Chapter 10: Broken Promises in a Broken World

-

It was cold bitter night and Seto Kaiba stood by the window of grand bedroom that he had stayed in for the last month, it was one month that he had stayed in this prison that he secretly became thankful for because it was in this that he got to get closer to the very girl that imprisoned him here. He had held no ill will towards her; he only had the deepest and most sincere love for that woman. He wiped away any leftover trances of the tears that continue to pour out her blue eyes. He never cried for anyone but the fact that she couldn't herself to love him or the fact that he couldn't help her escape this tragedy was too much for him. He wanted so badly to help her, his sympathy ran deeper than any river could but there was nothing he could do for her now. He was going to his world now and that meant she wasn't going to be in it.

"Are you ready?" asked Anzu, standing in the doorway, leaning against the wooden frame. Shizuka had asked him to take her back because she wasn't feeling very well which she knew meant she secretly didn't want to see this man go.

"Yeah but where's Yami? I would to say goodbye to him first…if that's alright" he said slowly turning around to face her. She was taken back by the cold gloomy stare of icy eyes. She didn't understand why he so affected by this? Wasn't this his wish?

"Yami went to Paris to visit an old friend, he said he'll be back tomorrow…he doesn't know you're leaving but I'll pass on the message…we should be going, we don't anyone to see us"

He nodded and sighed. He walked out the door and glanced back at the room once more. His sorrow grew even more. This was the last time he would see this room, he never thought he would miss this place as much as would but he did. He shook his head and followed Anzu down the long hallway. It was the most agonizing walk he had ever taken, his body grew heavy with guilt and shame but he never falter. His icy demeanor held his ground and was never shook.

Anzu glanced back with piercing blue eyes but shivered once she gazed into them. They weren't like hers even her demonic vampire presence had taken them over but them glazed over like ice, his were the most intense she had ever seen, there was tenderness of any kind. There was more hatred if anything, maybe even bitterness.

'Shizuka, why doing this? Why are you tormenting his heart along with your own?' she thought.

They approached the front door leading to the outside. They both walked over to the black Bentley in the driveway and got into the car. As Anzu got prepared to leave, Kaiba looked up through the tinted glass of luxury automobile into one of the many windows of the mansion; he saw a small figure of a woman, a woman that happened to Shizuka. He watched her looked down at them as if she was staring right into his very eyes. He simply shook his head and looked down at the ground to prevent any more tears from falling.

The two brunettes drove off into the misty darkness of the night with Shizuka still looking out at them. If he would've only stayed a few minutes longer, he would've seen the same crystal blue tears pouring out of her eyes as well.

'Please forgive me Seto but your heart deserves better than me, a helpless prisoner of the damned'

"Isis, why are you giving Shizuka these visions" asked Yami curiously, leaning forward in the armchair of the lavish Parisian apartment overlooking the enchanting city. He didn't understand Isis motives behind tampering with Shizuka's emotions but than again, he didn't understand Isis at all sometimes.

"Tell me…did you the story of how her and Bakura became to be?"

"Well from what I know, Bakura turned her after picking her up on the street but then that's where the story turns weird…I know turned vampires reach the brick of insanity at first but I've really known any to kill at first sight and it as then she told me she killed her brother and his girlfriend, after that she came to live with us" he explained.

"I think it's time we heard the real story…the truth is I grew rather suspicious of Bakura around that, he seemed he was back to his old sinister ever since he killed her brother Ryou, he should have executed since it is a great sin to kill a fellow vampire but Lord Ahmad took sympathy on him for reasons I don't know…I started spying on him and noticed he was tracking a young girl named Shizuka Kawaii, a rather beautiful girl but that tracking as I soon learned turned into a deadly obsession and he longed her" she said and paused to take a drink from her glass of fine red wine.

"I decided to do some research on the girl and I found out something rather interesting…at this time, Yata no kagami had went missing and when I found her, she possessed the mirror but to her it was a family heirloom that she put in her room but…not only had this girl possessed the mirror but she was spiritually connected to the mirror meaning as long as stayed pure, the mirror couldn't be touched by the hands of evil meaning Bakura however should her heart become tainted, darkness will be let to cause harm so Bakura simply wanted until the opportunity was right"

"So why did he let her kill her brother?" asked Yami.

"It would only make her more bitter and cold thus the mirror would remained tainted, he knew that if she believed that she killed her brother out of an act of pure rage than she would never be able to forgive herself"

"So he only keeps her for the mirror?"

"Partly, remember I told he had grew obsessed with her and had a dark fondness of her…he wanted her for himself"

"That bastard, how could he do that to her?

"I'm afraid the worst is yet to come, I've had premonition about the events that will take place, soon hell will come on Earth and two souls will be sacrificed…Yami, you have to protect that human and Shizuka at all cost, the jewel will appear itself to you in due time" she said.

Yami's eyes widened in fear of her warning; he didn't want anything to happen to his friends. He immediately got up and prepared himself for departure.

"One last thing Yami" she said as Yami looked through the corner of his amethyst eyes.

"What ever you do, don't let them know about your Lord Ahmad's grandson…Bakura may decide to throw a curve ball at us if he knows about your gift"

He sighed and smirked. "Don't worry only Anzu know my lineage, I promise I won't let you down"

The car stopped in front of doors of the Kaiba Mansion. Kaiba looked at his house with eyes of relief and despair. He didn't he would ever come back to these walls but at the time, he almost wished he could walk into his home with her on his arm but would only be dream. Anzu glanced at him and sadden expression formed on her face. She may have not liked humans but some reason she felt deepest sympathy. She needed to say something; he at least deserved that much from her.

