Zelda-Jewel: Yeah I know I haven't updated this one in a long time, I'm sorry about that. I was starting to lose inspiration in this story, but I'm back at full force. There's only about three more chapters to this story, and I thought it probably wouldn't be good if I just stopped with the updates...for that I'm truly sorry.

Let's get to some reviews

Reviews:

Optimistic girl94: Sorry you have been waiting a long time, but finally I have updated

Kikoken: I'm sorry I didn't update sooner...just stop waving that fist!

Setosbluedragon: Seto does make the most sexiest vampire I know (Drools) I don't recall that authors name...what are the titles of her books?

Yami Koibito: Well Joey can hold his own in many different situation...but going up again the King? The Lord? Of Vampires? he's bound to come out with a few bruises

Chika of the high Mts: Well I couldn't get onto Mediaminer in a long time so it's not my fault, you were my number one review there so I'm glad you found this place (Tamara of Egypt)

His eyes glittered in confusion, how could be make him bleed? Was he not immortal? He could not bleed...he took blood but never spilled blood, especially to him! He stared up at the dark figure watching him from the shadows of the room. He could see his smirk, there was no doubt about that, he felt his ever growing aura build by the minute.

How could something so noble...even for his kind...become horribly wrong in a matter of seconds? Did he fight this long to lose to the one that never could be defeated?...And he thought Kaiba was bad.

A raspy chuckle distracted him from his thoughts as the dark figure walked out of the shadows that washed over the entire house. Shadowing all of the past actions; the house was almost totally destroyed!

"Confused any" the loud voice mocked him as Joey laid on the floor of the kitchen "My powers are hundred times stronger then regular vampires and twice as deadly" it was clear at this point that Bakura was playing a twisted game.

Joey's eyes narrowed at the statement, if Bakura had this power from the beginning then why didn't he finish me at the beginning?

"You are more value to me alive...at least for now" Bakura sneered slowly advancing closer to his prey.

"Value! What do you mean by value" Joey anger started boiling again. No one used him and got away with it...no one. He quickly rose to his feet in one swift move, never leaving Bakura gaze.

"If he cares for his own life...then he will come" A toothy grin came upon Bakura's face before disappearing in a cloud of blood red smoke.

Once again Joey was left on the edge as the aura surrounded him, Bakura was in this room he knew it, but where was he"What do you mean 'his life'" Joey growled out from behind clenched teeth.

"In just a few days he has become very powerful, he has learned well and has succeeded previous ones before him"

A cold chill ran down Joey's back as he quickly whipped around to face Bakura. His arms shot up in front of him trying to counter Bakura's blows. The muscles in his arms burned with fire as Bakura hardly pushed against his defenses. The power he had was very very strong.

"And it is because of that, that I must kill him or take control of him on my side rather then despised me" Bakura growled before spinning around landed a round house kick to Joey's rib cage knocking him to the ground a few feet away.

Groaning in agony Joey felt the throbbing at his mid-section. The pain was real, something he had not come as strong as the blows that were given by Bakura. " Stop with your mind games...who are you talking about"

Joey rose again, slow so not to cause more pain then he already has. His eyes meet Bakura just before both of them came crashing to the ground. In a blink of an eye, Joey had managed to knock the Vampire King to the ground. He straddled Bakura hoping to keep him down for the blows that Joey had in mind for him.

He clenched his fist, striking fast to land the punch to Bakura's face, but before his fist could even get close to him Bakura teleported through the red smoke cloud from before. In a second the back of Joey's neck was grabbed before he was mercilessly thrown across the room through the dry wall into the next room.

"It would serve no purpose if he became even more powerful and decide to take what is truly mine"

The throbbing in Joey's head became more apparent with the mocking of Bakura's voice seeping it's way into his thoughts. He didn't now on what level Bakura wanted to play this game, but Joey also had tricks up his sleeves to stop Bakura.

