I never been happier in my life. I sneak a peek to my future husband. His green eyes shine with happiness. I give his hand a gentle squeeze. I can't believe this is happening. I giggle quietly, soon we will be husband and wife. I tighten my grip on my bouquet.

"Now, do you Hikari Levington take this man as your husband?" The question made me get butterflies.

"I do." I answer with a smile.

I felt a warm feeling spreading through my chest. I can't believe it I'm Mrs. Chris Redwine. I heard my girls crying in happiness. I turn my head to see them with teary smiles. I felt my own eyes sting with tears. I took a deep breath and turn to Chris.

He give me a smile before lifting my veil. I close my eyes and tilted my head back. This is it. The first step to my happy life. Chris gently press his lips against me. Right away I notice something pricking my lips. Did Chris get a beard?

I open one eye to see my Chris has turn into a hair ball!

"EW!" I pull away spitting out hair. I rub my hand against my tongue trying to get rid of the hair.

That's when I finally took notice of my surroundings. I'm in a place with thousands of doors leading to, who knows where. Each door has a golden eye on it. I can't even tell where this place ends and where it starts. There are stair cases everywhere, there's even some upside-down.

"Where the hell am I?!" I yell, making it echo throughout the room.

The hairball made a humming noise. I turn my attention to it. I'll admit his adorable but I'm not hugging him. His got yellow eyes with purple pupils and green paws. His Cousin It from the Adams Family.

"Okay Cousin It, do you have any idea where we are?" I ask him.

He responded in his adorable humming noise.

"Well, that sucks." I responded.

I stood up from the ground dusting off my red dress. I look down and turn around getting a better look of it. It's strapless and puffy. I feel like a fairy princess. The red sparkly heels completes the outfit perfectly. I place a hand on my hair to feel it's up in a ponytail.

Okay, try to remember what happened? I close my eyes focusing on remembering but my memories are all blurry. I stop once I felt a headache coming on.

"Cousin It, do you remember how we ended up here?"

He hum in response.

"Thought so."

Great I'm losing it. I'm talking to Cousin It while stuck in some weird maze. I started to walk to a random direction. The heels clicking echo throughout the maze. I rub my arms together, this place is freezing.

Cousin It made another humming noise. I turn my gaze to him with a raise eyebrow. His eyes light up as if he were smiling at me. He snuggle close to me warming me up. I smile at the gesture, I felt him purr.

I pet him gently. I wish there was someone else to talk to. This place keeps reminding me of my own home. The empty place where no one is waiting for me. My parents are away for business leaving me alone. Never calling, never writing to me, not even a single text. I speed up on my walking, I need to get out of here.

This maze seems endless. The doors seem to be multiplying, mind as well try to open one. Maybe one of them can lead me out of here. I turn the door knob and push it open. A cold wind blast through, knocking me down. Cousin It made a half squeak, half hum noise. He floats around me with a worry look.

I sat up to see a light shining through the door. I shield my eyes noticing there's a figure sitting in the light. Oh my gosh, it's flipping Lurch. I don't only just get Cousin It, I also get the creepy butler. Who doesn't talk, he just groans.

Once the light dies down, I got a better look at the figure. My lips break into a smile. I can't help but tackle the Superb Panda into a hug. I'm so happy to see a familiar face.

"Yugi!" I squeal in delight.

He chuckles, wrapping his arms around me.

I slowly pull away to get a closer look at his face. At the sight of the crimson eyes, the bells in my mind ring as a warning. Yugis eyes are violet and innocent looking. These crimson eyes hold a dangerous look in them. The smirk his wearing is full of mischief.

"What are you doing here?" He ask in a velvet tone.

"Beats me." I shrug. "I just woke up here in this fairy costume with Cousin It kissing me."

"Cousin It?" Yugi repeated.

At the mention his name my fur ball companion appear before us. He hum at us in greeting.

Yugis crimson eyes seem to glow, once they landed on Cousin It. I wrap my arms around the hair ball, feeling him purr. He snuggle closer to me. Cousin It reminds me of a giant cat.

"His name is Kuriboh." Yugi said in a calm tone.

I turn my gaze to the fur ball.

"I already grown attach to the habit of calling you, Cousin It. You don't mind if I keep calling you that?" I ask the fur ball.

He answered in his usual humming noise.

"I'll take that as a yes."

I held him closer as the temperature in the room seem to drop. Man its freezing here. I hadn't realize I was shaking until Yugi wrap his jacket around me.

"You need to get out of here." He said with a sad look in his eyes.

"I can't, I'm not sure if it's safe for me to get out." I answer.

I blink, that's weird.

"What do you mean?"

"Something is hunting me. I can feel something is coming." I quiver.

