Ashton: Read and review

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Shay pulled back and wiped the blood running down her chin away with the back of her hand. "I guess he couldn't take it…" she said. The vampire sighed, "Well, I guess I'll just finish this off tonight…"

As she began to lower herself over the teens limp body again, Raziel's eyes snapped open. Shay jumped a bit, "Oh, hi Razie-"

"Don't 'Hi Raziel' me, Shay!!" He yelled, "Why the hell did you bite me!?"

Shay blinked, "You said do whatever I needed to do-"

"WELL YOU COULD HAVE WARNED ME!!!!"

Shay's eyes widened and she stepped back, "I…I'm sorry, Raz-Chan…"

Raziel stood up. Shay took another step back and fell over and in a chair, "Eep!"

Raz walked over and towered over the young girl. Shay gave him a nervous/sheepish smile and waved, "heh heh…"

Raz leaned over her. His narrowed eyes were cold and dark. Shay shrunk back. She could honestly say that she was afraid of him at that moment. The vampire turned her gaze to the floor.

Suddenly, Raz held her chin in his hand and forced him to look at her. He could smell her fear. Was that good or bad? She was his friend, he didn't want to frighten his friend. But, then again, she did bite him…

She had no way of knowing, leave her alone, one voice said in his head.

Kill her, hurt her, harm her…She bit you! She hurt you! A different voice said.

~*~*~*~Raz POV

Wtf? What were those voices in my head?

Let her go… One said,

Kill her, hurt her… The other said.

Okay, I have to admit, I was a little confused. WHERE ARE THESE VOICES COMING FROM!? (Me: Smooth Raz… Raz: shut up -_-')

Do it, the second voice said, kill her, use your powers. You're the king of Hell, right? She's just a petite mortal, kill her, get her out of your way!

No, don't, the first voice said, she's your friend, don't kill her. She had no clue, she didn't mean too, you ASKED her too, didn't you? (AN: Me: LOL! That rhymed! ^_^ Raz: lol)

I looked down at Shay. Her eyes were wide and full of tears. Wtf, why the hell was she so frightened? I looked at my gloved hand, which was now holding the side of her pale face. Her brown hair was falling out of her tight pony tail in light wisps. God, I have to admit, she was pretty (AN: Raz: … Me: ^^'')

"Don't hurt me…" she said softly, barely a whisper, "I…I didn't want to make you mad…I wanted to help…"

I know that Shay. You didn't know. And if she didn't know, then why am I scaring her? I'm not trying to frighten her, I just…

Do it now… The cruel voice said, call upon you Grandfathers sword, slice at her, scare her, make her scream…

NO! The first voice said, DON'T LISTEN RAZIEL! LEAVE HER BE!!

Hey wait a second…I knew that voice…

Dante??

…Dad?

No way, my father was dead. God I must be going crazy…

Kill her, hurt her, harm her… Damn that second voice is getting annoying. It Didn't seem familiar though. Break her…

OKAY! That voice is OFFICIALLY sick. There wasn't a cats chance in Hell that I would…break…Shay!

I look down onto the girl face. Even though I wasn't going to touch her in that way, she still seemed to be afraid that I was going to.

"Shay…" Damn, why did my voice sound so cold?

"H-Hai?" She whispered/stuttered. Wtf was up with her?

"…Why are you acting so frightened?" I asked.

Shay stayed silent. "Well?" I said, "Answer me." She bit her lip, "I…You seemed angry…and…" she went silent, stil chewing on her lower lip.

Angry? She was scared because I was angry? Huh…I see. Shay closed her eyes, but I was too caught up in my thinking to really notice.

Take her…Kill her… once voice said.

Don't do it Raz, you know better! I heard my father say. Suddenly, a memory of my family and me growing up came into mind…

~*~*~*~*~*Flash Back~*~*~*~*~*~

I looked down below. Man…our roof was higher then I thought…I checked the rope around my waist and the grapling hook in my hand one final time. "All systems go." I said to myself. Hey, gimme credit, I'm an 8 year old kid.

