[Hello, my adoring fans. *Waits for claps...* *Silence... Silence.* I guess it's true, no-one does read my fic. Well, I'm continuing anyway! I do not own Yu-gi-oh or it's characters. I do, own my characters, Cushla, Grace and Lauren. I also own this fanfic! Thanks for all those who do review. I love you, guys! On with the story...]

"Now, you are possibly wondering why I have called you here. It's about..." Pegasus began to speak, before Joey rudely interrupted him.

"Yeah! Yeah! Ya stole our fuckin' cards! Give 'em back!" Joey blurted out as his eyes focused on Pegasus. At least his eyes had been drawn away from Cushla and Malik with his outrage.

"Silence." Pegasus said with a firm tone, "That was to draw you here. You have something I want. The millennium choker."

"What? We don't have such a thing." Malik commented as he reached his arms around Cushla, clasping them around her waist as he looked forward to face Pegasus. He did not want Pegasus foiling his plans to get this choker. Perhaps, Pegasus knew also of it's power. The power to bring back life after one dies, he probably wanted to bring back someone. Malik did not know much about Pegasus, so he had no idea about Pegasus's sweetheart, Cecelia, who had past away.

"Yeah! We don't, Pegasus!" Yugi said, it wasn't like Yugi to lie to anyone, but in these circumstances, it was necessary.

"Don't lie to me. I saw those girls fletching it for you all." Pegasus announced as he frowned towards the girls.

"If it was somethin' to do with us, why did ya bring the girls and that jerk, Kaiba!" Joey questioned Pegasus. He seemed angry that Pegasus had brought the girls into this for no reason.

"I thought that the girls may have the choker in the first place, but now I know that they do not. They do not have the power to posses such a good. That is why I brought Kaiba here; he may also have the choker. Though, I mostly brought most of you just for fun. I get rather bored these days." Pegasus explained, grinning slightly as he completed his sentence.

"Your sick." Lauren said simply.

"Is he? Does he have a fever?" Grace whispered towards Lauren. Lauren replied by rolling her eyes and nothing else.

"Thank you. Since you all have trouble telling me where the choker is, I guess I'll have to take it off you forcefully..." Pegasus began. Cushla had the urge to scream out that she had the choker. Anything would have been better then being Malik's bitch, even if it was Pegasus doing something unspeakable. The only thing that kept her from speaking out was that she did not wish to endanger her friends.

Meanwhile, Seto was wandering the Castle, which seemed almost like a labyrinth. His eyes endlessly gazing around the boulder-like walls, the only sound he could hear was the gentle calls of his feet as they patted against the ground's surface. Mokuba broke the silence, as he chased after his brother, his feet parading like elephants. Mokuba shuddered as he heard the echoes that he, himself, had caused. Gentle chiming caught his ear, but soon was disturbed by a sudden sound of bumping and crashing.

"Big brother! Something is coming!" Mokuba whispered as he turned his head to where the direction of the noise had been coming from. A dash of white flew past Mokuba's face and before he knew it, his body had collided with the wall. Mokuba coughed as he felt dust travel up his nostril. He glanced over to see if his brother had fallen also. He was right, but Seto didn't lie there. He leaped up onto his feet and began to shout had his harasser.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing? You idiot!" Kaiba yelled.

"Fuck it!" Bakura growled as he turned, giving Kaiba a glare before he persisted on his journey. If you could even call it one, it seemed like he was just running uncontrollably. Seto shrugged this off; he would deal with Bakura later. He had work to do, and the most important thing at the moment was to find his cards.

"Where are we going now, Seto?" Mokuba questioned, as he dusted himself off. He seemed a bit sad and sick of the entire ordeal, wishing that he and his brother could just go home.

"I told you, Mokuba, We are going..." Seto's voice trailed off as he heard the sounds of Yugi and his gang speaking to Pegasus. His ear twitched faintly at this, he thought he better follow the voices. Maybe he would be able to get some answers from Pegasus.

