Joey: Hahaha, sweet revenge, I'll get my revenge since now I'm a vampire

Seto: I would like to see you try, remember I'm still your superior

Joey: Will see

Seto: Yes we will

Zelda_Jewels: What have I created, by any how no body reads these things they just skip to the story, so therefore let's begin.

(Last Time)

("What about poor Yugi, what will he say?" Tea asked tears falling from her eyes

"I'll tell him and Serenity what has happened" Tristan offered

"Alright move out, this has now become a murder scene" the cop pushed the three friends out of the room. Joey couldn't believe what they said.

\\YOU IDIOT...I told you that humans would see you as dead//

//There going to bury me alive\\

\\No they won't, dusk will be upon us in a few minutes, then I'll come out//

//What about me?\\

\\Move your tongue over your teeth and tell me what you think//

Joey did as told, seeming normal until he hit his eye tooth, it was much longer than it should have been. He was struck with realization that Kaiba was telling the truth, he was dead, no he was the living dead.

"I'm a vampire")

--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------- Crimson Temptations

"Serenity are you ok?" Mai asked, she brang Serenity a cup of hot coffee, even though it was nearly dinner time coffee sounded good at this time.

Serenity sat on Mai's couch her knees drawn to her chest, the thought of her brother being kidnapped or murdering their own father was torturing her, never in a million years would never Joey do anything to hurt others, not even to his enemies. Mai's question didn't even register in her mind until a a reassuring arm wrapped around her.

"I won't believe it, I can't believe it, Joey's innocent" Serenity replied sternly, her fingers formed into fists, making her knuckles white.

"Serenity...As much as I want to believe Joey's innocent...we can't say anything until firm evidence is given, all we can do is hope that Joey's alright"

Mai tried her best to smile, but found that these current events haunted her as well, she had to admit that she had a soft spot for the loud mouth blonde, and to know that he was missing and that he won't be returning anytime soon was just driving her off the deep end.

The sound of the telephone snapped both Mai and Serenity from their thoughts, Mai left the couch to answer what she considered an annoyance, but maybe they found something on Joey.

"Hello?" Mai asked, her tone was of one that didn't have enough energy to even talk

"Hey Mai, is Serenity there?"

"Oh hi Tristan, she's here but I don't think she would like to talk at this moment" Serenity's eyes moved upward when Tristan's name was mentioned, she knew he was going to join the search to find Joey.

"Please Mai it's urgent" Tristan begged

"I'm sorry Tristan, I don't think she's..." Serenity literally pushed Mai out of the way, grabbing the speaker of the phone.

"H-Hello Tristan? Is there anything on Joey?" Serenity was pleading him on the phone to say that her brother would be alright.

"W-Well uh Serenity, w-we joined that search party and well uh we came to this warehouse uh and um Joey was f-found m-murdered within one of the rooms"

Everything was silent, Serenity just had a look of shock written on her face, Mai, seeing this grew afraid of what Tristan had just told her.

"Uh Serenity I'm really sorry....Serenity?" the end of the phone slipped through Serenity's fingers to the ground, she still stood there in shock, it was like that not all the light were on in her head, if you catch my drift.

Mai grabbed the phone to see if Tristan was still there, once coming to the conclusion that he had hung up, she placed the phone back on the receiver. Mai turned to examine Serenity, seeing her facial expression was just killing her.

"Serenity?" Mai went to reach a hand out to her,

"HE'S DEAD, JOEY HAS BEEN MURDERED" Serenity screamed, she fell to the ground in broken sobs, her body shook from the rapid pool of tears that fell freely down her cheeks, Mai registered what Serenity had told her, before she could stop them, tears ran down her own face, she took Serenity into a embracive hug to trying and comfort her.

"I-I'm s-so s-sorry.....I k-know how close you were to y-your b- brother....he'll always love you" Mai tried to calm the weeping Serenity plus herself down.

"NO HE'S NOT DEAD, HE'S ALIVE I KNOW IT, JOEY WOULDN'T LEAVE ME" Serenity screamed, she scrambled to her feet.

" But Serenity Tristan said..."

"HE'S LYING, THEIR ALL LYING, JOEY'S ALIVE" at that Serenity ran from the apartment in a fit of tears and anger, but deep down in her heart she knew that her brother was gone.

--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ -------

"Hello?" Yugi answered the phone, his usual cheery voice was now filled with worry for his friend. Since he received a call from Tea telling him the warning Joey had given to her to stay there and not return home, he had waited by the phone to receive more information.

"Yugi, it's Tristan, listen buddy uh I have some important information to tell you"

"Is Joey alright?" Yugi persisted

"Well not exactly, you see I was to bring Serenity to Joey's apartment, knowing that Joey probably forgot, and well when we got there we found Joey's and Serenity's father murdered"

"WHAT? Are they ok?"

"Serenity's taking it hard, but that's not all, we went on a search party to find Joey who had been missing, uh we came to a warehouse and uh um I don't know how to say this uh we found him murdered in one of the bedrooms"

Yugi couldn't speak, his throat became tight as he hung up the phone on Tristan.

