Summary: A new enemy brings new dangers and more turmoil then even before. But there's something different about this one. Could it be the fact that he isn't exactly human? (Warnings: shonen-ai, vampires, language, mature content, ect)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Duel 9: Seto Kaiba
There was a light knock on the door. Yami slowly opened his eyes. "What?"
"Yami, may I come in?" It was Raphael.
He blinked a few times and rubbed his eyes as he sat up. "Yes."
Raphael entered the room and smiled. "Good morning. I see you got through to him."
Yami nodded. "He told me what happened. Armand was here and he tried to take Yuugi away. But Yuugi wouldn't go. He was so terrified that he couldn't speak. He defiantly didn't want to leave."
The vampire smiled. "Looks like he's become attached to you."
Yami beamed. "Yes. I hope it stays that way forever. But I have to ask you something. Yuugi . . . well, he said he wanted me to call him Yuugi instead of Rumen. What does that mean?"
Raphael turned around. "You'll find out. Any way, get ready because we're about to leave."
He silently departed leaving Yami to frown to himself. 'I wish there was some other way we could move Yuugi to Kaiba's mansion. I'm afraid that it won't work and Yuugi will . . .'
"Yami?" He looked down and smiled. Rumen had turned over towards Yami and was now looking up at him with bright curious eyes. His soft, angelic face was twisted with concern. "What's wrong? Why are you sad?"
Yami cupped his cheek. "Nothing's wrong, Yuugi. It's all right."
Rumen closed his eyes. He sighed and turned into the pharaoh's palm. Yami couldn't help but wonder if his hikari also loved him by the reactions he gave the pharaoh. 'Perhaps it's only wishful thinking . . . but could he love me?'
He shook his head and pulled back the covers. "Come on, Yuugi. Let's get out of bed. We have to get going soon."
Rumen blinked and sat up. "Where are we going?"
"To Kaiba's mansion. It's safer there then it is here." He crawled over Yuugi to the other side of the bed and stood on the floor.
He nodded, completely understanding what Yami meant. "Who's Kaiba?"
Yami paused. "He's a . . . friend."
Rumen didn't quiet understand why Yami hesitated, but he was sure there was a reason. Something suddenly came to his attention. "We aren't leaving now are we?"
He changed into a new set of clothes Jounouchi had laid out for him. "Once we're ready then yes, I suppose so."
Rumen jumped out of bed. "But the sun is out."
He sighed. "I know."
"Yami I don't understand." Alarm was evident in his voice.
Some on knocked on the door. "I'm coming in." Jounouchi poked his head inside. "Hey guys. You ready?"
Rumen ran up to him and pulled him inside. "Jounouchi, Yami said we're going to be traveling in daylight."
Jounouchi lost his smile. "I know, Rumen. It's the only way."
He gasped. "W-what?"
The blonde held his friend by the shoulders. "I know it sounds crazy, but think about it. Armand wouldn't be able to follow us if we left during the day so that's when it would be safest."
Rumen shook his head. "But Jounouchi-"
He smiled. "It's ok, pal. I know you can't go out in the sunlight so that's why I have this!" Jounouchi picked up the jacket that he dropped and held it up to show him. "Tada!"
Rumen blinked. "Uh . . . it's a trench coat."
Jounouchi grinned. "Exactly! You'll have to wear this when we leave."
The shortest of the two tilted his head just enough so he was looking at its full length. "Um . . . It's a little long."
"Yeah . . . It's Honda's. But that's also why I have these!" From his pocket, he produced a small clear plastic package.
"Safety pins." His head was once again erect. "Great."
Yami put an arm around his shoulders. "Don't worry, Yuugi. It'll be all right. I'm sure Jounouchi-kun knows what he's doing."
Rumen sighed, giving in. "All right. Let's do it."
Jounouchi smiled. "Ok! By the way, Yami, Raphael wanted to tell you something."
He nodded. "I'll be right back, Yuugi." He exited the room, closing the door behind him.
The blonde blinked. "Hey Rumen? Why are you letting Yami call you Yuugi? I thought-"
The vampire interrupted him. "Only your lover can use your real name. I know. Well . . . I just thought it would be better if he called me by my real name. You can too if you want."
Jounouchi's jaw fell to the floor. "Really? I mean . . . really?"
The young vampire shrugged. "Sure. I don't see why not."
"I thought saying your real name-" Rumen cut him off again.
