Chapter 1
100 years ago…there was peace. Harmony and balance described the world that existed in those days. Human and creatures of the dark coexisted in tranquility in the land. But like all good things, this came to a violent end. No one really knows what had happened…only the legends speak of Master clans among the creatures that linger about. Three names stand out amongst these…the three grand duelists: Mutuo, Kaiba and Jonouichi…and claim that they along with their kin, shall raise again to bring about a new age of equality.

Jaden slept quietly in his dorm room. He felt around to feel his surroundings. He opened his chocolate brown eyes and took in the moonlight. He groaned and took a deep breath, it was another beautiful night…another boring day had gone by without a hitch. He looked over at the alarm clock; 1:30 am. It was much too early for breakfast, heck the staff was quite asleep at that hour…even that bastard of a chancellor would be in La-la Land…Jaden tried to sleep, but to no avail…it was as if someone called out to him to leave. He snuck off his shirt and took another long breath. The night was truly enchanting, the moon glowing like a white sun and the stars flickered on and on.

He suddenly felt invisible hands caress his bare chest; silent kisses drop on his back, glass shards pierce his flesh. "Let me go…whatever you are!" he demanded as the creature licked the navel of his neck. Syrus woke up with a start and looked down. He stared as something bite Jaden's shoulder and render him unconscious. He grabbed a pillow and yelled, "Bite something your own size!" and threw the pillow right to the face. The creature let go of its prey and ripped the pillow into shreds, causing a maelstrom of goose feathers. In the confusion, Syrus grabbed Jaden and hid them behind the three-floor bunk bed, hoping that Chumley wouldn't wake up. Fortunately, the boy slept like a rock, so no worries there. "Come out, kiddies! I just want to play," A relatively young voice smirked as Syrus held Jaden close. He felt the tears swell in his eyes and let them flow down his face onto his near dead friend. He felt the blood squish and drip on his small hands. He hoped that death would be swift. Suddenly he felt a cold gentle hug come from behind. He couldn't see who it was, but his voice gave him reassurance. "Rex, quit it! You're scaring the poor things to death," it said. The other creature called Rex straightened and chuckled before saying, "C'mon! I need to feed every once in a while."
"You fed last night."
"Well I am a growing vampie, eh Leon?"

"You bit right to bone!"
"Sorry! Remind me to fuck you better next time!"
Leon held the boys close and kept quiet. "Forgive my lover, he has no self control. My name is Leon Schroder," he said as he sat down. Syrus relaxed and fell asleep…last thing he heard was "Damn it Rex! Why did you spell him?"

"WAKE UP YOU!" Chumley's voice boomed. Jaden woke up groggily. "What hour is it?" he asked with a cut voice.

"Gee I dunno, maybe 10:30 am!"

"What! What about Syrus? And class?"
"Dude, you're in the hospital wing. People were saying you two were dead. Blood and gore all over the place."
"What about Syrus?" Jaden asked worriedly. Chumley looked down at the floor and murmured, "He didn't make it."
"HE WHAT?"
"When they found you…well, he's at the autopsy area of the hospital."
Jaden got off the bed and ran as fast as he could to the Autopsy. His heart sunk as he saw as they placed the white blanket over that gentle face he came to cherish. He could almost see him breathe and blink his eyes…to wake up again…He was dead…"SY!" he yelled as he punched the acrylic glass. Tears swelled up as he stared at the corpse. He could see the cold dried blood on his neck, bite marks and trails of crimson envelope his tiny wrists. Someone had killed him in cold blood. Jaden fell to his knees and whimpered. Another figure ran down the hall towards him. It was Zane, Syrus' older brother, and he didn't looked good. "Jaden is it true?" he asked in a broken cold voice. Jaden didn't dare look up and nodded. He tiredly got up and started to walk away when he heard Zane's yells and cries. That thing Rex killed him…and he was going to pay dearly for that.
