--------~`*`~--------

Ryou looked confused, "Um…Hello Raz-" Ryou's eyes went wide as he saw Elle in Raz's arms. "Oh my God! W-What happened!?"

Raz shook his head, "I'll explain in a sec. Could we come in? Please?"

Ryou nodded, and opened the door wider, allowing Raz and Elle to come in. Raz looked at Ryou, "Thanks." Then walked in.

Ryou closed the door and called something in Japanese. Someone yelled something back down the stairs, and in a few moments, Shay came down the stairs wearing a black turtleneck and black pants. "Yeah Ry-OH MY GOD!" Shay went pale at the sight in front of her.

Raz looked at her, "Yeah, hi." Shay was speechless. "Wha…How…Elle…What the…" Shay looked at Raz, wanting an answer.

"I'll explain in a while, do you think I could put Elle somewhere? Like…a place where she could rest?" Shay nodded, "Y-Yeah…there's a spare bed in this room…" She looked at Ryou, and he nodded. "Follow me." He said, and led Raz to another room.

Ryou opened another door and let Raz in. "There's a bed." Raz nodded and walked over to a twin bed with white bedding and two pillows. He laid her down on the bed, and then turned around. "I'll be right out, all right?"

Ryou nodded, "Okay…I'll be right outside the door…" Ryou walked out of the room, and Raz walked over and shut the door. After he was positive that Ryou wasn't listening in (like he would) he sighed. "Ellenear, what the Hell happened?"

A crystal around Elle's neck glowed, and then a girl who looked almost identical to Elle appeared. "Whatta ya mean 'What happened'?"

Raz sighed and pointed at Elle. Ellenear turned around and looked at her aibou, "Oh…Ra…" She crouched down by Elle's bedside, "Did he…?"

"Yeah, he did." Raz leaned against the wall, "Again."

Ellenear stayed silent, and in a moment or two, a ring around Raz's finger glowed and a boy with black hair and green eyes (AN: I hope that's right…^^;) appeared next to Raz. "Hey Renee," He smirked.

Raz kept looking at the ground, "Shut up, Ashton. This isn't a good time."

"What do you mean…?" Ash turned around and saw Elle, "Oh…"

"Yeah," Raz spat, "'Oh'…that damn bastard had a whip this time." Ellenear sighed and kept watching over her aibou. "I knew that when she started panicking something was wrong…"

"Hey," Ash walked over to Ellenear, "don't eat your self up about it. It won't happen again, so don't worry."

Ellenear sighed, "Whatever." Raz looked at the ground, "…I'll be back. Were at one of my friends houses." Ellenear and Ash nodded, then Raz slipped out the door.

Raz closed the door behind him and sighed. Then, he heard a soft voice behind him…

"What happened?"

Raz spun around. Shay was standing there with a look on her face that was a mixture of fear, worry and concern. Raz tried to brush past her, "Nothing." but she stopped him again. "Please tell me…were friends now, right?"

He shrugged, "Yeah…for how long, one day?" Shay looked at Raz with worry filled eyes, "That don't matter. Please tell me, Raz."

Raz stayed silent. "…Why should I tell you? You'll tell Ryou and Ryou'll tell Yugi. Then he'll tell-"

Shay cut him off. "Raz, I promise that I wont tell Ryou." Raz sighed. "What if he over hears me?"

Shay blinked, "…Hold on." Shay walked away for a sec. Ryou was sitting down, but looked up when Shay walked over. "What happened?"

Shay shook her head, "I don't know yet Ry. Hey, and do you think you could go to the store and grab some stuff to clean El up?"

Ryou nodded, grabbed his jacket and headed for the door. "All right. I'll be right back." Shay nodded, then Ryou walked out the door. Shay walked back to Raz, who was leaning against the wall.

"Okay," She said, "I sent Ryou to the store. Will you tell me now?" Raz sighed, "Fine." He pushed himself away from the wall and walked to the front room, followed by Shay.

Raz and Shay both sat down on the couch. "All right, this is what happened."

Raz told Shay what he saw and what happened. Shay nodded during the whole story, gasping at a few parts. When he was finished, Raz looked at Shay. "…And that's what happened."

Shay just sat there staring at Raz. "Oh God…I-Im so sorry." Raz sighed, "Don't apologize, Shay." Shay nodded, "Okay…"

They sat in silence for a while. "…What did you mean by 'the demon army?'" Shay asked. Raz sighed, "I knew that you'd ask that."

