Alright, I admit, I actually don't think that my vampire story sucks, I really like it, but I said that to mess with Ms. Hathor. She's fun to mess with, though I don't want to get hit with another book by here again…
This story is going to be a bit… different then what you normally read for a vampire fic and I have a lot of it already set up. Oh, I should state that a lot of characters are, in fact, other beast, we don't have just vampires in this story because I want to put in a few other beasts.
I should probably go ahead and explain what the different people and groups are:
Hunters are humans who have been infused with a small amount of blood from certain creatures to allow them to fight. They live normal lives among humans but at night they fight due to it being the witching time. Hunters' ranks depend on the blood they are infused with and how much.
The blood that you are given is that of vampires, were-beasts (any kind), witches (though this is only if you do not have strong enough magic) element creatures, succubus, ghouls (if you loose your humanity when injected with vampire blood), and monsters.
Vampires are the living undead. Weak level vampires, those who were changed under strange circumstances, turn into mangy beast that then turn into brain-dead ghouls and are weak against holy objects from the regions they live in, the sun, water, and your typical vampire repellents. They are the most common and the ones that many people have heard of, found mostly in Eastern Europe.
Mid-level are minion vampires that are stronger then weak level ones, but are still affected by the same objects, these ones have more control.
High level vampires are able to live longer and age extremely slowly. Unlike the ones before who are created in brutal events, High level vampires are created by volunteering themselves to a vampire, on the brink of death, or through close contact with the vampire that gave them life. They can withstand certain vampire repellents but sunlight and water are their greatest enemies. They can even control animals and elements.
Vampire lords, however, are the oldest and most powerful, they themselves are able to live in sunlight, but they are cursed never to sleep and still have to drink the blood, or life force, of humans or animals. Their powers are stronger then those of high level vampires. They can live on for years without ever ageing and they are the second rarest of the vampire species.
The rarest are the half-breed vampires, born of human and vampire blood. They are so rare that until now there has only been one known case of a half-vampire and he died 3000 years ago. Now there are two new ones who both have different abilities and life styles with the mixed blood they have.
The oldest is stronger and doesn't live on blood, but the life of animals, humans, and even nature around him without killing them. The youngest is weaker and needs blood to live. They were currently unknown until just recently when a younger Hunter found the oldest.
On with the fic!
Dead!
Chapter Two: Information
"Father, why must I be kept from the other people?"
"Because you are not like them."
"But that is not true, I am like them, I look like them."
"Only until the sun sets."
The sun was setting and Yami watched the changing shades of colors descend into black and blue. "Is it over yet Nii-san?" Yami turned to see Yugi hiding at the top right corner of his bed, furthest away from the window. A small frown came to Yami as he watched his little brother trying to hide.
Yugi was affected by the dying and reanimated rays of the sun at sunset and sunrise. This was the only time the sun would affect him and it would burn him, painfully.
There were already scars on his arms from accidents and one on the back of his neck and that was the one Yami hated, it was his fault that because he woke Yugi up to early once when he was five and the face of pain on Yugi was enough to make Yami feel guilty and over protective.
"Give it five more minutes, and then you need to get ready to sleep." He spoke softly and looked at the window, his skin turning pale as the sun sank. His formed changed to his vampire form and the same went for Yugi who frowned. The sky finally became dark and Yugi crawled off the bed.
"What are you going to do tonight Yami? I mean, you have not left the house in a week since you were saved…" Yugi mumbled tugging on the sleeve of his pajamas. The older brother turned and sighed.
"I don't know Aibou, I guess I can talk to Kaiba and tell him that he shouldn't try and kill us. We are not like the others that he has come across." Flipping the hood of his hoodie over his head, Yami opened the window and stepped out.
"I'm going for a walk; tell that to Gramps if he asks." Yugi nodded and closed the window, not locking it, once Yami jumped of the roof.
"Jeez Kaiba, save some for the others!"
"Shove it Mutt! If you were a bit faster, then you could kill more."
"Don't call me a Mutt Moneybags!"
"You two are so immature!"
Kaiba, Jou, and another Hunter named Mai stood on a rooftop over looking a part of the city. They had just killed a small group of kappa who were trying to kill a woman. Mai, who has the blood of a succubus in her, warped the woman's mind, having her forget what she saw.
Jou was about to say something to Mai when he stopped, sniffing the air. "What do you smell Mutt?" Kaiba smirked, making fun of the fact that Jou had werewolf blood in him.
"I smell… vampire…" He growled and turned around, seeing a figure standing on top of an air vent that was perched on top of the door that lead to the rooftop. Kaiba looked at the figure and instantly recognized the red-eyes that peered down at him from under the blanketing shade of the hood on his head.
"You two," The brunet Hunter turned to the others, "leave, I think he wants me."
Mai and Jou nodded and jumped to another roof, going their separate ways. Kaiba turned back to Yami and glared at him. "Hello Half-Breed."
"Hello Hunter."
"Come to meet your maker?"
"No, I've come to speak to you." Yami jumped down and landed at Kaiba's feet before standing up.
"All week you have been threatening me at school, frankly, that has got to stop. I don't know what you have against vampires but don't compare someone like me to them. In human terms, that is a form of racism and I've gotten enough of that when I came here from school mates who think it's weird that me and Yugi have different skin tones."
