Author's note: Gomen for the long wait, minna! I've been so caught up in school and other stuff (coughKhalidcough)...anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter and I have some good news. I will be posting possibly two new Yu-Gi- Oh fics soon. Okay, you can say it. I have too much time on my hands, lol. Once I get an idea, I gotta write it down before I forget. Those of you interested, I will most definitely be posting the alternate story from my series (Love Is Forever...etc.). Also...there is this slight dirty YGO fic I've been writing....basically, it has the five main guy characters as male strippers(hehe). It's better than it sounds and if anyone wants to read it, I'll see if I can post it at Media Miner.org. Anyway, in this chapter of the fic, we get a look into Ryou's somewhat dark personality. Believe me, in the next chapter, he's much worse . Enjoy!

Chapter 5
"Well that's it," Ryou growled angrily. "I'm sick of just sitting back and doing nothing. Noah and Bonnie have been taken, so Serenity is on her own now. She needs our help."
"I agree," Yugi said. "This is getting really ridiculous. These vampires don't know when to stop taking our friends."
"We should call for help from other neighboring Angel Clans," Tea stated. "They have unique powers that could really come in handy."
"I'll send a relay call to them," Ryou said. "Hopefully they'll respond quickly."
Serenity all of a sudden walked up them with her brother. "What's going on?" she asked.
"We're sending a call to any neighboring Angel Clans," Yugi explained. "We need all the help we can get."
"That's true. Let's hope they respond to our call."
"Dartz wants me to send in a scout.....I figure turning yourself over to them is a perfect chance to get information on them," he answered irritably.
"But what if they hurt me?"
"They're angels, Sapph. They don't know how to be ruthless like us. Just engage one of them in a battle and let them win."
"Fine....but if something goes wrong, it's your fault."
"Of course."Ryou was absentmindedly soaring over a neutral landscape when he spotted something black whiz by below him. He flew down to investigate and gasped in surprise. It was a vampire! He took out his bow, fixed it with an arrow, and aimed it at the unsuspecting vampire. "Prepare to die!" he called.
It turned around to face him and he faltered. It was a girl. Her sapphire blue eyes bore into his intently and he hesitated. "What's the matter, angel?" she sneered.
"Be silent! I'll kill you!"
"I don't think so." She came up to him, hovering in the air. Her grin showed him her pointed fangs. She raised her hand high in the air and called forth a swarm of bats. The biggest bat flew up to her and she whispered, "Don't be too rough with him. Let him win. I am going to let him take me hostage." The bat nodded in understanding and attacked Ryou.
He began shooting arrows at every bat he could. He flapped his wings heavily. His strength was failing him. He finally shot the last bat and watched as the vampire girl's face contorted into a frown. "I see you're more powerful than I first thought," she stated. "Aren't you going to finish me off, angel?"
"No," he said quietly. He put his bow away and grabbed her arm. "I'm taking you to the palace to answer some questions."
"Very well." She smirked to herself as he flew her to the palace."A prisoner?" Pegasus repeated. He stared intently at Ryou, whom was holding the black-haired vampire girl steadily.
"She attacked me, sir," Ryou said.
"As I recall, you aimed your bow at me first," the girl said in a bored tone.
"Silence!" Pegasus growled. "Girl, tell me where our friends are."
"My name is Sapphire, not 'girl'. And I don't have a clue as to what you're talking about."
"You lie!" Joey hissed. "You know exactly what he's talkin' about!"
Sapphire smirked once again, letting him see her deadly fangs. "Would you like to wager your life on that, blondie?" she sneered.
Joey's brown eyes flared angrily. "Calm down, Joseph," Pegasus ordered. "It appears she doesn't know what I'm asking....Ryou, take her to the prison hold."
The white-haired angel nodded his head and guided Sapphire away. "You're Bakura's brother.....aren't you?" Sapphire mumbled to Ryou as they walked.
He was silent for awhile. "He's my older brother.....what's it to you?"
"Just curious. And the tricolor haired boy....he's Yami's younger brother, isn't he?"
"Yes. Look, I know you know about what Pegasus was asking you. You're a bad liar."
