Invisible Touch

Chapter 5

Yami draws out a card from his hand, "I place one card face-down and summon Beaver Warrior in defense mode ending my turn."

Anjel laughs, "You have made a big mistake, small fry. I now summon Lady of Faith in defense mode. In addition, I place one card face-down ending my turn."

"For someone with a pretty face, you have placed a weak card. I place another card face-down and end my turn."

Anjel laughs hysterically, "I hope you're not attached to that rat. I now bring forth Witch of the Black Forest, and I activate my Polymerization card..."

The card flips face-up and is activated sucking up the two spellcasters. A flash of light revealed a new monster on the field.

She continues, "Behold my new monster: Musician King!"

The fused spellcaster riffs its electric guitar. Yami smirks, "Great job summoning it. I place another card face-down ending my turn."

After doing that, Anjel laughs again, "You have fallen into my trap, small fry! Prepare yourself! I summon this card in defense mode!"

She brought forth Gitaroo Warrior, and all the face-down cards he had placed on the field is destroyed. "Oh-no!" Yami cries out.

Anjel continues her move, "Musician King, attack his monster!"

The spellcaster eliminated Yami's monster. Yami frowns and draws another card, "I summon Celtic Guardian in defense mode and end my turn."

Anjel began to taunt him, "Defense? I thought you were gonna defeat me, small fry. Where's the dueling spirit? Oh well, I place this card face-up, and it's Gorgon's Eye! Say bye-bye to your elf, runt."

The Celtic Guardian began to turn into stone. Yami frowned, "I see you have one of your uncle's card. However, I don't think it's wise to attack me now."

"Your pathetic threats don't scare me, small fry," Anjel growls, "You can't place any magic or trap cards on the field. Even if you did, they'll be wiped off on contact. Let's just say Gitaroo Warrior has a sharp eye for the riffraffs."

Yami mentally panicked. Then he spoke with Yugi silently. 'I can't place any of my magic or trap cards on the field. She'll continue to attack my monsters until she reaches my life points.'

Yugi suggested a plan, 'Listen, why don't you place a few monsters on the field and sacrifice them to summon a stronger monster?'

Anjel taps her foot, "I'm waiting. I've already attacked your stone warrior and placed one card face-down."

Yami draws another card from his deck and placed it in his hand. He looks at Anjel, "I now summon Silver Fang in attack mode."

The silver beast appears on the field in attack mode.

"Hm, I place one card face-down and summon this card in defense mode," she said placing two cards on the field.

The summoned monster appears. Yami became stunned, "What is that?"

Anjel explains, "This card doesn't have a name, but I call it Gravillian Prince. This card's special effect is quite simple. Y'see, it powers up all of my monsters by 1000 points every five turns. So, you better think of a magicless strategy fast. Like the Gitaroo Warrior, Gravillian Prince has a high defense of 6000. It's your turn, small fry."

Yami didn't like to be called 'small fry'. He drew another card from the deck. "I now summon Feral Imp and end my turn."

Anjel sighs, "I skip my turn."

Yami then smiles, "I now sacrifice my two of my monsters to summon Dark Magician."

Anjel never had the chance to say that Yami's plan really stunk. So, she laughs again. "Go ahead, attack my Musician King. I dare you! But I warn you, it'll cost you your life points!"

"That's where you're wrong, Anjel," he pointed out. "Dark Magician, attack her monster with Dark Magic Attack!"

Anjel surprises Yami, "Hah! You activated my trap card.."

The trap card flips face-up. Chains hurls toward the mage and pulls him to Anjel's side of the field. "No! My Dark Magician!" Yami's voice shakens, "What is that card?!"

"Once again, it doesn't have a name. I call it Chains of Seduction. It only works on spellcasters. This trap card allows me to take your strongest spellcaster and attack you directly. After that, the spellcaster is mine permanently."

The Dark Magician's eyes began to glow a red color as it attacked Yami's life points directly. Yami's life points dropped to 1500. "Too bad, small fry," she coos, "I guess the Dark Magician couldn't help it. It's alot like men having sex."

"Is that why you torture Kaiba's feelings?" Yami crosses his arms, "He came to me with tears in his eyes. Is it true that you're playing this 'being nice' act just so you can dump him the minute he asks you a question about going steady?"

