Bakura leaded Yami to the balcony. The night was calm and the sky was clean. Although it was nearly winter it was a rather warm night. Bakura stood there staring at the gardens while Yami was glaring at him.

"It's a beautiful night don't you think?"

No response from Yami. He kept glaring at him like frozen. Bakura's smirk started to tremble as if he was holding himself from bursting into laughter.

"Of course! You enjoyed it particularly!"

He turned to look at him.

"Very passionate dance…even for a vampire!"

"Why did you invite me?" Yami asked coldly, never stopping glaring at him even for an instant.

For one more time Bakura seemed trying to hold his laughter.

"Because you really interest me Yami! You interest me because you are like me!"

Yami's face did an unwilling but still visible twitch. Bakura grinned, revealing his teeth.

"You are like me!"

"Explain yourself!"

"The blood…" Bakura grinned, "…You can't resist in human blood and deep inside you don't want to because you like it!"

Yami felt like someone had punched him on the stomach but tried not to show it.

"That's not true!" he said.

"Really?…"

Bakura brought his nail to his neck and scratched it leaving a red line of blood. When Yami saw and smelled the blood, gasped and his eyes glowed red. He grabbed his neck suffocating. Bakura chuckled.

"Even though you have fed some hours earlier, you react with blood because deep inside you want to keep feeding with it! You're just trying to convince yourself otherwise! If you really didn't want it, you would have started controlling yourself!"

Yami grimaced as if someone hit him with no warning. Could Bakura be right?! While Bakura's scratch started to heal, he felt his heart calming down and his breathing stabilizing. Was it possible?!

"It can't be!" he thought.

Sweat started to form on his forehead.

"That's a lie!" he said trying to sound more certain than he was.

"Really? Then tell me why do you keep drinking your brother's blood?"

Now he hit his sensitive cord!

"Yeah, I know what you'll say…He asks for it but if you really didn't like it then why do you give in completely and don't resist at all? Admit it! You're yearning for human blood! See? You and I are similar!"

"We're not similar at all!"

"But we do! Look at me. I can't resist either" he shrugged, "and I don't want to! Why to object to my nature?"

"If you dare harm Yugi, I will hunt you! No matter how long it takes!" he whispered and turned to leave towards inside.

"Yami"

Yami turned around.

"If I were you, I would be careful…Especially if I have something to protect, because if you're foolish, you must pay!"

Yami felt the threat in his words and that made his blood boil. He just headed inside. Bakura remained alone chuckling in the balcony in the night…

Yami headed to the table, walking enraged. His blood was boiling in anger.

"Damn him!" he was murmuring through clenched teeth. "Damn him!"

He went to the table, grabbed a glass with wine and chugged it down with one sip. He hit the empty, crystal glass on the table. Took another one and emptied it the same quickly. With the corner of his eye saw Bakura getting back inside. He immediately clenched the glass in his hand that strongly, that the crystal cracked. While he was ready to drink his third glass, he distinguished vaguely, to the other corner of the hall, a tall brunette man. Was it just his idea or…

"Kaiba!" he whispered

However, his sight had disappeared almost that second. No matter how much he searched he didn't see him again.

"Just my imagination" he thought

He needed some fresh air so he headed towards the balcony again. There, leaning on the marble parapet, was Tea. Beautiful as a fairy as the full moon was lighting her all-white dress and her silk hair. Her skin seemed even paler and the moonlight was making her blue eyes, that were gazing the gardens, look even more deep and bright. For a second Yami gulped again. Then a smile crept on his lips and he headed towards her.

"Anzu…" he whispered softly

Yea turned around and saw him.

"Oh! Yami!...I was hoping you'd come!"

By just seeing her, he felt all his anger fading away at once. It gave it's place to that sweet tremble he had felt earlier while his heart started to flatter again.

"Where is Yugi?"

"He's fine. I saw him earlier at the table getting something to eat. Anyway he's just fine"

"I'm sure he'll be alright with you"

Tea blushed slightly again. Oh, how adorable and pretty was she! Yami was thinking how was it possible such a perfect creature to exist! Even her voice seemed like music to him!

"What are you doing here all by yourself?" asks again with the same tone in his deep voice.

"I was hot and I needed some fresh air!"

Yami smiled.

"Me too"

Teas straighten herself and turned her eyes towards the moon.

