KITG: Sorry for the wait. Here the next chapter for you. For those of you who are following my other stories. I will be completing this Yugioh story before I finish the others. I have too many stories on the go. Getting hard to think up diff scenarios. Though knowing me I will get attacked at 3 in the morning with an idea for another chapter for another story…rather like I am now.

Yami: yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of running back and forth. Changing from Vampire suit, to pirate suit.

Yugi: yeah KITG, last night Yami came home half pirate, half vampire.

KITG: bet that was interesting.

Yugi: oh yeah. It was great, Yami nibbling my neck. Then he went "Yargh"

KITG: (hand over mouth, muffled) Hehehehehehehehehe

Yugi:KITG that's not funny.

KITG:yes I could see how that might ruin the moment…yarg……hahahahahahah

Yugi: KITG! (Low warning tone)

KITG/ whoever else wants to join in: YARG…HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.

CHAPTER…..OH I FORGET….NEVRMIND.

Sound and feeling slowly came back to Yami. He groaned as he rose to a sitting position. His internal clock told him it was morning. But thankfully, wherever he was the place was hidden from Ra's light. He tried to stand so he could look about, but found he was chained. It was then that lights were turned on. He found himself. I a giant room, Black marble, intersected with silver veins surrounded him. Here and there were various statues, some to the old Gods. Others show the symbol of the vampire hunters on the plinth on which they stood. To be true, he recognized some of them. Old hunters. He smiled. He only remembered them because they had died by his hands. He looked up as the sound of steps reached his ears.

"Oh Atemu. What has become of you, you never would have been this easy to capture in the old times" a female voice, laced with sinister intent.

"Ruia" Yami snarled.

" Now, now my love is that anyway to greet your wife?" she purred, kneeling just out of the ranged of his chains.

"Wife? You betrayer. You don't know the meaning of the word."

" Well. What's in a word? Oh. Were is the millennium puzzle?" tat the last of the sentence she turned her head to regard him, cold malice and lust for power behind them. Was this the one he had truly loved all those years ago? How could he have been so blind?

" Hahaha. You really think I am going to tell you where it is? Though one thing has always puzzled me. Why did you place it in the box? Why didn't you keep it?"

" I placed it into the box to keep the court happy. I had intended to rebuild it after when they had forgotten about it. In that time I amused myself with Galen. But that traitor, he took the box. Hid it in a place I could not find. It was as if Ra himself was protecting it. Galen, though every torture I could dream up, would never tell me. I brought his wife and child to life again and again, made him feel pain. But he would never utter its resting place." She said in an of handed manner, as if commenting on the weather.

"How dare you call him traitor, he is one of my most loyal. You know nothing." Yami spat on the floor in front of her, is crimson eyes now taking on the hue of blood in his outrage against her. But she just smiled.

"Well. No matter, I no longer care for that little trinket. I asked out of interest. I always wondered where he had hidden it. But now, now I don't need it. On this night. The night of Anubis. I can open the gateway. And with the sacrifice of the sun of Ra. All the power of this world will be mine. And Egypt shall live again. Hahahahahah"

Yami looked on in horror. How could she do this? He had to stop her…but how.

"Oh Ra guide me"

"I would rather die"

"Then live no more."

They had looked all over, but hey could find no trace of Yami. And they could not linger. If the cops found them, and with dawn soon approaching, they had no choice but to return home. Yugi was frantic. He did not want to leave, nearly screaming at them that they needed to find Yami. In the end Galen had picked him up like a child. Telling him to hush, swearing that he would find Yami. But they needed to return home, so they could. Yugi quieted, trusting Galen as he trusted Yami himself. Once they had returned, Galen had placed Yugi on the floor, eyes set in cold steel as he turned to Seirei.

"Seirei. Go now. In your spirit for and find him. I know you can" voice commanding like the guard he used to be long ago.

"Yes Galen. I will not fail you." Galen walked forward, hand stroking her cheek a moment. Then nodded. She lay upon a couch nearby and became still. Then a mist like form left her and flew from sight.

