Hello :) This is my first YYxY fanfic and perhaps most well thought out story yet. Please Read and Reviews! I take all critiques openly and hope to improve my writing skill and of course I'll answer all messages!

Yu-Gi-Oh is definitely not mine. I surely wish it was. It's an idea I would have never thought of in a million years.


"Stop! Halt..? Come back!" Yugi called down the alley as he ran after the thief. He splashed up water as his feet hit the pavement with each landing of the foot. It was his first night working as an officer of the law and something like this happens! He was chasing after the infamous Shadow Thief who was known for stealing countless priceless artifacts. The Shadow Thief was on a rise in Domino City and was always toying with the police. He was confident and cunning along with being an analytical genius. No one could seem to capture him.

Yugi doubted his own abilities of catching the thief as he saw him turn a corner out of site. A rookie could never possibly capture a seasoned thief! He huffed as he turned the corner in pursuit of the perpetrator. "Get back here!" He threatened but knew it was no good. How did he get in this mess? All he was doing was standing with his partner Jou at their post in front of the museum. Jou wanted to check around to see if there was any homeless were loitering around the sides of the building and Yugi was to stay at his post. Then out of nowhere the thief sprang from the bushes and Yugi ran in pursuit without any clue as what to do.

The Shadow Thief was garbed in black with purple accents. He wore a masquerade mask, cape, gloves, boots forming a stylish outfit. He was confident alright…to wear something so ridiculous. Yugi found him to be the equivalent of America's Batman except…the opposite. It wasn't sure what the thief looked like. No one seemed to be able to catch a photo of him but only get glimpses of him.

And here he was, Yugi found himself with the thief cornered in a dead end alley! His heart beat spiked as he was face to face with him. "A-alright you!" He said raising his pistol up shakily. "I've got you n-now." The thief was silent and seemed to not care. He pointed a finger to behind Yugi who glanced to see…. another Shadow Thief! "W-what?" Yugi choked with wide eyes dropping the gun as both of the thieves charged at him. His head spinned and he fell down in fear. The first thief crept closer to him menacingly as the second followed suit. Yugi kicked himself back towards the wall. "D-Don't hurt me." He whimpered holding his hands up in front of him and his eyes shut.

"Yug' hey kid. C'mon we were messin' with ya." A familiar voice spoke as the first thief took off his mask. Yugi opened his eyes. It was his partner Jou! "It was just initiation. Jeez kid, I'd of thought you'd of done better." He said with disappointment in his voice while Honda, another officer, removed his own mask and hood.

"Talk about a rookie." Honda snorted at the boy before them. "What if it really had been the Shadow Thief!" Yugi blushed with embarrassment to their banter.

"You guys really scared me." Yugi mumbled still a tad pale from his faux thief encounter. "It's my first night guys, be a little easy on me?"

Jou laughed heartily at this while helping his partner up. "Not a chance! Besides that's the worst of it anyway. Cheer up kid; we do it to all the rookies."

"Kid." Yugi replied bluntly in a sulky manner. He hated Jou and the other officers calling him kid. Jou was only a year older than Yugi. He REALLY couldn't believe this. Yugi really thought he had come face to face with the Shadow Thief himself! "Whatever…let's just go back to our post." He pouted with embarrassment beginning to flush his face and the paleness began to leave. Picking up his gun and dusting it off he walked down to the alley's opening when all of a sudden another Shadow Thief appeared in front of him at the opening of the alley with bag in hand. Yugi gave a huffy sigh at him. "Very funny, but you're late and I've already been tricked once too many times tonight!" He said to the masked man in hostility. "No more fake thieves let's find the REAL one." He waited for their reply."…guys?" He looked over his shoulder at the cops he'd left in the alley. They had their guns pulled.

"Yugi!" Jou raised his voice. "That's not a joke; it's the real deal kid!"

"S-stop calling me kid." Yugi protested but soon his eyes widened as he realized what else had been said. He slowly turned to look at the menacing thief.

"Get out of the way!" Honda shouted, firing the gun, but in a flash the Shadow Thief grabbed Yugi around the waist with his free hand and pulled him into the shadowed wall. Jou fired a bullet and soon ran to the wall. Like magic, they were both gone and nothing but empty shadows remained.

Jou kicked the wall. "Shit! Now the Shadow Thief is stealing people too? What a way to end my night. The Chief is gonna kill us!"He looked around frantically. "What are we going to do?" He asked as his throat became dry. This sort of thing had never happened.

Honda pulled his walkie-talkie from his belt. "We call it in of course." He was worried too. No one ever saw what the Shadow Thief stole a second time.
