Description: They came at midnight. He didn't know how they were able to intrude into his house, but somehow they succeeded. They were a male and a female. HE, was the leader, obviously. She seemed to be some kind of apprentice to him. Not that it really mattered. For they were both strong and deadly.
But when a young teen is able to run from the grasp of his captors, it is the start of a long game of hide and seek. He finds a new side to himself he would have never dreamed he had. And it helps him to keep the game to his advantage. But he knows the game will never end, at least not before his death. Because his hunter is a vampire.

Kaichou
The last game to watch before Yuugi and Atemu had their own debut as a team was that of the US Champion Bandit Keith and a shy girl who looked far too nice and friendly to be a ruthless duellist. Still, Yuugi and Atemu had both noticed her play already and were aware of her dangerous skills.
From personality alone she and Keith did not seem to fit. Yet already after their first rounds it turned out they worked well together. In fact their decks fit surprisingly well together. Still at the first few rounds no one thought anything of it and Yuugi watched just as curious as the rest of his friends, eagerly awaiting who could turn out to be their next opponent if he and the vampire won their own game afterwards.
It was only after half of the duel was over that Yuugi realised the truth. And the shock of that realisation froze the smile on his face and his eyes to widen in utter disbelief. Besides him, Atemu had frozen as well, glancing shortly at the shifter and back to the arena brows furrowing.
"Aibou", the vampire murmured when Yuugi had all of the sudden turned awfully quiet, "did you notice as well?"
The shifter glanced shortly at his partner who watched Bandit Keith intently, eyes now narrowed in growing anger. Realising that Atemu was seeing exactly what he did, Yuugi nodded his head, eyes disappointed, yet with a small spark of anger inside him as well.
"Correct me if I'm wrong but when I watched that man play in the preliminaries his deck was themed differently", Atemu growled, body and muscles tense.
"He had an Earth themed deck, not machines", Yuugi agreed softly, though he jumped in surprised when the vampire let out a short gasp.
"He WHAT?" Atemu hissed in disbelief, having a hard time restraining his voice from rising. Suspecting the unbelievable, Yuugi again forced his eyes away from the duel to stare wide eyed at his partner.
"You mean that was NOT the deck you saw?" the small built teen asked in shock and surprise.
"No", Atemu confirmed with a low growl, eyes smouldering in anger. "The deck I saw was simply magic based. That was the whole reason I took notice of him, because I have a small passion for magician cards. Therefore of course I am always interested in fellow users."
"Oh, then you like my Silent Magician, I take it?" the teen could not help but asked teasingly, a smile on his face that the other answered with a smirk. Though, they did not stay playful for long in face of the serious situation.
"He is using more than one deck then", Yuugi mused, glancing over to the duelling participants, face deeply disappointed as he continued in a rather tired voice. "I never thought I would witness the day where a champion would fall this deep."
"A sad day indeed", another voice interrupted their talk which they thought no one had listened to. Surprised Yuugi and his partner turned around to find Kaiba Seto watching the duel with just as narrowed eyes as Atemu. Jounouchi and Malik stood a bit aside from them, both teen's eyes glued to the duel in anticipation of the next move.
"You noticed, Kaiba?" Atemu wondered darkly, his anger though meant for the one person that was disgracefully playing out there.
"Since you noticed as well and I am certain you'll be his next opponents, I think it's time to put him out of commission", Seto stated coldly, eyes burning with surprising passion.
"Should we report him to Mokuba-san, then?" Yuugi wondered curiously. Of course Seto was the organiser of the tournament, but right now he was a participant just like everyone. It was Mokuba, who acted as referee. To Yuugi's surprise Atemu just gave a smirk.
"Would you be willing to risk it all and take a chance at playing against this man?" Atemu wondered, face very serious once more but there was a strange, yet familiar sparkle in the other's eyes that he could not find it in himself to say no to. "I want to teach that sore loser a lesson about being humble as a duellist, not a boasting cheater.
