SOTP: Hey guys! Chapter 7 here for ya! The fight of the centurie is now! I own nothing!


The group of battle ready vampires silently flew over the city. The moonlight reflected in Yami's eyes as he gazed down at a neighberhood below. He noticed one house inpaticural where he first found Laura. The house was very old, and falling apart. However it looked as if it was a beautiful home at one time. Screams, shouts and crashes could be heard from outside as the vampires began their desent.

"Whoever dis guy is, I don't think his in the da best of moods right now." Joey said.

The crashes continuing as they all landed on the porch. Duke took a small pocket knife from his jacket and unlocked the door. The group then began to quitely make their way inside through the dark, dust covered halls. Just then a figure appered from no where and attacked the them with sharp claws. The group seperated as they dodged the attack.

The creature looked to be a women that was 5 feet, 7 inches tall. Dripping with blood and some other kind of chemical. Her hair was long and black with gold highlights. Her face was pale with blood following from her sickly yellow eyes. The creature screamed as she lanched herself at Seto.

He quickly cut off her head with his sword before she even touched him. Her body fell limply to the floor as her head rolled near Joey's foot. Making him squeal like a girl and kick it towards the wall.

"Joey, how can you be scared of a severed head? Your a vampire crying out loud!" Duke teased as Yami exaimed the creatures head.

"This head was alreadly severed before Seto sliced it off, Duke. It was cut off from a living human and reattacted to that thing's body."

"What a sick bastard! Lor's lucky you found her before she was her old man's next experiment, Yami." Joey commented.

Duke then noticed a picture on a self. He picked it up to get a better look. After blowing away the dust, his eyes widened at seeing the people in the picture. The picture was of a man and a women, holding a five year old little girl. It was easy to see that the girl was Laura and the two adults were her mother and father. What shocked Duke however, was the fact that the women looked just like the head of the monster that was on the floor.

"Yami, you might wanna look at this."

Duke pointed out. He handed the picture to the vampire king and Yami's eyes widened in shock as well. He then frowned in disgust as he relised what was going on.

"Insane. This man is trying to recreate his wife with dead body aparts, using his sience and powers as a shikabane." Yami said.

He then placed the picture back on the self. Suddenly a loud explodion came from down stairs. Joey kicked the locked door open and the group raced down stairs to a horroricfic site.


The basement was science lab that had broken test tubes and bekers all over the floor. The biggist shock were the tubes that were pumping some kind of chemical into pods. These pods held nearly two hundered monsters. They were all simular to the one up stairs. Severed body parts and blood covered walls.

"We'll go back up stairs and exicute the rest of the plan." Seto suggested.

Yami nodded in argeement. Seto, Duke and Joey went back up stairs while Yami continued to search the basement. He later noticed some movement in a small room walked in quitely. Slowly a man in a white trence coat with greasy dark brown hair, turned to face Yami. He had blood and a purple colored chemical were running down his arm.

He was breathing heavy and had an angry look in his cold sickly yellow eyes. He reconized Yami right away and lunged at him. Pinning the vampire king against the wall with great strength.

"You...Your blood is just what I need...Once I bring back my love, we will live together and I will have no use for that murderer who DARES TO CALL HERSELF MY DAUGHTER!"

The scientist said, the sink of his breath made Yami chringe as he spoke. Yami knew he was the man who he save Laura from. The man who blamed her for his wife's death, and the man who had caused Laura so much pain. The images of her sadness flowed through Yami's mind and gave him strength. He grabbed scientist's wrist and dug his sharp nails into his skin.

The man screamed in agony as Yami was released. The vampire king then threw the scientist across the room. He landed on the floor, barely having any time to get up before Yami slammed his fist into his face. Yami then pulled him up by his collor and wispered to him in deadly tone.

"That little girl is pure and innocent. She's sweet, loving and loyal. If she's guiltly of anything, it's showing that love to a MONSTER LIKE YOU!"

Yami declared in anger as he threw the scientist once again into the floor. He stood slowly as Yami walked towards him with a glare in his eyes. The scientist tried to attack Yami again. However the vampire king was ready this time. He kicked the undead man where the sun don't shine. Making him bend over in pain. Yami then pinned his opponet to the wall, and pulled out his secret weapon.

