~Emperor's Palace~

Atem sighed as he looked over the map in front of him. He was trying to pinpoint where the resistance camp was. A knock at the door came and in walked two of his guards, Mai and Anzu.

"Sorry to interrupt My Lord but our spies have found the camp," Mai said placing a hand on her hip.

"And where is it?" Atem asked turning to his guard.

"Right here an hour away from our suppliers camp," Mai said as she pointed to a spot on the map.

Atem nodded "I see, they intend to attack our camp to stop us?"

"Yes My Lord," Mai answered with a nod of her head.

Atem nodded and picked up a piece of paper, he placed it on the table. Mai picked it up only to find a paler version of Atem.

"The resistance leader?" Mai asked as she studied the photo.

"His name is Yami Moto, I want you to bring him here," Atem said glaring down at the photo. "If we can capture him, we can have an advantage over the humans."

"Dead or alive?" Anzu asked, her eyes glowing a soft red.

"Alive, he may be of use to us," Atem said glaring down at Anzu who nodded, her eyes returning to their teal colour.

"As you wish My Lord, we'll prepare to leave," Mai said with a bow.

"I'll join you shortly," Atem said as the two guards exited his study and went to prepare to leave.

A moment later, Atem's younger brother Heba walked into the room, he took one look at the photo Mai had placed back on the desk and turned to his brother.

"I take it you already have sent Mai and Anzu out?"

"Yes, capturing him can give us the advantage we need."

"Is that the only reason?" Heba asked eyeing his older brother.

"You know the other reason," Atem said standing up from behind his desk and turning to stare out the window.

"Mother and Father," Heba said softly, turning to stare at the portrait of their parents on the wall. They had been killed 10 years ago and Atem was forced to take the throne shortly after.

"Have Bakura and Marik prepare a cell, Mai and Anzu will return shortly," Atem said, Heba nodded.

"I'm sure they'll be happy about having a prisoner in the dungeon, haven't had one in a while," Heba said with a smile.

~Resistance Camp~

Yugi sighed as he sat beside Joey in the mess hall. Yugi had barely touched his food, Joey noticed and went to say something. However, a voice stopped him before he could.

"Yugi you really should eat," Ryou spoke quietly as he sat across from Yugi. Malik sat beside him and nodded in agreement.

"Ryou's right Yugi, you'll need your strength for tonight," Yugi sighed as his headache became worse than this morning,

"I need some air," he spoke quietly as he walked out of the mess hall. Yami frowned as he watched Yugi walk out of the mess hall, but he continued to speak with Leah and Sean knowing Yugi would want his space for now.

An hour later everyone was getting into their positions. Yami climbed onto his horse and noticed Yugi was zoned out. He headed over towards his brother who was playing with the hem of his sleeve.

"Yugi, what's wrong?" Yugi sighed.

"I have a bad feeling about tonight," Yami frowned knowing Yugi's instinct for bad moments had always come in handy, he gave a reassuring smile towards his brother.

"It's going to be alright," Yugi turned towards his brother with a frown

"How do you know?" Yami sighed.

"I don't. You just have to trust in the plan and our friends," Yugi nodded. Yami went to head towards the front but stopped and turned back towards Yugi.

"Yugi," Yugi's head snapped up and nodded showing Yami he was listening. "If something bad happens I want you to come find either me or Joey right away," Yugi sighed but nodded. Yami smiled and ruffled his brothers hair, hair that was so much like his own but wasn't. Yugi glared and fixed it making Yami smile. Leah called him back to the front line and Yami sent one last look to his brother and headed back beside Leah.

Yugi noticed Joey on his horse a few men down from him, Joey sent him a smile and Yugi smiled back. Malik was beside Joey and was speaking with another man beside him. Yugi smiled seeing Malik tease him about his girlfriend and the man blushing. Leah caught everyone's attention with a whistle.

"Let's get a move on!" she shouted and took off with everyone following behind her.

As the group got closer Yugi noticed smoke from the fire pits. Though he wondered why vampires needed fire pits if they didn't eat food or need warmth. Putting it aside Yugi focused his mind on the situation at hand. Leah stopped them a few feet away and they tied their horses so they wouldn't run and for a quick getaway.

"We'll group off here," Leah said as she handed out flares to the squad leaders. Yugi tightened his hand around the cold metal flare gun, he could feel his hands start to sweat.

"Everyone head out," Yami said giving a comforting smile to his brother before following after Leah and Sean. Yugi turned to Joey and the pair nodded before leading their squad towards the main camp.

