A/N: All I have to say is...I have a lot of different AUs involving vampires and werewolves, don't I? XD I'm sorry, it can't be helped. I blame my past fanfics of Cirque Du Freak (while the series itself didn't have werewolves exactly, I created my own race of 'em in the stories). Plus, unlike a lot of them, this one kind of takes place in the actual series...so it's not entirely an AU, I guess? I dunno, I'm rambling. XD Enjoy either way!

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. That goes to the respective owner. I only own my OC(s).

Vampire/Werewolf AU 2- Discovery:

(Ren's POV)

"Okay, seriously, where in the hell could he have disappeared to?!" I growled lowly, balancing on an old street lamp. "I swear I'll probably end up breaking a few fingers of the next asshole I run across before the end of the night."

Where could Yusei have gone? No one has seen him prior to nightfall. It's like he vanished. Wait...shit, what if he's been kidnapped?! I better find some clue before anything happens, I thought, spreading my wings and taking off into the air.

I had to be a bit grateful of my vampire powers for moments like this. It made looking for the others much easier (even if it scares the crap out of them when I land from the skies). The primary downside? You get hunted by every crazed vampire hunter looking to add another kill count to their record. Hell, I bet most of the vampires they've killed haven't even killed anyone in cold blood, so that counts as murder instead of protecting, right? Worst part is they've tried to threaten my friends and family just to draw me out to them. I don't like killing, but threatening to kill innocent humans is just beyond low for someone proclaiming to be a defender of mankind.

A howl caught my attention, making me pause. A wolf howl? I don't think I've heard anyone mention anything about werewolves being in the Satellite. Dammit, even more reason to find Yusei before the end of the night. What else could go wrong? I thought, picking up speed.

All of a sudden, a piercing pain came from my right wing, making me cry out as I fell to the ground. The smell of blood coming from my right side confirming that I've been shot in the wing. "Well well, look what we found," a taunting voice sneered.

I looked up at the group of seven, catching the symbol they wore on the front of their jackets. Vampire hunters, just great. I just had to ask karma to bite me in the ass tonight. I got up on my feet, unable to retract my right wing due to the injury. "Do you mind? I'm trying to find a friend at the moment," I growled.

"And pass up the chance to take out the vampire giving our organization so much trouble? Ha! Yeah right."

That figures. "Fine, but just for you to know. If you kill me, you're going to have some very pissed off duelists on your asses."

"Ha! Like we care. They'll be thanking us by the end of it all." The ones not carrying crossbows pulled out their weapons.

"Your funeral." I pulled out the two knives I kept attached to my belt, charging in.

The fight would have been more fair if the two hunters that kept out of it and fired arrows at me had not been shooting at me while I fought with their buddies. I had to not only dodge their swords and knives but also arrows. Several grazed my back, arms, and legs, starting to wear me down. The more I parried the blades, the more blood I lost. This was not good.

"We've got him now, boys!" the head of the group shouted when I dropped to my knees. "Any last words?"

"Yeah..." I brought up one of my hands, flipping them off while still holding onto my weapon. "Screw you."

"A little bastard until the end. Well then, prepare to-" He was cut off as a loud growl sounded behind them.

All eyes turned to a large, black-furred wolf that came rushing in. The two with crossbows had no time to react or shoot as the wolf attacked, knocking one crossbow to the ground and crushing the other. Judging from the screams, I'm pretty sure the wolf caught more than just the crossbow in their jaws. Then the wolf charged at the hunters still surrounding me, knocking their weapons out of their hands and destroying them effortlessly.

"Shit! Call for back up!"

I took that opportunity to attack, launching a knife at the communication device in the hunter's hand and destroying it. "You were saying?" I said. The werewolf (at this point, I know they're not a regular wolf) growled to add in they're here as well.

The head hunter grimaced. "Retreat!" The seven of them made a run for it. Neither the werewolf nor I made an effort to chase them. No point.

Now my big problem was the werewolf. It's not like there's a rivalry between vampires and werewolves like in the movies and books, but it's not like we're best buds either. The problem was a lot of werewolves tended to be territorial in regards to other supernatural creatures as I've learned, so there's no telling what this one will do to me. They're well in their right to tear me apart themselves if that's why they chased off the hunters!

The werewolf straightened up, trotting up toward me. Yep, this is it. This is how I die. Being torn apart by a werewolf, I thought, squeezing my eyes shut to await the fangs that would hit me. So was I surprised when, instead of fangs, I felt a tongue starting to clean my injuries. Huh? What? I opened my eyes to see that the werewolf was only trying to heal me, not attack me.

"W-What? Why are you..?" The werewolf paused, bringing their head up to look at me with their...royal blue eyes?! Wait a minute! I looked closer under the werewolf's left eye, finding the very familiar tracking marker under it. "Yusei?!"

The werewolf—Yusei—gave a rumble, nodding. "What? But how...were you a werewolf the whole time?!" Another nod. "Why didn't you tell me? I mean, I'm a vampire for crying out loud."

His eyes dropped and a low whine came out. Eh? What's wr- Then it hit me. "Did you not know if I would have been okay with you being a werewolf? That vampires and werewolves were enemies?" A nod. He must have gotten turned and never knew the full info on werewolves. It was only luck I managed to find a vampire to help me cope after being tricked. "Good grief, man. Even if that were true, I wouldn't ever hate you." He looked up at me, surprise in his eyes. "Come on, you and everyone else accepted that I was a vampire and need to drink blood. You think I'm going to turn my back on you for this little thing? ...okay, maybe not so little 'cause you've gotten even more intimidating somehow..."

He gave a snort, rolling his eyes. "I'm going to hazard a guess that the reason you disappeared was because you couldn't hold back transforming, huh?" He nodded. "Huh. Does everyone know about you being..?" He nodded again. "But if they knew already—and I'm guessing you told them not to tell me—then why would..." Realization struck me. "Ohh...they are so gonna get it once these wounds heal. They did this on purpose!"

I tried to stand up only to fall on my butt again. "Well, shit...and my wings are way too messed up for flight, so how—whoa!" I was surprised when Yusei nudged me up enough to slip onto his back. "Hold on! Don't you dare start running, or I'll fall!" I managed to get situated enough, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Okay, done. Let's get going before the hunters try to stupidly challenge you." He nodded, racing off with my clinging to him.

A/N: Maybe I should have finished this and put up for my Halloween oneshot? XD It would have fit better, anyway.
