Sorry was the long wait, but I promise I'll start updating this more.

I do not own Yugioh.

Chapter six.

Lullaby's and nightmares.

Sahara had never felt so happy since the day she meet Atem. She was happily living with Yugi now, well at least Yugi tells her she'll live with him and his grandfather.

Sahara and Yugi walked out of the school, Joey, Tristan and Tea only a few steps away.

"Oh, Yugi! That was simply wonderful!" Sahara shouted, hugging Yugi close. "Can I go again?!" She shouted.

Joey and Tristan smiled but Tea frowned, Yugi had told them who Sahara was. But only Joey seemed to be afraid of her, but that soon passed over. Yugi had also told them not to be afriad of her, since she wasn't used to being accepted anymore.

Yugi smiled at her. "Uh, sure."

"Great!" She shouted cheerfully and released the blushing Yugi. She turned to Joey, Tristan and Tea with a smile.

In Egypt, in the Thief King's hid-out.

The hid-out was dark and cold, the air itself was still and filled with evil.

Shattered curtains hung from bricked up walls and shadowy figure sat on an old Egyptian Pharaoh's Throne. But he wore no crown, only the frown of a man searching for something that couldn't be found.

His hair was white with black and dark gray shadows, his eyes a dark brown filled with rage and anger. His skin pale. He wore a black leather jacket (A;N I love when he wears that jacket!!) that reached his ankles, a blue and white striped T-shirt and blue jeans.

"My Lord." A shadow rider walked into the throne room and bowed at the Thief's feet.

"What is it?" His voice was dark and kinda sounded scratched, only futhering his evil like form.

"T'is Sara, she's found Sahara. I sent the Diabound but she got away."

He looked down at the shadow rider. "How dare you make a decistion without my permession! I'm the ruler of the Shadow Riders!"

"Yes sire, but Sara found her!"

"Found who?!" He was filled with rage, how dare his own shadow rider go behind his back and use his own Diabound in the prosses!

"Sahara, my Lord."

Suddenly, the Thief went silent. He looked away from the thief and over to a large stone well, in it was silver water. He ran to it and gently touched the water. The water circuled and finally came to rest, revealing a young girl with long white hair and crimson red eyes.... "Sahara..." The Thief whispered.

"You've finally awoken from your slumber, huh?" He began to chuckle evilly, then laugh evilly and loudly. The sound echoing in the large empty room.

finally after all these years of waiting, she's been awoken! My evil plain can go back into action! She'll be mine once again, and this time the Pharaoh won't stop me! She'll be mine, ALL MINE! Finally after 5000 years of nothing but waiting, after nothing but searching, she'll be mine!

You can't hide anymore my dear Sahara!

He smirked evilly and suddenly saw a young boy hug her. Rage filled within him because the boy looked just like the Pharaoh.

This can't be happening, I thought he was dead! No matter, I'll just have to try and kill him again! She will be mine this time, and I won't let her go this time. SHE WILL BE MINE!

Then, a little girl, probably only the age of eight, walked into the room. She had white hair and beautiful violet eyes, her skin a light tan color. She wore a white jacket, the sleeves reaching passed her fingers, a pink T-shirt and a long purple skirt. "Father," she spoke and he turned to her.

"Ah, Sara, I heard you've found mommy."

She nodded. "Yes, she is in Japen, in a city called Domino."

He nodded. "Good, lets get ready to go." He turned away and smirked.

Back with Yugi and Sahara.

After Joey, Tristan and Tea had gone home, Yugi decided to take Sahara to somewhere special. Somewhere to clear her mind, maybe make this day even better for her.

"Where are we going now, Yugi?" She asked, her crimson eyes sparkling.

He looked up at her and smiled. "It's a surprise." He told her.

She grinned and looked down at her feet in thought. Hmm....Ever since Yugi came, it's all been about surprises. Maybe I like surprises now. She suddenly looked up to see a hill, the sun was setting and making it glow. There was, what looked to be, an oak tree. The grass was a beautiful green with a hint of dirt. "Yugi....." She whispered, this place reminded her of her past for some reason. But she pushed those memories aside and followed Yugi once again.

"You like it, Sahara? I go to this place when I get afraid or alonely, something about it is just so calming." Yugi asked as they neared the oak tree.

