Bakura: *grins, then slams Ryou against a wall, holding him up by his collar*

Ryou: *screams* Ba-bakura, ple-please!

Bakura: *slaps him* Quiet runt. I don't need you pitiful screams. *drops him to the floor, and kicks him in the stomach*

Ryou: *curls up into a little ball, trying not to cry*

Bakura: *grabs his hair and pulls him up* I don't hate you runt, but you NEED to obey me...it might cost you your life. *punches him across the face*

Ryou: Bakura,... please ...stop! ....It hurts....I'm s-s-sorry..

Bakura: Do you promise not to disobey me again, runt?

Ryou: Y-yes, I pro-promise! I promise!

Bakura: good. *drops him, then kicks him once more before leaving*

Ryou: *just lays there*

Yugi: *walking by, spots Ryou on the floor* Ryou are you ok?!

Ryou: I'm fine. *gets up* I was just...thinking, that's all....

Yugi: You're sure? Come on, do you want to play hide and seek?

Ryou: No, not today, Yugi.

Yugi: aww....Ok, see you around then.:

Ryou: Okay, bye Yugi..

****A WEEK LATER****

Mokuba: *looks at monitor displaying Myou's vitals and sighs*

Akumi: *comes up behind him* What's wrong?

Mokuba: It's been over a week and there's still no change. She isn't reacting to the potion very well, either.

Akumi: What's wrong with her? Is she going to be okay?

Mokuba: *sighs* I don't know, I just don't know.

Akumi: Is there anything I can do to help? I feel so helpless....

Mokuba: No, there's nothing to be done. All we can do is wait.

Ryou: *comes in* Any luck Mokuba?

Akumi: *shakes her head and answers for Mokuba* None...

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Mokuba: *face pales* Oh no...Ryou, get Her out of here! *runs to Myou frantically*

Akumi: *looks confused* Huh, what?!

Ryou: come on...*leads Akumi out as Mokuba sets to work trying to keep Myou stable*

Akumi: Is she going to be okay?....

Ryou: I...I don't know.

Akumi: *touches Ryou on the shoulder*

Mokuba: SOMEBODY GET SETO IN HERE A.S.A.P.!

Akumi: *looks at Ryou for a second* 'I could of sworn I saw him flinch...' *runs off in the other direction to get Seto* SETO! SETO!

Seto: I'm coming! *runs into the room where Mokuba is*

Akumi: *follows him* What's wrong? What's going on!?

Ryou: *pulls her back*

Yugi: *dashes over* what's going on?

Akumi: *looks ready to kill someone* WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY SISTER?!?

Bakura: *growls* What the hell is wrong with you, vampire. Let go of her Ryou!

Akumi: Nobody's telling me what's wrong! Is she okay? What's happening..?

Bakura: *peeks in the door* Looks like she's dying that's what. Damnit Ryou, I said let the friggin vamp go!

Ryou: *lets her go, hiding how scared he is*:

Akumi: *looks panicked* WHAT?! *pushes Bakura out of the way and runs into the room*

Akumi: MYOU!

Mokuba: No! I said keep her out! Seto! Third vial from the top on the left hand side! Give it! Hurry!

Seto: *gives it to him*

Myou: *Is convulsing badly*

Mokuba: Hold her still! *Injects Myou with the stuff, and she calms*

Akumi: Myou...Myou....what's wrong?! I thought she'd be okay...

Mokuba: *sighs* Damn...third time today. Seto...this doesn't look good.

Akumi: What's wrong with her?

Mokuba: It's like I said, she isn't reacting well to the medicine. If this keeps up...

Akumi: *eyes widen* No...no...no! I can't let her die! I have to help her! But...how?

Seto: We're doing all we can, I'm sorry.

Akumi: *walks over to Myou and squeezes her hand* Myou, you can't die on me! You'll get through this! I can't live without you..come on Myou...please....be okay...

Myou: *groans, making Mokuba jump*

Akumi: MYOU!

Myou: *blinks* Where am I? *looks at Akumi* Who are you?

Akumi: Myou?....

Akumi: You don't remember me?

Mokuba: Seto, she's awake! This...this is incredible!

Myou: Should I? Why am I tied down?

Akumi: *looks taken back and slightly hurt*

Akumi: *unties her* Myou...I'm glad your okay..

Mokuba: I forgot, amnesia is an after effect of the potion. I'm not sure how long it will last.

Myou: I'm hungry...

Akumi: I don't know...if she doesn't remember, she might not drink the blood...

Myou: *smiles slightly, but no fangs are visible* Does anybody have anything to eat?

Akumi: *looks so extremely confused* Myou?...

Mokuba: Holy Re, Seto, c'mere!

Akumi: What'd you do to her? What in the hell?! *looks REALLY confused*

Seto: It looks like the potion reversed her condition, odd, it's never done that before.

Akumi: So, she's not a vampire any more?

Mokuba: That's right. The rest of her life will be spent as a normal human, and she has no memory of her past. When the time comes, she will die.

Akum:...Then..I better not be a part of her life... She'll...want to be normal...and I'm just a monster....I'd ruin her life... *slowly turns around, and then runs out of the room*

Seto: WAIT! I CAN HELP!

Akumi: *can't hear him* 'I guess it's better this way...yes, she'll be normal...and I'll just leave her alone..she'll be happy. That's all I want.'

