Yugi: Well we still have a problem with Zypher not showing up but even if she's not here she still would write the chapters. How she does that would be beyond me.
Ryou: Yeah, so here's the next… -got grabbed by Bakura and taken into another room-
Yugi: -sweat-drop- Well like Ryou was saying here's the next chapter to Demons of the Darkness.

After school, Yugi and his friends walked out, glad that it's the weekend when Anzu strode up in front of them, her preppy friends standing behind her. "What do you want this time?" Diamond demanded. "Thanks to Yugi, I wasn't able to find the new kid at all today! If I ever see you around the new student next week I'll..." She once again wasn't able to finish as a girl that Yugi or his friends never seen before jumped down from out of nowhere, scaring the life out of Anzu and she backed away.
She was a girl of sixteen, that much Yugi noticed along with the fact she was like Diamond except she was a snow leopard. "Anzu. So you're the girl I've been hearing about lately." The girl spoke as Anzu regain her composure and glared at the girl.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Mara and that's all you need to know. Now what I want to know is why do you mess with Yugi all the time? I know about the new student and if he wants to be friends with Yugi, then he can. Besides, why would he want to be around you anyway? You look terrible, I see that your grades are slipping when I go to the office to help out and your perfume can make anyone gag." Mara listed off, causing any other students that happened to see them laugh at Anzu's humility. Anzu blushed in anger. Diamond laughed and gave Mara a high five. "Nice job on the humiliation, Mara!" she exclaimed and she smiled. "Hey, no problem. You got to love the advantages you can get when working as an assistant here."
"You won't get away with this!" Anzu hissed and ran at Mara but she backed away again, screaming out as she was clawed on her arms and face. "Try that again and you will become my personal scratching post." Mara growled. Anzu looked to them again before she glared at Yugi and her friends moved to take her to the hospital. Mara turned back to the other as the students started to leave, getting a good laugh from Anzu's humiliation. "Are you alright, Yugi?" Mara asked as she knelt down beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm fine, she always has a tendency to mess with me every chance she gets but my friends always back me up." Yugi answered, smiling. "Do you count me as a friend?" Mara asked once more. "Of course! Ya done some major humiliation ta Anzu! That should take her down a few pegs by next week." Jounouchi exclaimed happily. She smiled and rustled Yugi's hair a bit before she stood. "Well, I need to get back to the office to lock up. Stay cool, Yugi, and if you need any help, I'm sure others will come and help you." Mara spoke, leaving to go back into the school. "Well, what a nice way to start the weekend. How about we go celebrate Anzu's humiliation at the arcade?" Kaiser suggested and they nodded and headed off, never knowing that Yami and Aqua were watching from the roof.
"So, this is where you two have been hiding." A voice spoke and Yami turned to see two more hybrids. One was a female black phoenix/human hybrid that was very good friends with Aqua. Her name was Shadow and just like him, she doesn't like Anzu at all and would do anything to make sure that Yugi was alright until Yami and Aqua become his partners.
The other was a red dragon hybrid who was almost the same height as Jounouchi with lengthy brown hair containing red streaks and brown eyes. She had a pair of magma red wings and wore a slight punk/goth outfit with a black jacket, leather pants and black boots. She also wore a red silk shirt all hiding the human form that concealed her true form. "Yeah, at least Mara was there to take care of Anzu for the time being." Yami replied.
Aqua turned around as well to lean on the gate. "Yami, how long do we have to wait? I hate being away from Yugi for so long and I know you are as well." he whispered. "I know but I don't want to tell him my feelings just yet. First, I want to take care of Anzu before the Blood Moon rises next week. By then we'll have Yugi and have him writhing and begging for his well-deserved euphoria." Yami purred huskily.
"Now don't go all perverted on me, Yami. We'll keep an eye out for Anzu so she wouldn't try to hurt Yugi. she will be having to go back to the hospital in a while anyway once Sarah makes her way there." Keara spoke with a chuckle. Yami smiled. "Good. We're going to head over to the arcade so we can watch Yugi. Do you two want to come?"
"Hey, we would love any chance to see cute little Yugi. We did say we would always keep an eye on him for you. Right, Shadow?" she questioned, looking to the other hybrid and Shadow nodded. "Let's get going then." Aqua spoke, unfurling his wings and flew off. Yami shifted into his half demon form and flew off as well, Keara and Shadow following from behind.

