Mailong Asakura tightly wrapped her scarf around her neck as the autumn wind picked up, stirring the leaves around her feet, that seemed to twirl and dance around her. She shivered and continued walking home, her feet crunching leaves at every step she took. She decided to take a short cut to her home and cut through the city's park. She wanted to get home and relax after working all day.
Unaware to her, that icy cobalt eyes were watching her slowly, a smirk on his pale lips, as he licked it. Cobalt eyes flashed crimson suddenly and Mailong sensed something was amiss. She turned around, only to see nothing, except a few reddish orange leaves fall off the tree. She carefully approached the tree, sensing there was something just behind it—as if someone was drawing her there. She slowly made it nearer to the tree as some unnaturally chilly wind picked up, causing the scarf around her neck to unravel and float away into the night. She quickly went after it, trying desperately to catch it.
Her finger's brushed against the scarf's cotton material, but yet she was not able to grab it. Suddenly, as if the scarf had been controlled somehow, flew to a strange tall man wearing a fitted black muscle shirt under the gratifying black trench coat that bellowed out behind him. He seemed to appear out of nowhere in the middle of the park. He grabbed the scarf, slowly. She watched him carefully, her voice caught in her throat. He was magnificently beautiful—tall broad shoulders and a slim muscular frame was visible. High cheek bones, chestnut brown hair, icy cobalt eyes, and pale skin.
She stood there frozen, entranced by him, however she managed to slowly open her mouth to speak, "T-Thank you…now may I p-please have it b-back?"
The figure in black said nothing and looked from the woman to the scarf and back. No emotional expressional was visible on his pale face. He closed his eyes and tilted his head up—the moonlight shined on his skin, creating a glowing aura that seemed to radiate off him. She heard him chuckle and she gulped. She was frightened, she knew of the deaths that had been happening every night in Domino City. She however, hoped that he was not the killer. She tried to turn around and go home, but her feet refused to move—as if she was frozen. Her fearful violet eyes looked up at him once more, only to seem him gone and her indigo scarf on the floor fluttering towards her. Her neck hair's stood on end as she slowly turned around, half afraid and half curious. She should have not turned around.
There he stood right behind her, breathing down her neck. She gasped and gulped, as he grabbed a few locks of her ebony hair twirling it in between his fingers. Her eyes widened in fear as tried to yelp out in fear, but her voice was caught in her throat. He closed his eyes, taking in the scent of her hair and reopened them to reveal crimson orbs glowing. She panicked and tried to run, but could not—she felt like she was hypnotized, transfixed by those glowing crimson orbs. He bared his long pearly fangs and she silently screamed, as he gruesomely pierced them into her neck.
Crimson liquid dripped down onto the park's pavement as Mailong desperately tried to free herself. She weakly struggled, but he just seemed to find this more amusing. He tightened his grip, pulling on her hair allowing her neck for his easy access as he fed off her. His fangs drew deeper and deeper through her flesh, tearing through the layer of muscle. She tried to scream, but could barely utter a syllable.
She whimpered out in fear as her mouth gaped open, but nothing was heard. Her body went weak and she felt her knees buckling. He grabbed her around the waist in order for her not to collapse and continued feasting. Blood began pouring down her neck faster, his claws dug into her abdomen, and then suddenly he fiercely pulled away. Her body fell to the floor with a silent thud. Her eyes were hollow of any life—she was dead. He looked at the corpse of his victim, cocking his head to the side. As a sick, twisted smile graced his blood stained lips. He chuckled evilly, wiping her blood off from them with the back of his hand.
He suddenly stopped laughing narrowing his eyes, which had returned back to an icy cobalt, and his lip curled upwards, "Did you enjoy the show, Bakura?" he hissed angrily.
A man with silvery-white hair appeared suddenly in front of him with his hands in his pockets, chuckling as he circled the corpse of the woman and the vampire who had killed her. The man smirked widely, revealing long pearly fangs that glistened under the moonlight. He was no human—but a vampire as well. He clapped his hands mockingly, "That was such a beautiful show," he chuckled louder, "I, of course, would have had much more fun with her. She was such a beautiful girl, no?" he asked as he examined the woman. The vampire with chestnut brown hair narrowed his eyes into slits, "Bakura…" he hissed warningly.
