Sunlight poured into the small bedroom, on the fourth floor of the gray apartment. Shizuka stirred slightly and winced as the sunlight flared into her eyes. She groaned groggily and buried her face into her pillow, trying to block out the light. She did not get much sleep last night, quite frankly because she kept falling into a nightmarish slumber and woke up each time. So, this resulted in her being tired and drowsy, and desperately wanting to sleep some more—that would be impossible now, since the door flew open and Jounouchi stepped in.
"O hayou gozaimasu (1), Shiz!" he exclaimed cheerily. Shizuka mumbled incoherently and buried her face more deeply into her pillow. Jounouchi perked an eyebrow at his sister's unusual reaction. Normally, she would welcome him with a greeting as well and get up instantly. He wondered what could possibly be wrong with her. He slowly walked over to her bed, and sat down on the edge, "Somethin' the matter, Shiz?" he asked, poking her arm.
"No," she muffled, as she dug her face deeper into her pillow—where this was going it looked like she was going to suffocate herself. Jounouchi grabbed her pillow and tugged it out of her grip. Shizuka instantly threw her covers over face, acting like an ignorant child. Jounouchi frowned in response, "You sure everythin's fine?" he asked again.
Shizuka sighed and poked her head out slightly, "Yes onni-chan (2), I'm sure. I'll be up in a few," she said half smiling. "Good! I'm starvin'!" he exclaimed, as his stomach growled in response. He blushed in embarrassment, as he grinned sheepishly. Shizuka laughed slightly, her brother and that bottomless pit—his stomach.
"I'll wait for ya' in the kitchen!" Jounouchi announced, as he walked out of Shizuka's room. She sighed, as she rolled onto her back staring up at her white ceiling. She wondered absentmindedly why she kept having that nightmare over and over again, in one night. Was it perhaps an omen of something coming up in the future? She thought for a moment as she eyed the ceiling fan—nah, it couldn't be possibly true…could it? She shook her head and shrugged it off, claiming to herself over and over again, that it was nothing. She sat up and stretched. She looked to her right, to see what time it was on the clock that was on her nightstand.
She groaned when she saw that it was almost ten in the morning. She needed to get ready quickly—along with cooking breakfast for her brother—and catch the train to school. She currently was attending Tokyo Star University, one of the top colleges in Japan. Domino City was far from Tokyo, and so she had to wake up very early, although her class did not start until one o'clock—she needed to catch the train and take the long ride there. She hopped out of bed and walked over to her closet to change.

Long platinum hair shimmered before the candlelight that lighted the damp, dark room. A man was crouched over in his chair fiddling through books, searching for a certain something. He growled with frustration, as he slammed the book shut. He closed his golden eyes and rubbed his head as he absentmindedly fiddled with the chain around his neck. Still no luck in finding what he was looking for, he opened his eyes as he removed his chain from around his neck. He eyed the glimmering ruby gem in his hand—all this search and still no luck. He needed to figure out how to unlock the true power of this gem—the Ketsurui (3).
He narrowed his eyes as he felt a change in the room, he sighed though when he knew who it was. "Bakura, why are you in here?" he asked coolly, not even bothering to turn his head around.
Bakura slowly walked over towards him, and bowed curtly. "Many pardons, my Lord," he bowed once more, receiving a suspicious glance from Pegasus, "But where should we try tonight?"
Pegasus slowly got up walking towards the bookcases that lined the walls. "Look for the book again at the museum. It has to be there…" he stated, as he trailed his fingers against the leather bound books. Bakura listened absentmindedly as he stared at the chain that lay on top of the table.
Don't even think about it…
Bakura's eyes widened and he gulped. He forgot for a moment that Pegasus could read minds, "I wasn't," Bakura lied. Pegasus growled in response, causing Bakura to bow and say nothing further more—nor think either. Pegasus walked back over towards the desk and snatched the chain, putting it back around his neck. He noticed Bakura was still in his chambers, "Leave now."
"Yes, my lord," Bakura said, bowing once more, as he disappeared suddenly. Pegasus narrowed his eyes, as he rubbed the area between his brows. He couldn't believe how he still has not found that damn book and he had been searching for it for almost two centuries now. The book held what he was looking for—it held all the information for the gem, which was around his neck. He needed to unlock the powers of this ruby and to do so, he required that book. Although, he did not quite know how it looked like, he knew that it existed.
"When I find you. The world will be mine," he whispered slightly, as he clutched the gem in his hand. The candles extinguished, as he disappeared.

