Hope in the Shadows

Not what it seems

Hi everyone, me again. I know I said I wouldn't put anything up after I reached 168 reads I reconsidered. But no reviews this time means short one next chapter.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yugioh Zexal. Mostly because the world hates me.

Previously Ryoga went to kill a group of weak vampires called Neophytes when a strong vampire called a Necrophile attacked him. He as injured and thought he was dead until he woke up and came face to face with a vampire Yuma.

I didn't know what to do at a time like this. I just kept screaming over and over again in my head " No! This couldn't be right! Yuma was dead not a vampire! " As awful as it was to admit I would rather have him dead then be one of those disgusting monsters. The whole time I was screaming in my mind he was just sitting there watching me. It looked like he was trying to keep a calm and collected expression but he was showing obvious signs of growing impatience and annoyance at the length of my little episode.

After a while I forced myself to calm down in fear of what this new Yuma would do if I really reach the limit of his patience. To try and keep my mind off of the fear I tried to focus on other things like the details of what was around me. Trying to look at anything around me accept for the with my surroundings. I noticed that we were in some sort of underground cavern with small glittering gems embedded in the walls. It may have actually been a dormant volcano because I saw what looked like lava pockets on the ceiling of the cavern that created an artificial light that lit up the gems.

As much as I tried though I just couldn't keep my eyes away from him for too long. After a little while of tying to fight the urge I finally gave into my morbid curiosity to look at the monster that my friend had become. What really shocked me was if not for a few minor things he would probably look a lot like he did before. He wore simple black sweat pants and t-shirt with a thick red hoodie. His hair instead of its usual spikes was jumping out in all directions and looked unmanageable as though he hadn't brushed it the whole time he was thought to be actually dead. The biggest thing that showed what he was now a vampire was that his normally bright red eyes were now a deep blood red color.

But one thing really bothered me about them, they weren't glowing like that of a normal Neophyte or Necrophile. And his pupils were large and round like a normal human's as well. He suddenly seemed to be aware that I was looking at him because he gave me one of those demon looking smirks like he did when I first woke up. But one thing was obviously missing. The vampire fang that was showing last time he did it was gone too. What the hell was going on here?
I started to panic all over again, which between you and me was NOT a very good idea. Seeing me start to relapse into my earlier behavior seemed to blast right through what little patience he had left. Before I knew it he screamed out in frustration and then jumped in my face before he started screaming at me, " God dammit Shark! If I was going to eat you or something don't you think I would have done it by now? Unless you think I'm some kind of psycho that enjoys watching you freak out?" He suddenly let out a long sigh and raised one of his hands saying, " On second thought, don't answer that. "

To be honest I'm surprised I was able to pay attention to what he was saying. Mostly because the whole time that he was screaming at me I couldn't stop staring at his face ass his eyes started to glow a menacing red with snake like slits as huge, sharp fangs curled all the way down to his bottom lip. But then when he calmed down they just seemed to disappear into thin air as though they never existed in the first place. Before I could stop to think about what I was saying I asked, " What are you? " This seemed to amuse him because that awful grin returned to his face wider than before, if that was even possible. I'm not sure why but that smile, if you can call it that, made me feel I wasn't going to like the answer he was going to give me.

Well that's all for now. This time someone, just one person, pleas post a review.
