Chapter 8: Trying again.
There was a knock at the door sometime that afternoon. Ryou walked down the stairs to open it only to be greeted by the face of Seto Kaiba. "Seto! Mokuba! What are you doing here?" He asked trying not to sound rude but not being able to hide the shock in his voice at the sight of the brown haired CEO and his younger brother. Mokuba spoke up "I convinced my big brother that it was time to take a much needed vacation, and we thought it would be nice to see you." He said cheerfully. Seto smiled slightly. "By 'We' he means himself, begging me for two days straight to come here." Ryou laughed slightly and the sound of Bakura coming the stairs was heard "Ryou who was it Washu said that... Kaiba!" at that moment the tomb robber fell the rest of the way down the stairs langing with a tumb and rubbing his sore butt with a look of agony on his pale face. "What are you doing here?" He asked as he grabbed the baneister for support and pulled himself up. Kaiba smirked slightly "Nice to see you too." The tomb robber glared at him, "Washu said what?" Ryou looked over to Bakura who was walking towards the kitchen. "Never mind I'll get it myself, she needs some more ice water for Danielle, once she actually regains her senses she's going to have a major headache or at least or favorite little genius say so." He added in with a bit of sarcasm as the kitchen door slammed.
"Danielle? I don't belive you mentioned her when we talked." Kaiba looked intrested as Rou motioned for them to come in and they both sat their bags down and followed Ryou up the stairs. "She's one of the girls who lives here, she had a bad dream while she was asleep and rolled off the couch and hit her head HARD on the coffee table." Ryou said as he opened the door to the room, which was suprisingly cool seeing how hot it was. The source was a small fan on the nightstand next to Danielle's bed. The red haired girl lay on the bed a the cold cloth on her forehead as Bakura walked in carrying a fresh bowl. Washu sat beside her a look of concern on her face. "Thank you Bakura." She said, the whit eaired spirit walked out of the room "Yeah, yeah I know, I'm gonna go find Ryoko, you guy's are making me depressed all worried because of some stupid dream involving that idiot Pegasus." Seto shook his head "Pegasus?" He turned to Ryou an expression telling that he wanted an answer. Ryou sat down on the side of Danielle's bed. "First of all Mokuba, you might want to meet Sasami she's downstairs in the kitchen." He said Mokuba nodded knowing that this would need to be a private conversation, Washu noticed also and followed the black haired boy.
"Now." Kaiba looked at the girl who was staring blankly at the ceiling seemingly oblivous to the two's preceinse. "Explain, why would she have a dream about Pegasus?" He sat down at the girls feet blue eye's studying her as he listened to Ryou.
"She has the ability to track down the Millenium items and make them all obey her commands, or at least that's what Washu said." He gently brushed a stray hair off the girls face. "Apperantly Kagato the one who 'created' her is still alive and is using a certain someone or at least his Persona to try to get her in her dreams." He sighed "If he does then nothing is safe, and I'm worried." He laughed slightly. "Trouble always seems to follow me around doesn't it Seto?" He tried to hide the worry, he was never good a lying.
"Some people have lives like that, I was sealed in a card for crying out loud Ryou!" Seto said trying to make him feel better. It failed, Ryou looked down at Danielle with brown eye's filled with concern. "What if something happens to her, I love her Seto, as more than just a friend." He laughed as he wiped away a forming tear on his face. "It seems like both my Yami and I have found love here. He has Ryoko and I have her, but Ryoko's srong, and Danielle's in more danger than anyone can think." He cried and Seto sighed and but a hand on his shoulder. "Ryou I'm positive you'll overcome this, and she'll be okay, and you two can be happy, everyone has to have a happy ending." he sighed 'Everyone but me.' He thought suddenly another voice came from the bed "Seto Everyone and you and Mokuba will have a happy ending don't say things like that, why didn't you say that Ryou?" They both exchanged puzzled looks, "What do you mean, he didn't say anything after what he just said." Ryou looked over to Seto who shook his head in astonishment "I was thinking it but I never said it, Danielle can you read minds?" He looked over to the red head who slowly sat up. "No I don't think so, but there are alot of thing about myself I don't know." She said the last part with an air of uncertanity. "I think we need to talk to Washu." Ryou remarked and the three got up and walked down the stairs and into Washu's lab.

Mokuba watched as the girl he now knew as Sasami poured a glass of Lemonade and they walked outside onto the pourch. "So you and your brother are going to be staying with us for a while?" Sasami asked cheerfully swinging her legs off the side of the pourch. "Yep, my brother is always working and I wanted to go somewhere, Ryou said this place seemed pretty peaceful so.." Sasami laughed as he sipped his Lemonade. "It is most of the time, except well it was at one point on a normal occasion that my sister and Ryoko would start to fight over Tenchi." She said sipping her lemonade as well Mokuba looking facinated "But now they don't because Ryoko's found someone else." She said. "Who?" asked Mokuba in an intrested tone "Bakura." Sasami answered and Mokuba nodded. "Wow, and here I thought no one could like Bakura." He laughed. Sasami didn't though "Why?" She asked as she sipped her Lemonade. "Because, he's always so mean when he's in control of Ryou's body." He went on to tell of the events in Battle city, and several other times when Bakura did bad things Sasami listening intrestedly.

