Hope in the Shadows

You Decide

AN: It's me again. Thanks to those who have read my story. Why didn't anyone tell me about disclaimers? I found out about them reading other fan fictions. So now I added them to my previous chapters and will be doing it from now on. P.S., Special message at the end of the chapter.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yugioh Zexal. Mostly because it's a cruel world we live in.

Previously in the story Ryoga went to help a little girl and him and Yuma were attacked by a vampire and Yuma is probably dead.

" Shark! Shark wake up! You have to wake up! " I heard a worried voice calling to me. A voice that sounded strangely familiar. Slowly I started to open my eyes to see who was calling me. Leaning over me Yuma with his beautiful red eyed staring right into mine. Those eyes red as blood. Suddenly that night's event started storming into my head. The little girl, the monsters, ... Yuma's lifeless body on the ground covered in wounds.

" Yuma? But your dead! Does this mean I'm dead too?! " I looked at Yuma who just shook his head.

" No your not dead shark but you will be soon if you don't wake up." All i could do was stare at him in confusion. What was he talking about 'If i don't wake up?'

" But Yuma I'm already awake." Yuma just stared at me sadly for a while.

" No you're not Shark. This is all just an illusion."

" 'An illusion?' You mean I'm dreaming? You? All of this?" Yuma started fidgeting and looking away from me as though trying to figure out how much to tell me.
It wouldn't be that bad if I never woke up. I'd get to stay here forever with Yuma. I looked at Yuma and he gave a strange look I've never seen on his fave before. I think he was angry. I mean yeah I've seen him angry before but not at I could try asking what was wrong he started screaming at me.

" Shark don't even think about it! You are bot throwing your life away for someone who is already gone! Did you even think of your sister Marin!? You're the only family she has left! " As much as I hated to admit it Yuma was right. Since our parents died in a car crash a few years back all we had was each other. I started crying, feeling I was going to lose Yuma forever. Seeing me cry must have got to him, because in the blink of an eye he became the old Yuma again. "Hey don't cry Shark, I promise we'll meet again. Sooner then you think."

And with that I woke up in a strange room, in a large dull blue bed made to match the wall paper. A man about in his thirties with short brown hair came into my room wearing some odd blue uniform. "Your awake. Good."

" Where am I? And what exactly is going on? " And with that he explained everything to me. About how his name was Jack Flannigan and how he was part of an organization known as the Elite that was formed to destroy vampires, though few were very much real and kept secret to the public to stop them from panicking. There were actually two kinds of vampires, Neophytes which were basically animal instincts like the ones that were in the park and Necrophiles which are the few that are stronger, faster, smarter, and a lot more dangerous. I asked him if Yuma was going to become one of them since one killed him but he told that the only way for someone to become a vampire was to get the vampires blood into their system and wait three days for them to rise. There was no blood found in Yuma's system but they still watched his grave for five days to be sure.

That was three years ago. Now I'm one of the best soldiers in the Elite fighting side by side with Flannigan, my sister, and all the others at the head quarters. Working to get revenge on the monsters that killed the person I cared about most and took him away from me. Every now and then and then I would have dreams like the one after Yuma was attacked except a little different. He would always be hiding in the shadows saying ' Not yet. ' Except tonight. Tonight he said ' It's time. ' What does it mean?

I reported downstairs to Flannigan for my next mission." So what do I have today? " Flannigan handed me a folder.
" Looks like a group of Neophytes has gathered at some abandoned cabin. Orders are to kill on sight. " I went to the garage of HQ to grab my motorcycle and was off.

The place was just like Flannigan said. Some old rotting cabin in the middle of nowhere. I had to hurry though it was almost dark and they would be waking up soon. I was able t o quickly kill most of them with one to go, I was just about to stab it through the heart When it grabbed my wrist and threw me against the wall. But how, there was still some daylight! Unless, this was a Necrophile? I tried to fight it off with the sword I kept on my back but it was no use. In what felt like seconds I was on the ground bleeding to death from its claws tearing through my chest. Looks looks Yuma kept his promise after all.

" Shark, time to wake up! Shark! " Was i dreaming again? I opened my eyes and saw a pair of red eyes above me. they looked like Yuma's but there was something ... different about them.
" Yuma? " All I got was a little 'hmmm' in response as I still tried to place the difference. I looked at his face to try to see if that held any answer. And what I saw first stopped my search immediately. In place of Yuma's usual goofy smile was a dark smirk to one side of his face exposing a long sharp fang. That's when I realized this wasn't a dream, a Yuma was a vampire.

AN: Now it's your turn to help with the story. Til my next update I will be accepting everyone's opinion of what vampire Yuma should wear and act like. After a few days I will take all opinions into consideration and start the next chapter. you can send me a picture if you want so I know exactly what you mean. P.S. because I want ideas no ideas, no chapter. So comment or review or whatever.
