Last time on Creatures of the Light:
"Tonight's big story: Just earlier this morning, the once beloved game shop owned by the well known Mr. Mutou was burned to the ground. Firefighters got most of the fire so it wouldn't spread to the shops nearby. They found Mr. Mutou on the first floor of the game shop with his throat cut open and bite marks all over his body. Doctors who have examined the body said he was murdered and the place burned to hide any evidence. Yugi Mutou, the grandson of Mr. Mutou and known King of Games Champion, will not be taking comments about this event. After just burying his grandfather he quotes, "I will be still playing my role as King of Games, but I will not rebuild the game shop anytime soon."
"How are we going to get the media off my back now?" he finally asked.
"Well moving to a new area is always a good start," she replied.
"But to where? The media will just follow too," he spaded.
"How about my old home town?" she suggested.
"Never thought of that and its summer time still so we can go in to a new school with no problem," Yugi said grinning.
"Alright it's settled, we leave tomorrow! I'll do the packing tonight," she explained happily.
"Is something wrong?" he asked concerned.
She at first didn't answer until the atmosphere went back to normal. "Nothing to worry about for now, it went away. Nothing for you to worry about," she finally replied with a smile.
"So, want to hang out this evening?" Ryou asked right way. Yugi looked at Mau for a second then shook his head positively. The four of them headed to the local burger joint to hang. Everything was going fine even though it was busier than normal. They were enjoying their conversation until an unknown stranger interrupted them.
"Hey wonderin' when you guys would show up," a blonde haired guy came up to them.
"Hey Joey, like for you meet our new classmates Yugi and Mau," Ryou explained as Joey sat down with them at their table.
Joey looked at the new people and shouted, "No way! Not my hero Yugi Mutou, King of Games!" Yugi lowered himself in the chair from embarrassment while Mau jumped onto him in anger.
"Do you want the media on our asses?" Mau whispered angrily as she held down Joey under the table and covering his mouth. Joey shook his head no.
"Ok, I'm going to let you go, and you won't talk about Yugi being here, ok?" she said calmly. Joey shook his head yes in understanding. She let him go and got back in her seat and even helped Joey up to his seat. Everyone, but Yugi was shocked at what happened.
"Mau, you could have at least not tried not to make so much of a scene with your actions," Yugi replied calmly at her.
"Sorry, Yugi, but its ether odd looks or the media," she replied. Everyone else stilled looked at them as if they had three heads each.
"The media still will find out where I am since the whole school knows who I am, and I know it's because I am too honest for my own good sometimes," Yugi replied before he turned to the others staring at them.
"Wow, you guys must go through this a lot if you can talk normally too each other like that after what happened," Ryou said after moments of silence.
"And Joey is still shocked to even talk, nice job I have been trying to get him to stop talking for like years," Bakura giggled at Joey. Joey just still stared at them speechless. Mau thought maybe she did go a little too far and scared him deeper then she thought. She started to have a worried look on her face as she looked at Yugi.
"Hey, it's ok Joey. She just really protective of me since this whole situation started," Yugi said to get the atmosphere calmer and in to a friendly chat between the two.
"I'm sorry if I hurt you Joey, like Yugi said I get really protective of him and my actions can lead to hurting more than protecting sometimes," Mau apologized.
"No no, it wasn't you jumping me, but I still can't believe my hero of games is here in front of me and talking to me like its nothing about it," Joey finally said with a huge grin.
They all got into a nice conversation as the food was ordered and served. They got into duel monsters and other things that can be done in the town.
"So, you took kun-fu and tai-chi, and you have double black belt in both," Bakura said when Mau talked about her fighting abilities.
"Yep, and can I can also kick-box and do real boxing in cages, as I traveled," Mau replied proudly as they set up to leave.
"I think you have competition Bakura, I would pay anything to see this fight," Joey replied hanging over him.
"Yes, I can go for that sometime. And GET OFF ME!" Bakura said as he shoved Joey off himself.
"We'll see you guys later," Yugi said as he and Mau headed to their car. They said their good-byes. Yugi and Mau relaxed and did their work from school when they got home. It was around dinner time when they got done together.
"I have noticed that a full moon is coming up this week and the bottles are getting low," Yugi said as he got the items to get dinner started.
"Good call on the bottles, I'll get more tonight," she replies as she started to chop the veggies. The rest of the night was a calm one for them.
"Today was actually fun, instead of having people on us being the new people," Mau comments.
"Well, I would at least be noticeable anyway since my fame as King of Games and recent news," Yugi replied.
"We better keep an eye on that Joey though I think, not because he's a bad kid but he has that big mouth attention in his eye," she said as she finished eating.
"I can tell from when he found out who I was," Yugi giggled on the comment.
"Oh, I'm just wondering, where would you get the blood this late at night?" he asked as he finished up the last of the dishes.
"There has always been wild deer and predators in these parts of the hills, and no one will notice the lost of population since I only take a few out once in a while," she explained as she started to get a few bottles in a backpack.
"I remember you once said that this was your old home town, how did you get a house like this so quickly?" he asked.
"I had this home as a summer house a few years ago, but I kept it under a different name. I always loved the wild life here, so I had this house on and off through the years," she explained.
