Chapter 5: Letter

            Ann sat on the porch of a tan house with blue shudders, her home. The wind blew calmly, ruffling her brown curly hair in random directions. She was watching the sky; it had become a dark red in a matter of minutes. It was an excellent sight combined with the white snow in the trees and on the ground. Her mind was thinking quickly; she was put on watch for Pegasus about 2 hours ago. But for some reason he had not shown up, this was making the hairs on the back of her neck stand. If she knew Pegasus correctly, he probably knew they knew of his presence. However, she was not sure if he has the millenium eye in his possession or if it's in the TombRobber. She didn't think anyone knew, but she would soon. The door opened behind her, Marie, Tea, Kyle came out. Marie and Tea had a leather jackets on while her and Kyle didn't.  For some reason Marie always had problems with cold while she was fine in heat; Ann was the opposite. Marie shivered but smiled at her sister.

"We'll take over from here Ann…" Ann nodded and entered the house. She walked down the short hallway into the kitchen to find Kaiba and Bill sitting at the table, they were working on the broken expresso machine.

"Screw Driver…" Bill handed him a screwdriver. Kaiba took it and started tweaking something in the machine; Bill watched intently. Mokuba was at the table drinking some hot cocoa from the 5 boxes they had picked up. Joey and Tristin were in the next room watching television, some kind of cartoon. Yugi and Bakura had found her gameboy dueling game; Yugi was playing and Bakura watching over his shoulder. Ann smiled, she didn't mind because she had finished it a while ago.  Yami was no where to be seen. Ann decided to surf the net on the news, that way she would not be yelled at if she changed the channel. She climbed down the stairs slowly and stopped dead in her tracks at the scene. Yami had his back turned to her sitting in a wheely chair clicking the mouse. Ann's face turned the color of chalk as she saw what he was looking at. Fan fics… Yu-gi-oh fan fics. His violet orbs scanned back and forth, reading every line on the screen. Ann read the title of the story, Ann nodded her head in approval it was a good one. Yami noticed her movements; his head turned now the violet circles on her.  She stopped her head bobbing and just stared at him. It was a few seconds before she could say something.

"That's a good one…" She said slowly, he still gave her the creeps. He nodded his head slowly. Before either of them could continue they heard a loud laughter up stairs. Before she knew what she was doing she found herself haft way up the stairs with Yami behind her. Ann jumped the last 3 steps up and slid on the wooden floor to the front of the family room. Ann stopped dead at what she saw. Bill was on the couch drinking an expresso; Joey and Tristin were looking under Bill where Kaiba was sitting; their faces white in surprise. Kaiba was laughing very hard, red faced and tears streaming from his blue eyes. Ann's eyes widened in shock. If she had seen this on TV she would have thought of the episode as a fake, Seto Kaiba NEVER laughed at anything in pure humor, and it was like he had none. But now Kaiba sat there laughing so hard the he had now fallen over rolling on the floor holding his stomach. Ann looked at Bill, who had an odd expression on his face but not as shocked as Ann's; she spoke hoarsely.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HIM?"   Bill looked at her like it was an every day occurrence; he opened his mouth wide and spoke normally.

"I didn't do anything… he just started watching cartoons and well…" His eyes jerked at Kaiba on the floor. Ann nodded slowly, and backed away from the odd scene. She bumped into Bakura that was behind her; she looked back at him quickly. He blinked at her; he was holding yet another expresso. It was clear it was fixed, how it broke was a mystery though. She felt her face go red in embarrassment as she retreated into the basement, why she blushed was a mystery to her but she didn't like it. She hit her forehead with the palm of her hand and started talking to herself. She always did this when she did things wrong or embarrassed herself. She rolled her eyes at what an idiot she could be; she shook her head and didn't let it bother her. She sat down in her own wheely chair and turned on her computer; it took a few minutes to fully load like always. She clicked around and started reading Fan fics; she did that for a few hours until she realized it was her turn to go on watch again. She grumbled as she turned off the computer and started walking up the stairs; the lights were on in two rooms Kitchen and living room. She looked out the window into a pitch black she couldn't see past, she got her jacket from the broom closet in the hall way and put it on while walking to the door. Her shoes were still on; she turned the knob and started talking.

"Okay Marie I'll take over from here-," She stopped. Marie, Tea, and Kyle were no where to be found, gone.

"MARIE? TEA? KYLE? Where are you?!?!?" She waited no reply came.

"Come on guys with isn't funny!" She took a step forward and something crunched under her foot. She looked down at a pink piece of paper folded nicely on the porch but now with a big sneaker mark on it. She looked at it puzzled for a moment but bent down and picked it up carefully. She opened it and read it in the dim light the window made.

Dear Yugi, friends, and Ann's,

            If you wish to see Ann, Bill, & Tea alive again you will meet me in Egypt… I know you will find away. If you don't…Well, you know what will become of them.

                                                                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                                             ~Maximillon Pegasus

Ann held the paper in shock and disbelief. He took Marie, Kyle, and Tea to EGYPT?!?! And worse of all it was suppose to be her, She had and could be confused with her sister many times before and probably in the future. Now she would have really like to crush his skull in for kidnapping her sister, Kyle, and Tea. She walked back into the house and stood in front of Yugi white in the face; he looked up at her. She handed him the letter wordlessly and found the kitchen table and chair, she sat in the chair silently in total shock. It was a matter of seconds before every one knew got the picture. Yugi was red and very angry look on his face; everyone but Kaiba, Mokuba, and Bill were trying to calm him.  Kaiba was silent with no expression, Mokuba was looking his brother concerned, and Bill was now at Ann side. He was waving his hand in front of her face, but she saw nothing around her. She was lost in her head from the shock and confusion that suddenly hit her.

