Serenity, to her luck, had
woken up to find the room alone. She had finally gotten used to the whole going
to bed during the day and awake at night. She had been living in the small room
for a week now, and with Kaiba as her only company, she started to feel lonely.
Kaiba wasn't one you could talk
to, he didn't care what she had to say to him, and when she tried to talk to
him, he said nothing or answered her, but that was rare. She hated being stuck
in the dark, not being able to see the light. The only light she had was from
the candles, but it wasn't enough for her, she needed to see the sun.
She couldn't understand how a
vampire could live like that, to live in the dark. It didn't make sense, why
would someone want to do that? Then again, maybe he didn't have a choice. She
felt sorry for Kaiba, for one to live with such hate and cruelty was sad, and
what made it worse he didn't care, and didn't mind at all.
But as the week had gone by,
Kaiba had been spending more time in the little room. She didn't mind that
much, she may not like him, but he was company and probably the one keeping her
sane.
But why couldn't he let her
walk around? She wouldn't are run if he told her not to, why did he keep her
locked up in this room? She knew there were others, she was sure they wouldn't
mind her right? Even if I were for an hour or so, it would still be good
enough.
---
Kaiba sat outside, under the
full moon. He had just finished his meal and already he wanted to return home.
Why? He didn't even know. Before he used to love the night, he was barely
inside. But maybe it was because he was looking for something, someone. Maybe
she was what he needed, maybe she was the light he craved for.
It had been years, and years
since he last saw the sunlight, and when he saw her, he saw it in her eyes. But
why should he take that from her? Wouldn't that be selfish? He was already
being selfish, keeping her locked up like she was some kind of animal.
She was different, from the
first time he had seen her, she acted different. She hadn't run, even though
she was in fear, she still kept her ground, and he liked the bravery. Even if
she were on the floor crying, she would still have that same fiery attitude,
one that matched his.
She kept him interested, how
could he ever be bored with her? But would she ever feel that way? He was
already having trouble accepting it to himself. For most of his life he had
nothing, and then she came and changed everything, but he couldn't figure it
out if it was for the better. He had never felt this way, such emotions were
new to him, and he didn't understand them at all.
But the main question was,
would she accept him for whom he was? Even he knew she deserved better then
him, but what if she did? What if apart of her liked him? All these what ifs
were running through his mind. Should he tell her? Or not. Each path leads to a
different story, and he wanted to choose the better one, he didn't need more
sadness in his life.
Sighing, he got up to go back
into what he called home. He was on his way to his room when he heard noises
from the main room. So he opened the door to see who was there. The usual four
was there, except this time another brunette was there.
Kaiba walked in, he wanted to
know the meaning of this. " Who the hell is that Bakura?" he said
pointing to the drunken teen sitting on his lap. Bakura smirked. " Well if
you can bring non-vampires here, I can," he said. " What are your
plans with her?" Kaiba questioned. " It is none of your concern and
never will be" Bakura said, remembering what he had once told him.
" You will get rid of her,
or pay the consequences" Kaiba said before walking out the door. He
couldn't understand how stupid Bakura was at times. Kaiba shrugged it off
though, she would probably be gone by tomorrow and he had things on his mind.
He waked into the room to find
her sitting on the couch, trying to read some book. He walked over to her and
handed her some food. She took it gratefully, a sweet smile on her lips. Kaiba
felt something, but immediately shrugged it off.
Serenity began to eat, but she
watched him from the corner of the eye. Tonight, she would ask him. She put
down her half eaten hamburger and walked over to him. Kaiba looked up at her,
wondering what she wanted.
" Master, can I ask you
something?" she said sweetly. Kaiba nodded for her to continue. "
Okay well you see, I've been locked up here for a while now, and I wanted to
know, if I could leave here, just for an hour or something, anything" she
said. Kaiba saw the sadness in her eyes, but shrugged it off; he didn't want
her to leave.
