*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Bay Bridge was cluttered with the late night traffic. Atop of the bridge, a shadowy figure stood looking down at the busy streets. The dim lights directed people home, much like an ant that follows its own scent trail back to the colony, without a care in the world. Some had families, and others had lovers to get back too.
Shido stood on top of the bridge, watching as they scurried home. He had stood in the same spot a few weeks ago when he had decapitated Cain. Cain, the one who changed him, his former friend, former lover, and Shido's only link to the past.
Shido heaved a heavy sigh. Since the night he had killed Cain and changed Riho, he'd come to the bridge to think and to replay that fateful night. He loathed Cain, but couldn't help but feeling some deep down respect towards the vampire.
Shido laughed silently to himself. Imagine that. I have respect for the one man I hate more then being a vampire. Shido sat down, his legs swinging over the edge, hair blowing wildly in the wind. He started thinking about when he had changed Riho. She wanted it. She said she did. Shido kept repeating to herself. However, he couldn't help remembering that she would eventually grow to hate him, much like he now hates Cain.
Shido stood and looked down. It would be so easy to end it. I hate being immortal, having my chance to die taken from me. I could get it back right now. And leave this world of light at the mercy of the darkness. Shido shook the thought from his head.
"They're all like ants, easily destroyed." Came a cool voice from behind him.
Shido whirled around and came face to face with none other then, "Cain!" Shido said in surprise. He took an involuntary step back, putting more distance between himself and the older vampire. "H-how can you still be a-alive?"
"It was an illusion. Besides, I'm immortal and can't die." Cain stated.
"Bullshit, even you can die, just not of natural causes for of old age." Shido said. Cain chuckled and took a step towards Shido, who took another step back.
"Shido, come back to me." Cain said, continuing to walk towards him.
"Never." Shido accidentally walked back towards the edge of the bridge. He took a final step and went off the side. Cain caught Shido by the collar of his coat and pulled him back onto the bridge. Shido got out of Cain's grip and stepped away.
"Why won't you come back? Remember the power we had..." Cain reached up and brushed some of Shido's violet hair out of his eye.
Shido swiped at Cain's hand. "You mean look at all the lives we stole. Everyone we feed from was deprived their chance to die." I didn't even have that choice.
"The people we feed from wanted it." Cain stated.
"Some of them did. But what about the ones that didn't? We took their chance to live and die. You took that chance from me as well and I hate you for it." Shido stated.
Cain pushed Shido up against the tower of the bridge. The damage still present from their last brawl. "You wanted it."
"At first yes, but when you went to change me I said no and you did it anyway."
"And you enjoy every minute in the darkness. All the times we shared..." Cain was silenced with Shido's hand over his mouth.
"Those were all lies. They were nothing but tricks. You never cared for me...y-you never really l-love me." Shido looked away from Cain.
Cain removed a hand from Shido's arm, and used it to move Shido's face to he was looking at him, "I love you Shido, I always did." Cain leaned down and lightly pressed his lips into Shido's. At first he tensed, then slowly started to respond. Cain smiled and moved his hand from Shido's arm to his thigh. Shido pulled his arms around Cain's neck, pulling himself closer to the older vampire, lacing his fingers into Cain's flowing locks of string gold. Cain's coat blew wildly in the wind, covering them as they disappeared.