"…I may not know why but…I know how you feel about her…and I know how she feels about you" she said. He immediately shot his eyes towards the female vampire with a questioning glare.

"Please give her time; even though we crave for light when you've been submitted to dark for so long, it can be scary to reach it for the first time"

He stared at her intensely for a few moments and slowly leaned towards the door and exited the car. He turned once again to face her and bend down to face her through the car window.

"Thank you" he whispered and walked into the house. Anzu looked at the tall CEO disappear into the walls of the mansion and drove off into the night where she belonged. She hoped her friend could some sense to confront her fears and give into the true love she has for this man.

Meanwhile Seto stood in the living room, looking around as though this was the first time he had ever stepped into this house but things were so unfamiliar. He was once again the CEO of Kaiba Corp.

"Seto?!"

He heard a child's voice and his head shot up to the stairs and saw his little Mokuba looking down at him with pure happiness and tears in his eyes. He gave a sincere smile also happy to see his brother again.

"Hey kid" he said in a whisper.

"Seto!!" he shouted running down the stairs. Seto met him at the base and gave him a hug, holding him tightly. He could tell Mokuba had a rough time being by himself for so long. It only made Kaiba sad about his actions.

"I'm so happy your back big brother! I miss you so much!" Mokuba cried onto his shoulder.

"Me too" he replied back softly but secretly a part of him wished that Shizuka was here with him and not in the place that held his fallen angel prisoner.

It would one week now since his departure. Shizuka looked that window everyday almost his face would appear in the clouds. She knew she shouldn't be in the sun for so long, it could be dangerous for vampire especially a vampire in her state but she didn't care. She had to let him go. She didn't want to hurt him anymore then she already has. She didn't want her heart to be broken for the second time.

"Don't think so hard, you may hurt yourself" said Bakura, creeping up on her suddenly. His pale hands rest on her shoulders and face nuzzled her delicate neck. He knew it had been a while since he had her but that would change today.

"Bakura…I need to ask you something" she said and turned around to face him.

"What is it? He asked with his hand still on her cheek.

"Will you…will you always be there for me? Like you said you would?"

Bakura was taken back by her question. Was she started to doubt him? All because of a human? He couldn't allow this to go any farther.

"Shizuka, why would such a meaningless question? I'm here aren't I? That proves it" he said, his voice masked the deceit in his eyes.

'He gave the exact answer I thought he would; I only have one more thing left to do then' she thought.

She embraced him while kissing softly. He soon dominated the kiss turning it into a surge of pure rough passion. His hands traced the outlines of her body and a chill of passion passed turned her and let out a moan of satisfaction.

"Bakura, I need you please" she cried.

He gave into her wishes and began to rid themselves of their clothes and lay on the sheets. His kisses trailed down her small petite body. He toyed with perfect round breast, killing her slowly. She moaned, wanting him to ravish her. She needed to rid the tension in her heart and this was the only solution she could think of.

He finally reached her treasure and began his torture, his tongue exploring every inch of her. He could sense she was slowly dying from his attacks but that only aroused him even more. After what seemed like an eternity, he stopped before she could reach her climax. He went up to hover over her and face her as he went down and attacked her lips and whispered in her ear.

"You belong to me"

She felt her mind go blank and her body freeze. Those words were deadly to her and she felt her mind completely shut down. She belonged to him. She was his possession.

He abruptly pushed his member roughly into her. She moaned loudly as her body rocked back and forth to his brutal attack. He pounded her into the bed, grunting with each hard thrust as his pace got faster as time went on. He never made soft, passionate love to her. That kind of sex didn't exist for them ever.

"Oh Bakura! Ahhhhhhh!" she screamed.

To be honest, she didn't feel that much pleasure. She only screamed and moaned to make it look like she was enjoying being his toy. A typical game between them that went on forever and it was then a realization hit her. She didn't want this life anymore and she couldn't even remember that last time she did. As they both reach their climax, he collapsed on top of her and fell under deep sleep almost immediately. She continued to just lie there lifelessly. Tears began to run down her cheeks. She could only about the human that captivated her heart and she wanted him back. She wanted to share this act with him. She closed her eyes and tried to go to sleep.

"At last you have realized the truth"

"Why do you still taunt me, he's not here anymore, I'll never see him again"

"Oh you will and you have finally opened the door"

"The door"

"It was the one thing I was trying to tell you through these visions, to show you your unhappiness in this realm of darkness, Shizuka, you were never meant to be here"

"That's what you wanted to show me? Then why did you show me Seto?" she asked.

"You were two people that caught by darkness and lifted each other"

"But I sent him away, how can I face him?"

Suddenly a dark figure walked out and faced her wearing a black cloak. The figure took the hood from their head and a beautiful exotic woman appeared before her.

"Shizuka, you have to face your last fear before you can finally break free of the darkness, it will be difficult but I knew you get through it"

"Who are you?"

"My name is Isis, I am priestess that long ago helped the vampire seal off a great curse, Shizuka, I gave these visions to help you, and Bakura only wishes to use you"

"Bakura…only used me" she said sadly.

"Shizuka, I must take my leave but I will leave you with a warning, please don't be fooled any memory of your past and go to the man you love"

"Thank you Isis"

"You must be careful, after this night, things will change but you must decide will it be for the worst or not"
