Aqua Girl 007: Anyways here's the next chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Youngbountygirl: This was done by me. Good thing I'm fast at updating. Enjoy!

Yugi stared at the message he got from his brother. He pressed reply and typed in, 'U need help? I'm with warwolvz' before sending it, then turned his ring volume up. He brought his legs up to his chin and held them tightly. He stared down at the floor with furrowed eyebrows. He was scared. His brother was out there fighting the hoard and he couldn't be there for him.

"Yugi, what's going on?" Tea asked, terrified by this too.

"You know how Yami's a vampire? Well... he kinda had to lie about why he was leaving Domino City. There's a wide spread of vampires raging out of control. They're killing or changing humans. Yami left to help my cousin Seto fight the hoard," Yugi explained in a quiet tone. His eyes closed. "He told me to stay for Joey and because I was safer with the werewolves."

"Wait, he let you stay because of us?" Duke asked in pure shock.

"He... kinda likes you guys for protecting humans. I tried telling ya that my brother is not what you think. He wants me safe. Anyways, my guess is that he must've been fighting the hoard as the vampires hit Domino."

Yugi heard his cell phone ring and answered it, "hello?"

Yami was panting, saying, "tell the werewolves to be on their guard. Those savages are on their way to their territory!"

Yugi nodded, then told the others, "a hoard of vampires are on their way to this territory, Yami says for you to be on your guard."

"Tell him we are and to kiss my ass," Marik responded.

"He says-" Yugi responded before being interrupted.

"I heard. Be safe okay," Yami said.

"I will. I... I love you, Yami."

"I love you too, Yugi. I gotta go!"

"Okay. Bye."

"Bye."

Yugi hung up before a sigh escaped his lips. Tea leaned Yugi's head on her shoulder to sooth her boyfriend. She felt sorry for Yugi, since he missed his brother greatly. Ryou stared at Yugi longingly, feeling pity for the guy, even though they never met before. He knew he would miss Remu alot too if they were apart. Remu couldn't help, but pity Yugi as well.

Marik stood up boldly, and then announced, "Well, looks like we'll be heading for trouble. We'll need to prepare ourselves!"

"Wait, you're not gonna go out there are you?" Tea asked with glaring eyes.

"No, we're gonna be sitting ducks until the bloodsuckers attack!" Marik replied sarcastically. "Of course we're going! And to be frank Yugi, if your so called brother steps into our territory, it's hunting season for him."

"Marik, maybe you may not like him, but he's still my friend and if he doesn't drink human blood, he's good by my standers!" Joey argued.

"He's a vampire Joey; vampires drink blood, human blood! He's no longer your friend!" Marik snarled at Joey as the two werewolves growled before Yugi stepped in between them.

"Both of you stop! Yami's not passing into your territory, Marik! He'll be taking care of the vampires outside of your territory! Also, to be frank, he's my brother and Joey's friend! That's something you can't control, Mr. Alpha!" Yugi glared as Marik snarled in a low dark growl. Yugi stood his ground, two glaring eyes showing no fear.

Marik picked Yugi up by the collar of his shirt, staring into his eyes. He kept his glare as Marik warned, "He better not pass! You've already caused enough trouble with your stupidity."

"If loving someone unconditionally is what you call stupidity, maybe you need to change."

Marik's hands holding Yugi's collar began to shake until he dropped the midget boy. Marik walked out the door before slamming it, making everyone jump. Yugi began gasping for breath as Joey looked over to his friend with a smile. Duke smiled at Yugi with an impressive look.

"I never saw anyone stand up to Marik like that. Nice," Duke complimented.

"I was only speaking the truth. The only reason I'm with you guys is because my brother likes you. I don't care what he is! I just wish Marik would understand! To know what it's like to be so close to losing your brother, then find out that light of hope shining in the midst of darkness," Yugi said honestly, then sat on the couch. Ryou stared down at the floor.

"I don't blame you. I would be no different with Remu," Ryou admitted. Remu glared at his brother, and then sighed before staring at the floor. "I know Remu would be no different."

"Marik can be... difficult, but I believe you can help him, Yugi. You seem to have a gift of bringing people together," Odion mentioned with a soft smile, then eyed at Tea.

"You think?"

"I know."

"Odion, we should let Yugi join us! We can teach him how to fight!" Ryou said.

"Fight? You mean to tell me you can fight while human?" Joey asked in disbelief.

"In our culture, sometimes a few in our family would volunteer to help the pack fight off vampires. They knew how to kill and slay vampires. Ryou and I are one of those few. If you want to, since you are aware of our culture, you can also volunteer to help the pack slay vampires."

"Wouldn't Yugi get killed?" Tea asked, scared about his safety.

"Being that he hangs with a vampire on a regular basis, Yugi will be running into danger anyways. If he learns to fight, Yugi can protect himself from other vampires and will less likely be in danger when he's with Yami," Ryou explained.

Yugi thought of the idea and it seemed tempting. It would be nice if Yami didn't always have to protect him all the time. Yugi nodded, and then stood up from the couch saying, "Teach me!"

"Wonderful!" Ryou replied with a childish smile.

"Then, I'm going too!" Tea declared with folded arms. "I know somewhat about the werewolf stuff, so I might as well be useful around here! Besides that, Marik owes me!"

"Very well, we'll be starting your training soon," Odion said as the two nodded. "We also have a ceremony in a week, if you're interested."

"A ceremony?" Tea questioned.

"It's done every year. The elders of our tribe, that are still alive, come and explain our heritage and how we came to be werewolves," Ishizu said.

"Despite the stuff not being shit, I still find it boring!" Joey complained.

"I only come for the free food!" Duke smirked honestly as Ishizu glared, not pleased with his actions.

The door opened and Marik popped his head out saying: "Guys, we've got trouble!"

"Looks like we're off!" Remu smirked before he, Duke, Joey, Serenity, and Ishizu changed into their wolf form. Ishizu changed into a black wolf with dark black eyes. Yugi kept this in mind as the wolves ran off, except for Ishizu. Odion and Ryou stood outside of the house as Yugi and Tea trailed behind.

"So... what now?" Yugi asked.

"It's time we got you familiar with the weapons we use. Ryou will teach you how to slay vampires while I'm gone!" Odion said before he climbed on Ishizu's wolf back and she ran off at almost lightning speed.

"So, we'll be riding on wolves?" Tea asked.

"Precisely. Werewolves are very strong and it helps to have a human with them. Anyways, I should get you both to the training ground," Ryou said as he began walking toward his truck with Tea and Yugi following him.
