. It had been by accident so the king of the fair city overlooked it and offered Yuugi the chance to live there. At first the young lad turned the king down only to return to the city a few days later once he was kicked out of his college.
In the end it seemed like the best choice because not only did Yuugi get to start a new life he also found true love in the oddest of places. It was a huge surprise to the city's people that this one human male stole the heart of their king. However it was a huge relief that the lonely king finally had someone to be by his side.
That sounds like a typical fairy tale ending but that story had a dark side also. While the king enjoyed his new found love, a war no one saw coming slowly started to brew. Humans were kidnapped and changed against their will to become vampires, which broke one of the main laws of that city. Behind it all was a group of vampires who grew to hate the humans along with one of the children of the king.
The war did not last long between the vampires but the war did come at a price. The city was forced to rebuild before the humans could return but that wasn't the worst of it. Along with countless vampires being killed, the king lost a son because of his son's misguided ways. One finally price of the war was a force choice made by the king whose future mate had been terrible wounded. The king ended up having to change his mate into a vampire if only to save his life. However not all choices are bad. When the war was said and done the city returned to normal and the city gained not one but two great rulers.
This is the continuation of the love story between a powerful vampire King and his vampire mate.
20 Years Later
Sunlight streamed into the room from the opened balcony doors causing the occupant of the bed to groan in annoyance. The young male sleeping buried his head under his pillow to try and fall back asleep. This however would not be accomplished as the door to the bedroom opened to reveal a small little girl with brown hair that fell to her shoulders and wearing a cute light blue dress that reached her knees. She ran and jumped on the bed with a graceful leap and landed with no problem on top the sleeping male.
A growl rose pass the male's lips as the pillow was removed and hazel eyes looked directly into amethyst. With fake anger, the male surprised the little girl by sitting up with inhuman speed and grabbing her around the waist. A grin broke out on his face as he started to tickle her causing a high pitch laugh to break out from the girl.
She tried to get away but the one holding her was too strong. "St-stop...papa!"
The other did as asked and let her catch her breath. "That will teach you from jumping on papa, huh Chan?"
Chan grinned up at her papa. "Daddy told me to come get you up for breakfast."
"Well tell the all mighty king that I will be down once I get ready." He said as he kissed her forehead. Chan nodded to that before she hurried off the bed and out of the room.
A yawn escaped the male as he stretched before getting up to prepare for the day. He took a quick ten minute shower then dressed himself in a pair of black jeans and a white t-shirt. Lastly he stood in front of the floor to ceiling mirror beside his and the King's shared dresser to brush his tri-colored hair. Out of the corner of his eye he could see the photo frames that had stared to grow in numbers on the dresser from the past few years after he joined the family. It was strange that over twenty plus years ago he was once a simple human entering this fair city and now he was the King's mate.
King Yami Atemu was a brave and mighty king to the people of Vampire City. It was once again a city of peace where humans and vampires could live together after the war that had broken out twenty years ago. Many things had changed because of that war but it had all been for the better. Mainly the rebirth of himself, Yuugi Mutou, as a newly turned vampire.
Being a vampire had its perks but it also took years of adjustment for the young male. The real upside was the fact that he would forever live with his lover and their children that Yami adopted hundreds of years before Yuugi had entered the city.
A sigh escaped Yuugi as he placed the brush on the dresser and took note of the picture that had only recently in the past five years taken a spot on top the dresser. Twenty years later and it was still hard to let go of that faithful day when one of their sons betrayed the family and turned against them. In the end Jiro, the one who did not accept Yuugi into the family until the war, died on the battle field and forever left their lives. It took years for the family to recover from that day but it had gotten better. There were days when the other children and Yami missed the silent vampire but they knew he was in a better place and probably much happier.
So much had changed over the last twenty years but nothing would make Yuugi ever regret becoming what he was for true love. He flashed himself a fanged smile in the mirror before leaving his shared bedroom to begin the day as co-ruler of Vampire City.
Sakura: Well there you have it, chapter one finished of 'The Hunters Game'. I hoped you all have enjoyed reading and look forward to the rest of the story. I have a few important things I would like to address before fully ending the chapter.
In the disclaimer I mention 'Black Blood Brothers' I'm not sure how many remember but it was in the disclaimer for Vampire City also. The reason is 'Black Blood Brothers' is an anime which I like about vampires and I used some of the characters. Jiro, Kotaro, and Chan all come from that show, but I forgot to mention it in vampire city. Since Kotaro and Chan are still around I put the title in the disclaimer.
Before any one bugs me about this yes twilight characters are back, but they are super MINOR characters. I had them in the first story so they will be in this one also. They have really small roles so you might not even notice them. Plus I borrow the idea of vampires with golden eyes that change people from bite from the Twilight books, so that is the main reason why twilight is in the disclaimer again. So if you dislike twilight I have no problem with that, but please do not decide to not read this story because of that.
Yumi: Sakura and I look forward to seeing everyone's review and if you have any questions please do ask us.
Review!
