"Ripples"

A/N: Hi ^-^ Thanks for all who reviewed.

It was impossible, he was seeing things…a ghost.

Emerald eyes widened in slight surprise and a grin appeared. "I assure you I am no ghost Balinese."

Schuldig sat on the top of a wall eight feet from the ground. He looked down towards Yohji as his hair covered half his face.

"But they told me you died." Yohji said in a confused voice.

Schuldig's grin just widened. "That's not exactly true is it?" he said. "They told you a member of Schwarz died."

Yohji blinked. "How did you…"

Schuldig laughed, swiping the hair away from his face at the same time. "It seems I've regained access to your thoughts and memories again; apparently I just had to be whatever you are."

Yohji's eyes widened. Whatever you are…

"YOU!" He said accusingly. "You attacked one of your teammates."

Schuldig's grin disappeared from his face instantly. "Not by choice" he admitted in a sullen voice. "I didn't mean to kill him…" Schuldig gazed towards the ground below him, apparently lost in thought. Yohji could have sworn that on that instant he saw remorse on the telepath's face. Yohji gave a step back, this seemed like a good time to leave; but he repented the action the second he did it. Schuldig turned his head instantly at the sound of Yohji's footstep, a deep anger reflected on his face.

"You did this to me." he hissed.

"That was an accident."

Schuldig jumped from the wall and landed swiftly on his feet close to Yohji. "Bullshit!" he yelled. "You're a freaking vampire Kudou and you turned me into one!"

Yohji backed away another step. The last thing he wanted was a fight, the last time they had fought he had…he had… "NO" he screamed. "This is some sort of disease, a virus, it just has to be."

Schuldig frowned. "Stop deluding yourself."

"But I can still walk in the daylight…"

"Your in denial Kudou."

Yohji glared at the telepath. "You seem pretty calm all things considered" he spat.

Schuldig grinned again. "Because there's something I'm looking forward too" he admitted.

"And what would that be?" Yohji asked angrily.

Schuldig gave a step forward, but Yohji stood his ground. "Do you honestly think I came here to talk to you Balinese." He gave another step forward, then another until he stood by Yohji's side. Yohji glanced his eyes sideways in order to look at the telepath. A malicious smile appeared on Schuldig's face. "I'll make you pay for what you did to me."

Yohji had less than a second to comprehend the words before Schuldig's elbow collided with the back of his head. He went instantly for his watch, but Schuldig's arm wrapped around his throat before he could pull his wire from it. Both his hands went to Schuldig's arm and he cursed strongly as his throat was being crushed.

"You were faster last time; that's the only reason you got me." Schuldig smirked. "Now were even."

Yohji's eyes went wide as he tried to breathe. He raised his elbow and slammed it backwards towards Schuldig's stomach. The blow never hit.

"You can't escape me kitten." Schuldig laughed. "You got a taste of my blood before…now it's my turn."

Yohji's desperation went up a notch. This isn't real; it just can't be real…

A hint of something sharp on his neck, slammed Yohji back to reality. He remembered his training and quickly kicked Schuldig's leg aside causing the german to loose his balance then taking the opportunity to topple him over his body and slamming him hard against the concrete floor. Without wasting a second Yohji fell on top of Schuldig pinning his legs with his own body and grappling his hands with his own.

Schuldig cursed at the top of his lungs as Yohji used his wire to wrap his hands together and pinning them with his right hand against the floor.

"Fucking bastard! Let go of me!" Schuldig yelled. "Let go of…hmph"

Yohji covered the redhead's mouth with his free hand. It wasn't really necessary since the there was no one around. Yohji would know; he had been walking around the place for the past three hours without meeting a single soul. But there was never a thing as being too careful.

"Let's talk about this, I'm sure we can reach some sort of agree…ouch!" Yohji exclaimed as he removed his left hand from Schuldig's mouth and raised it toward his own. "You bit me!" he exclaimed placing the nipped finger inside his mouth. Schuldig's grin couldn't have been any wider and Yohji starred, horror struck when he saw that the german indeed had fangs. The Weiss assassin glared at the telepath as he sucked the little bit of blood that had come from the tip of his finger. A reflex he instantly regretted.

The drop of blood woke something in Yohji, something he had been blocking out for the past two days. He raised his free hand to his throat as it became intensely soar and that unknown thirst came rushing back. He shut his eyes.

"NO"

Schuldig started struggling frantically beneath him. Yohji forced his eyes open. The emerald in Schuldig's eyes were bursting with panic.

"No! You're not doing this to me again, I won't let you!" he screamed.

It didn't matter to the telepath that his entire body was pinned to the ground by Yohji's weight; nor that his hands were tied and held. He refused to be the victim again.

Yohji struggled to keep his head clear and his body in control. His body craved for energy; energy that laid only below Schuldig's skin, inside his veins. The german's struggling wasn't helping at all. Yohji knew that he had to make him stop struggling before he lost control again. He released Schuldig's hands from his grip, tolerating the immediate assault on his body as he took some more wire from his watch and wrapped it around Schuldig's throat in one swift move.

The Schwarz assassin gasped for air as he scrambled to grab the wire at his throat, his strength diminishing after every second that passed.

"I hate you…" he managed to mutter as his eyelids closed over his eyes and his body finally became still.

Yohji scrambled to his feet and created a good distant between him and the unconscious telepath. The hunger was starting to drive him mad. He had to get rid of it somehow, make it disappear. But Schuldig was the only person close to him, and Yohji refused to repeat the incident from three nights ago. He was desperate, anything would do…

Yohji covered his face with his left hand in desperation and instantly took noticed of his own pale wrist.

Then without giving it a second thought sank his fangs into it.

It was two in the morning.

Yohji sat on the concrete floor, his back against a wall; Schuldig's unconscious body sprawled beside him. He felt calm, a little too calm. Maybe it was the blood loss…or blood intake for that matter. Whichever it was, it had worked since Yohji felt no trace of the hunger that had threatened to claim control of him. Yohji couldn't deny it anymore; whatever was happening to him was not natural; and the only thing that even came close to describing it was the term vampire. But he wasn't about to give up without a fight; he was determined to find a cure for himself.

But first things first. He glanced down at the telepath with curious eyes.

"Now what am I supposed to do with you?"

Schuldig was a hazard. Especially to others; he had already apparently killed one of his teammates by accident. He couldn't let Schuldig go; that was out of the question. There were only two options left; taking him with him or killing him. It was quite a pickle indeed.

Yohji sighed. No matter how much he thought of it, he just couldn't bring himself down to killing the telepath. If it hadn't been for him in the first place, Schuldig wouldn't even be here.

Yohji forced his body from the floor, reaching a decision. He soon found out that Schuldig was quite heavy as he raised the german's body from the floor and slumped him over his shoulder in a fireman's hold. He gave a step forward, trying to ignore the pain on his left wrist as he started the walk to his car.

A/N: I'm sorry for it being so short, but it couldn't be helped.
