K: Well, we just rented "Blood: The Last Vampire" yesterday, and decided it's okei, for what it is…. Saya's pretty tight…. She looks like Lara Croft, Tomb Raider…. ^^;; (Only with 2 braids of shorter length, of course!)

Y: Anyhoo, we decided to write a crossover that's most likely never been done before…. We tend to do that a lot, ne?

K: And now, without further adieu- Shadows of the Night!

Disclaimer: We dun own either series… If we did, we'd understand what the hell's up with Saya…. They never DO explain what's going on….. *grumble under their breath*

Warnings: Blood and gore, foul language, and future shounen ai….

Shadows of the Night:

Part I: The Girl With the Soulless Eyes

Yuugi blinked as the new girl took a seat beside him, the one directly by the window. Sensei had said her name was Saya, and that she would be attending classes here for the next month or so. She'd recently transferred over from a school on an American military base, but apparently, she was fluent in both English and Japanese. It was strange to have someone new at this time of the year, but, the boy supposed, it didn't really matter. She was here now, and that's all there was to it.

            As the teacher began the class, Yuugi quietly slipped a note onto Saya's desk. The brunette stared down at it, then raised an eyebrow at the shorter teen. What the hell was he doing? Yuugi smiled, motioning for her to read it.

            Rolling her eyes, she scanned the note:

Ohayo! Boku wa Mutou Yuugi desu. Hajimemashite, Saya-san! ^^

            The girl growled in annoyance, but replied to the letter anyway. Folding it up again, she placed it on the violet-eyed boy's desk quicker than you could bat an eyelash. The other blinked as he turned his gaze from the teacher back to his desk, finding the note back in his possession. He skimmed the slip of paper, eyes widening in confusion at her reply:

Nigeru daze… Just leave me alone…..

            He frowned, concern showing clearly in his innocent eyes, and Saya, noting his gaze, met them with a glare. The boy gazed deep into the crimson pools, finding nothing but a faint tinge of sadness that disappeared as quickly as it came. The ruby gems were dull, soulless; not a speck of light within them.

            Yuugi shivered, then turned back to the front. What could've forced her to grow to be that cold?

~*~

            /Fool./ Saya thought as the final bell rang, /He should just learn to mind his own damn business…./

            After first meeting the boy, she'd had to deal with his ever-caring nature. Since she was new here, the sensei had asked someone with the same class schedule to show her around. Only 3 students had her schedule, and the only one to volunteer had been Yuugi. Thus, she was stuck following him around like a…. a…. child!

            A low growl rumbled in her throat. No way in hell was David getting out of this one….. It was bad enough she had to go undercover as a student again. Just because she was eternally in her teens didn't mean she had to act like one!

/AND WHAT THE HELL IS THIS OUTFIT?!/

She pulled at the collar of her jacket in disgust; always with the damn uniforms!! And this one was even worse than the last! The top was a sickening pink, a bright blue bow in the center, with a short blue skirt that looked like it never should've passed the dress code. She felt like one of those strippers down at the slums!

She mentally sighed; it had never been like this back in 1892….. Then, any skirt that reached above the knees was considered inappropriate…. Of course, it was harder to chase down chiropterans with all that material in the way…

In any case, it's not like she could change all that- she was a vampire, not a miracle worker….

/Besides…/ she thought, watching Yuugi pack up his things. /It could be worse, right? At least he's not a chiropteran…./

Ugh- just thinking of being helped by the enemy made her gag…

~*~

Meanwhile, a second pair of crimson eyes stared at the 2 from the furthest corner of the room. They seemed to hold a slight flicker of mirth as they passed over Yuugi, who was having a bit of trouble hefting his backpack onto his shoulder. Their owner kept them there for a while, then passed over Saya.

The instant the figure caught sight of the long navy case by her side, his eyes narrowed, and he frowned. There was something about her that put him on edge- and it wasn't the wonderfully crafted katana he knew lie within the blue tube. This girl reeked of aged blood; blood whose type he recognized immediately.

The blood of a meta-vampire….. The blood of a chiropteran….. The enemy….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

K: Oooh… Who's the mysterious figure? How does he know the existence of the chiropterans?

Y: Why does he have his eye on Yuugi? *nudge nudge, wink wink*

K: Anyhoo, those who've seen "Blood: The Last Vampire" should know what the hell we're talking about, and those who haven't are probably lost beyond all reason… (Like Ryouga Hibiki! ^^;;) If you can, rent it or buy it so you can understand all this better!! ^-~

Y: If you can't do that, at least review and tell us if you want more, ne? We have to write this while we still have the DVD to get info. from…. ^^;; Or just go to the movie website at http://www.bloodthemovie.com .

Both: Ja!
