It was night. However in the city center a man was working alone in n office. Seto Kaiba was working alone in front of his computer screen. Outside the sky was full of black clouds and sometimes a lightning was tearing the sky but he didn't care. His fingers were moving nervously on the keyboard. His stare was blank in his icy-blue eyes and while sometimes he seemed being in tension, some others he seemed not to communicate with reality. A breath of cold wind waved his hair once.

"What are you doing here?" he asked coldly

"Kaiba you don't need to pretend. I know that you know." Yami said, who got in by the window and walked in front of him.

Kaiba raised his head and stroke Yami with a glare full of hate and contempt.

"I know you know who I am, that I am a vampire, that you know Bakura. I saw you last night. I know you have been watching me, Kaiba and I know Bakura is blackmailing you keeping Mokuba hostage."

A flash of hate appeared in Kaiba's icy-blue eyes.

"And now what do you want from me?" he said coldly

"To help you. I know where they are keeping him! I can help you set him free!"

Kaiba smirked sarcastically.

"Why so much courtesy all of the sudden?" he said with heavy sarcasm.

Yami tried to hold his anger.

"I need your help to eliminate Bakura. You know what he is planning. If you helped me, I would be totally grateful and to prove it to you I will help you to get Mokuba back"

Kaiba remained silent and cold like an unexpressed doll. Yami leaned on the desk.

"I really want to become your friend, Kaiba"

"Friend?" Kaiba chuckled ironically

His eyes gazed right into Yami's and flashed with hatred.

"You and your kind will never be friends with us! You have nothing to do with us! You and your kind are all the same! Bloodthirsty monsters!"

Yami took a step back. He wasn't expecting those words that were sharp like knives.

"What do you mean, Kaiba?"

"You don't deserve being in this world! You don't deserve any sympathy!"

Slowly he passed his hand under his desk.

"You and your kind the only thing you know is causing pain to the people!"

His fingers found a metal object.

"…only pain and nothing else!"

His fingers clenched around that object.

"…That's why…"

His eyes hardened suddenly. He then jumped up from his chair with no warning holding a knife and screaming:

"…PREPARE YOURSELF TO DIE VAMPIRE!"

Yami jumped backwards, totally surprised, to avoid the blade just in time before it would have slice his face in two! Kaiba didn't give up and kept on trying to cut Yami with mania. The blade was barely missing Yami who was avoiding it cause he knew very well how dangerous…a Hunters' blade was!

"What are you doing?!" he yelled, "I want to help you find your brother!"

"My brother is DEAD!" Kaiba screamed while he kept brandishing the knife towards shocked Yami.

"They brought me his body this morning! They killed him because I couldn't deter you from entering the hideout! Even though judging from the condition his body was, I doubt there was any blood left in his veins to drink it!"

"Kaiba…"

"THEY KILLED HIM BECAUSE OF YOU!"

Yami, in order to avoid the knife, leaped on the wall and then doing a handspring in the air he landed behind Kaiba.

"I don't want to fight you Kaiba"

"Then try to defend yourself!"

While Kaiba kept attacking, Yami's anger was getting bigger and bigger. Primordial vampires' instincts started to rebel inside him. The instinct of survival. His face, hardened. That moment he didn't have a known person in front of him but a furious Hunter! His eyes started to glow red and his fangs started to come out. And when Kaiba was ready to stab the knife in Yami's head, Yami's hand moved by instinct and grabbed Kaiba's wrist stopping the knife barely some centimeters from his face! Even though Kaiba had knowledge on vampires' strength, Yami's strength surprised him. Because his hand was now trapped, he tried to punch him with the other but Yami grabbed his fist too with his other hand. Yami's red, glowing eyes stuck into his. Then Yami pushed him hard. Kaiba flew back and hit his back on the desk. All things that were on the desk, fell on the floor with tremendous noise. Kaiba, dizzy, shook his head and saw Yami who was approaching him with his crimson-red eyes looking at him angrily and with his two sharp fangs visible from his clenched teeth.

