Chapter 8: Pain of the mind and heart

The next morning, Bakura woke up groggy. He had a restless sleep for the first time in either of his lives. Rubbing his eyes, he flipped down to the ground and stretched his wings. "Ugh…what's the matter with me?"

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Still rubbing his right eye, Bakura barked for the person to enter. The most recent member of Malik's group, Valon, entered, trying to not hit his wings. The albino vampire rolled his eyes. "What do you want?"

Valon closed the door. "Before I answer that, I have to ask you this. How did you get used to these wings?"

Bakura rolled his eyes again as he stretched his wings out again. "Just keep them close to your body when you walk around. Now what the hell do you want?"

Valon smirked. "I just saw that little cutie you brought here. You have great taste."

Growling, Bakura grabbed Valon by the neck and positioned a dagger at his throat. "Touch her…and I'll kill you."

Being arrogant, Valon raised his eyebrow. "Oh really? I'm pretty sure that you won't kill me."

Bakura pushed Valon to the wall and pushed his dagger into the cocky vampire's throat. He didn't press it hard enough to break the skin but it was still hard enough to get the message across. "Want to bet?"

Valon smirked. "Nice try. I know that you'll be punished if you kill me. Our master told me that he will give anyone who kills their comrade his most dangerous punishment, whatever it is."

Bakura knew he was right. He then walked to his bed and stabbed it with his dagger. "You don't want to know what the punishment. I've seen it once and that was enough for me."

Valon slightly nodded. "I figured it was bad. But what's your position on the human chick? I thought you hated women."

"I do hate women!"

"Then why are you acting all defensive and protective of her?"

Bakura looked away and snapped, "Get out!"

Valon smirked evilly. As he started to leave, he said, "Enjoy the torture you're given yourself."

After the door was closed, Bakura hurled his dagger at it. Breathing heavily, he asked, "What the hell was he talking about?"

Anzu woke up to find herself in a prison cell. Rubbing the back of her head, she sat up and wondered, "What's going on? Where am I?"

Hearing someone coming down the hall, she went to the bars and looked to see who it was. It was a pale Chinese girl with small bat wings on her back. She stopped and looked Anzu over. "So…you're the new girl that Master wants."

Anzu raised her eyebrow. "What are you talking about? Who are you? And why do you have bat wings on your back?"

The Chinese girl rolled her eyes. "One question at a time."

"All right. Who are you?"

"I have a few names around here. But when I was human, I went by the name of Vivian."

Anzu was even more confused. "What are you talking about? You are a human."

Vivian smirked evilly. "I suppose no one told you the whole deal."

"No. I just woke up. Where am I?"

"You're at my Master's hideout. Bakura brought you here."

Anzu's eyes brightened when she heard Bakura's name. "Bakura? He's here? Can I see him?"

Vivian sniggered. "You want to see the vampire who brought you here?"

Anzu froze. "Bakura…a vampire? That's impossible…"

Vivian grinned evilly and was about to say something when an arm wrapped itself around her neck from behind. Malik hissed, "Now, now, Vivian…you shouldn't tell our guest too much at once."

Vivian slightly scowled. "What expect me to do when I meet the girl who's going to replace me?"

Malik chuckled and licked Vivian's cheek, making her sigh in enjoyment, and said, "You misunderstand. I'm going to have both of you. I'm not getting rid of either of you."

Vivian grinned but Anzu snapped, "You are not going to have me! If someone would let me choose, I would choose to be with Bakura!"

Letting Vivian go, Malik went to the bars and grabbed Anzu's chin. "Oh really? Do you honestly think that my eldest follower would want to be with you? A vampire would never even consider being with a mortal human. So what makes you think that Bakura will be with you?"

Anzu glared and hissed, "That's a lie! Bakura is not a vampire like you two!"

"Oh, yes I am," sounded a familiar voice. Anzu's eyes slightly widened in excitement and pure stun. With his cape on to hide his wings, Bakura came into view and looked at Anzu. She looked at him and whimpered, "Bakura…are you really…a…a…?"

Bakura finished for her, "A vampire?" Anzu nodded and Bakura nodded as well. "Yes. I've been a vampire for the past five years. My loyalties lie with my master alone."

Anzu's eyes started to water. "That's impossible…"

Malik let Anzu go and removed Bakura's cape. The albino's wings stretched out. Anzu sunk down to the ground. "No…no…"

Bakura slightly looked away. Malik smiled evilly. "Hate to break it to you…no, that's not true. It gives me great pleasure to tell you that the one you've become obsessed with is an agent of darkness. Just think about that while my servants get your outfit ready."

Malik and Bakura started to leave when Anzu reached out and grabbed Bakura's ankle. He looked at her and shook his foot to get her to let go him. But she stubbornly held onto his ankle. "Please…talk to me."

Bakura rolled his eyes and was about to continue to leave when Malik grabbed his shoulder and pushed her to the ground. "Bakura…don't be rude. Our guest has asked you to talk to her."

Bakura groaned but nodded. Vivian then proceeded to unlock the cell. After Bakura got in, she closed the door, tossed Bakura the key, and left with Malik. Rolling his eyes, Bakura looked down at Anzu and asked, "What do you want?"

Looking at his wings, Anzu asked, "Bakura…why didn't you tell me?"

Bakura laughed. "What, tell you that I'm a vampire? You would have called me crazy and my leader would have killed me for not getting you for him!"

Anzu reacted. "Get me for him?"

Bakura sat down and laid down. "Of course! That's the only reason why I was so kind to you! I told you before, I hate women!"

Anzu took in a shaky breath as she laid down. She held her head over his and whispered, "So…you didn't mean what you said…the night we met?"

Bakura started to say something when he noticed that a tear was falling from her right eye. His glare softened and he used his right hand to wipe away the tear. When Anzu opened her eyes, he swallowed hard. "Well…I suppose…some of those words had meaning behind them."

Anzu slightly smiled. "I can take that."

Bakura then asked, "So do you hate me…or fear me…because of what I am?"

Anzu shook her head and whispered, "I could never hate you…"

Bakura would have blushed if he was alive. He quickly got up, left the cell, and locked the door. Anzu followed him to the bars and asked, "When can I see you again?"

Bakura looked at her and just left. Anzu looked after him and sighed.

Valon watched Bakura rush out of the prison and smirked. "Well, well, well…I was right. I wonder what Malik will say when he learns this."

"He already knows," sounded Malik's voice on the ceiling. Valon looked up to find Malik standing on the ceiling. The evil vampire lord smirked. "So…my eldest follower is falling for a useless mortal female."

Valon shrugged. "That's what you expect when someone weak like him is exposed to a female."

Malik nodded. "That's true. We'll have to keep our eyes on Bakura to see if he'll do something foolish. In the meantime, I'll have my fun with the human called Anzu." Valon smirked evilly.
