A/N: I was thinking about Yuki's Angel. There are no Yuki's Angel fics, dammit! There should be, so I wrote one. Poor little guy, he was so cute! I also have a soft spot for angels, even fake ones. So I thought I'd pair him up with Cain for my own evil plot. Of course, as a rabid Cain X Shido fanatic, there's no way in hell I'm letting Cain give up on Shido, so relax. Yuki's Angel is going to be more of a pet than a lover... Heheh, perversion. Ain't it just great? Also, I haven't watched his episode for aaaages, so if I get any details wrong, other than the fact that he dies (Not in my story, dammit!), don't bother telling me because it's written now so there's nothing I can do about it. Well, I guess I could always change it, but I'm very lazy. Really. As for names, since I couldn't just keep calling him Yuki's Angel, I settled for Angel. Yeah, I know I could have been a bit more inventive, I have a whole list of angel names but none of them seem to suit him. So on that note enjoy, and don't forget to review! 
Added Note: I should explain the whole pendant thing... I've made up a couple of new rules just especially for this fic, aren't I nice? Namely, Yuki's Angel can die, but he'll just return after a few hours to wherever his pendant is. The only way to truly kill him is to destroy the pendant. Got that? ^_^

Keep Me

I've always hated the cold... It's freezing here. I can hardly bear it, now that I'm alone again. It's so cold... The wind is screaming through the trees and I can't help but shiver. All I can do is sit here, on this bench, and wait for whatever will happen to me. I don't know. It's foolish for a nightbreed to be afraid of the night, but I can't help it tonight. It reminds me of the dark, freezing abyss where I came from, and where I had expected to end up, since Yuki threw away my pendant. It left me vulnerable to that vampire's attack, but for some reason he didn't send me back to hell. I don't understand why he left me alive, surely he knew that as long as my pendant is intact I will remain in this world? He's a vampire, he must have known that. When I lay on the floor, waiting to die, I had expected him to walk over to where my pendant lay on the ground and crush it under his heel, instead of simply leaving me there and walking away. But that was hours ago... I returned to my angel form and crawled over to my pendant, but I cannot pick it up on my own, which is why it lay for so long where it did before Yuki ever found it in the first place. I don't want it to be like that again... I waited for so long for someone to find me, before Yuki. I spent so long alone. And now I am here, sitting on a bench somewhere in this park, near to where my pendant lies on the ground. Soon it will be covered by leaves or the tall grass, and it will be lost again. I will have to stay here until someone finds me... I cannot move far from my pendant. But I suppose I bought this upon myself. I took much more from Yuki than I needed, I took more of her life force than I should have. I never meant to hurt her, but when she found someone better than me I knew she would forget me and I would be alone again, like I am now. 
I sigh and look out over the darkness of the park, wondering how many years it will be this time before someone finds my pendant and lets me live in the light, just for a little while. Sunlight is so beautiful.
"What are you thinking about?" A deep voice asks suddenly from behind me, and I gasp, turning in my seat to find nothing there but a few wisps of white mist in the darkness. Scanning the area behind me, I cannot see anything out of the ordinary, and begin to think that I may have imagined the voice until I turn back around and find a tall vampire standing before me, looking down at me with golden eyes. He is much stronger than I am, I can tell just by looking at him. He could kill me before I had a chance to cry out. But he does not. Instead he moves to sit next to me, as graceful as a cat, and sighs.
"I take it you have met my Shido?" The vampire murmurs, leaning back elegantly and staring out into the night, his eyes unreadable. I decide I had better reply before he grows tired of me and decides I am not worth leaving alive.
"The other vampire, with the sword?" I ask, assuming he means the one who beat me.
"Hmm." The vampire agrees.
"We fought. He left me alive, I do not know why. He could easily have killed me." I inform this vampire, who smiles slightly.
"Ah, that sounds like something he would do. Who knows what strange things run through his mind? I do not understand him." He says, and I can tell from his voice that this Shido is special to him. "And have you a name, nightbreed?" He asks.
"Yuki - the girl who held my pendant - always called me her angel, but I did not live up to her expectations. I do not have any other name, though." 
"Then Angel it is. I am Cain. The vampire you fought is Shido, my wayward little mate. As for why he spared you, I doubt he knows his own mind half of the time. He has decided that he would rather protect humans than feed from them." Cain says, giving a soft chuckle that shows what little he thinks of that idea.
"Why?" I do not understand why a vampire would leave a mate as strong as this Cain seems to be for the humans. 
"Who knows? I am sure he will come around eventually and end this foolish game. But for now I will watch over him until he grows bored of the mortals. I spoil him." 
"He had another vampire with him; a girl." I mention, and watch him as he talks. He has the most wonderful voice, so deep and with such a beautiful accent. It is almost hypnotic. I am sure he is some ancient vampire, and he must have been someone very important before that. Perhaps a lord. He looks so noble, with shining golden curls cascading down his back and amber eyes. His hair is like sunlight, a strange thing to associate with a vampire.
"Ah yes, her name is Riho, I believe." He says this with slight disdain, as though he thinks little of her. "He claims to love her, but I am sure it is just another of his whims. She is weak, still too human. She will not last long once Shido moves on." 
"You love him." I smile softly. I can see it in his eyes, and hear it in his voice. How nice it must be to have someone who would stay beside you forever, like Cain does for his mate. I wonder if Shido knows how lucky he is? 
"Yes. He does not believe it, I'm sure, but I will not give up on him." Cain says, looking down at me. I can tell he means it, and I look down. His eyes are so intense; it is hard to keep looking into them for long without drowning.
"It must be lonely." I whisper, and then I feel his long fingers tilt my chin up so that I am looking at him again. His touch sends a thrill down my spine and I stare helplessly up at him.
"Sometimes. Perhaps I need a pet." He says, looking thoughtful as his eyes scan every inch of me, making me shiver. His fingers are still touching my throat gently and I can barely breathe at the feel of them against my skin. He is so strong, just a little more pressure and he could kill me in an instant. All he has to do is tighten his grip, but he does not, and I do not move. He is looking at me as though I am a prize, I feel like an object on display for him, waiting for him to judge whether I am worthy of being his possession or not. I am sure that if he finds me lacking he will not hesitate to cast me back into the abyss, but still I do not move an inch, letting him run his fingers in a feather-light touch across the side of my throat and then up to my cheek, as if testing my skin to see if it is soft enough for his liking. His fingers find their way up into my hair and he uses his hold there to tilt my head back further suddenly. A soft gasp of surprise leaves my lips and he smirks, then leans down over me, looking deep into my eyes. I feel as though he can see every thought in my mind, his eyes burn into mine. Then he closes the small gap between us and captures my lips, tasting me, testing me out. I let my eyes slide closed, wondering if I am good enough for him. Will he want me? I part my lips, not daring to refuse him, and moan softly as he deepens the kiss. He is so strong, even his kisses are dominating. I do not think I could ever refuse him anything. I do not know how Shido could have ever left him. He must be a lot stronger than I. 
Finally he releases me and pulls back a little, still watching me and seeming to like the soft flush of passion across my pale cheeks. I try to calm my breathing and say nothing, waiting for his verdict. Will he kill me or keep me?
To my surprise he stands suddenly, walking away from me. I do not understand, until he stops a few feet away and bends down, picking up my pendant from where it lay in the grass. I feel a shock of energy flash through me as I become *his* Angel, and I vanish back into the pendant until he calls me out when he wants me. 
With a smirk, he drops my pendant into his pocket and turns, stalking off into the darkness.
