Alright! I finally got access to the Internet...just for a bit.

Yugi: So here's a special update for PhantomBrat's loyal readers.

Hope you all enjoy. XP

Yugi happily chewed on a pretzel stick that Bobby had given him to tide the toddler over until dinner. His amethyst eyes focused on Dean and Sam. The brothers were watching the movie that Atem felt was alright for Yugi to watch. Dropping his snack, Yugi made his way over to Sam, "Cold."

Sam lifted Yugi into his lap and nearly cried in shock when he felt how cold Yugi's skin was. Luckily he held it in as Yugi snuggled into his lap and let out a small yawn. Dean watched as the Hikari's eyes drifted shut. "You get all the luck, Sammy," he teased.

"Stuff it Dean," Sam replied. "The kid's ice cold."

Atem entered at that moment. "Hopefully the heaters will be completely repaired by tomorrow afternoon. I'm sorry that Yugi's cold, but his body can't take the cold very well. We've discovered that like others of vampiric blood, they do tend to get tired and sleep more. I'm surprised that he's lasted this long."

"Why do you say that," Dean asked.

"Usually Yugi falls asleep before one when he's cold. It take some effort to wake him for dinner." Atem carefully took his brother from Sam and carried him over to a nearby couch. "I'm going to have to warm him up, so please try to leave the heater pointed at him. Just make sure to turn it up one notch every half hour or so."

Dean watched as Atem set the heater up and pointed it towards the small child. Yugi let out a soft coo as a light blanket was laid on him.

Shai was growing impatient as he watched his master fawning over the boy he had captured for him. The Tracker wanted an order to collect the other two boys and bring them to him. Dartz guided his new 'pet' to one of the chairs in his rather large dining room. "Roux, just sit there and be a good pet," Dartz stated as he took his own seat at the head of the table. "I may even feed you."

"Master," Shai started, "shall I take my leave to retrieve the other two targets?"

Dartz looked up from his goblet of blood and set it down. "You may go, Shai. But before you leave, tell me, have you had any more of your attacks?"

Shai shook his head, his shadows flickering at the motion as if they were flames, "I have not, Master."

"Good. Now go, Shai," Dartz waved him off.

Hermione held out a Vampire-made Bloodpop for Yugi to take. The toddler looked at the treat and reached for it. The second it was in his mouth, Yugi pulled it out and made a grossed-out face. "Yucky!"

Ron shook his head in amusement, "First time I've seen a vampire turn a Bloodpop meant for them down before."

Before anyone could react, Yugi reached for the closest container of water and downed most of it. Atem paled when he realized that he had just drank Holy Water, "Who left that where Yugi could get it!"

Joey raised his hand slowly. "Mariku asked for it so that he could make Yugi's medicine later and that was for him."

"Why, what'll happen," the young witch asked.

Moments later she received her answer. Yugi wanted to play and took off hollering that he wanted to play hide-and-seek. Atem had Atemu and Akefia quickly place a barrier around the mansion to keep the child from going outside. Atem gave everyone a floor or wing to search for the hyper toddler, "Make sure you check everywhere. Yugi is an expert at hiding in even the smallest of places. If you see a mess, don't follow it unless you have someone else with you as it is likely a false lead. When you find Yugi, tell him that I have a treat for him in my lab and that he has to follow you in order to get it."

Yugi had made ten false leads, four that actually lead to where he was headed, and had curled up in the top of the linen closet in his Mau form as the effects of the Holy Water began wearing off. The sudden low and the cold were making him tired and the warm blankets were too comfy to stay awake. The child was excited when he discovered that he could go from one spot in the mansion to another as long as the places had the same lighting level.

Yugi slept soundly, unaware of the frantic search that was going on for him.

The three Daywalkers were tracking Yugi's scent through the mansion as everyone else searched for him. Atemu caught a whiff of Yugi's scent in the East Wing on the second floor near the library before it suddenly stopped in said room. He tried to find the toddler in the room of books but stopped when he realized that the trail had ended not four feet into the library. The ancient vampire shook his head and raised the walkie-talkie up, "I want to know which rooms have lights on."

After ten minutes of checking, Atemu managed to make a map of the mansion. He had twelve rooms, the kitchen, dining room, the two dens, and five hallways with lights on and the rest were dark. There were fourteen total mess-trails between the first and fourth floors, a few were closest to Yugi's own room and sanctuary. Atemu shook his head as Akefia, Mariku, Isis, and Mahaad entered the library.

"We've tried to track his scent, but it seems to vanish at various points," Mahaad stated.

Atemu looked up from his map, "He's learned to walk the Paths of Light and Shadows on his own. I seem to have narrowed it down to somewhere near Yugi's rooms. Alert Atem and the others that we need to check that area thoroughly."

Atem held Mokuba up to look in the top of the closet for Yugi. The preteen called down, "I found him! Looks like he fell asleep though."

"Can you get him out," Bakura asked as he helped steady Atem.

"Yeah. I just need someone to catch him."

Mokuba took Yugi out of the closet and nearly dropped the sleeping Hikari. Mahaad caught the Mau and handed him to Atemu. "He looks bigger," Mariku stated.

Atemu checked Yugi over and let out a sigh of relief, "I think the enchantment wore off."

Atem decided to verify Atemu's statement and led the way to his lab. After measuring and weighing Yugi, Atem placed the slumbering Mau on the bed. "According to records, Yugi's Mau form is at its normal length and weight," he stated. Atem looked at Mahaad, "I suggest that you refrain from using that spell anywhere near Yugi in the future."

So I am still have limited access to the Internet until further notice. But as a reward for everyone's patience, I am working on a NEW fanfic. Ryou...

Ryou: Right. PhantomBrat has been working on a Yu-Gi-Oh story involving Ancient Egypt and mythical creatures. She vows that once she has Internet services back, a new chapter to this story will be posted weekly.

Hopefully it will be completed by then. I'm also working on 'Haunted', 'Please Accept Me' and contemplating rewriting 'Fractured'. The POV switches is confusing.

Yugi: Tell me about it.

Mokuba: Until next time!