"Well…what did you mean?" Shay repeated. Raz looked at her, "If I tell you…you can't tell anyone else. Not even Ryou. Got that?" Shay nodded. "Okay."

"All right. Well…you wanna know why I was out that one night, right?" Shay nodded, "The reason I was out is because…its because I'm a demon, Shay."

Shay raised an eyebrow, "A demon? How exactly did you become a demon, Raziel?"

Raz sighed (AN: Damn, he does that a lot, lol) "Because of my father."

"Who was…?" Shay looked at him, "Come on dude, spit it out."

Raz looked away, "My father's name was Dante." He looked at the ground, "He took down the devil…he was a demon."

Shay just sat there, "A…demon…that took down…the…devil?" Raz nodded. Shay blinked. "Wow…"

"Yeah…" Raz sighed. "He died a few years ago so I lived with my mom." Shay nodded, "Oh…" There was a moment of silence. "Um…since you told me about your parents…do you want me to tell you about my past?"

Raz shrugged, "If you want." Shay nodded, "I think you should know…" Raz sighed, but Shay ignored it, and began, "I lived with my parents in America till I was…" She paused, as if trying to think, "…I think 11. Probably 10, but anyway, that was about the time they died."

"How did they die?" Raz asked. Shay shrugged, "I dunno. They went some where and…died." She looked at the ground, "The police said they died in a car crash, but I think it was murder…"

"And what gives you that idea?" Raz asked. Shay shrugged, and he sighed. "Anyway, continue."

Shay nodded and went on with her story, "So…I moved to England and lived with Ryou and his dad, who was a good friend with my parents." Raz nodded. "But, one day, Ryou…changed…and…I…I had to…I ran away."

Raz raised an eyebrow, "What happened?" Shay shook her head; "I-I can't talk about it right now. But later I learned that it wasn't Ryou, but someone else." Raz nodded, "Okay…that doesn't explain why you were out though."

Shay nodded, "I know…well, the reason I was out that night is…maybe I should just show you, you wouldn't believe me if I told you." Raz shook his head, "No, I'd believe you. Why wouldn't I?"

"No, you wouldn't. It's a bit far fetched, believe me…even I don't believe it sometimes." Raz sighed, "Okay, fine. Show me."

Shay nodded and started taking off her shirt. "Whoa whoa whoa!" Raz stopped her, "What are you doing!?"

"Relax," Shay said, "I have a tank top on under it." Raz sighed, "Fine." He allowed Shay to take her shirt off.

After Shay had her shirt off, she was sitting there in a black tank top. "See, check this out." She tilted her head back and pointed to two scars on her neck, close to her collarbone.

Raz blinked, "…What are those?" Shay beckoned him over, "Come take a look." Raz shrugged and scooted closer to Shay. "Um…you don't mind if I…?" Raz held his hands up. Shay looked at him. "Oh no, go ahead."

Raz nodded and put one hand on her shoulder and the other one on the other side of her neck. Shay bit her lip, but tried not to let Raz see. Raz was examining the two scratches on her neck. "They look like holes…but there are scratches around them…" Raz looked at Shay, who had her head tilted back, her eyes closed and was holding back her hair.

"Yeah, I know." Shay said. "I was confused at first, too." Raz looked Shay up and down, and then back at her neck, "Well, what are they?" he asked.

"Bite marks." She said. Raz raised an eyebrow, "Bite marks?" He repeated.

"Yeah," Shay let her hair go and looked at Raz, "bite marks. Can you guess what I am?"

Raz sighed, "I asked you, Shay. I'm not big on guessing games." Shay smirked, "You want me to tell you then?"

Raz nodded. "Okay…" Shay smiled slyly, "I'm a vampire."

Raz looked at her, "…You're kidding." Shay shook her head, "Nope." Raz just sat there. "…A…vampire?" Shay nodded again, "…How the Hell did you become a vampire? " he asked.

"Um…" Shay bit her lip, the visions flying through her head again…

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

A young 16 year old girl was pushed against the wall, pleading for her life, "Please," She begged, "P-Please, don't kill me!!"

The figure before her laughed cruelly. "Kill you? My dear, I'm not going to KILL you…"

"B-But…" The girl stuttered. "T-The dagger…you have a dagger…"

"So?" The figure spat, "I'm not going to kill you…Sai would kill me. I knew her back in Egypt, and you know that."

"S-Sorry…"

"You should be." The cloaked figure snarled. "Now, come here."