"Everyone stay down, wait for the signal," Yugi said to his squad, the troops nodding and hiding amongst the trees and bushes while keeping an eye on the camp.

Meanwhile, Sean and Yami stopped just before the supply tents, a few vampires stood guard around them. Yami turned to a soldier behind him who carried a pack on his back.

"The explosives?"

"Right here sir," the soldier answered pulling the explosives out of his pack.

"Great, Emery, Thalia I want you to-"

"Sir!" Jason called out just as a red flare was shot into the air.

"What? What happened?" Yami asked as Jason ran up to him.

"It's a trap!" Jason announced, pushing Yami out of the way and blocking a vampire's sword with his own.

"So you're the traitor huh?" the vampire said with a grin. "Figured as much, halfling."

"Go help the other squads!" Jason yelled. Yami nodded and pulled out his sword, the other following suit and running into the camp.

"Yami!" Leah yelled as she, Yami, and Sean met up. "They set a trap."

"I know," Yami said as he slashed a vampire, slicing his head off.

"Filthy bloodsuckers," Sean cursed as he dodged a strike at him.

"Where's Yugi?"

"Probably with Joey," Leah answered huffing her bangs out of her eyes. "Last I saw at least."

Yami nodded and broke away from the group, running around trying to find his brother. His anxiety not getting any better as he moved to dodge slashes and strike being thrust towards him.

Yami clashed swords with a brunette female vampire, he eventually broke free and cut off her head. Yami grunted as another vampire rammed into him and the two rolled down the hill behind them. Yami's sword landed a few feet away from him, his eyes made contact with the glowing red eyes of the vampire, and noticed the ruby red pendant around his wrist. It was the same as the female he had just killed.

'He must be her mate' Yami knew about mated vampires. He knew that when two vampires were mates and if one was killed the other would gain the strength of the other.

Yugi had noticed Yami had fallen along with a vampire down the hill.

"Yami!" Yugi headed down the hill despite Leah and Sean yelling at him to stop. Yugi got to the bottom only to find Yami and the vampire clashing. The vampire suddenly stopped and turned towards Yugi, Yami noticed and used this opportunity to stab the vampire and then cut his head off. Yami turned towards Yugi with a frown

"What happened to staying near Joey?" Yami asked a little angry Yugi had disobeyed his orders. Yugi frowned and put his sword away, Yami sighed and also put his sword away.

Sean came down on his horse with another horse beside him, he had broken from the fight and had gone to fetch the horses.

"Sorry there's only one, we need the others to carry the wounded," Yami shrugged.

"It's alright" Yugi nodded and smiled. Yami climbed on top of the horse and Yugi climbed on behind him. The three of them started to make their way back towards the hill, however, a gunshot rang out and Yami's horse fell to the ground a bullet hole in its head. Yami was suddenly dragged upwards by his arm roughly by a strong vampire. Yugi watched in fear as his brother wrestled with the vampire trying to get free. Yami's cloak had gotten ripped off in the fight and lay on the ground somewhere.

The fight suddenly stopped as Yami was pinned down to the ground. His arms were held tightly behind his back held by the vampire's strong grip. Yami looked towards Sean who had been watching the scene in front of him. Yami nodded as best he could and Sean sighed before heading towards Yugi and pulled him up by his cloak and in front of him. Yugi struggled to get free wanting to help his brother get free.

"Sean we have to go back!" Yugi yelled watching Yami get farther and farther away. Sean sighed.

"Yugi we can't, Yami told me to protect you should anything go wrong. I intend to keep my promise."

Yami was suddenly pulled roughly up and dragged towards a large group. Yami recognized two female vampires as Mai and Anzu. The two had killed countless of their comrades in battles. Though so had many others. Yami was forced to kneel in front of the group. His hands had been handcuffed by cuffs behind his back, very tightly he might add. Mai and Anzu stood behind him on either side of him. Yami was tempted to turn around and kill them both, but alas his sword was confiscated and his hands were cuffed. Yami looked up only to meet eyes with the Royal Court of Emperor Atem Sennen. In total there were Six.

There was Priestess Isis, Priest Mahad, Priest Shada, Priest Karim, Priest Aknadin. The last and final member however surprised and disgusted Yami. The sixth member of the Royal Court was his and Yugi's cousin. Priest Seto. Seto had been banished from the resistance for releasing information regarding the resistance. Seto had been working for the vampires all along, Yugi was very young when Seto had been banished.