"Look at it!" said ecstatically, "isn't it beautiful?"

Yami couldn't resist and approached her from behind. Wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her closer.

"Beautiful…" he whispered in her ear.

Just his voice made her heart melt in her chest and as long as his strong arms were wrapped around her, she was feeling perfectly safe. She leaned her head back and rested it on his shoulder. Yami felt a shiver running down his body. By feeling her breath on his neck and seeing her slightly parted, desirable lips, his entire being was craving for her kisses. So beautiful…and now she seemed so delicate…Like a rose-petal… But what was that he was feeling? It wasn't just the lust he had felt at times. No, not at all! They remained like this and this was enough for Yami. He could stay like this forever…He took a deep breath.

"Anzu…" he whispered.

She turned her head and looked at him.

"Yes?"

"Do you want to dance?…" she looked at him straight to eye, "…something slow…"

"Of course! I would love to!" she whispered back.

Yami smiled. Bowed offering his hand to her. She accepted it blushing. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist. They started moving together in a slow circle in some silent rhythm. Not in the rhythm of music. Music wasn't reaching the balcony. They were dancing, hugged tightly in the silence of the moonlighted night…

"You look wonderful tonight…" he whispered to her while dancing.

"Thanks. You too, look very gorgeous."

"Thank you…"

A minute of silence followed. While they were dancing, Tea drew him closer and he did the same. Their bodies came closer. Just a little bit and you would think they'd become one. Tea for one more time rested her head on his shoulder, with her beautiful eyes closed. Her lips where smiling. This time Yami lowered his head and rested it on the top of hers. He was smelling her sweet scent…she was listening to his heartbeat…Ah, how loudly did it beat! She left herself unconditionally in his arms.

"Anzu…"

"Don't say anything!…" she whispered breathlessly, "…not yet…Oh, Yami!…Oh, Yami!…"

Yami didn't say no. They continued their slow dance without saying a thing. Both like this, the one into each other's arms, they were just feeling complete.

"Anzu…" he whispered, "I need to tell you something…"

He spins her slowly and they stopped. Now they were looking into each other's eyes. He took her hands in his. Her blush and her small gasp conquered him immediately. He leaded her to the parapet. She sat on it with her back against a pillar. Yami drew a deep breath.

"Anzu…I can't be away from you anymore! Since the very first time I saw you, I felt my heart flattering and a shiver ran through my body."

He drew another deep breath.

"Now, you'll tell me that I was a coward for not telling you from the beginning but how could I? How could I tell you that…I'm thinking of you all the time? That when I see you my heart jumps from joy? That whenever I turn my face you're there too?"

Tea brought her hand over her heart hoping she would stop its rapid rhythm. She seemed confused. Yami didn't blame her. His own soul was in a fog. He sat on the parapet next to her and grasped her shoulders.

"Yami…"

"You don't have to say anything. Just listen to me. The feelings that took over me where so unknown to me that…I didn't know what was happening to me. I didn't know what it was…till now."

He leaned closer to her. She didn't resist. Just the opposite. She leaned closer to him.

"Now I am sure…" he whispered while his lips were almost touching hers.

Their eyes closed and they kept leaning forward slowly. Their lips had almost met when a tremendous bang made them jerk up.

That was because: inside the dance hall everything was going well, when suddenly somebody or something hit so hardly on the two-leaved door that it collapsed on the floor. Then Fallen ones rushed into the hall, growling and screaming. Surprised screams filled the hall, but then as if prepared for this, the vampires drew out their swords or pistols and threw themselves into battle. Fallen ones kept coming not only from the broken door but also from the hall's balcony-like landing. They were jumping from it or coming down from the stairs. When Yugi saw them, he got panicked. He screamed in fear and started to run. Some Fallen ones started to run after him and they put him into a corner. Yugi continued to run in a panic.

"Yugi!" Yami exclaimed and stood up from the parapet.

"Yami wait!" Tea said. "come with me!"

Giving worried glances behind, over his shoulder, he followed her.

Meanwhile a Fallen one jumped in front of Yugi cutting his way. He grabbed his wrist and lifted him by it.

"NO!" Yugi screamed.

The Fallen one bit down in Yugi's neck violently. Yugi's eyes widened in pain…

Tea opened a door that leaded to a room…right arsenal! It had swords and guns of any kind. They were all Weapons of the Hunters. This was the room in which the invited could leave their weapons if they wanted. She grabbed the thong with her knife and fastened it around her thigh. She then grabbed a sword and threw it to Yami.

