Show Me How It Ends

-Stage Nineteen: Infiltration-

A muffled ringing sounded from the pocket of a black trench coat lying forgotten on the floor. Seto cracked open a bleary eye and groaned softly. The vampire gently released Jou from his grasp and let the blonde's head fall from his chest to the pillow. He took a moment to gaze at the one in front of him. Smiling, he ran a hand slowly through his love's silky golden locks.

'So beautiful…So perfect…So-'

The ringing started again, jarring Seto from his thoughts. It took him a moment to realize that it was his phone.

"Damn it all…"

The brunet crawled out of the bed as quickly as he could without waking Jou. The blonde shifted slightly, but didn't wake. Seto, still stark naked, bent over his coat and rummaged around in the pockets in search of the offending object. He finally grasped the phone and pulled it out, scowling indignantly. Flipping open the cover, Seto answered with a quiet but vicious 'What?'

-Seto?-

The brunet paused for a moment.

"Mokuba?"

-Finally I get a hold of you! What happened? Are you okay? Where are you?-

Seto smiled softly, leave it to his brother to worry.

"Mokuba, I'm fine. I'm with Jou right now."

A loud gasp filtered through the receiver. –So he knows?-

"Yes Mokuba, he knows."

-Oh…okay. What happened in the limo yesterday? You wigged out, the driver thought you fell out of the car or something.-

Seto sighed. "I was hungry."

An uncomfortable silence followed the statement.

-…oh…well, that's…understandable I guess. Ummm…I have some stuff to do so I'll get right to the point. One, we're staying at the Hilton, top floor Suite 918. Two, some guy named Matthew called looking for-

"Who?"

-A guy named Matthew. He said it was urgent and he really needed to meet with you. Something about a hierarchy. I didn't really understand half the stuff he was saying. Do you know him?-

"Yeah, a bit." Seto said, scowling.

-Well, I gave him your number so he could get a hold of you.-

Seto resisted the urge to scream. "Mokuba, if he calls again…DON'T tell him where I am. Under ANY circumstances, okay?"

-…sorry big brother.-

"It's okay, just don't worry about it. Love you."

-Love you too Seto, bye.-

Seto flipped shut the phone and walked back to the bed, grabbing his scattered clothing from the floor. He sat down on the sheets and pulled his pants on. The brunet held up his shirt and stared at it for a moment. His glare would have burned holes through it, if there was any shirt left to glare holes in. Seto threw it to the side and reached for his coat, the back of which almost as nonexistent as his shirt. Smiling, he noticed that his wings fit through the gaps in the cloth. "That feels better…" A soft sigh came from behind Seto. The brunet turned around to gaze at Jou for a moment. 'I still cannot believe he loves me…'

Seto, now as dressed as he was going to get, walked towards the glass doors that led out to the balcony. He paused for a second, reaching up to pinch the bridge of his nose. The brunet turned back and looked around. His eyes landed on a desk near the door. He moved towards it and reached for a stray notebook lying haphazardly near the corner. Tearing out a page, he scrawled a note to Katsuya. Which he folded neatly and placed on the nightstand beside the blonde. Once again, Seto moved to the doors, sliding them open and walking out. He leaned against the railing, contemplating what he was going to do next.

"Do you have any idea how lucky you are that dad had to go in last night?"

Seto froze and turned his head towards the brunette nibbling on a pop tart and standing on the adjacent deck beside him.

"What? No fainting this time?"

Shizuka blushed lightly before chucking the rest of her pop tart at Seto.

"Shut up! You just freaked me out that's all!"

The CEO smirked.

"Not afraid of me anymore?"

"I never was." She replied confidently.

Seto flashed his fangs in a toothy smile.

"Boo."

The girl let out a strangled 'eep' and backed up quickly.

"Jumpy much?"

Shizuka regained her composure and growled at him.

"If I had another pop tart, I would freeze it and throw it at you."

Seto brought a hand to cover his heart.

"So much evil in such a small girl! Please I'll do anything! Just don't hurt me!"

She laughed lightly and Seto smiled.

"Do you believe that I'm real now?"

Shizuka became quiet for a moment, thinking the question over. She took a deep breath.

"A hallucination can't make Katsuya scream like that." She said quietly, her cheeks turning a rosy pink.

Seto's face soon matched Shizuka's. Both were silent for a few minutes, staring out at the burgeoning sunrise.

"If you hurt him…I'll put you in your grave for real this time. You have no idea what he's been through since…you know…"

Seto was taken aback at the seriousness of her tone.

"I didn't come here to break him."

"And to think, we all thought he was insane when he said you were still alive."

"That isn't entirely true."

"What, the insanity thing?"

"No, the alive thing."

"Okay, before you go into that, what are you?"

Seto cocked an eyebrow. "You're really straightforward. You know that?"

"Katsuya say's it's one of my more annoying qualities."

"Well he's right."

"…meanie…" Shizuka mumbled.

"I'm a vampire."

She stared at him for a moment.

"Riiiiight."

Seto was dumbstruck.

"Hello? Came back from the dead?" He pointed at his face. "Fangs?"

"Oh yeah!"

"My god…"

"Soooo…how'd it happen?"

"What?"

"How did you become all scary and stuff?"

"Long story short, I died, this vampire Matthew turned me. I ran away, came here and am now talking to you."

"I have to say Seto, I'm seeing a whole new side of you, and it's really creeping me out."

"You are a brat"

"Am I?"

"Yeah, you're even worse than Mokuba."

Seto started laughing and Shizuka joined in. Both of them were still laughing as Seto's phone rang. The brunet, smiling, answered it.

"Hello?"

-Miss me?-


Review!...please?
