Secret of Blue Eyes

Chapter Ten: Part Three: Anger that has a mind of its own

The small drop of blood was still stuck to his mind, haunting him.

'Get a grip…it could've been a paper cut' He reassured himself firmly.

Even if her room was clean as a whistle, evil wreaked the place. He shuddered involuntary. He would never forgive himself if something happened to Serenity. He vowed to protect her and he intended to keep his promise. But this current state made it impossible for him to fulfill it. He sighed in frustration and agitation. Raking his hair freely, he tried to ask himself of where she might have been.

She might have run away from today's fight or worse…had been kidnapped. Rapists arrived at this hour and well, as stated in the beginning, he would NEVER forgive himself if something happened. He looked through her table, seeking for her address book. When he found it he immediately grabbed it and headed out the door when something caught his attention. He hadn't realized it before but the window was open, and a black feather was rocking back and forth softly and carelessly on the sill.

She struggled to wake up but couldn't find the energy to do so. Her mind screamed at her, scowling. But her body disobeyed. She felt weak and sick. Her body ached to tremendous pain for some reason; especially in her neck. Her eyes were closed tightly, not wanting to give in to the pain. She whimpered slightly, feeling the pain emerge even more from her neckline. She slapped it, like she would do on an insect, hoping that the pain would stop throbbing. But it made it worse. She cried out in pain instead. Simultaneously she opened her eyes and sat up. Tears of pain emerged from her eyes not being able to hold them back as she tried to soothe her pain. As she felt her neck…she felt two bruises.

Her mind reeled back to yesterday's events as she touched it. She retreated it quickly and gasped. She was shuddering intensely a flashbacks seared her mind.

'Joey mad...Tea reading diary…'

She gasped again.

'T-T-T-Tea…d-dead….'

She shut her eyes, hoping it would block the flashes. Tears of confusion and fear were visible in her face. She hugged her knees tightly, as if they were her life line, burying her head into her knee caps as she rocked back and forth slowly on the plush bed, to confused and frightful to come to her senses.

'This is just a…dream…yes…a dream…'

"Look at me…" Kaiba commanded. She…in her current state of shock didn't even realize that Kaiba was seating on a chair quite comfortably beside the bed.

Serenity peeked at him. She closed her eyes again…afraid to even look at him. Kaiba sighed, knowing that it wasn't going to be easy. After all she went through. He knew about the fight that she got into with the mutt, and he just happened to kill her friend before her eyes…and he tried to kill her. He blew a puff of air towards his lock, trying to blow them away from his eyes.

"Wheeler…Serenity…" he uttered. The last part was just to coax her to look at him and Mokuba requested it, persuading him that it would be easier if he showed a little compassion.

He still couldn't believe that Mokuba accepted him. He was a fool to believe that Mokuba wouldn't.

A complete fool.

Even he admitted it. But beside the 'fool' part…Kaiba was afraid that his vampiric part would affect Mokuba emotionally. Make him think that Kaiba was no longer the usual one that he had accustomed to. But Mokuba was wise…and he knew that deep inside Kaiba's human heart, the old Kaiba was there.

Flashback…

"Seto…?" Mokuba asked. His small frame was shadowing the doorway. His eyes were open wide as he stared intensely at the image before him. He tried to coax himself that this was a dream but couldn't because his conscience screamed to him that it wasn't.

He was merely getting up to fetch a glass of water. He didn't want to bother the maids. As he approached the stairs, he heard muffled, silent sobs. At first, he thought that it was a figment of his imagination. But soon after, he heard it again. Curiosity got the best of him and he walked down the hallway, the silent sobs coming from his brother's office. He opened it without hesitance.

"Seto…?" Mokuba called out to him. He wanted to approach the 'creature' that had a striking resemblance to his elder brother but was afraid. He stood his ground however.

Kaiba let the limp Serenity fall to the ground as he stared into his brother's blue/gray orbs that were filled with so many questions. He quickly wiped Serenity's fresh blood of his red rose lips and stared at him.

Kaiba had kept this secret for a good time now, but all things must be revealed in due time right? This thought never occurred to his mind.

"Mokuba…" he muttered quietly. He stood straight.

"So…it is you…?" Mokuba queered. Kaiba stiffly nodded after awhile. Mokuba didn't know if this creature was telling the truth but his guts told him it was.

And he went with his guts.

Kaiba felt tense as Mokuba approached him slowly and with caution. Mokuba stopped a few feet from him and stood still once more. Kaiba saw the many emotions in Mokuba's eyes; curious, confused, and afraid.

"Why didn't you tell me…you… were a…a…"

"Vampire?" Kaiba finished for him. Mokuba meekly nodded. Mokuba wanted to get to the point, trying to avoid all the awkward situations. But everything at this moment was awkward.