"Let's go!" she told him, "Quickly! Quickly!"

Gasping and crying with sobs, Yugi was feeling his blood leaving his body. Suddenly another Fallen one rushed onto the one that was holding him so he left him fall on the floor bleeding. While the two Fallen ones where fighting over who would have him, Yugi tried to crawl slowly backwards but his back found the wall. His sight was blur. Then one of the two Fallen ones stroke a strong scratch to the other so he rushed onto Yugi and bit down his wrist. Yugi screamed. All of the sudden a dagger torn the air and got stabbed into the Fallen one's back. The Fallen one turned into dust. Yugi looked upwards. Yami was standing on the stair's parapet with a sword in his right hand.

"YUGI!" he yelled.

"Yami…" he mumbled half-unconscious.

Yami leaped and got between Yugi and the Fallen ones (for a second time). He raised his sword and started literally mowing down heads! Because he was striking them with a sword of the Hunters whoever he was injuring fatally, it turned into dust. Yugi was breathing weakly and he leaned his head against the wall. While he was fighting, Yami saw from a few meters away, Tea who was fighting using her knife.

"Anzu! Sword!" he yelled and threw it to her.

She caught it in the air.

"Thanks!" she yelled back continued to battle.

Yami saw another sword on the floor in front of him. He used his foot to make it jump up, he caught it and continued battling! For a second he turned his head towards Yugi's direction.

"Yugi!" he called him

No reply. Tea leaped and landed next to him. They started to fight together back to back.

"They're too many! Almost hundreds!" Tea said before stabbing a Fallen one's heart.

"Yugi's not fine! We must take him out of here!"

"I agree…" she threw her sword and it got stabbed in the heart of a Fallen one. "…IMMEDIATELY!" she screamed finishing her sentence.

Yami picked Yugi up with one arm, with his free hand he grabbed Tea's hand and they started to run upwards on the stairs with a throng of Fallen ones following them. They reached the roof.

"And now what?...we're gonna fly?"

"Indeed" Yami answered.

"I don't have energy for something like that!"

"I do!"

They started jumping and running together on the roof. When Yami saw, they were still following them, put Yugi in Tea's arms.

"Take Yugi and go! I'll catch up with you!"

"But…"

"Go!" he yelled.

"Okay!" she responded.

Yami drew his sword again. He started to slash every Fallen one was coming close. After he had 'mowed down' a couple of lines, he threw his sword and ran after Tea. With no warning he grabbed her and lifted her up bridal-style without stopping running.

"Hold on me! And if you see I'm bleeding it means you're holding me tight enough!"

Tea nodded. Yami ran till the edge, he leaped and started to fly into the night sky. Once he flew he felt as if a knife was stabbed in his heart but he resisted the pain. He didn't have another choice. A Fallen one appeared near them.

"Watch it!" Tea yelled before stabbing him with her knife. Yami kept flying with huge speed towards the direction Tea had showed him.

"How is he?" he looked down.

Tea looked Yugi in her arms and then Yami with a worried look. Yami understood. They didn't have much time!

Meanwhile on the mansion's roof went Bakura with a smug smirk on his lips. From and internal pocket of his jacket he drew out a silver pistol. He loaded a bullet.

"Yami…" he said, "You may ran away this time but you can't hide from me! I will find you!"

He raised the pistol and aimed it towards Yami.

"Till then…take a souvenir from me!" and pulled the trigger.

In the air Yami, exhausted, was searching with his eyes the place.

"We must reach your place before…"

His phrase was cut in the middle when a bullet found his shoulder.

"YAMI!" Tea screamed.

Like a wounded eagle, started to fall. He fell on the ground with Tea in his arms, who was holding Yugi in her lap. Tea raised her head and saw a door almost hidden among the shrubs.

"Come on, Yami! Come on!"

Passes Yami's arm around her shoulders and supporting him with unexpected strength, she walked till the door. She opened it and shut it behind her. Only then put Yugi and Yami down and took some relieved breaths. They did it! They reached her place!

Here is the next chap!

The ball didn't have sucsess huh? What's this? Kaiba? Or maybe...Yugi almost killed by Fallen ones and Tea helped them!...Yes Tea didn't know how to fly!...