"Seto?" Yami called out, Seto turned from his conversation with Karim and his eyes widened slightly seeing his cousin. Yami noticed his cousin's eyes had a red tint to them. "So you're really one of them now huh?" Yami said coldly. Seto ignored his question and instead glared hatefully.

A man stepped forward with hair like Yami's, though instead of the magenta tips the man's had crimson tips. His skin was tan instead of pale like Yami. His eyes were crimson instead of purple like Yami's were. The man was dressed in clothing made of fine material, the crown on his head was a major hint to who he was. Emperor Atem Sennen of the vampire race and current ruler of Egypt. Yami glared at the man in front of him.

"Oh come now, what's with that glare," the man said with a smirk on his face. Yami growled as Atem stepped forwards and knelt down in front of him. The man grabbed his chin with two fingers and lifted his face up, purple eyes clashed with crimson.

"So you are the son of Thomas and Estelle Motou," Yami refused to answer and only instead glared at Atem. Atem glared back "I'm surprised you're with the resistance after all you could be of use to me, you hold valuable information after all," Yami pulled back releasing his chin from the man's grip

"In your dreams vampire," with that Yami spit in the man's face. Atem stood up with a growl and nodded at Mai and Anzu who smiled. Anzu held Yami while Mai hit him on the back of the head knocking him unconscious. Yami fell to the ground on his side his eyes closed. Atem chuckled and knelt down brushing a blonde bang out of Yami's face.

"Sooner or late you will answer me, I can promise you of that." Atem stood back up and turned to his court.

"My Lord?" Karim asked.

"Let's head back, Mai and Anzu I trust you two can handle him on the way back?" Anzu was about to object but Mai covered her mouth.

"Of course My Lord," Atem nodded. Mai released her hold in Anzu's mouth who turned and glared.

"What the hell was that for?"

"Unless you want to die I suggest you shut that face hole of yours and do as you're told, you don't know the Emperor like I do," Anzu scoffed.

"Oh please, we're childhood friends he wouldn't kill me," Mai rolled her eyes.

"I used to think that, before my friends turned against me and tried to kill me," Anzu's eyes widened and she opened her mouth to say something but kept quiet instead. "Come on we should load him into the carriage before they all leave without us."

~Resistance Camp~

Back at the camp, Yugi had locked himself in his and Yami's shared tent. He refused to come out even for food. Joey had tried to come in but Leah or Sean had stopped him saying Yugi needed to be by himself. Yugi had curled himself in Yami's bed, he buried himself in the blanket and hugged the pillow tight. The blankets and pillow still had Yami's scent on them which was cinnamon mixed with spice. Yugi had taken off his cloak and boots leaving him in his pants and shirt. Tears fell from his eyes as he lay on the bed. The curtain to the tent opened and in walked Leah who frowned at the sight. She walked over and rubbed Yugi's shoulder under the blanket

"How are you doing Yugi?" Yugi didn't answer instead he just curled up tighter and sniffled. Leah sighed. "I know how you feel, my friend was taken from me when we were younger before the resistance was formed," this caught Yugi's attention. He sat up and looked up at Leah.

"What happened after that?" Leah smiled gently. "I didn't see him for 2 years after that, however, 2 years ago I found him in the woods helping people escape," Leah ruffled Yugi's hair under the blanket. "I promise we'll get Yami back, but until then I need you to be strong okay?" Yugi nodded and hugged Leah. Leah smiled and hugged him back running her fingers through his hair calming him down.

"Leah?"

"Yes?

"Thank you," Yugi said softly, wiping his tears away.

"Yugi," Yugi looked up at Leah who smiled. "You know, your group needs a leader since Yami's gone." Yugi frowned.

"Are you sure I have to?" Leah frowned.

"Yugi you're Yami's brother which makes you next in line to lead them, we need someone," Yugi sighed but nodded.

"Alright, I'll do it," Leah smiled and nodded.

"Alright, now get some sleep," Yugi nodded and crawled out of Yami's bed and into his own. Leah made Yami's bed and turned to leave, however, a tug on her cloak stopped her. Leah turned back towards Yugi who had a blush in his cheeks.

"What is it Yugi?" Leah asked with a smile.

"Will you sing to me? Yami always did when I couldn't sleep," Leah smiled and nodded.

"Of course I will," Leah kneeled next to Yugi and started humming lightly while running her fingers through his hair. Yugi soon fell asleep with one thought in his mind.

'Yami. I will find you. I promise. My Brother'
