Day

Mana sits up in bed the next morning, watching as the sun goes up. She hugs her knees close to her body and rests her chin on them. The events that had happened the previous night still fill her head. It was as if she was living in a nightmare and there was no way of escaping. She hopes that nothing like that will ever happen again and that she will never see another vampire again in her life.

She lies back down on her bed and looks over at the clock with a sigh. It is almost time for her to start preparing for another hard day of work. She works early in the morning until late in the night and she doesn't get enough sleep from working constantly. Reluctantly, she sits up and swings her legs out of bed. She shakes her head, patting herself on the cheeks to wake herself before going in the bathroom to get ready.

Her head shoots up from her desk when she hears the phone ring. She yawns before she answers the phone and puts it up to her ear. "Hello, this is Mana speaking…I'll be there in a minute." She hangs up, sighing heavily. The day has started off slow and she has been lazy and tired ever since it started. She stands up and walks out of her office, going into the elevator and pressing the button that will lead her to her boss.

The office is pretty huge with furniture and expensive things on each side. A window is in the middle along with a desk. On the floor there is a rug that reads, 'mayor.' A man with short brown hair and blue eyes sits at the desk, typing on his computer. He wears a white suit with a blue tie.

"You wanted to see Mr. Kaiba?" asks Mana as she stands at the door.

"Yes, come in," he tells her and she walks up to his desk as he stands up and looks out the window. He looks over his shoulder and says, "Come closer; stand by me."

"Uh…okay," she says and she obeys. They look out the tall window to see many buildings which seem to touch the sky. Then there are the cars going in opposite directions on the busy streets. "What exactly am I looking at?"

"What do you see?"

"Uh…buildings…cars…"

"On the sidewalks."

"Oh…people."

"That's right," he says and there is a long pause between them. She looks up at him, wondering if he is going to say anything more and at first, it looks like he doesn't have anything else to say.

"Well, I should get back to my--"

"And what exactly happens to those people at night?"

"They go home?"

"Besides that." Mana arches an eyebrow and he answers, "Vampires, Mana. They get attacked by vampires." Mana mentally slaps her forehead. How could she already forget from her past experience? It seems that Kaiba is now aware of these attacks too. "It is my responsibility to keep the citizens of this city safe."

"So…what are you gonna do?"

"Right now I am devising a plan to capture these demons and to terminate them once and for all." Mana smiles slightly. Actually, this plan doesn't sound too bad to her. At least she would never see those vampires ever again and she can walk without worrying about encountering them again.

"And…when exactly will this plan be put into action?" she asks.

"A month from now. But there will be small tests for preparation going on at night before the actual plan. Then, my city will once again be safe from these fiends."

Night

A sigh of relief escapes Mana's lips as she finally makes it home with no problems this time. No thieves or muggers and most importantly, no vampires and that's just the way she likes it. Now she will finally be able to get some well needed rest.

She lies down in her bed and puts the covers over her with a smile, feeling relieved. She grunts when she feels a draft coming from the window and she opens her eyes to find it open. Reluctantly, she gets out of bed to close it shut. She begins to wonder how it got opened in the first place. It wasn't before. With a shrug she turns around to go back to bed. But she isn't expecting a little visitor sitting on her bed. Her eyes widen and she screams while Cairo sits on the bed, covering her ears. "You again!" she yells and she lunges one of the pillows on her couch at Cairo who catches it with ease before throwing it back in Mana's face. Mana growls in frustration and comes at her holding the pillow as a weapon.

"Hold on, I didn't come to fight," says Cairo as she ducks and dodges the pillow. She looks over at the pillow on the bed and grabs it before imitating what Mana is doing with hers. Soon they find themselves having a pillow fight. White feathers are flying everywhere with each contact and soon, there is no more fluff or feathers in the pillows, making them useless. Mana pants heavily, dropping down to her knees while the small vampire smiles, finding what they just did amusing.

"Please just leave me alone," Mana pants, holding her chest. "How do you know where I live?"

"I followed you here."

Mana sighs, "You want to kill me then fine. Go ahead and suck my blood."

"But I don't want that."
"Well what do you want?"

"A friend," she replies to Mana's surprise. Mana looks over at the vampire with shock before shaking her head. She couldn't become that thing's friend. What if she were to turn on her or kill her?

"W-Why do you want to be my friend? Don't you have any vampire friends that you hang out with?"

"No."

"And why's that?"

"My dad doesn't let me out much. I have to stay home. But sometimes I disobey him and go out anyway just to wander around."

"That sucks."

"Yeah. He thinks it's too dangerous out here and he fears that I may be caught and killed by a human. But you don't seem all that bad. Well…you did just attack me with a pillow but…" She stops when her stomach starts to growl and she plops down to the floor with a groan. "I'm hungry…"

"Well get out of here and get yourself some food so I can go back to sleep."

"I can't go alone. I don't even know where to find food. Can you help me?"

"Why should I?"

"Well if my dad finds me passed out in your room, he's not gonna be too happy."

"And if he finds me with you anyway, he won't be happy."

"Which situation do you think is better then?" she asks and Mana sighs heavily.

Cairo licks her lips and the blood off her teeth and sighs, feeling satisfied after sucking the blood out of a sheep. She walks alongside Mana who has her hands in her pockets. "Thanks for the food. Sheep are my favorite."

"So yeah…now that we're all done here, aren't you going to fly back to your home before your dad finds out?"

"Hehe, well you see…I can't fly."

"If you can't fly then how did you get to my second story window?"

"I climbed up the nearby tree."

Mana looks out in the street and her eyes widen with horror when she sees a police car. "Oh great…" she groans and Cairo looks along with her, wondering why Mana is nervous all of a sudden.

"FREEZE!" yells the cop, getting out of his car and he points a flashlight at them both. Cairo hisses and shields her eyes from the high beam. "I knew it! A vampire! Alright, you're coming with me!" he exclaims, keeping his light and gun on her at the same time. He is only inches away when he suddenly gets swiped by sharp claws and he falls to the ground. Mana backs up and closes her eyes when Atem pins the cop down to the ground and sucks the life out of him. After doing that, he stands up straight, glaring at Mana with his crimson eyes.

"I warned you to stay away from my daughter," he says walking toward her with his eyes narrowed, but he stops when Cairo stands in front of Mana.

"Wait, she was only helping me find some food," she explains. "She didn't do anything wrong!"

"And you disobeyed me. I thought I told you to stay indoors."

"But she's not all that bad. She's nice."

Her father points at the police car. "You call that nice? She was going to have you captured. If I hadn't gotten here in time, who knows what would've happened to you."

Cairo bows her head. "I'm sorry," she apologizes.

He walks over to her and wraps an arm around her, picking her up. He gives one last look to Mana. "I am giving you one last chance to stay away from my daughter. Next time, I will make sure every last bit a life in you is sucked away." Cairo looks apologetically to Mana as they ascend into the air, leaving her there. Once again, she has had another crazy night.

Hm, what made Atem hate humans so much? That will be explained soon. For now, please review!
