Author's note: Well, I updated a little earlier than I had planned, but all
these reviews tempted me to post the next chapter, so I am. I'm glad you
reviews like the fic so far...and only after the first chapter too ^_^. I'm
going to answer some of your questions or comments too from now on.
roses in bloom: The pairings for the fic are: Seto/Serenity, Miho/Tristan, Joey/Mai, Yugi/Sakura, Tea/Yami, Noah/Naomi, Ryou/Sapphire, Bonnie/Malik, Marik/Bastet, and Bakura/Kemsit
Maruken: I'm so happy you mentioned this about Ryou's personality. Don't worry, in all my fics, he's very sarcastic and in this fic he's got a backbone. You'll see later on just how mean he can actually be as an angel. He has his sweet moments, but I give him a very comical attitude in most of my fics. I was seriously smiling when I read your review because I had just written a very intense scene with Ryou in it, hehe.

Chapter 2
"What did you bring back, Malik?" a boy that looked very much like the tan vampire said. "She looks tasty," he added when he saw Bonnie.
"Back off, she's mine," Malik spat. "Besides, you got Bastet, Marik. Doesn't she satisfy you?"
"Not nearly as much as an angel would........"
"Shut up. Make a note to mention to Bakura that Kemsit was injured by one of the angel's Holy swords."
Marik stopped grinning and his eyes widened. "A Holy sword? Since when did they get a Holy sword?"
"Since now, I guess. All I know is that it did a real number on Kemsit."
"But why do I have to tell Bakura?"
"Cause I don't wanna be in the same room when he explodes, knowing that his dear lover was hurt in battle and I didn't help her."
Marik scoffed and left the room. Malik stared down at his prisoner. She looked beautiful, as were all the angels. So delicate and pure. But this one had a fiery attitude. Something that made him want to taste her pure and innocent angel blood. He had heard that angel blood was even sweeter than sugar.
"Why are you keeping me here?" Bonnie asked. "Aren't you gonna kill me the same way you killed Duke?"
Malik laughed coldly. "You mean that wimp of an angel? Nah, I thought I'd let ya live for a little while. To be my slave or something."
"Your slave? I would rather die."
He was at her side in less than a second. He whispered in her ear, "Be careful what you wish for. It just might happen." Bonnie gulped.
***
"What do you mean she was cut by a Holy sword?!" a boy with long, spiky white hair and narrowed brown eyes demanded. He was cradling a girl with long black hair and emerald eyes.
"I'm just telling you what Malik told me," Marik spat back. "No need to get all huffy."
"Oh yeah, well your girl doesn't even leave the castle, so you don't have to worry about HER!"
"Shut up, Bakura."
"Yeah, your whining's getting annoying," the girl mumbled. "You're worse than that angel we killed a while back."
"Kemsit, don't talk. You need medicine for that wound," Bakura said calmly.
"Oh for cryin' out loud, I'm fine."
"For once in my life, I'm gonna agree with Bakura," Marik stated. "No matter how tough you think you are, Kemsit, the power of a Holy sword can kill you if you don't treat it."
"Well thanks for the heads up," she growled.
All of a sudden, the door to Bakura's room broke down, letting in a girl that looked somewhat like Kemsit. "How is she?" she asked, kneeling down.
"Sapphire, I'm fine," Kemsit sighed.
"Your sister's been cut by a Holy sword," Bakura explained.
Sapphire's eyes widened in shock. "Those damn angels. Let me see the cut." Kemsit reluctantly showed her the wound, which was turning a nasty shade of brick red. "I'll call Ishizu in. She knows how to treat wounds like this."
"What about me?" a gentle voice said from the doorway.
"Jeez, you guys COULD knock, ya know," Bakura scoffed angrily.
"Ishizu, Kemsit was cut by a Holy sword," Sapphire said, ignoring Bakura. "We need you to help her."
The Egyptian vampire carefully looked over Kemsit's wound and frowned. "I'll see what I can do about this. Marik, where is my brother?"
"Malik brought in some new prisoner," he replied with a grin. "He didn't want me biting her. Said he might use her as a slave."
Ishizu's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Well, my DEAR brother will get a lecture he won't soon forget."
***
"Quit moving around!" Malik snapped to Bonnie. She glared up at him hatefully. Her wings were tied tightly and she felt one of them break as she struggled to get away. "Told ya to stop moving. Now your wing's broken. Ha! And they call you angels 'smart.'"