Silence…eerie silence. The wind played with their hair as well as Serenity's. Mokuba shuddered silently at Serenity's form as her hair moved slightly due to the wind. Fear took complete control over him as he watched her limp form.

Would he kill…me? NO! That's stupid… Mokuba reconciled to himself. Seto would never do that to me!

Kaiba sighed, letting himself drop to the bed and sit upright. This tension was getting to him as well. "Well…"

"Well what?" Mokuba urged. Kaiba noted very well that Mokuba wanted him to get to the point. So he did.

"I…didn't want this…" he stated, saying 'this' with much venom. He hated the creature in him. "…to ruin our lives"

"How would it do that?" Mokuba asked. "You know I wouldn't-"

"Mokuba…look at me. What do you see? A monster that's what" he spat after cutting him off sharply. He turned his head towards the window.

Mokuba didn't know what to say. Was he a monster? He did after all, tried to kill Serenity.

"I did it to protect us. She blabbed to Gardner about me" Kaiba stated as he read Mokuba's mind.

"What?" Mokuba questioned. It slowly sunk into him. "You can read minds!" he exclaimed incredibly. Kaiba nodded, still not making any eye contact with him.

"How?" he questioned further.

"An ability that comes with my vampiric side. It doesn't come in the day however. I'm human by that time"

"Are there more?"

"Yes"

Mokuba came closer to Kaiba who remained still. He plopped next to him on his kingside bed, keeping an inch of distance from him.

"Did you…kill all those…missing people?" Mokuba asked looking down.

Kaiba was silent once more. He stood up and looked outside his window. He sighed once more, looking below his estate. "No"

Relief washed over him but another question appeared in his mind. Who did?

"Is…Serenity…still alive?" he asked.

"Yes…" Kaiba answered emotionlessly.

"Seto…"

"Yes?"

"Please…don't kill…anymore people. I know you maybe need it for food but…there has to be something we can do" Mokuba stated looking down.

"I'm searching for it"

"Really?" Mokuba's head propped up in excitement.

"Yes…but I haven't found anything. But I'm still going to try"

"Good. I'll help you"

Kaiba gave a small smile at his innocence.

"Seto?"

"Yes" he said staring out at the window.

"I don't care that if you're a vampire or monster. You're still my brother…right? And…and…that's what matters, isn't it?"

Her eyes darted towards him, but her head was still tucked safely under the piles of her messy auburn hair. She sought for escape and to do nothing with his matter, but he was in her way. How she regretted the day that she ever met Seto Kaiba.

His gaze never left hers and that frightened her a little. He was still in his vampiric form and right now, the only thing that was telling her that she was in a dangerous situation. She shivered as the night breeze arranged her hair in a way that left her ivory skin bare and open instead of shrouded with her hair. Her hands were gripping the sides of her knees tightly.

Slowly, she could see his gaze softening…bit by bit. His eyes darted to the two puncture bites that were bared to her neck. She saw the shift in his gaze and became frightened again. He reached out and she winced before he even touched the wound. He pulled strands of hair away from the red/purple wound. A shiver went down her spine as one of his fingers brushed by her neck absently.

"I'm not going to hurt you" he mumbled quietly as he retracted his arm. Her mind refused to believe him. Her eyes were still shut and she burrowed her head to her knees. A shudder went down her spine then as cold water was swabbed on her wound; cleaning the dry blood off. He removed it but then replaced it with cold cream, immediately spreading it to the edges of the wound. The pain subsided for the time being and she felt gratefulness emerging from her heart. But fear was starting to block it.

A door creaked open and she lifted her eyes towards the person. Mokuba greeted her with a glass of orange juice.

"Hello" he said, trying to be cheerful towards her but he knew this wasn't really the situation to be cheerful in. She could see him in his little pajamas, a robe accompanying. Kaiba threw the swab away leaning against his chair. "Here…" he said pushing the glass towards her. She hid again in her knees, too weak to shake her head 'no'.

"It'll give you your strength back…" Kaiba said crossing his arms.

"Please Serenity?" Mokuba pleaded.

She lifted her gaze but not her head onto Mokuba's pleading one's. How could he have a brother so…evil when his nature is innocent and sweet? Though she really didn't know if Mokuba was all sweet and innocent; he could be as evil as his brother. She couldn't trust either of them. Besides, who knew what was in the juice. Kaiba had tried to kill her once and he could do it again with ease, especially in his current state.

