Anzu, Ryuuji and Bakura made their way up to Anzu's front door; Anzu unlocked it and shoved Bakura inside before he could protest.

"Thanks for the evening Ryuuji, it was really fun," Anzu said smiling up at the black haired boy who grinned.

He laughed slightly, "That's good to know, even if it did seem that you spent the entirety trying to keep me and that Bakura guy from tearing each other's throats out."

Anzu smiled shyly, "Should I take that as a complement or an insult on Bakura's part?"

"I don't know," Ryuuji seemed to lean in a little closer, his eyes were half lidded and he had a charming smile on his face, "you tell me," he smirked.

"Hm," Anzu pretended to think, "it wouldn't be very nice if you were insulting Bakura," she started.

"Don't be mad at me Anzu, I couldn't stand that, plus, did you not expect me to be jealous," Anzu blushed.

"Jealous?" Anzu almost stuttered.

"Well yes," Ryuuji drew his hands out of his pockets, "I was in the company of a beautiful young lady and I didn't want anyone to come between us," Ryuuji drawled as he twirled some of her brown hair around one slender finger.

"That's very nice of you to say Ryuuji-kun," he leaned in a little bit further, her sapphire eyes locked with his emerald ones.

"I could say a lot of nice things about you Anzu," one of his arms looped around her waist and drew her closer. His other hand reached up to cradle her cheek delicately; he smiled and leaned in further, mere centimetres away.

R-really?" this time she really did stutter.

"Oh yes," Ryuuji replied before gently kissing the corner of her mouth, ghosting his way over her lips before pulling away. Anzu's eyes fluttered and looked up at him.

"I think you should go Ryuuji-kun," she said gently.

"Did I do something wrong?" he asked, his cool demeanour fading into what appeared to be disappointment.

"No, I just don't know if I'm ready for a relationship yet," she smiled at him, "But it was a very nice first kiss."

"F-first," Ryuuji grinned, "Well I will take it as an honour to be your first fair lady," he bowed and made his way back to his car.

"Goodnight Ryuuji-kun."

"Ja ne Anzu-chan," he grinned and climbed in his car, driving away.

Anzu suddenly found herself yanked into the house, "Aaah," she yelped.

"He really likes you," Seth smirked at the disgruntled and half-tired glare that Anzu gave him.

"I don't take dating tips from blood sucking vampires," she crossed her arms and turned away from.

"Oh, well then who do you take it from?" Seth raised an amused eyebrow, she didn't respond. "Oh come on little one, what I said couldn't have been that offensive at least," Seth smirked,

"It's not what you said, it's what you did," Anzu replied making for the stairs but Seth blocked her path.

"I'm sorry but I have school tomorrow and subsequently need sleep," she scowled when Seth ignored her.

"Can't you spare me a little of your precious time?" Seth asked.

"What would you use it for if I did?" she asked.

"I just wanted to talk to you, is that a crime?" Seth inquired.

Anzu glared at him but the moment was thrown off course as she yawned using both hands to cover her gaping mouth.

"Careful," Seth taunted, "a fly might nest in there."

"Go away," Anzu mumbled sleepily; "I want to go to bed," her eyes drooped.

Seth chuckled and stepped aside, "Can I talk to you anyway?" She nodded slowly, her vision was blurring slightly at the edges as her tiredness began to take hold of her.

"Fine, whatever," Anzu sighed in defeat, Seth smirked and stood to the side allowing the girl to move past and up the stairs to her room.

Anzu went into her room and grabbed her two piece pyjama set off the bed; Seth just leaned against the door, "Could you turn around please?" Anzu blushed, even in her half asleep state she was still aware of her surroundings.

"I could," Seth trailed off.

Anzu hesitated a moment, yawned and then said, "Okay, very funny, will you turn around."

"Took you a while there human, and the answer is no by the way," Anzu blushed, "I was very powerful as mortal, do you think I've never seen a woman before?" While he was speaking he had walked up to her, towering over her. Anzu resisted the urge to cringe this guy's height was nothing short of intimidating, not to mention he was taller than Seto Kaiba.

"One would have to wonder if said woman was willing," Anzu glared up at the icy blue eyes that bore into hers.

Seth smirked, "None."

"Yes well," Anzu gathered herself, "women aren't so likely to take things lying down nowadays so I'll ask you nicely, please leave the room or at least turn around."

Seth sighed waiting a moment to examine the determined look in Anzu's eyes, "Alright mortal, as you command," he bowed mockingly and face the wall.

"Thanks," he heard her say, there was the sound of cloths falling to the floor, some draws opening and closing and then, "Ready."

He turned and gulped, trying to make it as unnoticeable as he could; his eyes raked up and down her figure, the pyjamas left barely anything to the imagination. With a spaghetti strapped top that had obviously shrunk in the wash or been bought at a lingerie store, it showed a lot of her stomach. Then there were the shorts that where more like baggy hot pants than anything else, Anzu blushed when she caught him starring.

"What did you want to talk about?" she sat down on her bed and patted the spot beside her. Seth didn't say anything but walked over to her and sat down next to her. His hands twitched but he kept them firmly planted at his sides.

"Um," he mumbled, why was he so hesitant, he'd never felt this way around a woman and he'd been with many, even some more beautiful than Anzu, "what do you do during the day?"

"I go to school," he looked confused, "where I learn," she raised her eyebrows, didn't they have school back in Ancient Egypt? Lucky people.

"To read and write?" Seth looked confused, since when were girls taught anything but how to take care of a man.

"No, I learned that when I five," Anzu gave him a weird look, "Stuff like math, English, history, geography and all those other loving subjects," her voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"Things have changed," was all Seth could say.

Anzu nodded, "Since you're time anyway, hey Seth," he looked at her, "why do vampires suck blood?"

"We have none of our own," he whispered.

"How do you become a vampire?" Anzu asked, "Can anyone be one?"

"In a vampire's fangs there is a sort of poison if you will that is released if, when the vampire is draining your blood, the vampire in question intends to turn you into one. It merges with you're blood, makes it bad, you're then fed some of the blood from the other vampire and the combination turns you into one," Seth finished.

"I thought vampires didn't have blood," Anzu said, Seth smiled sadly and grabbed a compass of Anzu's desk and put it to his wrist. "Seth, what are you doing?" Anzu cried distressed as Seth dug the compass into his wrist and pulled creating a long deep gash.

"Oh gosh," Anzu put her hands to her mouth and watched in astonishment as a puss like substance seeped slowly from the wound, a sickly, yellowy orange colour.

"This is what our blood has become," the gash healed, "we drink human blood to keep us alive."

"Otherwise what?" Anzu asked hesitantly.

"Otherwise, the blood drains and poison slowly begins to kill us, but since we can never die, our healing powers are too great, it would be an eternal torture," Seth replied sighing heavily again.

"That's horrible, but isn't there anything that could replace the blood?"

"Not unless we were human," Seth looked sad for a moment before the emotion, along with all others, were wiped from his face, "But that will never happen," he stood up abruptly.

"Seth," Anzu reached sympathetically for his wrist but missed.

"Goodnight Anzu," he said stiffly before exiting the room.

Anzu half expected him to come back in but when she heard him going down the stairs and her alarm clock beeped t tell her it was 1 in the morning she decided to climb under the covers and go to sleep.