" You're not
leaving," he said simply. " Master, just for an hour! I can't take
being stuck in this room," she said. " Well get used to it," he
said. " I can't though! I hate it here" she said. Kaiba got up and
looked down at the young brunette and idea coming to mind.
" If I let you go, see the
day light one last time, would you promise to come back to me? After your last
day in the sunshine, you have to promise me to be with me, be by my side
forever" he said, his eyes watching her every move. " What? I just
want to go out for an hour, I will come back, you can trust me," she said.
Kaiba shock his head and pulled
her to him. " You're not listening to me! If I let you go, spend a day
with your brother, just for one day in the light, I want you to promise you'll
stay by my side till time ends, forever" he said. Serenity starred at him
in disbelief.
" I just want an hour! I
don't want to live or spend the rest of my life with you! You're an evil and
cruel person, I'd hate to live with you, I'd rather die," she said trying
to get away from him. She knew she was going to have it, but what he wanted was
impossible, never would she do that, it would only make him get his way, know
what she was his.
Kaiba slapped her in the face,
harder then last time. He had never expected some kind of answer like that; who
did she think she was? She had no right to say what she did, after what he
said, couldn't she tell he felt something for her other then something he
owned.
She felt tears come form her
eyes, god she hated showing how weak she was in front of him. " You stupid
bitch, you should be happy that I even considered you as someone to live with,
I should have killed you, your nothing but an ungrateful whore" he spat at
her, his grip getting tighter on her.
" Why would I want to
spend my life with you? For this? For you to smack me around treat me the way
you do? Well I can't stand it, I hate you so much" she said, her last
words a lie. Even after this, her heart could never hate someone, she just
disliked him.
That had earned her another hit
in the face, and this time he let go, making her fall to the floor. " I
don't care any more Kaiba," she said using his name. " Nothing you do
or say can make me love you or hate you more then I do now," she hissed at
him.
She watched, as his foot was
about to kick her face, but stopped. She laughed. " Going to hit me? Is it
going to make you feel better? So you can hit a girl, big deal, it doesn't make
you a man at all," she cried. Kaiba bent down, lifting her chin so she
faced him.
" Why can't you just shut
up? I was willing to give you a day before I made you into one of us, well
guess what? I'm going to do it anyway, and you will never see the light one
last time" he said, a smirked formed on his lips. " You can't do
that," she barely said through her tears.
" Yes I can, and I
will" he said and kissed her on the lips. Serenity's eyes flew open at the
sudden touch, was he actually kissing her? His kisses were forceful and
demanding, but she couldn't get away from his kiss. She felt his tongue brush
her lips, and it made her shut her mouth, she didn't want him to taste her.
But he did, he had bit down on
her bottom lip, making her open them to scream in pain. For the split second
her mouth was open, his tongue was in. He loved the taste of her, his tongue
exploring her small wet mouth. Soon though, his tongue had gotten a taste of
the blood that had come form her lip.
Never had he tasted something
so good, so perfect. The taste of her blood had made him hungry, as he began to
forget everything. He sucked on the bleeding lip, trying to get more of the
perfect taste, he wanted more, and it was driving himself crazy with desire.
" P-please st-stop"
she barely whispered. Kaiba stopped immediately. Her soft voice had brought him
back to reality and when he had looked down on her, fear struck him. " I'm
so sorry" he said wiping a tear that fell from her eyes. She pushed him
away, and to her surprise he had let her go.
She couldn't believe what had
just happened what he had done to her, it scared her more then anything else.
She felt his strong arms wrap around her and pull her into a hug. She didn't
fight him this time, she needed something to cry on, even if it was the man
that had caused her pain and sadness.
Kaiba held the small girl
tightly. He still couldn't believe what he had done, what was wrong with him?
Another idea passed through his mind as he pulled away from the crying girl.
Serenity sniffed and looked up at him, her eyes red and puffy.
" Come with me" was
all he said getting up, pulling her with him. . .