"N-No, please!!" The girl pleaded, but the figure grabbed her arm. She screamed, and the figure let out a course of insane laughter. The figure pulled the girl close to him and grabbed her waist. "N-No, please!! Let me go!!" She begged. In response the figure tore her shirt and lowered his head to her neck.

The girl whimpered in pain and a pair of razor sharp teeth cut into her flesh. She felt the figure begin to suck, and felt her own blood oozing through the wound. After a while, the figure dropped the girl and turned to walk off.

Before he left, the figure looked over his shoulder and said; "Don't worry, Shay. If you don't die, you'll just be undead…"

Shay lifted her head weakly and looked at the figure, "W-why?" but the figure just left her there. He left her there to die…

--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--

Shay just sat there for a while. "I-I don't know. I just woke up and they were there." She looked at Raz.

"Uh…huh. Okaaay…that's…scary." Shay nodded in agreement, "Yeah." They were both quiet for a while.

Raz stole a glance at the girl next to him. Damn, he thought, She's…kinda cute… Raz shook his head. No, she has a boyfriend, don't even think about it Raziel.

Shay sighed, and Raz looked over at her, "Whats wrong?" He asked. "Hm?" Shay looked at him, "Nothing…" She looked at the ground again. "I'm fine…"

The truth was, she was thinking about all of the problems she's had in her life. At one in particular she winced. Raz saw this, and asked, "Okay, I know something's wrong, what is it?"

Shay looked at Raz, "N-Nothing."

Raz sighed, "Shay, you're stuttering. Just tell me."

Shay looked at the ground and was silent. Raz sighed, "God damn it…" he mumbled, then grabbed Shay's shoulders, "Shay, look at me."

Although his tone wasn't threatening, Shay immediately turned to look at him, "Y-Yes?"

Her voice is weak… He thought. "…Shay," Raz said in a quiet voice, "Listen, there is nothing you can say that would surprise me. Just tell me whats wrong."

Shay's voice trembled, "I-I can't. I-I'm sorry." Raz sighed, "Whatever." He let her go and turned around, facing forward again.

They were quiet for a long time. Shay looked at Raz, "Hey…dude?"

"Hn, what?" Raz kept looking at the ground.

Shay bit her lip, "Um…never mind, its nothing." Raz sighed. Shay mumbled, "Sorry…" She said in a weak voice.

"Shay," Raz said, "I swear to God, if you apologize one more time, I'll…"

Shay hit the ground, "I-I'm sorry!! P-Please, don't…"

Raz looked at Shay with a surprised look on his face, "…Shay…?" Shay stayed on the ground, but answered in a small, trembling voice, "Y-Y-Yes?"

Raz just kept on staring down at her, "…Why are you on the ground?" Shay looked up with fright-filled eyes. God… Raz thought, I know that look… An image of Elle flashed threw Raz's head, and suddenly, his face went cold. Shay whimpered and ducked lower, but kept her head up.

Raz wasn't to pleased with this, Damn it…She's been abused. Raz frowned. And it looks like she was hurt bad too… He sighed, "Shay…"

Shay flinched, "Y-Yes…" Raz shook his head, "Get up."

Shay stood up strait in front of Raz, biting her lip. Her eyes were glossy, like new tears coming. Raz looked up at her, "Shay…are you all right?" Shay stayed silent. Forgive me…but this is the only way I can get her to talk…

Raz stood up, and, being taller than Shay by an inch or so, looked down at her with cold, harsh eyes. A spasm of fear spread through Shay, and she started to tremble. I guess it was worse then I thought… Raz thought. Shay was doing her best to stand up strait, but was slowly sinking to her knees. Raz looked down at her, "Shay." He said in a voice that was almost as cold as his eye's, "Tell me; what happened?"

Shay looked at the ground, "I-I-I c-can't…" She said in a trembling voice, "H-He'll k-kill me…"

Ah…so it's a man. I guess it can't be her father…she all ready said her parent's are dead. But…they could have abused her when she was alive… Raz continued to try and piece the puzzle together. "Who, Shay?" He asked, "Who would kill you?"

Shay shook her head. Man…I wonder how long this has been going on… Raz was silent for a few seconds, thinking. Well…I guess if I don't mean it…I could… "Shay…if you don't tell me…I'll…" Damn, I don't WANT to say this!! He screamed at himself inside of his mind, "…I'll smack you, Shay."

Shay stayed silent. Raz pretended to act angry, "What, you don't believe me!?" He half shouted. Shay winced, "N-No….Its just…"

"Shut up." He snarled. Mentally he kicked himself. DAMN! She was talking and I told her to SHUT UP! __ Damn it.

