Anory: What is with you an these short chapters?
Star: Maybe Neko-Mommy is running low on plot-kitties…
Bakura: -glares- Well maybe if you didn't bloody eat them all this wouldn't be happening!
Star: -growls-
Anory: I'd be careful there Baky-
Bakura: STOP CALLING ME THAT!
Anory: -Star has a 'sharp' temper.
Bakura: Huh! Like a little brat could- -screams in pain-
Star: -growling with her teeth clamped to Bakura's rear-
Anory: O_o; I tried to warn him…
Neko: I busted up my hand recently. Not to bad so I can't write but bad enough to where I can't do anything for to long. So this chapter will have to go unedited for now, despite it's shortness due to my injury. I promise the next chapter will be much longer. ^^ It's already in the works.

"No no no no no!" Yugi protested his mind still in shock but his intuition never wailing. His large gem eyes started in absolute astonishment. Glancing over to Cecelia and then Odion the teen could tell that the two agents were just as shocked, if not more so then himself. "I-I can't just be replaced here." Turning he now glared at the amused face of Hathor. "I have a life. A job. Friends! They… They'll wonder where I am. And if I just up and left they get suspicious." Yugi mentally cheered for his quick thinking for it to only be silenced seconds later.
The green eyes of Hathor seemed to shimmer an unnatural spark before the Supreme Alpha broke out into contained laughter. This though only caused the two agents to gawk more at there head leader. Apparently she wasn't as amused as she was with Yugi with her agents. And this allow worried the teen to what this woman was really capable of.
"Oh Moto," Hathor said his last name with amusement Yugi couldn't help the growl that resinated from throat. "I'm afraid you don't have a choose on the matter."
The teens eyes stretched wide in horror and confusion. Before to could speak the obvious question she continued. "I have already sent out a team to collect your belongs. As for your previous job… You are no longer employed. Courtesy of Seto Kaiba himself." The woman's smirk only grew as the bug eyed shock of disbelief from Yugi. "As for your friends-"
The teen instantly flinched. "What have you done to them!?" The light in his eyes darkened just a bit. If they did anything to Hana or Mono…
"You can calm you anger Moto. No harm has or will come to them." Yugi visibly sighed in relief. "We simply had you wiped from there memories."
The statement was like a trigger Yugi never knew excited. For the moment Hathor revealed the her actions the smaller lunged at her. Yugi didn't even get two feet before he pinned to the ground by the muscular agent Odion. Cecelia had a gun drawn. Merely inches from his head. "How could you? What have I ever done to you people!" Yugi cried not even trying to struggle, knowing it'd be pointless. Hot tears of anger and resentment fell from his reddening eyes. "All I did was help one of your men, and this is the thanks I get!" Yugi turned his head trying to bury his face into the carpet as he continued to cry. "You rip from my home, my job. My life! And force me into yours?" The room grew silent for a few minutes as all that could be head were the muffled sobs coming from the teen.
"You people really are animals." Yugi grit his teeth.
Silence once again took over but lasted for only a moment. The head leader openly sighed. "The truth is Yugi if we didn't take you the enemy would have killed you."
At this new information Yugi's head snapped up to look at the Supreme Alpha in shock. Hathor nodded to her agents to release the teen which they did and returned to there guarding posts. Though keeping a weary eye on the boy.
"What do you mean by that?"
Again Hathor sighed, though this time she sounded more tired before leaning back into her chair. "We are a secret organization that has been around since the time of Pharaohs. Since the dawn of time there have always two types of beings. One the ancient Egyptians called SKHNY SHU and the other TCHT IB." Hathor paused too see if Yugi understood the words and when he showed no indication of not se continued. "The SKHNY SHU were both friend and guardian to the egyptians. However they were always in a constant battle with the TCHT IB. Hundreds of years later an SKHNY SHU was born that was too be Pharaoh. When he took the throne he also organized an secret council separate from his original one. The was the birthing of Ra's Light. However the TCHT IB somehow caught wide of this and mounted a full scale attack. The Pharaoh won and the TCHT IB been into hiding but the people feared the SKHNY SHU. Feared there Pharaoh be an SKHNY SHU. The people's fear was so great a rebellion started to whip out the SKHNY SHU. The Pharaoh and his most trusted followers fled. For thousands of years Ra's Light has been hunting and eliminating all of the remaining TCHT IB. At least up until two hundred years ago."
