Forever Love
The Story of the Yamia Isis
[A/N: This is my first Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfic, but I think it is pretty interesting. What if the holders of the Millenium Items were aided by magically gifted helpers called the Millenium Guardians? And what if one of the Guardians fell for Kiaba? Interested yet? If so, read, review and enjoy. :) -- Kat. ]
Prolog
It was inconceivable, but he had lost. Maximillion Pegasus shook his head as he thought about the crushing defeat he had suffered at the hands of Yugi and his millenium puzzle piece, Yami. Clenching his fists in rage, he continued to stare blankly out of the window of his large bedroom in the Duelist Kingdom. He would have his revenge.
As he turned to walk away from the window, the sound of a voice of unearthly beauty caught his ears. It - or more specifically she - was singing. Sticking his head out so that he could see more clearly, he found the siren walking along the beach. And that's what she was; no other words would justly describe her. Though reluctant to leave the window and miss her performance, he went to the large double-doored closet on the other side of the room and took his jacket off of the hanger. What was she doing on his island?
It did not take him long to make his way through the passageways of the castle, out the doors to the main entrance, and on his way down the path to the beach. He had lived on the island a very long time. Long before Duel Monsters had ever been words in his competitors vocabularies. As he moved closer to the mystery woman, he realized that more then just her voice was beautiful. She was tall and thin, with flaming red hair that cascaded down her back, and huge green eyes that glittered like precious stones. He would have her. That he decided without a second thought.
He must have been walking to loud, because as he drew nearer she turned to face him, her eyes wide with surprise. When she had finished her song, she looked at him, seeming to be evaluating his very soul, before she began to speak. " Who are you? "
" Shouldn't I be asking you that? " Pegasus asked, " You are on My island. "
" My apologies for any inconveniences. There was a storm, and my boat took serious damage. I am Angelica Sweet, an archeologist specializing in the study of ancient Egypt. Why am I telling you that? " she shook her head, her hair still soaked from her unexpected adventure. " I will have it fixed soon and be on my way. "
" Oh, dear. I hope you did not take my words the wrong way. " Pegasus said, suddenly dismayed. Had his pride ruined a chance at having her stay? " Surely you must be exhausted. Come and stay in my castle. "
Angelica smiled, " Thank you. That would be lovely. You still haven't told me your name yet, though. "
Pegasus offered her his hand as they stared to walk towards the castle, the light from the full moon giving them a path to follow. " I am Maximillion Pegasus. Miss Sweet, I believe you were trying to get to the Duelist Kingdom to speak to me about the origins of Duel Monsters. "
" Yes! " she nodded vigorously at this, then smiled, " What luck! My research is not ruined after all. Thank goodness. And my cards were not damaged, either… "
" You play? " This surprised him. Most people thought that Duel Monsters was just a card game for kids. If only they knew the truth, Pegasus thought, smirking. If one found the items, they could obtain the power to unleash armegeddon. Did Angelica know that? He could not help wondering. She looked like a pretty smart, no nonsense type person. Shaking his head, he held the door open for her when they reached the castle. He would see in time.
" Yes, I play. Not very well, mind you, but that's not really the point. " she gave him a little smile. Excellent, she knew her place. She would not question him about the millenium puzzle. If she did, well, he would deal with it when it happened. Right now she looked cold and hungry. The interview could definitely wait.
" Perhaps I could teach you a bit. " he suggested, as they walked down the hall in his private wing of the castle, " What do you think? "
" That would be fun. " she said, following him into a guest room. Like taking candy from a baby. She was going to be eating out of the palm of his hand in no time.
*+*+*
" This is a really lousy joke, Seto! " Mokuba shouted as he ran down the velvet carpeted hallway of the Kaiba mansion. As he turned to race down the stairs he decided he liked it better before his brother had decided to play a prank on him. Seto's sense of humor was downright frightening.
Still no sound came from his assailant, and Mokuba's fears began to present themselves. He had not seen the person chasing him. What if it wasn't Seto? He dismissed this as he raced into the kitchen. Who could have broken into their house? Glancing around he stopped, shocked. The kitchen was empty. Where were chief and Ms. Murray?
Hands reached out from behind and grabbed him, one wrapping around his middle and one clamping tight over his mouth. He kicked and struggled, but it was no use. Something hit him over the head and sent him spiraling into darkness. The last thought he had before going out cold was that whoever had done this was going to be sorry when Seto found them.
*+*+*
" Mokuba! " Seto called as he walked through the front door to the mansion. He could not wait to see his little brother after a long day at Kaiba Corp. He had been held in a boring meeting with a potential client much longer then he would have liked, and had picked up a pizza from Pizza Hut for dinner, since he had told Ms. Murray and Chief that he would be late. Now, with his surprise dinner in hand, Mokuba was nowhere to be found. Dammit!
The house seemed much too quiet for Seto's liking. Where was the usual racket of Blink 182 or the Beastie Boys? Or at least one of the video games, or a movie, in the den? The place looked totally deserted. Entering the kitchen, his heart began to pound.
Mokuba's favorite baseball cap lay in the middle of the floor, and chief and Ms. Murray were tied up in the corner, wearing blindfolds and gags. Hurrying to untie them, Seto continued to scan the room for any more clues. " What happened here? "
" Someone … err, a bunch of someones … got Mokuba. " Ms. Murray said, her voice filled with concern, " He thought it was you when he came barreling in here. At first cook and I thought there was some silly joke going on. But then … "
" Yes? " Seto asked, his dark blue eyes staring at them relentlessly.
" Well…. That's the bad news, Mr. Kaiba. We don't exactly know. They came out of nowhere! " Chief said, " They had us tied and gagged within a matter of seconds, and they must have knocked Mokuba out… "
" What? " Seto shouted, pounding a fist on the table, " Who would…? Oh, when I find out who has him… "
" You need to calm down, Seto. Getting upset is not going to help Mokuba. " Ms. Murray coaxed. " But I still can't think of anyone who would want to - "
" Pegasus. " Seto said, turning on his heel and heading for the front door, " And he's not going to get away with it. "
" Mr. Kaiba, wait! " Chief shouted, running after him, " You got this in the mail. It looks important. "
Seto stopped long enough to let chief catch up with him and took the letter. Opening it and scanning its contents he stuffed it into his pocket. " Jesus Christ! "
[ End Notes: Who's got Mokuba? Will Angelica stay with Pegasus? What's up with Kaiba? And where are the others, anyway? All shall be revealed as Forever Love continues. ]
