Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!
Authoress Notes: Princess Pegasus thank's for reveiwing! Anyways to most of your questions Yes, they will stop bothing her but only by a painful death. (Not spoiling it let's just say she goes isane, farther over the edge than she is now.) As for our dear Pegasus, yes when his daughter needs him most someone's going to literally smack him out of it.
/Ryou to Bakura/
//Bakura to Ryou//
As for the flashback in the end of the chapter, I'm not really sure how long Pegasus was head of Industrial Illusions so I'm just making it so that he was long enough to know Gozoburo(Unsure on the spelling.) Kaiba before he "Died"*(Spoilers)

Chapter 8: Off the Deep end
They all smirked as they claimed their victory, gone, far away in a sense, isolated from the world. Celestia Danielle Crawford had finally snapped, and was in no condition to talk to or give commands to anyone.
_______________________________________________________________
Danielle winced to herself as she closed her eyes, everything only got fuzzier with her eyes open. She couldn't concentrate and her thoughts were messed up going from something serious to something insane. What the hell had Kaiba done to her? More specifically had last night been just a dream showing what was to come? The angel of her death, ironically she noted looked exactly except for a few diffrences like Ryou. Voices echoed in her head as she opened her eyes the fuzz has turned into odd shapes and images dancing around the walls and she found herself point and laughing insanely at them as they did stupid things like running into the walls. "Are you sure you want to keep her on this strong a dosage?" Came a slurred male voice, followed by another which was definatly not the voice of Seto Kaiba. "Yes, exactly how strong is it?" The other voice replyed "To put it simply it's your typical drugies dream dosage, she won't be saying or doing anything but laughing hysterically and other insane things for a while." She pictured an older man smirking winningly as he slowly began to walk out of the room. "Good, keep her that way, We'll allow vistiation but she cannot be checked out by anyone but one of us or...her father, which may I add seems unlikely."
_______________________________________________________________
Yugi frowned as he looked to the empty desk, Danielle wasn't at school today and it had them all worried. Ryou remained slient a deep blush forming on his cheeks whenever her name was mentioned. Something then happened that Yugi found severaly odd. Seto walked over to them, Malik frowned and flicked back several blonde hairs "So the famous Seto Kaiba's finally decided he's good enough to talk to us?" He smirked and several of the others agreed and laughed "Don't flatter yourself Ishtar, where's Danielle?" Malik frowned in disgust "Gee Kaiba, can't take a joke?" Seto frowned deeper "Just tell me where Danielle is." He said grabbing the blonde haired boy by the collar of the blue school uniform and a look of fear came into Malik's liliac eyes. "I don't know we're all worried about her she hasn't missed school since the begining of the year." Seto frowned "And?" At this point Malik felt it necessary to change modes..from daring to Teenager to blubbering baby, "And...And... I WANT MY MOMMY!" With this Seto released his hold on Malik who fell to the floor babbling uncontolably. "Geez Kaiba I can see you getting angry over something like an insult but turning Malik into a blubbering idiot because he doesn't know where Danielle was? I'd think you like her." Joey remarked a crude smirk on his face that Seto took pleasure in knocking off. "If I didn't know any better I'd say the little Dog should just go hide in the corner with the blubbering idiot before the big bully knocks him to the moon." That shut him up quickly. At this he began to walk off "And Besides Malik was a blubbering idiot anyways."
_______________________________________________________________
"Seto wait!" Seto turned around to see Ryou running towards him several books under his arm. "What do you want?" Seto asked coldly, Ryou stopped as he got close enough and caught his breath. "I..want to know...why Danielle wasn't here today too." He remarked out of breath at the moment. "Fine just don't slow me down. Do you know the way to her house?" Ryou shook his head, he didn't but his Yami did. "Then try to keep up." Remarked Kaiba as he took off running with incredible speed. //Why not let me take over, Ra knows we'll certaily get their faster.// Remarked his Yami /Fine./ Ryou said reluctantly before the ring glowled Yellow and Ryou was replaced by a slightly taller form, Bakura, the same one whom Danielle belived could have been mistaken for the devil, the darkness himself had arrived, and chosen his queen.
He quickly caught up with Seto and smirked "And since when can you run this fast?" Remarked the oldest Kaiba as he looked at the white haired boy "Because I never felt like it before." He replyed with a smirk not even bothering to hide the change of voice.
________________________________________________________________
They arrived at the large two story victorian house and Seto promptly began to bang on the door. "You know you don't have to knock the door down." Bakura remarked slightly amused 'So the Kaiba boy must have a thing for our dear Miss Crawford, it'll be even more amusing once she's mine and he's left to cry.' He thought to himself with a smirk as the door opened and Croquet stepped through the door and frowned "Mr. Kaiba, how nice to see you, I supose your here to see Mistress, I'm afraid she isn't here." Seto and Bakura both frowned "What the hell do you mean?" Seto remarked Croquet shook his head "I mean those suits from Kaiba Corp, I don't think you issued this command, took her away with the intention of locking her away and throwing away the key, she's in the mental ward." Seto's face dropped. "Why did she give in?!" He almost yelled "They threatened not only her own life but her father's life as well, even though he shows little signs of ever waking up she refuses to give up on Master Pegasus and wasn't going to risk it."
"Come on Bakura!" Seto turned fericely on his heel and began running again Bakura following him.

