Finally! *Smiles* I'm actually getting some time to write the next chappie.
With all the back to school shopping and sleepovers at last minute notice,
I've been kinda busy this past two weeks.
After school starts I'm not going to have much time to write and update; but I'll try my hardest. Promise.
Chapter 7: The letter
" You mean Pegasus's handwriting?" Joey asked, to make sure he understood what she just said.
Jenna slowly nodded. Why would her father be writing to her? Why couldn't he just come and see her? ~ I miss you, daddy. ~ She thought and looked at her friends. All of them had anxious looks on their faces.
She began reading aloud," Dearest Jenna, if you are reading this now, I'm most likely far away. After my tournament, a lot of unexpected things happened. All were bad. I'm sorry I just left you on that island. I hope you are all right and not angry with me."
" What is he talking about?" Joey asked, itching the back of his neck.
Jenna ignored his question and continued," As much as I want to see you, it is impossible. It's a miracle I was able to get this letter to you; he is always watching now."
Jenna glanced up. Tea seemed to sense the question burning in her eyes," Keep reading, maybe Pegasus mentions who he's talking about." She said and smiled kindly.
" I forbid you to come looking for me, it is too dangerous and I overheard him talking to Marik. He said he needs you to complete his task. I don't know what he meant, but I'm positive it was nothing good. He and Marik made some kind of a deal with whoever gets my Millennium Eye. Ask Yugi and he'll tell you more about that."
A tear escaped Jenna's eye. From what she could tell, her father was held prisoner. And that 'he' was someone who wasn't about to let him walk out. She continued," I hope to see you soon, Jenna. If not, please forgive me for everything I did wrong. Goodbye, daughter. I would tell you more, but I sense him coming now."
No one said anything. The wind swept past them, raising the fallen leaves. The birds sang happily on the tree branches. Small children played in the park and many duels went on around them. As for her, she didn't notice any of that. Jenna crumpled up the piece of paper in her fist. She couldn't just sit around while her father was held captive somewhere!
" I have to continue looking for him! Just because I don't know where to start, doesn't mean anything. I just can't give up!" She cried out, looking at her friends.
Thinking awhile, Yugi replied," We'll help you look for him. Pegasus may not be on our favorite list of people, but after reading his journal my thinking changed a little. Right?" He glanced at Tea, Joey, and Tristan. They all nodded.
Jenna smiled. " Thanks, you guys. This means a lot to me." She was about to throw away the envelope when something shiny slid out of it, hitting the ground. Bending down to pick it up, she saw it was a small silver key. " I wonder what this is doing here."
Shoving it in the pocket of her skirt, she noticed something else on the envelope. Two big letters were imprinted on it. " VP? What does that mean?" she asked.
" I don't know, but it may be a clue." Tristan said.
" How?" Joey asked.
Tristan sighed. " Generally letters stand for something, Joey. In this case it may be important." He explained.
Joey glared at him. " I know that! What I meant is how are we supposed to use the clue if we don't even know what it means?"
Tristan laughed nervously. " Good point."
" I think we all know someone who does know what that means." Yugi said, adjusting his disk.
Jenna's eyes narrowed." You mean Seto Kaiba, don't you?"
He nodded.
" I DO NOT want to see that jerk! He can go to hell for all I care! I am not asking HIM for help!" She exclaimed, her earlier anger coming back.
" Put aside your pride for a few hours. He may be the only person who knows what that means. You do want to find Pegasus, don't you, Jenna?" Tea asked.
Shutting her eyes is defeat, Jenna replied," Fine."
*********At Kaiba Corp*************
Seto was typing something in his laptop when they walked up to him, Jenna all the way in the back, avoiding eye contact. He grimly looked up.
" What do you want now?"
" We need your help, Kaiba." Yugi said.
Seto smirked. " Well now, I would have never expected you, Yugi, to come to me asking for help. I must admit, I feel honored." He replied sarcastically.
" We don't have time for your big mouth, Kaiba." Joey cried out, raising his fist.
Seto's eyes narrowed on Jenna. " Stay out of this, dog. Don't you have some fleas to pull out of that hair of yours?" He asked, changing his glance to Joey.
Tea cut in, getting angry. " Look, will you just tell us what VP means?"
" And how should I know what that means?"
She folded her arms," You practically own the city, Kaiba. I'm sure you can find out what two simple letters mean."
Pleased with the compliment, he said," This problem of yours is somehow related to her, isn't it?" He asked, looking at Jenna.
She could feel her face tighten. " That's none of your business, Seto."
He laughed," Well, aren't you the talkative one, Jenna?" Seeing four pairs of angry eyes glaring at him, he added," All right. I know what that means. Now what will I get out of helping you?"
[A/N- I wonder what that means. Read the next chappie to find out! I'll update as soon as I can.
Please leave a review. I like them. They make me write faster.