He smiled. "I know. But since we're such good friends, I figure, why not? Saying my mor- . . . my real name shouldn't have to be a privilege. Everyone I know can call me Yuugi. I don't see why it should only be reserved for lovers. Besides, I- . . . I'm sorry. I'm rambling."
Jounouchi smiled. "It's ok. Go on."
He beamed gratefully. "Well, with Armand, I knew I never really loved him. Sure he was nice to me and protected me but that doesn't mean I really truly loved him. Besides, after last night . . . I think I found some one else." There was a light blush on his face.
Jounouchi grinned. "I'm glad. But does this someone else know?"
Rumen shook his head. "No. I don't think I'll tell him just yet. I want to save it . . . for a special time."
"Well, don't put it off for too long." Jounouchi winked.
He smiled. "Trust me I won't."
--
"Raphael? You wanted to see me?" Yami said.
He nodded and pulled the pharaoh off to the side. "Have you told Rumen about our plan?"
Yami nodded. Raphael waited for him to speak but the pharaoh said nothing. "And? How does he feel about it?"
He sighed. "He's nervous and a little uncertain. But I think he trusts us."
Raphael finished buttoning up his jacket. "Good because we're about ready to leave."
The pharaoh smiled. "I can see that."
Raphael wore a long trench coat, the same length as the one Jounouchi presented to Rumen. It was black unlike, the other which was a light beige colour. This one was a button up with an untied sash dangling at either side of his waist.
He was wearing a scarf around his neck that also covered the lower half of his face. Leather gloves covered his hands and the hole on the knee of his jeans was covered with another scarf. No skin was exposed save for the area around his eyes. His head donned a black beret, the brim off the side slightly.
Yami cleared his throat. "So . . . this is supposed to be inconspicuous?"
Raphael tilted his head. "What? What's wrong with this?"
He shook his head. "Nothing."
Raphael's right eye twitched a bit. "Give me a break. This is the best we can do, ok?"
"Somehow, I don't doubt it." Anzu and Honda walked over to join the two. "So how are we getting there?" The girl asked.
Honda shrugged. "Yami, do you have a plan?"
"Well, since none of us have a car, perhaps we could take Honda's motorbike?" Yami offered.
Honda nodded. "Ok. But that only fits two people. Four if two of us feel like getting squished in the sidecar."
Raphael scratched his chin. "Perhaps Yami and Rumen should ride in the sidecar, Honda and Jounouchi ride on the bike it self, and I could carry Anzu on my back."
Honda presented Raphael with a problem. "Uh, how exactly will you keep up with my bike, Raph'?"
He smiled. "Well, believe it or not, but developed vampires, such as myself, have the ability to be rather quick on their feet."
Honda scoffed. "Sure."
"Well, I think it'll work." Yami said. "But are you sure you can carry Anzu?"
Anzu's eyes widened. "Are you calling me fat?!"
He rolled his eyes. "No. I'm just saying-"
Raphael suddenly scooped Anzu up in his arms in a bridal style. She screamed, fearing some unfriendly vampire had grabbed her. She opened her eyes to see who it was and saw Raphael with a small smile on his face. "I think I can carry you." He set her down on the floor.
She put a hand over her racing heart. "Don't scare me like that ever again!"
He only shrugged. Jounouchi came into the room and cleared his throat. Everyone looked over. Rumen stepped forward.
His trench coat was bunched up around his waist and slightly tucked into his pants. Safety pins held the jacket closed and because it was so big on him, the right lapel was all the way over on his shoulder. His also wore gloves but these were simply made of cloth. A cloth balaclava that had holes for his eyes and mouth covered his entire face. Yami smiled. "You look great, Yuugi."
"You think so?" He turned around all the way to show them the entire outfit. "I thought I looked like an idiot."
"Not at all." Yami chuckled. He did look a little silly but Yami found it adorable somehow.
Raphael cleared his throat. "Rumen? Could you come over here with me for a second?" The elder vampire stuck out his hand.
The younger blinked, but accepted his outstretched appendage. Raphael led the boy in front of a window. With out warning, and keeping a firm grip on Rumen's hand, he tugged on the string that pulled back the curtains. The two were instantly exposed to the light of day.
Simply from the suddenness and unexpected action, Rumen jumped back and tried to get out of the light. But Raphael's hold on his hand was so unyielding; he couldn't escape from the rays of the sun.
