~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

The group was walking across the barren landscape. "Are we there yet?" Neko-Soma whined. Raz sighed, "No."

"My feet hurt!" She complained. "So?" Raz said.

Neko-Soma pouted, "You're mean." Raz sighed and kept walking. {I swear I'm gonna kill her…} He thought.

Behind Raziel, the group started to laugh and giggle. He spun around, "What the…Ashton!"

Ashton had picked Neko-Soma up and placed the lithe teen on his shoulder, holding onto her legs. Everybody was cracking up, for the moment forgetting there friend was kidnapped and their surroundings.

Raziel just looked at them. {How could they act like such children?} He thought. {Look around us…look at the position were in…} Raz looked at the ground and sighed. Ashton read his thoughts and turned to the others, "Um…Lets get going…" He said. Everyone calmed down and started walking again.

Raz walked ahead of the group, talking to no one, looking ahead. Joey walked up to his side. "Hey man, you awright?"

"Yea, fine." Raz said, not looking at Joey.

"Ya sure?" The blonde asked again.

"I said I was." Raz said coldly. Joey looked back at Ashton, who shook his head. Joey shrugged and walked back to Tristen.

Raziel looked up at the sky. It was a dark, dark maroon color, clouds of blood red. He sighed, {Why do I have a feeling this is going to have a bad ending…?}

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

Charles was watching all of the laughing and giggling going on up on the monitor. He smirked, "You're 'saviors' are nothing but a bunch of over grown school children."

…Charles sweat dropped as Joey threw a dirt clod at Neko-Soma.

He turned to look at his prisoner behind him. Shay was doubled over in pain, clutching her stomach. She was in complete pain…Her back, her stomach…her heart…

Charles smirked. He was holding a dagger in his hand and wiping it with a piece of the girls torn dress. The lace was now stained in blood.

~*~*~*~*Flash Back*~*~*~*~

Charles had the dagger poised at Shays throat. He was standing at her side. The boy trailed the dagger down to her bust and cut the gown, exposing her chest (AN: NOT ALL OF IT!! YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!! __) and placing the cold steel on the girls chest right above where her heart should be, (AN: Ash: SHOULD be? Me: …Shut up _) which was pounding in her chest.

Her lip quivered. He smirked, "Are you afraid?" Charles whispered in her ear. The young captive said nothing.

The dagger's tip danced around on her skin, causing her to shiver.

The young boy leaned farther, "How scared are you?" He said.

Again, Shay said nothing.

Charles patience was beginning to wear thin. "Is your voice stuck?" He said in a cold voice. Out of the corner of her eye, Shay saw a flick of silver hair. Oh no…

She closed her eyes.

Charles smirked, she was wearing down. "Why do you keep thinking they're coming for you?" he said.

"…They care." She said, her eyes still closed.

{He cares…} She thought, an image of Raziel flashing through her mind.

Charles read her thought and smirked. He stood up. "Oh really? And I suppose that you think that devil cares too?"

Shay said nothing.

Charles chuckled, "Well, you'll think that he cares…he's here right now…"

Shays eyes snapped open and she looked around, "W-What? Where is he?" She asked, "Is he all right? Where is everybody else!?"

Charles took the young girls chin and made her look at the doorway (AN: Think of where they are as a cathedral type thing…heh, like Devil May Cry ^^; but kinda diff.)

Raziel was leaning against the frame of the door. His arms were folded and he was looking down. Shay's eyes filled with hope and astonishment. "R-Raziel?" She said, and stood up.

Charles smirked, "Go to him if you like." Shay smiled and ran over, her bare feet making hardly any noise on the white floor.

"Raziel, you're all right!" Shay stopped about 5 feet away from Raz. "Where are the others?"

Raziel looked up and at Shay. His eyes were cold as ice, and he was expressionless. The girls smile faded slightly and a worried expression appeared on her face, "R-Raz?" She said softly.

The boy pushed himself away from the frame and started to walk over to the girl. Surprised, she fell backwards and was looking up at him. Her gown was torn, exposing her bust. (AN: Raz: What is it with you and that word? Me: Shut up its better then saying breasts. ¬_¬ Raz: … Me: And besides! It's not all of it so YEA IT'S THE RIGHT WORD! _ Raz: OK! OK! God…*gets zapped by Faith*…) "R…Raziel…"

Every time the teen took a step towards her, Shay would scoot back. She was shivering with relief…now she was shaking with fear. Soon she hit a wall, unable to scoot back any farther.

