"When the Sun Sets."
Chapter 3: A Life Hangs in the Balance.
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.
I just wanted thank you guys who reviewed my story and put me on their favorite's lists… I'm really happy you guys like it! I'm on summer break now so I'll probably be writing non-stop, so expect quick updates.. But not to keep you waiting here's chapter 3…

Jounouchi visibly winched as Pegasus' brown merciless eyes mocked his own chocolate ones. "Where is my slave?" Pegasus asked lightly as he played with one of Jounouchi's fingers. Jounouchi stalled for a minute, was it really right to sacrifice another to save your life? Pegasus, impatient with Jou's lack of response, suddenly pulled back one of his fingers, an unsettling cracking sound filled the small room. Jou closed his eyes tight as a shot of pain ran through his body, tears threaten to spill from his chocolate orbs. Pegasus smirked. "Where is my slave, I won't ask twice." Jou just glared defiantly at Pegasus. "You'll have to kill me first before I tell." His voice strained, Pegasus just gave a little laugh as he bent back another one of Jou's fingers. "That can be arranged." He whispered spitefully in Jou's ear.
It was then the tears fell..
*~*~**~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Seto and Yami waited in anticipation as they waited for the sun to set. "Where do you think Jounouchi is, Yami?" Seto pondered out loud as he stared out the window, looking out to the sky. Yami, noticing the need for a response, walked over to Seto and took his hand in his. "I promise we will get Jou back." Yami stated loud and full. Trying not only to convince Seto, but as well as himself. Seto just nodded brokenly, he knew Yami and himself was fully capable of getting back Jou, but that's not what was running through the hunter's mind. What would Pegasus do to the beautiful blonde's mind was another thing. Seto remembered full and well what happened last time.
~*~*~*~*~Flashback*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Please Jou talk to me." Seto pleaded with his love as he reached for his hand. Jou just shook his head, as he retracted his hand quickly. "I can't Seto…I..I just can't." Jou explained as tears stained his handsome face. Seto wiped away tears of his own as he walked over to Jou, but for every step he took forward, Jou took one back ward. "Please koi, talk to me.." Seto persisted as he grasped Jou's hand firmly. "Don't touch me, Seto!" Jou exclaimed as he pulled back harshly, but Seto was having none of that. "I said don't fucking touch me!" Jou yelled as he slapped Seto. The chocolate eyed blonde then fled out the door, leaving a very confused Seto. "Oh, Jounouchi.. Please.. Let me help you..." Seto whispered as he fought back the tears.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The duo stayed silent after that, both of their heads filled with anticipation and worry. Yami just stayed in the living room, watching the vampire. Seto was sitting on the couch, silent as ever. They were so close in distance, but in their minds they were miles apart. As tension filled the small room it seemed like nothing could lighten up the mood that had settled on the young hunters. But unknown to them the answer was on the couch, huddled up to the wool blankets for warmth.
Yami frowned. Silence. It was one of the things he hated most. It made him feel like he was screaming and no one even cared, silence reminded him of how alone he truly was. Seto, on the other hand, was scowling the room. 'What is that noise?' He wondered as his blue eyes roamed the room. But he just gave up and went back to looking out the window. But he almost froze because he heard the sound again. "Yami did you hear that?" Seto questioned as he walked over cautiously toward the hunter. Yami just put a finger to Seto's lips as he pointed over to the couch. A rare smile graced Yami's lips as he whispered. "He's dreaming."
Seto just rolled his eyes and went back to looking out the window. Yami just smiled at his friend's antics and went back to looking at the little vampire. He was truly beautiful, and at that moment Yami concluded that he couldn't have been more stunning at that moment. His cheeks were flushed and his lips were parted slightly, his hair all tossed around from sleeping, but he still held unreal beauty. He was beautiful despite being a leech.
As Yami got up intent on getting a drink, he was prevented from doing that when he heard a little voice; he quickly turned around and met face to face with the little vampire. "Yami-chan?" Yuugi called out, rubbing his eyes. Yami just looked at the vampire and smiled sweetly. "Yes?" Yuugi just yawned. "Where am I?" Yami just chuckled as he brushed a blonde bang form Yuugi's face. "My house. " At the answer Yuugi's eyes widened. "I have to go…I have to get back to master." Yuugi then jumped up and headed for the door, but Yami stopped him by grabbing his wrist. "What's wrong, Yuugi?" The little vampire just shook his head. "Master will kill me…" Yuugi cried as tears erupted out of his eyes.
