"When the Sun Sets."

Chapter 2: In the Hands of Fate.

A/N: Just to put it into to plain words this is a vampire story. But wait don't click that back button yet, just hear me out. I love vamps especially yaoi lovin' vamps, but it seems to me that Yami-chan is always the vampire and Yuugi-chan is always the innocent bishonen is trouble. In my story I've decided to make it different…*sighs * I know I love Yami rescuing Yuugi too, but come on Yuugi can be a little evil, right? Well, he is now…

Warnings:: There is yaoi in this story and future lemons. The pairings are Yami/Yuugi, Seto/Jonouchi, Ryou/Bakura.. But Yami/Yuugi is the main pairing. Oh, yes there will be Anzu bashing in this, but I don't know if I can stand her long enough to be put in my story...

Disclaimer:: Just ask your self this question if you think I own YuGiOh.. Do Yami and Yuugi make out on television? Does Anzu die every episode? Then no, I don't own YuGiOh... Damn.

Oh, yeah before I forget I would like to thank everyone who reviewed the first chapter. It's really great that you guys liked it. But when summer *finally* comes I'll update a lot more often.. So if my updates are slow it's because of the damn geometry….. __

As the sky happily welcomed the rising of the sun, Yami and Yuugi slept peacefully on the couch, huddled up to each other for warmth. As all was well inside the cozy house there was turmoil outside. Peering into the window to the living room was a lone figure, whose shoulder length sandy blonde hair fluttered vibrantly in the wind.

His poisonous purple eyes usually calm and still were widened with disappointment as well as rage. 'How could he do this?' The figure yelled in his mind as he stared at the sleeping duo in astonishment. 'He knows every leech is nothing, but a cold hearted killer.' The figure then bowed his head in thought and frustration. 'He must be blinding you with his beauty. Or else you've turned.' The figure reasoned, his friend would never betray the hunter's code, would he? 'You better get rid of that leech, Yami. Because if you don't… I will.' The figure then left, plans set.

As Yami and Yuugi slept peacefully on the couch Seto and Jounouchi were at the kitchen table, talking about important matters. "I can't believe he's back in town." Jounouchi mumbled as he took a drink of his coffee. Seto just gave his lover wary smile. "I know puppy, but at least we can defeat him this time." Seto said trying to lighten things up, Jou was silent at the comment, as he stared into his black coffee time seemed to turn back for Jou as he recalled his last events with Pegasus.

~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~

As sunlight shined through a small hole in the dungeon wall, Jou stared at his chains in thought and resentment. Blood stained the young hunter's face as well as everywhere else. For as you can see, he was a prisoner of war. What war you ask? The war between good and evil. The war between hunters and vampires. Jou turned his head sharply upward as he heard the blood curdled screams of his fellows comrades, but only one stuck out.

'Serenity.' Jounouchi thought as he heard her screams echo through the walls. A single tear fell down the hunter's face, how could he have let this happen? As he struggled violently against his bondages he screamed. "Serenity!" But as he heard a cracking noise, he looked down as his wrist broke. He shuddered in pain and let out a tiny whimper, but no more followed. As a hunter you never let the enemy see your fear. Never.

"Jounouchi!" Serenity screamed as she was thrust into violently again, blood pooled around her. But even in this situation she looked up at her assailant in fierce defiance, but his piecing brown eyes mocked her back. As he continued his assault, he leaned down and hungrily gazed at her neck. He could take a bit, just one? His master wouldn't mind. He smirked mentally as she screamed again, this time in more pain as she felt a pang of pain in her neck.

She screamed until her throat was dry and raw and she could no more. Blood stained lips locked with her pale bruised ones in a final kiss. As her attacker felt her heart stop he got off the lithe body. As he gazed upon her broken and bleeding body, he smirked at his work.

The figure left after that, leaving Jou a crying mess. What happened to his sister? The question rang out in his mind. As many nights passed and as he slipped in and out of consciousness from the lack of food, he continued to wonder. Was she dead? But his prays and his damnation were answered a week later, he was found by Yami and Seto.

Seto just cried as he saw the condition of his lover. As he wrapped his muscular arms around Jou he was surprised as Jou pushed away. "Where's Serenity?" He asked voice, raspy from lack of liquid. Seto just kissed him on the lips as her went to go find his sister.