"Now as for you." He now turned to Yugi who was swaying on his feet. You need blood." He sat Yugi down at the table. Then went to get them all some blood. When he returned, he had also brought Jou some food; he was sat beside Yugi, trying to calm him down, for he had begun to cry. Galen placed the silver chalice before Yugi the crouched before him

" Now what did I tell you. Were going to find him"

"But..But what if Ruia has already killed him?" he blurted out his fear in-between sobs.

"What does your heart tell you?" Galen placed his hand over Yugi's heart. Yugi looked at it, then at the medallion he now wore, a gift from Galen. He felt heat, warmth, and love. And a truth he could not deny. That Yami lived.

"That he's still alive" Galen raised he other hand to his heart.

" As do I. Now we must wait until Seirei returns, then we will plan our attack." Seto nodded in agreement. This would be Ruia's Reckoning.

It took several hours for Seirei to return, but as always Galen could tell when she was returning, and as she opened her eyes. She was greeted by Galen, chalice of blood in hand.

"Hey" Her voice crocked, her throat dry. He handed her the chalice.

"Hey yourself" she looked round the room to see Seto, Jou and Yugi asleep. She smiled seeing Jou in Seto's arms, in a possessive embrace. She returned he gaze back to Galen. It was not unusual to find Galen awake during the morning.

"Where is he then?"

"It is as you feared, he is with Ruia. She plans to sacrifice him this night, to open some sort of portal or gate." When they heard the gasp behind them, the both turned to see Seto sitting ridged, a look of horror on his face.

"The Gate of Anubis"

"That was it."

"What is it Seto?" Galen asked

"If she opens that and sacrifices Yami, then she will gain unimaginable power. We must act."

"Yes, but we need a plan first. Seirei, you are going to have to be our eyes, tell us all you saw. How many hunters. Everything."

She told them everything in graphic detail, the layout of the guards, everything. They tried to think of the best way to get Yami and stop this. It was decided they would shadow in, when darkness fell they would not have to deal with all the hunters. So the plan was go straight to the top. Then deal with the hunters after they dealt with Ruia.

"Yugi, stay close to me and Galen" Yugi nodded Galen raised his hand and called the shadows. And they started to pass though. Just before Yugi stepped through, he looked to the Millennium puzzle about his neck….

They emerged in a room made of black marble, at the end was a large bay window Yami was chained to one side, Ruia was chanting ancient Egypt calling on the gate to open. Beside her was Pegasus. All drew their blades, ready to fight.

"Ruia, your day has come" Seto shouted but as he finished a flash of lighting rent the sky in two, she laughed high pitch as the wind picked up to a deafening howl.

"TOO LATE FOOLS THE GATE IS OPEN."

"Seirei, hold the door, me and Galen will handle these two, Yugi, go and free Yami"

"And what makes you think I will let you do that?" Ruia moved with speed greater than they could ever imagine, slamming Seto against the wall, but she hadn't even touched him. Her sword clashed with Galen's sparks flew, then the Spirit dragons came forth, protecting him from the attack the Pegasus was trying from behind. He was thrown back with a c, he ten decided to fight Seto. They cashed also. Each pair dancing around the other, a dance that could only lead to death. Galen was fighting a losing battle and he knew it, she was playing with him.

" The gate is giving her power." Seto shouted over to him. He cried out at the pain. She had cut him across the stomach.

"I grow tired of this" in an instant, Seto found himself bound to a wall, though no bonds could be seen. Then Ruia moved in a blur, Galen screamed, when she stopped he was on his knees, blood pooling about him, so many cuts upon him, it was hard to tell where it all joined. And Ruia just laughed.

"Don't think I have forgotten about you little one." She sent power Yugi's way, but with the help of the millennium puzzle, he dodge it, in doing so he had flown out of the window. Yami watched in wide-eyed horror as she sent a second blast, he didn't escaped it this time. Yugi screamed as his right wing broke. And he plummeted into the abyss of the Anubis gate, Yami's scream following him, and a flash of silver fire……

KITG: hum there you go. And I think Children of the night is drawing to a close. Though I might write a follow on, if you all would like. I think there will be two more chapters after this one, maybe three. Right take care all of you.
