DIZCLAIMER: i ain't own nothing!

"Y-YOU?" Shizuka gasped.

The man nodded, "Yes, I am your fairy godfather. Now please, let's get you to see your Father shall we?"

Shizuka hesitated, but she couldn't help but to feel some sort of connection with this fairy….or whatever he is. He didn't have wings or seemed small and slender like she has heard of the fairies.

Jonouchi was tall and well built, he wore armor.

Shizuka took his hand, he smiled even wider, and slowly but gently, helped her out of her carriage.

Yugi smiled, Mai didn't look their way.

Jonouchi nodded, "The duke is waiting for this return," he said, "We must part,"

They began to walk through a corridor, while walking; Shizuka had many questions she wanted to ask her fairy godfather. But she knew this wasn't the time to ask.

Shizuka looked at Mai and noticed how she kept her jaw tense, and her lips were curved into a thin line. She wondered what was wrong with Mai.

Jonouchi lead them into a dark, heavily polished wooden door, he turned to Yugi and said, "The duke is here on the other side in the library," he said. He turned to the door and knocked.

The door automatically opened, Shizuka immediately put her mask on. Yugi smiled, "You won't need that," he said.

The library was huge; bookcases filled the walls up the ceiling. The marble floor reflected the many books that were in the library.

It seems that the library is used many times, for there were piles of books on the floor, tables, and some were near the fireplace, and some were piled on top of couches near the fire place. And on those couches sat a tall, slender man, with long teal hair.

Yugi bowed, "My Lord Dartz," he said.

The man named Dartz, who was so immersed in a book, looked up, and gasped.

Shizuka immediately placed her hand over her face.

Dartz immediately went over to Mai and looked upon Mai's face like he believed Mai would instantly vanish before his eyes, "Mai," he whispered, "Mai, my beloved Mai…is this you?"

Mai gave him a small smile, Dartz raised his hand, he slowly ran his hand through Mai's hair, "You've grown so beautiful," he said.

Mai bowed, "Thank you, Papa." She said.

Dartz turned to Shizuka, who placed her hair over her face. No! Shizuka's mind screamed, Don't look at me, Papa! Your daughter is hideous! Don't look at me!

Dartz face held no expression, he slowly raised his hands.

No! Shizuka wanted to cry, Don't look at me with pity! Don't look at me with those sad eyes….

Dartz placed both hands on Shizuka's shoulders, then, to Shizuka's surprise, he embraced her, "Shizuka," he whispered, "My little Shizuka," He touched her scar, Shizuka's heart skipped a beat. No one has ever touched her scar in such a kind and loving way.

Shizuka gasped, she felt so relieved, "Papa…" she whispered, and embraced him back.

"There, there darling…I can't imagine how scared you are…" he said.

Shizuka couldn't take it anymore, she wanted to know, she wanted to understand, "Why?" Shizuka wept.

"Why?"

Dartz glanced at Yugi, who glanced at Jonouchi who took a deep breath, "Because…it was all part of a prophecy," he began.

"A…prophecy?" Shizuka repeated uncertainly. Jonouchi nodded, "It was me who told the prophecy to your father," he said.

Dartz nodded, "A year before you were born," he said.

Mai glanced nervously at Shizuka, then at Jonouchi.

"I'm not sure were to begin," Jonouchi admitted.

"But I can," everyone turned to where Yugi was, but instead of Yugi stood an older, and darker version of Yugi.

"You see," the older Yugi began, "There was once a sorcerer who was very powerful, and kind. He was once very powerful among many kingdoms, his name is Bakura."

"So Bakura decided to take a break for several years, no one was sure as to why, but I assume it was because he wanted to expand his knowledge in the arts…but something went wrong…"

The older Yugi's burrowed his eyebrows in confusion, "He was different, like an entirely different person…he became secluded and there were people who began to disappear."

Dartz took a deep breath, "I send Atem to talk to him, but it turns out, he was what Atem feared he turned out to be…"

"Atem?" Mai asked. Yugi nodded, "That is my other name, when I am in this form." He said.

Shizuka didn't understand, "But what does Bakura have to do with me?" she asked.

It was Jonouchi who spoke up, "Bakura became a warlock, a sorcerer who dabbles in the dark arts. He then learned about a prophecy…that you will bear a child who will be the end of Bakura."

At this, Shizuka shook her head, "But-But that doesn't make sense….how-how could I bear a child? I'm not even betrothed! I mean LOOK at me!" she pointed at her scar.

Dartz held her by the shoulders, "Shizuka my dear, don't you see? Bakura MADE you this way. He came upon you while you were an infant….and placed this spell on you…"

"And it was I who made the spell," Jonouchi stepped in, "That your true love will make your scar disappear,"

This was all too much…Shizuka thought. So she was right, her scar…her scar IS a curse.

MEANWHILE…

CRASH!

Seto threw a lamp on the floor. That old man played a trick on him!

Seto kicked a table down. He felt his heart rate rising. His hands were trembling with anger. Seto took deep breaths….calm down….calm down.

Fall in love he get to rule the kingdom, don't fall in love he marries Anzu. Annoying girl, annoying brat!

Seto groaned in pain…his body ached.

How can someone fall in love? How can someone fall in love when they never have? And who…who in the heck would be worthy enough for him?

As far as Seto was concerned, he was far better than any girl in the kingdom. Who in the world is worthy enough for him?

Seto laughed, as he laughed he winced, he felt his chest burning. Seto took another deep breath…

MEANWHILE…

Gozaburo sat on his bed and he heard a scream of frustration. Gozaburo closed his eyes and nodded, "I knew he would blow eventually…" he said.
