Chapter 19: Midnight

(don't own anything!) ((HOLY I am so glad that I got so many reviews! THANKIES! I can't wait till I get this chappie up! Your in for a big surprise!))

(last time)

A lone tear slipped from your eyes as Kaiba slipped the poison into his mouth. Bakura went limp as the poison took effect: Taking his powers away.

You finally had the strength to speak, "Where did you get that?! How did you get-"

Kaiba cut you off, "Show me the grave of the first servant vampire." He walked over to you and held a stake you your heart. He figured out that he could kill you; without Bakura's help. You had no choice but to show or tell him.

"Show me." He pressed the stake to your heart while Joey and Yami carried the limp Bakura out the door. You looked out the window of the shack. `I hate you moon.' The bright and full moon seemed to shine brightly than ever before.

You nodded and followed the two teenagers out the entryway, which was now your exit forever.

(this time)

`Why? Why does it have to be a full moon tonight?!' Once you reached outside, you noticed that Yami had a stake that was longer than a knife. It looked like it was a sword. You gasped mentally as you watched Joey reveal a knife; both the stake and knife were pure silver ready to kill the king at midnight.

Walking was harder every second, especially with the eyes of Bakura at your neck. He had finally awakened; you were in the lead with Kaiba sticking the stake at your back every time you faulted to glide and trip. Bakura was in between Yami and Joey; bringing up the rear, they had his hands bound so he couldn't do anything rash. The moon seemed to light the way as you walked to the cemetery of the first vampire slave.

You turned your head to see if you could see Bakura's eyes. Kaiba stabbed so you could feel pain but not hard enough to draw blood. You fell to your knees and turned to face forward. Getting up you glanced behind you again. Bakura's eyes were filled with compassion to help you; even though he couldn't, he tried to get away by tripping Joey. He fell and Yami struck Bakura causing him fall to the ground for about the tenth time. Joey stood up.

"Don't even try…honcho! Ya ain't gettin away from me or my best friend Yami!" He spat it out like he was talking to an old dog. As they say, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Kaiba once again ignored the intermission of a couple of seconds and growled, "Keep walking!" you obeyed like he was your master and started to walked again. You couldn't tell how Bakura got up but guessing, he probably got help from Yami and Joey while Kaiba wasn't looking. You didn't know why, but they obeyed both Kaiba and Bakura. They seemed to be on both sides. You didn't know at the time, but they were only playing along with Kaiba.

You kept walking before Kaiba struck you in the back for no reason. You turned around, "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" you stared at Kaiba as Joey and Yami came up behind him. Bakura still was bound, but that didn't keep him from yelling at Kaiba after you.

"IF YOU TOUCH HER AGAIN! I'LL KILL YOU!" Bakura tried to lunge, but Joey and Yami held him down.

Kaiba stared at you without turning to Bakura, "To answer your question ___. WE have two hours and to kill the mangy slime ball, we have to make it before 11:30." He finished while turning to face Bakura.

"Since I can't kill you till midnight, I won't do anything to you. But if you make an outburst like that, I'll make sure you will die and never return!" He turned back to you. "Walk." His voice dripped of icy water.

~o~o~o~

The graveyard was thick with fog as you entered. Gravestones were huge with angels as taller that the normal human. The regular half oval gravestone was seen every once in a while when you looked around.

Huge crosses were taller than Kaiba as you watched him walk passed one behind you. You knew where the grave was, since it was your own. 5000 years ago you were buried in your home land after you were killed with a stake through the heart by a mortal. Bakura took you here and buried his slave by himself.

You turned around and looked at Bakura. His faced showed all. He remembered everything that happened 5000 years ago, while you were left with only nightmares to comfort you on the past. (a/n: HA comfort…that is not comfort! Comfort is pink bunnies in the meadow with wild flowers! *smiles dreamily* *gets hit in the head by a camera* OK BAk to the story!*)

You shivered from the quick look back and turned around again before Kaiba caught you. `He's acting like he owns me…like I am his slave and Bakura too! And HE IS OUR KING!' you got jabbed while you snapped out of your thoughts and kept walking towards one particular grave of yours. You stopped in front of it.

