~*Due to the little amount of girls in Yu-Gi-Oh, some characters from Sailor Moon & Rayearth will be added (don't like Sailor Moon either but finds way to get back at them ^_^*~

Chapter 3: The Circle

            Yami led the horse as they slowly walked into the village. It was a dark, cold night. Lanterns lit up the streets with its flame.

            "So…" Yami looked down at Tea "What did Ishizu give to you?"

            "She told me I should show it to you when we get home." Tea's eyes gazed at the dirt ground. She felt Yami's fingers interlocking with hers as they walked. It was only hours and already he seemed quite fond of her, which seemed to strike her odd.

            Could what Ishizu said be true about or relationship? Tea took up a glance at Yami for a moment. At the way things seemed to be going now, something really freaky is going to happen.

            "Well, well Yami. It has been days, has it not?" a little girl's voice called out. The two stopped dead in their tracks. Yami's fist clenched as a little girl with pink hair stood before them. Behind her were seven other girls. Two had blonde hair that went to their knees except one of the girls had her hair in two buns like dumplings on each side of her head. Two of the other girls had blue hair and the last two girls had black and red hair.

            Yami gazed at the pink haired one, a low growl escaped from his lips "Chibi-Usa, you plan to visit Ishizu again for your fortune told?"

            "Lies!" Chibi-Usa yelled at the top of her lungs. "That's all that bitch Serenity does. All she does is tell lies. That's why we named her as a witch. Besides, we are here to see how Hotaru is."

            "You knew Serenity knew the truth," Yami continued to look down on the little girl, who gave him a childish smirk. "And before she could expose your sport, you burned her."

            "We do Salem a favor Yami." Chibi-Usa smiled. "They need us. We have been given the power to name anyone we desire. It didn't matter who it was. The only thing the reverend cares about is ridding witchcraft." She then turned her gaze towards Tea, slowly making her way towards her. "New friend huh? She could be an excellent addition to our circle."

            "Don't even start it." Yami tugged on his horse, leading that and Tea pass the group of girls. "You already destroyed a part of who I am by sealing Serenity into the dark."

            "I could let you join her." A cold smirk curled the child's lips. "Hotaru has told us of your late night visits when she was hallucinating."

            Yami stopped, glancing up at Chibi-Usa. "You wish to blackmail me?"

            "I can do what I want Yami. I can manipulate those with feeble minds to give into our desires. I have many secrets that I hold with others."

            "Your mother turned you into a cunning bitch. At the age of twelve, you should be able to know what that means." He glanced at Tea, letting his grip on her hand loose. He lifted her onto the horse, his eyes gazing into its eyes for a moment before it nodded and started to trot off.

            "Where…wha?" Tea was surprised, as Yami didn't follow her.

            "Kiko's going to take you home." Yami spoke, still gazing at Chibi-Usa. As soon as they finally disappeared from sight, Yami spoke once more. "What do you want?"

            "What I've always wanted, plain and simple."

            "You wish to have me executed?" Yami's eyes showed no fear.

            "Do you want that?"

            "I desire the searing pain of death. It feels like ecstasy to tell the truth."

            "You seem to enjoy the pleasure of bondage do you not?" Chibi-Usa had a grin.

            "Chibi-Usa, you're only twelve."          

            "But far from a child. I forbid you to see that woman. You will go out with me. I can promise you that."

            "And if I refuse?" he crossed his arms over his chest.

            "I will do more than accuse you of being a demon."

            "Majority of the witches are women young and old." Yami smiled. "And don't forget Chibi, I have ties with Marik."

            "That fuzzball would never believe a word from your mouth."

            "If you tell him that I'm a demon of all sorts, he wouldn't believe you."

            "You will go out with me Yami. I swear!"

            "What about Mamoru?" Yami smiled. "Forgetting him already?"

            "I'm getting tired of him." Chibi-Usa pouted.

            "I shall take my leave." That grin had never left his lips, turning around to leave.

            "Consider my offer."

            "Perhaps." He then walked off.

            "Come back you coward!" she yelled.

            "Chibi-Usa," the girl with the black hair knelt beside her. "Control yourself."

            "Rei," Chibi-Usa looked up at all the other girls. "Usagi, Ami, Mako, Minako, Umi, Hikaru," tears welled up in her eyes. "I just wanted Yami to go out with me, that's all."

            "But what of Mamoru?" Hikaru looked down at the child.

            "Don't you remember?" Umi ran her fingers through her aqua hair. "Mamoru ran off with some other girl name Miaka."

            "That's not fair!" Hikaru was surprised.

            "We'll make sure he goes out with you." Said Usagi with determination.

            Yami finally arrived at home a bit exhausted. It would've been easier if he had his horse with him. But no matter. Making his way up the stairs and to his room. With a lantern in his hand lit up, lighting up the darkness in his room, surprised to see Tea curled up on his bed, sleeping soundly, still in the clothes Yami had lent her. Smiling, he undressed himself, pulling on leather pants. He glanced at the tarot card on the nightstand next to the lantern. Curiously, turning it over, he saw The Empress.

            "The five of cups, lovers, death and the devil," he gazed at the tarot card before taking a glance at Tea. "I wonder." He then proceeded towards the bed laying beside the young girl, pulling the covers over her. "Screw the Puritan life. They'll never know."
