Chapter 5: Grades
They all smirked winningly as they finally made the arrangements. So it seemed that like every other group of shady men the big five of Kaiba Corp had their own "Little Conncetions" These connections were going to be the very thing to drive the young Crawford gilr insane. They knew her weakness and would use it to their advantage.

Seto sat down Mokuba quickly moving over so that his brother could sit in the window seat of the Limo, he frowned. "Big Brother, where exactly are we going again?" He asked with a frown, he hoped it wasn't some stupid meeting and he couldn't get anyone to watch him. "Let me guess you couldn't find a baby sitter right?" Seto chuckled a little bit, "Actually Mokuba in a way we're playing babysitter, a friend of mine at school is very sick, she needs someone to help her and would probably like it if it was a friend, not a servant." He remarked Mokuba's eyes widened a little, did Seto actually seem concerned about this "friend"?
They arrived at the Crawford house just as the sun began to set. There were only a few lights on in the victorian house and it had Seto worried that Danielle's wasn't one of them. They walked up to the door and Mokuba after much begging finally got to ring the doorbell. "Hello Master Kaiba, and young master Mokuba, how nice to see you, I supose you wish to talk to mistress Celestia right?" The young girl seemed perky enough, and Seto was sure that it annoyed Danielle to no end. "Celestia? I thought you said her name was Danielle." Mokuba remarked, "It is, she prefers to be called by her middle name when it doesn't envolve matter of business." He answered and then turned back to the girl. "Yes where is she?" he asked formally. "She's up in the Masters room, she's recently been spending alot of time up there." He frowned "What's that suposed to mean?" Mokuba asked obviously getting tired of having to stand around. "It means she's in Pegasus's room." Mokuba automatically frowned "Pegasus as in the guy who kidnapped me and locked us in cards?" He nodded reluctantly. "You have a crush on Pegasus's daughter!?" Seto's mouth dropped open, it was one of those moments where he wanted to kill Mokuba. "I do not have a crush on her!" He remarked walking into the house. "She's upstairs as I said, I'll show you." remarked the girl leading them up the stairs. Throwing open the doors to the room Danielle was assumed to be in. The lights dim, only consiting of a few lamps, the sunsets light from behind the curtains and the light that the open door left in the room. There was the steady sound that the equipment made, Pegasus lay on the bed, a pale form almost like a corpse if not for the faint breathing, lying under soft lavender colored sheets, the same color he noted as the mans eyes. There seemed to be no one else in the room, a pile of blankets laying in the floor of the noticably cold room were all that stood out. "Mistress, you've got guests." She remarked gently poking her foot at the blankets on the floor. To Seto's suprise the blankets moved slightly and slowly fell back with a slight wimpering noise. Danielle slowly came out from under them, a Teddy bear clutched in her hands, dressed in a spagetti strapped night gown, white in color. She frowned seeming even paler than normal she whiped sleep out of her green eyes. "Seto," She groaned sleepily. He slowly came down to her level and chuckled a bit as he ruffled the uneven red strands. "You need to get out more." He remarked, she frowned his jokes never seemed to make her do what he intended them to do, laugh. "Is this all you do, lie under the covers and hope he wakes up soon?" He asked with a frown as the doors closed leaving them in the dim light. Until Mokuba decided it was to dark and turned on the lights. She winced at the newly found light. "Yes, I know it might seem strange, but I want things to go back to the way they were, and everything to be happy like when I was little." She frowned and looked to the bed. "You mean you were actually happy with someone like him?" Stupid Mokuba running his big mouth without thinking, he was so getting a lecture when he got home. "I know, it's far to hard to belive." She frowned deeper, was she always this depressed? she needed a therapist. He was thinking to much about her, but in a strange way he cared about the girl. Which was definatly wrong, first of all someone like her would never be intrested in him, second of all she was Pegasus's daughter, the same person who had locked both Mokuba and himself in cards! He if anyone needed a check up from the neck up.
"You mean he wasn't always the way he was at duelist kingdom?" Mokuba frowned. She thought for a moment, "Pegasus J. Crawford chairman of Industrial Illusions and my father are two diffrent people." He frowned, perhaps if he woke up, he would be a diffrent person. Perhaps not, perhaps she only saw him as he was when he was younger without the eye.

