Hey…reposted this fic.  Decided to stop the jokes.  And yes, this fic is based off of Amelia Atwater-Rhodes's creations.  Especially this first chapter.  But that is it.

So thank you for the reviews, and remember that Yami is treating like any other Hunter because Yugi hurt him in the last book.  So basically, he forgot about him, more accurately, shoved him into the furthest regions of his mind.

And it takes place a year after 'Don't Tell'.

Blood Lust

Chapter_01: First Kill

_~ + ~_

Yugi glanced around his surroundings carefully.  The fiends were sitting on the couch or leaning against the wall.  Unsuspecting mortals were mingling around with the leeches, chatting casually, or, in some cases, making out.  Here he was at one of the Vampires' circuits, the one that Yami ran with.

Yugi's eyes darkened at the thought of that Vampire.  Yami had managed to kill Sia, one of the most powerful witches in history.  And he also had some more…personal problems against Yami.

Baka Vampire.  I will have my revenge! Yugi thought angrily, closing his fist tightly until his knuckles turned white.

Yami.  One of the most feared and despised vampires of all times.  Powerful as well.

Yugi wandered around casually, looking for Yami.  Even though he was outnumbered, he felt confident.  He could feel the long blade inside a spine sheath that was attached to his back, underneath a black, sleeveless, form fitting top.  Twin daggers were hidden inside each of his knee-high boots.  Black leather pants, a black, silver buckle belt choker on his wrists and neck completed the assumable.

But his 5' frame and wide, violet eyes gave him an air of innocence that made him appear vulnerable and easy prey. Huh.  Yeah, right, Yugi was anything but.

A rather handsome vampire made its way over to Yugi. He flinched slightly as the vampire got closer, its aura making Yugi's stomach do flip-flops. But Yugi hid his feelings, as his aura. He just smiled.

"Hello." Kaitos, Yugi had finally identified him, said slyly.

"What are you doing here, one so beautiful as yourself should not go unescorted." Kaitos murmured.

"Lets go somewhere more private." Yugi whispered huskily.

Kaitos grinned as he led Yugi outside of the house into the darkness. He placed Yugi up against the wall, wrapping his arms around Yugi's slim waist.

¤ Yugi's POV ¤

Being near this creature makes me want to vomit, but I hold it in. Tilting my head back, I know where his gaze would travel. But letting them drink my blood was farther than I would go. Reacting quickly, I drew the blade from my spine sheath and stabbed Kaitos in the heart. Doing so with a normal blade would only have healed instantly, but this was no ordinary blade. Sia herself had forged it with magic.

I smirked darkly as I watched the Leech thrash silently beneath my blade.  Finally, he was dead, well, completely dead, seeing as his heart had stopped beating a long time ago.

Suddenly, I felt another aura hit me, ten times more powerful than Kaitos. There was only one vampire at this bash with an aura that powerful: Yami.

¤ Yami's POV ¤

I could see the witch flinch visibly beneath my aura. Ha. And I thought that Hunters could control their emotions. He turned around slowly, his own aura glowing brightly.

Light and Dark.

It was probably this moment that changed my life, but I will never know.

"I want to thank you for disposing him. He was rather boring." I drawled.

The little witch glared at me, narrowing his violet eyes. He was beautiful, delicate. Even innocent, even though he killed for a living. Maybe what I felt for him was because he looked so much like me.

"What do you want, Leech?" The small one spat out violently.

"Temper, temper." I grinned. Before he could react, I strengthened my aura, and weakened his. Forcing him against the wall, I sank my fangs into his neck. I could feel the power from this witch, Yugi as I had found out from his mind, flowing throughout my veins. I released reluctantly, but I wanted the boy to live. I had other plans for him.

Aw, what the heck. Might as well give into temptation. He won't remember much of what happened..

I pressed my bloody lips to Yugi's, the coppery taste making it all the more sweet. His lips were trembling, as I pressed harder. Finally, I let go, much to my dislike, and teleported the both of us to an empty alley four blocks away.  But before I left, I carved the eye of Ra ( the eye on the puzzle.... ) on his upper arm with an ankh to the bottom right. this was my calling card. Besides the fact that no other vampire would touch him now for fear of my wrath, it gave the added bonus of disgracing him to the witch community.  I smiled. Life was good.

¤ Yugi's POV ¤

I sat up groggily. Where was I? The last thing I remembered was killing Kaitos. The rest of the night was a blur. I was suddenly aware of a pain shooting down my right arm. I went into shock after I saw what was there.

The Mark of Yami.

What was I going to tell the others? That I killed one Leech and got claimed by another? And that that other was Yami? I just prayed to the Gods that it wouldn't scar, even though it probably would. But a question still lingered on my mind.

Why did Yami spare me?
