By: Misery JohnsonDisclaimer: I Do Not Own Yugioh
I want to thank everyone who reviewed and apologize for not
updating earlier. I had a car accident on Thursday, which was
when I was planning on updating, so Now that I am feeling better
I plan on updating quicker between chapters.
This chapter is dedicated to xKuroSeraphimx who if you didn't
know has killer stories that you should check out. Said author
hasn't read my stories but I certainly have read hers.
Reviewers:
Kupo: She didn't, well… you'll see…

mya starnight Thanks for reviewing
Silver Moon Phoenix : You'll see, she mentioned him briefly in
the second chapter and chapter thirteen.
CherryBlossomLove : I know but it's going to get worse in this one.
Tsuzuki2001: Yep, you got it!!! You get a plushy of your choosing.
Chi Yagami: Um, Joey is already dead, was it unclear? Marik
killed him in the chapter before… They're part of my signature, it
took a while for the other author to grasp that concept. Not exactly
just not completely well…
I also wanted to thanks everyone for waiting for this chapter and I
hope you enjoy it. I'm going to make this one very long so first off
here's a recap of prior chapters just to refresh your memory:
Recap of chapters 12-16…
Pegasus kidnapped Anzu, Anzu met up with Joey. Joey was
angered by new of his sister's death and wanted revenge therefore
he betrayed Anzu, Bakura and Marik. Anzu began to contemplate
on her past suffering, finally coming to terms with her feelings for
Bakura. Pegasus forced his powers upon her and made her dance
with him. We learned of Pegasus' obsession with Tea and the battle
for her began. Marik killed Joey when he gave Pegasus' an
advantage over Bakura. Pegasus drank from Anzu and Bakura
killed him, then he had to give her his blood to complete the
transformation or she would die. The boys looked upon her room
only to discover that she was no longer there. I hope that clears up
a few things. There will character death in this chapter so hate me
if you must. Also Bakura will be OOC too since he will be worried
for her and this is an Au. Now on with the story…
Chapter 17: Blood Thirst
But as they turned into the hallway they heard a crash come from
her room. They dashed into it but Anzu was nowhere to be found.
Only glass littered the window area as the moon shined into the
room.
Bakura let out an angered scream as he trashed through the room.
There was no trace of her, no scent, nothing that could help him.
Marik stood in the doorway amused at Bakura's antics; this did
not go well with Bakura. "You mind giving me a solid reason why
I shouldn't kill you?" hissed said vampire. "Well use your brain",
he said slightly amused, "she as just turned, the moon shined
directly on her and she's missing". With that said he turned
around and left. She was with Bakura not him, which meant that
Bakura would have to rescue her; he was tired of not getting any
credit. Bakura stood there thinking over Marik's words until it
finally hit him. He smirked and walked out of the room, poor
humans they were in for a very troublesome night.
She prowled the streets, trying to calm the pain that surged
through her body. Images kept flashing through her eyes.
Different faces that held some clue to why she was in so much
pain. One was of a particular tri-colored male that lye in an
alleyway dead. Another was of a scruffy blonde that had his throat
slit. More and more came, but she couldn't pin any of them. They
were so fast that she couldn't keep track of them. Only one stood
out, that of a brunette male with the most alluring ice-blue eyes.
She saw him standing over her, sneering and laughing cruelly at
her. Her head began to spin as more images of him appeared; he
was with someone else in the present one. A young boy with
Raven-black hair. He looked a bit sad but was demonstrating an
ever-present smile. She felt sorry for him but that changed even
worse as she him lying in a coffin. He was so pale and fragile and
she tried to reach out for him but his brother pushed her away,
blaming her for his death. 'No, It wasn't my fault' she screamed at
him but he would have none of it. She felt anger surge through
her as she saw him stroll away arm in arm with some blonde. This
wouldn't do at all. "Are you alright?" came a distant voice. "Miss,
are you okay?" came the voice again. She looked up to see a young
blonde woman with concern written all over her face. "No but I
will be" she sneered as she pulled the woman into an alleyway.
She towered over the girl with an evil glint in her eyes. As she
looked at her prey, images of the other girl kept appearing before
her eyes. She saw the girl squirm to get out of her grasp but her
hold was too strong. She sank her teeth into the woman's warm
flesh, savoring every drop of the crimson fluid. She hissed as the
dead body dropped to the floor. She need more, much more.
Bakura smirked as look at the dead body in the alleyway; this was
her first victim he mused as he picked up a piece of her shirt. It
had been torn when she jumped out of the window and he began to
wonder if she was all right. He remembered his first blood thirst
had ended up early destroying an entire village. If she did that
tonight, surely someone would notice. Her scent had become strong
and he wondered where she'd go next. Somewhere out in the open
but secluded at the same time. Lots of people but none too obvious
to their surrounding… 'The Park' he thought as he began to stride
out of the alley. He stopped however, when he saw a man come
into view with a pretty little thing, obviously too drunk to know
where she was. 'Dinner is served'
She walked slowly and was steadily watching potential preys.
