Aqua girl 007: I'm sorry about taking so long with this one. I got too caught up with my stories and other things.

Youngbountygirl: This was done by Aqua Girl. As she explained, she was trying to finish her other stories and I was trying to finish To The Unknown. Go figure huh? Anyways enjoy!

Joey and Marik were having their little wolf feud with growling, attacking with their teeth and claws, and trying to pin one down. Marik seemed to have more of the upper hand, being more familiar with being a wolf and how to fight. Despite this, Joey was hoping that with his fighting skills from growing up on the streets, he could take Marik down. Mostly, Joey would avoid Marik's pouncing or trying to bite him, so he could wait for the perfect attack.

Joey was thrown into the bushes, hiding himself. He could sense Marik's location from his movement from the little opening in the bushes.

'I know where you're hiding, Joey! You can't hide from an old pro!' Marik smirked through the wolf mind link. Joey had forgotten that they had a wolf link. Though, that didn't matter, because he had an idea.

All of a sudden, Joey pounced on Marik, who stood up on his front feet to avoid the bite. The two wolves fell and rolled around, then Joey climbed over Marik's back, biting the upper part of the front left leg. Marik screeched in pain and rolled Joey off him. They both panted as Joey smiled victoriously on the bloody bite on Marik's upper front leg.

'Now, we're even!' Joey said victoriously.

'Fair enough,' Marik grumbled in defeat as the two wolves morphed back into their human forms. He checked his left arm and saw a huge bite on his upper left arm with blood oozing from it. "Shit Joey!" He clamped his hand on the bleeding arm.

"Serves you right for being an asshole! You can take that and kiss my ass!" Joey smirked as Marik shot him a glare and a growl.

"You win this time nub, but mark my words, I will get you next time!"

"Good luck with that!"

Joey and Marik walked together on their way to Maria's place. They weren't too far from the house, so it wasn't a long walk. Everyone else was inside the house: Maria, Ishizu, Remu, Duke, Ryou, Serenity, Odion and now Tea and Yugi. Since Tea knew about the werewolves, it was time to face her. This was exactly what Marik wanted to avoid.

Marik swung the door open, feeling greatly annoyed. The boys turned and gawked up laughing at the bleeding bite mark on him. Even Yugi was trying hard not to laugh. Tea, on the other hand, was greatly horrified. She was not used to being around werewolves.

Marik washed the blood off, leaving a red mark in its place. Maria helped dry Marik's arm while everyone else, besides Ishizu and Tea, were laughing their guts off.

"I can't believe I lost to a damn nub," Marik groaned.

"Look on the bright side, you can fight an opponent about the same level as you next time, like my grandma," Remu said, laughing his head off. Everyone else was laughing with him.

"Isn't she dead?" Duke said, questioning his logic.

"That's the point," Remu said before the two boys started to laugh again.

"SHUT THE F*** UP!" Marik snapped, boiling red in anger.

Yugi started to laugh. He knew the boys really weren't going to kill each other. In fact, he knew of their fast healing. When Seto told Yami and Yugi about the werewolves, he mentioned about their ability to heal wounds in only five minutes. In fact, learning about the werewolves was one of the reasons why Yami decide to move to Domino City near the territory where the werewolves lived. The werewolves would keep Yugi safer than Yami could himself.

"Marik watch your language!" Ishizu scolded with folded arms and Marik groaned at that, still angry about what just happened.

Ishizu appeared dressed in her normal jeans and a black T-shirt. Her hair had been cut short medium size since her change. Tea had noticed this when she first came through the door. She couldn't hide the shock from her eyes, especially since she hadn't seen Ishizu in years. The shoulder length hair made it easier for her wolf form to run and hide. The only reason Duke kept his hair long was to attract girls.

"How can you laugh when Marik's arm is bleeding shit?" Tea asked angily.

"Relax, werewolves are the fastest healers in Japan! Even with a broken arm, it'll just heal up in three days. This prevents any hospital visits, so they don't question about our high temperature," Duke assured with a smirk across his lips. He took Marik's arm, where it was bitten, showing that the bite mark that was now gone. "See?"

"Off me!" Marik snapped, snatching his arm away.

"Don't worry, I still love you," Maria reassured with a teasing smile. Even she thought the idea of Marik being beaten by a new wolf was hilarious.

"Same here," Marik said before he planted a kiss on her lips.

Marik sat on the couch beside his girlfriend and across Tea. Marik felt a pang of guilty. He never saw Tea in ages, since he blew up at her years ago. He still remembered it. He had returned from 'running away' and Tea demanded to know where he was and why he ran off. Marik tried to explain to his friend the best that he could, especially since most of it was not believable, but Tea wouldn't listen. She did try to apologize later on, but Marik was still mad about the way she reacted last time. Marik never gave her a chance after that.

It was best now for Marik to try to start all over, especially since Tea already knew the werewolf secret anyways.

"Look Tea I'm sorry about not talking to you. Alot of shit was happening in my life and... I was still trying to control my anger. Werewolves tend to have... emotional issues. To be honest, after you snapped at me I was afraid you wouldn't believe me or speak to me again anyways, so I avoided you."

"Well, I took it rather well didn't I?" Tea said sarcastically and Marik snorted at her comment.

"Sorta. You did scream when you saw me change," Joey reminded Tea with a smirk across his face as she shot daggers at the blond.

"Maybe you were both wrong," Ishizu said before Marik and Tea shifted their gazes towards her. "Tea may have been too harsh on her judgments and not listened to both sides of the story. Marik, from what I can see, you were too stubborn and aggressive."

The more Marik thought about it, his sister was right. He was being stubborn about talking to Tea ever again, even after gaining more control over his emotions, and aggressive due to still being angry about how Tea snapped at him.

Tea seemed to feel the same way. Maybe she was too harsh on Marik. After all, he was trying to make it up to his friend. It wasn't like it was Marik's fault. He became something he never saw or heard of. If anything, he was probably scared shitless when transforming. At least with Joey, he had Yugi. Marik didn't have anybody. Not even his friends.

Marik let a sigh escape him. "My sister's right. I'm sorry for treating you like shit."

"It's alright," Tea replied honestly. "And I'm sorry for acting like a bitch."

Smirking, Joey lends back on the couch and put his hands behind his head. "So, are you going to thank me?"

Annoyed, Marik made a threatening growl and Joey rolled his eyes at that.

Suddenly, Yugi felt something vibrating in his pocket. Pulling his cell out of his pocket, Yugi looked down at the screen to see a message on the screen which said, 'vampires in Domino.' His eyes widened while holding onto his cell phone with his mouth gaping open. Everyone stared at him with confusion in their stares.

Tea looked at the message on Yugi's cell phone and her eyes also widened. She saw 'Yami' as the one who sent the message.

"Vampires in Domino? Here?" Tea asked in horror as the werewolves, besides Joey, glared.

"What did the bloodsucker tell ya?" Marik asked.

"They're here," Yugi replied, then looked up at the others. "The wide spread of vampires spreading in Japan, they're in Domino City!"

Everyone's eyes widened in shock. Maria suddenly froze stiff in place.
