Raz was speechless for a moment. "…What?" he asked finally.
"I said I love you." Shay repeated, tears falling from her eyes. "Then…why are you crying?" Raz said as he walked over to her. Shay shook her head, "I…I love you…but, I love Ryou too…"
"Shay, being in love and loving someone are two different things." He leaned against the wall next to her. Shay sighed, "I know." She said, "I'm in love with you…But Im in love with Ryou…and…God, I am just so confused!" Shay hit the trashcan with her hand. The lid started to wobble, then fell into the trash can, Shay going with it.
Raz looked at her and laughed. "Grr…" She growled, "Its not funny."
"Oh, but it is." The teenage demon pushed himself away from the wall. Shay growled again and climbed out of the can. She sighed, and started walking out of the alley. Raz laughed a final time and followed her.
For the most of the way home the two were silent. Shay sighed. Raz looked at her, "Whats wrong?" he asked. Shay shook her head, "Nothing…I'm just confused." Raz sighed.
When they got to the front door to the house, Shay grabbed Raz's arm. "Raziel…Wait a sec…" Raz turned around to look at Shay. He was startled. Her eyes had…changed. Earlier that day they were a bright, cheerful blue green. Just a while ago, they were dark and mysterious. And now…they weren't as dark as before, but not as they usually were. They were…pleading. Pleading? Now come on, they weren't pleading.
But, oh how they were. Her eyes had a sad, worried look in them. They were dark, but with a spark of anguish somewhere deep within them. "Raz…" she said in a soft voice.
Help me.
Raz shook his head and blinked his eyes. T-That voice? It sounded like…Shay? But…it was…a tortured, sad voice of an…it sounded childish! …But, then again… Raz looked at the girl in front of him. She was clinging to his coat and looking up at him with her torturing eyes. …Shay IS somewhat of a child…No, she's just childish at times.
Suddenly, images started flashing in Raz mind, moving all at once. Evil, dark, horrible memories. Elle crying with fresh wounds on her back. His mother's dead face. Gabriel's cruel eyes and wicked smile. Then sounds. A women screaming, a mans evil laughter, crying. And two voices….
Please, help me…
*Evil laughter* (Me: Hey, I had no ideas ^^'' All: …)
"Argh!!" Raz grabbed at his head. The voices were too much for him. He started to glow with the red aura again. "No…No!" He said, still clutching his head.
Shay looked at Raz, who was going berserk. She was silent for a while…then put a hand to her forehead.
Raz knelt down on the ground, breathing heavily. All of the sudden, new images flashed through his mind. Him and Shay talking on the first night they had meet. His mothers sweet face smiling at him. Elle playing in there mothers flower bed. His father training with his sword in in a field while Elle and him sat and watched. He calmed down, then…another voice came into his head…
Please, calm down…
Raz looked up at Shay, who had her eyes closed and her hand to her forehead. "Wha…What are you doing?" he panted. Shay opened her eyes…her bright, cheerful blue green eyes that had a spark of sadness in them, "I was calming you down…" she said in a quiet voice. Raz stood up, still breathing heavily, "You didn't….you didn't have to do that…" he said.
Shay shook her head, "Oh, but I did…" she walked over to him, "you don't understand, Raz…"
Raz gave her a puzzled look, "Understand what?" he asked. "Understand-…" Shay stopped her sentence and doubled over in pain, pulling her hands over her stomach and closing her eyes.
"Shay!!" Raz caught Shay as she fell to the ground. "Shay, whats wrong?" he said hurriedly. Shay didn't answer. Raz began to get worried, "Shay! Answer me!!"
Shay lifted her head up and looked into Raz's eyes, "I-I'm fine…" she said shakily. Raz gave her a serious, concerned look, "Are you sure?" he asked. Shay nodded, "Yes….I-I'm sure…" she got up with some help from Raz, and they both walked inside.
Raz started for his room while Shay headed for the stairs. He looked over his shoulder, "Are you sure you're going to be all right?" he said. Shay turned around and nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine."
"Okay, well…" Raz walked over to her and kissed her softly on the cheek, "Good night." he said, then went into the spare bed room.
Shay blinked then, wiped away a tear that had fallen from her eye. She knew that she couldn't have both Ryou and Raziel, she loved them both and didn't want to hurt anyone. She sighed, and walked up to her room.
When she arrived she closed the door and took off her cloak, putting it on a chair.
"Hey Shay…"
Shay spun around, heart pounding, at the sound of the soft voice. Ryou was sitting on his bed in his pajamas. Shay gave him a small smile, "Hello Ryou…"
Ryou got up, walked over and gave his 'girlfriend' a hug. He kissed her neck, "I'm sorry…" he whispered in her ear.
