Zypher: Well, I thought about a change in what I was writing. I realized I have so many demon related stories so I thought about writing one with vampires. Since I don't feel like writing more notes, here's my newest story, Bloody Hearts.
Disclaimer: Does it look like I have the money to own Yu-gi-oh? No? Then I don't own it. (Zypher: I also may add a character from FF7 into the story. Why? Because I've been playing it for a while and writing this makes me want to add my favorite character in it so no suing for him either.)
Warning (this goes for all chapters): There may be lots of blood and gore in future chapters, still pending though. And of course the occasional lemon scenes. I'm warning you now, if you don't like lemons between two men then leave now and forever hold your peace.
Prologue: In Domino City, vampires roamed the streets, looking for prey, using their deadly beauty to drag mortals to their doom. Only a circle of well-trained hunters could stop them. But when the most powerful vamp shows up in the city, he puts his sights on young Yugi after seeing him for the first time. What will he do and will his friends and so-called leader help him when he needs it?

"It's very quiet around here. Are you sure this is the place?" Yugi questioned. "I'm sure this is the right place. Would I ever steer you wrong?" Their leader and the most annoying of their circle, Anzu, stated. "Yeah, you steered us the right way a lot of times." Jounouchi muttered. "Shut up and be quiet! I think I hear something." she hissed and he just glared at her back. "How did she ever become leader 'gain?" Jounouchi whispered to the others. "Majority vote from the other hunters since she had the highest marks in training. Of course, they never thought about seeing Yugi train. He was so much better compared to her." Malik replied as he stood behind Jounouchi, waiting for Anzu to make the signal to attack.
"Let's not start this again. I know I'm better at hunting vampires than her most of the time but I don't have the will to be a leader if I can't even attack the vampire myself." Yugi murmured softly. "Don't worry, you'll get your chance soon enough." Topaz stated. "Will you all be quiet?!" Anzu hissed before she went further into the room. "Ah, so a hunters' circle had the gall to come after me, the second-best female vampire in this city? Hah! You make me laugh." A woman claimed as she appeared from the shadows.
"Illustria. Do you not know how long it takes to find you?" Anzu huffed as she pulled out a gun, ready to shoot the vampire in the heart. "Oh really? You think I'm hard to find, just wait. I heard the most powerful vamp will be making his way here. If you think I'm the second best, he's the master. Especially with his magic." she explained and dodged as Anzu shot at her. "Don't worry, we'll be prepared for him but for now, we'll take you out." Anzu said as she continued to try and shoot the vampire but she kept dodging before she came in for the attack.
She knocked Anzu out the way and aimed for Yugi since he was trembling in fear, making no move to raise his weapon. "We got your back, Yugi!" Jounouchi cried as he took out some throwing daggers and went to throw them at her. The woman easily slapped them away, hissing as she was cut by the few she missed. "You will pay!" Illustria snarled as she used some of her magic to throw them far away from Yugi. "No! Guys! Are you alright?!" Yugi cried to them. "Don't worry! We're fine but you won't be if you don't raise your weapon, Yugi!" Topaz yelled. Illustria grinned as she was ready to slash at Yugi's terrified form but screamed in pain as an arrow hit her in her heart and she fell mid-lunge, coughing up blood.
"You will pay...who dares to shoot me?!" she screamed as she looked around. A shadowed figure jumped down from the banisters of the warehouse they were in and Ryou smiled. "Only Diamond, the best crossbow user in our circle." Ryou replied and Yugi smiled as he moved away from the vampire as she tried to grab at him. "You will all pay. Once Yami arrives, he will make you all pay!" she screeched before she withered away into dust. Anzu got up and looked to Diamond. "Nice of you to join us, Diamond." Anzu snapped as she dusted the dirt off her clothes.
"It's not her fault; she was helping me out with taking down a vamp named Hoshu downtown. She knew I was in trouble." Another voice called. Yugi quickly got up and ran over to the figure. "Vincent! I thought you would never come back!" Yugi said happily as he hugged the taller man. "You know I wouldn't leave you alone, Yugi. Your grandfather entrusted his life to me in protecting you." Vincent spoke. The others except Anzu smiled as they got up from the floor. "Well Valentine, are you planning to stay with our circle for now?" Kaiser asked. "Of course, I heard what she said and knowing Anzu's horrible leadership, you'll be needing my help." Vincent whispered to them and they laughed softly.
"I heard that and frankly, I think you're not even prepared to take on Yami like moi. So I suggest you leave him to me!" Anzu grumbled before leaving out the warehouse. "She's so stubborn. Soon that will be her downfall." Ryou murmured as they left out the warehouse as well.

