When I felt my body again I was falling out of the sky into a sky of auroras. I was ninety per cent sure we were in the spirit world. And so my first instinct was to reach for my duel disk and I did, only for a hand to reach out and stop mine.

"Camula! What are you doing!? Let me sum—" She shook her head gently, "Try and unfurl your wings."

I had wings? Of course, I had wings, fucking Yugioh vampires!

"Close your eyes."

She had an iron grip on my deck hatch so I was not getting out of this one. I sighed and closed my eyes.

"Feel for your wings, try to rattle your whole body."

I did, I let my whole body loose and tried to reach for something that was never there before, I felt two in my mouth, my teeth. And two on my back, my wings. It felt intuitive. It felt instinctive and now it was feeling fucking awesome.

I stretched them hard, as hard as I could and my clothes ripped as I felt the sensation of pleasant air rubbing my back. I let them loose.

I opened my eyes, and I could see for miles. And I was no longer falling. I was flying. The wind rushed through my wings, sliced into two, and my hair dodged and weaved as the currents folded them about. I was free and it was awesome.

Okay, I loved being a vampire. The strength, the immortality, the wings, mostly the wing.

"So like it?" I must have been smiling like a puppy because she let loose a maniacal laugh.

"There are many more advantages to being a vampire, you know?" I was tempted into doing what she wanted if she taught me those benefits, "What do you want?"

"Be my daughter, not just as some ritual but one that has meaning. Let me be your mother," I rolled my eyes, "Fine I will."

"And you will have to learn proper etiquette," I shuddered at that but sighed, "Fine, now can we go home? You have proved your point."

"Home my dear? This Spirit festival has just begun."

The what?

———

"Is that fucking Seto Kaiba?" I said as we approached the festival grounds hundreds of spirits surrounded Jayden who duelled Kaiba.

"No, who is that even? That is Kaibaman," Oh right, the original Yugioh self-insert fanfiction.

"So…why are we here?" I asked her as we circled the ring from the sky.

"His spirit was worried about him, Jayden as you call him has a good friend in that thing. As for why the rest of you are here? To take your mind off the riders and enjoy the day," I gave her a blank stare and asked, "So you a spirit now?"

"No, a vestige, I am a remnant left within you to guide you, Camula is dead. Devoured by the shadows and you? You are my last bit of salvation," I laughed, get fucked bitch. "Then good luck to us both."

She nodded and dissolved into me.

"Hey, Camula?"

No response, I rolled my eyes, "Mom?"

"Yes sweetly?" Ah, what a bitch.

"How did you do that?"

"What?"

"That finger snap that got us here?"

"I just provide the link Kaibaman was searching for to get you all there."

"Makes no sense to me, you know that?"

"I will teach you later."

"Fine."

I targeted the open spot near Alexis and dived.

"I summon my…" Kaibaman stopped and smiled, his eyes turned to Chazz who was next to Alexis, "You might want to move."

"Why?" Chazz gave his defiant frown, and Kaibaman gestured towards the Sky.

I was blazing down the sky like a meteor about to end the dinosaurs. I had gained terminal fucking speed and it was glorious.

They ran from the sight of my landing, I decided to test something out, so I folded my wings. Let's crash.

"Mom, will this be fine?"

"Why don't you find out, most that will happen is you will break all the bones in your body, big deal."

"So it will be fine."

I straightened into a diving posture as I crashed the earth shook with the sheer force of the impact, and my bent like springs till I hit the surface with my head. And what do you know? Newton's third law is still a bitch. I was launched about twenty feet in the air as I backflipped with the force and barely landed on my feet.

"Okay, that was fun."

I felt the crack, the dust puffing and the ground shaking as it broke. It was amazing. Okay, fuck humanity. Broken as fantasy bullshit is where it's at.

"Mira, what? You? That rocket was you?" Chazz asked and I nodded, "Yep! I was diving with terminal velocity."

"You scared the life out of them," Kaibaman said as he placed his card face down.

"Mira, you can fly?" Jayden looked awed and I nodded, "Perks of being a vampire I suppose. My mom taught me by the way."

Chazz walked beside me, "Your mom? I thought you were an orphan?"

"Weird Vampire shit, you mortal will never understand," I said as I sat down on the ground.

He gave me an eye roll before sitting down with me, "So am I supposed to call you your majesty now and kiss your hand?"

"Ewwwwwwwwww."

"You want to fight?" He said as he pulled his sleeves up.

I picked up a nearby rock and crushed it with bare hands, "Am I clear?"

He just sighed and slacked back onto the ground, "You are gonna be such a pain in the ass."

—————————————————————

I slept through everything after that, working more on being a vampire than anything. Even skipping school. I had one plan to explain my change of looks and I would do it on the Duel Monsters Festival day.

And it was time for the Titan duel.

"So, you think he will be fine?" I asked as I sat on a chair next to Alexis, as she gazed completely lost in thought at Atticus.

"He is with us, but only his body and spirit, his mind is…empty without his memories," She said and I put one hand on her shoulders, "Don't worry Alexis, I am sure his memory loss had something to do with the shadow riders when we crush them, we can get his memories back."

