Hello! I'm sorry if my notes seemed a little hasty in the last chapter... I
nearly got myself literally kicked off the computer -___-; But here is the
next chappie (O.O it's already the 17th?) A reader posed an interesting
question in one chapter, and since I'm such a nice person (yeah right) I
decided to do it... So if you want to be notified when I update this story,
leave your e-mail address and a notice in the reviews!
As you have probably noticed, I sent a Valentine's Day greeting all who reviewed in the chapters 13-16 and all who have me on their favorites list. If you didn't receive it (I must have missed someone with such a long list... I'm truly sorry if something like that happened...) and would like to see the crappy picture I drew to you, please notify me and I'll send it to you.
I'm sorry, it wasn't exactly clear who I meant Shadi to be... *grimaces* For once I decide to let a piece of information go before it's time, and I can't even write it clearly... Kinda worrying... Oh. Yes. Shadi is the hunter, the unknown. ^^ I know some of you were really not expecting that, I'd bet...
Happy Valentine's Day and a hundred thanks to Diamond (*huggles plushies*), highqueenofthegods (Your review only showed up as '?'... Was it meant that way?), firedraygon97 (what if I can't answer anything else but 'it just comes to me'?), Jadesaber (I thought that bit with Marik and Ishtar pretty good, too!), rabbitinthemoon630 (long? I don't think it to be especially long yet...), Princess Strawberry (I'm sorry, I've been a bit busy... I'll try to get around to reading your story soon...), Silver Dragon (2 hours of sleep only? O.O and no, I don't think Yugi'll be a vampire), Ru-chan (^^), KJM^33 (Sorry... In not having time to write the responses, I forgot to e- mail you when I updated... Will not happen again! And I don't have any secret on how I update so 'fast' *is a bit confused* It's not fast, for one thing...), Jack V. Briefs (I'm trying to be a good girl now and update a bit more frequently. Emphasis on 'try'...), Slice (*thinks* You might just like this chapter very much too...), Lady Kaiba (I'll be waiting for the next chapter in your story...), Seventh Sage (I think by now you must've noticed I'm not around the computer during the time you are at least from Monday to Friday...), Neko-chan (*is a bit dazed after reading such a praising review and cannot think of anything to say* ... You think I portray Yami Bakura well? @.@), Dark Lady Setsuna (R/B fan? This chappie has something on them too...), Naturi (Yugi as a vampire is a very tempting thing, but it would screw up my plot... ^~), Difinity (One of a kind? *shakes her head* I don't get you people... But I do love writing so that the scenes just leap to your eyes from the page... I hope I've accomplished something of the kind...), amber (^^), Renee the Rabid Squirrel (Did I promise a M/I scene? I'm sorry... This chappie has some M/I... Just because I got all mushy when Valentine's Day approached ^^), Hotaru the Demon Goddess (*contended sigh* People like my stories...), BluJay (Now that you mentioned it, Jou really does have a small part... I'll try to write of him more, but he's kind of a hard character for me to write of... I'll try), MaidenoftheMoon (yes, Ishtar is Yami Malik... And the manga scans can be found at www.yugioh.esmartkid.com among all the other places...), Betrayal (^.^), r*a*d*i*a*n*y (confuzzling? ^^ Now there's a word that sounds fun!), jeti (the whole fic in one sitting? O.O It's not long compared to some giants, but still...), Mina (thank you!), Hawk's Angel (Thank you so much! ...Who/what is Christopher Pike?), The Imfamous ~Ash~ (Another one who read the whole story in one sitting? *shakes her head* this is bordering a miracle...), Chibizoo (Yami will be alright when Yugi talks with him a bit... I'm not so cruel as to keep him like that...) and Yana (You haven't read a Yugioh vampire story before...?). I really hope I didn't miss anyone... And my notes already take up a whole page x.x
Slaying the Dreamer, chapter 17: Wrong Words
---Seto POV---
There he was again... That fascinating human... Why did I keep following him? ...Fine. I was willing to admit now, when I could see him, that I really wanted to have him. Odd of a vampire? Perhaps it is, but what's the use of pretending that I didn't?
The said human was standing beneath a tree, looking up at the sky. The moon was nearly gone now. Soon it would be new moon, the darkest time in the cycle of the celestial, pale queen. But soon she would return and shed light upon the night-time world again. I needed that light, now that I couldn't see the sun. It seemed an eternity since I could...
"You might as well come here. I know you're stalking me again..."
