Chapter 3: The Revealed Hunters

Ryo was sitting on his recliner next to the window. He had his television on, but he was staring out the window instead. He watched the drops of rain fall from the sky, and listened as they crashed into the roof outside. However, no matter how hard he tried to relax, he still had the feeling that he was being watched. A shiver ran down his spine. Was there something out there?

He heard someone knock on his door. He turned around and looked it. There were another few knocks, and then he ran over to the door.

"Alright, alright," he yelled, "just give me a minute!" He opened the door, and saw Chihiro and Yugi.

"Chihiro," the pale hikari joked, "did you loose Pikako again and you're recruiting everyone for search parties?" Chihiro slanted her eyes.

"I wish," she answered, "but we've got bigger problems then a missing cat." Ryo's smile left his face, and he invited them in. His guests sat down on his white leather couch, and Ryo offered them drinks. Yugi nodded.

"Ryo," Chihiro asked, "may I go with you to help with the drinks?" Ryo was about to tell her that he could handle it, but then he looked into her blue eyes. Something other then the drinks were bothering the female hikari.

They walked through the kitchen door. Chihiro walked over to one side of the island, and Ryo stood on the other. They met eye contact, yet they remained silent.

"So," the white-haired hikari asked, "what is it?" Chihiro looked at the countertop.

"Get your stuff out, Ryo," she mumbled, "we've got another mission to accomplish."


Yugi was walking back to the game shop, alone. Yami had been attacked, and Chihiro said that she'd make sure that the dog would soon find a new and happy home. Ryo had also told him to go straight home, and not to stop for anything or anyone.

Every time he thought he heard something or saw the shadows move, his heart would start racing. He heard a loud bang come from an alley behind him, and he started running for dear life.

The hikari was relieved when he saw the small park that came right before the shop. He stopped running, and began walking briskly home. He kept feeling shivers go down his spine, but he ignored them.

Just when he thought he was home free, Yugi saw a huge shadow slip through the shadows in the corner of his eyes. He froze, and he slowly turned his head. The shadow started coming closer, but Yugi was too scared to move. When the shadow moved into the moonlight, Yugi screamed in terror.

The creature wasn't pale, but its skin was pure white instead, and it had no hair. Its eyes were blood red with empty black pupils, and when it hissed, it revealed its sharp fangs.

Yugi tried to run, but his legs were still paralyzed from pure fright. He couldn't even scream for help, let alone fight back. The creature moved closer and closer, and it eventually reached the hikari. It grabbed and held down his shoulders, even though Yugi could never escape in the first place. The hikari could feel the sweat and tears run down his face as the vampire was trying to find the right spot on his neck to bite from. When it found it, the vampire leaned back and swung its fangs towards Yugi's unprotected neck.

The hikari closed his eyes as he waited for the fangs the pierce his skin, however when he could feel the fangs pressing down, they were pulled back before they went inside for his precious red liquid. He opened his eyes to growling and hissing, and saw a large black dog fighting with the creature. Its teeth gleamed in the moonlight as the dog bared them to frighten off the vampire. As it lunged towards the blood-sucking creature's neck, a brown dog tackled the black one and they became a large ball of claws and fur.

The vampire must have slipped away because Yugi didn't see it anymore. He kept an eye on the dogs and another for the possibility of a sneak attack. He flinched as he heard loud gun shots from behind. He heard a wail of pain, and turned to see that brown dog's body was limp, and it covered in blood. The black dog stood up and shook its coat. Yugi took a closer look at it, and noticed that it was much too large to be a dog.

"Oi," a voice growled from behind the hikari, "what have I told you about running on ahead." The animal snorted.

"Well," it growled in a female's voice, "I seemed to have done a pretty good job getting rid of this one." It looked at the dead carcass of the other ball of fur with a hint of pride in her eyes. Yugi's mouth was wide open, and disbelief silenced him. The male voice from behind walked up next to Yugi.

"Never mind that," he ordered, "they'll take care of the body. Now get over here and check on the vi…" He froze when he met eye-to-eye with Yugi. Yugi looked at the mystery man. He was wearing a black, long-sleeve black leather jacket that was buttoned all the way up to his neck and dark blue boot-cut jeans, as well as black boots underneath. He had white hair and brown eyes and was holding a large shot gun, probably built to hunt large game.

"R-Ryo," Yugi stumbled in disbelief, "w-what's going on?! And who the hell is that dog over there?!" He pointed towards the large dog, and its neck fur rose and its hackles were raised.

"For the record," it growled as it stalked over, "I'm a werewolf, not a dog, baka!" The wolf's fur was beginning to be replaced by clothes and pale skin, and it began to walk on two feet instead of four. Soon it looked like a woman with black hair, and when she looked at Yugi, his mouth gaped open. She was wearing a silk, sleeveless top with a scarf-like cloth keeping it from opening up. The top was dark blue, and the scarf was a golden yellow. Her pants were black, and she was wearing a pair of flip-flops. Around her waist were gun holders, and inside both pockets, one on the left and one on the right, were silver hand guns. There was a pocket tied onto her leg containing a knife, probably for close combat if she hadn't already shape shifted.

"Ch-Chihiro?!" he choked. When Chihiro reached the boys, she smiled.

"Konbanwa, Yugi," she greeted.

"W-what were they," Yugi asked, "Was that a vampire and another werewolf? And why does it look as if you guys are hunting them down or something?!" Chihiro and Ryo looked at each other.

"Well," Ryo explained, "to accurately answer your questions, let's put it this way: those creatures you saw were a vampire and a werewolf, but they were only pawns. The real controller of the vampires is still loose in the city. And about hunting? Well, you could phrase it like that."

"We've been hired by the government and local authorities to hunt these creatures down," Chihiro continued for Ryo, "however, we deal with all activities of the paranormal." Yugi eyes brightened.

"But what about you, Chihiro?" he asked again. Yugi felt a little bad about asking so many questions. However, they didn't seem to mind.

"A garou, or werewolf, usually team up with a kyuuketsuki, or vampire," she explained, "but we're treated more like servants and pets then actual partners. So when I ran away, I ran into Ryo, and we became official paranormal hunters." Yugi nodded.

"I get it," he understood.

"And now that you know all of this," the female hikari explained, "We're going to have to kill you." Yugi laughed, but when the hunters didn't join him, he suddenly got nervous. Chihiro pulled out her hand guns, and spun them on her fingers like a cowboy before pointing them at Yugi. He looked at Ryo, but he was reloading his weapon.

"No," Yugi wailed pitifully, "don't kill me! I promise I won't tell a single soul! Honestly! Just please don't pull the trigger!" He fell on his knees and began crying, but when he looked up, Ryo and Chihiro were laughing.

"Alright," Ryo laughed as he and Chihiro put their guns away, "we'll let you live." They were smiling as they looked at the confused spiky-haired hikari.

"We weren't really going to shoot," Chihiro explained, "we just wanted to make sure that you'd keep our secret safe!"

"Nani," Yugi yowled, "so you were only doing it to make sure I'd keep my mouth shut about all of this?!"

"Hai," Ryo responded, "that's exactly it!"

"That was dirty," Yugi complained.

"But it worked!" Chihiro retorted. Yugi gave in. he stood up, and yawned.

"Well," he announced, "I'm going home. I think I've had enough paranormal to last me my whole life. Oyasuminasai!"

"Iterasai, Yugi!" They returned, and as Ryo and Chihiro made their way back to their apartment building, Yugi made it home safely.