[Um…Raziel? Are you okay?]

At the sound of his yami's voice, Raz closed his eyes, {…Why?}

[Because I can hear you, stupid.]

{Shut up, Ash.}

[Raz, just tell me…]

{*sigh* fine. *explains every thing and asks Ash for help*}

[Hmm…Just do what your doing.]

{Which is…}

[Just keep pretending to threaten her. Your doing okay, I guess…]

{……}

[Hey, its help.]

{…Yeah. I guess your right. All right, what ever.}

[Yeah, ^^;;]

{*sigh*}

Shay lifted her head up a little, "Um…R-Raz…??" Raz opened his eyes and looked at Shay. "What?" He snapped.

Shay winced, "I-I was j-just seeing if y-you were o-okay…"

"Don't stutter!" Raz snapped. Shay winced and put her arm up as if to shield a blow. Raz shook her head, I would've never thought it was that bad…wincing and taking cover just when someone snaps… "…it's a bad habit." He added. There, that makes me sound less mean…

"I-I-I'm s-sorry." Raz glared at her, "You should be…"

Shay's eye's widened and her mouth fell open. "I…R-…Raziel…you…" Shay went blank, and then another vision flashed through her mind.

Raz's face softened, "Shay…?" Shay began breathing heavy and started to tremble more, "N-No…" She said in a weak voice.

"Shay?" Raz bent down next to her, "Shay…are you all right…?"

"N-No!! P-P-Please, d-don't!!" Shay backed away from Raz. Raz looked at her strangely. "Shay…" He said, "Tell me what happened…please…?" Raz started towards her. Shay whimpered and covered her chest with her turtleneck. "P-Please…" She begged, "D-Don't touch me…" A tear rolled down her cheek as she curled up into a tighter ball.

Raz stared at her, "Shay…I'm not going to touch you." He put a hand on his chest, "I'm your friend…" He gave a small smile, but Shay buried her head into her sweater. "I-I know…"

Raz crawled over to her, "Shay…" He said in a soft voice, "You can tell me…will you, please?"

Shay lifted her tear-streaked face to look at Raz. A pang of sympathy shot through the boy next to her. Damn…I think so beautiful shouldn't look so sad…WHOA! Slow down, Raziel! You've just met a day or two ago, chill. (AN: Mwahahaha…^_^ lol)

Shay whimpered, "R-Raz…" Raz managed a small smile. Shay threw her arms around him and began to cry on his shoulder. Raz went stiff, well…I wasn't expecting THAT…

"I-I'm s-sorry!" Shay said while she sobbed, "I am…so…so sorry R-Raziel…"

Raz pulled Shay into a hug, "Don't apologize, Shay." He started to rock like he did when Elle cried in his arms, "If anyone should be apologizing, it's the people who hurt you…"

Shay sniffed, "T-Thanks…but, I-I really am sorry…" Raz sighed, "Its all right…" Finally, Shay pulled away. Her eyes were red from crying. "Y-You didn't have to let me c-cry on you like that…"

Raz looked at her, "Don't worry about it," He said, "it's all right…" Shay sniffed again and stood up. "O-Okay…" Raz stood up and looked at her, "But Shay…I would like to know what happened, why you were so…" He paused, trying to think of the right word to use.

"…weak?" Shay suggested. Raz shook his head, "No. You're not weak. You were…scared. I would like to know why you were acting so frightened." Shay looked at the ground. "…Maybe." She looked up, "I can't promise anything…but maybe."

Raz nodded, "All right. That's fine." Shay gave him a weak smile. Raz gave her a small smile, then turned away and sat down on the couch. Shay stood up and walked into the kitchen.

"Hey, um…Shay?" Raz called. Shay poked her head through the door, "Hm?"

"Uh…do you think me and Elle can stay here tonight?" Raz asked. Shay nodded, "Yeah. You could stay for the week if you want."

Raz shook his head, "I don't think that'll be necessary-"

"Raz." Shay cut him off, "Just…never mind." Raz sighed and Shay went back into the kitchen. Soon after that, Ryou came back. His cheeks were rosy and his nose was red. He looked over at Raz, "Hello. Um…is she…is Elle okay?"

Raz nodded, "Yeah, she's resting." Ryou nodded, "Where's Shay?" Raz pointed to the kitchen. Ryou thanked him and walked into the kitchen.

