I can't win when I'm starving to death. I can't win against two perverted twins who take any chance to look up my skirt when I kick them. So instead of kicking their asses I took the chance of an opening and ran straight to one of the door at the other side of the room.

Which brings me to now. I am so glad to see the sun and the forest. I sat down against a tree to catch my breath. I look down at my wrist to see the ruin green tie holding on to me. Hopefully I can get out of here in time to buy another tie as a replacement

I let out a sigh and curl myself up in a ball. Impossible to trick Chris I'll tell on myself about the tie before I even try to lie.

My eyes lids felt heavy as my stomach growl once more. It's going to be two days since I last ate, well that I was conscious for. Either way at this rate I can't even kick Pegasus ass. I let my eyes close, the temptation to catch some sleep seem heavenly.

I look all around me searching for a source of light. The shadows were surrounding me and no matter where I turn to I could not find a single ray of light.

She has to be here my only source of light. I cup my hands on each side of my face.

"FIN!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

My eyes widen as the shadows all around me began to dissolve. I turn my head to see her smiling and holding out a hand to me.

I could not stop myself from hugging her close to me. Her small body hug my cheek but it felt as if she were wrapping me in her wings.

"Hikari, I'm back." She giggled.

I pull away feeling my eyes get teary.

"Fin don't leave me, please." I begged her.

"I'm always by your side silly." She pet my cheek. "Hikari I come to warn you about Yugi. That poor innocent boy is being control by a powerful demon."

I felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dump on me.

"Y-Yugi?" I stammer.

"Yes," She nodded. "I suspect he will be use to get close to you. Hikari-chan, you must be on guard around him. Even a slip will be enough of a chance to end you."

My body began to tremble at her words. My mind scream not to believe Fin but she has never lied to me. I have to fight him, I'll fight Yugi. After all were not even friends were practically strangers.

"Don't you worry Fin. I'll be victorious as always." I promised her.

She smiled at me.

"I know you can. I believe in you Hikari-chan."

My eyes snap open, I felt wide awake. The tiredness from before seem to have vanish. My body shook as strength come back to me slowly. I'm still hungry but that can wait. I look around trying to figure where I am.

First things I notice its day time, the sun is out. At least I didn't lose another day to being asleep. I look down to see a blue trench coat. Wait a minute this is Seto's why do I have it? Also looks like I'm at the castle somehow I made it. I turn to my side to see the entrance of the castle. Alright now I just have to bust in.

"Yugi you can't!" I heard Tea screamed.

I stood to my feet at once. Whatever is going on it doesn't sound good. I run to the side of the castle, at the sight before me it was one I never expected to see. Seto is standing at the edge of the turrent. I didn't bother to ask. Right now I'm seeing red and this idiot is the source of it.

"Kaiba! You dumbass!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

That got me everyone's attention.

"Hikari is awake."

"I'm glad to see her up."

"I'm glad I'm not Kaiba."

I turn my gaze to the side to see the gang. This idiot is dueling Yugi and for some dumb reason he is going to jump off the roof.

"What do you want Levington can't you see I'm busy." Seto snapped at me.

I made my hands into fists and started to shake. I smirk at him.

"Get your ass over here, don't you want to save Mokuba." I said through gritted teeth.

"I can't enter the castle unless I defeat Yugi."

I glance over at Yugi feeling myself get piss off even more.

"Then screw them, we are busting in. Not to mention you should know how I persuasive I can be."I hug his coat closer to me trying to ignore the shaking of hunger.

The dark presence from before engulf me trying to warm me up. I push it away, at the reminder of my dream from earlier.

Seto seem to think about it before letting out a sigh and retrieving some sort of white and red plate. Boys and their toys. I stretch my arms over my head. Finally I can get some food!

"Let's go then."

I turn my back to them and made my way to the front door of the castle. There stood one of the men in black with sunglasses. Seriously it's going to be night time soon. Plus what hell is wrong with his hair.

I took a deep breath if Pres can break through steel what's stopping me from breaking some guys ribs and a door. This should be a piece of cake.