"Raphael!" Yami cried. "What are you doing?!"
He shrugged. "I'm testing to see if these clothes will protect us or not. We can't go outside only to find Rumen in a pile of ashes before Honda's bike even starts can we?"
Yami stayed silent. Raphael was absolutely right. He wanted to keep his young hikari safe and one way to make sure of that is to have the sun shine on him. So far, Rumen was just fine. He hadn't dropped the arm that shielded his eyes, but he didn't seem to be in pain or in any real danger. Raphael turned all the way around pulling Rumen with him. Still, nothing had happened. It was indeed safe for the two to travel under the sun's deadly rays.
"All right!" Raphael released Rumen's hand. "Let's get going."
The very instant the elder loosened his grip, Rumen ran into Yami's arms. He gripped the pharaoh's shirt tightly and sounded like he was having trouble breathing. Yami immediately wrapped his arms around the boy and held him close. "Yuugi, what's wrong? Were you burned somewhere? Are you in pain?"
He shook his head. "I . . . I'm just . . . I got scared. I . . . thought I was . . . was going to . . ."
The pharaoh rubbed his back to sooth away his fear. "It's ok now. You're safe. These clothes will protect you when we leave. I promise. Ok?"
He nodded. "All right . . . I trust you."
Rumen looked up at Yami with loving eyes. 'I know I'm safe as long as I'm with you, Yami.'
--
Rumen took a deep breath. He stood before the opened door where a cool breeze blew inside. Yami had an arm around him and tightened his hold. "Don't be afraid. I promised you would be safe. Do you trust me?"
Having Yami's lips brushing lightly against his ear made him blush. He spoke in such a soft voice he felt a heat spread through him. The pharaoh's hot breath was so soothing; he closed his eyes as if he were about to drift off. But with out a hint of uncertainty, he nodded. "Then let's go."
Taking another deep breath, Rumen slowly started to walk out the door. Yami stayed by his side to make him feel safe and comfortable. The instant Rumen was fully outside; he winced and buried his face into Yami's shoulder. "What's wrong, Yuugi?"
"Nothing." He flinched again when he tried to open his eyes.
Raphael half smiled. "He's ok. His eyes just hurt because they're not used to the sunlight. Plus with all the snow reflecting the light . . ."
Yami pulled his hikari closer to him. "Yuugi, it's ok. I'm right here and I'm not going any where." He nodded and slowly removed his head from the pharaoh's shoulder.
"All right. Anzu and I will be leaving now. You four hurry and catch up to us." Raphael picked the girl up once again. "Don't be too long."
He hopped onto a building and jumped onto another with incredible speed. He continued like this down the road until he was no longer in sight. Honda blinked. "Wow. He wasn't kidding."
Rumen gasped once his eyes adjusted to the light. "Oh Yami . . . it's so beautiful! I can't believe it!"
He chuckled. "Yes, it is lovely."
Rumen smiled. "This is nothing like I've ever seen before! Is it always like this?"
Jounouchi smiled. "Just in winter, of course. But yeah, I guess it is."
He took a few steps away from Yami and scooped up some of the snow in his hand. After a few seconds he dropped it. "It's so cold!"
Honda laughed. "Well sure! It's crystals of frozen water, Yuugi."
He smiled. "Wow. It's so . . . bright! But it's just so beautiful."
The young hikari slowly looked up at the sky. "Yami! Look at the sky! It's so blue and bright! I've never seen it like this before!"
Yami sighed. "Yuugi. Let's go."
He blinked at Yami's tone. He sounded so very stern. It was odd to hear him speak like that since he was so used to hearing his soft and gentle voice. But nevertheless, he obeyed and they walked to the sidecar.
Yami got in first then helped Rumen in. There was only enough room for one person to sit, so the vampire had to sit on the pharaoh's lap. The balaclava he wore hid his blush, saving him from any embarrassment or awkward questions.
Jounouchi sat on the back of the bike itself and held onto Honda. "It should take us about an hour to get there. I'll go as fast as I can but if I speed too much the police might stop us."
Yami nodded. "That's all right. Just don't be too long."
"Right. You ready, Yuugi?" The driver looked down at his friend for conformation.
He smiled. "Let's go, Honda."
Starting the motor, Honda took his bike off the stand. Putting his foot on one of the petals, he revved the engine. Yami held Rumen close to his body, causing the other's cheeks to become even redder. Honda lifted his other foot onto the petal and they went off down the road. About twenty minutes later, Yami noticed Rumen was having trouble keeping his eyes open.