I looked at the blond human in surprise. He shouldn't have been able to know about me... And what was with the submissive tone, he had been so angry at me all the times we had met. I shrugged it off and went to him, to stand beside him, gazing upwards. His smell enticed me, it was a gentle mixture of blood and modern smells, of the wildness of night. I could hear his heart beating, being this close to him, and the quiet beats I knew transported his sweet blood all over his body were music to my ears.
For a long time neither of us spoke, we merely stood there, gazing upwards. The night was still, I couldn't hear anything that would disturb us, just birds singing somewhere in the distance. Such a wonder, I had found the modern cities to be noisy and loud. Not that they hadn't been that before.
"Why do you do this to me?"
I blinked down at the human. Do what to him?
He slid down to the ground, still looking up at the dark sky, not at me. He was silent, refusing to explain himself. I crouched next to him, searching his face for some kind of a sign of his feelings.
"...What do you mean?"
"You should be able to figure it out"
I thought on that for a while. What could he mean... When one particular thought came up, first I dismissed it, as too impossible. Then, when it came back, I gave up and decided it was worth a try.
Smiling slightly, I leaned to him and placed a kiss on those inviting lips of his. He gave a little start, and I could hear how his heartbeat suddenly became quicker. Had I been right?
He pushed me away, frowning.
"Don't do that"
"Why not?"
He didn't answer, instead just looked away and seemed uncomfortable.
"How do you think Yugi is doing? I visited him today when he didn't show up at school [1], and he looked really pale. He wouldn't tell me what was wrong... Could that other vampire have...done something to him?"
I sighed. The pharaoh had always been a fool, and if he truly had fed on the boy he hadn't changed much. But I had thought he would have the self- control to restrain himself, no matter how big the temptation to do otherwise.
"If he was alive, he should be well. I don't think the pharaoh will let him get seriously hurt, no matter what he's done..."
"Are you sure?"
"Don't worry. I should know him by now..."
Silence fell between us again. Such informative silence, what people did meant more to me than what they said. Such had been the case since ancient times, when I learned how easy it was to lie with words... Body language wasn't that easy to change to your own purposes.
"Jou..."
The boy stubbornly refused to look at me. I sighed deeply, unable to keep in my impatience. He just had to be like that, didn't he... Well, I wasn't going to tolerate it.
I leaned to him again, taking his face between my hands, and looked into his eyes. What I saw? Confusion, mostly... But the other things...
"So this is why you won't stay at home... Interesting."
I turned around at the familiar voice.
"Mokuba, you should be asleep at this time of the night!"
Innocent eyes looked at me, innocence clearly covering amusement.
"Don't laugh at me, kid"
A smile twitched the corners of his mouth.
"But really, this is great! To catch the ever-cold Seto Kaiba like this..."
I growled. What an irritating brat he could be!
"Show a little respect to your elders, would you!"
Jou, who had been silent and unmoving until now, suddenly hit my chest. I turned my glare at him.
"Now what was that for?"
"Leave the kid alone!"
I heard Mokuba start laughing at the background.
Oh, perfect. What a night this had turned out to be.
---Ryou POV---
I was hugging the vampire, to my infinite surprise. And he didn't yell or hit me or do something else that would even slightly hurt me. He hugged me back. I hadn't been expecting that, to tell the truth. Despite of the way he had been acting with me this night.
Not that I'd have thought much on what I did, he had just seemed so confused, and him having confessed he wasn't good with relationships it became easier... Like he was human after all, despite being a vampire. It was a human problem, but I was sure he wouldn't appreciate to be told that. So I hugged him, content to bring out a little softer side of him.
"Are we just going to stand here the whole night?"
His question surprised me. I looked up at him, only to see a frowning face hovering over me. I couldn't resist, despite my best efforts, and kissed him. My mind resisted this, the wounds he had given to me were too fresh, I couldn't, but emotion overcame logic and there I was then...
If someone had told me a few days ago that I would end up kissing voluntarily someone who had raped me, I would have thought them crazy.
I could nearly feel the vampire's confusion, it radiated off of him in waves. But he hugged me closer and kissed me back, slowly gaining confidence in a thing I knew must be new to him. The kiss was tender, fragile... It didn't last long, as I knew it wouldn't. After I broke it, the vampire once again frowned at me.
"What was that for?"
"Can't I do a thing without a reason?"
I smiled shyly at his bewildered expression. I had a feeling things would be hard with him... Was I willing to go through that? ...I was. I knew it without a doubt. I wouldn't be satisfied without him, for good or bad he was now a part of my life, a very important one.
Sighing contentedly, I lowered my head against his chest. It wasn't time to think on that now, what would come to pass would come without me worrying over it. This was now, I should concentrate on it.
