A/N: Set in the same time as it is in the show (if that makes sense)

Chapter:1
POV…third
~Dream~
Young 6 year-old Yusei Fudo was strapped to a silver lab table, surrounded by a macabre scene filled with blood and body pieces that once belonged to live vampiric monsters known as Yoma; the scene made his stomach flip and he could begin to taste his last meal come back up. The taste of spoil fruit and lamb, mixed with stomach acid flooded his mouth; avoiding throwing up, he swallowed hard and attempted to calm his nerves.

Half a dozen dark figures loomed over him as he trembled violently; one of them placed some form of bag over his head. A sweet smell filled his nose, he knew what it was; struggling not to breathe it in, he pulled and thrashed at his restraints, but no luck. A hard fist connected with his stomach forcing him to gasp, and breathe in the sweet smell once again. Darkness gripped his consciousness as a sharp object pierced his chest; an ear-splitting scream tore from his throat. With his strength quickly diminishing, he pulled and thrashed again at the strapping, but quickly fell into darkness.
~End Dream~

Eighteen-year-old Yusei woke from his sleep, to the sound of someone screaming, a woman. He stood up in the dark dank enclosed forest, throwing his black sleeveless shirt on and his long black trench coat. Grabbing his claymore and running in the direction of the scream.

He reached a small clearing, which held a familiar stench of…Yoma; eyeing his surroundings, he saw a girl pinned to the ground and a large creature licking her neck. From what Yusei could see, she had a small gash on her right arm, and her clothing slightly torn. He didn't wait a minute longer, he drew his claymore and charged at the fiend at an inhumane speed; slashing his sword at the beasts head and slicing straight through it.

Blood splatted everywhere as the beast fell limp on the small figure beneath it; whimpering sounds came from the small form beneath. Yusei walked over to the dead body, pushing it off to the side; he stared in awe at the girl laying on the ground shaking in fear; she looked about seventeen. Her long magenta hair was a slight mess, but still complemented her beauty perfectly. From what he could see, she was wearing dark blue jeans, black converse shoes, a rose red tank top and a black jacket, stained with some blood. He held out his hand as a gesture, saying that he wanted to help; the girl stared at the man before her, and gasped. She scrambled as far away from Yusei as she could get; the girl squeaked when her back touched something solid. Glancing behind her, she saw a large tree cutting off her escape; returning her gaze back to Yusei, she trembled even more violently then before.

Yusei smiled, he slowly approached her; leaving a meter or so in distance between him and her, he knelt down in front of her, "Don't be afraid of me girl." He stretched out his hand once again, but the girl attempted to shrink further away; she looked as though she were trying to meld with the tree. "You've obviously figured out what I am, haven't you," Yusei asked tenderly, not wanting to scare her even more as he inched his way closer; the girl hesitantly nodded in response, she diverted her gaze to the ground. "Trust me, I will not hurt you," Yusei paused, he gently but firmly grabbed the young girl's right arm; she gasped as she realised how close he had gotten.

POV change to first…the girl
I quickly glanced down at the ground, I looked back to his eyes, only to find that they had changed from their monstrous silver, to a beautiful ocean blue; 'H-how… could a monster have… such… beautiful eyes?' I thought. I quickly scanned the rest of him, he wore a black trench, pants, boots, gloves and shirt that had a red circular symbol on the front. His spikey raven hair shaped like a crab made me want to laugh. Yellow highlights ran along each spike. However, what was noticeable was a yellow tattoo on the left side of his face, a line trailed down his cheek like tear line and a little triangle that sat just at the corner of his eye.

"Trust me, I will not hurt you," his smooth baritone voice snapped me out of my trance; I jumped at feeling his hand gently grab my injured arm. I winced and tried to pull away, "Don't move, you'll only make it worse," he paused, "at least let me patch you up." I stared at him, 'He sounds…so…sincere,'I thought; I nodded in reply as he gently lifted my arm to inspect it.

POV change…Yusei
She tried pulling away, however I didn't quite understand why; there was absolutely no chance of her breaking my hold. I tried being as gentle as possible, but her resisting was making it hard; I tried to calm her, "Don't move, you'll only make it worse," I stopped and stared at her. I realised that her eyes were beautiful scorching amber, but something told me they would be a lot more beautiful if she weren't so scared, "at least let me patch you up."
"Y-you're a Claymore …" she gulped.
"No…that's the name you humans thrust upon us," I retorted, I hate that name, being called a silver-eyed monster by the people who you protect; "My name's Yusei."

The girl stared at me in bewilderment, "What?" I asked, she didn't answer. I looked at her wound, it looked a lot worse than what I thought; just as I reached back to grab a bandage I remembered I had left my bag at my camp, I cursed under my breath. "Um…I'll tend to your wound back at my camp," as I said this she tensed; her fear intensified. "Wrap your arms around my neck." She froze, "You need help, and seeing as there's no one else around," I paused, seeing her relax, but only a little, "You'll just have to trust me." She complied with my request and snaked her arms around my neck as I lifted her up bridal style and headed back to my camp.