Myou: *eyes glaze over, fangs sprout, and suddenly she turns vampire again* AKUMI! *tries to run, but falls to her knees in exhaustion* Akumi...*passes out again, fading from vampire to regular human*

Akumi: *runs out of the building, and as far as she can until she trips* *starts crying*

Ryou: *runs after her, ignoring Bakura's shouting* Akumi, the other, Myou, she's, she keeps turning from vampire to human and back again! She called your name after you left! Come back!

Bakura: *catches up to Ryou*

Akumi: *wipes her eyes again* Wha-what?

Bakura: *grabs Ryou's wrist* come on, runt, back to the hideout with you.

Akumi: Stop Bakura, your hurting him!

Bakura: Shut up vampire! Nobody asked you! *pulls Ryou by the wrist, other hand grasping his hair*

Akumi: *gets up and tries to pry Bakura's hands from Ryou*

Bakura: *hisses at her, and runs back to the hideout, pulling Ryou behind him*

Akumi: *tries to follow, but gets lost again*

Yugi: BAKURA, RYOU, AKUMI!!!! *standing in the doorway*

Akumi: *looks around* Yugi?! Where are you?!!

Bakura: *runs in and throws Ryou on the floor, slamming the door shut behind him*

Akumi: *hears a door shut and begins walking in that direction*

Mokuba: Bakura I told you to bring her back! The other one needs her here!

Akumi: HHHHHEEEELLLLOOOO?! Lost Vampriss here! *sighs*

Seto: She's stabilizing Mokuba!

Yugi: TAkumi: NO!

Megami no Kurai Akumi: Goddess of Dark Demons says:

Akumi: You hurt him, and I don't care if your his brother, he doesn't deserve that!HIS WAY AKUMI! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!

Akumi: Yeah, scream a little louder Yugi, I don't think Antartica can hear you.

Yugi: Hahaha!

Seto: *pokes head out* Alright, good news, she's stopped that freaking thing she was doing, but bad news, she's still a vampire. On a happier note, she's awake, on a bad note, she'll die if she doesn't get blood A.S.A.P!

Akumi: *mutters* Do we have any?!

Yugi: I got it. *brings bags to Seto*

Bakura: *mutters* damn vamp. *grabs Ryou's wrist and pulls him away again*

Akumi: Stop it Bakura!

Bakura: Shove off

Akumi: I will if you'll stop hurting Ryou!

Bakura: I'll do whatever the hell I want to!

Maric: Bakura, he's crying, let him go!

Akumi: *manages to pry Bakura from Ryou and stands infront of him protectively* Why are you always hurting him?!

Ryou: *holds his sore wrist*

Bakura: I don't have to talk to you, now GET AWAY FROM MY BROTHER!

Akumi: NO! You hurt him, and I don't care if your his brother, he doesn't deserve that!

Bakura: I do what I have to keep him away from YOUR kind!

Akumi: No, you don't. I've see you, you beat him for no reason.

Bakura: I make my point, I don't beat him so mind your own damn business! *stomps away angrily*

Akumi: *whispers* Really, now? I know you do... Is Myou okay?

Mokuba: *opens mouth to speak, but at that moment a pale, red, and blond blur with pale pink eyes shoots out the door and all but jumps on Akumi*

Akumi: AAAAAHHHHHYYYAAAA! MYOU!

Myou: KUMI!!!!!! KUMI KUMI KUMI KUMI KUMI KUMI!!!!!!!!!!

Akumi: MYOU! *hugs to death*

Myou: can't....breathe....

Akumi: *lets go* I'm so glad your okay!

Myou: ME TO!

Akumi: DON'T EVER SCARE ME THAT MUCH AGAIN!

Akumi: *hugs again*

Myou: I didn't do it on purpose!...Who are these guys? And where are we anyway?

Akumi: These...are slayers. You almost died, and I got desperate, so I asked them for help.

Myou: S..slayers? *gulps, remembering the encounter that almost killed her*

Akumi: It's okay sis, the only person here who'd be likely to kill either of us is Bakura.

Myou: *glances at Ryou and shrieks, ducking behind Akumi*

Akumi: Myou, this is Ryou, no need to be afraid of him...*looks at her curiously*

Myou: HE did it!...He's the one that almost killed me!

Akumi: Myou? Ryou wouldn't hurt anyone...Unless...*hisses* BAKURA! *stalks off, her vampire instint mixing in with her protectiveness for her sister, and all logic and actual sense going out of the window* BAKURA! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!

Ryou: NO! Stop! Please, don't hurt my brother! He's all I have!

Akumi: Ryou, he almost killed all I have left!

Yami: But that is what he does, he's a slayer, Akumi. He was doing his job.

Akumi: I don't care! My sister doesn't hurt people, and neither do I! HE ALMOST KILLED HER DAMNIT!

Ryou: Please, don't hurt him! Then you'll be taking all I have and....and they'll...they'll have to kill you, and your sister.

Akumi: *stops when he says they'll kill Myou* I don't care if I die, but NO ONE hurts Myou without going through me first!

Yami: He won't touch her again. She's here, under our protection. I've already warned everyone not to harm either of you...as long as you don't harm us.

Akumi: The only person I have even a little will to kill is Bakura. Not because of the general fact that he's wanted to kill us the whole time, but because he hurt Myou.

Ryou: *Falls on his knees, grasping the hem of her shirt* Please...please don't hurt him...I'm begging you...

Akumi: I won't, but only for you, now get up...*reaches down and helps him up*

Ryou: Thank you.

Myou: Akumi...mind introducing me?

Akumi: Myou, Ryou. Ryou, Myou.
