Chapter 14: Kaiba's past and Bakura's punishment
Around the time Pegasus dropped Bakura off at Malik's hideaway, Anzu, dressed in a tight black dress, was sitting in Kaiba's study, reading an old book on vampire history. Even though she was reading, her mind was on Bakura's wellbeing at the moment. She sighed for the hundredth time and turned the page when Kaiba walked in with a bottle of wine and an empty glass in his hands. He noticed the book she was reading. "I see you discovered my secret book."
Anzu quickly closed the book. "I'm sorry. It was sitting out on your desk. Forgive me."
Kaiba shook his head as he took a few steps toward her. "It's all right. I just had it out in case Mokuba wanted to catch up on his studies."
"You're having Mokuba study about your kind?"
Kaiba slightly shrugged. "I think he should know about vampires if he wants to become one. I learned about their characteristics after Pegasus bit me. He's the one who gave me the book."
"Is that when you learned that vampires existed?"
Kaiba just shook his head as the empty glass shattered by his mind power. Letting the loss pieces of the glass fall, he took out another from under his desk and poured himself a drink. Watching his every move, Anzu asked, "Seto, can you please tell me how you found out about vampires?"
Kaiba sighed. "I saw Malik myself. He virtually destroyed my soul that night."
"What happened?"
Kaiba sat down and closed his eyes, thinking back to when he first saw Malik. As he talked, the scenes ran through his mind. "It all happed when I was 10 and Mokuba was 5. We were at a movie and then dinner with a group of friends. My birth parents let us go to celebrate for they trusted the couple we were with. I had just passed a test that said I was intelligent beyond my years and that, with the right help, could be in collage by age 12. We were out for most of the night. Mother was supposed to call me but she didn't. I was having too much fun, I didn't noticed.
"When we got back, I noticed that the house was eerily quiet. I made Mokuba go to bed and I went around to investigate. I found my Father at the door to his bedroom. His throat was slit. I then looked into the bedroom and…I can still remember the look on his face as he was biting my mother's neck. He looked up, saw me, and grinned so evilly that I couldn't move. He then put his finger to his lips and flew out of an open window.
"I finally unfroze and called the police to report a double homicide. When the police got there, Mother had no blood left in her body. I later learned that she was raped and had cuts all over her body. As Mokuba and I went to the orphanage, I made a promise that I would be the one to kill him for killing them. The rest, as they say, is history."
Anzu covered her mouth with her hand. "Oh, Kaiba…I'm so sorry."
Kaiba opened his eyes and slightly shrugged. Anzu then asked, "Does Mokuba know?"
Kaiba shrugged again. "No. I told the police what I saw and they didn't believe me. But I told them to make something up so that Mokuba wouldn't be scarred for life. He was told that a burglar murdered our parents because he didn't expect them to be home. I have yet to tell him."
"Will you?"
Kaiba shook his head. "No. He's been through enough. He doesn't need this on top of everything else."
Anzu agreed. She then grasped the book in her worry. "I hope Bakura's all right."
Kaiba growled. "He better be."

At that moment, Bakura was hiding from the two werewolves that were guarding the room where Kisara was. He had some trouble with some of the lower-level vampires but he finally passed them. Now he had to worry about the werewolves for he didn't even know that Malik had them.
He was about to attack when Valon came into view. The albino quickly hid and overheard what Valon was saying. "Good boys. Nice job."
One tried to bite him. Valon swatted it's snout in punishment. "Bad boy, Bandit Keith." He then turned to the other one and swatted it's snout as well. "I thought you would have taught him manners by now, Raphael."
Bakura was stunned by Valon naming them. Valon then dusted himself off and said, "Very good. You two can go to sleep."
The two werewolves lumbered off and Valon backed away. Taking the opportunity, Bakura slowly came out and started to head for the door. But just before he could reach for the door handle, a sword blade touched his shoulder and Valon's voice spoke up. "I knew you come back for this. You're too predictable."
Bakura growled and turned to face Valon, expecting him to be alone. To his dismay, Valon was accompanied by Rex, Weevil, and all of the other vampire followers. Bakura growled. "I see. Well, you won't be able to stop me from accomplishing my duty."
Valon smirked evilly. "Maybe not me…but my master will be able to."
Bakura heard Malik lower down behind him. Taking a deep breath, he turned and faced his master. The vampire lord growled, "So this is it. I've given you everything you've ever needed…and ever wanted. You thank me by betraying me. What do you have to say about that?"
Bakura growled, "You're not my master anymore. I have no master."
Malik growled furiously and punched Bakura in the stomach, knocking him out. Valon grabbed him and grinned evilly. "Nicely done, my lord."
Malik rubbed his hand. "Take him to the dungeons. For betraying me, he deserves nothing less than my deadliest punishment."
Valon couldn't take it anymore. "Forgive me, master, but what is your deadliest punishment?"
Rex and Weevil tuned in to listen to what Malik would say. Their master looked at them and grinned evilly. "My deadliest punishment is something that I invented myself."
Rex asked, "What is it?"
Malik moved some hair out of Bakura face and growled, "I remove their wings…instantly killing them."
All three of the followers' eyes grew wide. Malik saw that and hissed, "What are you idiots gawking at? Get him down to the dungeons!"
Valon, Rex, and Weevil quickly reacted and raced away, carrying Bakura with them. Malik then chuckled evilly as he took out a dagger and licked it.
