"Yugi, time for dinner." Sugoroku Motou opened the door to Yugi's room, only to find his grandson bent over his desk, obsessing over a pile of small golden puzzle pieces. Sugoroku stifled an urge to laugh. His grandson had been literally attached to the item ever since he had given it to Yugi after Sugoroku had found it in a digging site in Romania.
"Yugi, you've already spent six hours today on the thing. I think it's time for you to eat something." Sugoroku sighed; Yugi did not have much to do besides trying to solve the puzzle actually, only one other kid his age, a nice boy by the name of Ryou, dwelt at this Romanian dig. Unfortunately Ryou meanwhile was at a campsite further northward, leaving Yugi with no one to confide with.
"Yeh, sure. Just a few more minutes, Grandpa. I think I've almost finished with the puzzle." Sugoroku sighed again, nodded, and left the room. He then went to his rocking chair, and started reflecting; wondering what was in store for his young grandson.
Yugi was quite small for his age, but nonetheless brave in spirit. Sugoroku believed however Yugi was too superstitious, as he believed that if Yugi managed to solve the riddle of the puzzle, he would unlock something vast and powerful. Heck, these crazy folklore and legends had even affected the leader of the dig. He had even hired two bodyguards who were "trained" in fighting those imaginary blasted creatures, named Jounouchi and Malik. Though Sugoroku had nothing against the pair, he believed they had no reason to be around the campsite. No one but old fogeys should actually believe in those old folklore.
They did have a special fondness for Yugi however, playing Duel Monsters or sports with him every time they got the chance. Yugi was like that, his kindness and generosity made it so easy for him to make friends. How could you resist those amethyst eyes?
Besides his sweet and loving personality, Yugi was also multi-talented. He possessed an extremely sharp wit, as well as fast reflexes. Yugi had experience as well with weaponry, he was well-versed in the art of guns and swords. You probably wouldn't expect that from a five-foot-and-a-half kid, minus the hair. When in his fighting mood, Yugi erased every sweet and loving motion from his movements and became mister tough-guy.
Currently both of them were in the deepest regions of Romania, on an archeological dig. The leader of the dig, a young man, by the name of Honda, had wanted them to explore the region, taking note of any artifacts that could be found. Why did he have to be in this region? He could've been in Egypt studying hieroglyphics and traveling among pyramids, along with the rest of his colleagues................. Wait a minute, Yugi still hadn't eaten dinner. At least Yugi's almost finished the puzzle, I'll be glad when all the nonsense is over with.
Sugoroku got up, and started walking again slowly toward their trailer. Opening Yugi's door, Sugoroku was met by a shout of "Yes, I finished it!"
Yugi was dancing around, holding a complete puzzle up in the air............. totally oblivious to the fact that the puzzle was turning a darker color, and mists were starting to emit from it. In instinct, Sugoroku grabbed Yugi, and ran out the trailer door. As Sugoroku jumped upon the ground, an explosion rocketed the trailer, shattering windows and objects alike. Fire spewed forth from the windows, burning several plants on the windowsill to a crisp.
Any mystical being within a thousand miles felt the sudden surge of energy come from the puzzle, whether it was the grizzled, white-haired vampire along the Grecian coast, the cobalt-eyed vampire with a freezing personality in nearby Bulgaria, to the clan of vampires who lived near the campsite. Many vampires recognized those energies, instilling fear into their hearts. If Yugi or Sugoroku had looked up, they would have seen two dark shadow-like mists coming out of the trailer, and then dispersing in the air. Sugoroku laid upon the ground, dazed, while Yugi jumped back onto his feet.
Yugi slowly crept to a window, and looked inside his bedroom. Inside........ was the puzzle perfectly intact, not a bit of damage had been done to it. The item's golden radiance glimmered against Yugi's bright eyes; it had not been harmed to the least bit. Yugi's room unfortunately was not nearly in the same shape as the object it contained. The walls had been burnt to splinters; the ceiling was blown off its foundations, as well as most of the floor. Shards of glass were everywhere; raging fires started burning away at the trailer interior.