Hathor's green gaze landed on Yugi who instantly froze in his reseated spot. A grown chill rising in the pit of his stomach. The head leader's eyes seemed to darken and an invisible heavy weight looked to hang within that gaze. A weight of anger and grief. "It was then a third group of bring…appeared in a since." The shoulder's of the Supreme Alpha gave a touch twitch signifying her tensing of her muscles. "You see Moto this new enemy, despite it's lengthy appearance we no little to nothing about it." Yugi's head tilted some in confusion. "The reason being, we can not see them. Nor can we scene there presence." A growl rose from Hathor's throat. "So even in brood daylight it's alike were fighting in complete darkness. We've lost so many to them already." Her gaze then refocused on Yugi and what could be described as a spark of hope now shun within her green pools. "But I have a feeling all that's about to change."
A skeptical look from Yugi told her he though she was crazy. Hathor though just waved it off. Deciding to let the conversation end there. Rising from her chair she walked around her desk and head for the door. "Now come with me Moto. We need to announce your arrival as well as the team you will be placed with."
For just a few seconds Yugi contemplated on making a run for. He didn't belong here. He didn't want to fight some mystical monsters. He didn't want to partake in some ancient war. And he certainly didn't want to be around all these crazy people. None of this had anything too do with me! Okay, so he saved one of there members. Did that really insinuate to there enemy that he was an ally? That was just stupid. One the other hand if Yugi did indeed go back, where would he go? He no longer had a job of home according to Hathor and with the way she seemed so commanding -not to mention all the humanoid people a few meters under them- he sensed she had to capability. Not only that by his only two real friends would no longer know of him.
Sigh somberly at his changed and twisted fate Yugi got upend follow the redhead out. Cecelia and Odion right behind him.
Traveling down a pathway that overlooked everyone below them Yugi clearly noticed that all commotion and noise ended the moment he and Hathor become visible. The teen fought the urge to cower away and hide as all eyes were direction on him. 'It feels like high school all over again.' he mentally whimpered.
Hathor came to a stop in the center of a pathway the hung in the center of the enormous room as the people and…creatures belong shifted them head up to watch and listen to what there leader said.
"Member of Ra's Light," she began, her voice booming and echoing from the high elevation. "It has been brought to my attention that not only have these unknown enemies become more active in the last eighteen years but also more aggressive." Silent murmurs of agreements were heard. "So I have decided, after receiving some rather interesting information that we shall taken a new operative whom I've assessed personally."
The statement was met with immediate reaction of mixed emotions. Some were eager and excited for the change. Some were not please or downright refused to allow such a thing. While others were skeptical and chose to reserve there judgement for a later time.
The explosion of opinions were instantly silenced with a loud, commanding 'silence' from Hathor. The order echoed for a while off the steel and stone walls.
"Do you question my choice?" When not answer was heard Hathor gestured for Yugi to stand beside her. The teen timidly acknowledged and obeyed. If those monster-like people were afraid of her then it might be of a wisest decision to never get on her bad side. "This here is Yugi Moto. From this day forward he will be one of the spacial agents and be place within Yami's pack."
No angry cries. No demands. No snarls or growls of outrage. Simply nothing. And it was that nothingness that Yugi then knew that the silence was far worst then vocal outrage. Especially when that chilling sensation in his gut suddenly exploded and numbed him whole body.
Looking down Yugi saw nothing but rejection in all there eyes. Anger. Mistrust. Doubt. Rage. Loathing. Disgust. Even from the human, who Yugi thought might be a bit more welcoming.
"I want you all to be respectful and on you be behavior. If something should happen to Yugi Moto I will personally deal with the culprit as I would be with a traitor." The ominous threat turned some head away. In either shame or understanding Yugi didn't know. What the teen did know was that he remembered saying high school was like hell on earth. He mentally took back his words instantly. Cause judging by the glares and baring of teeth he could see from his high vantage point 'this' was going to be hell.
xXx
In the far corner of the room was gathered a group of eight beings. All of which were not pleased with the new development. One in particular leered death up at Yugi's form.
"This is absurd." Hissed a tall brunet. "Just what the hell is the Supreme Alpha think?"
"I say we just leave the runt to fend for himself." A dark skinned, white haired man growled.
Dark violent eyes narrowed hatefully up at the teen as another male with dark skin and platinum blond growled. "Especially when we go on the next mission."
All eight head nodded in silent agreement.
Blazing red eyes burned up towards the teen as if the owner was trying to cause the boy to spontaneously combust. With one growling a formative from the red eyed male the other seven grinned.
"Indeed."

SKHNY SHU - the one who embraces the Sun/daylight
TCHT IB - cobra/snake heart
Neko: There you have it. No one really like and/or wants Yugi there but Hathor. But why? What does she know?
~Next time: Yugi receives his not-so-warm welcoming right before he and his assigned pack are to be deployed on a mission.~
