'Her attacks and structures are so familiar.  She was able to see through the hats, and her attacks were simple, yet they were able to defeat both the red-eyes and the blue-eyes.  Now, where have I seen…of course!' Pegasus thought.  '* gulp * I wander what she wants.  So powerful.  I had better let her decide.'

"Please," Pegasus spoke to Harbinger.  "I'll give you anything if you just leave me unharmed.  Just name it an it's yours."  Harbinger's face fell.

"Give back the bodies and souls of Mr. Motou (thanks to Haruka Kumoshiro  for the correction in spelling ^_^),Seto Kaiba(?), and Mokuba Kaiba(?), and the money from the tournament."

"That's the original bet, though.  There must be something you want." Pegasus pursued.  Harbinger's face darkened, and she lowered her voice.

"The one thing I want Pegasus, is something you cannot give me," she said, darkly.

"What would that be?" Yami asked, surprisingly curious.  She just looked into his eyes and said:

"My freedom."  There was a pause.  "I don't know how  long ago, but when I was fourteen, and I'm fifteen now, I was imprisoned in this card, by the creator himself.  Pegasus."

"What?  I never imprisoned anyone…wait I did.  But I never imprisoned anyone in a playing card!"

"Pegasus, you knew the holograph field was connected to the E.P.M (the electric pulse machine; chapter one).  You knew if you used the holograph field while the E.P.M was on something would grow terribly wrong.  Yet, you insisted to do it.  And LOOK what it resulted in!  Or do you not remember?  Do you not remember what happened, what the machines did, what two certain things disappeared?  Do you not even remember me?  You certainly remember that card you finished that day."  Harbinger added crossly.  * Pegasus' mouth drops open and a look of fear spilt over his face * *Pegasus stumbles backwards *

"No.  It…it can't be!  It just can't!"

"Oh really?  And why can't it?"

"K-K-K-K-Ktara?" Pegasus asked meekly.

"You know, I tried and I tried to be a good daughter to you, through all of your training you forced me through.  You had give me a home, and I had thought it was a permanent one, but I guess I was wrong.  I guess I wasn't enough for you, just like I wasn't enough for all of my other homes."

"But I didn't know!  I didn't!"

"Quit trying to fool yourself.  Pegasus, it's right there in your mind, eating away at you.  I personally would have thought you'd be used to it by now, with all of the terrible things you do."  Harbinger snapped.

"I have one question," Yami spoke up.

"* sigh *  What is it?"

"You weren't in my deck before.  How come you were in it today?"

"You of all people should know.  You do not choose the cards you have in your deck.  The cards choose you (if this line sounds too much like the line from Harry Potter I am so, so, so, so, so, so sorry!  Please don't sue me!  If it makes you feel better, I don't own this line!  J.K Rowling owns it!  I just twisted it a little, like fanfics twists the plot and a bit of the characters' personalities.  Sorry if I'm a little over dramatic, I just don't want to be sued!).  Unlike most cards, I wander around, looking for someone who needs help.  But I'm very pick to whom I help.  Now, go get your winnings."

Yugi…I mean Yami walked over to Pegasus and collected his prizes.  Upon walking back though, Harbinger…I mean Ktara blocked his path.  "Hey, what's the deal?"

"The deal is this.  I did something to help you out, so now you have to help me."

"Wha?"

"You heard me."

{What are you doing?}

[What does it look like I'm doing?]

{Please, just let it drop.  I want to go home.  Please. /o_o\}

[No.]

Yata turn, and for the first time, looked into the duelist's face, ending up stumbling backward with a look of horror on her face.  "Forget about it!" she ordered.  "Goodbye!"  With that, she disappeared.

/That was weird./

//Don't I know it.  Don't I know it.//