The grave was barely even readable to the eye. Dirt and ivy covered the large square six foot gravestone with the same writing on all four sides of the stone. Bakura was thrown to the ground of the grave. "Tie him to the grave." Kaiba barked the order and Yami and Joey did as they were told.

Kaiba walked over to you and threw you to the ground, "Stay here. Any movements, you'll die within a second." Joey and Yami walked over to the gravestone where Bakura had his hands tied around the stone and couldn't move. Kaiba stood watch over you.

You stayed to the ground as you watched the moon rise into the sky and made it to the eleven-fifty mark. You started to get scared…what it would feel like to become a mortal again. You were staring at Bakura as your thoughts raced inside your head, trying to scan each one.

~ [Bakura's thoughts] ~

[I should've never bitten her from the day I saw her.] He looked over at you from the stone with a sad look on his face. He noticed your blank stare at him and looked away. He bent his head in shame as you looked as the ground; guilt and humiliation drowned him while waiting for his own demise. [I love you with all my heart ___....that's why I am doing this.] He paused…tears were slowly developing. [That's it! I can't believe I didn't' see this before… The third bite was supposed to be followed by the second no longer than two weeks. She IS turning mortal….the contact between us, was making the transformation go quicker…] he sighed, still staring at the ground, finding it very interesting at the moment. [And its all my fault…] he looked back up at you with sorrow covering his whole face.

~ Back to you ~

Somehow you knew, deep down that you were changing. It was as if you could hear his thoughts….You were staring at Bakura watching his sorrow look and maintained your gaze as he looked back at you. You caught a glimpse of wetness in his eyes as he watched you. You couldn't stand it anymore…you tried to stand but Kaiba pushed you back down. `DANG you!' you sat and watched as Joey went up to Bakura and cut his arm. He let the ground become imbrued by the vial fluid flowing down his arm; the landscape look like it hasn't even been watered in years, let alone blooded

You watched as Bakura winced from the pain and did nothing to stop the blood shed. `Sanguinary for the first vampire has begun…' (a/n: I didn't even know what I meant till I looked it up/sanguinary: eager for blood shed.) You watched as the time seem to click every second that went bye.

"Joey bite him…I'll do the rest at midnight." Kaiba smirked as Joey went up the Vampire lord, which would be no more in five minutes.

Bakura's scream never left his mouth as the passing minutes went bye. Joey stepped back and watched as Kaiba approached him.

You were free…that very moment you were free for a minute-in-a-half seconds to save the one you love. You took this time to stand and run towards Bakura before it was too late. "Stop her." Kaiba barked his last order before he raised the sword stake. He didn't even look behind him while raised the silver killer. He just knew that you were after him. One minute was left….Yami and Joey grabbed you as you were about to pounce Kaiba. Forty-five seconds… You had to do something and fast….Forty seconds…You struggled against the two vampires; your strength was weak against them. Turning mortal wasn't easy. Thirty-one seconds… `Come on think! THINK!' You were screaming bloody murder! Twenty seconds… `THINK!' Twenty-eight… `Come ON!!' It hit…it hit you hard. Joey and Yami weren't even trying anymore. They saw the beads in your eyes; they saw the love and compassion for the man. Twenty seconds… They saw the struggle in your heart; they couldn't take it anymore. Fifteen seconds… They let their grip loosen at the same time. `NOW!' Ten… You slipped from their grip…Nine… You broke into a run as Kaiba was raising the stake higher now, Eight… , and slowly bringing it down to meet its target. Your heart was pounding in your throat…Seven… `One step closer!' Six…Kaiba was bringing the stake down faster…Five…. `Three more steps!' Four… `Two more!' Three… `Please let me make it!' TWO… Kaiba seemed to bring the stake down at all costs….O-N-E!
