The Dark Side of a Star

Once again, hello there readers and writers of fanfiction. To clear up any confusion about me mentioning that Leo and Luna having a mansion in my story inside of just a big, rich house, well I just figured that they were close enough to being the same thing and called it a mansion to shorten things up. Also, no Akiza is NOT a werewolf. Oh, by the way, the vampires are going to be human-like for the most part, but they are NOT going to sparkle. I can't stand Twilight or its take on vampires. Sorry to those who like Twilight. So, sorry for any confusion, but here it is, the second chapter of this story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds or the characters. I only own this plot, any cards I make up, and any characters I make up.

Chapter 2: Vampire Motel

Yusei was stunned. He couldn't move due to the vice grip that held him in place against the wall. Worse, it was Akiza who was holding him there. Now she was leaning towards his neck. Yusei remembered what Michael had said. I guess I should quit beating around the bush and tell you the truth about Akiza. I believe that Akiza has become a vampire. He didn't believe Michael then, but now...

He also couldn't believe that this was how he was going to die. Pinned to the wall by the woman he loved, while having the said woman empty him of his blood. Wonder how the gang would pass that off into the news. He could see the headlines now: New King Killed by Bloody Girlfriend. While he was thinking this, the pressure holding him against the wall suddenly lifted.

Yusei saw Akiza get pulled back by someone. It was Michael. Akiza no longer paid him any attention. Her focus was completely on Michael now. Then they started to fight. Yusei was amazed at what he was observing. The two were so fast, he could barely read their movements. Eventually, though, Michael caught Akiza with a right hook that slammed her into the wall. Yusei was horrified. How could Michael do that to her? he thought. He was shocked to see that Akiza got back up almost immediately and looked ready for combat again.

Then she looked at Yusei and lunged at him. Before she could grab him again, Michael caught her and held her away from Yusei. She continued to claw and snap at Yusei.

"Sorry, Yusei" said Michael. "I accidently fell asleep on that couch. It really is quite comfy and I hadn't slept in such a long time. Anyways, that's how Akiza managed to wake up and attack you." Yusei was speechless. He couldn't quite take in the scene before him. Akiza didn't really seem like the type of person to go all primal animal and attack people.

"What happened to her?" Yusei managed to choke out.

Michael sighed. "She's thirsty. I told you, vampires have a tendency to go feral when they first awaken. Do you finally believe me about Akiza being a vampire?" Yusei just nodded his head, still in shock. "Then there's only one thing left to do." Michael took Akiza's head in one os his hands.

"Wait, don't kill her!" Yusei shouted, thinking that Michael was going to slam Akiza's head into the ground. Michael, instead, just looked puzzled.

"Who said anything about killing her?" Instead of slamming her head into the ground, he lead her mouth to his neck, where she quickly bit into and started to drink his blood. Yusei lookedd like he was going to be sick. After a short amount of time, Michael pulled Akiza's head away. Instead of looking feral, she seemed content and drifted back off into sleep.

Michael staggered as he stood up and turned to Yusei. "Hey, can you do me a favor and carry Akiza to a bed or something? I need to get out for about an hour. Don't worry, I'll be back before anything can happen."

"Where are you going at this time of the night?" asked Yusei, puzzled and slightly worried because Michael looked exhausted.

"I'm just going out to get a bite to eat" he answered evasively.

"Why don't you just get something from the fridge?"

Michael sighed. "I guess there's no way around it now, is there? Yusei, let me ask you a few questions and then see if you can figure things out from there. First, how do you think I know so much about vampires and their history? How was I able to seemingly appear and disappear before you so quickly? Finally, how was I able to win a fight against Akiza, who is a super-powered vampire?" Michael smirked as Yusei's jaw dropped with the shock of realization. "Now, I'm going to leave before I do something we will both regret." With that he jumped out the window. Yusei went to the window and saw a figure on the ground running away into the night.

He then went over and picked Akiza up. When he saw her face, he couldn't help but stare. She looks so beautiful in the moonlight. He brushed a lock of her hair out of her face. I think becoming a vampire has actually enhanced her beauty. He shook his head out of its trance and brought Akiza to an empty room and set her on the bed. He walked out of the room with a final glance at Akiza and shut the door.

Then he leaned back against the door and the full realization of the night's events hit him. He had finally accepted that Akiza was what Michael claimed she was, a vampire. He also accepted the fact that the person who had helped him so much with his latest "adventure" was a vampire too. "And I thought things were strange before. But now, things are really starting to get interesting." He went back to his room and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.


It was finally the next morning and seemed like it was going to be a good day. Akiza finally had awaken from her continual slumber and was now her normal self. She had a hard time believing Yusei when he told her that she was a vampire, but between the enhanced senses she had and all that had gone on, she accepted it with a sorrowful sigh. The one thing Yusei did not tell her about the events that transpired while she was the Black Rose Witch, was the part about him announcing his love for her. He still couldn't tell her.

After breakfast, Yusei told the others about what had happened during the night. They believed only because some had remembered hearing noises last night and Akiza showed them her new fangs that she had been playing with during breakfast and her enhanced speed and strength. Also, Michael was still gone.

For the most part, everyone reacted quite calmly to the revelation of the new vampire Akiza, and tried to cheer her up and make the best out of the situation. Surprisingly, even Jack seemed less asshole-ish. Leo, on the other hand, was nosy and just wanted to see exactly what a vampire could do. It made Akiza happy to have everyone supporting her, instead of being afraid of her. Then Jack said the fateful words that brought a hush to the room.

"So, how are you two lovebirds working out this whole vampire stuff?" he asked, obviously directing the question at Yusei and Akiza. Yusei blushed like crazy and Akiza merely looked surprised.

