OMG! I'm so sorry for the long wait everyone! But the computer I share with my sister and brother crashed down on us with viruses and we couldn't get much work done with our ficcies on the living room computer at all! So here I am in study hall, in fact with my brother and sister! Ain't that neat?

So here it is! My next chapter! Hope you enjoy!

Thoughts…

Yami sighed as he was just standing up, getting ready to go back up stairs when he saw both Marik and Bakura coming down the stairs, Bakura carrying someone while Marik carried two. Yami blinked.

"And what do we have here?" Yami asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

Bakura grinned and placed Ryou down next to the sleeping Yugi. Yami almost gasped as he saw Ryou's figure and face – then back at his friend. Ryou looked just like Bakura!

Marik then did the same and placed down Malik and Mokuba, next to the knocked out Ryou. "We found them in the front yard… I'm guessing they had come to save their little friend there…" Marik said, pointing towards Yugi.

"Hm… Well, now we can know more about them, hopefully. But we have to gain their trust…"

"Of course Yami, we're not morons. We know what we have to do." Bakura snarled before sitting down, right above where Ryou's head laid. Marik did the same with Malik, and then Yami went and sat back down next to Yugi.

"Hopefully the effects of the smoke balls will ware off…" Bakura muttered.

"Heh, I was wondering what you used to get them like this." Yami said.

"N-nani?"

Yami blinked and looked down, smiling softly. Yugi had awoken.

"Hello, Aibou…"

Yugi looked up at Yami and hissed at him, getting up and backing away from him. "I said not to call me that, you monster!" Yugi was about to tackle Yami and slash him but then stopped and blinked, seeing his friends were laying there by each other – asleep. Yugi gasped.

"Mokuba! Ryou! Malik!" He went over to them and started down at their forms before glaring up at the three hunters. "What did you do to my friend? Tell me!"

"We didn't do anything except make them fall asleep." Marik explained.

"Liar! You poisoned them or something!"

"Huh? What the?..."

Yugi blinked and stared down at his three friends. One of his three friends had awoken. He smiled brightly, before nearly tackling the little albino vampire down.

"Ryou!"

"So… This little one that looks like me is named Ryou… Cute name, for a cute boy." Bakura said, grinning. Yami smirked. "Does Bakura have a crush?" Bakura glared at him. "Not like you don't with this little one here." He said sticking his thumb towards Yugi. This made the vampire blush. "Nani?"

Bakura snickered. "Ah yes. Yami here seems to like you very much, little one. He thinks you're rather cute for a vampire."

"Shut up!" Yami growled, his cheeks a deep crimson color. Yugi felt himself smile softly at the sight of Yami's face.

Ryou blinked and looked at the hunters, then to Yugi. His eyes shone fear in them. Yugi saw this and hugged his friend tightly. "It's okay, Ryou. I'm here." Ryou whimpered softly before his eyes caught the motionless bodies of the other two vampires.

"Malik! Mokuba!" Ryou cried out as he shook both boys in each time he called out their names, hoping they would snap out of their sleeping state. "So Malik is his name, hm?" Marik said, a smirk playing on his lips. After he said this, it was then Malik started to wake up, along with Mokuba.

"Nani? Where am I?" Malik opened his eyes slowly, blinking and then sat up, looking around. Mokuba sat up and looked around as well, seeing the three hunters and squeaked, soon hiding behind Malik. Malik saw the three and snarled, trying his best to be brave for all of them. "Where are we and what do you want from us?"

Marik grinned. "No use to trying to act brave… I can sense your fear."

Malik growled at him. "Who said I was afraid of stupid hunters such as you three? There are four of us and three of you! We can take you down easily!"

"Not likely…"

Malik, Ryou, Yugi, and Mokuba all turned their attentions up to the top of the stairs, where the door was, opened with someone standing there.

"Ah… Come to join us, Seto?" Bakura grinned, glancing up at the brunette.

"Hn… I wanted to know what you did with your recent catch…"

Mokuba froze when Bakura said Seto's name. S-seto…? Mokuba peeked out from behind Malik, looking over to Seto as he walked down the stairs. Mokuba's eyes widen and his jaw dropped. It was… It was…

"S-seto!"

Mokuba leaped up and ran over to Seto, jumping and clinging to Seto's arm. Seto blinked, and stared down at the little vampire, Mokuba glancing back up at the brunette, giving Seto a full vision of Mokuba's face…

"No… M-Mokuba?" Seto couldn't believe it. Everyone else was left there, dumbfounded. "Um… You two know each other?" Bakura asked, sweatdropping.

"H-hai…" Seto spoke.

"How?" Yami asked, raising a brow.

Mokuba frowned up at Seto. "I missed you so much… Big brother…"

Gomen Nasi that it's short. I had to end it there and I couldn't think of anything else to add into this chapter. I know, I haven't worked on this one in awhile and I only post up a short chapter… I'm soooooo sorry! I promise the next one will be longer.

Ja ne!