After getting her wounds wrapped, Anzu left out from the hospital with her friend trailing behind her. "I can't believe that little brat! He always has some sort of friend to protect him! This time, he took it too far!" she hissed. Her friend, Teresa, looked to her. "Well, if you want to get revenge, let's head to the arcade. You know him and his pathetic friends will be hanging out there by now." she suggested.
"Good idea. I will make him pay for crossing me."
"Not unless someone else stop you again." A voice snapped and they stopped. "What now?!" Anzu exclaimed and a 21-year-old girl came out from the nearby alley and stood in front of her. "Well, if it isn't the friendship ranter. I thought you would never show your face again after the humiliation at school." The girl murmured. "Who are you and how do you know about that?" she demanded. "Sheesh, anyone can hear you grating voice from a mile away. You might be able to wake up the dead with that voice. And I'm Sarah." She introduced and Anzu's friends started to snicker a bit and she turned to them and shut them up right away.
"Well, Sarah, I don't care how you heard about that but move out my way. I got somewhere to go." Anzu groused but she didn't move. "Sorry, but it's direct commands from Shadow who happens to know Aqua. Everyone knows that you try to humiliate Yugi but it never turns out the way you planned it for his friends protect him," she said and walked over to her.
Anzu didn't notice the quick fist coming straight at her face until she felt an exploding pain from her jaw which felt like it was broken under the force and she fell back hard on the ground, her friends not planning to help her up. "Unlike your so-called friends. They wouldn't even help you up." She turned to look at the girls. "Tell me, would you rather hang out with this pathetic piece of trash or be around some real friends?" Sarah asked and they thought about it.
"I rather be around some real friends. Anzu has been treating us like were nothing." Teresa spoke out. They nodded and Sarah smiled. "Well, come on. Be friends with little Yugi. Maybe you may just get the chance to see the new student if you're around him." Sarah suggested and they giggled. "Well, I need to get going. Have things to do." They nodded and left to head home. She turned back to Anzu. "And I hope you live a life filled with pain, Anzu Mazaki." She spat before she turned away and left as well. Anzu continued to lay there, not able to get back up until someone saw her and took her to the hospital once again. 'Yugi will pay!' she thought. 'I will make sure of that!'

At the arcade, Yugi was having fun as usual, dueling anybody that challenged him and played some two player games with his friends. What he didn't notice was that Yami was watching him the whole time. He couldn't help but smile at how cute Yugi looked. 'Soon, Yugi. Soon.' Yami thought.
"Are you planning on staying here all day, Yami?" Keara asked as she walked over to him and sat down in another chair. "No. I don't know what I will do if I stay too close to him." he replied. She laughed softly. "Fine, be that way but I know you do this for a reason." She stood up once more and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Well, I'm going to meet up with him. Maybe tonight I'll watch over him for you." Yami nodded and smiled up to her.
"That would be great. Me and Aqua have some things to do before the Blood Moon shows up next week. We're planning to make this perfect for him so he can accept what he'll soon become to us." Yami said. "Well, I wish you two the best of luck next week then." Keara spoke as she left to meet up with Yugi. 'Yes, were planning to have lots of luck next week.' he thought before he called for Aqua and they left silently.
Yugi looked up when he felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned to see a girl he never seen before. "Hello. Are you Yugi?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah, that's me." he replied, smiling softly. "Oh, you are just too cute, you know." Keara gushed. "I know, everyone always says that. I think it because I look so much like a little kid." Yugi said sheepishly. Diamond walked over when she saw Keara. "Hi. I see you've met Yugi." she said.
"Yeah, I couldn't help but come over when I saw him." Keara said. "So, what's your name?"
"I'm Keara. I came here with my friends but two of them left already. My friend Shadow is around here somewhere but you might not see her right now." Diamond nodded. "So, would you like to play some games with us?"
"Sure, it will give me something to do." Keara spoke and they left to go play a few games together, already enjoying having another friend to join their group. Anzu stood in front of the arcade, soaking wet cause it happened to start raining hard. She walked inside and spotted Yugi immediately from the crowd of teens and children crowding the arcade. She started to head over to where he was and Keara looked up when she heard her coming. "Oh look, if it isn't Mazaki. What do we owe the pleasure of seeing you today?" Keara asked haughtily.
"Yugi, you have put me through a lot today and since I don't feel like getting dragged back to the hospital for something stupid for disturbing even a strand of your hair, I'm leaving you with a warning. If I see you ever again in my presence, you will be put through pain thrice fold than what I've dealt with today and you will be looking the same as me if not worse." Anzu snapped.
"Oh yeah? Then what would Yami think if he ever finds out?" Keara questioned. Anzu's eyes widened. "What do you mean?" Keara snorted. "What I mean is that Yami and Aqua already consider Yugi a close friend. If they know you hurt him, boy you will get your ass kicked to kingdom come and back." she explained. "That's not true!" she growled, not believing Keara. "Well fine. Don't believe me. But when something does happen, don't go blaming it on me for trying to give you a harmless warning." Keara murmured before she looked to Yugi. "How about we get you home, it's raining outside."
"Alright." he answered and he called for his friend to tell him he was going to head home and they nodded and waved to him once he left with Keara. Anzu growled and left to head home as well, still not believing Keara but she will regret it tonight once Shadow shows up around her house to give her some very bad nightmares.

Once they reached the game shop, Yugi let Keara in and, since his grandfather was gone for the month, he let her stay over which she was happy for. She was going to stay true to her word and keep an eye over Yugi and with a little help from the gods of Norrath, he would be well protected. "Well, Keara, I'm going to bed. There's a spare room next to mine. It has a poster of the Dark Magician on the door so you know." Yugi said and she nodded. "Sure. Good night, Yugi." Keara whispered and he left to go up to his room. She brought out two stones from her pocket and summoned Innoruuk and Cazic Thule.
"Innoruuk, Cazic. I want you to watch the house tonight. If anyone tries to make a grab for Yugi, you know what to do." Both nodded and went to take posts at the front and back of the house, using the element of shadows to conceal them. She left to head up to her room and sat on the made bed just in case any guests were to come over for the night and she slipped off her boots and jacket. 'Don't worry, Yugi, me and my friends will protect you until you are ready for Yami and Aqua. They have been waiting centuries for you.' Keara thought as she lied down and went to sleep.
