ZeldaJewel: Hehehe another update, I must say these few chapters will have the most action in them. And who loves a good sword fight...I do, and I know it's weird to have a modern day setting with sword fighting btu hey in this story there are vampires, it doesn't have to make sense!

I know LOT'S of you are hoping for a Yaoi at the end but I'm sorry there's NOT. I just wanted to write a story with my two favorite characters and their rivalry towards one another...so kill me, there's no Yaoi.

I'm starting to whined down on this story...finally...but there's still at least five more chapters, so never fear there's still lot's a conflicts to solve.

Now to my Reviews:

KaibaGurl:

Freak09: Thanks you, I think that song is somewhat like Kaiba to so I had to put it in there.

Viciously Wicked: I'll try and add a little more Joey.

Optimistic Girl94: Why must things happen this way?...because I'm evil (Smirks wickedly)

Sirithiliel:

JoeyWheelerPup:

Kikoken: Ok Ok I'll update, yu can come out from under your bed...wait...maybe not

Flame Swordswoman: I hope to give you a great Joey and Bakura fight, you'll just have to tell me how I did

Yugi's girl:

Hi Ya: No offense taken...you thought it would be stupid at first (glares daggers) that's ok as long as you like it now

Recap the Moment:

He hated alleyways they were nothing but trouble, they were mazes that anyone could easily get lost such as himself since right now...he was lost he didn't know where to go. Looking behind him he saw that he wasn't been followed...which was never good.

Coming to a stop Yugi looked frantically around trying to find any trace of Kaiba, right to left he scanned the area. Questions flooded his mind...Where did Kaiba go?...What was he?...Why does he want me?...How can he be alive?...all these questions were suddenly pushed out of his mind as Yugi went flying back to the ground as Kaiba landed on the ground from out of no where.

Yugi painfully got to his knees, looking up into Kaiba's lifeless eyes,

The ally screamed with anticipation for the fighting rivals, facing one another off.

"This is it Yugi I've won against you, I am superior to all and you will only know this as you draw your last breath"

Yugi could only look on in shock as Kaiba came towards him with hate and anger within his eyes, he prayed that this blow will be fast and painless.

Their swords were locked in battle, each trying to hold their own strength against one another, both brown eyes blazed red. Joey's muscles shook with the strength Bakura gave off and he wondered at that point if this was such a good idea. But he wasn't willing to give up, especially to Bakura he would fight his ground to the best of his abilities and with no needed help.

A foot mercilessly found it's way to Joey's stomach. He flew back at speed that would master the sound waves of the atmosphere. His back landed down on the concrete floors, instantly cracking it, yet even that didn't harm Joey for he was back on his feet within a matter of seconds.

"Your such a weakling" Bakura spat, as he steadily advanced on him.

Joey remained impassive, his eyes where clouded over to make sure no one saw what he was thinking or feeling, for once he was emotionless. He raised his swords back into the air, his fighting stance again firmly in place ready for another go.

Bakura would lose, he was sure of this. He would come out victorious as Bakura would fall from his glory and he will come out the hero...Bakura would lose this day and age. All he had to do was get to Ryou and it would be over. Glancing over at the still figure of Ryou a small smirk planted on Joey's lips, yes Bakura would fall today.

Joey's eyes narrowed turned back towards Bakura his lips curled into a smirk, as Bakura grinned madly back at him knowing his thoughts, but he was wrong, Joey would not be victorious today or ever...he never was even when he was alive.

Bakura watched as Joey's feet lifted from the ground. His smirk still remained on his face as his hair covered his eyes. Joey slashed his sword to his side waiting for Bakura to follow him into the air. Maybe their skills will be put to the test with the air as their battle field.

A toothy grin followed as Bakura raised into the air a few meters away from Joey himself. He knew his game and he would lose much more then he could ever expect.

"So you decided to take this to a 'higher' level didn't you?" Bakura grinned,

"Humph" was the only response he got before Joey's smirk curled more showing his fangs that dropped to his bottom lip. His eyes shot up in defiance, yielding his sword in front of him.

"Let's see who is better in the air and let's see who needs to work on their skills" Joey chuckled darkly

"Of course, but unfortunately for you...you won't be alive to work on your skills when I'm down" Bakura replied

Joey's hand tightened around his sword, he would not lose to this monster, but ironically enough he was the same monster he referred to. Anger pulsated through him, anger of what they made him like this was coming back...I won't lose.

"You have yet to know the strength of a vampire, but once you do you'll never want to be what you use to be, they're weak. Soon this world will be ruled by our kind, humans will stand as nothing but slave and late night snacks" Bakura added gasoline to Joey's fiery anger.

His knuckles where the lightest shade of white his sword shook with anger as his lips turned to the deadly of fear. He wouldn't stand for this, he was not this monster Bakura talked about, he would not rule under him like the minions he had, never will he act like that.

Swiftly he shot through the air, bringing his sword over his head then slicing it down towards Bakura as it clanged the sword of Bakura. Joey's anger maneuvered him to act spinning his body around before making a swift kick to Bakura's gut.

