"Please I beg of you don't do this, I-"

"You're a monster, a filthy blood sucking monster!"

Voices rose in volume as two people stood in a dark room fighting, one trying to explain, and the other trying to escape. Trying to escape the reality, trying to escape the fate that had befallen their lover.

"No! Please you have to listen to me! I am not responsible for--"

"Get out! GET OUT!"

This wasn't like her, she never acted like this. She always let him speak when he felt he had something important to say, but now, it was like everything was different. And that's probably because it was.

"Please listen to me?!"

"Get away from me!"

Cold hands reached out to grasp the screaming girl, to try and shush her and give him a chance to explain but to no avail. Nails scratched and clawed at him, teeth sunk into his skin. The physical attacks themselves didn't hurt, but the emotional attacks did. She didn't want him anymore.

"Anzu please!"

"Don't you dare say my name, don't you dare touch me, you're nothing more then a vampire now, get away from me!"

"Anzu please you have to give me a chance, I'm still me, just-"

"Just dead!"

"Only partial, please"

Hands once more reached to grab the screeching girl, only for them to be quickly slapped away as if diseased or contaminated with some deadly virus.

Atemu watched in sadness as the women he fell in love with stormed away. He knew he could run after her, but it was no use. She didn't want him anymore; he was nothing more then a blood-sucking monster, unworthy, and undeserving of love.

(((00000000000)))

Crimson eyes fluttered open as Atemu stared at the ceiling of what he believed to be his bedroom. Since when did he get home? He didn't remember ever arriving at Seto's mansion. And why the hell did his head hurt so badly?

The last thing he remembered was…......

()()()()()()()()()()

Warm hands ran over a cool body, causing the man above the smaller male to groan and arch, welcoming the heated touch as he happily lapped and suckled the neck of the male underneath him, rocking his hips slowly with the rhythm they had created.

Mouths met and teeth clanked as they kissed passionately, both males shuddering and shivering at the feel of one another, loving the feel of the others body against their own, the feel of the others touch upon their skin.

Nails scraped and scratched, the owner of those nails not knowing how to handle the bombardment of pleasure they were receiving, but their partner didn't mind the pain at all, in fact the constant scrap of nails had the other panting in passion.

"Atemu… oh please Atemu…."

"I'm glad to see you're awake,"

Crimson eyes quickly shot over to the side of the bed, a cold body tensing before quickly relaxing once those deep eyes landed on the person sitting beside his bed.

"Seto…"

Giving what could only be Seto's version of a smile the older teen nodded, moving closer to the bedside to examine the young male laying upon it, his icy blue eyes running over as much of Atemu as he could see.

"You seem to be alright now, but that doesn't mean you won't start up again," Seto murmured, setting back in his chair, his arms and legs crossing as he stared at the teen looking back at him.

"What do you mean?" Atemu asked tiredly, about ready to sit up before a cold hand pressed against his bare chest, causing him to shiver slightly. It must be nearing morning for him to react in such a way to Seto's skin.

"Don't, just lay back and relax," Seto whispered, but Atemu could tell his cousin was serious, and he knew a command when he heard one. So grumbling slightly Atemu lay back down, sighing softly when his head hit the pillow.

"Marik and Bakura brought you in a few days ago and-"

"A few days!" Atemu cried, sitting up quickly before he groaned in agony and lay back down, his hands shooting up to cradle his now throbbing skull, trying to will the unforgiving pain away.

"I told you to lay down," Seto sighed, ignoring the glare Atemu gave him, or rather the glare Atemu tried to give him, before he continued. "You were unconscious when they brought you in, and your body was far to warm for a vampires so I brought you in here and did the best I could to cool you down, a vampire gaining heat from no source is a very bad thing,"

Atemu knew this; vampires could only gather heat from another living body, which was why vampires were so attracted towards humans and their heat. It wasn't just about feeding or the thrill of the chase, it also was about warmth and wanting some from of heat to warm their cold bodies and souls.

In Atemu's and Ryou's case being half blooded, the only time they gathered heat was when they were human themselves or they were feeding off a human.

"It wasn't anywhere near dawn, so it didn't make sense why you were over heating," Seto sighed, leaning forwards to watch his cousin, his arms and legs uncrossing as his hands folding in front of his mouth. The classic Seto pose.