She suddenly awoke some time later to loud shouting. She looked up slowly at the middle of the room; Yami and Kaiba were almost nose-to-nose and arguing. Bill was right next to Kaiba watching both of them speaking closely. Ann could hear them fine from where she sat in the kitchen.

"We should go back to our world!" Kaiba shouted. Bill leaned in and opened his mouth.

"Can I go with you?"  Kaiba shoved him away to the side.

"We can not with out solving the problem we have created, and Tea." Yami replied calmly. Kaiba shouted at him.

"They're NOT my Concern!" He turned around to find Ann right behind him. Her face had gone a red color, her fists white and clenched, Brown eyes flashed dangerously. Some kind of unknown rage was controlling her mind and body now. Her nails dug into the flesh in her hands, painfully but she ignored it. She glared at him and opened her mouth wide fueling all her rage into her voice. It came out louder than 20 car alarms.

 "MY SISTER DOES NOT CONSIRN YOU?!?!? WELL LISTEN UP PUNK! WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MARIE WOULD BE LIKE PEGASUS TAKING MOKUBA AWAY FROM YOU!" Ann paused for a moment.

"OH WAIT! HE ALREADY DID THAT!" Kaiba's eyes widened. Ann continued, releasing all her anger.

"AND YOU WENT TO SAFE HIM, BUT THEN YOU COULDN'T EVEN SAFE YOUR SELF! YUGI PULLED YOU OUT OF THAT MESS…AND WHAT THANKS DO YOU GIVE HIM? NOTHING! YOU WALK ALL OVER HIM. HOW DOES IT FEEL KAIBA? TO KNOW YOU ARE A COLD HEARTED MONSTER THAT CAN'T EVEN SAVE YOUR BROTHER…" Kaiba's face went white, he was speechless. Ann continued but not as loudly.

"Go back, GO! Take your brother and flee like the whimpering dog YOU are, Kaiba. You're nothing but a washed up has been that can't even help anyone now…" She turned and walked away, now tears started to fall down her pale cheeks. She started to run up the stairs and into her room and slammed her door with unknown force that made the house shudder. She kicked the side of her wall and would be surprised later. She had made a pretty good size hole in it. She shouted in more anger and started denting up her pink walls with sneaker marks but not as bad as the first. After about a good 10 minutes of denting and bellowing she slid down her down where she suddenly ended, tears soaking her face. She took a few gasping breaths and calmed her mind; her body was still shaking from the anger. She looked around at the damage she had done and was glad that she had left the room; she could have killed someone. It took her another 20 minutes to calm her body down; she then relaxed in the quiet that filled her room. Her mussels felt weak, she loosely hung her knees. She began to think, mostly about the letter. No matter what, she will get her sister and Kyle out of there. But how… She got up and paced; pacing always helped her think. The door creaked a little. Her head swung in the direction of it to see Bakura's head in the crack. She stopped pacing and looked at him.

"Can we come in?" Ann nodded and watched him, Bill, Yami, & Yugi enter the room. Bill and Bakura's faces went white at the sight of what she did to her room. Yami looked around with out an expression on his face; Yugi just looked at her. She shrugged at Bill and Bakura and looked at Yugi. No body said anything for a while; Ann decided to break the silence.

"If you guys are to go home I'll go to Egypt myself and bring them back with or without-"

"Kaiba is staying here." Yami broke it calmly.  Ann stopped; she was surprised. Yami continued.

"Kaiba has also agreed to pay for air plane tickets?" He looked at Yugi to make sure. Yugi nodded.

"Yes, plane tickets." Ann nodded, very shocked indeed. Bill said something.

"We are to leave tomorrow… and were going to on a place for 12 hours…" Bill grimaced; it was obvious that he wasn't a "flying"person. Ann chuckled at him. Bakura grinned, and Yugi made a nervous chuckle. Yami looked at them in confusion; he hadn't a clue what they were talking about. Yugi gave him an "I'll explain later look". Yami nodded. Ann nodded at them. There was long silence; not a word was spoken. Bakura looked around the room and broke it.

"You must care about your sister very much…" Ann looked at him, and spoke directly at him with a smile on her face.

"Yes, I do… she was always there for me. But now…" She wiped a newly shed tear away from her face.

"Sorry… I didn't mean to sound so solemn…" She suddenly said scratching the back of her head nervously. Bill laughed a little at her reaction. Yugi looked at her with a sorry expression on his face. She knew that he knew how she felt, a little. Before he could say anything she looked at the clock.

"Um… it's 10:00 clock…" Everyone looked at the clock on her nightstand in surprise. She looked around her room and stated.

"Me and Bill will take this room…" Yugi nodded as Bakura and Yami left the room; he followed him out and went to tell Kaiba. Bill looked at her and said plainly.

"You know, Kaiba looked really upset after you left and what you said…" He finished slowly. Ann didn't say anything she just fell on the bed and closed her eyes immediately. Bill started to talk even more but Ann was too tired to under stand any of it; it came in murmurs. She finally got too annoyed and said tiredly.

"Bill."

"Yes?"

"Two words, Shut-Up."