"What?" she asks in shock, "He told you that?"

"I didn't say that; you're guessing."

"Oh shut up!" Anjel spat. "Musician King, attack his life points directly!"

The spellcaster attacks and wipes out the rest of Yami's life points. The field clears away after the attack. "I win; now cough up your Celtic Guardian," Anjel beckons to grab the card.

Yami changes back to Yugi. The small boy weeps silently, reaching for his card and handing it to Anjel. The gorgeous teen looks at the card and smiles wickedly, "Thanks a bunch, small fry."

Yugi still weeps for the loss of his card. Anjel adds the card to her deck and looks down at the small boy, "Cheer up, small fry, be lucky I didn't take away your Dark Magician. I already have that card in my deck. I only use it for a ritual. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go home and pack."

Anjel went over toward the limo. The chauffeur opens her door letting the duelist inside. As the chauffeur closes the door, she watched Yugi cry his eyes out. She didn't give a rat's ass about him. Soon after, she takes off her dueling disk and sets it aside. Her first mission is complete. Now it was time for the second half.

At the mansion, half an hour later, she packed up a suitcase and is on her way to her uncle's mansion. She first checked on Chaos. Already she noticed the dark mage scratching his throat. "Don't do that, Chaos," she grabs his hand and pulls it away. "I know it's a little itchy, but it won't go away if you keep scratcing it. You have to let the voice box settle."

Chaos ignores her and uses the other hand to scratch his throat. Anjel grabs his other hand, "I mean it! Don't scratch your throat. Just for that, I'll have to leave Annabelle in charge to look after you. Annabelle!"

A Cosmo Queen approached her. Anjel still had both of the dark mage's hands, "Annabelle, I'm leaving you in charge. While I'm gone, be sure that Chaos doesn't scratch his throat. I don't care if you have to tie him to a pole. Can you do that for two days?"

Annabelle nodded.

"You're a lifesaver, Annabelle. See you in two days. Remember, don't let anyone inside, make sure that Dark doesn't go in the liquor cabinet, and don't let Dale run around naked."

A Fairy King Truesdale glares at the red-haired teen from behind a table. "That means you!" she pointed.

Anjel closes the door. Immediately she hears a ruckus going on. "Oy, why did I get stuck with loons? I'd rather be cloistered in a tiny room with Seto."

***********************************************************************

That early evening, Anjel arrives at the castle. She can remember how she would run away and stay with her uncle. She steps inside and looks around. Everything is still in its exact place. Each object would bring back memories, but there were some things she remembered seeing Yugi and his friends dueling for the top. Her first memory is the room where the dueling arena is. She headed toward a door and opens it. The same arena she caught a glimpse of her uncle dueling Seto. Of course, she didn't have a clue of what happened next. She did remember being sent to her room for snooping around. She always hated that. Now that he's passed on, she doesn't have to. Still, she can almost feel his spirit. So, she left the room.

Next stop: her old bedroom. Actually, it was her aunt's old room. Anjel slept in that room after her aunt's death.

(Flashback)

Anjel brought up a tray for her aunt. She was eight when her aunt was in good health.

"Good morning, Aunt Cecilia," Anjel chirps happily, "How are you this morning?"

"I'm feeling good this morning. What does my little helper have for me?" the blonde woman smiled.

"I made your favorite breakfast."

"Thank you very much. Did you wake your uncle up?"

"Not yet. May I?"

"Sure, sweetheart, just open the curtains." Cecilia kissed Anjel's head. The eight-year-old happily left the room to wake her uncle.

(Flashback ends)

Anjel sighs deeply. She looks in the closet. Some of her aunt's clothes were sealed in plastic. She assumed maybe the moths and spiders got to them. She looks closer. She was wrong. They're still in great condition. She takes down a blue dress. It looked like the same one the Dancing Elf wears. At the front, a tag said 'To Anjel for when she turns sixteen'.

"Sixteen?" Anjel was surprised, "My birthday is tomorrow. I'll be sixteen then."

She hangs up the dress and shuts the closet door. Who could have left her a beautiful dress? There is only one way to find out. She left the room to find where they had the reading of the will. Ten minutes later, she found the room. She never imagined that her uncle had so many lawyers. They expected Anjel to sit down. So, she did.