After making sure the grappling hook was secure I threw down the other end and began my climb down. Psh, sneaking out of the house was easy.

I must have been climbing for a few minutes when suddenly, my rope jerked. I looked up. "Whatcha doing there, Raziel?"

I gulped, "Heh heh…Hi Dad." Shit, I was in trouble now.

"Heh heh, hi son." I looked up at my father. His name was Dante and he had whitish silver hair. He was pretty strong, and he wore a red trench coat, and man did he have some awesome stuff.

"Well, what are you doing?" he repeated.

"I was just…um…" damn I couldn't think. "uh…just checking out this rope dad." I gave him a cheesy smile.

My father smirked. Damn, that wasn't good. "Well, I hope ya have a nice trip." He said. I was puzzled, but before I could ask him what he was talking about, he let the rope and the grappling hook go. "WHOA!" I started to fall.

Down…

Down…

Down…

SPLAT!

I hit the ground finally. Damn it…I'll get even with him one day…

~*~*~*~*~End Flash Back~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I sighed. Yep, that was quite a memory. Damn…I had more, but I try to keep them blocked. Why dwell in the past and worry about the future when you live in the present? I sighed again. Man, some people can be pretty confusing.

Suddenly, I felt something drip onto my glove. What the…? I look down. "What the hell?"

Shay's eyes were closed. Her skin was pale-no, white. Her face was turned so her mouth was by my glove. I take my hand away carefully, and look at my glove. Blood smeared the black leather. I looked back at her. Her white cheek was smeared crimson, also.

"Wtf is going on…?" I mumbled. Suddenly, I heard something besides the gentle fall of the rain that I just barely noticed. I didn't know what it was at the moment, so I stood there. Silent.

Tap…

Tap…

Tap…

It was the tapping of a cane. Wtf, a cane? (AN: Raz/Ashton: …A cane? Me: Shut it -_-' )

"Told you I'd come back."

I knew that voice…

That cold, smirking voice…

I spun around. Charles stood there, smirking. "We meet again, Raziel."

I narrowed my eyes. How the hell did he know my name? Suddenly, something hit me. "You're the reason Shay's out cold!" I said. He smirked, "Smart little devil, aren't we?"

I growled, "Leave her alone…" I said, my voice deathly cold. "But why?" He said, "She shall be mine to have and to hold soon enough." I glared, "Over my dead body." I said.

"So be it…" Charles said. I held my hand out, making the Sparda sword appear. The vampire smirked. "Whats so funny?" I spat.

He shook his head, "I didn't come here to fight," he said, "I came here to give you notice." I lowered my sword. "What sort of notice?" I asked.

Charles smirked-damn he smirks too much-, "Prepare yourself, little king. I shall take your little friend there"-he pointed to shay- "in 2 weeks. So flee if you want. I will find you."

"We won't run," I said, "we will fight."

"Have it your way then." Then he disappeared.

~*~*~*~*~Authoress POV

Raz sighed and turned around to look at his friend. Shay was still ghostly white and limp. The teen kneeled down by the chair. {Give me a sign that you're all right…} he said, caressing the young girls cheek with his gloved hand.

As the leather touched the girls skin, her eyes fluttered open. "Wha…" she looked at Raz. "…Raziel?"

Raz gave a sigh of relief, "You're okay, good," and straitened up. "I'm going to bed." He started for the room he and Elle shared, but stopped, "Oh…and Shay…were not going to go out at nights for a while. Sorry."

Shay blinked, "Why not?" But instead of answering her question, Raz walked into the room and shut the door.

Shaylien Strife sat there for quite some time. "…Its got to have something to do with Charles…"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Me: Well, there's ch11.

Raz: …You're making me go SO out of character…

Me: I know…*sigh* I'll try harder to make it better, okay? Just remember, these two are falling in love, so of course there going to be a bit OOC.

Raz: …

Me: ANYWAYS, I'm working on ch12. Read and Review! ^_~

I want at least 5 reviews for ch12 to come up! Review TWICE if you want, just as long as it says something different. Oh, and ch12 will be full of drama and angst ^.~