He leaned close to Rumen's ear and whispered, "Yuugi . . . you can go to sleep if you're tired. It's all right."
Rumen sighed. "Thank you . . ."
The motor, however, was much louder then he. Yami was unable to hear what he said, but he couldn't ask him to repeat it since Rumen had all ready fallen asleep.
'Was Yuugi really that tired? He was so excited and energetic before.' He mentally sighed. 'I shouldn't have been so harsh to him. He can't help it if he's excited about seeing the world in a whole new perspective. This is probably the only time he will ever be able to be outside during the day.
When we get to Kaiba's . . . maybe I should stay outside with him for a bit. Let him really experience it. I wasn't being fair when I practically yelled at him. That was wrong of me. So I'll make it up to him. I promise.'
--
Raphael landed smoothly on the ground. He looked around at the snow-covered grass and saw a large mansion not too far from where he stood. "Is this the place, Anzu?"
She whimpered. "I don't know and I don't care! Just put me down!"
He rolled his eyes and gently set her on her feet. As soon as Anzu felt solid ground below her, she fell to her knees and tried to steady her pulse. "Are you crazy?!" She screamed. "We could have been killed!"
Raphael put his hands on his hips. "It's not like this is the first time I've ever done this."
She huffed, annoyed. "Well you could have given me a little warning! Don't just jump in the air and not tell me when you're going to do it!"
He rolled his eyes. "Anyway . . . is this Seto Kaiba's place or not?"
Taking a deep breath, she stood up and looked to her left. Seeing the well-known mansion of the Kaiba's, she nodded. "Just don't think he'll automatically agree to letting us stay here. We aren't exactly close friends."
Raphel nodded. "Of course not! Because that would be way too easy."
In the distance, Raphael heard footsteps crunching in the snow. He knew it wasn't Yami and the others. They would be a bit yet. He heard guns clicking, as casings of bullets were placed inside, ready to shoot the intruders. In this case, it was them. "Here we go."
Anzu was about to ask what he meant, but then she saw the guards running straighter then an arrow in their direction. They stopped a few feet in front of the two and pointed their guns. "You two! Put your hands up and get down on the ground!"
Raphael grabbed Anzu's wrist just as she was about to raise it. "Don't worry I can take care of them."
He walked forward and blocked Anzu from their view. "Pointing a gun at a lady? That's not very gentlemanly."
The first one who spoke cocked his gun. "I said put your hands up and get on the ground, ass hole!"
Again, he rolled his eyes. "Humans are so arrogant."
Another gaurd decided he had had enough of the stranger's attitude. He aimed his gun so it would hit him in the right shoulder and fired. Raphael cried out and went flying back. "Raphael!" Anzu ran to his side and held his head in her lap.
He was holding his shoulder in a fierce grip that refused to let go. It sounded like he was having trouble breathing and couldn't keep the air in his lungs. "Raphael, hold on!"
One of his tightly shut eyes opened. "Anzu . . . I'm . . . not going to . . . make it. Please . . . take care of your self."
Anzu gasped. "What?! But Raphael, Yuugi needs you! We wouldn't know what to do with him if something happened!"
He coughed after having his breath hitch in his throat. "I'm sorry. I just can't hold on any more. I'm going to die."
She sniffed and let the tears fall. "N-no . . . please don't go!"
"Ok. If you say so." He sat up and smiled at the guard who shot him.
Everyone blinked. Anzu crawled over to his side. "What?! You're not dead?!"
Raphael looked at her with the same smile. "Of course not!"
The hand the still held his shoulder released its grip. Between his index and middle finger, he held the bullet that should have pierced his body. "Did you honestly think this little thing could kill me, of all people? Besides, something as small as a bullet wouldn't knock me back like that."
"Wait!" Said another voice. "Don't shoot!"
Anzu's ear caught the sound of a familiar voice. She stood up and smiled. "Mokuba-chan!"
"Stop!" The younger brother cried again. "Don't shoot her! She's a friend!"
Instantly, the three guards put away their guns and took a few steps back. Anzu ran up to see him. "Mokuba, thank you!"
"Yeah, thanks! But couldn't you have told them not to shoot me before they actually tried to?" Raphael asked.
He gasped. "What?! You shot him?!"