"You wish to play against him after all?" the shifter wanted to be sure and it was the vampire's turn to nod.
"I want to show him how cheating will not gain him the win", he explained. "Also I think it would be unfair for that disgrace's unsuspecting partner. She deserves at least a fair game, even if she was unfortunate to receive HIM as partner."
Turning his head to continue watching the game, Yuugi allowed himself to think about his options. In the end he came to a decision just as the group of Bandit Keith finished the game with a win for themselves.
"I'm in", the shifter replied softly, confidentially. Kaiba could not help but raise an eyebrow at his answer.
"What about the team that just lost?" he wanted to know, his tone of voice making it obvious that he did not really care for them. Yuugi however faced Seto with a knowing smile.
"You've noticed it, too, haven't you, Kaiba-kun", the shifter pointed out. "Normally I would never have agreed to something that might wrong someone and I know for a fact that Atemu here would not have allowed it as well. However that team which just lost did not struggle with Keith's cards. They had problems with his partner."
The CEO's lips twitched moving into the vague form of a smirk as he nodded his head slightly.
"They would have lost anyway, yes", he confirmed. "And from the way that woman acts it's obvious she has no clue what her partner has done."
"Leave it to us, Kaiba", Atemu said confidentially. "My aibou and I'll make sure that she will have an honourable duel while he will have his wake up call. Bandit Keith has to learn that his greed for victory does not stand a chance against a good deck and the faith of a gambler."
"Hn, if you really want to do that, you'll better go out now and win your other duel first", Kaiba pointed out casually. Only after his words the shifter and the vampire realised that it was indeed their time to step onto the arena.
Under the cheers of their friends and the rest of the crowd, the two duellists stepped onto stage where their opponents already waited. The smaller of them looked a bit timidly towards his partner, someone Yuugi at least knew.
"Hi Tsukino-kun", the shifter greeted, bowing politely first towards the white haired teen, then also towards the smaller in greeting.
"Ah, Mutou", Bakura responded a wide smirk on his lips. "I've been wondering when you would finally make your debut on the real tournaments. It's rather boring to participate in those half ass tournaments just to play against you."
Blushing a bit at the unspoken compliment, Yuugi blinked twice when he suddenly noticed something different about the other teen's face.
"Bakura, what happened to your eye?" he blurted out before he could think about it. A second blush followed right after, when he realised the boldness of his words. Bakura however looked slightly confused before realisation dawned and a rather nasty smirk appeared on his face.
"Oh, right it's been some time since we've last met", he remember, fingers stroking over a scar around his eye, that Yuugi was sure had not been there the last time they met. Bakura shrugged slightly before looking at Yuugi with indifference, though there was also all of the sudden an aura of darkness surrounding the white haired teen.
"Mutou, you should do good to notice that harmless card games are not everything I play in my free time. I am not exactly a harmless person, let me assure you. This scar is the result of a fight where my stupid opponent thought cheap tricks like a knife would bring him victory", he explained and the nasty smirked widened when he added rather dangerously, "bet he was very surprised when I finished him off even though the blood was blinding me on one eye."
"Oh", was all Yuugi knew to say and even though he was shocked about what he just learned, he was not worried. From his past confrontations with Bakura on those small Duel Monsters tournaments, he instinctively knew he would not become victim of the white haired teen's other 'pastime', as long as he stayed on his good side.
Looking at Atemu, who had been watching Bakura like a hawk the moment it was revealed that the white haired teen seemed to be a bit dangerous, shifter and vampire nodded at each other before they took their places.
Already during the first rounds it turned out that Yuugi and Atemu harmonised perfectly. Each move unconsciously tuned towards each other. They knew exactly what the other thought and already Bakura and his partner were losing points quickly.
However, it turned out they indeed did not reach the finals for nothing. In the third round it became clear that losing their monsters to the graveyard had been a trap set off by the white haired teen who played a monster with special abilities that drew its strength from the dead.