"Do you want to come over to my place?"
I could suddenly feel him draw away. I looked at him, only to find a reddening face. A blushing vampire? That was something that didn't seem right.
"I... It wouldn't seem right to touch you yet, you know. I mean... It would be great but I don't think we should..."
I could feel my eyes widen and a similar blush rise to my cheeks.
"I didn't mean it that way. I meant... to talk. Spend some time together, maybe. But not... that."
"Oh. Good. 'Cause, you know, it would have been too..."
"Yeah"
There we were, two blushing white-haired figures, a vampire and a human. Could relationships such as this work? No. I wouldn't think on that tonight. Tonight was for glad things.
"Shall we go then?"
With a questioning look the vampire lifted me to his arms. I snuggled close to him, from previous experience I knew that this way of moving about could get dizzying, and it was cold besides. Not that he was so warm, but he wasn't so very cold either.
...Yes. The murdered girl. He had fed tonight. I tried to ignore it.
---Marik POV---
I woke up only to find myself in darkness. A darkness that smelled of spices and... cold. How could something smell cold? Perhaps it was just in my mind. Slowly I came to realize that someone was beside me, I was wrapped in his embrace.
Oh yes. The vampire. I blushed in the darkness. I couldn't really believe behaving like that had been a good idea... A low chuckle came from the said creature.
"Awake, are we? It's about time"
He slid his other hand to grab my hair and brought my head closer to him, close enough to kiss. His lips closed on mine, and his slick tongue slipped into my mouth.
I tried to resist first, but gave up soon. Mostly because he clearly wouldn't let go. Not that I really wanted him to... It was just that this whole thing was something I truly hadn't been expecting, and it didn't help the vampire, who was now on top of me, kept deliberately messing with my head. I knew it, but couldn't do anything.
This was something new, to be completely at someone else's mercy... I liked it. With him I truly liked it, it felt...right. But anyone else who would have tried to dominate _me_ would have ended up dead. Or severely maimed.
Ishtar - I still wasn't used to calling someone by my last name - tried to rise, I didn't know what for, and neither did I care. But that wouldn't do, not now, so I reached up and drew him back to me. I could hear how he chuckled, but was too immersed in feeling his wet mouth slide down my chest to put much attention to that.
Suddenly something pierced the bliss I was falling into. A thought, a very interesting thought... Okay, a bit masochistic, but whatever.
"Hey, vampireguy!"
He raised his head to stare at me, irritated.
"Now what?"
"How about that bloodsucking you seemed so fond of last night...?"
An evil grin suddenly lit his face.
"Oh yes, bloodsucking..."
He slowly slithered up my body, leaving little kisses on my stomach and chest, making me shiver suddenly. Did he have to be so...without any kind of inhibitions? Say one thing, however impossible, and next moment he did it. Unnerving, but in a way it provided me with boundless fun...
I felt his hot breath come closer to my throat, and after a moment that seemed infinite to me, his mouth was touching my bare skin again. I took a deep breath, trying to prepare for whatever I would feel when his long fangs pierced my skin.
What happened wasn't anything I had expected. There was the pain alright, but it didn't continue for long. Instead I felt rising bliss, spreading over all my body from the little wounds he left. I moaned slightly, and could feel the vampire's mouth spread into a wide smile.
Now what was that about? Soon that thought left my, however, as did all else. My mind was completely taken over by the pure pleasure having him suck my blood caused. If I sometimes had time to think on this, I would probably be horrified, but now I was in heaven. No time for that.
I could faintly feel the vampire's hand roaming all over my body, but that was secondary compared to his mouth on my throat. Everything was secondary to that feeling. Even life.
---Shadi POV---
Soon now, very soon. My prey was coming closer every second, I could feel them. And it seemed that their powers had grown tremendously since our last encounter, but I wasn't worried about that. I had grown in strength myself, and would certainly prove to be a match to those three. If not stronger than all them together, but that remained yet to be seen. I wasn't about to be defeated again...
I had been very young and careless when we first met, when I had received that nearly fatal wound from the Millennium Rod... I hadn't really believed something stronger than one of us could exist, and that had nearly been my doom.
But then, I couldn't have died, could I? I was destined to kill them, take their miserable lives and make the world a slightly better place for all the people to live.
I was sitting in one of those 'trains' this modern time seemed so fond of, on my way from one city to another. It was fast, that much I was willing to admit. Now that nothing hindered me on my way, I would be with them by this morning. I would have to rest for the day, but the next night... The next night might very well prove to be their last.
