Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ A Feary Tale ❯ Vampire a little bit Different ( Prologue )

Hello again! Picaro speaking I´m onca again starting a fic despite my better knowledge, knowing that this is just too insane. I ended up doing it anyway, though. Actually, I didn´t want to start posting this until I´d at least finished chapter three of it, but, well, chapter three´s half past finished and I´m simply too curious how people´ll react.

Things you should know: First, the rating isn´t quite right. This story is horror/humor/romance/fantasy story with a bit of adventure added to spice things up. Next thing is that this´s a Seto/Ryou story. And third? Third´s that this story is loosely (very loosely! Extremely very loosely!) based of the old german fairy tale ´The youth who could not shiver and shake´ from Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. And a great thanks to my wonderful beta R-sama for helping me out with the grammar and formatting!

That´s all, I guess!

#1: Vampire a little bit different#

Ryou crouched low, never letting his chosen prey out of his sight. The other boy was blessedly oblivious to his close presence.

Ryou licked his lips. Suddenly they seemed to have become very dry. The lick didn't help. If anything, it only helped making the lust for the hunt grow. The pale haired boy could barely keep it in any longer. Hastily crawling closer, he eyed his chosen prey hungrily.

It was a tall one, sinewy and thin, yet he was carrying himself with an regal air that showed that he feared no one. His hair was short and dark brownish, though the darkness of the night made it difficult to distinguish the actual colour. The movements of the other reminded Ryou of a tiger. The most dangerous creature around and very well knowing it.

Ryou licked his lips again.

The brunette had wandered a bit ahead and was now looking at something on the ground that had apparently caught his interest. When he crouched down to get a better look at it, Ryou knew that it was his time to pounce.

´Now!´

With a shrill cry he propelled himself forward towards his unsuspecting prey- and cried out in pain when he was hit squarely in the face. With a pained yelp, the pale-haired boy went down.

"Oww…!!"

Towering over the fallen boy, the victim-turned-predator let out a dry, malicious chuckle.

"Fool. Did you really think I didn't hear you?" The other made a disdainful noise in the back of his throat. "You made more noise than a whole stampede of bulls together."

Bending down, he easily picked up the shorter boy by his collar and lifted him up into the air. Ryou gasped lightly at the rough treatment, feet dangling a half feet over the ground. But what was far worse was the blood that was slowly collecting in his mouth, his blood.

Gulping down a little of the bitter liquid, Ryou quenched his eyes open enough to meet a set of angry, blazing sapphires. He gulped again, intimidated. None the less, he forced himself to speak.

"I-ie! No. Please! Let me down. P-Please let me down..."

"Hm?"

The brunette frowned at the broken whimper, but compiled, dropping Ryou roughly on the ground. As soon as he hit the ground, the pale boy clasped both hands in front of his mouth, looking terrified. Slowly pulling them away, he held out a piece of something shiny and pearly white. The other frowned.

"You… You broke it! Gods, you broke my tooth!!"

The blue-eyed one frowned.

"Eh?"

Ryou shot him a mortified look.

"My fang! You broke my fang!!"

By now, the animosity on the brunette's face had changed completely to a look of surprise.

"You're a vampire…"

"And you broke my fang!"

Ryou waved the broken piece of tooth in front of his face, barely avoiding poking him in the nose with it. The brunette rose a slim eyebrow.

"... Sorry?"

Unfortunately, that only caused Ryou to flip even more.

"Sorry?! Do you know what you've done?! My fang! My precious-!! Do you even know what you've done?! How am I supposed to feed like that…"

Giving the raving vampire a flat look, the stranger stepped back, waiting for Ryou to finally calm down. Which was going to be a long wait.

"…and besides that, how- Doesn't it smell burnt here?"

Blue ice-chips blinked, confused at the sudden change of topic.

"Burnt…?"

Ryou sniffed again.

"Yes. Definitely burnt. Like… old leather or such?"

This earned him another blank look, but the former victim also turned around and began sniffing for the said smell. Ryou couldn't understand that he hadn't noticed it until now. It was directly there and -Uwaugh! The pale boy stumbled back as a fresh wave of air smacked the vile stench right into his face. His fine senses immediately redefined what it was.

"That- that is burnt flesh! Human flesh!!"

"Humans…?" The other gave the other (most possibly crazy) boy a stern look. "That's impossible. We're the only humans here. . ."

A look of realisation crossed his face.

"Damn!!"

And with that, he dashed away, leaving poor, confused Ryou all alone to himself. Ryou blinked. That was not the way it was supposed to go. That was definitely not the way it was supposed to go… And he was currently poking himself in the finger with the end of his broken fang.

"OI!! Whoever you are, wait-!"

He ran after the brunette.

# -> Chapter 2…?#

; Well, that´s it. Guess by now you all must´ve noticed that this won´t be going to be our usual vampire/gothic/horror/fantasy story. Oh, and it´s AU! But you already nitced that as well, right…?
