Chapter Three: Duel for Your Freedom

Amethist really hadn't paid attention during any of her classes for the first half of the day, her teacher in the office threatening to call her parents. She was sitting at her desk by herself having a lunch hour detention for not paying attention. Her eyes closed a little and she then looked out the window seeing Yugi sitting under the sakura tree with Tristian, Joey, and Tea. Maybe it was better to be inside, then she wouldn't have to explain to them what was so wrong, yet, Yugi had a sixth sense about things like that.

"Amethist Miyaki?" a voice from the door asked. She blinked in surprise and looked towards the door, one of the boys she'd been spending detention with was staning in front of her desk, behind him was two men with dark shades, her eyes widened when she saw who was standing behind them.

"You…you're Maxamillion Pegasus" she stated at the man with white hair and she watched him move infront of her and looked at the boy handing him a deck of duel monsters cards.

"Yes, indeed I am, I have a proposition for you Mrs Miyaki. If you can beat my little friend here at a duel, then I will take you away from this place and those abusive parents of yours. In fact…I already have one taken care of," he said smirking and held up a duel monster's card, when he turned it around her eyes widened again.

"No! Koji!" she yelled standing up quickly her chair falling over, the boy in front of her not flinching as he took the deck from Pegasus. Somewhree in her mind, she knew what he'd done, but she wasn't sure how, or why she knew this. She clenched her fists as she trembled a bit and watched Pegasus' smirk turn into a full, cruel grin.

"I see you know what I've done, that I can deal with later…if you loose this duel, I'll do the same to you, you could be very valuable to me in the near future" he said pushing a chair up to the desk for the boy he'd taken control of with his Millenium Eye.

"What if I don't want to duel!" she growled looking at him her fists still clenched. One of Pegasus' security guards moved up behind her and he laughed.

"My dear Mrs Miyaki, you have no say in the matter, you will duel or loose your soul to me!" Pegasus said as the security guard forced her to sit back down in her chair. Her gaze lifted to the boy that was very mechanically shuffling his deck.

"Fine then" she muttered pulling out her deck and began to shuffle rather reluctantly. Pegasus grinned watching her.

"Since this duel is for your freedom…among other things…you may go first Mrs. Miyaki" Pegasus said watching the two draw five cards. Pegasus grinned as he watched her draw to start the duel off and looked at her facial expression, using the power of his Millenium Eye he looked into her mind and saw what cards she had in her hand. A Waboku, Summoned Skull, Seven Coloured Fish, Rising Air Current, Fissure, and Enchanted Javelin, not bad for her first draw.

"I play 7 Coloured Fish, in attack mode, and I'll also set down two other cards" she said setting down one trap and one magic. Pegasus grinned using the Eye again and chuckled. Ah…Waboku and Fissure, his grin widened even more as he looked at the boy's hand in front of him. Not bad…a little weak, but effect monsters could be helpful later on in the duel. He nodded and the boy set one monster down in defence and one magic card then nodded to Amethist to go.

Blinking Amethist wondered what kind of game this kid was playing, setting monsters into defence mode definitely wasn't fun. This was turning out to be a very easy duel, well so far atleast. What was Pegasus thinking when he'd used this boy to duel her. She drew her next card and tried to keep her expression straight, perfect, one card in her combo, one that most of her deck was based around.

"I'll set down this one card," she said looking over her hand and grinned looking up at the boy "and then play Summoned Skull in attack mode!" she said putting the card down on the desk. Pegasus clapped his hands and looked at her.

"Now that normally would be a good plan, my dear. But you forgot about this little card here my little doll has played" he said watching the boy flip over his trap card.

"Trap Hole! No way!" she said and growled putting her Skull in the graveyard and shook her head, "whatever, I'll attack with my 7 coloured fish!" she said and blinked when Pegasus laughed again and the boy flipped over a card. Man-Eater Bug. She blinked and sighed, a low defence with a good effect.

"You don't seem to be able to concentrate" Pegasus taunted as his player took a card from his deck and placed it up, speaking in a rather empty, almost hollow voice.

