Chapter: 10

Tara was in her room and sitting on her bed. She heard a knock on the door and she answered the door. Her heart sank when she saw Walter C. Dorneaz in the doorway.

Walter stepped in with a package in his hand. "I apologize for intruding on you Miss La Moure." He said calmly. "But Alucard said that you would be here. Miss Integra has suddenly gone missing and this was left for you."

Tara took the package and could smell vampire all over it. She cautiously opened the package.

Inside were videotape, a small Ankh Chip, and information cards.

"Strange." Walter muttered. "I didn't know England was having another regional tournament."

"No." Tara hissed. "It smells of vampire." She took the tape and popped it into her TV.

Miu's apartment

Miu walked in with three packages. She was confused and wondered why. She knew Sugoroku and Anzu suddenly disappeared and Yugi and Atemu were staying with her for a while, but it did not make sense to her. "Nii-san!" She called. "Yugi! I have got something for you two!"

Yugi and Atemu hurried into the living room.

Miu handed them their packages and opened hers. "That is weird." She muttered. She could smell a vampire and knew it was something bad.

Yugi had videotape in his package with a small Ankh Chip. He saw Miu and Atemu pull out a similar chip and information cards. He stared at the tape in his hand. "I have a bad feeling." He announced.

"Pop in the tape and let us find out." Miu said.

Yugi did as he was told.

Kaiba Corp.

Seto Kaiba found it odd that he got a package. He did not want to open it, but opened it anyway.

Inside were videotape and a small Ankh Chip with information cards.

Kaiba put the tape into the video cassette player and pressed play. He fell into horror and yelled, "Mokuba!"

Jounochi's apartment

Jounochi had gotten a weird package in the mail. He opened it and found videotape, a small Ankh Chip, and info cards. He popped in the tape and waited. His eyes grew wide with horror. "What?" He shouted. "Shizuka!"

Miu's apartment

"Grandpa!" Atemu and Yugi called. "Anzu!"

Miu stared in horror. Then she snarled and growled like a cat as her eyes turned green and her pupils became slits like a cat's.

The picture left Sugoroku and Anzu, who were unconscious, and showed a girl shrouded in darkness, but her crimson eyes were visible. "As you can see," she mocked, "I have those close to you." She had to have been seventeen by how she sounded. "I, Yukie, am also hosting a tournament in two weeks, and if you don't attend—they will die."

Atemu and Yugi got angry. "That bitch." Yugi hissed.

His language surprised Miu and she stared at him with shock. Nii-san probably rubbed off on him somehow. She thought.

The tape ran out of time and went black.

"She is giving us two weeks." Atemu muttered. "Yugi and I will have homework for sure."

The joys of going to a university. Thought Miu. After being in high school, you guys are going to Domino University of Fine Arts and Nii-san majors better than Yugi. "I know Nii-san." She said. "But we apparently have no choice in the matter. We have to save Anzu and Sugoroku."

Hotel

Tara stared blankly at the black screen. "It's been ages since the last tournament I was in." She said flatly. "I guess I can brush the dust off my deck."

The tape had showed Sir Integra unconscious before the shrouded seventeen-year-old girl with crimson eyes explained briefly about the threat.

"Walter," announced Tara, "I might have to bring Alucard with me."

"I understand Miss La Moure." Walter replied. He bowed. "I am glad to know that you are safe." He turned and left.

It was annoying to the young Nephilim that Walter, Hellsing's family butler, called her "Miss La Moure" and Sir Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing "Miss Integra." However, it was not her place to question Walter anymore than it was her place to question Sir Integra. Of course, she had been missing for five years.

Tara began to change.

dragonchild247: Ok. I know. I was told in person by some people who read this (my friends mind you). I didn't have a single duel in this story. I only made a reference about the Dungeon Dice Monsters game created by Ryuji Otogi (Duke Devlin) in Werecat Days. Look, I understand perfectly about not having a duel and I pretty much made Atemu a pussy after meeting Tara La Moure. Let me tell you now. I am not the best writer with duels. I'm the lowest rookie in Duel Monsters, but I am learning how to duel. I do have video games from YGO but that is not the same as dueling real people.