"Yeah," She said as she turned towards me and pulled me into a hug, "You know, your skin feels cold," Alexis said and I nodded, "I know. Yours feel so warm, I want to wrap myself around you like a snake."

She rolled me closer, "You can," I made a small cheer as I lifted her from her chair and pulled her into mine and onto my lap.

She squealed but I was merciless. Once she was sufficiently subdued, I pulled her eyes onto mine and asked, "Alexis," She straightened up, "I want to drink your blood."

"Wah-what?" She stuttered but I did not care, she was going to an important food source after I had discovered that blood-blank blood did nothing.

I needed her.

Fuck, to depend on someone else for something so basic as food made me want to puke.

"Blood banks' blood did not work, I need a live human to feed on," She stuttered but calmed very very quickly, I was slightly amazed, "So you want to drink mine?"

I nodded, "Yours."

I had been taught something, 'Blood queen,' and 'Blood King,' something which you would think refers to vampires right? But no. It refers to humans. Humans who have had their bodies changed to suit their owner and how did it happen? We take advantage of human adaptation, our venom changes them slowly to better suit us. To keep us company in our long lives.

The women become Blood queens and the men become blood kings.

They don't become vampires, that is a ritual lost to time. The reason why Camula was dependent on the riders. It was either she gave her life for a new vampire or gambled.

It instilled unyielding devotion, love and adoration in them. Slowly enslaving them. The best part is they won't ever know it.

We are a horrible race. I love it. Minus the dependency.

She took a gulp and said, "Do it."

I nodded, bringing my face closer to her neck. I opened my mouth and let a breath hit her soft skin. She gulped. I slid my tongue across the spot I would bite. She shuddered. She was like a doll. A robot whose controls I knew.

I bit down. She moaned. I felt poison leaving my teeth.

It looked so romantic but it was terrible. This was the start of my breaking her and rebuilding her to suit my needs and I had a feeling that If I asked her to let me do this, she would agree. But I take no risks.

I felt her blood climb and I felt euphoria, the sweet embrace of power and strength. The feeling of the strongest drug.

Alexis? Her mind was flooding with thoughts of pain, pleasure and devotion. Soon I would be the only thing in the world for her. I am a terrible person.

Alexis woke up to find herself asleep on the lap of her vampiric best friend who was looking out the window. Mira could not sleep, she would always be alone on cold nights now. Only her 'mother' keeps her company.

She moved her head a little into her tummy, it was cold against her skin. Lile ice. Her long black hair was iconic in the school, everyone knew about the girl who broke most if not all regulations of the dress code from her hair. She was the only girl who broke the hair length rule after all.

But no one says anything. Maybe it is because everyone likes her. From the teachers to the peons. She is probably the only student that everyone knows about.

And she was Alexis's love. Heck, she didn't even know if she liked girls that way or not. But she was sure that she, herself did like her, she did a lot more than like her.

Mira was a girl of wonder for her, she was her best friend, her love and her rock. Sure she had driven away Mi…what was her name again? Mindy? Madison? Something like that. Oh and Jasmine too. But they deserved it.

She was quirky, she was fun-loving and she was very good at duelling. Terrifyingly so, had she not lost to Jayden that day she would have probably been her target to beat.

And today she was sure of one more thing, Mira needed her. She needed her support, her love.

Sure she had killed, but she did it to save others.

Sure Dimitri got expelled but none of that was her fault. No, it was all because she was too weak to help her.

Then a stray thought ran into her mind, 'What if the girl that is Mira was a lie?' She crushed the thought. No way was her Mira a lie.


[A/N: Let me level with you guys. This story is complete. This might feel abrupt but this was the endpoint I had envisioned in my head.

If you cannot already tell from the last paragraph, Mira was as I envisioned her to be: A Mary Sue.

She to everyone is a Jar of Goodness that brings life to the mundane. She is the best, everyone likes her and the world twists around her actions.

I just added one thing to her, behind it all she is a monster who will gut you alive if she stands to benefit.

It was my poor, shitty attempt at a story against the culture of 'shipping,' 'power wanks,' 'save the world,' and 'bastard with a heart of gold,' which are very popular in the space of Yugioh fanfiction.

In fanfic, she made her boat with Alexis who she had isolated from all of her friends, tore her world apart and settled herself in.

She has never lost a real duel, but that was because she built the most bullshit deck she could and abused the good nature of people to make it. Instead of what usually happens, 'Oh heart of the cards!' '2020 Meta deck lol,'

'enjoy the game.'

She is not a hero out to save the world but a cut-throat murderer out to make a profit.

'Bastard with a heart of gold,' every Self Insert fanfic from male authors is this, they might be assholes but they are good people and they get the hoes. Please be real with yourself. Mira has no heart.

I had originally planned for three more chapters ending it at a nice 15. But this is it for me. I don't have more for Mira, that would be just a power wank.

Lastly, you are free to continue the story if you want. I won't stop anyone from writing something very similar. I don't own anything here.

Also, 40k words in about three-four days I did not know I could do it.