He open his mouth to say something but I beat him to the punch, literally. I swing my leg forth putting all my strength into it. Next thing I know is the guy in the black suit is laying on his back surrounded by pieces of the shatter door

Wow, I can't wait to tell Pres all about. She is going to get a shock of her life, when I get home. I felt someone place their hand on my head.

"You sure know how to bust in." Seto said with a rare smile.

"Well, of course." I said feeling a little proud of myself.

"She literally broke a door made of metal." Tristan said in disbelief.

"I'm starting to think she's super human." Joey said in awe.

At that moment my stomach decided to remind me of my hunger. I hug my stomach, regretting it at once about knocking out the only guard. He might have known where the kitchen is.

Oh well I'll have to do it the old fashion way. I started to walk practically searching for my next victim to torture into telling me where the kitchen is.

"Hey Hikari, where are you going?" I turn my head to the gang.

"The kitchen." I responded. I turn at a corner to see a long hallway.

Definitely should haven't knock him out. I kept going not bothering to check if the gang were following me or not. Right at his moment I wouldn't mind eating another bag of chips.

The hallway split into two, crap this castle is like a maze. I'll take the left one if it turns out to be a dead end I'll just return back to where I started.

I hum to myself as I look around the pale green walls. I must say even in this shade green still not such a great color. I did my best to entertain myself with counting the chandeliers.

After what seem an hour I found the kitchen. I tackle down the bowl of apple on the counter. Two apple later I finally took notice of the empty kitchen. I would suspect a chef or two to be in here. This doesn't seem right, there should be at least a couple of maids. Since I enter the castle I haven't seen a single servant in sight.

I'm starting to get the feeling something isn't right. Now that my hunger has been satisfy I can feel a strong dark presence it's the same one I felt when Pegasus tried to take my soul. I grab another apple and bit it.

Myst must be here but unless I transform into Kaito Jeanne I can't seal her anyway. Not to mention I can't be careless. Yugi's Grandpa and Mokuba are both being held prisoners by Pegasus. The next move I make I need to think it thoroughly.

I open the fridge and start to grab fresh fruit and snacks they must have prepare for tonight's meal. I place it on the counter next to the apples. For now I need to get some food for the gang. They will all need their strength to fight against this snake.

I place all the food in a bag, carefully making sure none of it spills. I waste no time breaking into a run. Something about the dark presence doesn't seem right a minute it ago, it was mellow and calming. Now it's raging and flaring up.

I push my legs to go faster. I didn't think about which hallway to take I just run. I kept going until I stop at the doorway. In front of me stood Seto and across from him, Pegasus. I drop the bag of food as a sense of dread made my stomach twist into a knot. My heart started to beat faster. I took a deep breath, hating the fact Blue eyes white dragon is nowhere on sight.

I took a step forward and froze. Seto slowly turn to me, his eyes blank from any emotion. I clench my jaw tight, holding in the tears that were threatening to spill. Never in my life had I felt such anger and sadness. I threw my arms around him just in time to catch him. His body seem cold giving away the obvious.

Pegasus laugh. "My dearest Hikari, you missed quite a match. Kaiba-boy fought his best but it was quite pathetic in the end. He kept apologizing to his brother for failing him."

I slowly place Seto down, cradling his head on my lap. My body shook wanting nothing more then to punch Pegasus smug face. I glare at him with so much hate.

"Now, now, Hikari do not worry soon you will be joining him. As I said before you're not a duelist therefore your soul is fair game." Pegasus chuckled.

"Do you honestly believe I cannot protect myself?" I asked through gritted teeth. "Do you truly believe it was pathetic of Seto to apologize when he fought hard to rescue his brother!"

At this point I let my power unleash. My rosary glow as I thought of Seto and Mokuba. He came here to rescue his brother and he fought with all he got. Yet, this idiot laughs at him. I hold Seto closer to me.

Pegasus eye widen, the dark presence shriek back. I didn't back off I kept pushing I wanted him to feel the same amount of pain as Seto.

"Yes hurt him my little light. push him into the shadows." A quiet voice whisper into my mind.

