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

Shay awoke at midnight. A dull ache in her upper jaw…her blood teeth. She knew what this meant…

She needed blood…

She needed it tonight…

She sat up in her bed and looked at the one next to her. It was empty. Ryou's probably at Yugi's. She thought, and shrugged it off. He really didn't matter right mow, though. All that mattered was one question:

How was she going to get it tonight?

Shay got out of bed and went to her drawer. She pulled out a black tube top and a pair of skin tight leather hip-huggers. She smirked, snapped her fingers, and in a puff of red smoke was wearing the outfit. She walked over to her mirror to check her face. It was pale, her eyes were dark, not there usual bright, happy greenish blue. Her lips had a blue tint, and her hair unnaturally strait. Shay smirked at her image, grabbed her cloak and headed out.

As she was walking down the stairs on her way out, she noticed a black handle on a small table. Bakura's switch blade. She was meaning to go buy- or steal- her own, but had never gotten around to it. So as she walked by, she grabbed the handle, put it in her pants and walked out the door.

It was now March and was getting warmer outside. She inhaled deeply, then exhaled the fresh air. Suddenly, she felt a presence.

Shay spun around to see none other than Raziel leaning against the side of the house. She smirked, "Fancy meeting you out here, Raziel."

Raz looked at her with his blank, emotionless face. "Fancy meeting you out here, come on." He pushed away from the wall and started to walk towards her, "We've both came out at night for how long now? Almost a month?"

Shay put a hand on her hip, "So?" Raz's eyes moved down to her hip. "Whats that you got?" he asked, pointing to her hip.

Shay blocked his view with the hem of her cloak, "What does it matter?" she said. Raz sighed, "I just wanted to know." he said.

"Well, don't ask to many questions," Shay spat, "it could get you killed."

Raz sighed, "Whatever. Anyway, what are we going to dotonight?"

Shay looked at him and smirked, "I have a little fun planned." She said, then started off down the street. Raz followed her, jogging to catch up, "Oh really?" he said after catching up with her, "and what would that be?"

"Something for me to know," she looked at him, "and you to find out." Shay smiled sweetly-mockingly-then turned her head back to looking down the street. Raz stayed silent, however. And he just knew that something wasn't right with his friend. I was right, he thought, I HAVE changed everything… he sighed, and followed Shay.

~-~-~-~-~-~

Shay lead Raz to a part of the town he was not familiar with. The buildings were dark and dull, and the streets littered with trash and prostitutes dressed in fishnet tights, latex and heavy make-up.

"Shay?" Raz whispered to his friend, "Why did you bring me here?"

"So you can get into a fight, and I can get something…" A sudden spark of energy lit up in Shay's dark eyes. Raz noticed this, but said nothing. If she tries to kill somebody again, I'm gonna have to stop her. Raz thought. Suddenly, Shay turned down a dark alley. Raz followed, not only to make sure his friend didn't get hurt…but one of the prostitutes over there started to look at him funny…and it creeped him out.

The alley was riddled with graffiti and trash cans. The only light was a single naked light bulb over a heavy steel door, which shay walked over to and pounded on three times.

"Shay, what are you doing?" Raz asked for the second time. Shay rolled her eyes, "I told you, Raziel. Are demons slow, or its it just you?"

Raz glared at her, "What the hell's that supposed to mean?" he spat. Shay sighed, "Never mind. Just forget it. I don't want you hurting yourself thinking about it." Raz said nothing as the door swung open. A strong, tan face and muscular body appeared in the door way. Load music and flashing lights could be heard and seen from behind him. "Who the hell are you?" the body guard snarled.

Shay tilted her head and leaned against the edge of the door way, "Me and my friend here wanna have a little fun." Raz raised an eyebrow. The body guard folded his arms, "Oh is that so? Well….how do I know you two can handle yourselves in there?"

Shay was silent for a while, obviously thinking. Then, she pulled the switch blade out from her pants and opened it. Raz stared at the blade, and the body guard did nothing. "Okay," he said after a long pause, "you can go in."

Shay smiled slyly, "Thanks…" she said, then slipped in. Raz sighed and followed her.

The music was load and vibrated the floor. The lights flashed blue, purple, white; in that same order for a while before dieing out and twisting around. Shay smiled at the scene. There were girls in cages dancing and teasing the boys and men on the dace floor, a bar, and a lot of dancing-if you could call making out that- going on.

"Shay," Raz shouted over the loud music of Papa Roach's Last Resort, "how did you find this place?"