"Sorry?" Shay said puzzled, "Sorry for what?"
Ryou pulled away and looked her in the eyes, "I haven't got to see you much lately." He brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes and smiled. Shay hugged him, "No…" she said, "I'm sorry…"
A tear rolled silently down her cheek…
"For what?" Ryou asked.
"Oh for so many things…" Shay pulled away from him and looked him in the eyes. "Shay…Its all right…you shouldn't be." Shay shook her head, "But I am-"
Ryou shushed her and put a finger on her lips, "Its all right Shay…" then he leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
Shay closed her eyes and kissed him back, feeling a little guilty that she had kissed Raziel. Ryou pulled away, "I'm sorry, you don't mind if I kiss you, do you?"
Shay shook her head, "Not at all," she said. Ryou smiled, "Okay…" then kissed her again, pulling her closer to him. Shay wrapped her arms around his neck. A memory of her and Raz kissing in the backyard by the tree and coy pond came into her head. Everything else fogged out. Ryou pulled away, "What's wrong?"
Shay snapped out of it and looked at him, "Oh, nothing." She smiled, "I guess I'm just a little tired, that's all." Ryou nodded, "All right, then I guess I'll let you get some sleep." The girl smiled and walked to her bed, "I'm sorry, and thanks."
Ryou gave her a soft smile, "No problem." He said, then laid down in his bed. Shay laid down in her own, and waited till she was sure Ryou was asleep, then she sighed and closed her eyes to fall asleep herself.
~*~*~Out Side~*~*~
A dark cloaked figure was hanging out in the cherry tree outside of the young girls window. (Raz: *anime fall* Me: CHERRY TREE!!! ^O^ Raz: Your obsessed Shay -__-'' Me: I know ^-^) As it saw the two teens fall asleep, and then silently climbed threw the window.
Almost at once the young girl started sweating and moving in her sleep. She tossed and turned as the figure moved closer. He pulled back a black hood to reveal near black eyes and black hair pulled back into a ponytail. Everything about him was black with the exception of his pale, creamy flesh. He smirked, and walked closer to the girl.
The young teen fidgeted more as he walked closer, sweating. The dark figure smirk, and puts one of his hands out as he moved closer, extending it as if to grab the girl…
---------------------------
Raziel sat up bolt right. He could sense something, and it wasn't good. (AN: Me: Demon…senses…tingling!! Lol, just kidding demon boy. Raz: …)
The demon got up and pulled on his clothes. (AN: All girls: *starry eyes/drooling* Raz: …why me? -_- Ashton: *snicker*) He took a glance at his sister who was actually sleeping peacefully tonight. For the last couple of nights, she had been having nightmares and not sleeping well. He sighed and walked out of the room.
Raz walked to the edge of the stairs and closed his eyes. Something's happening upstairs. He thought. (AN: NOT THAT WAY!!!! Raz: …-_-) He opened his eyes, and slowly crept up the stairs. (AN: don't you hate it when they do that in horror movies? -_-" lol)
As he reached the top, he could hear something. What the demon heard was the sound of blood rushing through the veins of a young being. The sound was moving very fast, like the being had just finished running a marathon. He opened his dark eyes, and kept walking to where the sound came from…
Shay and Ryou's room.
Raziel stopped, not knowing if he would interrupt anything or not. (AN: ^^;; Raz: …God Shay -__-;; Me: ^^;) But when he closed his eyes again, he could sense that Ryou was asleep, and there were three bodies in the room…
Now he was REALLY wondering what was going on in that room. (AN: Raz: Shay…your odd -_- Me: I know ^-^ Raz: …-_-')
Slowly, the demon reached for the knob. He looked at the brass handle, and realized that it had a black aura around it. "What the hell is up in this house…" he turned the knob, and slowly peered inside the door…
Raz's eyes went wide at the site before him. "Shay!!" What he saw was a black hooded figure leaning over his newest friend. The young girl was shaking and trembling as if she was having a siezure. Raz looked over at Ryou, and the boy was limp and pale with two small hole in his jugular vein. The demon became burning with anger. He looked up at the cloaked figure, "YOU!" he yelled, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?"
The figure slowly straitened up from where he was standing, then looked over at the demon and smirked. "What am I doing?" he said, "I am meerly trying to keep our kind alive."
Raziel growled, "That's not what I mean, what are you doing to Shay?"
The vampire gave Raziel a slyish smile, "Your young friend is the last female of our race. Therefore, I, being the strongest male vampire in Domino City, had to come and take her."
