I know i gotta update but here's a new story!

Yugi panted as he ran from the bullies. Why were they always after him? Honestly what was so special about him? He assumed they went after him because of how small and weak they saw him. He was small but he didn't think he was weak. Though apparently he was wrong.

"Get back here twerp!" The leader yelled as they chased him.

Yugi ran to the south edge of Domino City and stopped. In front of him was the Shinpi Wood. No one dared to enter there. Anyone who did went missing.

"There you are." Yugi turned to see the four bullies. The leader was smirking. "Ready for the beating of a lifetime?"

Yugi gulped. He looked for a way out but found none. With the woods behind him and four bullies in front of him he was completely cornered. Backing away he came to the edge of the woods. 'What now? I'm dead.' he thought. Looking back at the woods he weighed his options.

"Nowhere to go twerp." the leader smirked.

"There's one place." Yugi said taking a step back.

"You don't have the balls."

"No but I do have the desperation." Yugi said. He turned and ran into the woods. He heard the bullies say to each other he'd die anyways so there was no point on going after him. Sighing he slowed to a walk. Looking around he noted how creepy it was. He felt like someone was watching him.

He wondered if any of the rumors of these woods were true. That everyone who came in were killed. But everyone was too scared to come in and check for bodies. This terrified Yugi now more than ever. What if they were right? What if he had just made the biggest mistake of his life?

Yugi walking not wanting to go back and find the bullies waiting for him. He was terrified of the woods but even more terrified of them. At least here he had a chance. He'd just have to wait them out till dark.

Vampire Lord Atem sat in his throne room bored. He had grown tired of his latest pet and drained it of its blood. What were his pets? Now when you think pets you must think of cats or dogs or any animal. But Lord Atem thought of humans.

Of course your first reaction is humans can't be pets. They're humans. But Lord Atem is a vampire and loves making humans into his pets. Often however he gets bored with them and when this happens he drains them of their blood. He owns many pets. Over 20 actually.

He sat on his throne with three of his female pets fawning over him. They often did what they could to keep him happy. It was not a simple or easy task. He was not easily entertained. His pets did the best they could for if he grew bored with a pet they were as good as dead.

"My lord there has been a sighting." a servant said as they came to him and bowed.

"How does it look?" Atem asked.

"Much like you, my lord. Only smaller, paler, and has uh cuter features." she answered.

"Hm sounds interesting. Have Seto fetch him for me." Atem ordered.

She bowed again. "Of course my Lord." she said respectfully before leaving.

Atem hummed as he thought of his newest pet coming. It should be interesting to have a pet that looks like himself. Growing annoyed by the females around him he shooed them away. They nodded and bowed before they were taken back to their cages. He stood and began towards his chambers stopping by one of the guards.

"When Seto arrives with my new pet come for me at once." Atem ordered.

"Yes my Lord." he said bowing.

Atem nodded before leaving. He looked forward to having a new pet.

Yugi gulped as he continued walking in the woods. It became clear that even if he wanted to turn back he was lost. He would never make it back by dark. So now he needed to find a shelter to stay in but where? There surely weren't any caves in the woods were there? He needed to find something. Anything.

He took a few more steps when he heard a twig snap. Yugi froze and looked around. "Hello? I-is anyone there?" he called out. No answer. "Right Yugi because someone who wants to kill you is going to answer you." he muttered and laughed nervously. Great now he was talking to himself.

After a few moments he started walking again after a few moments. He couldn't stay in one place for too long. That was dangerous. He'd learned that when running from bullies. This wasn't much different after all.

"He'll be easy to catch." Seto said to himself as he watched the boy walking through the woods. "My cousin will have his new pet in no time."

Yugi stopped when he felt eyes on him again. "I-if there's someone there come out." he said trying to sound confident.

"You're quite the intuitive one aren't you?" Seto asked coming out of the shadows.

Yugi froze. "Wh-who are you?"

"My name is not important. Now we can do this one of two ways. You can come with me willingly or I can force you to come with me." Seto said. Though no one ever picked the easy way. They always tried to run. He assumed it was the human's' will to live that made them think they could escape.

Yugi didn't answer he just turned and ran as fast as he could.

"Of course he's just like all the others. Such a drag." Seto groaned before popping up in front of Yugi. it was so sudden Yugi didn't have time to stop and ran into him. When he was about to stop the man caught him flawlessly. "Force it is then." Seto said lifting Yugi and putting him over his shoulder.

"Let me go!" Yugi screamed hitting his back.

"I will eventually." Seto said. He took a step and suddenly things were blurring past Yugi. how were they moving so fast? It's so inhuman.

Moments later they were in front of a giant palace. When had this gotten here? Surely he would have seen it over the trees. Yugi struggled to get out of the man's arms as he walked into the palace still holding him.