"Did you find out what was wrong with me?" Atemu asked softly, turning crimson eyes to his only family as the pain in his skull began to subside.

"No, even now I don't understand what could have caused it," Seto sighed, shaking his head softly. Like Atemu he too hated to be confused, but unlike his cousin, he admitted when he was lost instead of stomping away and going to sulk about it. Which Atemu seemed to do often enough for the both of them.

Atemu nodded his head softly to show that he had heard his older cousin before the room went quiet, neither one of them speaking or knowing what to say. It wasn't an awkward silence, but it did leave Atemu uneasy. But then you would be too when not even the smartest man you knew could find what was wrong with you. If there was anything wrong at all.

"Why were you screaming?"

Atemu quickly looked to his left, staring as his cousin with wide crimson eyes as Seto stared back, waiting for his cousin to speak.

"Don't look at me that way, why were you screaming?"

"I don't-"

"You were screaming, while you were asleep, right before you woke up, I thought you were in pain at first but it sounded different, why were you screaming?" Seto asked again, leaning back once more in his chair, arms folding softly.

He was starting to get irritated with his cousin's clueless-ness. Atemu had dreamt something that had made him scream, Seto was not a stupid vampire; he had been around long enough to tell when Atemu was hiding something. Now was one of those moments.

"I wasn't-"

"You were screaming her name…"

Looking away Atemu sighed, closing his eyes away from the world. Maybe if he couldn't see it… it couldn't see him and his insecurities. Maybe it couldn't see him and his faults. Maybe it couldn't see his weakness.

"I had that dream… the one I always have… the one that's haunted me for so long…" Atemu whispered, knowing Seto could hear him. Seto could always hear him. Whether Atemu wanted him to or not.

Atemu didn't understand why he was feeling like this. He should have gotten over her a long time ago. But for some reason his dead heart couldn't. He couldn't stop thinking about her, and all the memories they shared. He couldn't stop hating himself for what had happened.

"Atemu it's-"

"I know… I know..."

"She tried to have you killed-"

"She didn't mean it-"

"She sent hunters after you-"

"She didn't understand, she-"

"Tried to have a stake put through your heart!"

"I loved her!"

"Exactly! Loved, you don't anymore,"

"Just shut up Seto!!!" Atemu screamed, turning burning crimson eyes towards his cousin, his hands fisted tightly in the sheets at his sides, his jaw clenched shut in anger. "Just shut up,"

Sighing in defeat Seto stood, knowing that there was no use in arguing, not when Atemu was acting like this. Not when he was in pain.

Seto didn't understand how Atemu could still care for someone who tried to have him killed so long ago. He didn't care if she was human or not, if you love someone, like she claimed she did, you wouldn't try to have them killed. Why couldn't Atemu see that? Why did he have to be stubborn and refuse to see?

Like his father…

Walking over to a nearby desk Seto picked up a hot cloth out of a silver bucket full of water, humming as the warm material caressed his cool skin, the hot liquid trickling down his icy fingers before he brought it, and the silver bucket, over to Atemu's bedside. Placing the hot cloth on the younger male's forehead and the silver bucket on the floor beside him.

Hissing at the slight burn, since he was becoming more and more human by the second thanks to the rising sun, Atemu soon relaxed into the bed, humming as the cloth began to warm his still slightly vampire skin.

"Thank you Seto," Atemu murmured, his crimson eyes closing in content as he let the hot cloth run along his slightly chilly skin.

Atemu didn't mean to snap at his cousin. He didn't mean to scream and yell at the one person who had been there with him all his life, before, and after he was a vampire. But there some things that Seto tried to make Atemu see that he didn't want to see.

That he wasn't ready to see…

"Don't, that's what family is for," Seto mumbled softly, before reaching down and dipping the cloth back into the hot warm, once again humming in delight at the hot liquid that met his icy fingers.

Silence once again filled the room, neither male knowing what to say, not that there was much to say between them. How could you talk to one another after such a fight? A fight about love…

A fight about the past…

Atemu hated silence, at least this kind of silence. He hated when it got quiet because it left him to his own thoughts, thoughts he didn't want to deal with. Thoughts he didn't want to remember due to the pain they brought back. Thoughts about her…

Senses his younger cousins distress, like he always could, Atemu thought of a way to change the subject, a way to get his cousins mind of that horrid girl who had caused Atemu son much grief and pain.