//Yugi?What's wrong?\\

\\J-Joey...he's gone//

//What do you mean?, gone where?\\

\\He's been murdered// Yugi cried through his mind link to Yami, suddenly Yami appeared beside him, his ghostly form stood above him, watching his light cry was getting to him, he took Yugi in a loving brotherly hug.

"I'm sorry Yugi"

--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ ---------

Joey's eyes fluttered open once again, the coolness of the dark was some what calm to him, where as before the night gave him the chills. He slowly sat up from the bed he had currently occupied, problem was, where he laid was ice cold when his body heat should have heated the bed as well.

"It's about time you got up" Came a sneer from the right side of the room. Joey shifted his gaze to Kaiba who was standing over a bunch of the reporters and medics that had been around, notice HAD. A toothy grin spread across his face, his usual white teeth were now stained with crimson liquid, that Joey couldn't keep his eyes off of.

"What happened?" Joey shook his head trying to get the sight out of his head, the sight of dead body before would make Joey sick, now it didn't bother him as much. His morning headache wasn't there which surprised him since he always had though's, mostly because of Kaiba, but now he felt fine, no not fine GREAT.

"You passed out once you admitted to being a vampire" Kaiba smirked as he watched Joey's eyes shot open.

"That can't be" Joey said in disbelief

"Oh it can, or you would be dead by now"

"No, I didn't want to be a vampire, how many times do I have to tell you" Joey yelled, Kaiba frowned instantly, getting his emotionless face back on.

"Do I care what you want, if I did I would have left you alone the night a few weeks ago" Kaiba growled he wasn't in the mood to argue, the night was young and he was hunger.

"Come Mutt, we have to eat" Kaiba tauntingly shook his finger signaling for Joey to come.

"Forget it I would rather starve then lower myself to eat something like that" Joey crossed his arms determined not to give in to his craving. He turned his back to Kaiba not wanting to face him right now, angered that Kaiba would do such a thing, not even Kaiba himself wanted to be a vampire so why would he curse someone who was just like him.

Suddenly his was yanked back by the collar of his shirt coming face to face with Kaiba, who didn't look that happy at all.

"YOU WILL EAT" Kaiba growl, clutching Joey's shirt tight

"Why are you so worried whether I eat or not, are you afraid that you'll die because of me hmm? That's right Kaiba now your life is in my hands, who's superior now" Joey mocked, knowing from what Bakura had said that if he dies Kaiba dies.

Joey's mocking smirk was quickly wiped from his face when Kaiba's fist hit him straight on, but instead of extreme pain, there was nothing.

"Don't talk back to me, I'm your master" Kaiba warned

"Oh yeah well, this pup is now free, so I'll take my leave" Joey strolled to the door, although he knew he would return at dawn, in a way he wasn't free at all.

"You better eat Mutt, that's an order"

Joey didn't reply he just made his way out of the warehouse before anything else was said, he walk down the cold night's streets, snow fell on the path below him, but he wasn't cold, he couldn't feel anything, but at that moment he wish he could have.

'Why? Everything happens to me, why can't they happen to someone else?' Joey fumed, he stuffed his hands in his pockets his head held low to the ground almost ashamed.

'Stupid life, stupid dad, stupid friends, stupid night, stupid vampires, STUPID KAIBA' Joey yelled through his mind, he could feel Kaiba trying to pry into his though's, but since Joey was now stronger he could block him easier.

Joey plopped down on a near by bench, he had to think, he had to ignore his stomach which was now growling out of control. There has to be a way, anyway to return back into a human there must be.

He held his head in his hands, wondering if there was anyway out of the mess he found himself in, unknowing to him that he was being watched from a distance from Kaiba, who planted himself a far tree branch.

'That Mutt better eat, or I'm going to force him to' Kaiba growled as he continued to watch, even though he couldn't blame Joey he went at least 3 days without eating until Bakura made him eat when he was to weak to even think since then he couldn't stop.

--------------------------------------------------------------- ----------

While Joey was thinking a certain smell filled his nostrils, it was intoxicating, a smell of sweet and spicy fragrances. He instantly rose from his seat to try and get a better position, it came from the park but where? Joey found himself moving to the scent.

What was it?

He didn't know

Where is it coming from?

He'll find out

What form was it from?

He would see

What did it taste like?

He will indulge himself

Joey licked his lips at the smell as it got stronger, he needed to find what this great smell was.

Kaiba watched with interested as Joey jumped form his seat and started to follow whatever it was he was tracking. He jumped form the tree and follow the blonde through the park, he could smell lot's of humans blood, but he couldn't find the scent Joey was interested in.

--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ --

Deep within the park young Serenity sat on an empty bench seat, tears stained her cheeks, her eyes were puffy from crying. And on the bad side the winters breeze was freezing.

"Please Joey...b-be alive...I-I need you" Serenity cried, she didn't even notice when a presence enclosed her.

"What's a pretty girl like you doing in the park allll alone" a deep voice purred, Serenity shot her head up to meet a man she had never meet, his hair was greasy, his teeth a greeny yellow, a face that needed to be shaved, and on top of that he smelled of alcohol.

"W-What d-do you want?" Serenity asked getting afraid,

"You" The man whispered evilly as he advanced on her.