From that moment on the vampire and shifter had a hard time. Even if their opponents teamwork did not fit together like their own - in fact Bakura's partner seemed to do only as the other instructed to him before the game - the traps especially of the white haired boy's occulted deck, were dangerous and hard to deal with.
It was the shifter and his partner who lost points after points for a while until Atemu finally drew the right card that was sending the dangerous monster to the graveyard. Unfortunately the move put another effect into action. Already a turn later they found themselves in the next dodgy situation.
Bakura activated a board of the kind that was usually used to communicate with ghosts. Each turn a letter showed up on the field and Bakura explained with glee that they only had five rounds to turn the table or they would lose. Because five rounds was all it took for the word 'DEATH' to be completed.
The rows of cheering people held their breath when the fourth round started, because the game was nearing the end with Atemu and the shifter obviously about to lose. It was Yuugi who drew the saving card this time, after just the turn before his namesake's try had been thwarted. With the deciding card at hand, Yuugi was able to disarm the ghost board enabling Atemu to call forward the god-card he had been keeping in his hands for this very moment.
The first moment Osiris no Tenkyuuryuu appeared on the field in all his holographic glory, it was as if the world around them stopped breathing. No one said a word at the presence of the overly rare card and even Bakura stared in utter fascination towards the monster that was going to destroy him in the next round.
"A god card", the white haired teen murmured before sending a smirk at Atemu. "So you are the owner of one of the supposedly lost god cards, that's impressive."
Nodding his thanks with a small smirk of his own the vampire indicated for his opponents to take their turns. Bakura accepted the silent gesture and played his last two cards for the round, even though he was very aware he had lost.
When it was Yuugi's turn the other teen took out one of the shifter's monster, but it still left Yuugi with one monster and an own hidden card. Yuugi attacked Bakura's partner, who was still so shocked that he was unable to do anything but watch as his life points were reduced to zero.
With one opponent out, it was already his partner's turn and Atemu took the chance to attack. Of course, Bakura refused to simply give in without an effort to stop at least part of his opponents moves. He activated a trap card but Yuugi had been prepared for that move and unarmed it with his hidden card.
Osiris was able to attack without problem and he took out the last of Bakura's life points as well. For a moment more silence descended over the stadium before all of the sudden the crowd broke out into cheers and screams of excitement. The first duel with Yuugi and Atemu as partners was over.

"Fuck, a god card!" Tsukino Bakura later exclaimed, while Jounouchi and Kaiba got ready to return to the arena for their next duel. Yuugi grinned shyly at his former opponent while Atemu's smirk spoke volumes.
"To own one of the three legendary god cards is like a dream come true", the white haired teen continued. "All three of them were said to be lost, so how come you own one?"
The vampire shrugged rather carelessly before looking at the other with sparkling eyes.
"Let's just say I ran into some thieves that were too stupid for their own good", he answered mysteriously and grinned.
"Thieves, huh?" Bakura wondered and an amused glow appeared in his own eyes. "Well, you two work perfectly together. I wish you luck for your future duels. Do me a favour and win, will you? And Mutou, don't you dare to stop appearing on such tournaments as this one now. How else am I gonna meet worthy challenges besides that Kaiba?"
Both Yuugi and Atemu nodded and exclaimed their thanks. Bakura left and returned to the stand he had occupied during the other duels, while the two of them put their attention towards the arena where the next duel was taking place.
"Let's hope that Kaiba-kun and Jounouchi-kun learned their lessons in that last duel", Yuugi sighed. Atemu chuckled, for now not worried and the two of them joined Malik to watch the duel.
It turned out Kaiba and Jounouchi learned their lesson well. They still glared at each other now and then, but overall they worked together surprisingly perfect. Even though the champion of West Japan was an amiable opponent, the chemistry with his partner did not fit. They turned out to be nothing against those two.
"Do you know what's ironic?" Malik all of the sudden asked while they were watching Jounouchi strengthening one of Seto's monsters with a magic card. Yuugi and Atemu looked at the Egyptian shifter questioningly who started to grin.