"But that doesn't fully explain how you got this house on short notice," he replied.
"I was going to come during the summer when school got out, but that whole stupid situation right before school got out kept me from coming on time," she said with a sad expression on her face.
"Ah, but why two bedrooms and bathrooms as a summer house?" he asked on a happier note.
"Other travelers like me come and go sometimes, but I only let them in the house if I know them fully or an emergency," she explained before she let the room, "I'm going into the shower before I head out. Do we need anything else while I'm out tonight that I should pick up?"
"Ah yeah, but I can get the extra groceries while you're out since there is still light out," he explained as he put on his shoes.
"Be safe driving, this would be only your second or third time driving at night into town," she shouted as he left.
"I will!" he shouted back before closing the door.
After Yugi left, Mau got ready to go on her runs again. She couldn't shake the feeling she had when they first got to town. She knows a hunter still in the area, but can't pick up a trail that led to where this hunter lived.
'I don't want this to go on, especially since now Yugi is dragged into my life now. I hope this hunter shows himself soon. I know it's male from some of the traps I recently found. I won't tell Yugi that I almost got caught in one; he just started a new since his grandfather died. These traps seem to be done professionally, but lack the elements to work them right. The hunter himself is the most of my worries, he seems to know how to make traps and use them but lack the knowledge of over 50 year old demons, maybe 100 years old,' she thought as she collected her blood from nearby deer.
'I think I'll head in early and maybe meet Yugi along the way,' she thought packing up.
With Yugi
"Alright, milk, sugar, salt, butter, chicken with bones, tons and tons of fish, man this is the weirdest shopping list she has come up with yet, ok now on to check o..ow," he said before he ran into someone while looking at the shopping list.
"Oh, so sorry. I wasn't looking at where I was going," Yugi said right away.
"That alright, I wasn't looking ether," a male said kindly. As they collected up the stuff, Yugi noticed that a knifelike figure before he picked it up. The knife had Egyptian markings on the handle. Yugi's eyes widen at the sight before handling it to the male he knocked over.
"Thanks, well I must get going," the male said before he turned to leave.
"No problem," Yugi said getting a good look at the stranger finally. The stranger seemed to be a little taller than him, maybe taller than Mau herself. He had a tan completion. Yugi didn't get a good look of his face before he left, and couldn't get a hair color because the man was wearing a cap. Yugi finished checking out and almost running out the door in panic after meeting the strange man. He was just about to start the car before he jumped from the tapping on the window. It was Mau, and she had a worried look on her face.
"You look like you have seen a ghost," she said before she got into the car.
"You could say that," Yugi replied getting the car out of the parking lot. Mau then noticed a strange smell in the car, and it was coming off Yugi.
"Was the store packed tonight Yugi?" she asked with almost hungry look in her eye.
"No, but I did bump into someone before checking out," he explained worried.
"Was it a male with maybe an Egyptian complexion?" she asked as her ears started to come into show.
"Well yes, and I think I know where you're going with this Mau because he has the knife that almost killed you that night," Yugi replied almost shaking.
"He is that hunter I have been looking for Yugi, you have his smell on you and he having that knife just gives me more problems now," Mau said trying to calm down. An awkward silence claimed the car ride back. When back in their house and everything put away, Mau seemed to be getting more and more of an annoyed with a nervous aura around her.
"I'll take a bath and try to see if his smell will calm you down enough before you freak out and ran after him," he said calmly and over his shock and memory.
"That may be a good idea Yugi, and I'll clean your clothes so leave them outside the door before you go in, please," she said finally fully calm as he walked away toward his bathroom.
After Yugi went to bed, Mau made sure he was asleep before she went off to hunt. She had so much anger in her blood stream from what happen that night. She hunted two deer and more than just their blood as she tore them apart with her full share teeth and nails. She was in full demon form during the whole process, with cat eyes shining red as blood and hunger, a black tail with a devil point at the end, and her skin darker almost black like she has been running through the desert of her homeland in Egypt all day on the hottest day of the year. She cleaned up the area, so nothing will come back to bite her later. It was dawn when she came home, and saw Yugi getting breakfast ready and she was back to her human form before he spotted her.
Everything seemed to be back to normal then next few days after she came back that night. Yugi and Mau didn't get attacked but any reporters so far as them been there, and they were glad about that.
"Hey, you guys!" Joey said greet the four friends at their usual burger place.
"Hey Joey, glad you can make it," Ryou said as he sat down with them.
"Like he would miss a meal ever," Bakura teased.
"Anyway, you guys know that trying to make a band for a while now right?" Joey asked. Yugi and Mau just look at him confused.
"He has been trying to get one together for like about a year so far, but couldn't because of his college and work schedule," Ryou explained to them.
"Right, well now I can start try-outs for positions if you guys are interested," Joey said gladly.
"Count me and Ryou in," Bakura said poking Ryou alittle. Ryou just blushed at the notation.
"Hey Yugi, we should try also," Mau replied smiling big.
"Sure, I don't mind trying it out," Yugi replied to Mau.
"Great, all you can come and please come with the instruments you will be using in the band if you can," Joey said hanging them each a flyer.
