The second chapter of Vampire Insights is now underway! It seems that the stranger wants to have the Millennium Items, but why? What does it want with them? Is the gang all part of a prophecy? Read onward and find out.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story. Thank you.

"So, why would someone want to steal something from Egypt?" Brian asked, turning towards Yami, tossing his head. "I mean, we defeated Zorc, and he can't be resurrected from Hell. What could this mean?"

"I'm not sure, Guardian," Yami replied, holding up the sword the half demon, Inuyasha, gave him not so long ago. "It seems that we may play an important role in this strange mystery."

"Perhaps you're right, my pharaoh," the guardian and protector whispered, placing his left fist into his right hand, his head bowed. Kairi, Parou, and Joey entered the room of the game shop, looking worried.

"Did you find anything out?" Yami asked, looking up at them. Kairi shook her head quickly, and made her way towards the pharaoh.

"Don't you worry, guys," Joey comforted, punching the air. "We'll keep trying."

"I'm sure that we'll find something sooner or later," Parou pointed out, his green eyes closing before they walked out. Brian still looked down at his hands, stood up, and walked out of the room, his eyes glistening. Could we possibly play a role, just like the Pharaoh said, he thought, leaning against the wall. I know that we'll keep our king safe. Maybe.

-Meanwhile-

Yami Bakura made his way down a dark alley, the Millennium Ring around his neck.

"So, it seems that another thief is in this city," he muttered, clenching his fists. "I'll have to change that."

"Oh, you won't do anything," whispered a voice in the shadows. Yami Bakura whirled around, but saw no one there. "All you will do is hand over your Ring, or else."

"Me? Hand over my Ring?" Bakura asked sarcastically. "Don't make me laugh. Really, you don't know the first thing of thievery."

"Don't I?" the voice replied, stepping out of the shadows, revealing the cloaked thief. "I can take that Ring around your neck away from you in an instant." With that, the thief rushed around the Thief King, in circles until there was a cloud of dust. Confused, Yami Bakura looked around, in search of the thief. When the dust settled, the Millennium Ring was gone.

"What?" Yami Bakura shouted, looking down at where the Ring was. "That's not possible!"

-Domino Cliffs-

"That was easier than the last stealing," the figure laughed, placing the ring inside of the box. "Now then, to find the others, and to achieve the ultimate goal." The wind whipped the cloak as the figure grinned beneath the cloak.

What will happen as the thief searches for the other Items? Who will be the next victim? Find out in chapter three, A Rod Missing.
