Vampire Blood

Chapter 4

Inside the huge room it was pretty much pitch black except for the lights dancing on the walls and ceiling. At one end of the room were a load of speakers and stereo equipment where the DJ was operating the music. People were everywhere dancing or attempting to chat. In another section were tables and chairs. The gang grabbed a table, sitting down. Being there was only one chair left Miyu put her feet up so if Seto came by he couldn't sit next to her. A new song started.

"Hey! They're playing 'Perfect World'! I love this song," Miyu started humming.

"Hey, Ryou! Why don't you dance with Miranda." It wasn't a question. Yoko smiled as Ryou turned to look at her.

"Nani?"

"You heard me. Dance with Miranda." He sighed, nervous. Ryou wasn't like Joey, would embarrass himself to no end and not care.

"Miranda, would you like to dance?"

"Okay." Ryou sweatdropped, feeling uneasy. He took her hand and they walked out into the crowd, quickly becoming lost.

"Two down," Tristan started.

"Two to go," Yoko finished. Joey looked up as Tea began blushing.

"Nani," Joey asked, looking at Tea red face. She just shook her head wildly then laughed nervously, becoming redder. Joey blinked, confused of course. "Okay. Well, you want a soda, Tea?" She nodded as he got up. "What kind?"

"Sprite, please."

"Miyu?"

"Pepsi, please."

"Yo, Yuge. Tristan, come with me."

"Alright."

"Sure," Tristan said, getting up. "Would you like one, Yoko?"

"Hai, Sprite, please," she chirped. Nodding, the three walked off. Tea glared at the others girls.

"Are you trying to embarrass me!?"

"We don't have to try," Yoko started.

"We just are," Miyu began singing to 'Get Along' which was now playing. "Aremo shitai, koremo shitai. Onna no ko ni mietatte. Yudan shitara jigoku iki yo. Jama wa sasenaikara." She was cut off by hearing a deep mysterious voice.

"Is this seat taken," the red eyed boy asked. Miyu looked up at him, then down at her feet, and moved them. He smiled and sat next to her. She blinked and could feel herself blushing. "Konnichiwa, I'm Yami. What's your name?"

"Nani?" The music was drowning out his voice now that he was talking lower. He leaned closer.

"My name is Yami. What's yours?"

"Miyu." He smiled sweetly.

"That's a pretty name. I saw you come in." Miyu made a face.

"Then you must have seen Seto on me. He's not my boyfriend just to let you know."

"I know. It rather entertaining watching you yell at him."

"Oh, well, I'm glad I entertained you this evening. May I ask why?"

"Because you're so kawaii." She just stared, a bit wide-eyed. She was beginning to believe in love at first sight. She blinked, looking at Yami's smiling face. She could tell that Tea and Yoko were staring but she didn't care.

"Arigato. You are, too." He smirked.

"Would you like to dance?" he asked, rising from his seat.

"Hai, I'd love to." She took the hand he offered her and walked out on the dance floor. Seto was at a table in the corner of the room, sipping a soda. He soon spat it out upon seeing Miyu dancing with a boy. If it weren't for his height, Seto would have thought it was Yugi. Still, he was angry at the fact that the boy was dancing with her and that it wasn't him. He stood, making his way over.

"You're good," Yami said, twirling her. She smiled, facing him.

"Arigato. You are, too. I love to dance."

'Dancing,' Yami thought, trying to remember. "Have we met?"

"Iie. I defiantly would've remembered. But it seems as if we have." Yami nodded, indicating that he had the same feeling.

"Mind if I cut in?" Seto looked rather PO'd.

"Hai, I do mind."

"Oh, you must be Seto."

"You must be new."

"Seto, just because you own your own company doesn't mean that everyone knows you. I sure wish I didn't know you." Seto placed a hand over his heart.

"That hurts."

"Do I look like I care?" Seto shrugged. "So what's your problem anyway? We were dancing if you hadn't noticed."

"Oh, I noticed alright!"

"Are we jealous?" Miyu gave an evil grin.

"Of him?!" He looked down at the red eyed youth who was glaring up at him.

"Look, we're not dating so you don't have watch me, thinking I'm cheating on you or something. Got it?" Seto and Yami continued to stare at each other. "Moshi, moshi," she called in a sing-song tone.

"You're not going to rid of me that easily."

"And you're not going to get me that easily." Yami decided to stop this. He reached over and took Miyu's wrist.

"Let's go. I don't want him to bother you."

"Fine with me." They walked off, leaving Seto to watch them depart. "Um, where are we going?"

"Outside. I need some fresh air. You don't mind, do you?" Miyu shook her head as he smiled at her. There was a gentle breeze and the stars were shining. Yami took a deep breath and stretched. "It's so stuffy in there." Miyu nodded, agreeing. He turned to her, a mysterious gleam in his eyes. He suddenly seemed dazed until Miyu spoke.

"Yami?"

"Huh? Oh, gomen. I must've spaced out there for a second, I guess. I swear I've met you before."
"I would've remembered," she concluded, smiling. She then watched as his eyes shifted slightly and narrowed.

"Get lost." She turned to see Seto.

"You are impossible!"

"So?" This time, Miyu grabbed Yami's wrist.

"Let's go back inside."

"Okay, sweetheart," Yami said, wrapping his arm around her waist, walking past a very angry Seto Kaiba. Miyu blinked for a second but then happily rested her head on Yami's shoulder. They continued into the crowd to lose themselves.