Raziel smirked and kneeled down by her side, placing a gloved hand on the side of her face. "What's wrong Shay?" He asked in a soothing-mock voice. "Scared?"

Not knowing what to do, she nodded.

Raziel leaned down so his face was by hers. His eyes were dark and cold, and a horrible smirk was painted on his lips. Not his confident, usual smirk…(AN: Raz: …usual? Me: SHUT UP! _) But this one was dark…wanting…(AN: Raz: NASTY! Me: *whacks Raz with a frying pan* __ Shut the hell up!!! _ Ash: *sweat drop*)

"Of what?" He whispered. "Of me?" Again, the girl nodded slightly. "And why are you frightened of me?" He asked.

"B-Be…b-because…you're…" She couldn't finish her sentence.

Raziel lowered himself down by the girls ear (AN: O_O;; THAT DON'T SOUND RIGHT!!!! __ ITS HIS MOUTH YOU PERVS, NOT SOMETHING ELSE! …Wait…the mouth sounds wrong too…¬_¬) and whispered, "Because I'm what? The devil? Harvester of souls? The punisher?"

To be honest, Shay never knew why she was frightened of him. She just…was. (AN: Raz: Not a good an-*Gets hit by a frying pan again* X_X'')

"Well…" His lips were brushing against her ear now, "You think we'll have to rid you of that fear?" His voice had a venomous hint in it.

Shay whimpered in terror. What was he doing? What happened to him?

She yelped as he sat, kneeling by her stomach, a dagger poised at her chest. Her eyes widened as she looked up at him. "What are you doing?!" Shay said in astonishment.

Raz hushed her and in one quick motion, had her flipped on her back with her arms pinned under her. (AN: Neko-Chan: BUTTRAPE!!!!! *running around in circles screaming butt rape* Raz: *twitch* I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!! Me: I KNOW THAT BAKA AND ITS NOT RAPE! _) He was kneeling down and had the cold metal on the girls gown. He chuckled softly, and the girl whimpered.

Quickly, he sliced the girls gown in a V-shape, removing the cloth and exposing her bare back. He put the dagger on her back, the cold feeling making her shiver. "Raz, no…" She said in a teary voice, "please…"

Shay felt tears stinging her eyes and the boy lean down by her neck, his breathing hot. (AN: Don't worry kiddies, I'm not going to put any rape in this fic……. . Raz: …you're a pervert. Me: I know ^^;; But it makes for a dramatic story!! .o;) "Do you know what's going to happen?" He whispered in her ear.

The girl whimpered as a reply. Raziel smirked, "Well don't worry…I won't kill you…" He held the dagger by her bottom of her neck, "I'll see you in Hell, my sweet…" He kissed the back of her neck softly - that was the worst part of the whole thing.

The tears fell from her eyes, and after he kissed her…

The dagger pierced flesh, a scream filled the air.

~*~*~Ok Back to the group ^^;~*~*~

Screams take a long time to travel over these barren plains…

The group stopped as a horrible scream broke the silence of the demonic plains. "W-What was that?" Neko-Soma stuttered, still on Ashton's shoulder.

"That sounded like…"

"…Shay." Faith finished Yugi's sentence.

Raziel's eyes widened, although only his back was visible to everyone else. "S-Shay?" He said, barely stuttering.

Nobody said anything…then…

Another scream came.

As soon as that scream hit the ears of everyone, Raziel tore across the rugged landscape.

"Raziel…!" Faith went to go after him but Ashton grabbed her arm. She looked up at him, "What? We've got to go after him!"

Ashton shook his head, "Its no use trying to catch up to him, he's a demon."

Faith nodded, and the group continued there way to the castle.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Raziel POV

As soon as I heard that scream I bolted. I knew that it took sound a little longer to travel in the demon world. A thought crossed my mind.

What if she was all ready dead?

Broken?

What if we were too late??

I couldn't stand that thought.

I thought of almost nothing else as I ran across the plains and towards the castle, which, I could see in my sight. I looked up at the lone tower, and could see something flutter down. {What the hell was that?} I thought. After a few more seconds of running - It would have taken a normal mortal 15minutes to cross where I was - I reached the outside of the castle.

The castle was dark, dim; cold…I could sense an evil aura coming off of it. The bricks were painted black, and there was one single tower that stood over a fort. There was a window at the top of this tower. I looked around me. There was a large boulder, a few dead shrubs, and the only thing in sight that was living…

A rosebush.