I can feel the cold stare of whatever is hunting me. I can feel the hair in the back of my neck stand up. My entire body shook, his close by. I hug Cousin It tighter to me.

"What do you mean?" Yugi asks me.

My eyes roam around the room. It is dark the only light in here is on Yugi. There's not enough of it. The light here can't keep him out. The thought alone made my stomach drop to my feet. It's getting closer and closer.

I turn around to face the close door. A shiver run through me freezing my insides completely. This thing I can feel its blood lust from here. I took a couple of steps back as the doorknob rattle. Fear grip my insides tightly, making my entire body shake. My eyes got wide and teary I can feel it sinking its claws on my flesh.

I let out a loud scream, wanting nothing more than to disappear at this moment. I close my eyes tight feeling everything fade away. I couldn't sense Yugi anymore the moment that thing showed up. I feel it pushing me out of this maze. It doesn't want me anywhere near Yugi.


I'm not sure how long I was out but at least this time I didn't wake up to kissing Cousin It. I sat up immediately regretting it, my head pounding with pain. I look around me in hopes to see Cousin It. I frown at the realization I'm all alone. I'm not surrounded by stairs or millions of doors. Instead I'm surrounded by only two doors.

One of them is wide open revealing toys and coloring books. It seems to be a child's room. I turn my head to the other door to see all sort of weird ancient writing. At the center of the door is a weird eye, it looks familiar. Another spike of pain goes through me. I grab my aching head, trying to ignore it.

I rub my palms against my forehead trying to ease some of the pain. I am going to get my own security team, once this is all over. I'm sick of being some damsel in distress. I'm sick of being such a weakling, Fin always gave me strength to fight and move forward. Lately, I feel whatever I do I only keep hurting my love ones.

I grab a fistful of my dresses skirt as my eyes got watery. All I had left of my family was Ashley and she's gone now. I doubt anyone needs me anymore. I pulls my legs to my chest wrapping my arms around them. My entire body shook as each sob wreck through my body.

Then a whole different kind of pain hit me. A cold chill went down my spine. An image of Yugi flashes through my mind. Within a second I'm back on my feet, ready to run towards his aid. Only problem is I have no clue where my Superb Panda could be.

An idea occur to me as I turn my head towards the child room. I took only a step into the doorway, to be stop by an invisible wall. I made my hand into a fist, punching the wall in hopes to break it. I let out a groan and cradle my hands to my chest. I clench my jaw, so what if it hurts throwing a punch. No matter how painful it feels hitting a stinking invisible wall. I need to get to Yugi!

I kept punching the wall growing desperate. Something horrible must have happened, I can't feel the pain anymore. It's gone leaving behind an empty void. I dig my nails into my palms. There must be something I can do to help him. I have been the worst friend to him leading him on and not being there for him.

But, even so his one of my best friends. I place both my hands on the invisible wall and close my eyes concentrating. Please be okay, I felt my rosary begun to glow as the doors disappear. My rosary is taking me directly to Yugi. I slowly open my eyes to see him lying unconscious. I gently pull him into my arms lending him some of my power. I place my cheek against his and frown.

He shouldn't be this cold, I held him tighter to me. Rubbing my hands against his arms. I can feel a great darkness lingering over him. Could Yugi be posses by a demon? No, it would have force him to attack me by now. But there is something about his puzzle that seems mysterious.

"Please protect Yugi from Pegasus." A voice echo's.

I turn my head to see an old man with a bandana wrap around his head. His violet eyes are full of kindness just like Yugi's. There is no doubt this man is Yugi's grandpa.

"I'll do my very best." I promised him.

He smile at me kindly before disappearing. I turn my attention back to Yugi and frown at the way his face is cringe up in pain. I'm not sure what's going out there or where we are. But I'm certain whatever is going on, Yugi is fighting with all of his strength.

I held him closer to me, feeling my rosary glow brighter, igniting the darkness all around us. That's when I notice Dark Magician standing behind me, well floating in mid air. His cold gaze pierce me. He grab hold of Yugi's jacket collar pulling him away from me. I instantly got in the defense.

"Hey, let go of him!" I protested grabbing on to Yugi's arm.

Dark Magician glare harder.

"I suggest you let go, times have change. My master and you should have never met. The last time you were in my master presence, you almost destroy everything. You are nothing more than a curse, Artemis." He spat the name out with such disgust.

"Look, buddy I have no idea what your problem is but I'm not letting go of the panda. His my friend and friends help each other. I am not abandoning him when he is in a lot of pain." I glare at him, just as hard.

He tighten his grip on Yugi's jacket refusing to back down. The bright light of my rosary blind both of us as it kept growing, feeling up this entire room. A shiver went down my spine as I felt someone trying to poke my brain. At the same time I could tell they were doing the same to Yugi.