She nodded. "I see." She looked down at Yugi and saw the teen was smiling up at her.

He really is a cutie, she told herself. Yugi grabbed her hand and led her to the tree, he sat down and pulled her with him.

He sat with his legs crossed as he watched the sun set, it casted many beautiful colors in the once bright blue sky.

Sahara also sat with her legs crossed, but she wasn't looking at the sun set. She was looking at Yugi. She grinned sweetly, Yugi, you little fool, you've no idea how much you've helped me.

Yugi felt her eyes on him, and turned to have his thoughts answered. He frowned. "Something wrong, Sahara?"

She shook her head, still grinning. She looked at the sun set. "Nothing's wrong Yugi." Not anymore.

Yugi looked back at the sunset, it seemed to really capture his attention.

Sahara leaned her back against the oak tree, she looked up and saw leafs falling off. This made her think...She had been gone for 5000 years, locked away in a mantion, with no one to talk to. The falling leafs made her feel deferent.....Ever since she met Yugi, her life was deferent. Hmm.....I can't help but feel something bad is going to happen. I hope it has nothing to do with Yugi, I couldn't let anything happen to him. She looked up and saw Yugi staring at her.

He blushed. "Hey....Sahara?"

"Hmm?"

"A-are you really a vampire?"

That caught her attention....She sighed. Do I really want to scare Yugi? This would probably scare him to death....But he must know. She looked down at her shoes, not used to the sight quit yet. "It's true, Yugi."

He gulped but stayed where he was. Which surprised Sahara, but she continued without showing it. "Long ago when Bakura kidnapped me, he might have put some sort of spell on me. He, aparently, already knew that the Pharaoh would place a curse on me. So he probably put another on me in case I awoke." She suddenly became very hungry....but not for food. She could smell Yugi's blood, it smalled good. She shook her head, trying to clear the scent, but it wouldn't work.

She quickly stood. "Huh....I have to go!"

Yugi looked confused. "What? Why? Is something wrong?" he asked concernly.

She fought the urge to bite him, his blood was beginning to really get to her. She backed away when Yugi stood. She didn't want to hurt Yugi.

"Y-Yugi....Get a-away!" She told him, tears were forming in her eyes. Not just because of the scent that was now fighting with her nose, but because she was afraid she'd hurt Yugi.

Yugi had been walking toward her, but stopped at her words. He didn't know what was going on, and wanted to help. "Sahara, what's wrong? Tell me!"

She shook her head, her eyes closing tight as tears began streaming out. "No!" She opened her eyes. She saw Yugi's eyes widen in fear as he stared straight into her eyes.

"Y-You're eyes! Sahara, you're eyes are red!"

She closed her eyes tight, now the fear in Yugi was making his blood run fast. She didn't like that. She didn't want to hurt him. "Y-Yugi....G-go home and s-stay there....! I'll b-be there later!"

Yugi shook his head. "But Sahara....." His voice held concern. She knew he wanted to help her...

She calmed as best she could. "Yugi...Go home, I'll be there later...I promise."

Yugi looked concerned and confused at the same time. "But, I want to stay."

"Yugi....For your own safty, go home." She looked at him, Yugi gasped and backed away a little.

Tears streamed down her checks...She didn't want to scare him anymore. She turned away. "If you won't go....I will!" Her bat like wings flung out. Her leather outfit appearing again.

She ran for the edge of the chiff, Yugi following her. "Sahara!" She heard him shout, but didn't stop.

She kicked off the edge of the chiff with her boot and took off into the sky, leaving a frightened Yugi by himself.

Sahara let the wind blow threw her hear, it was magically making Yugi's blood scent disappear from her sences. What had just happened back there? She asked herself. That never happened before....OH RA! NO! Tha vampire thirst has begun...I need to stay away from Yugi...He'll get hurt if I try to drink his blood. I need to find somewhere else to feast. She looked down, she had known about the whole vampire thing since she got the curse.

She flew over the city and towards the sunset. She bowed her head. And to think..... She thought. ....I was beginning to think Yugi could help me....I'll never move on to the afterlife. She looked up and into the colorful fading sky. "Atem....I guess I really won't ever see you again...." She was so upset at that moment. Even though she had ploted her revenge, she still loved Atem.

"It's to late to change the past....I'm stuck here until I can resolve everything...." She kept flying, looking for someone to drink blood from.