I walked over to the rosebush. There were roses of blood red, black, and even white. "Huh. Impressive…" So I was up against a gardener.

I looked down and saw the 'something' that had fallen out of the window. It was a white lace rag stained in blood. "………" I said nothing as I picked it up and put it in my pocket.

I heard a dark laugh behind me followed by a: "So, the little king has made it this far? Where is the rest of his group?"

I spun around to see a young girl on the boulder. She looked like Shay, but she was wearing a tight leather mini skirt, and a black tube top with a blue flame on it. Her eyes were closed and were painted to look like a cat's, with blue eye shadow. A smirk was painted on her lips and she had a blue lipstick. A rapier was resting on her shoulder, and she had large demonic wings on her back.

"Who the hell are you?" I said. The girl looked up, opening her eyes. They were black with a hint of cold blue in them and ice green. "Why, Raziel," she said in a mock-hurt voice, "I would have thought you would recognize me."

"Yea right." I said, "No more games, babe, tell me who you are."

"Raziel," The girl stood up and looked at me, "Its me…"

I rolled my eyes, "Give me a name."

Why do I have a feeling I all ready knew?

"Its me…" She said, taking a step towards me, "Shay…" she giggled, "Well, the dark part of her at least."

Her dark side? I raised an eyebrow, "What about Sai?"

The demonic girl giggled again. "Oh, her?" She smirked, "I don't think you'll be seeing much more of her…"

I stayed silent for a while. "Well, if you don't mind me, I'll just be on my w-" Before I could finish, the demon crouched down and swung her leg under me in a round house, knocking me on my back, then she pounced on me and held her rapier to my throat. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" I said, "C'mon, we barely know each other!"

She smirked, "So the little king has a sense of humor, eh?"

"Yea, I'm mister funny." After saying that I kicked her off of me, and jumped up. I dusted myself off, "That was quite uncalled for." I said.

Suddenly a fireball hit the wall by me. I looked at the scorch on the wall then at the girl. Her hand was extended outwards and there was a small orange swirl on her hand. "Oh you did not just throw a fireball at a pyromaniac." I said. How stupid could you get?

"Oh I think I just did." She said. I sighed and took out one of my handguns and pointed it at her.

"You can't shoot me." She said.

I lowered my gun a little, "And why not?" I said.

The demon smirked, "Because, I am Shay. You shoot me, you harm her."

I stayed silent for a while and put my gun back. "Well…" I said, "Does that also mean I can't do this?"

Without waiting for a reply I kicked her in the stomach and kneed her in the face. I then kicked her in her side and, when she was on the ground, put the Alstor (AN: I THINK I spelled that right…-_-') to her throat. She smirked, a bloody line dripping from her mouth. She turned around and spit a mouthful of blood. "See for yourself…" She said.

Before I could ask what she was talking about, she disappeared. Psh, no matter. I would see her in Hell.

I heard footsteps behind me and turned around. The group was running up to me, and to my astonishment, Neko-Soma was walking on her own two feet. (AN: Neko-Soma: HEY!! Raz: ^^')

They ran over to me. "What happened?" Elle asked. I shook my head, they didn't need to know about the demon I had just fought. It would only worry them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~Authoress POV

Faith walked over to the rosebush, "Wow…" She said as she kneeled down beside it, "It's beautiful."

"Amazing that there's something like that growing in the demon world." Seto said, looking at Faith and the rosebush.

Malik walked over also, and picked a red rose. He then spun around and handed it to Elle. "For you, madam." Malik said in a fake French accent, bowing as she took it. Elle blushed and kissed Malik, who instantly let a huge grin break across his face.

Raziel sighed. Faith looked at him, "What?" she asked.

"Hm?" Raziel turned his attention to Faith and away from Malik and Elle, who had fallen on the ground, entangled in each other's arms.

"Whats wrong with you?" She repeated. She didn't really like couples expressing their feelings that…openly…but at least that meant they cared about each other. Raziel shook his head, "Nothing, why?"

"It seems that you're afraid of romance," Faith said as she stood up, "Why? Haven't you ever had a girlfriend?"

Raziel stayed silent. Neko-Soma started laughing, "Ha ha ha ha ha! Raz hasn't had a date before!" Raziel looked at her sharply, "Shut up." He said, his voice as sharp as his look. "I have so."

Neko-Soma laughed harder.

"Stop." He said.

Neko-Soma continued, just to annoy him.