"Tell my cousin I fetched his newest pet." Seto ordered to one of the guards. Yugi's eyes widened. Pet?

"Of course sir." the guard bowed before walking away.

"You." Seto pointed to the other guard. "Are his chains prepared?"

"Yes of course sir. In the throne room." the second guard said bowing and leading the way to the throne.

Yugi struggled to get free. "Let me go! I'm not a pet!"

"Not yet but you will be. Now stop struggling. It's annoying." Seto said coldly.

Yugi and the man came to a large room with a chair at the end of it. Where was this man taking him? A moment later he was set down but before he could run he was pushed to his knees. After that metal cuffs were put on each of his wrists and the cuffs connected to a chain that was latched to a ring on the floor. A metal collar was then placed on his neck and again a chain attached to that then the floor. The chains weren't long enough for Yugi to stand forcing him to stay on his knees. And no matter how hard he pulled he couldn't break the chains.

"Please. Just let me go. I have a grandfather. He'll be worried sick." Yugi begged.

"Shut up." Seto ordered just before a door was opened. Yugi looked to see everyone in the room bowing. Who could be so important that they'd have to bow? The man who brought him here growled and forced his head down. Yugi grunted in pain at the force.

"My dear cousin what have you brought to me this time?" Yugi heard a deep voice ask. The voice immediately had fear running through Yugi's body.

"You are the one who sent me for it." the man growled.

"Now Seto no need for the harsh tone." the voice said. "Human raise your head."

Yugi assumed he meant him though he had no idea why he was calling him by human. Yugi was shocked by the sight that met him. The voice belonged to someone who looked exactly like him with a few differences. His eyes. So fierce they seemed to see right through Yugi. Who was he? And why had everyone bowed to him when he came in?

"Devine." the new man said. Yugi gulped. "Tell me little one, what is your name?" the man asked.

Yugi broke out of his trance and answered. "Please sir. I just want to go home to my grandfather."

"Answer my question." the man said.

"Y-Yugi." Yugi stuttered.

"Hm interesting name." the man said. "I am Vampire Lord Atem Kodai."

"V-vampire? Lord?" Yugi asked in fear.

"Yes. So I suggest you keep this in mind when you speak to me little human." Atem said smirking at him.

"Can I please go home?" Yugi begged. "I have a grandfather who is bound to be worried about me."

"You won't have to worry about that from now on." Atem said.

"What?" Yugi asked

"You are going no where. You are now my pet." Aem said standing.

"I'm not a pet." Yugi said.

"You are now." Atem walked towards him. Yugi gulped and tried to scoot back but found he was incapable of doing that due to the chains. Atem grabbed the chain connected to the collar and pulled. Yugi fell foward. He winced. "You're my pet Yugi. Accept it."

"No! I won't! I'm no one's pet!" Yugi screamed though he wouldn't look at the vampire. If he did he would lose his confidence for sure.

He heard a low growl. Atem forced him to look at him. Yugi gulped as he looked at the anger in his eyes. "Learn this now little one. You don't want to challenge me." he dropped Yugi's face who just let his head hang. He heard Atem walk away.

"What do you want us to do with him my Lord?" a servant asked.

"Put him in a cage. I want him in the one closest to my chambers." Atem ordered as he walked out.

"Yes my Lord." the servant bowed. A moment later Yugi was taken out of the chain only to be put in more. He was forced to follow the servant down a hall until he came to a room. He was confused. Didn't the vampire say a cage?

The servant opened the door and pulled Yugi in. Yugi stumbled slightly and looked around. Cage was an understatement. It really was a giant cage. Well he shouldn't say giant. The ceiling was only about five and half feet tall and only about 6 feet wide. He was literally in a cage. It had a mattress and a toilet. Nothing else besides a window that was barred up.

"Th-this is it?" Yugi felt like breaking down.

The servant removed the chains but left the metal bracelets and collar on. She then left closing the door behind her and locked it. Yugi stood there for a moment before he fell to his knees. He hugged himself as he felt tears coming. He wanted to go home.

*Time skip*

Yugi woke up to the door being opened. Before he had time to register or completely wake up chains were put on him and he was pulled out of bed. Stumbling he followed the servant out.

"W-what's going on?" Yugi stuttered.

"Lord Atem has called for his newest pet." the servant said.

"Th-that's me?" Yugi asked in fear.

"Yes." she nodded. She took him to the room he had first seen the man named Atem in.

He was sitting on the large chair looking as if he was on top of the world. Atem had a smirk that said he dared anyone to challenge him. Yugi doubted many people took him up on that dare.

The servant pulled him till he was about 20 feet in front of Atem's chair. "My Lord. here is the pet you have requested."

