Blood Love by Boogermeister
Chapter 9
"Atem, my dear, are you still having feelings for that wretched human?" Terria purred in Atem's ear; she was sitting next to him on the couch, holding his hand. Two months passed since Anzu broke up with Atem, who was so heartbroken that he inadvertly let Terria to comfort him. December snow fell slowly around Domino City, frosting the streets and the buildings.
"Atem," purred Terria as her hand just went under his shirt to caress his his toned stomach. "Let's go out together, to hunt." Atem glanced at Terria and sighed heavily before looking away. Terria slightly pouted as she moved her hand away. Maybe he needs someone to relax with, she thought seductively as she smiled.
"We don't have to go outside, Atem," smirked Terria. "We can have our own fun here." Her hands reached for Atem's belt buckles, the leader pushed them away.
"I'm going out, alone," he said finally as he stood up, grabbing his black leather coat from the couch. "Get out of my place when I leave and don't follow me." Atem put on his coat before leaving the warehouse. Terria got out, as well, knowing that Atem could snap if someone disobeyed him.
Damn, if he he don't get over that wretched human, my plan won't prevail, she thought as zipped up her dark red-colored leather coat. Her dark purple wings stretched out before she flew away.

"Uh, Mr. Seto, sir," said Ryuuji as he glanced at Seto Kaiba, who stood against a building wall with his arms crossed. "Are you sure you can kill the vampire leader?"
"Yes; the number of vampire attacks has increased for the past several weeks," replied Seto. "I'm pretty sure the vampire leader is egging me to kill him and his followers." He and Ryuuji wore thick neutral-colored trench coats that seemed to repel the winter cold. "You, patrol the northeastern part of the city. I'll patrol near the vampires' domain."
"Okay," replied Ryuuji and they each went off in different directions. "Man, I hope I kill a vampire tonight," Ryuuji muttered happily. As he turned a corner, he accidently bumped into a teenage girl with shoulder-length brown hair and bright blue eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry," he said as he took a step back.
"That's okay," said the girl, her hand stuffed inside her peach-colored coat. She glanced at Ryuuji as she remembered seeing him befor, when she was near the vampires' territory.
"Anzu, is thst your name?" asked Ryuuji. "It said that on your coat."
"Y-yeah, it does," replied Anzu, looking away.
"Something wrong?" he asked.
"It's nothing," she said quickly. "Listen, I gotta go. I'm late." Anzu quickly walked past Ryuuji, looked back with a puzzled look on his face. "Gee, what's with her?" he muttered before starting to walk.

Jonouchi yawned rudely before looking down at the snowy ground below from top of a two-story building. "Man, it's boring around here," he complained as he turned to Mahad, who competely ignored him. "Did you hear me?" I said it's--"
"I heard you, but I don't care," Mahad sighed. "Can't you go at least one year without whining like a child?"
"Nope, not really," Jonouchi smirked as he looked back at the ground. His brown eyes wandered around the snowy sidewalks until he noticed a familiar person. "Anzu?" he questioned quietly. He then jumped down behind the person. "Hey, Anzu," Jonouchi called out, causing Anzu to turn around.
"Hi, Jonouchi," she said quietly.
"Don't act like everything's fine," Jonouchi said lowly. "Atem's still mad at you for what you did to him weeks ago."
"It wasn't really my fault," whimpered Anzu.
"Oh, really?" Jonouchi retorted, crossing his arms. "Then whose fault is it?"
"It was Terria's," Anzu replied quietly; above, Mahad listened carefully at their conversation.
"Terria? How?"
"She used some kind ofspell that made me said awful things to Atem."
A spell? thought Mahad.
"Please, Jonouchi, let me see Atem," whimpered Anzu, her eyes watered. "I had to see him."
"I don't know, Anzu," Jonouchi said uneasily. "Atem is very mad. He even attacked more human than usual. Why is it you hafta see him so badly?"
"It's just that . . . . I-I . . . . I'm pregnant with Atem's child," Anzu replied quietly. Jonouchi gasped in surprise.
"You're having a kid?" he questioned increduluosly, "and Atem's the dad? How pregnant are you?"
"Nearly two months."
Jonouchi sighed as he scratched through his dirty-blond hair. "Wow, that's . . . . that's something to believe. All right, I'll take you to Atem. Good luck trying to convince him."
"Thank you, Jonouchi," smiled Anzu.
"Come on, his place ain't far from here," Jonouchi smiled as he took her hand and they started to walk. meanwhile, Mahad pondered which spell Terria must had used. It had to be a manipulation spell, he thought. I have to find out. Mahad's dark grey wings stretched out before he flew off.

Anzu sat on the couch, her arms wrapped around her stomach. "He'll be here soon, Anzu," Jonouchi reassured as he reached into his coat pocket and took out a wrapped, uneaten burger. "It's a little cold, but . . . do you want it?"
Anzu knidly took the burger. "Thanks, Jonouchi," she smiled as she unwrapped the burger. "Do you think Atem will believe me that Terria was behind this?" "Involving Terria, he'll believe it in a second," replied Jonouchi. Anzu took a bite out of the burger. "Anzu, how come you took so long to tell Atem you're pregnant?"
"I don't know," Anzu replied. "I think it was that I want to feel closer to Atem, but I want my unborn baby to know his or her father."
"Okay, I understand," Jonouchi smiled as Anzu continued eating. "It's hard to imagine Atem's being a dad. But I guess it'll be good for him."

Atem glared down at Seto; he once again eluded the vampire hunter as he hid above a fire escape. "You can't hide from me forever, vampire!" Seto yelled angrily as he walked through the thickening snow, reloading his gun. "Just surrender and I'll make your death quick and painless."
"Likewise, hunter!" snarled Atem, causing the hunter to look up. Seto aimed his gun at Atem, but he was very fast and immediately avoided the silver bullet that was shot. Atem then flew off in a swift of a wind. Seto shouted in anger and disappointment. "I'll get him sooner or later," he glowered as he gritted his teeth. "Mark my words."

Anzu and Jonouchi turned their heads as the metal door opened. Atem walked inside and his crimson eyes widened at the sight of Anzu before narrowing them demonically. "What is she doing here, Jonouchi?" he growled lowly.
"Anzu needs to tell you something," replied Jonouchi.
"I don't want to hear it," Atem growled as he walked quickly past them, but Jonouchi grabbed his arm.
"Atem, listen to her," he said determinedly. "It's really important."
"What is there to listen!?" snarled Atem as he wrenched his arm away. "Why should I care of what she have to say!?" Anzu began to sob quietly.
"Would you care if I'm carrying your child?" she whimpered. Atem stared at her in bewilderment.
"What!?" he questioned.
"It's true, Atem," Jonouchi replied quietly. "In fact, Terria used a manipulation spell on Anzu to trick you a couple of months ago."
Atem breathed heavily as his eyes watered. "Anzu . . . having my child?" he whispered as he fell to his knees in front of Anzu.
"I wouldn't lie about it, Atem," Anzu said quietly as tears fell her eyes. "I love you, I wouldn't have hurt you if Terria hadn't tricked me." Atem suddenly hugged her waist and sobbed quietly against her stomach.
"Anzu, I'm so sorry," he said quietly. "I didn't mean what I said to you. If I had known sooner--"
"It doesn't matter anymore," Anzu said with a small smile. "We're together now."