Running towards the distraught pair was several of their fellow archeologists, come to investigate the explosion. "What happened here?" Honda inquired. "Yugi, Sugoroku, are you okay?"
Sugoroku was furious. "Do you know how much this is going to cost me in insurance costs? Yugi, you just blew up our trailer! Now that........" A wailing shriek rang through the air, causing Sugoroku to stop his monologue and look up. Five humanlike figures in the air were flying straight toward the campsite.
Honda's face turned white. "Take cover! Vampires!" Archeologists fled which and every way, some seeking shelter, weapons, or just plain anywhere to hide. The screeches grew in intensity as the creatures neared.
Yugi ran to a storage box, opening it and started sorting through assorted weaponry. "Vampires, what weapons kill vampires." Yugi muttered softly, while taking out two automatic handguns and tossing a rifle to Sugoroku. "Hope these vampires like eating silver."
"Take them down! Now! Fire!" yelled Honda. Bullets ripped through the air towards the incoming creatures. Several vampires dove right towards the spray of bullets, engaging the humans in combat.
Jounouchi and Malik were rushing to the main campsite, all the while hearing the deafening shrieks of the vampires. "Now, whose idea was it to go swimming? We could be fighting vamps by now, instead of running toward said vamps," Malik snarled.
"Well at least the vampires have no sense at all of common ambush, so we don't have to look for them," Jounouchi countered. "Besides, who knew that you looked so good naked.
Malik blushed madly and got ready to throttle his friend, but suddenly stopped right in his tracks. "Umm.. Jou. Rethink that first thought." Two vampires had flown down right before the two warriors, looking quite dangerous and deadly.
"Damn this." Jounouchi took out a pistol and fired it, causing a billowing flame of fire toward the vampires. One of the vampires immediately shape-shifted into a giant wolf; while the other took flight. Jou's attack went harmlessly past the two vampires.
Malik, wielding two wooden stakes, charged the wolf, whom then morphed back into a normal vampire. "You know. That's really disgusting when you do that," Malik commented. Jou meanwhile took out a silver dagger, while fingering something in his pocket.
The airborne vampire flew toward Jou, its fangs dripping with anticipation as it gazed upon Jounouchi's slender neck. Jou tossed the dagger at the incomer, which the vampire easily dodged, and kept on nearing. As the vampire came close, Jou loaded the capsule into his firearm, and took a precise shot. The vampire halted as the bullet came whizzing toward him. As the capsule made contact with the vampire, the vampire started, in effect, to literally sizzle. Jou watched as the vampire started melting away, eventually into liquid and nothingness.
"Jou, what was that capsule-thing," Malik yelled while shooting off rounds with a semiautomatic machine gun at a full-fledged fang-bearing grizzly bear. "That capsule was a mixture of fire, melted silver, garlic, and holy water. Everything a vampire hates and dislikes, packaged into one handy weapon. Oh yeah, do you need help Malik?"
"I..... Don't....... Need.......... Your......... Help.......... Die.... You........... Piece.......... Of......... Vampire.......... Shit.........." Malik charged after the grizzly bear, with a sword upraised, screaming a battle cry.
Jou shrugged his shoulders, "Suit yourself. You really need to start accepting help when you need it someday Malik."
While fighting the shape-shifting vampire, Malik never saw Jou's body suddenly fall down limp, and disappear.
Yugi inserted a silver bullet into his pistol, and fired. The bullet passed right a vampire's head, causing it to fall down like a rock. "This is easier than I thought," Yugi smiled to himself as he reloaded. "What the........"
Another vampire swooped past Yugi, its fangs narrowly missing Yugi's neck. Its swoop however had knocked Yugi's guns away from him. The vampire then dismounted, sheathed its wings, and faced the small teen. "So, you want to go old-school then?" Yugi crouched into fighting position, "I can handle that."
The vampire rushed Yugi, who kicked up a bunch of dirt at a surprised vampire. The vampire cleared its eyes and looked around, bewildered. A punch at the back of his head caused the vampire to stutter forward slightly, but then quickly regained balance. "Great, these guys aren't easy when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, are they?" Yugi grumbled. As the tri-colored haired teen attacked the vampire, each of his punches and kicks were easily blocked. Yugi, seeing that he could not defeat the creature, started to rush away.
