Chapter 3: Breaking
"You don't belive in miracles," Ryou looked oddly at the red haired girl. "Why not?" She simply stood up. "You say because it happens it's a miracle, why?" Ryou frowned at her. "Because it's something you asked for, because you prayed for it and it happened, something impossible happened to you and you consider it a miracle." He stood up she only let out mocking chuckle. "Then I have a reason, nothing like that has ever happened to me. I stopped beliving in miracles a long time ago Ryou." She snickered slightly "And your stupid for beliving in them, Miracles and wishes are things from fairy tales that should be forgotten when you become a teenager." Ryou frowned "Your the ones who's stupid for not beliving it." He remarked and she turned towards him a slight smirk on her face. "Fine, tell me, tell me Ryou Bakura have you every experience a miracle? Have you had a wish that seemed impossible come true?" Ryou shook his head. "No but that doesn't mean you can't belive in them." She shook her head.
"Miracles only happen to the lucky, Ryou and neither you nor I are lucky, never will we experience a miracle, or my father would be with me now." With this she walked away. "So belive in your Sakura trees, your wishes and your miracles, none of it is real and your innoncence will be the very thing that causes you to fail in life. No one can succeed in good spirits."

Ryou sat on the couch that night looking up at the ceiling pondering what Danielle had said. "She didn't seem to belive in this because of her father, why does she seem so familiar all of a sudden?" He asked no one in particular. His Yami was upstairs doing only God knows what and could care less about what the girl had said. "Perhaps she really is of some relation to Pegasus, and whatever happened to him is making her think this." There was a voice from the stairs as Bakura walked down the stairs in a blue bathrobe. "Perhaps you think to much Hikari. Stop paying attention to her, anyone who can talk like that is on the verge of a mental breakdown anyways, I say she's got about a week before they check her in and we don't see her again til Senior year." He remarked with a slight chuckle. "That's not funny Yami."

Yugi looked over to Yami, "Yami, Ryou didn't seem like he was in good spirits after Danielle left, and Danielle never seems like she's happy, do you think she said something to him?" Yami shook his head "I wouldn't doubt it, Yugi, there's just something about that girl that isn't right. The first day she seemed in good spirits just soft spoken, the next she was just plain unhappy, then all of sudden she seems like she's either going to commit suicide, or wind up getting checked into a mental institute." He frowned deeply, "I worry but yet I feel like I know her somehow." Yugi looked at his Yami with wide eyes "What do you mean Yami?" He frowned deeper at Yugi's question "I get the same Aura with only a few diffrences that I got when Pegasus was near at Duelist kingdom." He frowned as did Yugi. "You mean there might be some connection between the two?" He asked Yami shook his head "I don't know Yugi, I don't know maybe we should just go eat something and forget for now."

*Flashback*
Danielle clasped onto her fathers hand, small pale fingers barely large enough to hold onto her fathers fingers, she was always little, she had to be taken early because her mother was slowly dying, she luckily wasn't passed the same illness at birth. This however had left her very small like a doll and at the age of six Danielle unlike most her age could fit at least three other hands her size into her fathers palm alone. She looked at the other children who were running wildly about throwing things at eachother, the girls playing with their dolls, she clasped her other arm tightly around a stuffed animal, a rabbit that she carried everywhere, when she was scared and her father couldn't be there to help her.
After he left everything went black for her, screams and the soft cotton that had once filled the precious stuffed animal falling to floor. It was then that it was decided she could never be normal. It was that event, and her father leaving her alone. It was then that everything fell apart and she lost her faith in things like miracles.
*Flashback*
She looked at her arm in an awestruck stupor. The fresh trail of blood, the torn black cloth of her school uniform. Her hand clasping a pair of scissors the sharp blade dripped with blood, hers to be specific. Her eyes wheled with tears as she remembered. 'Just face it CELESTIA, you can never be normal espescially not with all your problems, now go, go work on your freakish little drawings and leave us people with lives alone.' They had all laughed at her after this remark, 'Yeah, but I'd watch it guys she might be the next carrie, "They're all gonna laugh at you!"' She remebered the clearly as if the ones saying it were right there, and had begun the cruel chant of those words 'They're all gonna laugh at you!' over and over again, she held her hands clasping her hair, tears falling wildly as she curled into a fetal position on the cold hardwood floor. "Leave me alone, please!" She yelled out to no one, "Daddy, please help me..." Slowly she lead the scissors to her hair cutting it unevenly for no reason it was like she couldn't even control herself.

Malik smiled a little as he saw Danielle standing near the cherry tree on the school grounds she seemed a little down yesterday. If only he knew, he spotted a bandage on her arm her uniform was ripped just to a little past it. She stared into oblivion. 'Is there something wrong with her?' He thought to himself as he took a step forward. "Danielle, are you okay?" He walked a step closer to her. Her hair was short now once it was a least her waist, now it was short, unevenly cut and not even past her shoulders, it was still long and if anything was the same length as Tea`'s hair. "What happened to you?" She didn't answer only continued her blank stare. "Did you get mugged or something, come on say something!" She softly said something. "What?" She spoke again "Yes I'm fine Malik." She answered soflty but at hearing level. "Your alright! God you look like you've been hit by a truck, or a train or something!" he nearly yelled at the girl grabbing her shoulders. "How can you say your alright." She softly spoke again "Please leave me alone." With this she walked off.

Seto blinked a few times as Celestia, or as she prefered to be called Danielle entered the room. Her hair unevenly cut, barely longer than Tea`'s. Her eyes were dulled as though she no longer felt anything, she was just a walking souless vessel. 'What has she done to herself?' Apperantly Yugi and the others had the same question and walked over to the girl.
______________________________________________________________
"Danielle what have you done to yourself?" Yugi asked worry and concern mixing in his voice. "You look horrible and your hair, what did you do just take the scissors and wack parts of it off?" Joey asked getting a elbow from Tea, "You look like death warmed over." Ryou remarked placing a hand on her shoulder she looked up to him muttered words barely audible. "You see why I don't belive in miracles now?"