At the site Yami's heart sank. The little vampire was too beautiful and innocent too experience such pain. He sighed as he trailed a hand down the vampire's cheek; Yami was surprised when the vampire pulled away. "I'm sorry..." Yuugi said as he stared at his feet quietly. Yami just bent down to the vampire's level and brushed a hand across his cheek. The vampire just smiled and what he did next would change Yami's life..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Stop!" Jounouchi screamed as his thumb was broken. "Please stop." He yelled as blood dripped from his mouth. Pegasus smirked. "Are you ready to tell me?" Jounouchi nodded. "Yami has him, he's at his house." Pegasus then walked over to Jounouchi and licked up the blood on his cheek. "Have you ever wanted to feel real power?" Jounouchi just shuddered as Pegasus took his hand in his and licked up the blood that stayed there. Pegasus moaned at the delicious copper taste. "Have you ever wondered what it was like to be superior to everyone?" Pegasus whispered dangerously in Jou's ear. Jou just shook his head. "No.. I won't become a vampire..." Jou yelled as pulled on his chains. "I will not!" Pegasus then ripped Jou's shirt open." You don't have a choice." He whispered as he kissed the taut stomach.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Please don't let master get me…I'm so scared." The little vampire cried as he put his arms around Yami. The hunter took a step back Yuugi's actions, he had never known vampires could show such feelings of fright, or feelings at all. But even though this action was of desperation Yami smiled and hugged the vampire close. "I promise I'll never let anyone get you." The vampire just tightened his hug around the hunter as he leaned up and gave Yami a kiss on the lips. Yami just smiled and kissed back. "Um... I'm sorry to interrupt your little moment, but the sun has set and I would love to have my koi home if you don't mind..." Seto said as he loaded his gun. Crimson stained Yami's face as he got up. "Oh, yeah… Yuugi do you know where Pegasus's hideout is?" Yuugi just nodded. "It's in the old warehouse on 35th. I'm coming with you." Yami just put a hand on Yuugi's shoulder. "But you could get hurt..." Yuugi just shook his head as he smiled. "You are a very dangerous man, Yami. Pegasus has teamed up with the other vampire clans and he has cameras everywhere. But I know how to avoid them, I know shortcuts." Yami just nodded as he and Seto loaded guns and stocked ammo.
Yuugi just turned to the window and looked at the pitch black night. 'Why do I feel this way when I see Yami?' He mused; he had truly never felt this compelled to be by anyone's side. He had never felt such a feeling of belonging like he did when in Yami's arms. Unknown to Yuugi he was very much in love. Pegasus tried to shut out the emotions in the little vamp, but Yami, a simple hunter had awakened them. Yuugi may have been a vampire, but he still had his innocence. Because innocence is forever..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jounouchi moaned as Pegasus trailed his lips rather down. Pegasus looked up at Jou and smirked. Oh, how he envied the brown haired hunter, to be able to have this every night was like heaven. The blonde was a truly remarkable creature; he was beautiful in every sense of the word. Pegasus just wanted to be inside this body, he wanted to pound into the chocolate eyed blonde. He wanted to make him his forever, to have the boy crying out from under him in pleasure and pain Pegasus grinned. What a sweet image that would make.
Jounouchi, on the other hand felt dirty. He didn't deserve this, he didn't need this. He wanted Seto, he was Seto's he didn't want this mad man to touch him in the places he only allowed Seto. He didn't want to be tainted; Seto wouldn't want him if he was tainted. Jounouchi just closed his eyes tight as he felt Pegasus's cold fingers unbuttoning his pants. 'Forgive me Seto.' He thought bitterly, but instead of the blow he thought he would receive, he heard the door open and his heart literally stopped.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Jounouchi!" Seto cried as attempted to run to help his love, tears gushing down his face. Pegasus turned around and smiled as he saw Seto, Yami and Yuugi? Pegasus grinned. Now he could get back his slave. Yami jumped to the head of the group. "Let Jou go Pegasus." Yami stated as he aimed his gun. Pegasus just smirked as he ran over and grabbed Jounouchi by the neck. "No, I think I like him. Yes, I'll keep him." Seto's eyes widened as Pegasus trailed a tongue down Jounouchi's cheek. "Let him go you bastard." Seto yelled, rage taking over his senses. Pegasus just waved his finger at the hunters. "No. I'll trade for your precious puppy." Yami's eyes narrowed dangerously. "What do you want?" Pegasus laughed. "My slave… For your puppy." Yami tried to fight back his anger and rage. "We let him go, we don't have him." Yami persisted, Pegasus's grip on Jounouchi's neck tightened. "Give me more credit than that, Hanta Yami. I see him hiding behind you. Now if you don't give me want I want I'll kill Jou, or better yet make him my slave for the next hundred years."
Seto's blue eyes widened. "Yami." He said barely above a whisper. Yami just turned his head away, and looked at the little vampire. Fear ran though out his violet eyes, and a sort of trust in Yami. The tri-colored haired hunter was in quiet the predicament. Give up your friend or give up your koi? The next descion would shake Yami's world to no end…
A life hangs in the balance…