The rosary stop glowing but my powers kept pushing Pegasus. Something inside of me had seem to snap. A strike of pain crush me, it's the same kind of pain Pegasus inflicted on me. I bit my bottom lip hard containing a scream.

"That's right Hikari give in to the shadows. Show me the true strength of the legendary beasts." Pegasus said in glee.

Everything hurts I have a migraine that's keep getting worse with each minute. I'm nauseous and dizzy, I can barely keep my eyes open. My stomach keeps twisting into knots. This can't be Pegasus doing. No something inside of me broke free when Pegasus first attempted to take my soul. Whatever it is, it refuses to go back to its cage.

I close my eyes and massage my temples. I take deep breaths hoping to ease the pain but it only keeps getting worse. A whimper slips through my lips.

"Stop fighting my dear, the sooner you give in the better it will get."

I glare at Pegasus as another strike of pain goes through my body. Pegasus millennium eye shines, its power engulfing me.

This a battle of the wits if I don't try to contain whatever he unleash, I might lose myself to this thing. It's this what Fin meant about my power casting a great shadow. Am I turning into something horrible?

Pegasus millennium eye breaks through my barrier, unleashing my own shadow. I'm sinking deep into it I can feel it with each heart beat. I can feel them standing right behind me. Their cold breaths make chills go down my spine. I turn around to see three different shadows with glowing red eyes.

That's all I saw before everything went dark.

My eyes flutter open right away I feel every muscle aching. I push the bed covers off me and sat up. The room only source of light is the moon as it shines through the windows. From what I can see the room is bare it only has a bed and a single chair.

I try to get up from the bed only to tumble down. I look down at my own hands, trying to make sense of the situation. I thought for sure my soul had been lock away like the others. But here I am still in my body.

I muster up the strength to push myself up. I stand on trembling legs. That's when I see a red bag sitting on the chair. I slowly make my way to it, tripping on my own feet. I unzip it to see clean clothes inside.

A shower sounds heavenly to me right now. I grab a pink tank top with matching shorts along my underwear and bra. I open the door next to the bed revealing the bathroom. I could cry just from seeing a bar of soap. I don't think twice about showering.

Once I'm squeaky clean and smell like strawberries. My brain reminds me of superb panda and the gang. I dry my hair and comb my fingers through it.

I look at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. I keep hoping to see something but it's just plain me. My blue eyes, same pale skin, and long raven hair that reaches my butt. The only thing I see different is my chest. I hope puberty ends soon. I do not need big melons.

I give the room another look. There are two doors one leads to the bathroom, the other one is lock. I twisted the knob pushing against the door. I put all of my weight hoping it would budge a little. I took a couple of steps away from the door.

Fine, you want to be mean then let me show how evil I can be. I kick it with all I have. A shot of pain went through my body. Damn it, Pegasus trick from earlier left me weak. Alright then I'll do it the phantom thief way.

I turn to the windows across the room. I tried to open one but nothing, there lock. I glare at the window so much for getting out of here.

I grab the pillow on the bed and took off its pillow case. I am not playing the maiden in distress, that's not my thing. I wrap the pillow case around my hand. I'm busting out this instant.

I made my hands into a fist and pull it back. I swing it forth, punching the window. I smirk at seeing it shatter. Finally I'm out of here. I quickly grab my boots and put them on.

I also grab the blanket from the bed and wrap it around me. It's pretty cold tonight I wonder how I didn't notice when we were camping. Probably because...my cheeks went up in flames. Stupid cute superb panda.

I grab hold of the window taking a peek I notice there's a patio a floor below me. That's the only place I can run to if it's Pegasus room I'm beating him to a pulp. I jump out of the window, holding in my breath. This is nothing compare to the countless times I have jump off from buildings as Kaito Jeanne.

I landed clumsily as I trip on my own foot hitting the floor face down.

Alright face one of my plan to escape is going well. I heard rustling as someone open the glass doors to the patio. Crap!

I quickly got up ignoring my aching muscles. I place myself next to the doors. The minute they open them and step to the patio, his dead meat. I tense up once the doors swing open. I didn't think, I move I raise my leg up ready to kick them down.

I froze at the size of two violet eyes.