As he wondered though out the maze of the dungeon he finally found Yami setting on a broken chair, tears staining his face. Seto just questioned his actions and Yami just pointed to the room across the hall.

As Seto made his way to the room his stomach cramped in anticipation and fear. Yami never cried, not even when his own parents died. It just wasn't in his blood. When Seto's shaky hand felt the door knob and turned, his world was flipped up side down. At the site before him Seto had to cover his mouth to keep from throwing up. There on the bed was Serenity, even from her lack of clothes Seto could still make out here pink school uniform. She was decaying from being dead for a while.

On his way back Seto passed Yami who just was speechless as he was. As the duo made it back to Jou, Seto informed him of the news. At his answer Jounouchi shook his head in disbelief and ran to where Serenity was. At the site Jou fell to the ground and cried. His starved body wracking heavily with each sob. A part of Jounouchi died that day, along with his sister.

~~~~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~~~~~

Seto sensing Jou's feelings of discomfort, offered a comforting hand across the table, but Jou just pulled back his hand. "I'm going out." Were his simple words and he left just after that, leaving Seto stunned. But Seto knew being the way he was Jou needed to blow off some steam, so he thought nothing of it. But Seto didn't seem to notice the gun missing from the counter.

As Joc entered the streets he was happy there was still a little sunlight left. Because he could stop Pegasus in his tracks before he could even knew it. Jou then made his way to the abandon warehouse, Pegasus's favorite hiding spot.

As Jou entered the warehouse he wrinkled his nose in disgust. There on the warehouse floor for every one to see were dead bodies of what appeared to be prostitutes, Pegasus's favorite victims. They would do anything for money and didn't suspect a thing. Pegasus, being the deceptive type, gladly took advantage of their lack of suspicion. Jou shook his head sadly, such poor souls, caught in the cruel hands of fate.

When Jou reached the once office of the building he was very cautious in his movements. With his gun locked and loaded he kept sharp eyes out for Pegasus or any of his followers. As a trash can fell over Jou's heart almost stopped as he turned around quietly and fired a couple of shots. Seeing a cat run by he just shook his head and turned to go, but as he turned he came face to face with Pegasus. But before Jou knew it, his world turned black.

As Yami sat up on the couch and rubbed his eyes, he almost jumped up as he noticed another person in the 'bed'. But as last night's events registered he calmed down, and carefully got off the couch, leaving the vampire to his slumber. But before Yami made a move he stared at the little vampire that had literally fallen into his life. 'I wonder where he came from?' Yami pondered as he ran a hand over the vampire's cheek, he then pulled back his hand in astonishment. The skin was as smooth as a rose petal, and the color of ivory. Yami brushed a lightening bolt colored bang from Yuugi's face. 'So beautiful.' Yami breathed as he captured the true beauty of the child of the night.

"Yami are you awake?" Seto questioned his partner, tears threatened to spill. Yami just walked into the kitchen while stretching. "Yeah, Seto what's up…Oh what's wrong?" Yami asked as he noticed Seto's sad expression. "It's Jounouchi." Yami's eyes narrowed in frustration. 'That boy causes more trouble..' Yami's thoughts were interrupted by Seto letting out a tiny whimper. "What did he do?" Yami asked as he reached across the table for Seto's hand. "He….I'm afraid he did something stupid.." Seto trailed off again as he stared absentmindedly at his feet. "I think he went to find Pegasus himself." Yami just squeezed Seto's hand reassuringly. "We'll find him." Seto just nodded. 'I hope before Pegasus does.' Seto hoped bitterly.

Jounouchi woke up to find a copper like taste in his mouth. As he tried to bring a hand to his lips he found he couldn't. He quickly scanned his arms only to find them chained to the wall. 'What the hell?' He thought as he struggled against his bindings. As he continued to struggle a deep laugh was emitted from behind him. Jou quickly turned around only to find Pegasus standing in the wake. "I hope you find your accommodations to your standards." Pegasus taunted, Jou just glared at him.

"What did you do?" Pegasus smiled as he waved a finger in front of his face. "No, first you answer my questions, then I'll answer yours." Jou reluctantly gave a stiff nod. What could he do? " Each time you lie to me I'll break each of your fingers. And when they're all broken I'll start on your legs." Jou's eyes widened and he almost shuddered. "But what if I answer truthfully?" Pegasus just smirked as he closed his eyes. "You'll die fast." Jou just felt like crying.