Images of a duel flash through my mind, Yugi vs. Pegasus. There in some sort of dark realm. By the looks of things Yugi couldn't handle being in such a negative atmosphere. He passed out in the middle of game placing down a face down card.

Wait a minute if my superb panda is with me then who is facing off Pegasus right now? Fins words echo into my mind. But something deep inside of me knows Yugi is not a demon. Even if there is something weird about him. Sure his got two different personalities, maybe his got a split personality. And right now the confident personality is taking place. Let's call him lion, for now.

I forgot all about Mr. Purple as he takes Yugi from my reach then points his staff at me. I don't know what hurts more the fact I gave this monster card to Yugi or the fact it took my baby panda from me.

"Seriously, what is your problem with me?" I ask annoy.

We don't have time to be fighting amongst ourselves. Panda is out of commission and lion is fighting Pegasus. Not to mentions that stupid millennium eye. I don't really get what it does but from the early images, the no good bastard can read minds.

"Your very existence puts my Master in grave danger. The last time you both met I almost last him because of your cursed destiny. I will not let history be repeated." He responded as he look at the unconscious Yugi.

Curse destiny, does he mean my powers as Kaito Jeanne? Fin has mention it before my soul has been reincarnated thousands of times. Each time the darkness gets too powerful I am born with the task to defeat it. Sure, I never thought much about it, until now that is. Maybe, staying away from Yugi was the right thing to do. After all its my faults his grandpa got kidnap by Pegasus. The Kaiba brothers getting involve in this, is also my fault.

Yet, the very thought of separating from Yugi again, makes my chest hurt. I've never felt this kind of pain before. I hate it, I want to see Yugi's smile every day. I want to hear all about his day. I want to be a part of his life. I made my hands into fists, blinking away the tears.

"Please," I whimper. "Don't do this. I want to be with him."

Mr. Purples eyes narrow down at me.

"You said those exact same words to me. I can tell you love him but heed my warning it is best for all of us if you two stay apart from each other." I feel as if my entire world just crumble by his words.

I never felt this much pain just by the idea of separating from someone. Not even when my parents left me all alone. I don't know how to explain it, I just feel as if I'm falling into an endless void. The worst part I know his right. The past days have been enough evidence to prove it. Usually, I fake a smile put on my big girl pants and move on. But I'm stuck, I can't move forward.

Yugi's scream made me jump. His clutching his shirt with a painful expression. My eyes widen at the sight of a dark mist encircling him around. Shit, this has to be the work of the demon possessing Pegasus. And here I am throwing myself a pity party, when my bff is still fighting.

"What's going out there?" I ask Mr. Purple.

He stare at me for a moment before answering.

"My master is in the middle of a Shadow Game. The loser, loses his soul to the Shadow Realm."

Fantastic, Pegasus is fighting lion in a world of pure darkness. Seriously, I thought this card game was suppose to be fun. Yugi definitely needs a new hobby. I'll worry about that later. Right now, my biggest concern is making Pegasus back off.

"Hey, Barney!" I smirk. "Hand me over Yugi I'll use my shield to protect him from Pegasus millennium eye."

Without another word Mr. Purple hands me back Yugi. I lay him down on the floor. Man, he looks paler then before. I'm starting to get the feeling Pegasus eye does more then read minds. If Myst is behind this, I be she is sucking up the life out of the duelists.

"Yugi! Can you hear us buddy?!" I heard a Brooklyn voice call out.

"Were hear for you, Yug!" Another one call out.

"We believe in you!" A worry voice call out.

Their Yugi's friends, they must be sick with worry for their baby panda. Maybe, I can link all their minds together to make a barrier against Pegasus mind reading. I held Yugi's hand between mine, feeling my power fight off the dark mist from his body.

I reach out to his friends bringing them to us. I smile as I felt their presence push out Pegasus annoying eye. I look up to see Tea pulling Yugi into her lap. She is such a panda hog! Joey and Tristan stay standing, glaring at Pegasus direction. Before you know it, they all started a friendship speech.

"Can we please focus on kicking his ass?!" I snap.

We do not have time to talk about the wonders of friendship in the middle of a game.

"Y-Yugi is getting to do that." Joey stutter.

"Man, who knew a rich girl could so scary." Tristan commented as he took a couple of steps back.

I glare at them both. I turn my attention to the game to see I still do not get this game. I mean brain control really? Isn't that against the rules or something. Now, lion is doing a ritual to summon another monster to kick the rest of his life points away.

Hopefully.

The monster that come out from the smoke of the ritual is Black Magician of Chaos. I did fifty laps for that card and it was so worth it. Since its going to kick Pegasus ass! Except, Yugi's turn has ended and its Pegasus turn. Great.