"Don't provoke me!" he growled.

Without taking his eyes off him, Kaiba searched with his hand for the knife. He found it. He got up again and tried to rush at Yami. Yami kicked his hand, the knife slipped from his hand and landed on a high shelf. Then before he had the chance even to breathe, Yami's hand grabbed his neck like a vice, that suddenly that cut his breath at once. Yami started lifting him up with just one hand. Now his toes were barely touching the floor. Yami, slowly and methodically was crushing his neck! With his last breath Kaiba decided not to give up! With his hand started searching at the high places for the knife again. For one more time he found it. He passed the blade through Yami's flesh making a deep cut on his arm. Yami growled in pain and was forced to let go of him. He looked at his wound that was pretty deep, from which plenty and red blood was flowing. He licked his wound and tasted his own blood. His mind cloudy by his rage and by the sight and smell of blood, Yami kneeled Kaiba in the stomach. Kaiba fell on his knees and the knife left his hand again. Yami caught it in the air and pointed the blade towards Kaiba. Even though Kaiba was still struggling for air, he glared at him.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Kill me…vampire!" he spat the last word like venom

"As you wish!" Yami growled and raised the knife ready to stab Kaiba's heart.

"Yami! No!" it was as if he was hearing Yugi's voice in his head (as he remembered Yugi.)

This woke him up! He turned around harshly and threw the knife, which got stabbed in the wall. He turned to look at Kaiba again. His eyes were back to normal again.

"I don't want to fight you" he repeated

Kaiba remained sat on the floor. He bent his head.

"Mokuba…" he whispered in a trembling voice

"Kaiba I understand how you feel…"

"No! You don't! Mokuba…was everything to me and you took him away from me! You can only cause pain!"

"Believe me Kaiba I understand completely! And you better don't talk about pain! Look at me! Do you think I like killing people every day? And if I don't then the pain is unbearable! Do you think I enjoy hurting my brother? Drinking his blood? Trying to remember my past and not being able to?"

"Good for you!"

"No, Kaiba! Good for you! Mokuba hasn't died! He still lives in your memories. Death isn't the end, Kaiba! Oblivion is!"

Kaiba clenched his teeth.

"Don't talk about pain Kaiba cause I already had enough of it!"

Kaiba brought his hand to his stomach, which hurt, and moaned when he tried to stand. Yami tried to ignore as much as possible the smell of blood and sometimes he would lick his wound that was starting to heal.

"I am sorry…" he said in a low voice

"I don't want your pity…vampire!" Kaiba groaned

Yami smiled. Now he hadn't told that with so much hatred. Suddenly a loud noise was heard and the window broke into thousands pieces. Some sharp glasses plunged into Kaiba's flesh! Kaiba cried out loudly!

"Kaiba!" Yami exclaimed.

However then, from the broken window Fallen ones started to jump in, all of them famished!

"Dammit!" Kaiba and Yami exclaimed in a union.

Yami leaped among the Fallen ones to protect Kaiba that from his arm and leg was running much blood. While Yami was fighting, Kaiba crawled on the floor and reached the knife that was stabbed in the wall. He pulled it out quite difficultly cause it was stabbed pretty deep.

"Yami!" he yelled and he threw it to him

Yami caught it and kept fighting! Kaiba pulled a glass out of his leg and struggled to stand back to his feet, supporting his back against the wall. The smell of his blood drew three Fallen ones who got him to the corner!

"You won't get me alive!" he yelled and kicked the desk's chair, which had fallen there, at them.

Then he pulled a glass out of his shoulder harshly and stabbed it in a Fallen one's hand.

"Yami! This way!" he yelled.

Yami that the knife had broken by the hard struggle leaped and landed right next to Kaiba. Ignoring Kaiba's protests, he wrapped Kaiba's arm around his shoulders, helping him to walk, and they got out of the door. But they were going slowly…tormentingly slowly. He barely had time to find the elevator and they got in closing the door behind them. The elevator started going down.

