Night.
Four beings shrouded in shadow all made their way to a desolate street near the outskirts of the city. One of them was the vampire that attempted to kill Yugi, and the other three were unidentified, for the moment. The streetlamp's bulbs had long burnt out, and the buildings had crumbled and collapsed. It hadn't been like this a few weeks ago. It was all the work of evil.
The four of them stood in a perfect circle, staring into the darkness of their comrade's cloaks. Glowing eyes, one pair red and the others golden, provided the only available light. They all greeted each other with gentle yet fierce growls.
"So, you all feel Him too," said the one with the red eyes.
The other three nodded.
"Has He returned yet?"
"No. But we won't have to wait much longer. Even as we speak, He is selecting a host body for his spirit. I believe you all know who He will choose."
"Of course, isn't it obvious? Osiris seeks revenge, so there is only one who will suit Him."
"That isn't necessarily true. He could decide on anyone."
"Fool! I know who He will choose for his host!"
"Enough!" the red eyes said. "We must not make His decisions for Him. That could result in death, and you all know it."
"Then what shall we do in the meanwhile, Runihura?"
Runihura lowered his hood. "We will feast tonight, Khentimentiu; there are many foolish humans wondering about in the night, oblivious to the danger surrounding them." He blinked his vortex-like red eyes as the wind blew through his cedar colored hair.
Khentimentiu turned to the other two, a fanged grin on his face. "Khalid, Anubis, can you taste it? Blood…"
Khalid smiled so widely, it almost looked ridiculous. Anubis just closed his eyes.
"We have to be careful. The humans are beginning to become suspicious. There are not many out tonight; I cannot feel their auras easily," Anubis said softly.
"That's all right," Khalid said, "finding them is the best part of the hunt. And afterward, causing them to faint from fear…their screams echoing through the night…music to my ears."
"I agree with Khalid," Khentimentiu responded.
Runihura listened to the yellow eyes' ongoing conversation. They had grown restless over the years, and their lust for blood had grown even greater. That would be essential if they were to get the most out of their revenge.
Every second that passed, Runihura could feel his Master becoming stronger, and yet weaker at the same time. If He did not find a host soon, his spirit would disappear, and their hope to destroy all those who opposed them would diminish until it no longer existed in their hearts. That was not something Runihura was willing to let go.
"Are you coming, Runihura?" Khentimentiu called from over his shoulder. They had already begun to leave to find their first victims in many millennia. "We are growing restless, and not to mention hungry."
"Yes, I am coming. Go on."
Author's Note: Yeah, I know, kind of boring, but I'm suffering from writer's block and was trying to get rid of it! There is some secret behind this, three actually. Three of the vampires are people Yugi knows, but I'm not telling who! Can you figure it out? And please, I beg you, send me an idea for the next chapter! CURSE YOU WRITER'S BLOCK!
