Yugi stared straight. He saw her, Risika. It was only a silhouette image, the outline was very descriptive, but the inside was dark and unclear from his view. She was just standing there, was she looking at Yugi too? Was she waiting for him to make the first move? Or was it something else?

Yugi closed his eyes for a moment he was still tired.

XxPartner, wake up. We must keep an eye out on Risika. She might attack.xX

0o0You take over. I'm tired...0o0

XxYugi, don't be lazy wake up!xX

Yugi had awoken again. He growled a bit and saw a blurry image of Risika. Still standing there but this time she seemed closer. Yugi rubbed his eyes for another second. Then he heard breathing behind him.

"Heh heh heh, oh little Yugi..." It was Aubrey; he had taken out his knife.

"Aubrey..." Yugi whispered very wearily.

"Would you like me to kill you now quickly," He said then wrapped himself around Yugis' neck with his knife, "or would you like to have a nice, slow death?"

"I would rather not to choose," He said. But it was actually his dark side. The name Yugi had been calling his darkness for sometime now.

"Well, that is good, I will get to choose." Aubrey whispered in Yugis' alter egos' ear and licked his lips.

"Not really," Yugis' alter ego answered and saw a flaming candle from last night. He tried to reach it with his foot, very slowly, but the blade would seem to get closer to his neck. Aubrey held tighter.

"This is a fun game for you is it not Yugi? I hear you like games, very much." He snarled pulling his alter ego back and putting the knife even closer.

Yugis' darkness was able to reach for the candle and managed to get it off the shoji table. It lay slanted. All he needed to do was wait for it to reach him.

"I am not Yugi, I am the Darkness. You will repay with all you have done to my friends. I want you and Risika to play a game with me. If you win you can choose whatever you want for your prize. If I win...I get to play a penalty game with you." He smiled.

"More games!" Aubrey exclaimed. "Fine then," He let go of the Darkness and called out to Risika.

"I have got everything set, we will play Rock-Paper-Scissors to see who will go first," the Darkness snickered. Little did they know he was the King of Games.

"I always win at Rock-Paper-Scissors, lets do this," Risika gloated.

They moved their hands 3 times it was a 3 out of 3 game. The first time Risika got rock, Aubrey had scissors, and the Darkness had rock. The 2nd time Aubrey had paper, Risika had Rock, and the Darkness had scissors. Then it was the last game. Slowly, the Darkness paid much attention to his opponents' moves in the past. Risika chose rock twice he was at a tie. Aubrey chose scissors and paper he had won against him. Then...there it was the last move. The Darkness' hand became flat for paper. Then Aubrey chose scissors, again. Risika had rock.

"I win, now...what do I do?" He said with his head on his hands.

"See this candle, it is laying on its side correct? Well, we have to find away to pick it up with things around you except the players. Then we have this bottle of poisons that will make even the most immortal sleep forever. Which means, the longer you take to pick up the candle the more pressure will be inside this bottle to make it explode. Do you understand? The last person standing whenever this bottle explodes after ones' fault. Is the winner...So lets play the game," The Darkness explained.

"Sounds simple," Aubrey said. 'I'll just cheat by using my magic powers. Then I will be the most superior vampire. There will be no more Risika and this so-called Dark Yugi.'

"Are you going to start little Aubrey?" Risika taunted.

"I will now," Aubrey saw a string, he groped for it and then he tied it around the handle of the candle and moved it closer to the bottle.

"Now it is Risikas' turn." The Darkness pointed.

Risika was a good strategist. So she sat for a while. She took the string around the handle, tied it on the wax. Lifted it up, tied the other end of the string around the bottle lifted that up also, "I am finished."

It was the Darkness' turn. He found a cork opener. Tied it to a thread spool he found in the hallway and used it as a pulley, Dark Yugi took the candles' string, unwrapped it, wound a small loop to the candle, then attached the rest of the string to the spool he found on the other side. He pulled the candles' side a bit, went around, pulled the spool attached to the bottle cork a bit. Took a cloth and put it around his face so he was able to breathe. The two objects were about to intersect. Then the Darkness yanked thespool. The cork opened up the candle went inside the bottle; the bottle began to smoke up. Then the bottle had exploded. A jsmoke of poison came out. He whispered 'penalty game' the Darkness escaped, closed the door and ran off.

XxI think I win; they cannot win to my penalty games.xX

0o0Thank you my Darkness.0o0

XxIt is okay now Partner. Everything will be fine.xX

Yugi and his Darkness might have thought that Risika and Aubrey would be gone and over with. But nothing goes by that easy. Risika and Aubrey decided to make a team. Risika carried Aubrey in her hawk form and flew towards Yugi.

"Do not think that you can get away from us that easy. We are over the top of immortal." Aubrey said.

"I can see that now, but how did you manage to escape so quickly?" The Darkness asked.

"We are master magicians, we have powers from far back before your time. If you knew anything." Risika said touching her hair.

0o0How do we defeat master magicians?0o0

XxI do not know. I only wish that I could remember what had happened in the past of long ago that my parents had told me. There is still so much that I do not know about my Pharaoh life, like my parents' stories...xX

0o0I want to go home...0o0

XxBut we cannot go home. We do not have Jonouchi with us; remember he has the tickets to get us back. And we have no chance of going to visit them now. We are surrounded. If we go there, when we think no one is around. They will appear. Remember what Aubrey said?xX

0o0Yes, I do now. I understand what you mean now. If I am correct you are saying that if we go and visit Jonouchi, Honda and Anzu, that they will follow. They might kill them while they are there, permanently?0o0

XxThat is correct, Partner.xX

0o0Yes, my Darkness, do what you may need to do.0o0

Then the Darkness chuckled at how foolish the vampires were. He had an idea of how to defeat them. Or at least make them leave him and his friends alone.

"Why are you chuckling?" Risika said worriedly.
