The next day, at school he was silent and absent-minded. At school break he sat alone till a hand waved in front of his face

"Earth ta Yugi! Earth ta Yugi! Answer Yugi! Over!"

"Oh, hello Joey. Why are you yelling like that?"

"Brother! I'm yelling ta ya for about a half an hour!"

"Oh, sorry! I was absent-minded…"

"Someone must have infected you!" Tristan said looking towards Joey.

"Hay, Yugi have you seen Yami around here? I'm lookin' for 'im to give me some notes"

Joey's words made Yugi's heart stop. What could he say to them? That Yami was a vampire? That he nearly bit him and then flew away?

"We haven't come here together…he…he is a bit ill. He'll stay in bed the whole day"

"Oh, boy!" Tristan said.

"Then after school let's go an' check on 'im, Tristan"

"NO!" Yugi yelled in panic but then he realized his mistake and tried to cover it up.

"Since last night he was telling me he wasn't feeling vary well. It may be a viral. Better another time"

"Alright, Yugi. If ya think so…"

Yugi sighed in relief but he immediately felt guilty. He didn't like lieing to his friends but he had to. Till finding what was happening to Yami he had to…

The same night, at one of the poor alleys of the city, was echoing a gasping, heavy breathing. Yami was huddled like a ball and was panting by his effort to control himself. At times his eyes were vaguely glowing red. His empty stomach was growling constantly, craving human blood and he had wrapped his arms around his body to make it fall silent. Unfortunately that was impossible because up to his sensitive ears reached several sounds. Sounds of the hearts of people that were walking. Their blood rushing through their veins. As a vampire he had gained that hearing and even from his hiding place he could hear them clearly. In cold sweat he covered his ears with his hands. Wind blew and brought to his nose a slight, dooming smell of human blood. He had his heart in his mouth!

"No!" he said to himself "I must…I must resist…but…I'm hungry…I need…blood…" he shook his head to get all thoughts out of his mind. Somewhere near he heard laughter. A young in love pair was running right in front of his hiding place. The woman was running with her boyfriend running after her. Then the fatal happened.

"Watch out!" he cried but she tripped and fell scratching her elbow and knee. The smell of blood was enough to drive Yami crazy. His eyes glowed crimson red.

"Blood…" he growled, "… no…I mustn't…but I'm hungry…maybe one or two sips…just a couple of sips…"

His fangs lengthened again. He took a deep breath and licked his lips.

"Are you alright?" her boyfriend asked her

"Yeah, it's just a scratch"

Suddenly one black dressed figure jumped down taking them both aback. "Who are you?" he asked

"Maybe another masked from yesterday" she said.

Yami raised his head and looked at them with hungry eyes.

"Your blood…smells delicious!" he growled with a smirk

"What?!" she screamed but he grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her up. Then with incredible speed he immobilized both of her hands on her sides, from behind with just one hand while with the other he hugged her bringing her close to him.

"Hay, you freak! Leave her alone!" but Yami ignored him

He leaned down and licked her neck and sank his fangs into it. The woman was so shocked that she couldn't even scream. Her boyfriend was also frozen in his sitting position, frozen in fear. Yami was swallowing the one sip after the other.

"So…delicious…more…I want more…" he was thinking being absolutely impossible for him to stop.

The blood was running down his throat filling his empty stomach. The sense was inebriating and he just couldn't stop. The woman breathed for one last time and completely drained from blood, died in his hands. Yami placed down her dead body and started licking the blood that had stained his lips and hands. With the corner of his eyes he saw the man who had frozen with his face pale-white in fear and horror. Yami licked his lips again. He wasn't gorged yet. He started approaching. He desperately tried to crawl backwards, away from him but Yami grabbed his ankle.

"Blood…" he growled.

The man kicked and stood up. Into his frenzy he tried to punch him. Yami grabbed his punch and clenched it. The man moaned in pain and he admitted that 'that punk' was much stronger that he looked. Yami twisted the man's wrist upwards breaking his wrist with no effort at all.

"Hungry…" he roared before biting the man's neck that not like his girlfriend he anticipated to scream loudly…