The next morning at school Danielle walked in and took her seat and Malik who was smiling unplesantly his head burried in a book with both hands resting on top of it. "I am so gonna fry tonight!" He frowned unhappily. "Come on Malik your report card isn't that bad." Ryou smiled a little as the teacher walked up and handed Danielle her grades. She opened the envelope and Malik looked over her shoulder. "I hate you, you do know that don't you?" Ryou chuckled slightly, "Don't worry he doesn't mean anything by it." She smiled a little, perhaps smiling would help her feel better. "So what did you make?" Yugi asked leaning over the desk towards the three. "I got an F in Math, a D in Literature, and the rest were either C's or B's." malik sighed "Any suggestions or are you just going to send flowers to the funeral?" They all laughed at this, "Because Isis is going to kill me!" He frowned and lay his head down on his desk. "I'd kill to have your grades Danielle." He remarked. "By the way what did you make?" Yugi asked with a slight smile. She showed him the report card which consisted of all A's each a little over a hundred percent. "Wow, I'm thankful for just getting A's and B's but strait A's!" Ryou smiled at her, the rest were amazed at the girls grades. "Man Isis would love you!" Malik remarked "Oh, now Malik you know she loves you to she just loves you even more when you make an A or three on your report card." Yugi remarked with a slight sarcastic smile. "So what would you suggest?" Malik frowned deeper Ryou thought for a moment "Peer tutoring?" Malik's face contorted to a look of digust "With anyone but Isis, the peer Tutor from Hell!" He proclaimed and they all laughed "Your really convinced that Isis is the reincarnate of the devil aren't you?" Yugi frowned "She seems nice enough to me." Mali laughed "Yeah right international super..." Just as he was about to say something a teacher walked in (They had a subsitiute on that day.) "Malik Ishtar your sister is here to pick you up." His face contorted to a look that said 'Hide me please!' "They called her already! " a look of stunned amazement covered his dark face as he got up bowed to the group as he grabbed his stuff and said "Ryou next assembly tell Bakura to come." He remarked and then turned to everyone else, "Try to remember me as you see me today, not what I'll be tommorow...Dead." He gulped and walked off mutter diffrent prayers in several diffrent languages.

They walked home the three of them Malik wearing an unamused frown. "Honestly! I can't belive her!" He grumbled then turned around and started walking backwards begining his impression of Isis by pointing a finger threatningly at Ryou "Honestly Malik I'm very disappointed in you!" The two of them began laughing, Danielle's laughter more a soft giggle than anything, she had forgotten how to actually laugh. "Honestly little miss International Super Bitch..." He frowned when they didn't laugh Ryou raised a hand and pointed for him to look behind him, only to be greeted by a pair of angry dark blue eyes. Isis's Dark blue eyes, the black haired eygptian stood her hands on her hips tapping her foot angerily and Maliks eyes widened in fear. "Oh...Isis...Dear sister..." He chuckled nervously and unconvincingly "Malik, I'm very disapointed in the way your behaving, your grades are slipping." At this he began to mock her. "Yeah, yeah I know Isis I'll try harder, now if you'll excuse us." He started to walk past his angry sister only to be intercepted by her arm. "No way Malik, perhaps you might want to consider asking this girl that makes strait A's that you told me about to tutor you considering what I say." He sighed as he finished her sentence "goes in one ear and out the other, you need new material sis." He then turned to Danielle, "Could you perhaps do as Isis requests and tutor me?" Isis's mouth dropped open as the girl nodded "Sure, I have nothing else to do."