"What are you talking about?" asked Akiza. Realizing Yusei hadn't told Akiza all the events that transpired in the hospital, Jack saw a perfect opportunity to have some fun with Yusei. He smiled evilly as Yusei continued to give him a death glare while Jack told Akiza everything that Yusei had said in the hospital.

Yusei silently thought to himself, I'm going to kill that bastard when no one else is around. Akiza, on the other hand, looked surprised and slightly touched. She did the last thing Yusei expected. Instead of turning around and telling him that she just wanted to be friends or something like that, she flung herself into his arms and hugged him.

"Yusei, I never in my craziest dreams believed that you actually felt that way. I had always hoped, because I feel the same way." Yusei just looked at her in shock. Like her, he never thought that she had actually felt the same way about him. He looked at the rest of his friends. Crow and the twins just smiled at the two while Jack had the cockiest-looking smirk plastered onto his face. Yusei mouthed the words, You're Still Dead, to him, but he just kept up his cocky expression.

Finally he tore his cobalt blue eyes away from his friends and looked down into Akiza', amber ones. To him, they seemed to radiate happiness and warmth. It was then that he did the unthinkable. He leaned down to kiss Akiza. Akiza happilly obliged and returned the kiss. Luna sighed happilly while Jack and Crow fake gagged and Leo really gagged in disgust. The two finally split and everyone continued talking, though Yusei and Akiza continually stole glances at one another.

Around noon, Michael finally came back. He also had an excited smile on his face.

"Where have you been?" asked Yusei.

"Uh, have you told your friends about what happened last night" he whispered to Yusei. Yusei nodded his head in response. "Then, as you know, I got a late-night drink. And before you ask, no, there is no one lying dead in a dark alley anywhere, drained of their blood. Also, I had to run a few errands. In fact, that is what I'm here about. Akiza, I need you to come with me."

"Why do you need her?" asked Yusei quickly.

"I really need her to see something." He thought about something. "In fact, you are welcome to join us, Yusei. This could potentially i9nvolve you as well."

"What is it?" asked Akiza.

"Unfortunately, I can't speak of it right now. It's not that I don't want," he added quickly after seeing the suspicious looks everyone gave him. "It's just that what I am about to show you is one of the world's best kept secrets and it is not only up to me to release the information wherever and whenever I wish."

Yusei faced to Michael. "I assume that this has to do with her being a vampire?" Michael nodded his head in response. Yusei turned to Akiza. "Then in that case, I guess it's your call."

Akiza thought about it for a moment then sighed and faced Michael again. "From what everyone has told me about what happened, you seem to be able to be trusted and I believe you only want to help, so I have decided to go with you, but only if Yusei comes with. She looked at Yusei uncertainly after she said it. Yusei nodded his head in response to her question.

"Sweet, then let's go!" Michael, Akiza, and Yusei all went down to the garage. Yusei and Akiza both got on their duel runners, though Michael argued that, because Akiza was avampire, she could just run at the same speed. He relented after she said that she wanted to ride next to Yusei. Michael took off and Yusei and Akiza followed him.


Somewhere in a rundown district of New Domino...

The trio stopped in front of a warehouse. The street was empty and all the houses were rundown looked as if they hadn't had any inhabitants for many years.

"Does this warehouse look familiar to you, Yusei?" asks Michael, with a cocky smile. It took a moment, but soon Yusei realizes that it was the same warehouse where Michael lead him and the others to his duel runner and the jeep.

"Yes, I remember this, but why are we here?"

Michael's smile grew even bigger. "You didn't really think that this place was just a random spot I picked for the vehicles, did you? This warehouse is actually very important, for it is the entrance to a world unknown to humans." He walked into the warehouse, with Akiza and Yusei close behind. They followed him into what appeared to be an old office. He lead them to what appeared to be a dead end with an enormous iron chain on the ground.

"This is what you were so excited to show us, a big chain?" asked Yusei in confusion.

"Not exactly." Michael picks the chain up easily. And it isn't the chain that I wished to show, but what the chain leads to." He lifted the chain up far enough to reveal that it was connected to a trapdoor, which opened up. "This chain weighs approximately 700 pounds. A normal human would not be able to lift it, but a vampire could easily pick it up with one hand. That is how we designed it, so no human could ever find this place." Before either Yusei or Akiza could ask where it lead, Michael dropped down the hole. With a quick glance at each other, the two quickly followed.

They landed in a dark and small underground path which looked like a sewer tunnel, just without the stench or any water. Yusei used a light on his duel disk so he could see. Michael and Akiza could see just fine due to their vampirism. Michael lead the other two through the tunnel to a metal door in the wall in front of the them.

"This is what I wanted to show you." Michael opened the door. Yusei and Akiza both did a classic anime jaw-drop. The trio had ended up in what looked to be a giant, above-average welcome room in a hotel, complete with desk, chairs, television, etc. There was even a clerk standing behind the desk. He had short, spiky black and was average height. The man wore jeans with a Nike t-shirt. When he saw the trio he smiled.

"Michael!" exclaimed the man, as Michael went up and shook his hand. "It's been a while. Sorry I missed you last night. I had some of the usual errands to run..." The two continued to converse for a while until Michael beckoned Akiza and Yusei over.

"My friends, welcome to the Vampire Motel!" he said sweeping his arm around the place.


Well, that's all there is for the second chapter. Sorry, but I'm going to split this chapter into two chapters. This is part 1. Next chapter, Akiza and Yusei see just what the Vampire Motel really is. There will finally be a duel in the next chapter and it's where this story finally will get really exciting. Also, I have a question for you guys. I never really quite got why the Yusei and Akiza pairing was called Faithshipping. If someone could explain it quickly, I would very much appreciate it. Well, please read and review. See ya!