Pegasus monster gains all sorts of eyes causing the Magician of Chaos to paralyzed. There is also the fact is going to eat it then takes his powers. Then eye freak will blink away all of Yugi's life points. Then we are all screw, I'm starting to hate this game with a passion.

Wait a moment, Cousin It shows up in the field. There are thousands of him floating all around the field. Freak eyes turn himself into a vacuum trying to suck Magician of Chaos. Instead his sucking up all sorts of fuzz balls.

"Go Cousin It! Kick his ass!" I cheer him on, getting weird looks from the gang.

Surprise, my little fur ball friend it's an adorable bomb. Once, he makes contact with the enemy he explodes. Thousand of adorable bombs go off making eye freak blind. But were not done just yet. Ladies and Gentleman watch as my lion bares his fangs. Black Magician of Chaos blasts away the remaining life point of Pegasus.


I feel my entire body is stiff as a board. I blink my eyes a couple of times to see a black shield thing out in the field. I look around me to see I'm sitting on Pegasus chair. I slowly stand up ignoring the way my legs are prickling with pain. I must have been sitting here for a while if both my legs are asleep.

The sight of Pegasus running way like a coward, makes me forget all about my sleepy legs. Yugi has done his part of the deal. Now it's time for me to take care of the rest. I slowly start to make my way to the hallways. Trying to get a sense of Pegasus or Myst.

At the sight of a nearby window, a smile appear on my face. I speed up and broke out through the window to see I'm in the fourth floor. I caught sight of Pegasus running towards one of his towers. I held my glowing rosary between both hands.

"Please Fin lend me your strength." A pink fire engulf me whole. My back raven hair turn a pure gold color. Blue eyes turn to violet eyes. My rosary glow brighter as I felt more powerful than before. My white dress appear along with a red and yellow ribbon.

I landed gracefully on the roof. Note to self practice for gymnastics. I shook my head clearing my mind. I took off towards the tower. I ran up the stairs to see a single door at the top. From behind the door I can feel a strong dark presence.

I kick down on the door then step into the room to see a defeated Pegasus on his knees with his head on his hands. In front of him is a painting of a beautiful woman. This must be his decease wife, on the way here Ashley force me to study up on Pegasus life. If it weren't for the fact he kidnapped me, I might actually pity him.

"It's over Pegasus." I stated with a soft look.

"No I was so close to bringing Cecilia back to life." The pain in his voice made my heart ache.

I crouch down next to him placing my hand on his shoulder. I can feel the darkness from his millennium eye whispering to him. Lying to him, about trying again to bring back his wife.

"She would be upset with you, if you did this. Plus do you even realize Ashley is head over heels in love with you. I mean she kick me to the side all for the sake to please you." I sigh.

He turn his head to me his expression resemble the look of a lost child. I place my hand on his golden eye, smiling at him.

"In the name of god. You, a demon born in the dark. I seal you here." A soft light appear between my fingers as I seal away the millennium eye. "Checkmate."

A golden chess piece appear on my hand. I quickly caught Pegasus as he fell to his side. He must have lost conscious when I seal the eye away. I slowly lay him down on his back.

All sorts of emotions bubble up to the surface. Relief to have this stinking business trip over. Over joy to go home and see my girls. I am squeezing them to deathly hugs. The Stardust week is just a week away. Soon I'll be dancing the night away with my prince. Then I'll confess to him, soon we'll be dating. After graduation we will be wed. Then a year passes by and we have our first child.

I giggle as my cheeks flush, I put my hands on each side of my face. I can't believe it, Chris gave me his green tie. Now, all I have to do is confess my feelings. Before you know it we will be on our first date. Wait...green tie?

My eyes widen as I quickly undid my transformation, noticing for the first time I'm wearing a red dress. I tear up, with getting attack by Pegasus then somehow ending up in Yugi's mind, I'm guessing. I got put into another dress but no flipping green tie.

"THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!" I yell to the roof.

I roll down on the floor trying to come up with a list of places to look in. Except I flipping don't even know where to start. It's a huge castle with gazillions of rooms! Next I started to run around the room with anime tears. Damn it, I can't confess now!

"Are you alright?" A British voice spoke.

I turn my head to see my polar bear standing near the door way. I couldn't help myself I tackle him to the ground. I started to blab about losing my lucky green tie.

"And I have no idea where it is!" I sob into his chest.

Polar bear place a finger under my chin making me look up. The look on his eyes made a shiver go down my spine. I froze in place, his just like Yugi. Does everyone in Domino high have some sort of split personality? Or is it just every adorable person I meet.

"Polar bear?" I said gently.

He smirk at me then brings his face closer to mine. I need to move but my body refuses to listen. My entire face feels warm as our lips meet, making my heart go into overdrive.

Shit.