Shay was standing over the stove cooking noodles. (Me: I LOVE NOODLES!!! ^_^ Everyone Else: *Sweat drop* Me: ^-^) Ryou quietly dropped the stuff he bought on the table, walked up behind her and covered her eyes with his hands. Shay jumped, "Ah!" She put her hands on her hips, "Okay, who is it?"

Ryou smiled, and said in his darkest voice; "Guess who, beautiful…"

Shay went stiff. "B-Bakura…?" She said in a quiet, frightened voice. Ryou shook his head, "No, no, no, no…Shay," He uncovered her eyes, "Its me…"

Shay spun around, "Oh! Ryukies!!" She smiled and pulled Ryou into a hug. Ryou hugged her back, "I'm sorry, Shay. I didn't mean to frighten you…I just wanted to…"

Shay put her finger to Ryou's lips, "No Ryou, its all right." She gave him a quick kiss after pulling her finger away, then looked at him, "Don't worry, hensei." Ryou smiled, "All right." Shay giggled, then kissed Ryou again.

After standing there kissing each other for a while, Shay pulled away, "Opps! I forgot, I'm cooking Ry, sorry." Ryou smiled, "No problem." He kissed her on the cheek, then walked away. In a few minutes, Shay had finished cooking the noodles and they were all sitting around a table on the floor eating.

Raz sat there, staring at his bowl. Shay looked over at him, "Raziel, are you okay?"

Raz looked over when Shay called his name, "Hn? Oh, yeah…I'm fine." Shay blinked, "Okay…" Then they ate the rest of there meal in silence.

It was now about 9:00pm, Raz was in the spare room with Elle, Ryou was reading and Shay was typing to Faith on her computer. Suddenly, Ryou sighed. Shay typed something, then looked at Ryou, "Rykies…whats wrong?"

Ryou looked at Shay, "Nothing, I'm just…thinking." Shay nodded, "Oh…" Ryou yawned, "Well…It's getting late," He said, "I'm going to bed, okay?"

Shay nodded, "All right. I'll go to bed in a bit, I'm going to check up on Elle and see if Raz is okay." Ryou nodded, "Okay. Oyasumi Nasai."

Shay smiled, "Oyasumi Nasai, hensei." Ryou smiled, then walked up the stairs to his room. Shay typed some more to Faith, then closed her windows down. She shut her laptop down, got up and tip-toed to the door of the spare room.

She knocked softly, and, when no one answered, quietly opened the door. Shay peeked in, "Hello?" She called softly. She looked around, and saw Raz asleep next to Elle, sitting on the floor.

Shay smiled at the sight, Raz must really love his sister… She sighed, and snuck in. She walked over to Raz, and stood there, watching them for a while.

After about 5 minutes, Elle started to stir. Shay bit her lip and started to walk away. Elle's eyes fluttered open, and when she caught sight of Shay, she called; "Shay…?"

Shay turned around and looked at Elle. She managed a small smile, "Oh, Hi Elle. You okay?"

Elle nodded, "Yeah…I'm fine." Elle smiled, "Hey…wanna talk for a minute?" Shay shrugged, "Sure, okay." She walked over and sat down by the bed, careful not to wake up Raz.

Shay smiled, "I'm glad that you're feeling okay." Elle smiled, "Thanks." There was silence for a while. Shay looked over at Raz, who was asleep with his head resting on the bed by Elle.

"He really likes you."

Shay turned to look at Elle, who was smirking. "W-What?" Shay asked, "What do you mean, El?"

Elle smirked again, "My big brother really likes you." She repeated, "He was talking about you earlier."

Shay blushed. Elle gave out a small laugh, "Why are you blushing, Shay?"

Shay bit her lip, "N-No reason…" She mumbled and went even redder. Elle gave a sly smirk, "Oh really…Are you sure about that?"

Shay looked at Elle, "Elle…I'm with Ryou." Elle nodded, "Oh, I know. But…he still likes you." Shay looked at Raz, then back at Elle, "…Really?" she asked.

Elle nodded, and Shay looked at Raz again. "Wow…I would have never thought…Raz out of all people…"

"He's really nice," Elle said. "We haven't lived together much, recently, but I really love him…He's an excellent big brother." Shay nodded, "Yeah…He really loves you."

"I know." Elle smiled, "He really likes you, too." Shay went deep red. "…I wish I could help you there, but I'm dating Ryou." Elle sighed, "Okay…" she said. Shay stood up, "Well…I'd better go to bed, oyasumi- um…I mean…good night, Elle."

"Good night, Shay. Your being a great friend. To me and Raz." Shay smiled, "Thanks…" Then walked out the door.