"Huh? Where, brother?" Mokuba questioned as he began to scratch his rats- nest of hair.

"This way, Mokuba. I hear Yugi and his band of morons." Seto said as he marched off towards the calls of the voices, Mokuba following him.

Seto reached the nearest door, leading towards the rowel. Both hands clasping each of the wooden handles as he swung them open. The doors smashing against the walls as they flung open. Seto glared about the room as he walked in, his trench coat classically flying behind him. Though, within this sudden moment of rage, he had nearly forgotten about Mokuba. Luckily, Mokuba was small and was able to rush through the doors before they clobbered him. Lauren's ears twitched as they heard the echoes of a door rebounding against the nearest wall. Her eyes took glance of Seto Kaiba, and she breathed a sweet sigh of relief before even realizing it. She shook her head for a moment; she reached up to massage her forehead as if she had a headache. 'What am I doing? Feeling happy because that... jerk is here?' Lauren thought to herself as she rubbed her tummy, wondering what the sudden tingles in her stomach were; they almost felt like butterflies swarming around her abdominal.

Cushla's forehead creased into a sudden frown as she saw Pegasus whispering something. At that moment, she heard the screams of her dearest friend, Grace. Her head turned to see where the direction of her friend's voice was coming from, she would of turned her body if it wasn't for Malik holding onto it. The door slammed behind them, the voice of Grace being cut off in that sudden motion. This made even Seto glare, till he realized that his brother was also gone. He was about to chase after him, before a looming voice struck his ear.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you, Kaiba." Came Pegasus's voice, "I may be forced to kill him, or the girl if we have any trouble. We may be forced to have a little fun with their minds... or even their bodies?"

"Why the fuck didn't you take me then? You fucking prick." Yelled Lauren, before even Seto had a chance to answer back. Kaiba glared at Lauren for a moment, but said nothing.

"I was saving you both for last, my dear." Pegasus replied. The nearest guard took Lauren by the wrist and attempted to drag her away.

"No!" Yugi screamed, trying to rush over towards Lauren. Though, Seto had already punched the pathetic guard in the chest with ease, sending him toppling to the ground.

"I don't give a fuck about your meaningless blabbing. Where is Mokuba?" Seto growled. Lauren's eyes were still upon him, shocked at what he had done for her. Kaiba did not really care for what he had done; he had just acted out of instinct and felt rather annoyed that he had done so.

"Your brother will be killed, Seto Kaiba. If you do not contain yourself." Pegasus said calmly, brushing strands of white hair away from his face.

"I'll go instead of Lauren, then." Cushla said. Hey! It was better then being with Malik, if she could save Grace... that's all that really mattered. Malik tried to protest this movement, but Cushla grabbed him by the nuts from behind, yanking them. She knew that Malik wouldn't make a move in front of the crowd now. She knew he would be angry, but he would not punish her for that. Would he?

Malik let her go, biting his lip to avoid grasping his balls. The guard tried to grab Cushla by the wrist, but she fought him off.

"I'm going! I'm going!" She mumbled, attempting to march straight out the door that her friends had recently descended from.

"Have you forgotten you are a prisoner now." The guard answered back as he clasped her hand, pulling her forward. Cushla stared at Lauren as a signal to say, 'Well, c'mon!'

Lauren got the message and let herself also be taken by the guard, the door slamming behind them both.

"No! Ya can't take 'em!" Joey shouted, before Tristan grabbed his hand to hold the feisty puppy back.

"You don't want to get yourself in trouble. We can rescue them later, for now lets just play cool." Tristan assured Joey, though he was secretly at rage himself and felt rather worried for the girls, well particularly one of them.

[Yo! That's it for today, folks! Well... if you haven't guessed it by now. That Malik, is Yami-Malik/Marik, whatever you wish to call him. I know, I use the English names. I like the Japanese names too, along with the Japanese Version (Original) of Yu-gi-oh also. There is going to be a sequel to this fic, but not know. Once I've finished this one.]