Bakura flew back but caught himself in mid air before hitting the wall, his grin intensified as he swung his sword back in front of him.

"Pathetic" Bakura chuckled

"And yet I caught ya off guard" Joey smirked

"Did you now?"

Joey's smirk faded into anger once again as he pointed his sword up towards his target, "Yes I did" with that Joey pulled back before lashing out towards Bakura delivering two slashes that were blocked by Bakura.

Their swords once again danced within battle. "Or maybe it was to lure you in" Bakura chuckled wickedly before thrusting Joey back. Like Bakura Joey stopped himself from hitting the wall inches away.

It was Bakura's time to attack as he launched towards the blonde with his sword point straight in front of him. Joey quickly moved to the side using the wall to create friction for him. The end of Bakura's swords ripped through Joey's baggy shirt but didn't not come in contact with his flesh.

Bakura instantly took after the blonde, each using the walls to bounce upon. Joey escaped through Ryou's bedroom door as he drifted down the halls of their house. Was he running? he did not know, but he needed to get far enough away to send an attack back to Bakura.

His back pressed against the cold walls of the kitchen as his feet once again made contact with the floor he was waiting for Bakura to enter that way. All was silent he didn't here Bakura racing after him, maybe he wasn't going to follow him...maybe he was chicken. No that wasn't Bakura, he knew from his sick games that Bakura would not run.

He glanced around the corner looking up the dark stairs, there was no trace of Bakura anywhere...so where was he...

"Trying to hide" a dark voice made Joey snap his head around before seeing cold steel coming towards him. He jumped out of the way before the sword followed. Joey raised his swords to defend, but unfortunately it was knocked pathetically out of his hands.

Backing up his eyes traveled to the hold of the sword, his eyes glowed red. Bakura look more demonic then he already did. Joey know stood within the middle of the kitchen. In all honesty he was trapped but he would not give that to Bakura, he would stand until there was nothing to stand on.

Brown eyes narrowed as he watched Bakura swirl around him, his eyes held defiance as Bakura's held amusement.

"So the 'hero' drops his sword in battle...is that apart of your plan?" Joey's lips formed a sneer.

"I must say you were quite surprised, you have yet to know how to use your senses of hearing and stealth" Bakura chuckled,

Joey followed Bakura as he circled his prey, but Joey was not intending to be the prey this day. With a flash of red Joey's eyes landed on the kitchen knives, they would have to do until he could get around Bakura.

His attention was drawn away when Bakura swung his sword towards Joey's neck. Immediately Joey ducked under the sword inches away from his blonde hair. He then sent a strong blow with his elbow up to Bakura's chest. Stumbling back Bakura laughed he watched how Joey flipped his body over the kitchen island to the stack of knives.

One after one Joey shot them at Bakura as he caught them swiftly in his hands while the other defended against the other ones.

"Nice try" Bakura teased, as Joey made a dash towards the living room.

Joey glimpsed over his shoulder to see if he was being followed (A/N: He should learn not to do that) that's when his face made contact with a firm chest. He took a step back before quickly jumping over the steel coming towards him.

"Fool you won't escape me" Bakura scowled

Bakura swung again as Joey stepped back. Bakura lashed out making Joey hit the corner of the wall. From the side view Joey could see his sword on the ground of the kitchen, calling out to him to take it and run Bakura through...or at least Ryou.

Joey grounded his teeth as he saw Bakura making a attempt with his sword to strike him. His reflexes kicked in as he jumped into the air, flipping over Bakura. As soon as his feet landed back on the ground Joey dashed to his sword. He dare not look back this time, he just needed to get to his sword.

Bakura watched in amusement, maybe he needed a good battle once in a while. He concentrated his power to his sword. A crimson red glow encircled the sharp end of the sword, what he had planned for Joey would bring ultimate pain.

'It's time to make him feel pain again'

Once the cold metal of the sword's handle came into contact with Joey's hand, he whipped around to face Bakura...but all he saw was a red sword coming towards him. Joey didn't have time to react before it made contact with the side of his cheek. Stumbling back Joey involuntary raised his hand to his cheek.

When bringing his hand down he was startled at the substance that covered his hand...blood. His eyes looked up in shock before a powerful strike landed under his chin forcing his body upward.

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

Yugi held his breath as he watched Kaiba lashed out towards him, he closed his eyes waiting for the painful blow to come...if only Yami was with him, maybe he could stand a chance.

Kaiba's eyes burnt red as he flew towards the small duelist that proved to be his rival. He was inches away from the small figure before he instantly flew backwards. His rear landed hard on the alley's cement ground.

A shock expression appeared on his face, he looked at Yugi who also had a shocked look to him. Suddenly he felt cold liquid poor down his side of his cheek. Raising his hand to wipe what it was away from him he noticed it had a familiar crimson color.

Shock and fear of the unknown clouded his mind...then it came to him

"JOEY!" he yelled in heated anger

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