He felt a gentle tug at his pant leg as Danielle clasped onto him. "Daddy?" She looked up at him with innoncent green eyes maybe she needed a bit more time to get over the loss of her best friend, but they said it would leave a lasting affect on her but he was still worried and at the same time hopeful that meeting the two Kaiba boys would help her. "What is it?" He asked in a soft voice, "Your not going to leave me like Chisa did are you?" She looked as though the question had been on her mind for a while, he almost cried at this, his child he could already tell was going to have a hard life after this, to young to experince a friends suicide and be able to cope with it. "No, Danielle, I won't leave you, I promise I'll stay with you as long as you need me." She smiled a little and he began to walk again Danielle still clutching his pants leg.
She peeked out from behind him to survey the strangers her father refered to as the Kaiba's a thin boy dressed in a yellow shirt and a blue sweater vest stood beside his 'father' brown hair and blue eyes highlighting slightly pale skin. Hiding behind his older brother in a position similar to Danielle's was a younger boy with spiked black hair a little past his shoulders. Dressed in a green turtleneck and a pair of blue jeans, wide violet eyes full of innocence surveyed the red haired girl. "Pegasus, so nice to finally meet you." remarked the older man. "indeed Mr. Kaiba, it's an honnor." He remarked with a smile. "Please call me Gozoburo, and these are my sons Seto and Mokuba." He pointed to the two boys. "And this must be..." He eyed Danielle as she tried her best to bury herself in his pant leg, he felt her shiver slightly and a whimper escape her lips. "Are you going to let her hide behind you like that or are you going to make her speak up like your heir should." He frowned, "I have no intentions of forcing her to run the company, she can take over if she WANTs to but otherwise she can become whatever she wants." Gozoburo Kaiba shook his head in disgust. "Fine but when she fails in life because you sheltered her to much you'll relize you should take my advise." From that moment on Pegasus had hated the former head of Kaiba Coperation, and was actually quiet pleased when he died, Seto was much easier to deal with. But right now the image of the small red hair girl attempting to hide behind him, trying to disappear from this man that scared her so much. He had always found children easier to understand than that of people his own age and loved to spend time with his daughter, but he left, and now everything was black, and at the clearest point was incredibly blurry, and his mind kept wandering back to that image, and the feeling that his daughter was in more trouble now than ever before.

Ayane: Dun, Dun Duh! And so the plot thickens!
Heather: Yes indeed, wait that last paragraph...that was Semi-Pegasus point of veiw right?
Ayane: *Nods*
Heather: Does that mean he's going to be waking up soon?
Ayane:Possibly
Heather: And I take it the fic is going to end soon, once he wakes up?
Ayane: Maybe, but not exactly when he wakes up I have this realy great scene planned out between Danielle and him for part of the ending.
*Spoilers: Okay in the Manga plotline for Yu-Gi-Oh! Seto pushed his foster father (Gozoburo Kaiba) out of the ten story window of the Kaiba Building. In the actually Anime Seto just threatened to push him out he died of a heart attack later on, wether this was with or without Seto's help is unknown (Probably the first) but either way Seto pretty much causes his Step fathers death. Gotta love the Psycho path.