"Dark Magician" he said then nodded to her to go. Her eyes widened, no way, she had only one card in her deck that could beat a Dark Magician, and it would only work for one turn. She closed her eyes and put her hand on her deck concentrating even more as she drew her next card hoping it would be a monster worth playing. She frowned, Trap Master…that had a decent effect, but not one of her better cards.

"I'll set this monster in defence, you may go" she said looking as the boy drew his next card, an almost cold smile crawling over his lips as he played down Neo the Mystic Swordsman.

"Amethist…are you sure it was Kaiba that taught you how to play?" Pegasus taunted. Hearing this Amethist looked up at him in surprise, how had he known that…only those who'd been in the room the other day knew that…and she knew for a fact he wasn't there yesterday when it had been raining.

"I attack…with Dark Magician" the boy said and Amethist put her Trap Master into the graveyard with her Skull and 7 Coloured Fish. She bit her bottom lip Dark Magician had an attack of 2500, she had to get at least two more cards into her hand before she could get a card that even contended with that kind of power.

"Come on girl, we don't have much time. If that bell rings and the duel is not over, you have no choice, you have to come with us" Pegasus said and Amethist growled at him drawing another card. Her eyes widned a moment, she had what she needed to take out Pegasus' Dark Magician. It wasn't what she'd been hoping to get, but it worked just as good.

"I play Labyrinth Wall…in Attack Mode!" she said putting the card down, the attck 0…for now.

"What kind of game is this?" the security guard growled and flipped over her magic card.

"Sword and Shield, making Labyrinth wall 900 points stronger then Dark Magician, and I attack" she said. Pegasus grinned as he watched the boy put Dark Magician into the graveyard, that was what he'd been waiting for.

"Hmmm…a minor setback, now it's time to end this duel" Pegasus said nodding to the boy. She bit her bottom lip, Sword and Shield only worked for one turn, her Wall was vulnerble, but at least his Dark Magician was out of play.

"Monster Reborn" the boy said and Amethist stood up quickly.

"What…no way!" she watched almost horrified as the pulled Dark Magician out and put him onto the battle field, she didn't even have to hear him declare his attack, Dark Magician's attack slaughtered her wall, and drained her of ALL of her life points.

"Ahh!" she said going to back away from them her eyes wide.

"Come come now, we had a deal" Pegasus said standing in front of her.

"I didn't agree to anything!" she said and screamed as a beam of energy shot at her from Pegasus' Millenium Eye. The beam reflected and shattered a window. She blinked in surprise as did Pegasus and everyone outside. She looked to where the blast had scorched through her clothes and her fingers rested on that gold bracelet thing.

"What's this?" Pegasus said and grabbed her wrist looking at it and grinned, "not a Millenium Item, but it protects you from the full effect of my Millenium Eye" he said grabbing her by the shoulders and forcing her to face him.

"Let me go right now!" she yelled struggling in his grasp and trying to yell for help.

"I may not be able to steal your soul, but I can make you into a mindless slave. Pegasus stared at her and the beam of energy shot to her forehead and her eyes widened and she screamed again before her head fell back and Pegasus laughed watching the guards pick her limp body up.

"Now we have all that we need for the time being. Seto Kaiba will have to give up Kaiba Corp. to me!" he said and walked out of the room some of the students and teachers had come running and he stared at them all, using the power of his Millenium Eye to erase their memories of what they'd witnessed. Pegasus grinned as his men put her into the back of his limo and he looked to Mokuba bound and gagged and grinned.

"Hmm…sorry about the poor accomidations, but I can't have you alerting anyone" Pegasus said then snapped his fingers the car driving off, his gaze resting on Yugi and his friends as he drove passed them, the three of them looking kind of clueless and staring at the broken window.

"Soon my love…soon we will be together" he said looking at a small miniture portrait of a young blond woman.

(Okay, so I've come to the conclusion that I can't write duels that well…but for the sake of one of my reviewers, there will be more ^-^() I'm working on it don't worry. Just getting off to a slow start. Anyway, you like? Heh ^-^ I'll update ASAP.