Late that night at Yugi's house.

Yugi, still wearing his school uniform, was fast asleep on the couch where Sahara had slept the night before. He had been up waiting for her almost all night. He had his homework in his lap and his pencil was at his side. The lamp on the table next to the couch was the only light on. He moved his head a little, but didn't awake.

Suddenly, the front door opened a little and a shadowy figure walked inside. It was Sahara...

She saw Yugi and frowned. Why is Yugi asleep on the couch? She was futher into the house, silently closing the door behind her. She jumped when someone touched her shoulder from behind. She quickly looked back and sighed with relief.

"A little jumpy, are we?" Grandpa Motou asked. "I see you've drank your fill." He said, seeing a line of dried blood at the edge of Sahara's mouth.

She wiped it away. "I had to." She walked into the 'kitchen' as Yugi called it and leaned against the couter. Her uniform was torn, but still covered her enough. She crossed her arms as Grandpa walked in. "What do you want, old man?"

"You know....Yugi has been waiting for you since he got home earlier. Ran in telling me you took off and didn't tell him where you were going. He also told me your eyes were red, and that you kept telling him to get away from you..." His eyes told her he knew what was going on.

"You've got the wrong idea!" she basched out, but then softened her voice. "I'd never hurt Yugi..." She turned away.

"But you almost did, correct?"

She stood silent....What Solomin said was true, she did almost hurt Yugi. His blood wouldn't leave her nose for even a second, and the urge to bite him had grown within a second. She swung around and almost shouted. "I flew away because I didn't want to hurt Yugi, I left him there for a reason! I was trying to protect him!"

"He could've helped you, Sahara. Trust me, you weren't going to bite him."

"And how to you know?!"

"Sahara, I'm an old man. I know a lot about Vampires. You're just a beginner...." He walked to the livingroom, Sahara following. Solomin looked down at Yugi. "The reason Yugi isn't afraid of you, is because he really likes you. He thinks you don't like him...And I've been trying to tell him deferent. I know you love him, Sahara. He looks just like the Pharaoh, and that must pain you."

she nodded, Yugi did remind her of Atem...But lately she wasn't thinking about it, all she thought of was Yugi. "But how do I stop myself from hurting him? His blood almost made me want to kill something...."

Solomin sighed. "Quite your worrying, Sahara and go to bed. You've had a long day."

"Do you want me to put Yugi to bed?"

Solomin hasitated before answering. "Just don't try to bite him."

She grinned softly and nodded. "I promise."

Solomin disappeared into his bedroom upstairs.

Sahara looked at the sleeping Yugi and smiled. she gently lifted the book from his lap and set it next to him. She lifted up his sleeping form and walked to the stairs. She already knew where Yugi's bedroom was.

She walked up stairs and over to Yugi's room, she opened the door and went inside. She gently laid Yugi down on the bed and sat on the edge. She brushed one of his yellow banes out of his eyes.

Every night you danced with me, every night you told me I was your love and your soul. You said our hearts were intwined......You said I was never going to be...the outcast of your heart....

She looked at the door and sighed.

Never forgot you were the one...the one I loved more then anything. It wasn't the gifts...it wasn't the fame....I just wanted to be with you......

To forgive and forget wasn't for you, instead you gave it up and trapped me away. I sang every night, our last lullaby.....But last I truely sang...was with you.......

She walked over to Yugi and kissed his forhead. "Sleep well, Yugi. I'll never let anything ever hurt you....I promise." She went to stand, but stopped when Yugi's voice filled her ears. "Sahara?"

She looked down and smiled at him. "Hey, Yugi."

He looked up at her. "Where were you?"

She sigehd and looked away. "I was out doing what you call...'shopping'." She lied. And Yugi knew it.

Sahara went to stand, but Yugi's hand on her arm stopped her again. "Don't leave, Sahara. I was worried about you....Could you...."

"Yes, Yugi?" She asked.

"Could you...stay in here with me?" He asked nerously.

She grinned and nodded, knowing Yugi just wanted to know she was with him. She laid down next to him and he set an arm around her.

He nuzzled closer to her. "Goodnight Sahara." He whispered and closed his eyes.

"Goodnight Yugi." She closed her eyes and allowed sleep to find her.

Both had totally forgot to change into their pajamas...But they didn't care anyways.