Shizuka sighed, as she ran a hand through her auburn hair. Damn it, what was taking that train so damn long? She needed to get home! She grumbled bitterly, adjusting the books in her hand. She heard her train screech, as it slow came to a halt. Finally!
"Sumimasen (4)," she said, as she pushed threw the mob of people. She finally reached the train, boarding it, only to be greeted with the foul stench of alcohol. She scrunched her nose in disgust, as she turned her head slightly, only to be greeted with crooked yellow teeth, belonging to some middle aged man.
"Hello, pretty lady," the man grinned. Shizuka screamed inwardly, "Uh, h-hi. I got to go," Shizuka stated, moving away from the man, as she moved to the back of the train. The man did not follow, but watched her silently. Shizuka shivered. She hated taking the train to school, she wished she could take her brother's car, but he needed it to get to work. Her brother's girlfriend, Mai, had given her a bottle of pepper spray as a safety precaution, but sadly enough, she hadn't taken her purse with her today. Oh, the fool she was forgetting it!
Shizuka sat down at the far corner in the back, looking at that man from the corner of her eye, every now and then. She must not be so paranoid, he couldn't do anything to her even if he wanted, since she was in public—but then again it was night time. Anything could happen at night, like the murders that had been happening each night. She gulped and pulled her jacket tighter around her. Oh great, now she managed to scare herself more—just great.

Cold azure eyes watched the late night train move across the tracks. How technology had emerged, it was quite fascinating. He closed his eyes. So much had changed these thousands of years, but humans had not. They were still idiots and nothing more than a meal—as so, it seemed to him.
The wind began to pick up about the city, as autumn leaves stirred and rustled down walkways and roads. It was a cold autumn night, signaling that winter was just around the corner and would be here soon.
He sneered; looking down upon the train, as it screeched to a halt and the passengers aboard started to emerge. He smirked coldly, as he spotted an auburn haired woman shakily exit. His smirk widened as he watched her, running his tongue along his fangs—dinner time.