A sudden weight was added to Joey's chest, the burning sensation increased as Bakura's foot felt like it was slowly crushing his rib cage pressing him flat like a flower pressed within a heavy book. His eyes filled with a pained expression as he meet Bakura's hateful eyes.

"If he were on my side, the world would never stand a chance, we will destroy this pitiful race one by one. The pleasure that will derive from the endless screams that would fill the streets. Blood painted against the concrete and the glass from the innocent and naive humans...starting with your sister and that boy that she's trying to hide" Joey's eyes flashed crimson with warning, his sister...the one that he wanted to destroy when first turned into this damned creature was now in danger of falling into Bakura's hands.

Who is this boy she's trying to hide from me? Joey's mind wondered until the dark chuckle made him come to his senses.

"So he never told you, he thought that the boy would be safe with her, but that's the farthest from the truth"

Suddenly, similar from what Bakura did Joey teleported within an emerald green cloud coming from right behind Bakura. He swiftly swung his foot to hitting the back of Bakura's head. Joey's breathing was ragged.

"So you learned how to use your teleporting powers...impressive...but it won't be enough to get rid of me" Bakura snarled as he got to his feet to face the blond again.

"Who were you talking about? Who is 'He'" Joey yelled, he wanted answers he was sick of these games.

"You really are a blond" Bakura laughed. In lightning speed he was behind Joey grabbing a fist full of blond hair before pulling his head to the side. His fangs now shone through and before Joey could even think of escaping Bakura sank his teeth in the blonds neck, "Kaiba...I'm talking about Kaiba" Bakura mentally laughed as a blood thirsty scream filled the air.

His roar echoed in the dark alley, the Mutt had gone to far. He told him not to go up against Bakura but he didn't listen and now he got both of them in trouble. A gasp drew his attention over to Yugi who watched in horror from all that was happening

'YU...WHA...HAP...ING!' Yugi mental link with Yami was considerable weak, he couldn't really understand what Yami was saying all he could hear was parts of his yelling. His attention was drawn when he saw Kaiba raise to his feet. Anger clouded his mind and his eyes glowed a dark crimson color.

"You dare mock me" his voice was threatening making Yugi flinch. His mind told him to get up and run like hell, but his body couldn't move it only saw Kaiba getting closer and closer.

He was going to die by Kaiba's hands...after all that he did for him, after all the times he helped him, Kaiba was going to murder him? Glass shattered all around as the side buildings complied with Kaiba increasing anger.

Pieces few everywhere, slashing Yugi across the cheek. Blood seeped through the deep gash, it poured down the pale cheek as Yugi back away as fast as he could. There was no one to save him now. He was all alone!

"If it wasn't for you, I would be happy, I would be powerful. You made a mockery out of me and I don't let that go unscathed. Finally I will defeat you" Kaiba growled licking the blood that tricked down his chin...he would deal with Yugi first then he will deal with that moronic dog.

Through his mental link, Kaiba could feel the fear Joey had his confusion, but he shrugged it off, he came here to defeat Yugi not worry about some dumb mongrel.

Suddenly a loud scream filled his head, as he was forced to grab his throbbing head from the pain that shot through there. He felt the blood that soaked down his brunette tresses, it appeared that maybe he would have to leave this for later.

A deep raspy growl came from Kaiba's mouth as he faced Yugi once more, "I'll deal with you later" with that Kaiba vanished in a cloud of blue smoke.

Bakura re-entered what was left of his room gentle shutting the door behind him. He eyed Ryou who was still unconscious on the floor. With a victorious smirk his eyes wondered down the the blond that he held in his arms. The pain that Joey had experiences was so great the blond passed out.

Dropping him on the ground, Bakura walked over to the plush chair in the corner...he would wait. Kaiba will come he could already feel his presents not to far from here.

This was proven when the sound of foot steps could be heard. Bakura's grin widened as the door was kicked down and there stood a very pissed off Seto Kaiba