The second guard stuttered as he tried to answer.
"Pah-lease! It's not like you're hurt!" Anzu turned on her heels and glared at him. "Which by the way, I would like an apology! I can't believe you would try to fake your own death like that!"
He laughed. "Well, it's your own fault. You should have known better!"
Mokuba ran up to Raphael. "Sir, are you all right? Do you need to see a doctor?"
"Ha! I haven't seen a doctor in over one hundred years!" Raphael laughed.
"Are you sure?" Mokuba raised an eyebrow.
Anzu scoffed. "He's just fine!"
Mokuba blinked. The vampire stood up and tossed away the bullet. "Don't worry, young one. I'm not hurt."
He sighed. "Good." Then Mokuba quickly turned around to face the guards. "As for you three, don't expect to have jobs by the end of the day! My brother's going to fire you when he hears you actually tried to shoot someone! You only use them if it's someone dangerous!"
One of them tried to protest. "But Mokuba-sama-"
"I'm not finished!" He scolded. "You're supposed to warn an intruder first! If and only if he pulls out a weapon are you ever allowed to use your guns! Do you see a weapon? No! Now get back to the house!
They quickly ran back to the mansion for fear of an execution by the boy's hands. Raphael blinked a few times to see if his eyes were playing tricks. 'He scared off men that were easily three times his size. And I thought a women's scorn was bad!'
The boy took a deep breath and faced the two. "Sorry. I just get angry when those three don't obey the rules."
Raphael smiled. "That's all right. It just proved that I shouldn't mess with you, child or not!"
He laughed. "Well, it's probably a good idea not to. You don't want to make my brother angry."
"If he's anything like you, I'd run faster then what I did coming here!" Anzu nudged him a bit. "What? Oh please, he'd have to find out eventually."
Mokuba tilted his head. "Anzu, what are you doing here any way?"
She cleared her throat. "Well . . . actually we're here to ask a favor. I know it's really out of the blue and your brother won't really like it, but we really need your help."
"Why? What's wrong?" He asked.
Raphael faked a cough. "First, shouldn't you introduce me?"
Anzu rolled her eyes. "Fine. Mokuba this is my friend, Raphael. Raphael, this is Mokuba, Kaiba's younger brother."
"It's nice to meet you." The younger said.
He smiled. "Like wise."
"So what's going on?" Mokuba asked. "Why do you need us?"
She sighed. "It's a long story. But it's really Yuugi that needs your help."
Raphael saw the boy's blue eyes sadden. "I heard about what happened. I tried to get Seto to help, but he said he was too busy. He wouldn't even listen to what I had to say. I'm really sorry."
She nodded. "It's ok. At least you tried."
Mokuba noticed Raphael was happy. "Why are you smiling?"
"You rather fond of him aren't you?" Raphael observed, creating a pause.
Anzu shook her head. "Any way, Yuugi's actually why we're here. See, the thing is we found him. Or at least, he found us."
"What?! That's great!" He paused. "But . . . why aren't you happy about it?"
She bit her lip. "Of course I'm happy! He's my best friend. It's just . . . something happened to him when he was kidnapped. I know this is going to be really hard to believe . . . but you have to trust me. I would never joke about something like this. So just let me explain and don't interrupt. Please?"
He was a little confused by what she meant. What could have possibly happened to him that was so hard to believe? Despite his puzzlement, he agreed to let her talk with out an intrusion.
"Ok . . . well . . . The guy that took Yuugi . . . is actually a vampire. He bit Yuugi and turned him into a vampire and then he erased his memory. Now Yuugi doesn't remember any thing before he was turned into a vampire. But . . . somehow, he was able to escape and found us. Even though he doesn't remember us. It was kind of by accident really.
Any way, the guy that took Yuugi is trying to take him back. He knew that we were hiding at Jounouchi's place so now we need somewhere to stay. And well, that's where you and your brother come in."
There was a long pause. Finally, Mokuba said, "Are you finished?" She nodded. "Good. Because that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!"
Raphael grunted. "Well it's true. Why do you think I'm dressed like this?"
His hands curled into fists. "What's that got to do with anything?!"
The vampire rolled his eyes. "Well, it would have helped if you told him I was a vampire too!"
Mokuba stepped forward. "Look, I understand you miss him. But why would you come up with an absurd story like that?"
"I didn't make it up!" Anzu shouted.
He raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? And what proof do you have?"
