I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of the affiliated characters. I do own Starlyte and the Dhampiri Clans, Hatuhukra and Fulira.


Kaiba opened his eyes with a start. Something was wrong, terribly so. He could feel it, something was happening to Starlyte. Whatever it was, it was making the bite on his neck throb. The pain wasn't unpleasant, but it burned with the heat he'd only felt in her arms. There was something going on, something he couldn't identify.

He knelt down next to her; a thin trickle of blood was flowing from the corner of her lips, and the bite on her neck was bleeding freely, as if it had been reopened, and by another bite. Carefully he picked her up again. She wasn't going to leave his sight, not until she woke up.

He made it three steps before she opened her eyes. She blinked, silver meeting blue, then screamed.
