The visit to Hinoto left Danielle only with more questions, how had it turned that she had developed the ability and not her father? As it had turned out the young boy Phoniex had also been just an illusion, something made up from her mind a reflected because she needed encoragement. The lights of her house flipped on and they silently walked into the living room. "Why do I? Why do I feel so scared?" She looked up at her father. Pegasus smiled and shook his head "There's nothing to worry about. Trust me."

He twitched in his sleep at the dream that unfolded before him. The night sky spread out in front of him as a cityscape became visible, standing on the edge was a leather clad figure. 'Yami?' He asked himself as he walked foward to see his own daughters uneven red hair flowing in the wind, her hands in her pockets. "So then Angel what will you do?" Came a voice from behind him and he turned around to see a tall slim figure, a black silk top moving with the wind, a cross necklace, his hands in the pockets of leather pants, lose around his waist, white hair flared with power, it was Yami Bakura, his worst nightmare. "What do you mean Bakura?" She asked in a silent voice, Bakura smirked and looked to the side, as if he could see Pegasus. "You know what I mean, Hinoto said that once your father dies his spirit will go to the millenium eye, but you can take his place, Koibito." He smirked as she cringed at the words and Pegasus watched in awestruck shook, the two oblivous to his presense. "You can become the spirit of the millenium eye and we can be together forever, no more of that idiot Malik trying to win you over, no more Seto Kaiba to constantly make you think he loves you and then shoot you down. And not to mention once you have the power of the Millenium eye that annoying Noa Kaiba will bother you no more." He smirked as his arms wrapped around her waist, and he nibbled her ear. "Ryou is gone he can't bother us anymore Koibito. And your father...Pegasus, won't he be proud." Silently the white haired spirits fingers had grabbed hold of the Millenium item that he had stolen form Pegasus almost two years ago. "That Pentagram on your hand shows that you've been marked and that your mine, you have no choice." He remarked before lifting up the eye to the girls face and a knife tearing her left eye from her in a spray of blood, and then shoving the golden orb into the former eyes resting place as she collapsed onto the ground screaming in pain. "YOU LEAVE HER ALONE!!" He yelled forgetting neither of them heard him. Her hands suposted her as she gazed down at the puddle of blood that had formed, her face pale as the windows of the building shattered her lips their shade of blue. On her hand carved with a knife was a Pentagram, apperantly what marked her as 'property' of Yami Bakura. After a few moments she lifted up, and ran her fingers over the cold metal of the eye and screamed. At this moment Pegasus himself woke up screaming, out of fear that this was a vision of the future, and that this insane pain was the fate that was to befall his daughter.

She felt terrible as she walked down the stairs, her head hurt, and she had probably unconciously used her powers to do something in her sleep. "Good morning." Her father remarked not in his normal chipper tone either. "Something wrong dad?" She asked quietly. He shook his head "Just a bad dream." He told her and then sipped his coffee. "By the way did you get up early and make coffee or something? because this was made when I got here." He asked and she relized that was what it must have been. "No but chances are I did anyways." She answered and then dressed and grabbed a small thing to eat before walking out.

Everyone had heard about Danielle passing out during school. Malik however was especially worried, and especially pissed off that no one told him. "And you didn't tell me why? Again?" He asked Yugi who frowned "Because there was no use you worrying over nother, Danielle will probably be back in school today alive and well." Malik's lavender eyes narrowed slightly at the form entering the room. "Well you got the alive part right." He remarked as she sat down at her desk and lay her head down. "Feeling any better Danielle?" Yugi asked with a smile. She shook her head 'No' in response.
// Malik, I sense some sort of great power coming from her, perhaps she's over using it without knowing, and this is what's making her so weak.//
/Maybe Yami, I'll ask her when I'm alone./
Everyone else simply eyed the red haired girl oddly and nothing was said until Ryou entered the room. "Hi everyone, Danielle, I'm suprised your here you still look terrible." He remarked as he gently pressed his hand to her forehead. "You feel like you have a fever or something." He remarked and her eyes widened. 'If anyone so much as touches you koi, they will not live to see another day.' Those where Bakuras words to her and she shook the white haired boy away from her. "What's wrong?" He asked looking concerned placing his hand on her shoulder and secretly she was mentally begging him to leave her alone, not to touch her because his life was in danger for caring. "Nothing it's just that..." He sighed and seemed to understand but how? "It's okay, Danielle, wait for me on the roof of the school okay, I have something I need to talk to you about," But what Ryou said then made her think strangely of Bakura, even the tone of his voice had changed. "Okay Koibito?" She nodded stunned as he sat down in his normal seat.

