Wolf: Well here it comes.

Akami: The next chapter is this story.

Wolf: Yep and this is where Yugi's fate is determined if he will live or die.

Akami: Oh yea, excitement.

Wolf: Also I decided to add myself into this story as well at my fried KiraKat13, aka Kat. We don't have a giant roll, but we do have a roll later on in the story that is kind of big, I guess. Anyway onward.

Chapter 3: Leader Dartz

Yami pulled into the driveway of the mansion and stopped at the front. Yami got out of the car with Seto, who grabbed Yugi from the back. Yami tossed the car keys to another vampire by the front door, who took the car to put it away. Yami opened the door to the mansion with Seto still having a hold on Yugi. They entered the mansion with Yami leading the way.

Yugi looked around the mansion foyer witch was where vampires were moving all around. From coming out of the two doors on each side of the bottom part of the foyer. There was two staircases on each side of the foyer that connected at the top of each walkway on each side of the multiple doors along them. Then there was hallways that lead back further into the mansion. (A/N: I was going along the lines of like the Haunted Mansion, but a bit nicer.)

They continued to walk forward, until they got to the pair of twin doors that was in between the stairs. There was two female vampire guards blocking the way. One had short brown hair and brown eyes with a medium body, she was dressed in a all black shirt, pants, and a trench coat. She had a gun at her side and a sword on her back. The other female was a bit shorter then the other and she had blond hair and green eyes with a slight build, she was also dressed in black with a tight black shirt and pants and boots that came to about her shins. She also had a gun, but had two swords on her back instead of one.

Yami stopped in front of them. They each drew a sword and made an X in front of them.

"Stop there." The blond warned.

"What's your business here Yami?" The brown haired said.

Yami chuckled at them.

"Don't worry girls. I just need to talk to Dartz about something." Yami said.

The blond put the swords blade to Yami's neck.

"You have to discuss it with us before you go to Dartz." She growled.

"Kat, don't be so dramatic. They can go through." The brown haired told her.

The blond, Kat, looked back at her.

"I'm not being dramatic, Wolf. I'm following orders. You sould to." Kat said.

Wolf walked up next to Kat and pointed her sword to Yami as well.

"Explain." Wolf ordered.

Yami sighed, seeing he would have to do the usual.

"I have to talk to Dartz about a human we found." Yami told them.

Wolf looked over Yami's shoulder to see Seto, who still had Yugi by the arm.

"Alright. You can see Dartz." Wolf said.

Both put their swords back. They went to the double doors and opened them. They lead the vampires and human forward into what was the throne room.

Yugi looked around the stone room that was covered in colors of red, gold, and light blue. He looked forward at the throne and finally got to get a look at the leader of the vampires, he was kind of scary looking for Yugi. He had long bluish green hair pulled into a ponytail, he wore a while outfit with green cloth around his shoulders. He had his eyes closed, his arms and legs were crossed. He almost looked like he was asleep.

When they stopped in front of him, Kat and Wolf got on one knee in front of the throne steps.

"Leader Dartz, Yami and Seto have brought a human." Kat started.

"He needs his fate to be known." Wolf finished.

Dartz's eyes snapped open.

Yugi froze as he stared at the one green eye and one hazel eye of the vampire.
"A human?" Dartz questioned.

Yami grabbed Yugi and pulled him forward.

"He saw us fight the werewolves and gargoyles that invaded our territory. We found him and found out he saw us. So we brought him to you to see what to do with him." Yami explained.

"We think he could be a key." Seto added.

Dartz just stared at the three. He uncrossed his arms and legs then stood from his throne. He walked forwards towards Yugi, going past Wolf and Kat who stood up as he past. Yugi felt himself holding his breath when Dartz got closer to him.

"No need to be scared. I wont hurt you." Dartz told him.

Yugi calmed a little.

Dartz circled Yugi and stopped back in front of him. Yugi couldn't looked at him in the eyes and put his gaze downwards. Dartz grabbed his chin and made him look at him. Yugi just stared into Dartz's eyes. Dartz then let him go.

"If you are to be around us human, Yugi, you must know what is going on." Dartz said.

Yugi was surprised Dartz knew his name since no one said it.

"I've been around a long time. So I know things. I'm old and wise I guess you could say." Dartz told him, like he read his mind.

Dartz turned back around and walked back to his throne. Once he sat down, he waved for Yugi to walk forward a little. Yugi walked forward a little until he stood in between Kat and Wolf.

"Yugi, you must know about the war." Dartz started.

"War?" Yugi questioned.

"Yes. For about 500 years we creatures of the night have been at war with each other. Its mostly been us vampires, werewolves, and gargoyles. This war has been going on for a long time." Dartz explained.

"Then what do I have to do with being here?" Yugi wondered.

"Well with you knowing about us and the war, it would distract the other creatures to think of plans to get to you, but we would get to them first." Dartz said.

Yugi didn't like being put in a dangerous situation.

"Don't worry about being in danger Yugi. I'll have someone look over you." Dartz reassured him.

"Like a guard?" Yugi guessed.

"Exactly. Now someone might volunteer or I'll have to force them. I'm not sure who would be the best to watch over you though." Dartz said.

There was a silence in the room once Dartz said that.

Then Yami stepped forward.

"I'll watch over him Master Dartz." Yami volunteered.

Everyone turned towards Yami.

"Yami? Well if there's anyone better it would have to be you." Dartz smiled.

Yami bowed at Dartz, "I promise to keep him safe." Yami promised.

Dartz nodded.

Yami put an arm around Yugi's shoulders.

"Come Yugi, I'll take you home." Yami said.

Yugi nodded.

Yami lead the way and they started to walk away.

"Remember Yami, he's your responsibility. If anything happens to him, its your head." Dartz reminded him with a growl.

Yami looked over his shoulder.

"I understand Master Dartz." Yami said.

Yami then lead Yugi out of the throne room. Dartz turned to Wolf, Kat, and Seto.

"You may all leave. Go on your way." Dartz ordered.

Seto bowed and left the room, but Kat and Wolf stood for a moment.

"Can we go to our room now Master Dartz?" Kat asked.

"Oh no." Wolf thought.

"Of course you may. You don't need to be around right now. Go get your rest." Dartz said.

"Thank you sir." Kat said with a bow.

Kat grabbed Wolf by the arm and pulled her out of the room.

"Why must you sir?" Wolf whined when she was dragged out of the room.

Dartz only chuckled at the two.

"Those two are always funny." Dartz thought.

Wolf: Well there you go.

Akami: Hope you liked.

Wolf: R & R until the next chapter.