"Dammit!" Yami said, "We're trapped!"

Kaiba, exhausted by the pain and the blood loss, leaned against the roomy elevator's wall and slipped down to it till he sat on the ground…puffed…blooded. He was loosing too much blood…and fast! The glasses must have torn some artery. Inside the smaller space Yami was feeling the scent of blood more intensely. He was feeling his instinct calling for blood desperately. His throat, dry, was burning and his eyes glowed red. He held his neck and turned his head elsewhere.

"Now…at this point…only one of us will get out of here alive…" Kaiba groaned in pain

"I know…" Yami growled

"We must do something"

Yami turned his head to face him spasmodically.

"I know…" he said again panting.

His eyes were focusing on blood. His fangs had lengthened. Moaning in pain Kaiba pulled another glass out of his hip. Yami gasped. No! Not now! This time he would resist! His stomach, though, had other plans. It growled violently. His heart started to beat loudly again and his veins started to throb. Air didn't seem enough all of the sudden. He fell on the floor gasping.

"What's wrong now, Muto?"

"It's…nothing… It's just…the smell of blood…"

He kept panting and every muscle of his body was trembling. Kaiba crawled in front of him.

"Like I said…only one of us will get out of here alive!"

Yami raised his head and looked at him with his red eyes. He was shocked in sweat now. Kaiba grabbed his jaw and pulled his face close to his before saying:

"And to be clear! I am not doing this for you! I am doing it for my little brother! I am doing it for Mokuba!"

And before Yami had time to ask, Kaiba raised his head and placed it to his shoulder.

"Now drink my blood!"

Yami gasped for one more time, surprised. He was so close to his neck…he could hear the blood in the veins!

"Do it! I prefer to die rather than those monsters to catch me! I am doomed anyway! Drink it!"

Yami gave into his instincts. He sank his fangs into Kaiba's neck…

"Hungry…hungry…" and he was drinking.

He was swallowing full sips. On the elevator's roof the Fallen ones had started to rumple the emergency exit with their fists. On the ground floor, right out of the elevator's door, more of them were waiting…

Inside the elevator the only thing you could hear was a thirsty breath. Yami was drinking. Something deep inside him was telling him to stop but he simply couldn't. Kaiba, with the strength that remained inside him, put his hand in his pocket and took out a small object.

"Yami…"

Yami opened his red eyes and looked at him but he didn't remove his teeth from his neck. He kept drinking. Kaiba put the small object in Yami's palm.

"Take this…" he whispered, "…and kill Bakura… You'll know what to do…"

And in a last effort he said:

"Take it…and don't screw them up…Yami…" and passed away.

Yami, totally crushed, got away from Kaiba. Seto Kaiba… Dead… By his hand! Such a small ending for such a great person and so brave brother! Yami's clothes were shocked with his blood. His hands were also stained with blood. He looked at the object in his palm. It was a round amulet made of ebony. In the middle it had a Pentacle, symbol for magic, drawn with gold paint. However that Pentacle was upside down…the symbol of Black Magic. Yami held the ebony amulet in his palm. What could that mean? In his mind he could still hear the last thought Kaiba had made.

"Awakening…Awakening…"

He couldn't understand! The bell of the elevator was heard and the doors opened. Before the Fallen ones anticipated seeing that coming, Yami leaped over them and ran out to the streets. Outside hard hail was falling…

Another chapter! I hope you liked it! Raise your hands all of you who saw that coming! Hehehe!

Well...Mokuba is also dead. To explain some things, the Fallen ones were sent there by Bakura to eliminate Kaiba. Yami just happened to be there! Also some more evidence here...why that symbol of Black Magic is here and what did Kaiba mean with "Awakening"?
Wait and see!

Btw the peaces of glass that hit Kaiba were not small at all! Sometimes you can imagine something even this big (Yuuki is holding it in Vampire Knight Guilty, episode 8 I think!)

The scene with Kaiba asking Yami drink his blood is inspired from the last episode of Vampire Knight!
