They were still waiting. They were in Ryou's house. Siren and the Duel
Monsters had yet to arrive. The humans were ok, they just sat and waited
silently…well, now and then Joey would complain and the others would tell
him to shut up. Bakura, on the other hand, was going nuts and Yami was
watching him pace.
"What is taking so long?" Bakura asked the air, "It shouldn't take this long!
What if they got attacked? What if he found them?" his voice was getting
more and more panicked, "No. That could never happen. But what if it did?
What if…"
"Quiet!" Yami exploded, "What are you talking about? And who is 'he'?"
"Someone I hope you will never meet." Siren said, walking through the door,
"You never told them?" she asked, her piercing gaze settling on Bakura. The
sprit shook his head.
"There was no need for them to know. And…and I didn't want them to
know."
"Why?" Faith asked, as she and the magicians walked in the door.
Bakura looked down, "When I came out of the Ring, it was pretty much in the
same mental state as when I went in." he sighed, "I was completely insane,
and I did some things that I would give my life to take back."
The three monsters looked at him in shock, "Insane!" Zekk burst out, "What
made you insane? How did you even get into the Ring in the first place?"
"He fought with me." Yami said, standing up, "He came and challenged me to
a Shadow Game. I always wondered why."
The monsters looked at Bakura, "Care to enlighten us, Kura? You never
actually told us."
"It was right after you all got changed. I managed to grab your card Siren, but
Keman, Zekk and Faith had already been claimed. When I saw what they
had done to my family, I just lost it." he looked around, knowing he was
bordering on revealing too much…but he needed to speak.
"I took your card with me when I challenged Yami, but I wouldn't think of
using you on your Flesh Kin. I blamed him for what happened to you four."
"I remember," everyone looked up at Yami's words, "I remember what you
said. In the middle of the duel, I asked you why…"

"Why are you doing this?" the tri-colored haired boy yelled across the darkness
to his opponent, "What have I done to you?"
"You stole them from me!" the white haired boy screamed, "Keman, Zekk,
Faith…even my Blood Sister! You and your Ra damned quest for glory took
them away! You love the Shadow Games more than your own people, and
they are paying the price! I seek vengeance for all those that have been
destroyed."

"Did you mean them?" Yami asked, "You meant them, when you told me I'd
taken your family."
"Yes," the spirit of the Ring nodded, "you played the Games so much and
needed more powerful monsters so your advisors hunted down every person
with a drop of power and changed them. I fought you to set them all free."
"But…I don't understand." Yami said, "You were so close to defeating me and
freeing your friends, then you gave up. You let me destroy your last monster
and imprison us both."
Bakura looked at him for a moment, "Do you remember what card I had out?"
he asked.
"You…you had the Change of Hart card." the spirit of the Puzzle said, still not
following.
"I planed to use her to take over the next monster you played. But you used
my weakness without even realizing it. You drew Keman, no matter what the
cost…I could never use Zeana on my Soul Brother." As he said this, a single
silver tear slid down his cheek. Ryou was going to go comfort his Yami but
someone beat him to it.
Keman.
The magician had appeared beside the spirit the moment the tear left his eye.
He looked exactly like someone comforting his younger brother.
"I am safe Soul Brother," he said, "you did not cause any harm to me."
"You…you fought my control that day," Yami said to Keman, "that's why. I
played you against your friend and forced you to destroy him. I'm sorry."
/Are you ok Yami?/ Yugi thought to his other half.
//Yes Hikari// was the answer, //but this disturbs me. I never knew that my
people lived with this threat. If I had, I would have stopped the Games long
before that.//
/I believe you./ Yugi said with all innocence.
//Thank you.//
Siren stood and walked over to the white haired boy.
"Kura, will you take me out to eat?" she asked out loud, {I haven't fed in ages}
she added silently.
Bakura laughed, "Sure, just let me change." then added {A good hunt requires
the proper clothes.} and with that he vanished upstairs.
Minutes later he reappeared in a dark blue t-shirt, black jeans and boots. They
matched Siren's skintight black leather pants and boots, dark red halter-top
and waist length leather jacket. He took hold of her hand and started towards
the door.
"Wait."
They turned to look at Yami. He had gone into full big brother mode.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
Bakura cocked an eyebrow at him; "I am taking your sister to find something
to eat." he replied.
"Then why are you dressed like you are part of a gang?" Yami accompanied
this question with a glare.
Siren stepped forward, pulling back her upper lip to show two fang-like teeth,
"As our kind say 'The Hunt is on…'" she snarled.
"'It's time to play.'" Bakura finished for her, also showing his fangs.
Yami stepped back in shock, staring at his sister.
"Lets go Siren. I'm hungry." he then turned to address the Duel Monsters,
{You'll explain this to them right?}
{Yes love.} Faith answered, {If they ask.}
The white haired boy nodded and walked out, closely followed by the
Pharaoh's little sister. The room was silent for several moments. Then Yami
opened his mouth to speak.
"What the HELL just happened here?!" Tristen yelled.
They all looked at Faith, who then looked to her fellow magicians, "Should
they know?" she asked.
Zekk nodded, bringing a sigh from the girl. "Won't they freak out? I mean,
this is not a small matter…"
"SHUT UP!!" Yami yelled, "I have two questions. One, are the Tomb
Robber and my sister…how do you say it here…are they together?"
Zekk shook his head, brushing the white strands of hair that had escaped the
ponytail out of his face, "No, Bakura is Faith's."
"And Siren?"
The purple haired teen stepped up beside his brother, "She…she's with us."
he said hesitantly.
Yami's face was becoming redder by the second,, but before he could talk, Tea
stepped forward, "What's with the fangs those two have?" she asked.
Looks of relief passed over the face of all at that point, "Ahh," Faith
commented, "an answer that wont get us all TOO brutally killed. The reason
that they have fangs is that…well…" she hesitated looking at Yami.
"Well what!?" he screamed in frustration.
"They're vampires." she said.
Silence filled the room.

