Again I forget the disclaimer saying I don't own Yugioh just Tanith.
Dreams haunted her. Dreams of the little girl who looked just like her. It began where she left off.
A shadow approached her and she began to scream. Her screams were abruptly cut off by a blow to her side sending her to the ground right before a sword would have skewered her where she stood.
The person who knocked her down was not so lucky.
Tanith crawled up to her feet to see her mother's head go tumbling off while her body collapsed in front of one of the pharaoh's soldiers. The little girl watched in shock as the man walked off to gather the head of her mother and place it with her body.
What was the meaning of this, she wondered as the solider stalked up to her eyeing her with his savage bloodthirsty eyes. He raised his sword above her and began to bring it down upon the little girl.
Tanith awoke with a gasp and found her world still whirling. Through the circling of the room, she could tell she wasn't anywhere she knew. The bed she lay on was too soft, smelling of lavender and roses.
She raised her head up and the room continued to whirl even more. Despite that with gritted teeth she examined the room she was in.
A window lay to her left with wooden like bars across it. Below it was a seat for her to lounge on if she wasn't so dopey. To the right was a wooden dresser full of clothes she would wear. On top of the dresser was a camera winking down at her, zooming in and out without malice.
Tanith lay back down and turned her head to the right and saw next to her a glass of water sitting on the nightstand, waiting for her when she felt better. She sent it wobbling at the camera, knocking it to the floor.
"I am not amused." She groaned. The camera continued winking.
"Who could have kidnapped Tanith?" Tea asked when she came over to Yugi's that night. Yami was over playing Duel Monsters with Joey and Yugi. So far it was mostly a competition between Yugi and Yami.
"Who do we know who would want to?" Joey inquired. "I mean there aren't a lot of people that know what she can do. Tele-ka whatsit wise."
"Telekinesis or psychokinesis, Joey." Yami replied. "I play Kuriboh in attack mode."
"Ah man!" Joey said throwing the cards down that were in his hand. "You wiped my life points out!"
Yugi giggled, "You knew it was going to happen."
"Back to Tanith, boys" Tea said with a scowl and her hands on her hips, "Who do you think took her."
"Well it can't be Malik, Tanith told me he was the one who threw her out the window when we were saving Ryou." Yugi replied.
"True." Yami said as he played the Dark Magician. "There's no love lost between those two."
"Right, and if Malik does have her, they're more likely to kill each other." Joey said innocently. Everyone shot him a dirty look.
"Didn't you mention earlier, Croquet mentioning that Kaiba was threatening to steal Tanith away from Pegasus." Tea asked Yami. "Maybe he finally got sick of Tanith supplying Pegasus with gadgets and stole her like he threatened."
"Number one: Kaiba is a businessman." Yami replied. "He duels like like does his business with ruthless aggression. But… he's somewhat honest in his dealings. If he said he'd steal Tanith he probably meant buy her out."
"He's got the money for it." Yugi replied laying down his own Dark Magician.
"So who does have Tanith if not either of 'em?"
"I wish I knew Joey." Yami said with a sigh. "Tanith Rivencroft is a deadly person to hold. Her intelligence is akin to Bakura's devious mind. Her power is too. It's not a wonder that Bakura calls her his shadow."
Meanwhile at Ryou's place…
"What do you mean you haven't seen him! Isis this is Malik," Bakura screamed in the phone. "Your brother, the evil mastermind who…"
Across from him on the couch, Ryou smiled as Isis apparently cut his yami off.
"Yes I know I'm an evil mastermind!" Bakura shouted. Ryou chuckled as his yami shot him a nasty look and drug the phone away into the kitchen where nice pointy knives called to him. He knew when to run, Ryou jumped up and went to lock himself in his room.
Tanith was growing hungry and the food lay just a few inches away right in front of the cutaway in the door that was designed for the exact purpose of delivering her meals.
The sweet scent of rolls dipped in honey wafted over to her as she sat on the bed staring at the plate. Tanith could see a glass of cool water, honey roasted ham, and sweet potatoes covered in brown sugar. Just staring at it made her mouth water. But she knew it was drugged.
It took her all of the twelve drug induced hours to figure out that's how her kidnapper planned to keep her. Plant sedatives inside her food and they didn't have to concern themselves with her telekinetic power.
They knew her well…
Her kidnapper knew that ham was her favorite. That she loved her sweet potatoes dunked in sugar, and she preferred to drink water. Even the elegant surroundings were devised with her in mind.
She padded over to the over turned camera and set it back in front of the bed so she could safely sit on the bed and talk to it.
"You sick demented nut case!" Tanith shouted. "You plan on keeping me here forever, praying like a sissy, by the way, I'll like it here."
"Get a clue, Sherlock. I-wanna-go-home!"
The camera continued winking at her. Zooming in, zooming out until the lens peeled back and Tanith was face to face with a dart gun.
"Crap." She got out before she was shot and was quickly off to Lala land once more where she dreamed…

No reviews, that makes me mad! Argh! Oh well…