One lawyer finished reading part of the will and is now about to read the other half of the will until Anjel sat down. "Miss Harmony, my condolences to your uncle."

Anjel nods. Another lawyer reads the will, "..To my favorite niece, Anjel Harmony, whom I loved dearly, had all of our late night talks, and taught her how to be a duelist, I hereby leave her the following items: my deck of cards I used to duel, all of the paintings I have done, my collection of my favorite comic books, every penny from my heritage, a blue dress I bought for her sixteenth birthday, and the memory of that night in my room..."

Anjel didn't want to remember that. As soon as she heard that, the lawyers looked at her with wide eyes. Anjel lowers her head in shame as she clutched her right arm.

(Flashback)

When she was twelve, Anjel had a bad dream that night and rushed into her uncle's room crying. "Uncle Max, I had a bad dream. I'm scared."

What she didn't know was that Pegasus became drunk that night. Losing his wife was tough. In order to kill the sorrow, he drinks so much liquor. Pegasus turns to his niece, heavily drunk and slurring his speech, "Come here for a moment, Anjel. I want to speak to you."

Sheepishly, Anjel walks over to her uncle and sits on his lap. Pegasus drapes one arm around her waist, "Listen, sweetie, you have nothing to worry about. They're just pictures in your head."

"It was about you giving me up for adoption," Anjel hiccups.

"I would never do that. I love you so much..." the silver-haired man began stroking her hair. "The thought of it wants me to protect you..."

As he was talking, he began unzipping his pants and pulling down her panties. Anjel could only wait for something bad to happen. She suddenly felt something penetrate her private spot. Pegasus holds onto her hips and began to thrust. Anjel starts to cry and moan each time the silver-haired man would brush against something inside her. He quickens the pace as he reaches to a climax. Within a matter of minutes, he empties himself deep inside Anjel with a loud moan.

(Flashback ends)

Anjel cries as she begins to deeply scratch her arm. One of the lawyers stopped her from doing that. Another lawyer asked a question, "Miss Harmony, did he do something that night that you didn't like?"

She didn't actually speak but muttered a sentence.

"I beg your pardon?" the first lawyer asked.

Anjel inhales and cries out, "My uncle molested me when I was twelve!!"

The lawyers gasped and mutters a conversation. Anjel resumes crying. A nurse enters the room with a first aid kit. This could take a long time.

At the mansion, Annabelle finished tying up Chaos to a chair. Dale's clothes were chained to his body, and Dark spent the last half hour trying to open the liquor cabinet.

"Just one bottle of champagne.." Dark begged as he tries to open the cabinet. "*boo-hoo* I must have one stinking shot of anything! Stupid Annabelle. Why does she do this to me?"

He bangs on the locked cabinet so many times his fist turned red. Not that it mattered one bit. He remembered seeing a crowbar in the garage. So, he snuck out the door and into the garage.

Chaos mumbles something to Dale. Nothing. The fairy king stares sappily at the dark mage. He shrugged and proceeds to pick the lock on the chains. He had to be free. Chaos mumbled a protest, but Dale ignores him. Annabelle kept her eyes on Dale. The fairy king ceased the jimmying and flashed a sheepish grin. She then turned her eyes to the dark mage. Chaos couldn't turn his head or free himself from the ropes tied to the chair. Annabelle had an idea of how to settle the two males. She grabs the TV remote, turns the power on, and flips the channels. She turns it to the Playboy channel. Dale and Chaos took one glance and froze.

'That ought to hold them off for awhile,' Annabelle thought. 'Now to find Dark.'

She found him with a crowbar trying to pry off the lock to get to the liquor. Dark turns to Annabelle and hissed. She ran up to him and knocks the crowbar from his grasp.

Soon, Annabelle had tied up Dark to another chair and is next to Chaos. He looks at the TV and never looked away. The three males had their eyes on a naked woman doing a spicy segment.

Annabelle rolls her eyes, 'Men are such pigs.'

There was a knock at the door. Annabelle ignored it for she wasn't supposed to answer the door for anyone. So, she walks over to the door and looks through the peephole. It was Seto. Instead of answering the door, she latched it shut. Another knock occures. Annabelle presses a button to set off the alarms outside. Sure enough, Seto ran away.

To be continued....