Wherever Bakura and Siren are
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Two shadows flitted noiselessly through the night, two pairs of eyes peered
from the darkness. One gold, and on crimson.
"How do you think they are doing?" Siren asked.
"Well," Bakura answered, "because of the intense surprise that I'm getting off
of Ryou…I'd say that they've been told."
"I hope they won't judge to harshly." Siren said.
Bakura flashed his fangs, "They cannot harm us youngling. We can live in the
Realm of Darkness for as long as is required for them to wind down, or
longer."
{Look} Siren thought {our prey nears}
A gang was approaching, Bakura looked to his fledgling, {You know your role
don't you?}
His only response was a feral snarl as Siren stepped out of the shadows. The
boys saw her as an easy target and zeroed in on her. She slipped into an
alleyway and they followed. They grinned, thinking they had caught easy
entertainment.
{Let's show them how wrong they are, Kura} she said.
Bakura stepped behind them and cut off their escape. Siren leapt onto the one
nearest to her and latched her fangs into his neck. His three companions cried
out in shock then one was cut off as Bakura grabbed him from behind. They
were soon drained and the two vampires turned to the last ones.
"Which one do you want Kura?" Siren asked.
"I'll take this one." He answered lunging at the one nearest to him. Elated
howls filled the night as the vampires fed.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Yami was still in a stupor when the door opened and his sister walked in with
the Tomb Robber. They were laughing like old friends and it hurt to see that
he had missed so much of her life…or unlife as that case may be.
"Did you see their faces?" she was saying, "The terror as he realized he was
gonna' die!"
"And the looks when they thought that you were prey." Bakura purred.
Siren laughed then stood on tiptoe and licked a smudge of blood off his lips. A
catlike grin lit her face and she kissed him.
"You said they weren't a couple." Yami yelled accusingly to the three
magicians.
"We're not." Bakura said, "But vampires are tactile, especially with family."
Yami gaped, "Since when are you family?"
"Since he made me a vampire." Siren said.
Everyone stared at them. Siren grinned and walked towards her two
magicians and gave them both kisses, {This should be amusing} Zekk
commented without breaking the vacuum seal between them.
{I know} Siren responded while switching to Keman.
{You are a bad, bad girl!} Faith broke in.
{I've rubbed off on her} this came from Bakura.
Yami was speechless. He was gaping like a fish and appeared to be having
trouble breathing.

next chapter done! Sorry about that wait, I've had a zillion tests because my
school is tearing itself down and then rebuilding so we have a short school year
but at least 50 extra tests per class. It really sucks. Anyway…I have been
working on the other stories and they should all have additions soon. Be
patient, I'm still new to this story writing business.
