A Light in Darkness
Chapter 2 – Attraction to the Human
He just stood there, smiling at me, without a care in the world. How did he know I was coming? I couldn't move. My legs seemed frozen. I asked my question a second time.
"Who are you?" He laughed at my inquiry. I noticed something. His laugh…it was so…carefree and pure. As was his voice. The finest maidens couldn't even match up to his beauty. Why am I thinking this? Then, he spoke.
"You should know that. You came to kill me, didn't you?" I got lost in my own thoughts again. How the hell does he know all this? Who is this kid? I was snapped out of my trance when he began to speak once again.
"There was another vampire here a couple of times. But, for some reason, he just couldn't get close to the house," he said, thoughtfully. He's right. Marik told me that he couldn't get near the boy…but, why can I? Marik seemed so persistent when he said to get rid of him. I asked him another question.
"How the hell did you know I was coming?" He smiled at me. He looked…so amused.
"I've known for a while that you vampires have been trying to get rid of me," he explained, while looking at me with those chocolate-brown eyes of his. This still didn't make sense. 'He is not a regular human.' I remembered Marik's words. But…even if he wasn't regular, how could he have the power to see this? It doesn't make any sense. And if he knew we were coming, why didn't he flee? So, instead of just asking myself, I decided to ask him.
"If you knew we wanted to kill you, then why were you unafraid? Why didn't you run?"
"I dunno actually. I just…wasn't. Something told me that I shouldn't be, especially towards you Bakura," he told me. Then, he looked towards the window, and at the outside.
"You should get back; it looks as if it's going to start to rain again," he informed me. Why does he care? But, he was right. I could practically smell it…and its presence sent shivers up my spine. But first…I had to complete my task for Marik.
"I have to kill you first, remember?" I smirked. Although he was gifted, the boy was still human, and easy to dispose of. He didn't move.
"Do what you must," was all he said. I stood there, in complete shock. He just told me to go kill him. This kid definitely isn't normal. I walked up to him, his back turned to me. I raised my hand to his neck, my claws positioned at his delicate throat…
"Go ahead. It's what you were ordered to do, wasn't it?" His taunting irritated me. Just one slash and that's all I need. But, I couldn't do it. I just…froze. Nothing happened. He looked at me and I retreated out the door without a second thought.
I ran through the streets, with my mind, not on the rain that was rapidly closing in, but on the human boy and his mysteriousness. 'I have to kill you first remember?' 'Do what you must.' His reaction to what I had said. It was so…unnatural. And, I still didn't understand how he knew that we were coming for him. And more…
"Why couldn't I kill him?" The question repeated itself over and over in my head. All I had to do was one slash across his neck…why couldn't I? Something inside my head told me not to do it…but…what was it? Out of all my questions, this one puzzled me the most. I was always able to kill my victims with ease, not questioning it, or having a second thought. Why was I suddenly frozen when it came to him?
I reached the entrance to the lair and stepped inside quickly. Once I did, the rain began to fall. That was close. I turned my head, and saw Marik walking towards me.
"Bakura, how did it go?" He questioned. I cringed at the fact that I had failed him, it was the first time I ever did. But I still wanted answers about that boy, Ryou.
"I got inside, and he was there. He wasn't afraid of me, but he knew who and what I was. And, he knew that I was there to kill him, but he didn't do anything."
"So, you got rid of him then?"
"Actually…I was about to, but I just…couldn't." Marik's face grew worrisome and he seemed to have gotten lost in his own thoughts. He turned toward the window, and watched as the rain fell gracefully onto the pavement outside.
"Bakura, once the rain passes again, return to his home…but this time, make sure you get rid of this boy." With that, he walked back upstairs and left me standing there, still in a trance; still confused. I sighed heavily. I couldn't mess up the next time I went back. Marik is counting on me. But, once again, questions came to my mind. Why could I get near the boy, when Marik couldn't even get close to his house? I shook my head. Maybe if I sleep a little, I can clear my thoughts. I laid down on the couch and closed my eyes.
"Where am I?"I sat up, my head throbbing. I was on something soft. I looked down and noticed that I was on a bed.
"You shouldn't get up." I heard a familiar voice tell me. I looked around and saw Ryou sitting right next to me. He smiled, and placed his hand on mine. His hand was so… warm.
"Lie down some more; get some rest. You need it." I looked into his eyes. Why was I with him? Why was he taking care of me? He saw the way I was looking at him and suddenly grew worried.
"Bakura? What's wrong?" He asked. I couldn't answer. I just stared at him…his pureness and beauty. I've never realized it until now. The light emanating from him…it comforted me. I was drawn to him…and there was an emotion there that I have never felt before.
"Ryou…" Not thinking, I embraced him and cupped his chin in my hand. Our faces were mere centimeters apart when…
My eyes shot open and I sat up, looking around. I was in the lair's lounge, on the couch. I clutched at my head. What was that? Me and…Ryou? Why was I acting so strangely? What I felt in that…it wasn't like what I've ever felt towards someone before. I looked outside. It wasn't raining anymore, my perfect opportunity. I stood up, and ran out the door towards his house quickly.
I needed answers.
I burst into Ryou's house and ran up the stairs to his room, where he was sitting on his bed. I ran up to him, and he looked at me, his brown eyes filled with curiosity.
"Bakura? What's wrong?" I stared at him. He said those words in my dream, as if he actually cared about me. I picked him up by his shirt and practically blew up in his face.
"How the hell did you know who I was? And why do I keep having dreams about you?" He looked at me, not scared, but not unafraid either, and didn't answer. I pushed him against the wall, and he cringed on the impact.
"Answer me damnit!" He looked towards the floor, his eyes suddenly saddened.
"I can't. I don't know why I knew who you were, and I don't know why I can sense where your kind is." I put him down abruptly. So, he doesn't even know about himself?
"What about the dreams, do you know anything about those?" I glared at him; my tone was still vicious. He looked up at me, his eyes brimming with crystal tears.
"No I don't know anything…I've been having some strange dreams as well…about you…" A tear fell down his cheek. Is he…crying? I put my hand to his face, and I seemed drawn to him, like I was in my dream. How does Marik expect me to kill someone that is so pure? I shook my head rapidly. Why am I so attracted to him? Then, he embraced me, and the shock on his face was just as visible as mine, as if he didn't mean to do it. Then, without thinking, my arms found their way around him. Then, I felt something in my chest…a pain. It became excruciating. I let go of him, and clutched at my shirt. He let go of me.
"Bakura, are you okay?" He was so concerned. Why? I hardly know this kid. Why is he drawn to me, and I to him? I took one last look at him before turning around, and running from the place I had entered, with more questions than what I had originally had.
"Marik!!" I called for my leader once I barged through the large wooden doors. He has to know something. He wants this boy dead so badly. He MUST know! Marik then ran down the stairs, worried, almost.
"Bakura? Did you kill the boy?" I stared at him. There had to be reasoning behind his obsession with killing Ryou.
"No, I couldn't. Marik, you must know something about him. Why am I drawn to him? And him to me? You want him dead so badly, but why?" He looked towards the ground, and then turned his back to me.
"I might know these answers. This same thing happened to another vampire some time ago. He was…somewhat like you. I told him to kill a certain human, but he couldn't. He was drawn to this human, and soon fell in love…a love that ended up destroying him." This only confused me more.
"Who, may I ask?" My tone was somewhat annoyed and somewhat curious. He turned towards me and said the one name I was shocked to hear.
"Yami."
