Chapter 2


When he woke up again, his headache was subsiding and his nausea was nearly gone. He was hesitant to sit up, afraid that both would come back. He decided slowly was best, and sat up very slowly. When he was fully sitting up, the memories from when he was last awake came to mind.


(She has to be joking,) Bakura thought. To be sure, he felt his eyeteeth. They were definitely longer, and poked his finger when he touched the tips of them. (Vampires are dead, which would mean I wouldn't have a pulse.)


He felt his throat first, and felt nothing. (I hope I'm dreaming.) He felt his chest, and to his own shock, nothing. (I have to be dreaming! I have to be!) He pinched himself, hard. It hurt, and the realization began to sink in.


(I can't believe it,) Bakura thought. (It's really true; I am a vampire.) For some reason, suicide was his first immediate thought, but then he thought better of it. (No, there has to be something that can be done to reverse this, there has to be.)


He looked around. He had been put back into the bed he had woken up in before. He turned and swung his legs out of the bed and got to his feet. His head spun and he felt like he was going to be sick, but he held onto one of the bedposts to steady himself and waited until the nausea past.


(I have to get out of here,) he thought. (I have to get back home, let the others know I'm all right. How long have I been gone?) He walked slowly to the door and opened it, only to be confronted with Seras.


"Oh, you're awake again are you?" she asked. "I don't really know if you should be out of bed yet, but I definitely know that you shouldn't leave this room." She turned him around and gently pushed him back inside. "By the way that you're standing, I'd say you're feeling a little bit better."


Bakura sat back down on the bed. "I guess. The headache's nearly gone, and I don't feel like I'm going to lose my stomach anymore either."


"I don't think you'd have anything in there anyway," Seras said. "I don't think I have to tell you why."


"Please tell me there's a way to reverse this?" Bakura asked hopefully.


Seras shook her head, "No, I'm sorry. If there were, I'd have done it myself."


Bakura held his head, "No, there has to be a way."


Seras shook her head, "There isn't Bakura, I'm sorry, but you're stuck this way."


"How did this happen?" Bakura whispered.


Seras shrugged, "We have no idea. Master can look into your mind, but you were in such pain that he didn't."


"Why was I in such pain?" Bakura asked.


"You were suffering from the sudden change," Seras answered. "You're body was in complete health when you were changed, so you're normal body rebelled against it. Normally when a human is changed into a vampire they're weak of body or mind."


"It makes some sense," Bakura muttered as he rubbed his temples. "It probably wouldn't to anyone who hasn't been through my schooling."


"Huh?"


"I have a Master's degree in medicine," Bakura answered. "I only just graduated two months ago."


"Wow," Seras said in awe. "That's certainly odd."


"Hmm?"


"A doctor who's a vampire," Seras said. "You definitely won't be allowed in an operating room."


"I work in pediatrics," Bakura muttered.


"With all the little kids?" Seras asked. Bakura nodded, "Aw, how cute."


"What do you mean by that?" Bakura asked.


"Oh nothing, I just remembered how you were when you're little sister was around."


"Oh," Bakura blushed. "Yeah, well..."


"Were you hoping for fatherhood in you future?" Seras asked.


"I was," Bakura answered. "There goes that hope down the drain."


"I'm sorry," Seras said.


Bakura shook his head, "Ah forget it. I don't even know if my fiancˇ will except me back."


"Fiancˇ?" Seras asked. "You're engaged?"


"I don't know any more," Bakura sighed. "I might as well be classified as dead."


"Don't talk like that," Seras said.


"How do you expect them to find me here?" Bakura asked.


Seras thought for a moment. "Do your friends and family have the internet?" Bakura nodded. "Hang on a sec, I'll be right back" She bolted out of the room.


"Wonder what she has planned?" Bakura asked aloud. He lay back down on the bed and covered his eyes with his hand. "What am I going to do?" He thought about leaving without saying anything, but then he thought about what Seras had said, about him being weak because of his transformation.


(Just when I thought I had something good happening in my life something else happens that screws it all up.) He groaned and rolled to his left side. (I wonder what Seras has planned?) He shook his head and closed his eyes, hoping that sleep would overcome him and he would wake up and it would all be a really bad dream.

It wasn't. He woke up to find Seras shaking him, "What?" he asked, still drowsy.


"I asked Walter if you could use his computer to contact you family and friends," Seras answered. "He agreed to let you, but not for long, I hope you can type quickly."


Bakura stared at her, "You're going to let me contact them?"


"Yes." Seras answered smiling.


Bakura felt so relieved, but what if they don't believe that he was there? He shook his head, banishing the thought. "Where is it?"


"Follow me," Seras answered.


Bakura got to his feet, relieved that his head didn't spin. He followed Seras out of the room and down a dark hallway. "Are we in a dungeon?"


"Mm-hmm," Seras answered.


"Why?"


"I'll explain later," Seras, answered. They got to a flight of stairs and headed up. From there they reached a large entry way inside a building. Walter was waiting for them.


"Normally I don't allow other people to use my things," Walter said. "But since this is an emergency, I'm willing to make an exception."


"Thank you," Bakura replied.


Walter nodded and led them up a large staircase. They reached a room full of books, and one lone computer. "I'm sure you know how to access your own screen name and email address?"


Bakura nodded, he had down it several times before. Walter got him online and left Bakura to do the rest on his own. (Something's telling me that I'm not well liked,) Bakura thought to himself.


He sent out all of his emails, six in all, and the turned back to Walter so the man could sign off. "All I have to hope for now is if they believe me or not."


"Cross your fingers that they do," Seras said as she crossed her fingers. "I'll cross me eyes too for good measures." She did so.


Walter chuckled, "I'd like to see you walk like that."


Seras stuck her tongue out, "Well at least I'm being optimistic."


"To me it looks like you're being silly," Bakura said.


"Are you finished in here?" They all turned around to see Integra standing in the doorway.


"Yes Ma'am," Walter said, "We just finished." He turned to Bakura, "We'll check in a few hours to see if you have any replies." Bakura nodded and Seras led him out and back to the dungeons.


"Why does it seem that Walter and Integra don't like me?"


"It does?" Seras asked. "Well, Integra's always like that, and I can never tell with Walter."


Bakura sighed and plopped back down on the bed. "Where's your room?"


"Next door," Seras answered. "So if you need anything just knock." She left the room.


Bakura lay back on his bed. (Lovely, now I have to wait.)