It was just a dream, she was certain it was a dream. Her mother beautiful and very much alive was sitting in a chair before her. The sunlight gently dtreaming through the windows brightening the otherwise dark room. She smiled at the girl and stopped the gentle hum that had filled the room, birds chirpped and everything seemed like heaven, so serene. "Mom?" The blonde nodded, she had never truely seen her mother in anything other than her fathers paintings, and he had always said that they had never truely captured her beauty. He was right. "Hello Little one, I know that you are troubled now and that is why I'm here." She smiled slightly at the red haired girl. "You have become such a beautiful girl." She remarked. For a while they sat there and just talked, about everything that had happened, her fears in life, and her mother listened, smiling and nodding and answering her questions. She found herself resting her head on her mothers knee, soflty closing her eyes. "Celestia! Celestia! Miss Crawford wake up!" She threw her eyes open to find herself under the heat lamp like glare of the teacher. "If you feel that you have the right to sleep in this class then maybe you should also have the right of being sent to principals office!" She yelled causing the girl to wince. " Mrs. Carradine, leave her alone! In case you can't tell she's sick, the fever probably put her to sleep." Remarked Malik being the only one brave enough (Or dumb enough in most cases.) To smart off to the teacher. She sighed "Very well, but if your running a fever I'm sending you to the nurse. Ryou can I trust you to take her?"
_____________________________________________________________ Pegasus had fallen alseep sometime during the day, bad idea. It was once again a dream envolving Danielle, however this time it wasn't the same one of her painful gift of reciveing the Millenium eye, by the same person who had ripped it out of his own head. This time it showed perhaps what had happened afterwards.
Yami stood just above them the Magician of Black Chaos behind him, both glaring at Yami Bakura. "So this is what you wanted soul stealer? To inflict harm upon the body of your Hikari and to destroy the life of an innoncent girl?" Yami Bakura smirked Danielle standing behind him, or more or less cowering behind him, her body shaking rapidly her deep blue lips quivering her hands cluthced onto the sides of her head pulling on the red strands of hair at the sides of her head. Her eyes closed as if she was in extreme pain. "I'm sure you'll find that her life was not destroyed, it was already falling appart to begin with Pharoah." Smirked the white haired spirit. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU! CHAOS MAGE ATTACK!" In a scene of confusion a blast of light and the scream of Danielle as she shoved Yami Bakura out of the way only to take part of the hit herself. The Magician looked to his master who almost yelled at the girl who was crumpled in a heap on top of a stunned Yami Bakura. "Danielle what are you doing?!" He asked his voice full of anger, confusion, and fear. "Yami! If Bakura dies Ryou dies to and...and...I don't want to lose anyone else!" She answered tears filling her emerald eyes. "Please don't hurt the physical body, call off your attacks Yami...No matter what happens the damage done to me cannot be reversed, the Millenium eye is now my curse to bear, and I will live with it means that Ryou can be safe, that everyone can be safe, and I will sufer through the curse that is Bakura, no matter how many times he feels the need to break me in every way, because I...I...am not worth dying for."
_______________________________________________________________
Pegasus awakened with clinched fists at the last words spoken by his daughter in the dream. 'Not worth dying for! She talks as if she isn't worth anything! If that bastard Bakura ever lays so much as a hand on my daughter I swear he will die a slow and painful death!' He thought to himself so much wanting to scream and the song playing seemed to suit the moment.
"I want to takes his eyes out
just for looking at you
yes i do
And I want to take his hands off
just for touching you
yes id do
And I want to rip his heart out
just for hurting you
and I want to break his mind down
yes I do!
Yes I do!
I want to make him regret life
since the day he meet you
Yes I do
and I want to make him take back
all that he took from you
yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
just for hurting you
and I want to break his mind down
yes I do
Yes I do!
Yes I do!
Yes I do!
Yes I do!
And I want to rip his heart out
just for touching you
And I want to break his mind down
Yes I do!"
He would though do far worse than that him that white haired demon laid a hand on his daughter, she had been through enough as it had been.
