Hope in the Shadows

Guess who?

Hi, me again! Sorry I didn't update sooner but first I got sick and then my computer glitched or something and destroyed what I had done. AGAIN! Why does my computer hate me? :'(

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yugioh Zexal. But I will always own this story.

Anyway, in the last chapter we learned a little about Shark's " normal " life at the Elite Head Quarters before the were attacked by a large swarm of vampires. Now on with the story!

I glimpse a vampire, probably a Necrophile, start to attack Marin from behind as she fights off three other vampires attacking her from the front and I scream for her to look out but I'm not sure if I screamed in time. I have to turn away from her to fight the vampires that have started swarming me and as I'm fighting I hear the sickening sound of claws tearing threw flesh. I finish off the vampires in front of me and turn around to see the Necrophile's claws buried deep into someone's chest. I then see Marin sitting on the floor staring inn shock at the person who had pushed her out of the way to save her life. At first I am shocked by how selfless this person was to give up his life for another, that is until I hear an oddly familiar laugh. Oh no not him. any one but him!

I risk taking a closer look at the his face and unfortunately it was Mist. That insane smile and laughter that I've learned to recognize from the months of Living with Yuma and the twins seems to somehow echo over the fighting. He then grabs the Necrophile's claw and rips it out of his own chest so that there's a gaping hole that heals itself immediately. He then says in a bored tone, " Is that all you've got? How pathetic. " He then forms his hands into claws of his own and cuts it's head off and then starts doing the same with other vampires.

I then see Durbe surrounded by eight different vampires all at once and obviously being over powered, but he was all the way over on the other side of the room and with all the vampires in the way I knew I could never get to him in time. I thought Durbe was done for when I saw what looked like a glowing blue blur tear threw all of the vampires. Once the blur slow downs a little after killing the groups of vampires I can see a glimpse of what the blur really is. What I see is Astral with what looks like a all glowing blade in his hand before he speeds off to go after other vampires, that glowing blade was probably one of those " souls weapons " that Yuma had told me about earlier. Then I suddenly had a realization, If Astral and Mist are here then . . . . . But before I could finish my thought I heard Alit scream, " Look out! "

The Vampire was right on top of me with no time for me to dodge or counter attack. I had thought that it was the end for me when I saw a large blade cut the vampire in half fro its left shoulder to its right hip. I was in shock when after the two body parts fell to the ground to reveal Yuma with a large black Scythe, cloak made completely of shadows and an annoyed look on his face. That's when I suddenly realized how he knew so much about the Noblesse and the Eternals, it was because he WAS the Noblesse and rightful ruler. That must mean he also stayed locked up in that cave to hide from the other Eternals hunting him.

I probably would have just kept going on like that if if Yuma hadn't slapped me in the face and stared screaming, " Damn it shark snap out of it! Your friends need you! " I looked at him in shock for a little while but ultimately realized he was right, so I got up and started fighting with all I was taught while training with Yuma and the twins and started killing vampires non stop. A couple hours later We manage to kill all the vampires, well all but one.

Yuma and the twins now sitting on the couch with me , Yuma's cloak and scythe having magically disappeared, after telling everyone what happened in the last six months. everyone is looking at us in disbelief, except Marin who also knew Yuma ans is glad to see hi okay, well as okay as a Eternal can be. Most of the people there want to simply kill him and get it over with, a few want to experiment on him and the twins. I don't know what to do to stop them because I'm only one person, even with Marin's help it wouldn't be enough. Yuma looks perfectly calm as he says, " How about we make a little deal. "

From the looks on their faces I guess that they were interested in what he thought he had to offer. " You don't try to do anything to hurt me or the twins and let us stay here, can't have kids growing up in a cave right? And in return I can give you a lot more information on vampires, we can help train new members so that they have a better chance at survival, and protection from in any further attacks being how we've already saved three members during the swarm. "
The captain thought it over for quite sometime before finally sighing and saying, " Alright you have a deal. " Saying that everyone was shocked was a huge understatement since most people had wide eyes and mouths hanging open. " We'll set up a room for you three immediately. "

Yuma just waved him off saying, " There's no need for that. We can just sleep in Shark's room. " He said putting his arm around my shoulder. " Just like old times right Shark? " Again everyone looks shocked. That was all about a year ago. Sure a lot of people were kind of cautious around Yuma and the twins but warmed up to them eventually, but less so with Mist. Life is pretty peaceful now as we all work together to kill all the vampires, well peaceful except for one thing.

" Hi there Sharkie ~ " Says Vector as I walk by, but before I can say or do anything about it Yuma comes out of seemingly nowhere and Kicks Vector in the back and knocks him down.

Yuma then points down at Vector on the ground and screams, " No! Shark is my nickname for him and you're not allowed to say it let alone make fun of it! Let's go Shark! " Yuma then starts dragging me away by my arm. Nothing ruins the peace like a jealous vampire boyfriend. " Eternal not vampire! " Yuma says in annoyance. " God dammit Yuma! Stop reading my mind!

AN: Sorry everyone that was the last chapter. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Don't forget to review!
