Prologue: Kidnapped

She had to keep running is what she kept telling herself. If she didn't lose him she would be in big trouble. She didn't want to duel nor did she want have a confrontation with her best friend's twin. She nearly tripped while maneuvering around different alley ways to avoid him.

So far it was working, until she came to a dead end. "No, please no. I need to get away." She spoke softly desperate to find a way out. Anything that could get her out of this alley way would help.

As she struggled to find a way out, dark laughter erupted from behind her. Trembling in fear, she slowly turned around to see the one that had been stalking her like a predator stalking its prey. She was too scared to say anything at this point and didn't even try to duel him.

Since he didn't want her to cry out in alarm he knocked her out with chloroform on a cloth so that he could carry her on his shoulder. Once she had fainted, he picked her up with ease. He could hear her friend calling for her. "Rin! Where are you?"

When her friend finally found them he exposed his face in the lights of his D-wheel. With a smirk he used Violet Flash as he brought her back to the tower. And for just a moment he disappeared back into another dimension.

When she awoke hours later, she found herself in this tower with no way out or anyway home. Rin cried as all she wanted was Yugo to be there beside her. Even then it would have been more comfortable for her then facing this alone.

She didn't eat as she wasn't hungry for the time being. She also noticed that they gave her clothes and sleepwear. Though, she understood this she didn't want to use it. In her mind this meant she would be submitting to their rules. This was something she refused to do was to give into their demands.

Rin found a diary and wrote in it. She wrote of how much she missed Yugo. She wondered if she should have told him her real feelings from the beginning of how much she loved him.

Tears fell onto the pages as she was consumed with sorrow and regret. She berated herself for not telling him sooner. Yes, she wanted him to make the first move. However, she had forgotten how much of an absent-minded dork he could be.

She drifted to sleep after this as the day had been long and hard on her emotions. She dreamed she was at home with Yugo still living out their lives as normally as they could.

When they came to her room to take her to the Doctor she refused wanting nothing to do with them. When they gave her meals she threw them back at them. She yelled and screamed at wanting to go home. Her right eye burned every time she yelled, never knowing why it hurt so much.

The days she spent in the room, were not that happiest. The Professor sent her gifts of dresses and other things. But she never used them. Except for one, there was a white dress that was frilly and lacey. It made her smile thinking how much Yugo would love. Especially, since aqua blue diamonds sparkled in the dress.

It was then the Professor came into her room. "How are you doing, Rin?" She didn't want to be rude but she was rather angry. "Not so good, why can't I go home?"

He looked at her and shook his head. "You are needed here. You cannot go home. That isn't your home." He tried to explain as he just wanted his precious daughter back. He would do anything to bring her back.

Rin could sense that desperation and it angered her further. "You took me from my home and treat me like I am your child. I am not your daughter! Whoever she is I am sure she wants to see you again! But, I don't even know my own father! I know he is out there and I have to go home to find him! Please! Let me go home!"

The Professor was surprised to see the girl's tears. What father? Rin didn't have a family… Did she? It angered him that his daughter might be further taken away from him from this "false" version of her in his mind. "No! You are not going back there! This where you will stay! Until your existence is forgotten! You are nothing more than a pawn in my plan!"

She froze from his yelling at her plea to go home. But, now she would never know who her father was! All because of this man who wouldn't let her go home. Once she saw him storm off and leave her locked in her room. She screamed out in rage at him with tears falling down her face. "I HATE YOU!"

He knew this was not his daughter just a "false" representation of her. He didn't care if she yelled those words as she meant little to him. He couldn't wait to be rid of her and her counterparts. This was the plan and soon yes, soon he would have his dear daughter back. "Wait for me Ray, I promise to bring you back."

Rin cried herself to sleep that night, hating every moment she was away from home. She had no idea what would become of her the longer she stayed here. People would cease to exist as people here in her eyes, but as objects that needed to be broken from the spell they were under. She would learn that some wanted a friend, while others just wished for her to give up and accept her fate. But, soon she would have no idea what path this road would take her on. How, in time, she would become the Beauty for a monstrous Beast?
