I'm so glad people liked it! (I think my family thinks I'm crazy now…-_-") Anyway this chapters just a flashback, a explanation to why poor Seto is standing out in the rain. ^-^ Thank you guys so much for the reviews!
~*~*~
It had all started with a simple business trip…He had gone on so many before, but none was like this one. Jou had gone with him to the airport to see him off. " Do you have ta go? A weeks so long.."
"Stop your whining puppy, and I'll bring you a treat." Seto smirked as Jou frowned. "Besides" Seto pointed out. "Its not like I haven't gone on these trips before." Seto didn't really want to go, but this was an important trip.
"I know, but something about this trip just seems different…It feels like something bad is going to happen." Jou looked behind Seto at the plane he was going to ride.
Seto smiled down at his puppy "I'll be fine. I'll come back, I promise." He placed a quick kiss on Jou's cheek and walked over to the line of people waiting to board the plane. He handed the attendant his ticket, sparing a last longing look over his shoulder to see his lover still standing there looking at him.
Jou waved to him, pouting slightly when Seto didn't wave back. Taking his ticket from the lady he continued onto the plane taking his seat and pulling out a newspaper and waiting for the flight to finish.
He arrived at 6:00pm, because he had refused to eat the food served on the plane he stopped by a small charming restaurant. The food was very good, but he would never have thought that it would be his last as human.
After he was done he had decided to go and look for the "treat" he had promised Jou. The meetings didn't start till 1:30 tomorrow so he had sometime to burn before he checked into the hotel. He walked down a quite, empty street, peering into the windows. In a small shop at the end of the street he saw the perfect thing, it was a small brown stuffed puppy dog. In its mouth it held a red heart with 'I love you' written across it.
Walking into the store he had the owner wrap it in a pretty box with a bow on it, smiling he walked out. He paused outside looking around getting his bearings. Walking down the street he was practicing the speech he had to make tomorrow holding Jou's present in one hand. He was so absorbed in putting the finishing touches on it he didn't hear the footsteps behind him…What a mistake.
The next thing he new the person had run past him grabbing the box out of his hand and running down a dark alley. Swearing under his breath Seto ran after him. 'How dare he! When I'm done with him he'll wish he were dead…If he's not already..'
Ducking into the same alley, he looked around for the man. Spotting him at the end of the alley Seto stalked toward him. "You shouldn't follow people into dark alleys." The man informed him smirking. "You never know what you will find in them." Seto looked around him taken back as four more men stepped from the shadows. "Leave now and we will let you live." The man offered.
He should have left then, but he had taken worse odds, and they had taken Jou's present. He stepped back into a fighting stance. "Give back my stuff now and leave and I will left you live, maybe."
The man laughed, tossing Jou's present up and down. Seto fought down a growl. "Get him boys." He ordered leaning back against a wall to watch.
The men swarmed towards Seto. The first one caught Seto's fist in his stomach, curling up he dropped into the ground. Swinging around he struck the next one in his nose, he smirked inwardly as he felt a warm gush of blood. 'Two down two to go..' The next man hit him hard in the stomach, knocking the wind from his lungs. The next blow caught him in his back. Dropping to his knees he swung his arm out, tripping the man in front of him. Finishing him with a elbow to the face he looked around for the other guy when a strong arm wrapped around his neck. He flinched he should have been watching for that…Clawing at the mans arm with one hand he rammed his elbow into the mans balls. The man let out a pained groan, dropping to his knees. Seto stood up slowly, smirking at the fallen men around him. He had almost forgotten about the man who had first lured him here…His biggest mistake in his whole life.
Suddenly his world shattered, his whole body was racked with pain. Starring down with surprise at the blade sheathed in his side. He took a shaky breath, slowly dropping back to his knees, yanking the dagger out. He looked up at the man. He managed a glare before falling over.
It hurt so much, he didn't even hear the man walk away. All he could feel was his life blood spill away and that horrible pain…He lay there for what felt like hours, though it was only a few minutes. 'Jou I'm so sorry…It doesn't look like I'll be able to keep my promise…' He knew he was going to die.

Author's note: Well I was going to end the chapter now, but that would be two cliffhangers in a row…seemed to be too mean, so on with the story! ^-^

"Well, well…What do we have here?" Seto felt someone nudge him and let out a low groan at the resulting pain. He forced his eyes open, trying to focus on the figure standing over him. Kneeling down next to Seto, the man looked at the blood that blossomed from the wound frowning. "Tell you what since I'm in a good mood I'll offer you a chance for life. I can save you. Do you want me to?"
"Save me? How?" Seto whispered, he knew that there was no way the man could help him, he had lost too much blood. Nothing could save him now. Or so he thought.
"There are beings other then human in this world of ours. I am one of the other beings."
"What?" This man wasn't making any sense. It was making Seto's head hurt to think about the possibilities.
"I'm talking about vampires. I'll make you into one…I wouldn't do this for anyone…But I have seen few as beautiful as you. What do you say?" The man ran a gentle hand across Seto's face.
'Vampires?' Seto wondered 'If he saves me I could keep my promise to Jou...Is it worth losing my soul?' Seto gasped as the man gently lifted his head and placed it on his folded jacket. "Yes…"
Leaning forward with his hair falling across Seto's face the man tilted his face, his fangs slowly extending. Seto arched slightly as he bit down on his neck. It hurt but in a way it also felt good. He didn't want it to end, but it did. 'After all, I don't suppose I have much blood left anyway…'
Lifting his wrist he scratched a deep cut in it. Placing his wrist at Seto's mouth he let the blood flow in. Seto wasn't so sure he wanted to do this anymore… 'Would you give up everything?', a soft voice at the back of his head asked. 'I don't know…', he replied trying to think past the fuzziness that inhabited his thoughts. But the blood was flowing and it was now or never, he was going to drown in the blood or he had to swallow…
He drank. The blood was sweet and heady, and he drank ravenously. After a while he realized that it didn't hurt anymore. He could feel the power flowing through his veins. His strength was returning, and his vision was clearing. He sat up holding his head looking at his savior.
'What have I done?'