Raphael sighed. "Look. Why don't we go talk to your bother?"
"Yeah right. He's not going to believe you." Mokuba said.
He smirked mischievously. "We'll see."
A few minutes later, they were standing in the entrance of the mansion, removing their winter clothes. Seto's yelling could be heard from where they stood. It was a little surprising since the CEO was in his second floor office. Raphael wasn't surprised. 'Mokuba has a good set of lungs in him so it's only natural that his older brother would be the same.'
"Come on. We can wait outside his office when he's done with those three."
Following him closely so they wouldn't get lost, Anzu flinched at Seto's ruthless tone and volume. "Does he always yell like that?"
"Yup. But he doesn't yell at me or anything. He's only like this when he's really mad."
When his yelling ceased, the three guards ran out of the office and down the hall. Mokuba knocked on the door. "WHAT!?"
He smiled. "Niisama, it's me."
"Oh." His voice had softened considerably. "Come in, Mokuba."
The younger brother motioned for them to follow him inside. Behind the door, Seto was taking a deep breath. He was still angry with those guards, but wouldn't show it in front of his brother. Pairs of footsteps echoed in his ear. He turned around and blinked. "Mokuba, what's Mazaki doing here?"
He sighed. "I think you should hear it from her."
Anzu began. "See, Yuugi was kidnapped by this vampire-"
Seto raised his hand. "Stop right there, Mazaki. I already know this is going to give me a migraine. My head hurts enough before now, and I don't need it to be any worse."
She took a step forward. "Kaiba, please. Yuugi needs your help! He's in severe danger! Please help us!"
Seto sighed, clearly annoyed. "Why should I help you?"
Raphael spoke up. "Because if you don't there's a good chance he'll die."
The subject of Yuugi's death made him become more interested in this odd intrusion. But first thing's first. "Who are you exactly?"
He shrugged. "No one of importance. But if it's my name you're looking for then it's Raphael."
"Well, Raphael, why would Yuugi die of I didn't help him?" Kaiba asked suspiciously.
"I said there's a chance. But knowing Armand he'll probably kill him out of spite for me." He said.
The CEO raised an eyebrow. "What? Look, I don't know who you think you are, but you better leave. This is private property and you have no right to just barge in here. Now get out of my house and take you're little girlfriend with you!"
Suddenly, Seto's feet were dangling in the air. Raphael was holding him up by his throat with a tight grip, but not one that would have cut off his air supply.
Seto was absolutely shocked at his strength. It's not easy to get him off guard let alone hold him above the ground like this. But what really surprised him was how fast he was.
Seto was standing halfway across the room. There's absolutely no way he could be that fast! "Sir . . . I've been told you don't believe in extraordinary things very easily. Does this help you?"
Raphael's wings appeared, shocking the three other occupants in the room. Then he brought Seto close to his body and wrapped his wings around both of them. Now Seto and Raphael were completely covered by feathery wings and could not be seen.
Seto was breathing heavily. He was scared. Truthfully, he was scared. In fact, he was almost terrified. 'What's going on!? How is this possible?!'
He heard Raphael chuckle. The vampire then whispered gently in his ear, "Oh, this is very possible."
He spoke in such a sultry voice it sent shivers down his spine. But Seto started to struggle. 'No! This isn't real! This is just an illusion.'
Raphael chuckled. "Oh I'm afraid this is very real Mister Kaiba."
"H-how did you know what I was thinking?" Seto asked, shocked.
Raphael smiled. "I can read your mind. You can keep nothing from me. And right now I can tell you're starting to believe."
Seto could barely move his body. "Wha- . . . what are you?"
Raphel grabbed the collar of Seto's shirt and pulled it down, exposing his shoulder and throat. Gently dragging his fangs over the skin of Seto's neck, he tilted his head up to his ear. "I'm a vampire."
--
"Niisama!" Mokuba screamed when his brother disappeared behind the fluffy wings. He ran toward them but Anzu held him back. "Don't worry, Mokuba. Raphael won't hurt him."
He looked back at her with tears in his eyes. "But . . . niisama . . ."
Anzu smiled. "I know. It's ok. He'll be all right. I promise."
Mokuba stared at where he last saw his brother. He bit his lip and prayed that Anzu was right. Suddenly, Seto was dropped to the floor and Raphael retracted his wings. He turned around to Anzu with a smile on his face. "Looks like he's a believer now!"