A few minutes later, we reached my campsite; I placed her down against a tree and grabbed my hand woven bag. I cleaned her wound then wrapped it with a bandage; I grabbed a canteen of water and some meat, wrapped in paper and handed it to her. She looked at it for few moments, and then set her gaze back at me, "It's safe to eat, I promise." She nodded and began to feast. I watched her eat all the meat, and drink all of the water; "Hungry and thirsty, are we?" I grinned. She swallowed the last of the meat, I figured now would be the best time to ask her a few questions; "So…what's your name?" She didn't answer, "As I said before, you don't need to fear me girl."
"A-Akiza," she quietly muttered.
"That's a beautiful name; do you know what it means?" She shook her head, "It means 'beautiful rose'" Akiza's eyes lit up at hearing what her name means; I smiled, "Come on," I said out stretching my hand to her once again, "do you have a family or a home?" Akiza shook her head; "Okay then, you can come with me until you find a city in which you would like to live in." She finally smiled, but as she did, she threw her arms around my neck and hugged me tightly.

POV change…Akiza
"You can come with me until you find a city in which you would like to live in," Yusei said tenderly; I smiled at him, feeling that for once in my pathetic life someone cared. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly; suddenly I felt him pat my head, I flinched and looked up at him, seeing him smile like he did, made me feel something. 'I think…I'm beginning to…like him…' I thought; I shook my head, to rid myself of that thought, 'No…he's a monster…just like them…'

POV change…Third
'I think… I'm beginning…like him…' thought Akiza; she shook her head, to purge herself of that thought, 'No…he's a monster…just like them…'
However, that moment didn't last; two dark creatures stood in the shadows, watching the two. Yusei sensed their presence, and immediately his eyes changed colour; he grasped his claymore and pushed Akiza gently as he spoke, "Akiza, whatever you do don't move, stay behind this tree" he paused and shot a quick glance to his left, and then to his right. The beasts revealed themselves from the shadows, showing tall grotesque monsters, blood dripping from their mouths, leaving small drops of blood as a trail.
"Crap!" Yusei cursed.
"Y-Yusei…" Akiza stuttered, clutching onto his arm for dear life; "the-they're a lot bigger than a normal Yoma."
"We call them Voracious Eaters, usually Yoma don't eat much; it's enough for them to eat the guts of a human once every week or two, but the longer they live, the bigger their appetites get and they become more cunning and stronger," Yusei muttered, preparing himself for a fight.

The creatures bared their teeth, revealing a mouthful of teeth, but two fangs protruded greatly; they lunged at the young Claymore, with outstretched hands, they aimed for Yusei's throat. Stepping to the left, he managed to dodge them, and with one swift motion of his arm, he lopped one of the beasts head clean off; blood spouted all over him as he readied himself for the next attack. The other Yoma howled angrily; moving at a quick pace, it charged at its enemy. Its fingers grew out until they reached about two meters.

Yusei dodged the first attack, but suddenly, a searing pain in his chest engulfed him, forcing a blood-curdling scream to rip from his throat.
"Yusei! No!" Akiza cried.
Glancing down he saw the monsters fingers passing straight through him as it lifted him off his feet; intensifying the pain he felt. Blood streamed from his wound, staining his shirt. Tightening his grip on his claymore, he plunged the blade through the beasts left eye, earning a howl of pure agony to escape the vampiric beast and to retract its fingers, dropping Yusei to the ground as it clutched onto its bleeding head.

Stumbling to his feet, Yusei regained a fighting stance, but lost it as he coughed and spluttered; spitting up blood mixed with saliva.

"Yusei!" Screamed Akiza, she tried to look at his eyes, but his raven black bangs hid them from sight. "St-stay back," ordered Yusei in a hoarse voice.

Finally gathering enough strength, the monster and Yusei prepared for their final round; one of them was going to die, and Yusei sure as hell wasn't going to let it be him. Gathering what strength he had left, he charged at the fiend; it swung its clawed hand at Yusei, forcing him to duck. Using this to his advantage, Yusei aimed the blade between its legs and brought the sword upwards, slicing the creature into perfect halves and causing more blood to splatter everywhere; he stared at the cadavers of the fiends and pools of blood.

All of a sudden, he began to fall. His adrenalin rush disappeared, replaced with unbearable pain. His vision became clouded, and he could feel darkness attempting to pry him away from the world of the living. "Yusei!" Akiza cried, she ran to his side, "Please, stay with me…please!" His spikey raven black hair was now drenched in his own blood, that had pooled around him.

POV change to…Yusei
All of a sudden I felt myself begin to fall, all of my adrenalin being replaced by agonising pain, my vision clouded and darkness pulled my consciousness away from reality. "Yusei!" Akiza's panicked voice broke through the darkness, "Please, stay with me…please!"
'She actually…cares…' I thought. I was losing my fight with the darkness, the last thing I heard before passing into complete darkness was Akiza's pleading voice, begging me not to die.
