Chapter 7
Kaiba wearily inched down the hall, towards the second Vampire aura. He found that the doorway to the room was cloaked in shadows, which meant that the room was also most likely covered with darkness as well. This wasn't something that Kaiba was too happy about. He knew that it meant that the vampires strength would be multiplied and that they would have at their command one of the most powerful weapons that a Vampire could.
The Darkness...
Kaiba was still standing in the same place when Bakura stared to talk.
"Well, well... When I finally let the hunters into my house I get the wrong one... I wanted your partner..." Kaiba slowly walked to the door way but didn't go into the room as he stood there he pulled a small dagger form it's sheath, and set the sword on the floor. Normally he didn't wonder about what a Vampire thought but he was strangely curious about why the Vampire wanted one hunter but not the other.
"Why?"
"Because I have no quarrel with you." Kaiba stood there his mouth hanging open, staring at the back of the Vampires head.
"You BASTERED! You kill my little brother and then you have the nerve to say that you have no quarrel with me." Bakura let out a snicker and set his cup on the small hand table next to him.
"And you're supposed to be the smart one?" He stood, driving the sword that had been in his lap into the ground, and then turned to Kaiba. "I never did anything to you, or your 'Family'."
"YOU KILLED MY LITTLE BROTHER!!" Bakura tilted his head and looked at Kaiba curiously.
"You think that I did that?" Kaiba glared and Bakura laughed a laugh that was used only most exclusively when you knew something that others didn't.
"Kaiba do you ever wonder what makes you a hunter?" Bakura held his hand out behind him and a small stiletto dropped from the sheath that was on his wrists..
"What?" For an answer the man whipped up his hand, flicked his wrist and sent the blade spinning thought the air. Kaiba sidestepped the blade and grabbed its handle as it went spinning past him. Before he could get the blade to the correct position to attack with the Vampire jumped at him. Kaiba swung crosswise with both blades, trying to ward off the attack of the Vampire. But the Vampire instantly ducked and rose up between the arcs of the attack, palm striking out at Kaibas face. Kaiba collapsed to the floor and his left leg shot out along the right of the vampires feet. He swirled his arms over himself blocking the decent of the undead first and then slashing with the blades next. Kaiba felt Bakura grab his hand and pull the stiletto from it. Kaiba hooked his left foot behind the Vampires ankle and his other leg shot up.
And hit absolutely nothing.
The Vampire arced back away from him and landed in the same spot he had started in the same stiletto he had thrown in his hand again.
The entire ordeal had taken less than 10 seconds. Bakura smiled at him, showing off his elongated canines.
"No human could ever do all that so fast." Kaiba just glared at him. "Do you think that a normal person could?" Kaiba started to respond but then shut his mouth realizing that if he said yes he would just be lying. Bakura crossed his arms, still holding the handle of the stiletto between two of his fingers.
"The only reason that you can do that is because of the vita that flows through your veins" Kaiba stared at him, not quite understanding what it was that Bakura was saying. The Vampire stared at him for a moment.
"You... You DIDN'T know?" The Vampire laughed once more. "When you asked him to turn you into a Hunter you didn't know what was going to happen? Oh... That's almost sad." He said shaking his head.
"He had to turn you... He had to give you the vita of one of us." Kaiba stared, and then shook his head.
"No... No. That's just not true." The Vampire leisurely sauntered over to the Hunter and he smiled once more.
"Yes, Kaiba. You are ...and... if you look at it in an abstract sense I'm your Sire." Bakura started to toss the stiletto in the air, catching it by the handle every time. "Yami managed to get some of my blood and then put it into you."
"You lying bastered, that's a load of shit and you know it, and you still have to tell me why you don't have a problem with me." Bakura sighed.
"One of the problems with kids you days. None of you ever wait for anything. I was getting to the part about that. You see Yami, obviously, managed to get some vita but it was from some 10th generation... animal... that had no control over his beast. He hunger for blood just as much as we did for a while. He needed blood and the only one he could find around was your brother." Kaiba just stood there. He though about all the times that Yami had hinted at that fact, how he had said that he was sorry for nothing that Kaiba could figure out, and how he had always let Kaiba talk about his brother, but had with such sadness in his eyes.
"But... But...."
"It's almost ironic. I killed his wife to be once long ago, thought that was really for fun, and then he killed your younger brother, thought that was from his need for food...." Kaiba stood there and simply stared. He couldn't believe it. His partner... The closets thing he had to a friend... Was the one who had killed his brother...
A burning rage consumed the Hunter and he gave Bakura a smile, that made him look just like the Vampire.