"You shut your trap!" Bonnie hissed. "You know nothing of us!"
"Oh? I don't, do I? I suppose I could always just ask you, hmm?"
"You bastard."
"Hate me all you want, angel. It'll only make me want to kill you even more."
"MALIK!!!!" a voice suddenly roared from outside his room.
"Oh damn," he muttered. "Uh, Ishizu? That you, sister?"
His door flung open to reveal his angry sister. "Yes, it's me," she spat. "Why are you taking hostages?" she asked, pointing to Bonnie.
"Hey, she tried to hit me with a sacred arrow!"
"So? Your orders were specifically to kill a human, not bring back an angel!"
"Ishizu, who cares? Won't the master be glad that we have a new torture toy?"
"I don't know anymore. Dartz has become very angry as of late, and you know why."
"His son........"
"Exactly. Seto is to inherit his father's throne when Dartz eventually goes into hibernation. But he has yet to prove to his father how he would run the castle."
"Sis, what do I do with her?" Malik said, changing the subject back to Bonnie.
Ishizu sighed heavily. "I don't care anymore. Just make sure Dartz doesn't find out."
***
"Serenity, what's wrong?" Joey asked as she flew by him angrily.
"Joey, don't bother her," Yugi said softly. "Bonnie was just taken by the vampires. She needs some time alone to think."
"Man, poor Seren. She's lost enough loved ones as it is. First Duke, now Bonnie. Wait a sec, where's Noah?"
"He's informing Pegasus about what happened," Ryou replied. "The vampires attacked us so suddenly we barely had time to react. Which is why I think us Guardian Angels need battle training."
"Battle training?" Tea repeated. "But our only job is to guard our hosts."
"And if we could fight off vampires, wouldn't we be doing our job a whole lot easier?" Ryou stated. "Besides, with Bonnie gone, there are only two Vampire Hunters left. If you ask me, Serenity and Noah could use our help."
"He's right, Tea," Yugi added. "If we could fight, we could guard our hosts a lot better."
"I guess so........But what will Seren and Noah think about it?"
"Think about what?" Noah asked, flying up to them.
"We were discussing that maybe we could get some battle training," Ryou explained. "You and Serenity need all the help you can get."
"Right now, that seems like the only logical plan. You guys can start training at any time."
"Where's my sis?" Joey asked him.
"Last I saw her, she was sitting at the top of the palace. She's really depressed. Those vampires are getting stronger and we're getting weaker."
"Maybe I should go talk wit' her."
"No offense Joey, but she needs some time alone right now."
***
I was so stupid! Serenity thought to herself. I can't believe I let myself get ambushed like that! And I allowed them to take Bonnie. Now she's probably being tortured just like Duke was........
Tears fell from her eyes. She would make those vampires pay. She would start with that brown haired boy with the blue eyes. He seemed important and she knew that if she took him out, the vampires would become restless. The girl he had been with also seemed important and she would have to kill her as well.
"Seren?" she heard Noah's voice. He hovered for a bit before he landed beside her. "I was just talking with your brother. He's really worried about you."
"I know he is," she answered. "He's always worried about me. Noah, what would you say about going after these two vampires? I think they might be the Vampire Lord's children."
"Ooh, royalty, huh? Sounds interesting. Were they the ones you and Bonnie were after?"
"Yeah, they had just finished feasting on a human."
"How pleasant."
"I think, if we killed them, we'd---"
"Piss the vampires off even more. Serenity, do you WANT them to attack us here? I mean, we don't have a lot of security. If we killed some of their friends, wouldn't they come after us and try to kill us too?"
She lowered her head. "Noah, you haven't lost anyone really close to you, like I have."
He glared at her. "I guess you forgot that Duke and I were best friends."
"Oh......I'm sorry, Noah. It's just-----"
"I know you're upset. Heck, we all are. Ryou and Yugi lost their brothers to the vampires. Remember?"
"Yeah, I remember."
"Try to keep your anger in until I speak with Pegasus about this, okay?"
"All right."
He smiled and flexed his wings. "I'll see you later." With that, he took off into the air.
Serenity sighed to herself and looked up at the sky. "Duke, I need your guidance. What should I do?"
Well.....while you ponder on what she should do....maybe you could give me a review? Please? ^_^
