Chapter 6: Sparks of Light in the Abyss

"Damn it!" cried Bakura, punching a hole in the brick, his eyes shined of deep bloodlust and anger in the dark corridor of his room. He could've killed right there but Yami had interfered. Normally he wouldn't have cared if anyone had shown up; he still would've gone through with his plans but Yami and himself were different from the other vampires in this mansion. Their power was much stronger being that they were pure bloods but Bakura knew deep down that Yami was much stronger and his power was a force to be reckon with except for one weakness of course but that was for another time.

"I could've have killed him! Damn you Yami!

"Is that how you talk about a dear friend?"

Bakura whipped around to see the tri-colored vampire; his fangs shimmered in the moonlight with a smirk and crimson eyes that spoke of mischief. He was definitely the last person that he wanted to see right now.

"Now Bakura I don't think that was a proper way to treat our special guest especially considering how important to you prize possession, Shizuka…I wonder how would she take the news" he said approaching the angered creature. Personally, he didn't give a damn.

"Why did you interfere? He's just a human; he doesn't mean anything to you"

"Yet you went through all that trouble just to try and kill him, do you want to tell me something" he questioned.

"Hmph that's my business besides shouldn't you be fucking Anzu right now, you know that filthy stray that old fool picked up" retorted Bakura.

"Really? But if I remember correctly, you picked up a stray as well, she seems like she's really good in bed, after all you're going through all this trouble just to keep her to yourself" said Yami, feeling his own rage growing.

"Where are you getting at!" shouted Bakura.

"I mean what are you hiding? I know for a fact that you don't do anything unless it benefits you somehow so why do you want that human dead"

"That's my concern not yours" he said turning his back. There was silence but Yami simply sighed and began to leave.

"…Sometimes I wonder...is your story about how Lord Ahmad died really true" he said before he walked out.

'I can't let Yami figure out about Kaiba otherwise…Shizuka will remain me…'


"I don't understand why Bakura would do this" mumbled Shizuka as she watched the sleeping CEO peacefully under the satin sheets. She couldn't afford for him to get hurt, not until she found out the meaning of these dreams anyway after all that was his only use…at least that's what she convinced herself to believe. Besides she could feel any kind of emotion for him, this human not after what happened to her in the past. Yami had told her that Bakura has tried to drain and kill Kaiba but why? Bakura only killed to feed himself and for his personal benefit so what made him attack Kaiba?

She noticed him stir in his sleep as his eyes fluttered open revealing beautiful ocean blue orbs. 'His eyes are stunning'

"…Where am I?" he whispered softly, looking up at the ceiling,

"You're back in your room…you were in pretty bad shape" she explained.

"…I tried to leave here, I wanted to get out, and I want to see Mokuba" he chanted.

"Mokuba?"

"My little brother…why can't you just let me out of here? I want to go back to my company and my brother…I can't take this place anymore" Kaiba pleaded

"I'm sorry…I can't do that"

"…He tried to kill me again…" said the CEO, sitting up, never looking at her once. It was not like him to be in a state like this.

"I know, I'm sorry I broke my promise, I'm not sure why Bakura would harm you however I told you what would happen if you try to leave this mansion and next time it'll be worse"

"I never told you…about why I wanted you to bite me?" he said, obviously not listening to her last statement.

"And why is that?" said Shizuka now annoyed.

"You told me before that I didn't know what death was…I've never seen its truest form but when you bite me, I saw it and for the first time I was scared, I was scared I was going to die"

"Then you've seen it before?" she questioned.

"Yes…many" said Kaiba saddened.

"Could you tell more about it?" asked Shizuka now very intrigued with saddened handsome brunette.

"I don't need your pity…I hate pity more than anything…if you just want me let go and tell you everything then you can kill me now" he said, his bangs covering his eyes.

"I hate pity as well but that doesn't mean you have to bottle yourself up"

"Then what about you? Before I blacked out completely, I caught a glimpse of you crying, why? You're a vampire aren't you? I'm sure you've taken the lives of many so why not me?"

"I told you before I needed you to be alive, I wouldn't keep you here if I didn't but don't ever question what or who I am; yes I have taken the lives of many some I'm not proud of but this is what I am,…I've lost all my humanity a long time ago" she explained.