"Did you learn anything about the human?" Seto asked calmly, running the cooling cloth down Atemu's chest to his abdomen then back, continuing till he reached the younger male's forehead where he kept the cloth for a short moment.

"No, except maybe the fact that he lives with an older male," Atemu sighed, purring softly at the warm feel on his body, ignoring the way he knew Seto was looking at him right now.

What, he could purr when he was enjoying something couldn't her?

"A brother or boyfriend perhaps,"

"No, it was an old scent, like an old man,"

"Probably a father or grandfather,"

"I don't know, and to be honest, I don't care," Atemu grumbled angrily, opening his crimson eyes to glare at his older cousin. "This is ridicules Seto, if you are so interested in the runt then you watch after him,"

"No Atemu, you must do it, you had the vision, you reacted so strongly to him, you must be the one to trail him," Seto explained, matching Atemu's glare with on of his own.

"This is so stupid, there is nothing special about that mortal, he's just as pathetic as the rest of the mortals in the world, he's not some 'chosen one' Seto, he's just some kid trying to get by in life, nothing more," Atemu argued, sitting up quickly, ignoring the harsh throb his skull gave in protest, the cloth on his forehead falling instantly from its place onto the young vampire's lap.

"If he's just some pathetic human Atemu then why are you acting so strongly about this, why did you see into his head that day at the café, why have you been dreaming about him?"

Seto smirked, watching as Atemu's glare dropped and the younger vampire looked shocked, and a little confused.

"I haven't dreamed about-"

"Before you started screaming you were Atemu, you kept saying his name, and to top it off your puzzle was glowing the entire time, just like it did when your father met your mother," Seto explained, watching as Atemu's confusion grew, as did his anger.

"You're lying," Atemu growled, his crimson eyes narrowing into small slits as he glared at his older cousin. Why would he lie like that? Stupid Seto, he didn't know anything about Atemu. Or his father

"Look at it Atemu,"

Staring at Seto in disbelief Atemu glanced over at the upside down pyramid on his bedside table, and to his utter surprise and shock, the last remaining item he had of his father, the item that had not shown it's power for over 3 millennia was glowing brightly on the oak table, creating a bright gold hew around the golden item.

"It's… but how..."

"That's what I'm trying to figure out," and with that Seto stood and stretched, his blue robe sliding up slightly to reveal his pale but toned chest and abs. Even as a vampire Seto was still all muscle. Something that irritated Atemu to no end sometimes.

Stupid Seto.

"Lay down Atemu, you need to rest after everything you've been through, I've already called your work and told them you will be out for the rest of the week," Seto said softly, taking the cloth off Atemu's lap, nodding when Atemu did as he was told and settled back into his bed, his crimson eyes still locked on his glowing puzzle.

"Don't worry little cousin, I'm going to figure out what's going on, no more tracking the human for a while, not in your current condition,"

"But Seto I-"

"I don't know what caused you to pass out, or why your body was acting the way it did so for now just stay in bed and relax, you never take a break Atemu," and with that Seto left the room, the warm cloth still in his hand, closing the door softly behind him, leaving Atemu alone with his thoughts.

Again…

Slowly taking the puzzle off the bedside table, as if the item would burn him the minute his touched it, Atemu stared into it, gazing at his reflection in the glowing metal, the sharp sides of the puzzle biting into his skin as he held the item tightly, but Atemu didn't care, not right now.

"Father what is it you're trying to tell me," Atemu whispered to no one, staring right into the eye at the center of the metal, wishing that his father were here. Then maybe Atemu wouldn't be so confused. Maybe then he wouldn't feel so alone.

Sighing softly Atemu placed the puzzle back in its place on the bedside table before he rolled over onto his stomach and buried his face into his pillow, sighing softly into it. Wishing that he could suffocate himself at the moment.

"What's happening to me?"

......................................

Fire bursting across the land, screams filling the air as blood paints the ground.

Who shall live and who shall die?

A war that has been seen for over 10 millennia, and now it is to become true.

The one who walked the earth first as a cursed one. He is the one to blame; he is the one to thank.

No one is safe, no one can hide. The inevitable is upon us.

Love shall blossom and friendship shall die as the gates to hell are flung open, swallowing all in their path. All shall burn in the fires of Hades.

But there is hope. They just have to find it.