In return, he shot her with a fire ball.

"ACK!" Neko-Soma was on the ground, her sliver hair (AN: I don't know if I called her blonde earlier but my friend changed her hair to silver …-_-;) blown back behind her and black soot on her face. She glared up at the devil. "What was that for?" She spat.

"I told ya to stop." Raziel said as he turned and started walking to find the entrance. Neko-Soma growled and dove for him, staff in hand, but was stopped and held back by Tristen and Joey. Yugi just sweat dropped and walked over to Faith who was kneeling down by the rosebush again, Seto standing by her.

Yugi blinked and knelt down by her, "Whats up?" He asked, his eyes full of curiosity.

Faith was examining the roses very intently, "There's something about them I don't like," she said quietly, "I wouldn't be surprised if they were possessed…"

"Or possessive." Seto added. Faith nodded and stood up. "That too."

"Well…we are in the demonic realm," Yugi pointed out, "Perhaps that's why."

"There special roses."

The three of them turned around to see Elle who was straitening up her hair and top. (AN: All: …Malik…. Malik: What!? ^^') "Whatcha mean 'special roses'?" Faith asked.

Elle shrugged. "I don't really know exactly, but I picked it up somewhere."

"Well what do they do?" Seto asked in a cool tone.

" I dunno," Elle said again, "but I think there something along these lines: If your mate gave you one of these roses…"

"Mate?" Seto and Faith both raised an eye brow.

"Shut up! _ If…lets say, Seto got you a rose Faith-" Faith beamed,- "And it lasted when we got back to the human world, and it was perfectly in tact, then your relationship would last till the end of your days. But, if the rose died as soon as we got back, something will happen that will set you two apart." Elle looked at Ashton.

"Yea, that sounds about right," Ashton said, "But its not if the flower dies they'll separate, something will just happen. Whether or not they break up is depending on there actions."

"Uh…huh." Faith said slowly. "Well…" She clapped her hands and looked over at Raz, who had decided to just lean against the wall. "And whats with you?" She asked.

"Nothing," he said, looking over the vast plains, a dry wind blowing and tossing his all ready messy hair, "Just thinking."

"Well don't hurt yourself," Faith said as she spun around, "Wind! ^_^" Seto sweat dropped. Yugi giggled.

Malik was sitting on a rock, looking at the ground. He seemed to be in deep thought also. Elle turned from the group and looked at him, "Are you all right Maly?" She asked as she sat down by him, putting her arm around his shoulders.

"Yea," Malik smiled and looked up at her, his deep violet eyes looking into her blue green ones, "I'm perfectly fine." He smiled. Elle blushed and looked at the ground, causing Malik to blink and laugh.

Elle smiled and looked back up at him, kissing him on the lips. Malik's eyes widened in surprise, but he smirked and kissed her back.

Suddenly, the crystal around Elle's neck started to glow. The couple broke there kiss and pulled back.

Elleaner stood in front of Elle, her hands on her hips. Elle gulped, "Heh, h-hi y-yami." She waved sheepishly.

"Don't 'hi yami' me, Elle." Elleaner said coldly.

"Hey what did she do?" Malik said in defense, "Nothing, so don't freak her out!"

Elleaner looked at Malik sharply, causing him to gulp and scoot back a bit. "Was I talking to you?" She said in a cool, even, scary-calm voice.

"N-No," Malik stuttered, "But I was talking to you."

Elleaner growled but suddenly stopped and straitened up. She spun around and looked up at the tower, "What the…"

"So you could sense it too?" Ashton said, walking up beside her.

"You mean you could?" Elleaner said, not looking away from the spot her eyes were on. Ashton nodded, following her gaze. "I sensed it once we caught sight of the castle."

Everyone was silent. Another gust of wind blew.

Raziel tilted his head upwards, looking at the towers window. He could sense something bad happening…

SNAP!!

The sudden noise made all of the group besides the yami's and Raziel jump. "What the…"

But before Faith and Neko-Soma could get there sentences out, a glimmer came from the window high, high above.

The whole group watched as a necklace was thrown out the window and over there heads. Ashton and Elleaner spun around, there eyes never leaving the object.

It seemed to happen in slow motion. The necklace caught the light and the two yamis eyes. It was in the shape of a pendant and had a golden eye on it. It twisted and reflected in there eyes, and then…it hit a rock and broke. A red and purple mist poured from the crack and twisted up in the air before disappearing.

At once, both of the yami's yelled.

"SAI!!"
