Thank you for your kind reviews. I know this isn't a very long chapter, but I wanted to get it uploaded anyway.

Warnings: attempted rape (it doesn't get far) if you have a problem with this please don't read this chapter.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My rest was only disturbed once by Kaiba showering. The smoky air moistened everything in the room especially the tub. I heard him silently apologize, but I couldn't tell if it was real or fantasy. Kaiba didn't strike me as the one to apologize for waking someone. I closed my eyes again and slept the remainder of the day. I didn't fear my lover's safety while the sun was up.

As dusk approached, I felt my body slowly waking. I felt more drained than normal. I groaned and pushed my body out of the tub. I couldn't explain why I felt horrible. I moved away from the tub and staggered until I opened the door. The sudden noise caused Kaiba to look up from his laptop. He quickly got out of bed and grabbed my arms to steady me. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know. I'm feeling drained."

"Did you put your hand in that water?"

I chuckled and walked with him over to the bed. "No." My body felt heavier than normal. I slammed on the bed, not caring about Kaiba's disgusted grunt or the pillows that fell off the bed. He leaned over me and grabbed the laptop.

"We need more defenses if you can't fight. This might be something that vampire is doing."

I sighed, not caring about anything at that moment. "I can still fight," I mumbled through the mattress. I had no desire to let him fight without me. If my master had the same abilities as me, then I knew he wasn't someone to underestimate. A normal human wouldn't stand a chance.

I felt Kaiba sit down next to me. I rolled over and looked at him. "You look like shit. I highly doubt you can fight. Stop being stubborn."

"I'm not being stubborn. You just underestimate my new strength. I'll be ready when he comes." Kaiba sighed and grabbed his laptop and flipped it open again. He started typing, going from paying attention to me to ignoring me. I watched him a few minutes before deciding it would be good to get a few moments of sleep. I kept my senses on alert so when my master showed up, I would instantly know instead of Kaiba stubbornly fighting him without waking me.

Kaiba shifted again on the bed, and I opened my eyes meeting his. He jerked back suddenly. "I thought you were sleeping."

"Slightly. I could still sense people around me." I sat up and ran my fingers along his cheek. "You look worried."

He rolled his eyes. "Not worried. I'm concerned. You haven't been this way until after I cut you with silver."

I moved until I lied on top of him, placing the laptop on the floor. "Stop acting like that. It's not like you to hold onto regret. I'm fine, just a little tired." I kissed him deeply, rubbing my body against his. His eyes fluttered shut and he moaned.

He reached up and placed his hand on my shoulder. "We shouldn't," he said through breathes. "I don't want him walking in on as like this."

"Too late," a voice echoed through the room. I turned in time to see a glimpse of my master. He grabbed me by the neck and slammed me against the wall. I tried to move but my tired body refused to cooperate. He grabbed my hands and slammed something into them, pinning me to the wall. I screamed from the burning pain. My blood and skin felt like they were melting. I knew at that moment that he pierced me with silver.

I managed to calm the pain enough to half focus on the room. He was licking his burnt hands and walking over towards Kaiba. My lover didn't seem scared. I tried to move my hands but the pain was excruciating. My master approached Kaiba cautiously as if he knew Kaiba had something up his sleeves. I glanced to the side, noting that the pitcher of water was missing.

I calmed my breath, trying not to draw attention to the fact that Kaiba had holy water near him. "Hey fucker," I grunted through my clenched teeth. "Is that all you got!" My master glanced back at me, but didn't turn his attention away from Kaiba. I cursed silently before trying again. "Too much of a coward to take me on face to face."

He growled and turned fully towards me. "I don't need my full powers to defeat a miserable mistake like you." Kaiba took that opportunity and lifted the pitcher off the ground.

He tossed it at my master. The older vampire screeched in pain when the first part of the water touched his skin. He managed to move out of the way, the rest of the water missing him. I cursed and continued to pull my hands away from the wall, but the pain was causing my senses to overload. I didn't want to black out. My master growled and launched himself at Kaiba. I quickly tried to free myself seeing that Kaiba wasn't able to move fast enough away. I knew he didn't have enough strength to fight off a superhuman vampire.

"You fucking prick," I screamed, ignoring the skin that was slowly repair itself. He pinned Kaiba to the bed, digging his claws into his wrists. I could smell my lover's blood. It infuriated me. No one should be that close to him. No one should be touching him. I put my feet against the wall and pushed myself away. The knives ripped my hands apart, but the burning stopped. I hissed from the pain and growled at the image in front of me.

My master had Kaiba's clothes torn off his body. I knew exactly what he was doing and refused to let him hurt my lover. I glanced down at my bleeding hands, making sure I could still move them. It took only a few seconds for me to think about what to do.

I launched myself off the floor and pushed him off Kaiba. I placed my hand on Kaiba's naked chest and looked down at him. He trembled from the cold and slight fear that I could smell coming from him. I pulled the blankets up and placed them over Kaiba. My master rose from where I pushed him. I stood beside the bed. "Don't touch him," I growled feeling my temper rising.

He stood up and glanced at me. "Now I'll kill you."

"I'd love to see you try." We stared at each other for a few minutes before he jumped at me with his clawed fingers out. I moved slightly to the left and grabbed him by the shoulders before tossing him against the wall. My claws grew. I knew how to fight originally and the strength I gained when I transformed into a vampire only benefited me.

My master seemed to recover quicker than the first time. He launched at me again. Much of the fight became a blur to me. I knew we punched and scratched each other while we rolled about the room. In fact, the next thing I remembered was Kaiba stabbing him through the chest when he stood directly beside the bed with his foot against my chest. It must have missed him because he didn't die, but it came close enough to secure him. He vanished in a blink of an eye.

I sat up and slouched against the bed, hissing at the pain radiating through my body. Kaiba knelt in front of me, placing his hand against my cheek. "Your wounds are healing quickly. Let me see your hands."

I held out my hands. They were still a little sore, but there was nothing left of the wounds. I flexed my fingers, making sure they were still working probably. Kaiba placed his fingers against my palms. He stared as if amazed that the wounds were healed already.

"We might need to hide Mokuba," he mumbled. "I don't trust the security of this house when it comes to protecting him from vampires."

I agreed, easing my hands away from him. The blood I lost was starting to affect my senses. I didn't want to drink from him immediately after my master tried to rape him. "Mokuba could stay with Yugi. I know you trust him. I would suggest him immediately going there so his scent isn't fresh here."

I groaned, pulling myself up on the bed. Kaiba sat beside me. "Are you weak? Do you need blood?"

"Of course he would offer," I thought still trying to ignore the cravings. "Whatever happened to him seemed to be the last thing on his mind." I sighed and leaned against him. "What about you?"

He frowned and offered his wrist. "He didn't get far. You need more strength."

I shook my head and took his wrist into my hand, rubbing my thumb over the veins there. "I'll sleep it off. I don't want you getting too weak."

"I'll let you know if it comes to that. Now, drink." I closed my eyes before sinking my teeth into his wrist. The delicious blood flowed warmly into my mouth. I drank quickly and hungrily. Once I started tasting his blood, I noticed that my craving was worst than what I originally thought.

I finished drinking once my vision cleared. Kaiba leaned fully against me. I could tell that the dramatic event and loosing his blood was making him tired. I moved slightly and eased him into the bed. He closed his eyes and didn't fight as I slid a new pair of boxers on him. I tucked him into bed, choosing to stay as long as possible. I didn't want to leave him alone, not after what my master tried to do.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