"Please?" Mokuba pleaded again. His gaze was too much. It was filled with pure innocence. Her gut said that he was okay to trust. Giving a sigh, she snatched the drink from his little hands and gulped it down. It tasted unusually fresh instead of like the store brought ones. She burrowed her head down again and let the glass hang down with one hand, not knowing where to set it. Kaiba snatched it and set it down with a 'clunk' on the night stand, emphasizing the noise. She ignored it and continued to slump. She wanted to go home so badly.

Mokuba retrieved the glass and headed out the door, not before giving a short nudge to Kaiba. He blew a puff of air towards his brown locks in annoyance.

"I've lived with this…curse… for a good while now…" he spoke, his voice emotionless as he continued telling his tale. "…You can tell by now that I turn into a vampire at night and I need to feed on people to survive."

"It's wrong!" Serenity blurted out in anger. She hadn't meant to but her anger had driven her to it. Her head was out of her little hole and out in the open. She truly regretted it now as he saw him glare at her with those crimson eyes of his.

"Don't you think I know that!" he spat out, his tone filled with anger and annoyance.

"No" she blurted once more. She mentally slapped herself, regretting her words once more. She was getting herself into a dangerous situation by retorting back every one of his statements. But she couldn't help it!

"I'm not the kind of guy you think I am…" he stated plainly.

Serenity kept quiet at this statement. She pursed her lips together before she said something she might regret once again.

"I kill…useless people" he continued, his tone calm and emotionless.

"They still have a right to live! And what about your employees, are they useless!" she retorted, remembering the article that was on the Kaiba Corp. employees. She couldn't stop the anger and hate anymore. It coursed through her veins and spilled out into the open into rash words. It was evident to her now that her anger had a mind of its own. He too couldn't believe her anger. She was in a state of oblivion and fear but that completely washed over and all that was left was anger. Fresh anger.

"I… didn't kill them. Other vampires did" he replied heatedly.

"There is more of your kind?" she asked quizzically, the anger ebbed for the moment.

"I wouldn't call them my kind exactly" he spat.

"What?"

Her lack of understanding was beginning to annoy him but he continued nonetheless. "They…are stronger than me. They were born as vampires from the beginning." He told, his voice becoming firmer. "My… species… are rare and I don't even bother to…mingle with them" he spat vehemently.

She was quiet as she began analyzing all this information. Stronger than him? His species?

"Yes stronger and I am a half-vampire" he said, rolling his eyes at the last part. He thought she would've figured it out by now. She gasped… as he expected.

"How…did…you-"

"I can read your mind, know your deepest fears and your darkest desires" he told. "And your deepest fear right now is…me. Am I right?"

Her eyes widened quickly but then narrowed. He was really starting to infuriate her.

…and know your deepest desires…

The last part struck her and she didn't know why. It echoed through her mind constantly. She shook her head and involuntary blushed. She didn't know why but she did. The thought of him knowing her deepest desires was making her uncomfortable. She really didn't have any deep desires so why was she uncomfortable?

Kaiba noticed the tinge of red in her face and arched an eye-brow. "Is…there something your hiding?"

"No!" she argued. She hugged her knees even more. She didn't need him to probe into her mind anymore. He chuckled softly, amused. She narrowed her eyes even more.

I want to go home… She whined in her mind.

"Not yet…I still need to get some things straight with you"

"Stop reading my mind!" she blurted out again.

"Temper Wheeler or your end up like your friend"

She cringed as he said that. Tea…I'm so sorry…

"You should be"

She growled softly, pursing her lips to hold back her rash words. But it didn't work. "She should have gotten a second chance!"

"I can't risk that"

"Then why are you give me a second chance?" she asked. By saying this, she knew Kaiba might reconsider killing her but she couldn't stop all this anger that was burning out.

"Do you not want it?" he spoke gazing at her. His eyes suddenly became enticing but she looked away, not wanting to be caught in its crimson rivers. She continued being silent.

"Your silence says it all…"

"But you still haven't answered my question." Her pride was too much, just like Kaiba's. If there was going to be a war, than so shall it be.

"Mokuba" he uttered. One word was all that was needed.

"Of course…" she muttered.

"No she isn't here" the girl replied back, stifling a yawn.

"Okay thank you. Sorry to bother you" Joey said as he hung up. Well that was it. That was the last person in her address book. He sighed as he let himself drop on her bed. He stroked a hand through his hair again, becoming frustrated.

"Serenity…where are you?"

He examined the feather again and blew a puff of air towards his blond bangs. He threw it aside, coming to the conclusion that it was just a bird. But still, something about this feather was different. He picked up his phone again and the feather, dialing Yugi's phone number, hoping he would find some answers there. Yugi was studying to become an archeologist but he had some scientific skills in him. He hoped that it would be enough to help him solve this.