"I have my ways." Shay shouted back. She started walking through the crowd, pulling Raz with her. Finally, she stopped at a corner and pulled Raz close to her. "Listen bud, are you gonna help me?" She said in a normal voice.

"Why? What do I need to do?" Raz asked. "Well…we need to get into a fight so I can get some blood." Shay said back.

Raz shook his head, "Shay…you can't kill to get blood."

"Well its not the innocent." Shay retorted. Raz sighed, "You can't kill." he said.

"And why not?"

"You'll get in trouble."

"Will not."

"Will to."

"Have I yet?"

"…No, but you will."

"How?"

"Remember last night? You killed that kid and didn't even do anything with the body!"

Shay was silent for a while now. "Shay, you're going to get caught." Raz said. Shay was silent for a while longer before saying, "…Vampire's can't get caught."

Raz sighed, "Shay, you're not superhuman."

"Raz, you forgot, I'm not human." Shay said, "I'm a vampire." She put a finger under his chin to make him look up at her. When he was finally looking into her eyes, she kissed him fully on the lips.

After a while Shay broke the kiss, "I'm gonna go get into a fight now." she said, then walked off.

Raz blinked, "……………damn it." He sighed, and got up to try and stop Shay.

Shay walked over to the bar and 'accidentally' bumped into a man sitting there. "Opps!" She said in a fake, preppy voice, "Oh, I am so sorry!"

The man turned around. He had black hair pulled back and was wearing nothing but black. His trench coat reached his ankles and he wore boots. His eyes were dark- almost black- as he stared down at Shay. Shay froze.

Suddenly, the man's eyes softened, "Its all right," he said with a slight accent that -Shay thought- sounded French. "There was no harm done."

"Oh…uh…" Damn. He's not mad/ Shay thought angrily. "um...thanks." she said finally. The man-which Shay looked closer and found out that he was a boy around Raz's age- smiled, "No problem." He said, "My name's Charles." (All: SHAY!! Me: ^_^;;)

"Oh…uh, I'm Shay." Charles smiled again, "Well, Im very pleased to meet you, Shay…" he took her hand gentely and kissed it, looking up at her with his dark eyes, "…very pleased…"

Shay felt herself blush. Charles smiled, Hmm…I can sense something familiar about this girl…a strange power around her…and following her. Charles looked up to see a boy with brown hair and brown eyes walking towards them. Shay spun around, "Oh, hello Raziel."

"Hey," he said. Charles looked at Shay, "Is this a…friend of yours?"

"Huh?" Shay looked at Charles, "Oh yeah, this is my buddy Raziel. Raziel, meet Charles."

Charles looked at Raz and smiled, "Hello, Raziel." Raz was silent for a minute, "…Hi." he said finally.

Both boys started looking at each other, as if trying to read each others minds. Suddenly, the song died down, and the beat to Linkin Park's Crawling started up. Shay smirked, she had always loved this song. It was one of Ryou's favorites, too.

Ryou. Shay suddenly realized something; even if Ryou wasn't home tonight, he would be home early in the morning. Shay looked at Raz, "Raziel…"

"Shay, lets get out of here." Raz said suddenly. Shay looked confused, "But-…"

"I said now, Shay." He looked at her, "Lets go."

Shay glared at him, "Fine." She said, then turned to Charles, "Good Bye, Charles." She said.

"Fare well." he said, "We shall meet again, madame."

Shay smiled slightly, then was dragged off by Raz. Raz never let go f the young girls hand. Finally, when they were out of the alley, he let her go.

"What was that all about?" Shay said when they were out.

"Your safety." Raz said shortly.

"Psh, I can take care of my self."

Raz sighed. They walked down the street in silence.

When they finally were back in there neighborhood, Raz spoke, "Shay…before we go home, can we talk?" Shay shrugged, "I don't see why not." She said. Raz nodded, and they bth turned into an alley. Amazingly, it was the same alley they first met in. (AN: Think back to the beginning of the story, lol)

Raz leaned against the wall and Shay sat on a trash can, "Well…what do you want to talk about?" she asked.

Raz was silent for a while, "…Shay, I…do you remember earlier when we…" he trailed off. Shay nodded, "Yeah, go on."

"Well…I'm sorry I did that." He paused, "But…what I said…I meant it." He looked up at Shay. Shay blushed and looked down. Raz sighed, "And I know that your with Ryou, and this is really awkward for you, but-"

"Raz." Shay cut him off. "Shay, please, let me finish, but-"

"I love you too."

Raz stopped, "…………What?"

Shay looked up, her eyes glossy as if she were about to cry, "I love you too, Raziel."
