Chapter 1: Someone within the Shadows

Ryou was walking home from school one Friday afternoon; he had to stay

after school to finish up some school work he needed to do. It was

beginning to become darker and a bit colder as well; he needed to get

back home as soon as possible. Sometimes it was dangerous to be

walking out in the darkness of Domino City. Unknown to Ryou; someone

in the shadows had been watching him for some time. This someone was

a vampire who resembled Ryou quite a bit except that his hair was more

wild and his eyes were sharper; this someone was Bakura. Bakura

watched from a tree nearby and licked his lips hungrily. Ryou suddenly

had chills, something wasn't right. "I feel like someone's watching me."

Ryou glanced to his left, right, in all directions then he dismissed the

ominous feeling as just his imagination. As he walked, the streetlights

began to flicker. "Stupid lights they always do that every time I come

by here." Ryou hoped the lights wouldn't go out or anything, it was

bad enough that he was feeling paranoid (so he thought), he didn't

need the lights to start flickering too. Suddenly there was a rustle of the

leaves on the branches of the tree nearby. Ryou glanced quickly towards

where the sound came from. He stared at the tree for a minute and then

kept on walking. Suddenly, all the street lamps in the area in which Ryou

stood went out. Ryou then he thought he saw a shadow or something

rather, move by quickly. Ryou started to get nervous, his heartbeat

increasing just a bit. Without a second thought, he broke into a run;

however, he looked back to make sure nothing was following him.

Ryou ran once in a while looking back, he passed five houses before

bumping into something. He looked up and there stood a tall pale,

young man who Ryou realized strikingly looked like him! He was

wearing a tight, black, muscle shirt and rather low black jeans.

Over the shirt he wore a black trench coat, which was open

of course. The man just stared down at Ryou. "Oh! I'm sorry I

ran into you like that, I'm just in a hurry," Ryou apologized

quickly. "Actually, I'm glad you ran into me," said the stranger

in an amused tone. His cold voice made Ryou mentally shudder. The

rational part of his brain was screaming to get the hell put of there, but

instead, his feet stayed planted on the ground in shock. His chocolate

brown eyes widened in fear. Bakura looked down at the fear stricken

boy clothed within his high school uniform. "Delicious" was the

vampire's only thought. Bakura grinned, his vampire fangs revealing.

Ryou snapped out of his shock, but just as he was about to run, the

vampire caught him by the shoulders.

Ryou's P.O.V

I didn't know what to do; just as I was about to run, I was caught by the

shoulders. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my neck; I shut my eyes and

fought to keep from crying out. I could feel something wet lapping at my

neck, I realized it must've been his tongue. 'You can't move boy, if you

do, you'll just risk having your throat torn open while I feed from you.'

I heard his voice in my head, warning me not to be stupid enough to

move. I gulped and stood very still. 'Don't worry, you'll feel relaxed in

a moment' the vampire said speaking once more to me through my

thoughts. Suddenly, a wave of calmness hit me; I felt relieved, distant; I

could still feel him feeding from me, but for some reason I didn't seem to

mind. "What's wrong with me, here I am having my blood sucked from

me and I don't care!" I heard him in my mind once more; he chuckled

mentally and then I heard him say, 'What's wrong? You feel blissfully

calm don't you, I can make victims feel this as I feed upon them so they

die in a seemingly blissful way.' My eyes widened upon hearing this.

'Don't worry little Ryou, I have no intention of killing you, I'm just

hungry' Suddenly, I felt normal again and the vampire let go of my neck

and stepped away from me. He smirked at me with a look of amusement

on his face.

Normal P.O.V.

Ryou felt uneasy at the way Bakura looked at him. Bakura suddenly

pushed Ryou up against the wall and began kissing him down his neck

softly. Ryou let out a hardly audible, but ecstatic moan; he himself was

surprised upon doing this, he thought, "What the heck!" "Hmm, he

seems to be aroused quite easily," the vampire thought. Bakura

looked down at the youth, whom right now was blushing a bit. Ryou

blinked and in a flash, he was gone. "What just happened!"

Ryou breathed a sigh of relief and quickly began to walk towards his

apartment.

Ryou stepped inside into his apartment and flicked on his light switch,

then he closed and locked his door, walked over to the couch, and

plopped his book bag down. He went to the bathroom and took a nice hot

shower; he came out dressed in a pair of blue, light blue, and grey

plaid pajamas. He went to the kitchen and had a bowl of ramen while

watching some TV. Then afterwards, he watched some TV. and then after

shutting it off at around 9:30p.m. he went to brush his teeth and then

headed towards his room. He sat up, tucked in his bed comfortably and

started reading a book. Suddenly something flew by his window, and

Ryou looked up from his reading and saw nothing. He arched one

eyebrow quizzically and got out of bed and walked towards the window.

Ryou opened the window and looked out of it. He saw nothing but pitch

black darkness outside. "Hmm? Oh, well," he said. He closed the window

again and locked it just to be safe and went back to tuck himself in and

continued reading. He read for a few minutes when suddenly he felt a

cold chill up his spine, all over. He shook it off and he then felt the hairs

on the back of his neck raise. He then looked up and his eyes widened at

what he saw. He was face to face with…