Shizuka scurried to get away from this place and back to her warm and safe home. She hated traveling at night—wouldn't you be, if there were people being killed each night? As she was about to take a turn at the corner and hand clasped over her mouth, muffling out her scream.
She tugged on the hand trying to pull it away, dropping the books in process. Another hand grasped her lower stomach, pulling her back against the culprit. She could smell the stench of alcohol present. Her eyes widened in fear.
"Where are you going pretty?" the man said, causing her to scrunch up her nose in disgust. It was the same man that was on the train! She knew he was up to no good, oh why did she forget that pepper spray? He grinned, showing off his crooked yellow teeth. Shizuka whimpered, fearing for the worst.
"How's about a little fun?" he asked, grinning further. She panicked and shook her head in refusal, trying desperately to escape—she didn't want to be raped! He ignored her refusal and began to drag her off into an alleyway. Tears filled her eyes, causing her vision to become blurred. "No!" she yelled and suddenly bit down on his hand, tasting blood in the process. The man cried out in pain, as he stumbled back, "Bitch!" he screamed at her.
Shizuka didn't turn her head, as she ran for her dear life. He knees trembled, but she didn't care—she needed to get away! The man chased after her, "Run little girl! I'm going to get you!" he called after her. Shizuka screamed and ran as quick as her legs could carry her. Her knees felt weak from fear, as they trembled causing her to stumble a bit. She cried out as she landed on her knees, causing her knee to bleed from impact, as a wound was clearly visible. She panicked; ignoring the pain as she tried to get up once more—all hopes of escape was lost, as she felt someone grab her hair, pulling on it. She cried out in pain, as she fell on her back from the force.
"Did you think you could run, little girl?" the man asked, forcing himself on top of her. Shizuka whimpered, closing her eyes, as she felt his hand slide along her outer thigh. Suddenly, she felt the weight on top of her, being lifted. She opened one of her eyes shakily, to see her harasser being held by his throat, by another man. Her eyes widened, as she viewed her rescuer. He was clad in black leather, the moonlight basked his facial features, causing him to glow.
Her rescuer grinned sadistically at the man he was holding, as he slammed him against the side of the building, causing some loose bricks to fall and shatter. Shizuka's eyes widened, as she noticed this. No human could do that—she was afraid. She sat up and began to crawl back away, but was pulled forward and onto her palms. Her so called, rescuer laughed, as in one quick motion, slashed open the other man's chest, sticking his hand inside (5). The victim screamed in pain, as the man twisted his hand inside the bloody mess.
Shizuka watched horrified, as her stomach twisted in disgust—the savage! Shizuka's rescuer bared his teeth, revealing fangs, as he pulled his hand out in one quick motion, pulling out something that appeared to be a heart. Shizuka felt her head feel light, as she paled, looking as if she was going to faint. The man dug his fangs into the heart, as his victims slid down the wall, leaving a trail of blood—he was dead. Blood trickled onto the blood, splattering blood everywhere.
Shizuka paled further, witnessing the gruesome scene. The man grinned as he clenched his hand around the heart and turned it into, nothing but ash, and flicked his hand causing the ashes to be blown away with the wind. He wiped the blood that was dripping from both corners of his mouth, with back of his hand, as he walked over to Shizuka.
Shizuka was too frozen in fear, to move. "No, thank you?" he asked smoothly, as he suddenly, by some force, pulled Shizuka to him. Shizuka screamed in horror—what was he going to do with her?
He grinned coldly, sliding his finger along her cheek softly, "Such soft skin," he purred seductively. Shizuka whimpered afraid, "P-Please let me go," she begged. He chuckled, "Now, why should I do that, hmm? Surely, there is a reward for rescuing such a pretty thing."
Shizuka gulped, "I-I don't have any money w-with me."
He laughed, "Who said anything about money?" he asked, licking her cheek. She shivered. The wind slowly started to pick up, causing her to shiver further—she wanted her onni-chan. If he was here, he would save her, right?
He chuckled, wrapping an arm around her waist. Shizuka whimpered, scared of what he might do to her. Suddenly he tensed up, as if he was afraid of something. "Hn, looks as if we won't be doing anything tonight, my dear," he whispered into her ear, licking her earlobe.
"But next time," his hand trailed up her stomach and up, reaching her neck. "You're mine," he nipped her ear, as he tore at the material along her neck, causing a rip in the neck of her turtleneck sweater. She felt something wet slide down her neck and feared that it was blood. The man lowered his head, down to her neck, lapping up the fluid. He groaned slightly, "Tasty," he simply purred.
Shizuka shuddered both in pleasure and disgust. He chuckled and pulled away, "I'll be watching you," he said, and with that disappeared. Shizuka's knees buckled and she fell to her knees—she was afraid.
Very afraid.

Info:
(1) – Translated means, "Good morning, Shiz!"
(2) – Translated means, "Big brother."
(3) – Ketsurui, is a gem that is thousands of years old. Translated it means "Tears of blood," because in fact it was created from the blood, used from the sacrifices, to make this wicked powerful gem. This gem is said to hold the power to world domination and much more, but in order for it to work, there is a secret. Therefore, Pegasus is trying to find this book, which had everything about this gem, and find out. So far, he is yet to find this book.
(4) – Translated means, "Excuse me."
(5) – Hey, I warned you this is going to be graphic. I'm very descriptive, when it comes to gore and violence. (Grins)
Author's Comments: (Coughs and blushes) Well, yes… (Fiddles with fingers) the ending was a bit…unsuitable for young readers, no? (Blushes further) Probably unsuitable for me as well, but I still wrote it. (Cackles) I'm fifteen by the way, so yeah, I'm guessing this is not for my age. :P Oh well, I'm still writing it and it's going to get much more graphic. O.o Well, next chapter I'm bringing in the others, also known as, the Yuugi gang, meh…
BTW, I was going to leave this chapter with a cliff, but I said nah, I shouldn't. :P