None were blonde and none were decent enough. She could feel the
hunger growing inside and needed to feed soon. Memories began to
surface as she took in her surroundings. Everything seemed so
familiar and she felt as though she had been happy here with
someone, but whom? All thoughts were put aside when she spotted
a brunette male sitting impatiently on a bench. 'His face seems so
familiar' she thought as she approached him. 'It's him' she hisses
mentally as she saw his trademark smirk. "Well, well, well, if it
isn't Mazaki" he sneered. 'Mazaki, is that my name?' she asked
herself and came to conclusion that that was her name. "How do
you know me?" she asked him wanting to know more about him
before she attacked him. "Cut the games, whore, I'm not in the
mood" he said as he began to stand up but she would have none of
it. She began to circle him as wild animals do to their prey. "I
asked you a simple question. Is that too hard?" She asked with a
bit of amusement in her voice. "What's wrong with you? You seem
different," he answered trying to mask the fear that had begun to
rise in his body. She seemed deadly pale and very disturbed. "Oh
but I don't feel very different. Not that I can remember being any
other way." She answered as she eyed him not losing sight of a
single thing he did. "I just feel this overwhelming hate towards
you and I don't like how you're avoiding my question" she said
her voice deadly soft. "We used to date you happy?" He really felt
like he should leave. He wasn't scared of anything but right in
that moment he could feel the tension in the air. How her eyes
looked at him as if he were a toy. Coldness surrounded him and he
had to hug his trench coat tighter to keep warm. "Quite the
contrary but I can fix it" she said as she advanced on him.
Bakura entered the park and felt drawn to a certain area; there he
saw his beloved savaging the corpse of an unknown. He advanced
on her trying to get her off of the man but it was to no avail. She
hold was deadly strong and he ended up being lashed for his
attempt. He was about to try once more but was stopped as he saw
her jump back apparently scared of something. "What did I do?"
she screeched as she looked at the body. There lying completely
mangled was the body of Seto Kaiba. She looked horrified as she
felt blood trickle down her chin and tried to get it off. Bakura took
her in his arms as she began to cry. He tried to console her but it
was to no avail. She had killed two humans that night and
memories of her acts would follow her for eternity. "Why did
I…?" she started but couldn't continue. "Shhh, it's okay. It
must've been the mixture of Pegasus' blood and mind. At least it
was only two humans." "Only two" she screeched at him, anger
returning full force. "I'm a murderer and worse than that I'm
like you" Bakura felt hurt by her words but suppressed them as he
saw her tears. She wasn't used to this kind of life but he'd make
sure she got used to it and soon.
Bakura brought her back to their home and opened the door for
her. He called Marik down and asked him to bring her a blanket.
He started a fire for her as he turned on the television (A/N: Yes,
people they are modern vampires when they need to be). But as he
went to pull her to him, she went and sat with Marik. Both men
were stunned but she was just probably upset with Bakura for
some reason or another. The news came on and they watched as the
reporter brought about the latest new:
"It had been confirmed that the body of 21 year old, business
tycoon Seto Kaiba was found moments ago by his girlfriend
Margaret Valentine. Mr. Kaiba being the last heir to the
corporation has left a dubious future for the company seeing as he
had no living relatives. His younger brother Mokuba Kaiba died
last year in a drowning accident. Therefore there is only
speculation as to what actions will be taken. His girlfriend had to
be given heavy tranquilizers after seeing the states in which the
body was. It is still early to state whether or not this involves the
murders that have been taken place in Domino for the last month.
One in particular that of Yami Mutou, reigning king of games.
We'll bring you the latest update on this story as soon as it's made
available."
Bakura turned off the TV not wanting to upset Anzu even more
but slammed the remote into the TV when he saw Anzu huddled
up close into Marik's chest and him touching her hair softly. The
TV exploded and he cursed loudly as he made his way upstairs.
Marik was startled but kept comforting Anzu hoping that he still
had a few more days to live. No one crossed Bakura and lived. He
had given up on her loving him but he wouldn't pass up the
chance to be close to her. Anzu cried herself to sleep that night in
Marik's arms. She wanted nothing to with being a vampire and
killing innocent humans. Why did she have to remember who she
was as she attacked Kaiba? And why did she feel as though
something bad was going to happen?
Misery: So like it? Tell me but remember no flames. I hope it was
long enough seeing as I wrote 2,171 words in this chapter. It's my
longest chapter ever in this story. Plushies for all who review. I
know I made some trouble at the end but I have to keep things
interesting. I killed two characters in this chapter, Kaiba and
Mokuba although he died a while ago. I hope it wasn't too bad and
that you all like it. I just had to torture the characters and I hope
no Mai fans flame me because I had to give Anzu a rival here but
I can change a few things if you want. It's all up to you… See ya
soon I hope…