"I don't give a shit of what you are, I've taken an oath to kill evil supernatural creatures and vampires are at the top of the list." Kaiba's hand brushed the silver gun next to him on his leg holster, Yami's eyes watching this before looking back at him.
"You honestly think that killing me will do you any good? Have you ever stopped to think that maybe not all creatures that are different then humans are evil? A lot of supernatural species are just trying to survive the only way we know how, but you, you pure-blood humans, fear them because they are different. You try to kill them even when they did nothing wrong."
"What are you getting at…?"
"Have you ever noticed that animals don't start wars, but humans do? Who's the real animal now?"
Kaiba glared deeply at Yami before pulling out his gun, pointing it at Yami with the barrel resting on his forehead. "Just you shut your mouth… I have my reasons for killing vampires and other beasts, I'm looking for someone and I really don't want things keeping me from my goal and you happen to be one of those things."
Yami just looked at him. "You're gun," Kaiba raised an eyebrow, "is it a blessed gun?"
"Yes, blessed by the Pope and made of silver that was from a holy location in India. Baptized in holy water from the Crying Wall in the Middle East, its wooden handle happens to even be from a thousand year old oak tree. It's pretty impressive; allow me to give you a first hand look at how powerful it is." Kaiba gloated; his gun was one of the rarest and most powerful Hunter weapons.
"Holy items tend to burn vampires, yes?"
"Yeah, you're point?"
"I'm not burning."
Kaiba blinked and saw that Yami's skin was not burning nor was there any pain of his pale face. His crimson-eyes flashed and in one second, Kaiba was on the ground, his weapon thrown to the side.
"You need to pay attention to your victim, make sure you know their weakness, and never let your guard down for a second." Yami spoke softly, his body pressed against Kaiba's, keeping him pinned to the ground, his hands on either side of the Hunter's head.
"Get off me…"
"You have a lot to learn about half-breeds Kaiba, we are not weak. I am not affected by items from religions, in fact, I happen to love rosaries and little trinkets from churches, they are very pretty even if they mean nothing to me in the terms of belief. Water will not work for my human blood allows me to survive its purifying powers that would normally rend a normal vampire powerless."
Kaiba raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying you are a super beast, able to survive normal vampire extermination tactics?"
"No, I'm saying it will take a lot more then what you can dish out to kill me. Kaiba, I hate death and violence, it only leads to more, so if you want to kill me, I'd rather you don't."
"And why not?" The blue-eyed man growled.
"Because I am not your true enemy, there are supernatural creatures that are evil, influenced by darkness, they are the true enemies. They are easy to identify if you look at their eyes, the whites of their eyes are black and they have slits for pupils."
"Why are you telling me this Half-Breed?"
"Because I don't want you to die, you saved my life and I have to repay you for that so I'm doing that now. There is an event coming, just as Caesar's wife told him to beware the ides of March, you must beware the Eternal Night."
Yami got off of Kaiba and let the other stand up. "What the hell is this Eternal Night you speak of Yami?"
"It's a legend, but a long time ago, a group of vampires gathered an army of dark creatures to help them block out the sun, thus causing all nocturnal beasts to live for hours and to kill. But this was stopped by a sacrifice of one person whose death ended the darkness and locked it away. The dark creatures and vampires were locked away into a deep sleep."
Kaiba watched as Yami explained this little tale to him, not believing one word. "But recently, it seems the seal for the darkness has broken and already the dark creatures have escaped, including the vampires and their leader. He has been on a killing rampage from ten years, but it seems his killings started here, in this city with the death of a married couple."
Suddenly, Kaiba's eyes widened. Ten years ago his parents were killed by a vampire, but maybe it was a coincidence that Yami mentioned this. "Do… do you know what this vampire looks like by any chance? I'm sure he has probably been killed already."
"No, he has not; he is too powerful to be taken down by Hunters. And I don't know what he really looks like but my father said that he has pale-violet eyes and a scar on his right cheek and eye."
Yami sighed and was about to speak again but gasped when Kaiba collapsed to his knees, a far off look in his eyes but fear and anger was seen clearly on his face. "Kaiba, you okay?"
"Half-Breed… when was the last time this vampire attacked here?"
"I… I think it was four or five years ago from what my grandfather told me, a young boy was killed and so were a few other children across town, though the first boy was more important since he was the son of a billionaire."
"Mokuba…" Kaiba mumbled and stood up. "Yami, I don't like you but that vampire is an enemy of mine, does that go for you as well?"
"He is the arch enemy of my father, so yes."
"Then I will spare you and your brother's lives if you help me kill that creature."
Yami looked at him. "Are you serious?! You'll help me stop the Eternal Night?!"
"Only for two reasons though. One, to not have my world ruined. And two, for revenge."
With that, he grabbed his gun and Kaiba jumped off the roof, leaving Yami all alone in thought. But both boys never noticed that someone had been listening to their conversation. A smirk played on the figure's face as he looked at Yami.
"It seems like you've come back, and even asking your most trusted ally for help again, thought it seems that he hates your guts. This is perfect; the resurrection of the Dark Lord can go off perfectly without the meddling of these two again, and the final key is already in the city."
He laughed as he walked off into the night, the smirk still on his face as he vanished into the darkness, his voice lingering in the air.
"You made everything to easy filthy child!"

I have my reasons as to why all of this information is placed so early into the story. What does this all mean anyway? To find out, you'll need to review!
