A young vampire hunter turned the corner into an alley. She spun to face the vampires pursuing her. The hunter was sixteen years old and small for her age, about five feet tall. She did not look very dangerous – just the opposite in fact. She had long, tri-colored hair that reached the middle of her back. The hunter's hair was mostly black with gold and wine-colored stripes. Her wide eyes were the color of amethysts. Her nose was no bigger than a button while her lips were rosy and petal shaped; perfect for kissing. The little hunter's skin was soft and creamy but her cheeks were a soft rose color. Her name was Yugi Kinamotou. Yugi studied the ten or so vampires in of her. 'Not good,' Yugi thought as she readied herself for the fight.
What Yugi didn't know was that she was being watched; by another vampire no less. This vampire went by the name of Yami Motou. He was 5'4" with dusky, tanned skin, and high cheek bones. Yami had piercing ruby-red orbs and wild hair. His was ebony edged in crimson for the most part while his bangs were golden lighting bolts. He was clad from head to toe in form fitting black leather. From Yami's hips dangled a pair of sais. 'This fight is going to get out of hand rather quickly,' he thought.
Down in the alley the fight had started. Yugi was doing remarkably well; dodging blows and landing many of her own. Yugi's luck changed when one of vampire managed to wound her badly in the side. Yami saw that she was bleeding heavily and decided to intervene. Yami jumped down from the roof where he'd been watching to land in front of Yugi.
"Look," sneered one vampire, "it's the mortal lover!"
"Let's teach 'em both a lesson they won't soon forget!" jeered another.
"Shut up and fight." Yami growled, pulling his sais from their sheaths. Yugi was utterly bewildered. Why was this vampire helping her? Yugi was growing pale from loss of blood. Yami noticed that Yugi was about to pass out. He decided to end the fight. Yami summoned up a bright flash of light that temporarily blinded the other vampires. Yami scooped Yugi up just as the young hunter fainted. He spread his large, feathered wings and headed towards home.
Yami landed on the balcony of the apartment he shared with his sister, Mei-Lin. Mei-Lin is Yami's twin, and looks very similar to him. The only difference is that Mei-Lin's hair was like Yugi's. Mei-Lin opened the sliding glass door for him. Yami entered, telling Mei-Lin "She's hurt. Took a blow to the side and passed out from blood loss."
"Put her in the guest room. I'll get the first aid kit." Mei-Lin replied. Yami carried Yugi into the guest room and laid her gently on the bed. He began to unbutton Yugi's shirt; trying not to stare at the little hunter's well-formed chest. Mei-Lin came in just as he finished removing Yugi's shirt. "Out, brother. I'll let you know when I'm done." Mei-Lin told him. Yami left the room. Half an hour later Mei-Lin came out.
"She's still out cold but I managed to bind up the wound. She'll wake up in the morning." Mei-Lin in formed him.
Yugi began to stir. Where am I, she wondered. The last thing I remember is that fight. She opened her eyes. Yugi saw that she was in a bedroom but not her bedroom. Yugi realized that her vampire sense was going off. She spotted a young man reclining in a nearby chair. He was an extremely handsome creature Yugi thought. She realized that he was causing her vampire sense to go off.
"Good, you're awake. Mei-Lin said it would be sometime soon." He spoke in a deep baritone that sent shivers down Yugi's spine.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Yugi demanded.
"Firstly, my name is Yami Motou. Secondly, you are in the guest room of my apartment."
"What are you going to do with me? What have you done with me?" cried the slightly hysterical girl.
"The only thing I'm going to do is make sure that you make a full recovery. My sister Mei-Lin bandaged you up."
Yugi tried to sit up but fell back down due to a searing pain in her left side. I remember now; he saved me from those other vampires, she thought.
"Why did that other vampire call you a mortal lover?" Yugi inquired. Yami looked thoughtful and answered slowly, "Because to them I am a mortal lover. I was a mortal once even if it was countless centuries ago."
Yugi thought about the information she'd just received . Turned vampires were usually more sympathetic towards humans but she doubted that Yami was as old as he said he was. Vampires always exaggerated how old they were. Is he going to let me go once I'm healed? Yugi's stomach interrupted her musings, reminding the girl that she hadn't eaten in a while. Yugi blushed furiously.
"Hungry?" the vampire asked. The young hunter nodded and he stood and walked over to Yugi's bed. Yami surprised her by gathering her up in his arms and carrying her bridal-style into the kitchen. Yugi was embarrassed to be carried but she did like being held close against Yami's strong, warm chest. Yugi was surprised, after all he is a vampire. He deposited Yugi in a chair by the kitchen table. "I'm not as good as Mei-Lin in here but I promise that anything I make in here won't kill you." Yami informed her. The little hunter was surprised that he could cook. Most vampires couldn't boil water.
"You have a sister?" she asked, curious.
"Yes, she's my twin. Her name's Mei-Lin. How do you feel about omelets?" the vampire replied.
"Fine with me. I'd like cheese and bell peppers in it."
"Alright."
Yami gathered what he needed as Yugi watched. 'He has such a cute rear,' she thought as Yami bent over to retrieve a frying pan. Yugi admired how Yami's fitted, black leather showed off his sleekly muscled form. She was startled out of her train of thought when Yami set a plate down in front of her. Yugi took the fork he handed her and began to eat. As she ate, Yugi noticed that Yami had his own plate.
"You're eating too?" Yugi questioned. The vampire nodded and continued to work his way trough a fried onion, pepper, and cheese omelet.