In another part of the city, a male that held the same features as Yugi watched as the people walked around in the middle of the night. He was on the hunt for some good blood but it seemed that no one interested him. 'None of these humans have the kind of blood that I want.' he thought as he left that side of town, hopping from one building to the next with ease. As he was getting close to where most of the low-ranked hunters roamed, he felt a small jolt of light energy floating in the air and stopped, trying to trace where such energy was coming from. 'In all my life, I never thought I would sense light energy.' he thought before he started to follow the direction where the energy was coming from.
When he finally got a strong trace, he looked down from the rooftops and gasped lightly when he saw a small teen that almost resembled him walking with his circle. 'Well, this is truly a sight. Who knew I had a small look alike. Too bad he's a hunter.' Yami thought. 'But maybe I can still meet him in secrecy.' he continued as he followed them home, masking his own aura so they wouldn't sense his presence.

When they got home, they all headed to their shared rooms, Anzu being the only that had her own room. Yugi sat on his bed as Vincent took his cloak off and placed it on a nearby chair. "Vincent, do you think we will be able to defeat Yami?" Yugi asked. "I don't know Yugi. From what I heard, he is a very powerful vampire with the skill to take down anyone, vampire or hunter, with a single charge of his dark aura. We'll have to be careful so if we ever encounter him so I want you to stay behind if we do. I don't want you to get hurt." Vincent said and Yugi nodded.
"I don't know why I agreed to become a hunter. I can't even stand on my own without fear. When I see a vampire, I just freeze up, leaving me open for an attack." Yugi whispered. "Don't say that, Yugi. Diamond said the same thing once to me before she learned to become a silent hunter and that raised her skill as a hunter immensely. And we all couldn't find a better partner than her." Vincent said as he went to sit beside Yugi. "Still, I think I should just quit all this hunting business. I can't hunt very well and the first person to come and rub it in my face is Anzu." Yugi muttered. Vincent pulled him into a hug.
"Don't worry, Yugi. She will get what's coming to her soon enough. She may be leader to our circle but her pompous attitude will lead her to her fate." Vincent murmured and Yugi nodded, laying his head against his chest as he stroked his back, lulling him to sleep. (Zypher: Before you guys come at me with pitchforks and torches, this is not a Vincent/Yugi paring. I just realized that I made Vincent a little too OOC so for now on, he will treat Yugi like a little brother and may or may not have the ability to change into the monsters that are his limit breaks on FF7, still pending)
Once Yugi was asleep, he placed him under the warm blankets before heading to his own bed. Outside, Yami watched them with a hint of jealousy which he surprised himself to feel such emotion. 'I couldn't have fell for the boy that fast. There's no way how a high-ranking vampire such as I could fall for this hunter.' Yami thought as he quietly opened the window and slipped inside, keeping his aura masked as he walked over to Yugi's bedside. He couldn't help but run a hand through his hair lightly as he gazed down at him. 'But maybe some things can be true...' he continued to caress Yugi's face lightly before leaving once more, seeing as it was getting close to dawn.
"We will meet again, little one. And one day, I will find out if these feelings of love are true and if they could be returned." Yami whispered as the wind whipped past him while he jumped back to where he stayed.
