In the Twilight

Prologue

It was so dark tonight.

Running. Running. She had to keep running. They were gaining on her. She hadn't meant to but she had been so hungry. So very hungry. When she had seen that body lying there she had just seen food and taken it without a thought. That's when they saw her.

Gasping she tried to blink away her tears. She didn't have time for this now. She had to get away before they killed her. That was what was important. She couldn't die now. Not now. Not before she got a chance to tell him.

Licking the blood off her lips she saw she was almost at the end of the ally way. She was almost there.

" I sense her over here!" A weak voice cried.

Yugi.

Stumbling She fell forward.

It was Yugi!

Spinning around she watched as someone came closer and closer. He had come for her! Feeling tears start to fall she opened her month to call out his name. Only Yugi wasn't alone.

Behind him were six other people. It was too dark for her to see them but it wasn't hard to guess what they were.

" I see her!" One of them shouted.

They started to walk towards her. Their daggers gleaming in the moonlight.

They were going to kill her. That Anzu was sure of, but… Why wasn't Yugi doing anything?

Scared she looked at him, drinking in the sight of him. His face so long forgotten yet always there. Even in the dark she could tell it was him. Who else would have a hair style like that? Gods how she had missed him! His warm smile, his shy glances. His beautiful hands. Had it really been hundreds of years since they last saw each other? It felt as if it had just been yesterday.

" Yugi-" she started then froze in fear. The others were coming towards her, their weapons ready. She waited for Yugi to say something, anything to make them stop. To tell them what she was, but he did not. It soon became apparent he would not when one of the others attacked. His knife striking her arm. The smell of blood hung in the air.

" Yugi!" she screamed again and again as they continued to strike her. Why wasn't he saying anything!?

Fear turned her blood cold as stumbled from lack of blood and will. Why wasn't Yugi saying anything? Hadn't he said that she was his one and only? Hadn't they sworn they would always be together? Hadn't they?

" Yugi." she whispered one last time. She had to tell him. He had to know before it was too late. He had to-

The knife pierced her heart as she layed there. In moments she turned to dust. Her voice silenced forever.

" Geez," one of the men muttered. Coming into the light his crimson eyes seemed to glow as they watched the wind blow away her remains. " What was that about?"

He turned to Yugi, but Yugi wouldn't look at them. Shrugging he turned to the others.

" Well that's the last one today. Lets get a move on , we don't want to exhaust ourselves anymore than we already have. I don't know about you but I have to go to school early tomorrow, I mean today, and I don't want another detention anytime soon."

" Yeah yeah, I know what you mean Yami. My teachers already yelled at me for sleeping in the class last time we were out this late. I swear they enjoy giving me detention or something." One of the others said, his golden hair shining in the darkness.

" When haven't you been given detention? If I do recall you always used to sleep in class as well before you joined Yami's group mutt." A tall figure with cold blue eyes smirked at the one called "mutt".

" I resent that Kaiba. I'll have you know-"

Their voices trailed off as they walked away. Leaving Yugi alone in the alley.

Staring at the spot where she had died, her voice still echoing in the darkness, he fell to his knees. Tears on his cheeks.

" I'm sorry," he whispered. " I'm so sorry."

But no one was there to hear him, not anymore.

Snapping awake he looked out the window. Tears trailing down his pale cheeks. Reaching up with a shaky hand he touches his tears and looks down sadly.

" Someone special died tonight" he whispered. His voice echoing into the night.

AN: figured I'd try writing differently this time. This story is actually really fun to write. Hope you review, ja.