A gun, loaded with five oriclacum bullets. One of the most rare metals in the world, only vampires of the royal family had access. Yami cocked the gun and placed the end at the undead man's head.

"I found there's only one way to truly kill a shikabane. You must attack the brain. I would rather keep you alive and torcher you even worst than the way you did Laura. But I cannot allow you to live and be a constant reminder of her suffering."

"S-she took her away from me...more than once! Tha-t little bitch-"

"What are you talking about?" Yami asked. Cutting the man off as his voice deeped with anger. The undead man then grabbed Yami by the neck once more. Nearly choking him. His arms began to grow long as he lifted Yami in the air. He then spoke with a raspy voice.

"Her, my love, Alicia. All I needed was her. Nothing else. That little bitch took her away from me! All her time, my wife spent all her time with that thing!And it killed her on top of that! But now, I just have to bring her back, and we can live together. For all time, with no else."

Yami struggled to breath as he tried to aim his gun at the undead man. His vision was beinginng to fade from the lack of oxigen. Suddenly he heard a voice call out that made his eyes widen in surprize. The same voice that was so beautiful, it had become like music to him.

"DADDY,STOP!"

Yami turned his head sligthly to see Laura, paniting as she stood. Her lovely young face had scratches, her feet were muddy and her night gown was ripped at the bottom. Laura's eyes were wide as gazed at her former father. He was pale and almost looked green in certain places. He arms were long and held Yami high in the air. The vampire continued to struggle in pain as tried to speak.

"L-Laura! G-get out of here! R-run! ARRGHH!" Yami cried.

( Fate had delt you it's hand,

trapped you in a world you can barely stand.

Will you cower then, or rise up and indure?

What to do?)

Laura backed away slightly, but didn't leave as Yami commanded. Watching the person who loved and cared her hurting like this made her heart ache. In fact, it was was ten times worst than anything her father ever done to her.

"You better do what this monster says, murderer. Cause you'll be next if you don't."

The undead man threatened as he tightened his grip on yami even further. Laura felt tears coming to her eyes as she shook in fear. She was not scared for herself however. She was scared that Yami, was about to die right front of her. Laura then noticed a pipe with a sharp, broken tip at the end on the floor. She picked the item up and held it like a baseball bat with both hands.

"Yami! Hold on! Daddy, I know that you hurt me cause of the beer and being turned into a monster, it's not your fault. But, I WON'T LET YOU HURT YAMI! HE'S MY FRIEND AND I WON'T LET YOU HURT HIM ANYMORE!"

With that, Laura charged at her father and striked his left arm. The sharp point of the pipe managed to scratch him badly. Making the undead man drop Yami as he howled in pain. Laura dropped the pipe and ran to Yami's side.

The vampire king smiled at the young girl, pround of how brave she just was. Yami then quickly stood and rushed forward. Putting the gun to the undead man's forehead again while his gard was down. Not before ripping both his arms off ,mind you. The vampire king then spoke to the undead man once more with anger and sadness mixed in his voice.

" You couldn't stand your fate as a human without the love of your life. So you decided to give up on humantiny all together. Including your own daugther. Nothing in world could excuse your actions."

(Rain has stopped falling,

the sun has stopped shining,

our luck has left us,

on our own.)

" If any trace of the real man that was once you is in there, let him know this." Yami said as he cocked the gun. He told Laura to close her eyes and cover her ears. Yami then spoke the last words the undead man would ever hear.

(And now with the stars align,

we finally say,

goodbye.

I offer this engery,

that chills to the bone.

I sing my song just for you...)

"I will take care of Laura and be at her side, from now on. Forever."

Yami vowed just before he fired. The madman was now,no longer a threat. Yami then turned to Laura, who was walking slowly towards him. The vampire king then closed his eyes as he made a vow to himself.

("Yes, I will protect this girl, and show her a world of love and beauty. Beyond this place of darkness and painful memories.")

"Let's go home, sweet one."

Yami said, as he opened he eyes that held a gentle gaze for her. Smiling softly as he did so. This made Laura breakdown in tears and run into his open arms. She cried for finally being set free. As well as saying a sad farewell, to her father.

(requiem,

for the dead

shikabane,

who feel no pain.)