"That's sick." The Prince of Hell said coldly. "That's really sick. Why Don't you just go make vampires by biting them, like you did Ryou?" The vampire shook his head. "Its not that easy," he looked at Raz again, "if a vampire is simply bitten, then yes, he or she will become a vampire, but, a young child from a mother and father whom both have vampire blood will be much stronger." He smirked, "Just the same with demons."
Raz stayed silent. "…You're the vampire who bit Shay, aren't you?"
The vampires lips twisted into a cruel smile. "My, my, you're smarter then I gave you credit for, demon."
Then it hit Raziel. He knew this guy! Same pale skin, dark hair, cold eyes…
It was Charles.
"So, you're the twisted being who bit her…" he narrowed his eyes, "I'll make sure you burn in Hell for touching her."
"That's a shame vampires don't die, isn't it, demon?" Charles said bluntly. Raz smirked, "I guess we'll have to check if that theory is true…"
Suddenly, the demon pulled out a huge sword. (AN: Think the Sparda sword in Devil May Cry ^_^ Raz: You mean Alstor. Me: ….yeah ^^;; Raz: -_-) The vampire smirked and withdrew a cane. Inside was a long, thin sword with a double edge. (AN: THOSE SWORDS ARE SOOOO COOL! ^___^ Ashton: *whacks Shay* no more candy for you -_-'' Me: Candy!!!! ;_; ) Raz raised an eyebrow, "You're going to fight with that little thing?" Charles sneered and the sword began to glow with a black aura. "O…kay…" Raz said, then thrust the sword to the vampire. Charles blocked it with his sword and threw it off course.
"Grr…" Raz kicked the vampire right in the gut. Charles staggered and almost fell out the window. Raz kicked him again, spun around, and kicked Charles square in in the chest and knocked him out the window.
"Whoa, AH!" Was the last thing that Raz heard before the vampire finally fell. There was a moment of silence. Raz sighed, and turned his back to the window and walked to the side of Shay's bed.
The young girl had stopped moving. She was all pale, but as he looked closer, Raziel noticed that the marks on her neck- the scars that proved she was of the vampire race, were red. Raz gritted his teeth in anger. That bastard was sucking on her neck!! He heard a sadistic laugh and spun around.
Charles was standing by the window! But how?! Raz had knocked him down, hadn't he? As if reading the demons mind, Charles smirked and said this: "I could have jumped over this roof if I wanted too."
Raz bolted for him, going at inhuman speed. Charles extended a hand and Raz stopped and started sinking to his knees. "Nice try, demon." Charles said, "but you shouldn't mess with the dark forces."
"Dark forces my ass," Raz said, "I'm the Prince of Hell, you don't know what dark forces are. If those two weren't in the room, I'd show you dark forces!" Charles smirked, "Too bad there here then, eh?" Raz growled, "Shut up." He said. Suddenly the boys heard a sound.
Charles looked over at the girl on the bed. She was tossing and turning in her sleep and mumbling. "No…careful…stop…Raz…no…LOOK OUT!! AHHH!!!"
Raz turned his head around, "Shay!!" He looked at Charles, "STOP IT! LET ME GO! LEAVE HER ALONE!" Charles smirked, then put his hand down, letting the demon free. Raz fell to his hands and knees but was up within 2 seconds and next to his friend. "No!! Stop it! don't hurt him! Its me you want, NO!!!" Raz took Shay's arm, "Shay! Wake up! Calm down!"
The girl kept on screaming. She's acting like Elle. He thought. "Shay, stop! Wake up!!"
Finally Shay's eyes snapped open. They were wide and frightened. She looked around for a moment and finally looked at Raziel. "Raz!!" She flung her arms around his neck, "Your all right!!"
Raz hugged her back, "Yeah, I'm fine." then he asked, "What were you dreaming about?"
Shay sniffed, "I…I was in a castle, and it was dark everywhere. I-I was chained to a wall, just hanging there…and then you….you ran in with a sword, and this man, he was dressed in all black, he floated down from the ceiling. You fought him, and he was winning. I yelled and screamed for you to be careful, and you'd always yell 'I'm fine, don't worry'. Then…" she sniffed, "the man fought you till you were by the window. The outside was dark and discolored, and the window flung open. He tried to stab you, and you slipped…and…." she could talk no more, she was crying to badly.
"Its okay, Shay, I'm here…Don't worry…"
As soon as he said don't worry the girl started to cry harder. "Shh…Its all right, don't cry…" he continued to sooth and comfort her till she fell asleep on his shoulder.
When she was finally asleep, Raz laid her down in her bed and pulled her comforter up over her shoulders. He looked at Ryou, then back at Shay. His eyes began to glow a crimson red. That's it. Next time he saw that sick bastard, he was gonna die.