"Very good. There is no need to chain him. He will learn quickly i am not to be taken lightly." Atem said with a smirk. The servant bowed before leaving. Yugi gulped as he was now alone with a man he had no doubt he couldn't over power. This man was tall and obviously strong. Maybe even clever as well.

"Why won't you let me go?" Yugi glared. He wasn't about to seem weak in front of his captor.

"Because you belong to me now." Atem said getting up. Yugi immediately started taking steps back.

"No! I'm not a pet!" Yugi said defiantly. Atem started walking towards him. With every step Atem took forward Yugi took one back.

"Oh but you are." Atem was suddenly behind Yugi. Yugi jumped and turned. Atem stared down at him harshly. "And i won't stand for defiance from you just as i don't my other pets."

Yugi glared at him. "How many times do i have to tell you!? I'm not your pet!" Yugi screamed. Atem's reaction was quick. Yugi put a hand to his cheek that now stung.

"You are my pet and you will obey me." Atem growled.

"And if i don't?" Yugi asked.

"You will be let go. Permanently." Atem's voice was low and deadly. Yugi gulped and nodded. He wasn't ready to die yet. "Now let's go. I must do a few tasks and check on my army."

"Army?" Yugi asked.

"Well more of uh a small fleet. It is the best fighters known to vampire kind." Atem said as he walked. Yugi followed.

"You keep saying vampire but they don't exist." Yugi said.

"Is that what you think?" Atem asked glancing back at him. Yugi couldn't figure out what was in Atem's eyes. Before it was anger now it was something...lighter.

"Its what i know. Vampires are fake. Just made up stories." Yugi said.

"Hm well you have a lot to learn then." Atem said

"What do you mean?" Yugi asked

"You'll see." Atem said distantly. He came to a room and opened the door. Yugi followed in. he found it to be a huge room that looked much like a gym. Atem continued walking and Yugi followed. They stopped when they came to a man beating on a sand bag.

"What is it my lord?" the man asked as he pounded on the bag.

"Any word on the thief?" Atem asked.

The man sighed and turned to him. "He's moving. Quickly. He's coming this way."

"Oh that should be fun. Any idea what he's after?" Atem asked.

"You, of course." the man said turning back to the bag. He started pounding on the bag again.

"Of course. He's always been after me. Now the question is what does he want?" Atem asked as he sat on a nearby chair.

"My guess is to kill you and take over the kingdom." the man said.

Yugi listened to them. They must be crazy. Kingdoms, vampires, a lord? This must be a dream. He just wished he'd wake up soon.

"That's a logical guess. Hm well i won't go down so easily. Bakura can try his best but he won't succeed. Not without a fight." Atem said.

"Of course my Lord." the man said.

"I must go feed now. Oh have you seen my newest pet?" Atem asked going to stand next to Yugi. he put a hand on him possessively.

The man looked at them. He seemed to study Yugi. Yugi tensed at the stare he got from the man. "He looks...appealing. Have you tasted him yet?"

"No. i am going to do that now. He disbelieves in vampires." Atem said smirking at the man.

"Hm he must be very naive then." the man said.

"Yes." Atem nodded.

"Has he been trained yet?" the man asked.

"I just received him last night." Atem said.

"Then why is he off chains? My Lord with all due respect he could hurt you at any moment with him not being trained. I insist you put him on chains." the man said.

"That is not necessary. He will be trained soon enough." Atem said. "Now that is enough of this conversation."

"But my Lord-" the man started.

"No. This discussion is over." Atem ordered before walking out. Yugi stood there staring at the man who stood there glaring at him.

"Do anything to hurt him and i will kill you myself." the man growled at him.

"I'm the one being held captive and yet you think i'll hurt him? You people really are crazy." Yugi said before following Atem out.

He wondering where they were going now. He also wondered what that man meant by being trained. They couldn't seriously mean train him like a dog right? That's absurd! He was not a pet and he never would be. He needed to get out. The question is how?

~Meanwhile~

"Sir news from the palace." a man said coming to the thief king. Bakura was busy training and hated being interrupted.

"What is it?" he growled.

"He has taken on a new pet. This one however is um interesting." the man said.

"Interesting how?" Bakura demanded.

"Well he looks like a sort of cuter version of the lord." the man said.

"Hm then perhaps i should take a look at this pet of his." Bakura smirked.

"Sir is that wise?" the man asked.

Bakura stopped what he was doing and turned to him. "Are you questioning me?"

"No of course not! I just don't want you in danger." the man immediately bowed.

"Get the men prepared. We're going into town." Bakura ordered.

"Yes sir." the man nodded before walking away.

Bakura smirked. "Soon Vampire Lord you will be in my grasp and when i do you will be begging for death."

I know i really need to update and i will i promise. But please review this story! thanks!