"Where's Yuugi?"
"Go back to the main entrance and then go straight. He's in the main room." Kaiba gave Bakura one more look then walked out, stopping for a moment to pick up the sword that was laying on the ground.
:::::::::: ) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Yami closed his eyes and concentrated hard to find...
Bakura was still alive.
The Hunters eyes snapped open and he started to run towards him. 'Kaiba?' Yami tried to reach out with some of his powers and get any type of contact, but he failed. Yami swore and ran faster.
:::::::::: ) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Bakura heard Yami coming, and pulled the sword from the ground. He turned around, and waited for the hunter. Yami ran into the room, not checking for anything, which was a very rash move for him, but he stopped a good ten feet from the Vamp.
"Were is he?"
"Who?"
"YUUGI! WERE IS HE?!?!?!?!" Yami yelled gripping the hilt of his sword. Bakura turned away from him and stared out of the window, seeming to ignore the Hunter. He just looked out the window for a moment then looked over his shoulder at Yami.
"Your partner went to take care of him..." He said giving him a smile. A smile that Yami had seen too many times and a smile that Yami hated...
Yami smiled as well, and Bakura turned to him unsure as to why the hunter would be smiling.
Yami fished out a silver pendent that was in the shape of a dragon clutching onto a rose. The two figures were roughly the same size, though the dragon was a tiny bit bigger as it managed to wrap its tail around the roses end, and still was able to twist its head around the top of the flower. Bakuras eyes widened as he saw the pendent.
It was Bwins.
Bakura stared at the pendent and knew that it was hers. She had never really talked about it, only saying once that it was a gift from her mother and father, but she had never, in all the time that Bakura had known her, taken it off. He had seen her with nothing else on, but she always, always had the pendent on.
For the first time in centuries he could feel his emotions stirring. He could feel anger, hatred, loneliness and.... and even sadness...
She was gone.... His Bwin... His a'mael kalina.
Yami tossed the pendent to him and Bakura caught it, and then stared at it. He looked up at Yami and the hunter could tell that he had struck deeper than he had meant to...
The hunter had only a moment to prepare for the attack.
Bakura jumped at him, and brought the sword down, using as much as much force as he could, trying to break through Yamis defenses. The impact of the blow was huge and even with the for knowledge of the blow Yami was pressed down onto one knee.
Bakura landed in front of Yami and kicked out, trying to hit Yami in his ankles. Yami jumped up and backwards. He landed and could feel the beast, which had for so long been dormant, beginning to stir. He pushed it back down and brought his sword up. Bakura ran at him once more and feigned to the left and then swung at Yamis right. Yami managed to ward off most of the blow, but the sword did indeed give him a shallow cut. He could feel not only the cut of the blade but also the blood poison that Bakura had coated on the blade. The poison, more than the cut made his leg give out from under him.
Yami fell to the ground but as soon as he hit, he stared to heal the wound, and tried to clean the poison from his system. One more he felt his beast rise within him. Usually Yami would just push the beast away, aside, but this time he let the hunger, the anger and everything else that the beast symbolized, awaken, and he embraced it.
Bakura could tell that Yami was now more Vampire than human, and he was going to be a lot harder to take down...
Yami lunged at him, making one large arc sword. Bakura ducked and rolled to the side. Yami pivoted on one foot, going even faster than the Vampire himself. Bakura didn't have time to get up before Yami managed to turn and bring the sword around.
In the seconds that came during the fall of the blade Bakura could feel the pointlessness of it all. He realized that this was it. The final Death. Something that he had avoided for centuries, was coming and there was nothing that he could do...
He wasn't living forever. He wasn't dieing at the hands of an antediluvian. He was dyeing at the hands of this hunter...
This human...
This... mortal...
The last thing that he thought of was Bwin, of how he had treated her so poorly, how much he had really cared for her, and once when she said that their death would come at the hands of their salvation.
He guessed... that in some odd way... she was right.
Bakura tried to hoist up his own sword but he wasn't fast enough, and the sword sliced right through his spine and neck. Right after his head fell from the body a stream of darkness erupted out. Yamis pushed the hunger back down as soon as the head fell from the body. Quickly Yami burned the body, knowing that if he just left the body without a head Bakura could come back...
As he watched the body burn he could still feel the poison in his, but he didn't have time for that. He had to get to Yuugi...
After the body was gone Yami closed his eyes and once more reached out for his once partner. Oddly he could now feel Kaiba, and could tell were he was. Knowing Kaiba as well as he did Yami knew that the man would be taking some form of vengeance on Yami and that meant hurting the only person that meant anything to him.
Yuugi...