"Did you notice that Jounouchi's and Kaiba's decks fit perfectly together even though I am sure none of them ever cared before what kind of cards the other preferred?"
"You are right", Yuugi exclaimed surprised when he realised that he already had noticed the same thing subconsciously. The shifter and the vampire started to chuckle when they indeed noticed the irony Malik pointed out.
"It seems, no matter if they like it or not, Kaiba and Jounouchi have more in common than just their love of duel monsters", Atemu laughed and they all exchanged a last, amused grin before returning their attention towards the arena. They were just in time to witness Seto fusing his three Blue Eyes White Dragons into the Ultimate Blue Eyed Dragon, who was powerful enough to destroy their opponents' most powerful monster on the field, which cost Ryouzaki the rest of his life points.
His partner survived not even one full round as Jounouchi drew and summoned his Red Eyed Black Dragon; even though it was weaker than the Ultimate Blue Eyes the monster still had enough life points to bring the last of their two opponents to zero life points.
The duel ended under the loud cheering of the crowd as Jounouchi and Kaiba stepped down from the platform and walked over towards the three waiting teens. Grinning brightly, Jounouchi waved at Yuugi, his stance full of confidence.
"Did you see that, Yuugi?" the blonde wanted to know, putting the laughing shifter into a headlock. "My Red Eyed Black Dragon SO kicked ass. Too bad it was not Ryouzaki I brought down with it. I would have loved the irony of THAT one."
Besides them Kaiba let out a disdained snort.
"Your Red Eyed Black Dragon would have been too weak to take down that dinosaur of his", the CEO commented haughtily. Yuugi exchanged a worried look with Malik and Atemu, all three of them preparing for the outburst that they were sure would come.
But it seemed the blonde duellist surprised even Kaiba with his next action. Instead of shouting at the proud brunette, Jounouchi snorted and showed his deck, drawing the upper card. With a calculating look in his eyes the blonde shoved the card into the CEO's face, smirking.
"I think not, Kaiba", he told him calmly enough. "Because this was the card I still had face down and I would have used it, if needed."
Kaiba's eyes widened when he recognised the card in the blonde's hand, before looking at Jounouchi with an arched eyebrow.
"Devil's Dice, that's still rather risky", he stated, though the disdain from before was surprisingly absent from his voice. Yuugi's best friend shrugged his shoulder, looking at the brunette with a rather unimpressed face.
"So what?" he asked. "If you haven't noticed when I activated Angel's Dice and Roulette Spider during our duel, I have a tendency for gambling cards and usually I am lucky enough."
Kaiba stared at the blonde a moment longer, eyes thoughtful before he let out a snort and turned his attention towards the other three watching men.
"Aren't you supposed to duel?" he wanted to know of Yuugi and Atemu who had been regarding their blonde friend with a mixture of surprise and approval for his reaction to the CEO's jabs.
Exchanging a look and a nod, the small built teen and the vampire smirked and looked towards the arena, where Bandit Keith and his partner were already waiting.
"Remember, losing is not an option in this case", Kaiba reminded them seriously, his eyes narrowed.
"Jeez, Kaiba chill", Jounouchi immediately complained, rolling his eyes. "I want to duel them as well in the final, but you really don't have to push them like that."
Yuugi putt a hand on his now once more annoyed looking best friend, his lips forming into a small, friendly smile.
"Don't be harsh, Jounouchi-kun", the small built shifter soothed. "This is not about who Kaiba-kun prefers to be his final opponent. It's about our pride as a fair duellist."
"Huh, you lost me", the blonde now was confused, though he still seemed willing to accept his best friend's explanation for now.
"We'll tell you later", Atemu now promised before holding out his hand towards Yuugi. "Coming, Aibou?"
He smirked as the shifter blushed but still accepted his hand without thinking about it. Like this both left their friends behind to enter the arena. It was time to show Bandit Keith that cheating would never get him what he wanted.
