Chapter 1

Sad and Lonely Existence

Vampires. Undead creatures known as the night dwellers that live on blood of any living creature. While there are deadly vampires that steal enough blood to kill, there are vampires that live with a sad and lonely existence, not wanting to drink blood from humans as much as possible. And all vampires must live in secrecy, so not a single human knows about their kind. That is the rule that they all must follow.

And that is how the two vampire friends, Yami and Atem have lived their immortal lives ever since the day they were created by an old yet powerful count. As mortals living in ancient Japan, they had been the best of friends since childhood. The two were completely identical with gravity-defying star-shaped hair with crimson edging, a black base and blond bangs with some going up the base like lightning bolts and had that same crimson color for their eyes. The only difference between the two is the color of their skin. Yami had white skin with a light tan while Atem had sun-kissed tan for his skin.

However, one time when they had just turned eighteen, both boys had become incredibly sick by an unknown cause. Desperate to save both boys, their parents had searched for a doctor that would have the medical skills that could save their lives. The one doctor they found did indeed have the skills that could save Yami and Atem.

But, what the parents didn't know is that the doctor, Pegasus, a man with long silver hair and amber eyes that had a gentle feel to them, was a vampire count. It was known that all of his patients that he had cared for had quickly disappeared after he had cured them of their illness. Knowing there is a possibility that the two boys will also disappear after being healed, both their families had no choice but to have Pegasus do whatever he can to save the two.

Before starting the cure, Pegasus had asked both Yami and Atem's parents to wait outside so he could be able to work in silence. To know that he will be able to save their sons, the four worried adults left the room. No one knew what his method curing his patients was like since he never lets anyone know. Since he's a vampire with medical knowledge, when he sucks on the blood of his patients, while the powers of the vampire surge through their veins, his medical bite will send his special medicine also through the veins and cure them of any sickness the patient will have.

And so, completely alone with the two sick boys, Pegasus uses his dark powers to scan their bodies for the cause of their illness. Sensing that the two both had a terrible fever that had claimed many lives, Pegasus immediately went to start treating them. The first one to be bitten with his healing bite is Yami. Although the pain from the sharp fangs penetrating the flesh on his neck was unbearably painful, the pain soon subsided with the feeling of his healing powers and medicine course through his body.

Right after Atem was bitten and went through the same pain and relaxing as he was healed as well, both teens soon felt the powers of the vampire flow in their veins as well, having them undergo the painful transformation of their mortal lives ending and a new immortal life begin for them. Once the transformations were complete, Yami and Atem had collapsed on their beds, exhausted from the process of being cured and suddenly go from two mortal teenagers to newborn night dwellers.

With both of them on the brink of sleep, Pegasus leaves them with a mental message, "Once your strength returns, come search for me. I'll teach you of how to live your new lives as vampires, my sons." And with that, Pegasus leaves the room and faces the four worried parents. "No need to worry any longer. Young Yami and Atem are cured of their illness." As the parents let out a sigh of relief, they failed to notice the certain look in the man's eyes. "All they need is a good nights sleep."

When Pegasus bid them good night and left, the parents knew that they could sleep in peace knowing that their sons will live. However, they were completely unaware that both boys are no longer humans. They didn't know that once their strength returns, Yami and Atem would need to leave them behind and seek Pegasus so they can learn how to survive as a vampire.

And so, around midnight, while their parents slept soundly, Yami and Atem felt their strength return. Fully dressed in normal, dark color clothes, Yami and Atem silently left their home to hunt down their creator. After about searching for almost an hour since they left their home, parents and old lives behind, the two newborns find their creator in a park, painting a portrait of a beautiful woman, possibly a vampire.

Seeing the two he had created approach him, sensing that they had indeed rested up enough, Pegasus gave the teenagers a smile and said as he put his art supplies away, "Come my sons, you have so much to learn about your new lives."

Without a word from either of them, Yami and Atem went with Pegasus to a manor that is far in the mountains of Japan. For the past few years as living as vampires, Yami and Atem came to depend on their creator in order to survive without any humans knowing of their existence. By the time they had learned that the humans were looking for them as humans, unaware that they had become immortal vampires, Yami and Atem could only feel that eventually the search parties will stop looking for them and forget about them like they did for all the others that had disappeared after being treated by Pegasus.

It turns out that all of Pegasus' patients he had treated have become vampires after being cured by him. While hiding away from the human race, Yami and Atem have met many of those who had been turned by Pegasus and a few have become their friends, such as the tomb thief Bakura and torture master Marik.

Sadly, around the time that Yami and Atem had accidentally killed two humans while feeding, the final lesson they had learned from their creator made them realize something; when you're a vampire, you live it alone, only among those of your kind, never to interact with humans, only for feeding. With the knowledge of those rules and after killing two innocent humans while out for feeding, Yami and Atem stayed together while living alone without Pegasus, and never wanting to live off of the blood of mortals as much as possible.

And so, as the years past by, the two lived in the manor that Pegasus had taken them to as newborns, with only a few visits from him every now and then, living a sad and lonely existence, trying to avoid human blood as much as they could so Yami and Atem would avoid harming humans.