"Yes, Seth?" Bakura asked tilting his head, stopping behind him. He suddenly appeared against a tree trunk grasped around the neck. The hand around his neck belonged to Seth, as he tightened the grip around Bakura's neck, burying his claws into the other vampire's flesh. Bakura laughed at this, "My, my, my…such temper. Now you wouldn't kill me would you? Think about what Lord Pegasus might do… (1)"
Seth snarled and let him go, but not before slamming him once more against the tree ferociously, and turned around, leaving. Bakura smirked knowingly. He knew Seth could have killed him, but then again he had to deal with Pegasus afterwards—Seth was no match against Pegasus, he after all was the in charge of the vampires in Domino City—the Vampire King. Seth was merely just a lackey, a pawn in Pegasus's game, and that angered him dearly. He wanted to be the one on top, the one in charge, and Pegasus knew that, but he still kept Seth around. However, he put Bakura in charge of keeping an eye on him, just in case. Seth knew this and he could not do anything about it. He wanted to kill the bastard, but if he did, surely Pegasus would kill him.
"Where are you going, boy?" Bakura asked rubbing his neck, as he scowled. The claw marks magically on it healed on their own accord. Seth said nothing and continued walking, but let out a sigh of relief as he felt Bakura teleport away and leave him alone. Damn it, he was always watched over like a hawk and he wanted to be left alone, especially since Mokuba had died (2). He clenched his fist, remembering as he had watched his brother slaughtered before his eyes. That bastard, Pegasus, had been the one who done it, after his little brother spoke out on against him. Seth could not do anything, but watch. He swore that he would avenge his little brother's death. And that would come true—he will kill Pegasus, even if he died in the process as well. Vengeance would be his. He closed his eyes once more as the autumn wind picked up and just as he had appeared out of nowhere, he disappeared as well.

Shizuka Kawaii suddenly sprang up from bed. Sweat trickled down her face and her honey-brown eyes were wide in fear. She scrambled up from bed and headed to the bathroom to soak her face. What a horrible nightmare she had…
Crimson orbs glowed ferociously as she backed away in fear… (3)
She walked across the shaggy cream-colored carpeting of her brother's apartment, in which she now lived in as well. She suddenly heard a loud bang and jumped up. She headed carefully towards the noise…
She whimpered in fear, as her back finally met a wall. She was trapped and the crimson eyed beast closed in on her…
She finally reached the room in which the noise had come from. She sighed in relief, as she saw her brother sprawled on the couch, sleeping, with the television remote in one hand—the noise had come from the television…
She gasped as the creature wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her towards him. She tried in vain to struggle away, but found herself transfixed by those eyes…
Shizuka smiled, as she grabbed the control out of her brother's hand and shut the television off. She covered him with a blanket and kissed his forehead softly, then carefully dimmed the living room's light…
The creature's eyes continued to glow redder and redder as each second ticked by and he bared his white fangs to her. She silently screamed, terrified…
Shizuka finally made it to the bathroom and opened the sink, splashing her face with cool water. The nightmare was still in her head—it has felt so real. She could still feel the chill of his breathe against her skin…
He grasped her closer and toyed with her auburn hair, taking in her scent and she heard a groan escape his lips. And then, he slowly lowered himself to her neck his mouth still gaped open, his fangs glistening against the moonlight…
She checked her reflection on the medicine cabinet. She brushed her auburn hair from her eyes—her eyes were still dilated. The nightmare has shaken her quite dearly…
She felt his breathe against her skin and her heart felt as though it would rip out of her chest as it pounded wildly. What did he want with her? What was he?
She splashed her face once more and wiped it with a towel. Then she walked out of the bathroom and back to her room…
He pierced his fangs through her neck and she screamed silently. She felt herself slowly blacking out, as he drew deeper and deeper. Blood flowed down her neck and down his chin. She grasped him for support and felt him smirk…
She crawled into bed, wrapping her blanket around her small figure. Trying desperately to fall back to sleep…
He whispered softly, yet eerily into her ear, "You are mine…" as the night blocked her silent screams and the darkness swallowed her completely.
Shizuka turned in bed, slowly drifting back into bed. She forced herself to block out the nightmare and the creatures eerie words. Slowly, she felt herself fall back to sleep…
"You are mine…Shizuka dearest…"
Her eyes flashed open and clutched her blanket around her. She convinced herself it was nothing more than her imagination—but was it really? She tightly shut her eyes and hours later, she was back asleep and the rest of the night was silent.

Info:
(1) – Yes, Pegasus is in the fic and he is the all time leader of all vampires, thus he is the strongest. For now…
(2) – Yes, Mokuba is dead in the fic. He was killed by Pegasus, because he had talked back to him and refused to do what he was ordered. He had been killed while Seth had watched. Seth has sworn to kill Pegasus for his little brother's vengeance.
(3) – The Bold/Italic part was the nightmare Shizuka had, except for the last Bold/Italic, which was why she had been freaked out. The nightmare is predicting something that may happen in the near future.
Author's Comments: So Seth isn't the biggest and most powerful vampire around now is he? No, Pegasus is…for now. Well the next chapter will hopefully be coming soon: Seth and Shizuka meet for the first time. BTW the lyrics, I do not own.