"That's not true"

"What do you mean?"

"You're not like the others I've seen here, in your eyes I don't see darkness or blood…I just see sadness" he said and for the first time since she entered the room looked into her eyes which made her blush. "That's how I know you have some humanity left inside you…the light in your eyes hasn't completely went out"

"Shut up! You don't know anything about me! You don't know what it's like to me…to be unloved, uncared for, and unwanted…to be told you're worthless and an annoyance, my life is one tragedy so just stay out of it!" she cried.

"You don't know my life, you don't think I haven't those moment- no those fucking days where I just wanted to end it; if you don't want me to judge your life then don't judge mine!" he said leaning in closer to her.

"But at least you have your humanity…to be apart nor the dead or the living and sentenced to eternal damnation…the devil's curse upon those foolish enough to desire it"

"The devil doesn't have control over your heart, only you have the power to do that" said Seto.

She sighed, closing her eyes and taking a breath before getting up. She threw a cell phone onto the bed and made her way to the door.

"I'll be back in an hour, call your brother…I'm sure he's worried about you" she said before walking out the door. Seto continued to look on in confusion and shock.

'What's this feeling I have…why do I feel so sad for this girl…why can't she leave my mind?'

Shizuka stood outside, leaning against the door and place her hand against her heart. It was beating rapidly and felt warmth that she hadn't felt in years.

'Why does he have this effect on me everytime I'm around him? What is it about him that makes me so drawn to him?'


"Anzu-chan, are you ok?" asked Mana rampaging the refrigerator while Anzu sat at the isle pondering in deep thought.

"Oh nothing Mana it's just…well…Yami's been that human a lot lately and it just bothers" she said.

"Why? Yami can definitely handle himself I mean he's as strong as Bakura, he can take care of one lousy human" said Mana.

"Yes but…" 'Why is he so interested in him? There's something about him I feel is going to cause trouble' thought Anzu.

"Is there something wrong?"

Both girls turned around to see Yami at the doorway, smiling looking at his beloved Anzu. "Is there something on your mind Anzu?"

"Oh nothing really" she said blushing.

He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind lovingly. This made her blush even more.

"I'll just leave you too alone" said Mana, walking out the kitchen, leaving the two lovebirds alone.

"You know I can sense when something's wrong, please tell me so I can make it better for you"

"Yami…it's about that human, I see you go and talk to him a lot…I'm just worried that human is just going to bring trouble along with him and I don't want anything to happen to you" she said worriedly.

"I promise Anzu, nothing will happen, I would never let any harm come between us you know that but he's in a very hard place right now, he needs someone to talk to"

"But Yami…" she said turning around before he silenced her with his finger.

"Everything will be fine"

"I love you Yami"

"I love you too Anzu" he said and kissed her on the lips.

'I'm sorry Anzu but I can't risk you finding out the truth about Seto otherwise it will only put you in danger'


Seto held the cell phone in his hands with thoughts of doubt echoing in his mind. What could he possibly say to Mokuba? He couldn't say that he's trapped in the mansion filled with vampires…still…he wanted to talk to him. He dialed the number and pressed send and heard a voice over the phone.

"…Hello?"

"Hey kid it's me"

"Seto! Oh my God, you're alive! Big brother I miss you so much, I thought you were dead! Where are you! Are you ok!" said the young boy frantically. He was so happy to hear his younger brother's voice again.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Just tell everyone I'm fine and…hopefully I'll be back soon ok…I miss you Mokuba"

"I miss you too Seto, Roland and I have been taking care of everything so don't worry but every cop in Domino is looking for you, what should I tell them?" he asked.

"No, you can't tell anyone you got this call otherwise I'm not sure can I call you again, Mokuba, I don't know how long I'm going to stay here…I need you to be strong ok"

"Alright Seto, I promise…just…try to come home soon ok"

"Ok, go to sleep, you'll need it" said Kaiba, trying his best not to let any tears fall from his eyes.

"Alright bye Seto"

"Bye Mokuba" he said and hanged up the phone. He wanted to go back to him so much. He could hear the sadness in his voice but there was nothing he could possibly do. He noticed the book Yami had given to him. He took into his hands and opened onto a blank page. He took a pen and began to write…