"Or you're just too observant."
He narrowed his eyes. "I know when someone is lying. One of my abilities as an angel."
"Ah, well forgive me for insulting you then."
"You mock me."
"Is it that obvious?"
"Here's your cell."
Sapphire glanced inside. "Hmm.....not that much different from my home at the castle."
"Very funny. Just get in there." He shoved her inside and locked the door. "I'll be back later to give you something to eat."
"I prefer rotting flesh and blood, if you have any."
"Sorry, we're all out," he sneered sarcastically."Hey look!" Tea cried. "Something's flying towards us, and I don't think it's birds."
Everyone peered into the sky and saw four giant creatures flying towards them. Coming into view, they recognized them as angels. The leader of the group landed gracefully, folding her wings behind her back. She had long black hair that was pulled up in a pony tail and dark brown eyes. Her companions landed beside her. One was a boy with blonde hair and light blue eyes, another had red hair slicked back elegantly with silver eyes, and the last boy had long black hair tied back with two long bangs hanging in his face and dark blue eyes.
"Thank you so much for coming," Serenity said.
"No problem," the black-haired girl replied. "By the way, I'm Sakura."
"I'm Cadman," the blonde boy said with a bow.
"Jean," said the red head.
"And I am Ajax," the black-haired boy finished.
"You really don't know how happy we are to see you all," Serenity said once again.
Sakura smiled at her. "Anything to help fellow angels."
Ryou made his way down the hallway to the prison cell where Sapphire was being held. She was sitting up against a wall. "Well, look who's back," she said with a grin. "What's all the commotion about out there?"
"Some angels from a neighboring clan have arrived," he answered. "I brought you some food."
"Neighboring clan?" she repeated as she made a disgusted face looking at the food. "What do you need them for?"
"To help use fight the vampires."
"I see."
Ryou stared at her for a long time. "Why did you let me take you hostage?" he suddenly asked.
"Wha???" Sapphire said, completely caught off guard. How does he know?! she thought. "W-What makes you think I WANTED you to take me hostage?"
"Because you didn't put up much of a fight.....and also because I heard you whispering to your little bat friends that you didn't want them to hurt me too much because you were going to give yourself over to me anyway."
Sapphire stared openmouthed at him. She then grinned to herself. "Well, you're a very clever angel....eh...."
"My name's Ryou."
"Riiiight. Anyway, as I said, you're quite clever, Ryou."
"Or you're just oblivious that others can hear you when you attempt to form a strategy."
"You looking for a death wish, angel?"
"Not really. But as I see it, I am your captor and YOU are my prisoner. It wouldn't be wise to cross me."
"And what're you gonna do? Hit me with your wings?" she laughed.
Ryou narrowed his eyes, making him look a lot like Bakura in Sapphire's eyes. "Don't mock me, vampire."
"Ooh....I'm so scared."
His eyes narrowed to slits, and for a moment, Sapphire was frozen in shock. Never had she seen an angel look so threatening. Ryou could pass as an angel version of his brother, with his death glare he was now giving her. "You're lucky I'm being lenient with you, vampire," he snarled. "Others may think I'm a pushover, but I warn you, I am far from it."
"By that vein nearly popping on your forehead, I'll have to agree," Sapphire smirked. Perhaps she could use him to her advantage. He seemed not the type to be an angel, but a vampire instead. Maybe she could persuade him to switch sides.....
"I'd forget about whatever you're planning," Ryou said without looking at her. "I know that smirk. It means you're scheming something."
"I—you—ooh, you are too clever for your own good."
He turned to her and flashed her a devilish smile. "You'd be surprised," he said. "I'll be back later." With that, he flexed his wings and glided down the hallway away from her cell.
"Well this is just great," Sapphire mumbled. "Yami told me the angels were weak.....my captor is anything but. If I tried to relay a call or escape....he would kill me, no doubt about that. Ugh, this is all Yami's fault. I hope he rots in hell for putting me through this."
Sweet girl, isn't she? lol. See that button? Could u please review for me??? It's my b-day this week and it'd be nice to get some early birthday presents.
