Dark Chaos, Book One Of The Chaos Saga (Formerly Known-In The Arms Of Darkness)

Chapter 1: The Prowl

" Ya know, I always thought it kinda stupid they we're called a prowl." Joey glanced over at his best bud Yugi, who was staring at something intently.

"I mean, yeah, we prowl, but how come we gotta be called that?"

Still no response...

"Uh, Yug....what are you doing?" Joey snapped his fingers in front of Yugi's large amethyst eyes.

Yugi jumped. "Joey!! I was this close to figuring out what Pegasus's next move was!" He shook his head angrily, which made his tri colored hair shake angrily, too.

Joey looked confused. "Yug, Pegasus has gotta be at least a mile away under that streetlight...I know we got good hearing and all, but still..."

Yugi's eyes were trained on the tall, slim man standing in the pool of light. His white hair may have covered half his face, but his body posture told so much. The tense standing, the swiveling of his head, the incessant tapping of his fingers on that briefcase...

"Joey, I know you are bored. I did not ask you to come. I have to find out who Pegasus is working with. Our prowl is being hunted, and my guess is Pegasus has something to do with it." Yugi sighed, adjusting his legs. He looked at his friend. Joey's blond hair hung low in his eyes, but there was still a spark of anger flaring.

"Yug, ya really tink Peg is behind our friends going missing?" Joey's body started to shake with anger.

"I don't know for sure, but it seems all signs lead back to him."

"Yug, ya gotta tell me dis stuff...how can I be your enforcer if I don't know wha's going on?"

Yugi sighed. Joey was right, but Yugi found it hard to open up. If that blood sucking vampire ever got ahold of Joey, Yugi did not think Joey could keep his secrets. Hell, Yugi probably couldn't either, but at least then Yugi was not putting his best friend in danger.

"JOEY!" Yugi grabbed Joey right before an arrow whizzed into the tree where his head was. Both men looked at each other and turned to sprint into the woods, their bodies twisting, bones snapping and rearranging until no men remained, only 2 large panthers. One, the larger of the two, had honey colored fur. The smaller of the two was jet black, but his ametyhst eyes were scanning in front and to the side, searching for danger.

They did not see the lanky brown haired man with the cobalt eyes take the briefcase from Pegasus and get into the limousine....

"Yami, tell me why again I had to be your errand boy for Pegasus?" Seto Kaiba glared as he set a briefcase on the the strongest, most powerful vampire of the city's desk. Yami's crimson eyes showed nothing as his thin fingers gripped the case.
