Hey! Remember this story!? Well, me neither! Okay really, I'm sorry for not updating omg! Fall semester ended and I told myself I'll catch up on writing, but I never did... oops. Which brings me to this, spring semester is starting soon so... Updates will probably be slow... again. I'll try to update as much as I can!

Also, this chapter will be on the short side aaaannnddddd not so focused on Yugi or Atem, so, who could it be? Read and find out~ Things will start to pick up after this chapter tho!

Please don't mind any mistakes I might have missed!


Seto Kaiba is a busy man; he hardly has time for answering mail and sending out E-mails personally. However, when he received a strange and rather big package in his business mail, he didn't hesitate to open it. There was no return address and the sender was marked as 'Anonymous'. His staff tried to convince him into letting them sort through it and pass it as 'safe', but the CEO vampire refused; something about the package just screamed for him to look at it and him only.

However, he wasn't expecting to get someone new to get involved.


Jounouchi groaned, throwing his remaining hand on the field mat in front of him, "Again!?"

Yugi gave his friend a sympathetic smile, "Sorry, Jounouchi." He returned his hand to his deck and gave it a shuffle, "But, you've improved so much. I'm sure one day you'll beat me."

Honda pulled Jounouchi into a playful headlock, "Don't try and boost his confidence, Yugi. He's already cocky enough." Honda snickered at his friend.

Jounouchi glared at him, "Oh, shut up." He pulled himself out of Honda's grip and turned to look back into the kitchen, "Why won't you duel Yugi, Atem?" He urged, tilting his head towards his petite friend.

Atem chuckled, "I don't if I can beat Partner." He joked, walking out of the kitchen and taking a spot on the floor in front of the coffee table next to Jounouchi, "Partner is just too good for me." He added, a playful smirk on his face.

Yugi matched his smirk, "Oh really, now?"

Atem leaned in, "Really."

"Is that a challenge, Atem?" Yugi prompted, already grabbing his deck.

"Maybe." Atem replied, his palm firmly planted on the coffee table.

The two didn't say anything for a few seconds, just smirking at each other. Their friends watched on with curiosity, wondering when they were going to make a move. Atem and Yugi matched each other's smirk, silently egging each other on. Finally, they sat back down and quickly shuffled their decks, "Best two out of three!"

Needless to say, the two went more than three rounds.


"Big Brother?" the younger Kaiba brother looked at his brother, curiosity shining in those big eyes of his, "What's that?" Mokuba asked, nodding to the box on Kaiba's desk.

Kaiba merely raised his eyes to the package before looking back to the papers in hands, "A package that arrived this morning." He spoke while quickly scribbling something down on the bottom of a page.

"Why haven't you opened it yet? Seems pretty important, don't you think?"

Kaiba stopped leafing through the important documents on his desk and looked at the package, "Don't you have more important things to worry about, Mokuba?" He looked over to his brother, "I doubt you care about what comes in the mail for me."

Mokuba's bottom lip stuck out in a small pout, "I care."

Kaiba chuckled, "Well then, you caught me." He smiled at his brother, something that only Mokuba saw, "It's important adult business."

Mokuba crossed his arms over his chest, "I may look like a kid, but you don't have to treat me like one."

Kaiba chuckled once more, "I forgot. You're one hundred and one years old and a full-on adult."

Mokuba nodded, "That's right."

Kaiba rolled his eyes in amusement, "But really Mokuba, please run along. I'm very busy." He looked back down to the documents on his desk.

"Do I have to?"

Kaiba didn't look up, "Go on, Mokuba." He spoke, his voice firm but gentle; Kaiba could never bring himself to yell at his younger brother.

Mokuba's shoulders fell and gave a small nod, "Okay." Without another word, the younger Kaiba brother left the room. Mokuba wasn't stupid, he knew his brother was putting up a front. He knew his brother was worried, maybe even scared, but there was no way Kaiba was ever to admit that aloud.

Kaiba didn't look up from the papers until the door to his office shut closed. He let out a sigh and leaned back into his chair. He rubbed his eyes with his thumb and index finger before letting his hand fall on his lap. Slowly, he looked over to the package, worry bubbling up again. He gave a sigh before sitting up straight in his chair and pulled the package closer to him. Turns out, he had opened the package but there was no way he was going to tell his brother that. Kaiba hated lying to Mokuba, but this was to protect him. He opened the package and pulled out the letter that was staring right back at him and read over the handwriting.

"Seto Kaiba,

I'm sure you're wondering why you have received this package and who I am. Well, rest assured, you will have your answers, well, for now I'll leave you with one single answer and directions. First part of the directions is contacting Yugi Mutou. You know, Headmaster Atem's little pet? That's the one. Contact him and make sure that he shows up at your office or wherever you two would like to do business. From there, you two will solve the puzzle that I have left for you together. The puzzle will have directions of what to do next. If I do not receive an answer by next week, I will take matters into my own hands. After all, it'd be a shame if something happened to Mokuba.

Next part of these directions is to tell no one. The only ones who should know about this game of ours is you and that parasite, Yugi. I don't care how you get a hold of Yugi, but you will not go through The Council, Atem, or his little friends. If you or Yugi, at any point of this game break those rules, I won't hesitate to teach you both and your loved ones a little lesson in the craft of vampire slaying.

If you value the lives of you and your brother, then you will obey my wishes and play this little game with me, Vampire.

- The Hunter"

A single chill went down Kaiba's spine. Not only was this an attack on him, but Mokuba, as well. Not only that, but he had to get someone else involved in this mess, and with someone who has close ties to The Council at that. Kaiba considered going to The Council, but what good would that do him? He didn't know if this hunter was keeping tabs on him or not and he didn't want to risk it. Normally, he would just storm ahead without second guessing or worrying about the major, long-term consequences, but he had to treat this situation the same way he runs Kaiba Corp; very carefully and with the upmost attention. Any wrong move could send The Hunter's slay numbers skyrocketing and there was no way he would risk that.

Seto Kaiba had no choice but to contact this Yugi Mutou person and play this hunter's game.


My first time writing Kaiba omg... How'd I do?