The vampire ran forward after him, its fangs bared. To the vampire, it seemed that Yugi was running away. The vampire smiled, licked his teeth, and let out a devastating swoop toward the small tri-colored haired boy. It just didn't notice what Yugi was running towards, two handguns on the ground.
But before Yugi could reach the weapons, a foot stepped upon them. The vampire, whom Yugi had shot through the head earlier, had come before Yugi, blocking his means of winning the fight. The hole within the vampire's skull still was there, blood and pieces of tissue still slowly exiting the wound. The vampire let out a growl, and threw a twisted dagger, impaling it upon Yugi's left leg. The boy immediately dropped onto the ground, emitting a cry of pain.
Yugi looked around helplessly, a slight trace of fear in his eyes. Both vampires' fangs grew longer, anticipating a meal. Sugoroku desperately tried to fight his way towards his grandson, but was knocked away by another vampire.
The vampires started approaching Yugi, who started trembling violently. As Yugi turned to face one of the vampires, the other suddenly flew towards Yugi at light speed, its teeth aimed directly at the soft artery upon the neck. Yugi snapped his eyes shut, ready for the end.................
A fireball consumed the attacking vampire, knocking Yugi to the ground, and causing both Yugi and the other vampire to gape. The remaining vampire took flight at an instant, hoping to outrun the powerful new entity. Before Yugi's eyes, a man suddenly jumped in front of the sprawled Yugi and tossed a silver stake right at the retreating vampire, five hundred feet away in the air. It connected directly with the vampire's heart, killing it instantly. The vampire's body fell, a look of pure shock still upon its ugly face.
As the smoke cleared, the man turned behind to face Yugi, who was flabbergasted. For one, his rescuer looked almost exactly like himself, and two, he rescuer looked dead-sexy. Yugi couldn't keep his face from not turning bright crimson as Yugi's savior then knelt down and began to dress Yugi's wounds. To Yugi's amazement, this new person managed to pry the dagger from his leg, and Yugi felt no pain at all. "Are you okay, young one?"
"Th...Thankkk y..you, I...I'm F....fine..., Yugi managed to stutter quite embarrassingly. "W...Who are you?"
"My name is Yami, what may your name be?" asked Yami politely.
"I....I'm Yugi M...Motou." Yugi's heart swooned at the mere mention of Yami's name. Nor could Yugi think straight, all his thoughts were directed towards his rescuer.
"You have a lovely name, Yugi."
Yugi's face turned an even more brilliant shade of red, and his body started shaking uncontrollably. "Thankkk..Thankkkks, Ya... Yamii. But.. How did you do that...., you know killing those vampiresss....... I've never seen anyone that adept at fighting..... Are you some sort of god or something like that........ Y... You look like one." Yugi cursed himself for making such an embarrassing comment.
Yami smiled at Yugi's comment, but then frowned ever so slightly, his mind desperately trying to formulate some good excuse. "I'm a vampire hunter, it is what I do. I'm sorry about your caravan being attacked. If I had noticed earlier, I could've helped you before you were nearly killed. I'm sorry."
Yugi's face fell slightly, but he managed to respond. "I..It's okay Yami, t...things like this happen, i....it's not your fault. I....I owe you my life. Thank you."
Yami smiled back. "You're welcome, Yugi Motou." An image flickered suddenly into Yami's mind, a familiar someone was near. "Yugi, would you mind if I left you for a moment, I have to track down any vampires left."
(If you can't tell, Yami's lying AGAIN.)
As Yugi nodded and wobbled away, Yami grumbled to himself. "Man that was a close one. A vampire slayer? Talk about major extreme irony. At least it worked; I can't let him find out who I really am. Now, Seto. I just felt your presence just moments ago, now where are you?" Yami looked around, seeing no one; so Yami's dark wings sprouted up out of his back as Yami began to take flight.
As Yami started flying away, among the dark reaches of the cliffs nearby, a figure stood watching him. Then, with a sweep of the figure's cloak, he was gone, leaving an ominous fate lingering upon the surrounding region.