Pegasus frowned as he watched the waves, sipping from his wine glass. Kagato stood behind him, a deep frown plastered on his pale face. "I'm disapointed Crawford." He said as he crossed his arms Pegasus paid no attention he was mad himself. 'Damn Stupid little Bakura and his Yami, alway ruining my plans, she was probably out cold until he decided to wake her!' He frowned deeper as he turned to Kagato. "Find someone else to be disappointed at Kagato, I'm trying the best I can, I think it would be best to find some way to get her that can't be inturupted." He said as he sat down and folded his hands neatly in his lap. Kagato walked over to him and grabbed the grey haired man by the throat lifting him up with incredible strength for a man of his size. "Well Mr. Crawford, if you can think of a way to block her from sensing your precense and reading you thoughts I'd love to see a way." He hissed tightning his grip on the mans neck as he begged for him to let him lose. "I already tried to get to her on my own once and wether she knew I was outside or not her mind sensed my precense and she woke up screaming." Pegasus had a pleading look on his face as Kagato tightened his grip on his neck, gasping for air, his feet and legs flailing wildly in the air. "Wether of her own free will or not she cna read the minds of others, and it took me years of beating the child before she stopped looking into my thoughts." Pegasus's eyes widened and Kagato threw him to the floor. Like a scared little mouse he scurred towards the door only to have Kagato stop him and place his foot on his head threatning to beat his head in. "Now then, shall we get the order straight?" He smirked " I'm tired of all your smarting off Crawford. I am as of now you master, and you life rests in my oh-so capable hands. Now are you going to capture her for me or do I just kill you now?" He smirked as the man cowered before him "Yes." Kagato pressed his foot down "Yes what?" He smriked as the man gulped without a doubt having to swallow every bit of that miserable thing he dared to call his pride. "Yes, Master." He spoke the last part with resentment that made Kagato want to kill him then and there. "Good." He chuckled and walked off. 'Bastard' Pegasus thought to himself as the sound of the decorated oak doors closed signaled Kagato had left for some other part of the mansion. 'Make yourself at home bitch.' He frowned to himself as he brushed the dirt off. He shuddered at the thought of what Kagato was going to do to that poor girl once she had served the purpose of finding and sucureing all the items. 'I pity her.' He frowned and walked out of the room.

It was a dream, a flashback maybe, Washu had but her into some comatose state and she was dreaming that had to be it. Washu had said something about needing to examine all the active area's of her mind and in order for her to do that she had to be in some sort of Coma. Ryou had protested he was right in thinking that shemight have the dream again and hurt herself even worse. 'How was I reading Seto's mind? I've heard that if your close enought to a person you can almost tell what their thinking but I don't even know Seto.' She thought to herself as she slowly opened her eye's. She was greeted by Marble floors, the same floor of Soja from her days with Kagato. A smaller version of herself was standing in front of Kagato, a look of absolute hatred on her small face. Kagato spoke of something and then began to walk off. The younger Danielle clinched her fists and Kagato turned back around sending her flying into a wall. She screamed in agony as the older man picked her up by the wrists. "I've broken every bone in your body at least twice how would you like it be three for your poor wrist?" He smirked as the she glared at him her green eye's showing more hatred at the moment than anyone thought possible. "Suit yourself, Danielle, I've told you, never to read my mind." He glared at her as she screamed in agony as the bone in her wrist snapped and she fell to the floor tears filling her hate filled eye's. "I know you Loath me don't you little girl well I have an ideal." He smirked and her eye's widened with fear and she clutched her wrist and tried to run away. Failing, he grabbed her leg and dragged her towards a room who's door had suddenly appeared, he threw the girl onto the bed that was in the room. His hands slipped over her and found their way into her shirt. "Please don't I swear I won't do again just please don't!" The girls small voice echoed before the older man caught her lips almost breaking her neck, blood ran down her lips and he licked it off as tears formed on her cheeks.

Ryou watched as Danielle's body twitched in the sleep, the wires that Wahsu had connected to her in several places attempting to rip themselves out. "What's happening to her Washu?!" He demanded almost yelled at the red haired woman, Seto turned and did the first thing he could think of, he grabbed Danielle's hand and gently stroked it trying his best to calm her down. " I guess somehow the sleep and the ability to read minds spurred her to actually remeber something from her days with Kagato." She frowned "And from the looks of it, the memory isn't very plesant." Ryou shook his head. "Well can't you wake her up?" Washu frowned "No I can take out the equipment but no because of the anetstedic I used which will only wear off after three hours." Ryou almost screamed at the red haired woman. He walked over to Danielle who was still jerking, crying out in her deep sleep, the nightmare about drive her over the edge. Her pulse raced as Ryou slowly pulled her up to him, trying not to rip any of the IV like things in her head. He cupped her face in one hand and gently tapped her face urging her to wake up. "Danielle, if you can hear me please, please try to force yourself awake. Nothing she continued to shake and cry as tears slowly filled her eyes. "Danielle, please! DANIELLE!" He yelled Seto shocked that he was yelling, and at the fear in his voice mixed with anger and annoyance. "DANIELLE WAKE UP DAMN IT!" He screamed shaking her and dropping her back on 'bed' Tears slowly whelled over, as the door opened and Tenchi entered followed by Sasami and Mokuba. "What's going on here?" Tenchi asked frowing "We heard yelling." Tenchi saw the form of Danielle, Seto still holding her hand. Ryou walked back over to her and picked her up. 'I'm sorry, Danielle I was to rough. Please wake up fight the sleep you body has you in, please I can't stand to see you suffer. ' He thought and the sobs contiuned followed by hands wrapping around him "Ryou, It was horrible! Horrible." She cried into his shoulder. Seto placed a hand on her back and she sobbed and rubbed it gently. "Calm down." He urged her, as Ryou gently ran his fingers through her haird as she sobbed into his chest.
