Wow…so many reviews, over a hundred…now, low and behold, a brand new chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*starry eyes* I love all of you people…but why are so many girls attracted to yaoi couples?  Besides the obvious kawaiiness factor.  Just something to chew on.

And, um, please forgive my complete ignorance of the Japanese school system, hehe. ^_^u            It's going to be based on my own…kinda.

Blood Lust

Chapter_06: Black Envelope

_~ + ~_

Yugi yawned and stretched his cramped limbs. (a/n: kawaii!!!!)  Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, Yugi stood up and made his way over to the shower, glancing at the clock on his way out.  Red numbers glowed 5:45 AM.

Ugh.  To early.  Me no wanna go to school.

After a quick shower, he made his way over to the closet, throwing on whatever appealed to him.  Black sleeve-less shirt, blue jacket, and blue, leather pants.  They could take away his black, but not his leather.  Now, time to leave before the others came to pick him up.

Quietly, he grabbed his books, shoved them into his backpack, along with some money, and dashed out of the Kame Game Shop.  He looked at his watch; 6:20.

Great!  They won't be here for another 10 minutes! Yugi thought gleefully.

The only problem with leaving early was that he had way too much time to do nothing at school.  And that usually meant getting cornered by one of the senseis and being forced to do tasks around campus.  Eurgh.  Life was cruel.

But it took him about 10 minutes walking to school, 15 if he took his time, 20 if he went really, really slow.  So he set off, headphones in place, listening to Ayumi Hamasaki for whatever reason.

(A/N:  I just started listening to her a couple weeks ago…)

Humming along to Trauma, he pictured a pair of crimson eyes in his head, a slight blush spreading across his cheeks.

Realizing whom he was picturing, he mentally kicked himself in the head.

Baka Yugi! He chided himself mentally. You are not supposed tot think of a Vampire that way!  It's just wrong!  You are a Hunter, not prey, and you will not fall for a Leech!!!!

Except for maybe Yami….

Urusei.

Make me.

Why am I talking to my self???

Are you asking me?

Wouldn't that be asking myself?

How would I know, I'm not you

Yes you are!

It's a figure of speech, durh!

Whatever.

Yugi shook his head, clearing his thoughts.  Glancing up, he saw that he had reached the school.  Taking off his headphones, he made his way up the stairs and into the prison they called school.  He shuddered.

¤ Yugi's POV ¤

I headed over to my first period class, Literature (English, basically).  Oh joy.  And my teacher, Tenshii-sensei, was not what her name suggested.  Sure it meant angel, but it had an extra 'i', a small, but noticeable difference. (My English teacher is Miss Angell, but some call her Miss Devil.  She's okay, just creepy for a 22 year old.)  Hehe.  She was a red-haired devil with auburn eyes, with a hyper personality that would make her burst out in song or dance or a weird sound, and wore the same outfit over, and over, and over again!!!!!

Sighing, I make my way down the halls towards my locker, hoping the day would go by fast.

Reaching it, I spin the lock.

38…………16………24…*click*!!!

Upon opening of the locker, a small, black envelope falls out and gently flutters to the ground.  My curiosity getting the better of me, I reach down, gently clasping the letter between two fingers.

I looked up.  No one was around.

Carefully lifting the tab up, I pull the letter out and unfold it.  It is written on a creamy paper, and the script was in bold, swift letters written in crimson ink.

Yami………

Get over yourself

Shut up

………fine………

Grinning slightly, I begin to read.

Yugi,                                                               

You are invited to an exclusive bash

at Las Noches on April first at nine.

Don't be late; you don't want to upset your host.

After all, how can a Hunter pass up such a chance?

You may bring your friends,

They will provide some mildly interesting entertainment…

                                                                                                ~ Yami

And he expected me to come?  Well, of course I would, and the rest of my circle had been trying to get an invite to this particular bash for a while…and they would go if an opportunity presented itself…

But then again the bash was on April fools, an American holiday, what if the entire thing was a trap? 

And despite all of my dislike for vampires, I couldn't help but trust Yami.

Maybe he'll be wearing leather…I thought dreamily, slightly drooling.

No!!! Bad Yugi, very bad Yugi!  Don't think such thoughts about Yami in leather…*drool* …this sucks …

Shaking my head, I look down at my watch, 6:40.  Class started in twenty minutes, and people were already walking in.

Including my friends.  Kuso.

And there they were, walking down the hall, all looking pissed, except for Ryou.

"Hey Yugi!" Ryou called, a grin plastered on his face.

"Where were you today?  We waited outside of your house for ten minutes before we decided to leave!"  Anzu exclaimed, frowning, her eyes seeming to grow cold. (I should have left her as prey instead of a hunter…)

"I woke up early, took a shower, and left." I explained coldly.

"Well, why the hell didn't you wait for us?!  You're grandfather would have killed us if we didn't come with you to school!!!!"  Honda yelled.

That struck a chord.  Was that the reason they put up with me?  Because I was Sugoroku's grandson?!?!  Damn, Yami was right.  Bloody Vampire.  That was it; I was no longer putting up with these bakas!!!

"You want to know why?" I ask coldly, letting my aura flare up slightly, so they could feel it dancing upon their skin.  They never knew how powerful I became, and they were going to find out.  Using my mind, I 'convinced' everyone in sight to leave, giving us some privacy.

"Yes." Hondas stated simply, glaring at me.  But I could feel his confidence waver, my power affecting him.

"You bakayaros have been pushing the limit, always putting me down, never accepting the full extent of my power."  I doubled the size of my aura again.

"Always rejecting my accomplishments, and then praising that pathetic excuse for a hunter Honda!" I spat.

"And you know what?" My voice asks, dangerously low.  "I am sick of your pathetic little group, and I am denouncing my role, what ever it may be, in your circle."

I finally unleash my aura, making them shudder and cringe away from me in fear.  I fire a bolt of energy at Honda first, watching him convulse in pain.  Anzu followed, and then Jou.  Shizuka didn't attend this school, and so that left Ryou.  Poor, sweet, innocent Ryou.  I was like him, in some ways still am.  Hesitating, I lower my arm, he shouldn't be harmed, and he is now the under-dog of the group.

The power subsides, leaving three unconscious.  Turning to Ryou, I held out my hand.  He looked at me with wide eyes, most likely wondering why I spared him.

"Come on, we're going to be late for Literature if we don't hurry up."

He takes my hand, and I pull him up.

"Why?" He asks softly.  I turn around, facing the snowy haired boy.

"To which question?  I will answer one for now, so choose carefully."

"Why did you not harm me?"

"I used to be like you."

Turning around, we both make our way quietly to our class, side by side, hoping that the other would be happy.

Sappy ending, but who cares?  Reviews please!!!!  And tell me if you want a lemon.  Or if you want a role in the fic.  Say this in the review, not in e-mail.