"Yugi!" I shriek. "Talk about giving me a heart attack."

He didn't respond, he just kept starring at me.

I wave my hand in front of his face, that got me a reaction.

"Hikari." He whispered my name gently.

"Yes?" I tilted my head to the side confused.

He pull me into his arms holding me tight. My face went red and my heartbeat echo through my ears. No, his not Chris. This isn't my Chris, his just a friend and only a friend. I'm not suppose to react to him. My own body betrays me, my arms wrap themselves around him.

I love Chris but it feels good to be in Yugi's arms. He gently pull away to arms length.

"Are you okay?" He asked, concerned.

"Yes I'm fine. Pegasus really did a number on me though." I admitted bitterly.

His violet eyes change into crimson ones. The dark presence engulfs me trying to erase the damage Pegasus created.

Fin's warning rang through my mind. I gently pull away from Yugi. That's right I can't let my guard down. Myst is also controlling Yugi along with Pegasus. I can't let her win, I must be strong. I put up my barrier blocking out the dark presence.

"How are you on the others?" I asked, changing the subject.

"We were all worry about you. When you pass out I lost it. I was ready to kill Pegasus. He didn't let any of us get close to you. I watch as one of his bodyguards carry you away." The pain in his voice made my heart twist.

I bit my bottom lip hard, it's only an act. Don't be fool Hikari.

"Well I'm fine so don't worry. I'm stronger then I look." I flinch at the sound of my ice tone.

I pull the blanket closer to me. I need to get out of here before my guard slips. I peek over his shoulder to his room. Nobody is inside, it's just him.

"True you are strong but I think it's because you make yourself look strong." Yugi responded in a velvet tone sending chills down my spine.

I fought the blush, trying to make its way to my cheeks. Instead I focus on the pattern of the carpet in the room. I doubt my body can take another jump, I'm already feeling tire. I dig my nails into my palm, time to go.

"I think I should go. I need to find Seto and Mokuba." I half lied.

I completely forgot about the Kaiba brothers. There must be a way for me to save them. I need to find their bodies. The image of Pegasus laughing makes my skin crawl, he's going to pay.

I didn't even get to take a step as Yugi pull me close to him. I fought against the urge to melt into his arms.

"What are you doing?" I asked in a shaky tone.

"You should rest." He place a hand on my cheek. "You look pale and very tire. We can search for Kaiba and his brother tomorrow."

"Rest?" I repeated.

I won't lie I still feel soar from the tug of war with Pegasus but there are people who need to be safe. Seto and Mokuba need me right now.

"Yes, you can sleep on the bed I can sleep on the floor." At his words my blush made an appearance.

Sleeping with a boy in the room, I never imagine or thought about that. Still I need to get going, it's my job to kick Pegasus ass.

"No, it's fine I'm going." I gently pull away from his arms and quickly went into the room. I grab the door knob but I never got the chance to twist it open.

Yugi wrap his arm around my waist pulling me away. He gently sat me down on the bed.

"Sleep." He ordered.

"And who's going to make me?" I argued.

He smirk at me before pining me down to the bed. Okay, this is bad, really bad. I can't let my guard down. The demon in him could kill me at any moment and I would be too busy enjoying the warmth of his body. I look away falling to come up with a way to push him off.

He chuckled and place his lips on my neck. Don't fall for it. It's only a trick, I can fight him off. I move my legs trying to get him off. He place his knee between my legs, holding me in place.

"Yugi get off." I whined.

This is bad a part of me wants him to continue.

He place butterfly kisses from my neck all the way to my jaw. I fought against my own body. Come on Hikari push him off.

He bit my earlobe and I could see him smirking. My body tremble in delight wanting more from him. No! You stupid hormonal teenage girl! I tried to break free from his grip but I mind as well have the strength of a kitten. I cannot believe I'm enjoying this.

"This is sexual harassment!" I screamed.

He place a gentle kiss on my cheek. His crimson eyes full of amusement.

"Said the girl with a black belt in karate if you truly want me to stop then do please try." He whispered the challenge next to my ear.

"I am going to kick your ass!" I declared.
