The party seemed to last forever. There was great music, a lot of talking and laughing, but something wasn't right. Something was lurking around, and Yami could feel it beneath his skin.

"Yugi, do you feel that?" he asked his hikari. "We may be in the presence of a pure evil."

"What kind of evil, Pharaoh?" Kairi asked, scaring the crud out of Yami when she appeared behind him.

"I'm not sure yet," he replied, turning towards the window. "I'm sure that it's out in the garden. Should we check?"

"Of course we should!" Brian retorted quickly, pulling out a small shotgun. "It may be something very dangerous, so be careful." Kaiba turned to Brian, and saw the shotgun.

"How in the world did you get that past security?" he yelled, beginning to grab at the gun.

"Eh, I can fit this in my pocket, Kaiba," the boy replied, placing a bullet into the stock. "Now, if you'll excuse us." Kairi, Yami, and Brian crossed over to the door, and walked out to the garden.

"See anything, Pharaoh?" Kairi asked, looking around in the brush. Both Yami and Brian were searching in the rose bushes, and in the flower beds. The former pharaoh shook his head sharply, as did Brian. "Well, there's nothing out here. Let's get back to the party. I'm sure that the vibrations that you felt are gone." Suddenly, a clawed hand made its appearance from under a bush, clasping itself around Kairi's ankle.

"Kairi, are you okay?" Yami yelled, rushing over to the hand and the squirming girl.

"Aside from the hand that just attached itself to my ankle, I'm fine!" Kairi replied sarcastically. The hand then began to pull her into the bush.

"Oh, no you don't!" Brian yelled, pulling out the shotgun. He fired a few shots at the hand, and it fell apart into dust. One bullet brushed by Kairi's ankle.

"Thanks, Brian," Kairi thanked, standing up, brushing the dirt from her pant leg.

"Not a problem, missy," Brian replied in a Southern accent, tipping a invisible hat. They laughed, and walked back into the mansion, a pair of red eyes glowing from under the bush.

"Blast it," the vampire hissed, holding up his handless arm. "I'd better tell the lord about this." The vampire quickly crawled from the plant, and flew off to alert the lord.

-On the edge of town-

"What do you mean that he blasted you?" the lord roared; spit flying into the lesser vampire's face. "You should be able to regenerate a minor injury!"

"I tried to, but that blast was too strong," the vampire stammered, bowing before his master's rage. "Just look!" He held up his left arm, where part of the bone was showing from the wound.

"That doesn't matter," the lord hissed, placing his hand on the wounded vampire's arm, healing it and creating a new hand. "What matters is that we found them, and we can finally give them what they deserve."

"Of course, Lord Parou," the vampire chuckled, bowing once more before flying off to alert the others. Parou watched the town, and grinned evilly.

"Soon," he hissed evilly. "Domino City will fall, and they will be mine."

Who is it that Parou was speaking of? What is his plan? Find out in chapter 4, The Chosen Ones.
