BlueEyez: Okay...um...Raven hates this chapter, so she's sitting in the corner, blasting her music and singing loudly so she doesn't have to think about it. I can't say I blame her.
Raven: *sings loudly* WAKE ME UP INSIIIIDE
Yami: I know why we didn't get many reviews.
BlueEyez: Why?
Yami: Because they all think they know what's going to happen. They think I'm gonna wind up falling head over heels for Raven and she's gonna do the same for me. They'll be shocked, I think. *mumbles* Good for nothing Raven.
Raven: BRRRIIING MEEEEE TOOOO LIFEEEE!
BlueEyez: Okay. I don't own YGO, just myself, Raven, and Star. I also own nothing you recognize, such as Bring Me To Life, the song that Raven is singing right now.
********************************
"Come on, Star. This is great. we'll be able to show the pharoah once and for all!" Raven laughed coldly, adrenaline rushing through her as she stood behind a tree outside the palace.
"I don't know...I mean...we really shouldn't trust that dude in the cloak who tipped us off...if he were really a fellow thief, wouldn't he want to keep the loot for himself?" Star's eyes were soft with worry.
Raven disregarded her. "Well, I don't see many guards. And even if they are there, we can take 'em."
"I don't know...it just seems like all this is just because of a grudge against the pharoah...what if one of us gets hurt because of it?" Raven's eyes almost softened for a moment as she saw the desperation in her friend's face.
"None of us are going to get hurt, Star...I promise." Raven reassured her. Star had never been one for stealing, except nonviolent thefts from the local food shopkeepers, unlike Raven, who used grand theft as a way to get at the Pharoah.
Star smiled faintly, but did not seem content. Raven tried to ignore the feeling of guilt inside her as they crept along. "Follow me." She said darkly, shooting her hookshot into the fronds of a palm tree and pulling herself up. Star followed.
Raven leapt into the shadeless window, and cast a glance behind her. Star was there, looking more worried than ever.
Something shiny caught her attention. It was a large chest, overflowing with precious gems! Raven stopped, gazing at it in surprise for a moment. "Too easy." She whispered, smirking as she walked closer to the chest. Star hung back nervously.
Suddenly, Raven heard about half a scream that was stifled quickly. Spinning around, she saw about three guards restraining Star. Drawing her knife, she advanced upon the three guards sinisterly.
She was then aware of movement all around her. She was completely surrounded by armed guards. "A trap." She thought. "That creep tipper set us up!" Raven looked around frantically for someone to single out to attack. She decided again on one of the guards restraining Star.
A voice behind her caused her to stop. "Your crime spree is OVER,Raven." Pharoah Yami roared in his typical 'I'm-going-to-defeat-you" voice.
Raven glared at him with a stare that, if looks could kill, would've burned him right then and there. "Or so you think. I've been in worse situations, and I can't say I'm unhappy that I get the chance to finally avenge my family and destroy you."
"Oh? Well, you seem to be unarmed, save that pathetic knife." Yami pointed out. "And I could always have all forty of my guards attack you."
Raven's anger and hatred built up inside her suddenly and she lunged for the Pharoah, cutting his shoulder cleanly with her knife. She stepped back, breathing heavily, and glared at him.
Yami clutched his shoulder for a moment, and the guards all stepped forward toward the undaunted Raven, but the young Pharoah signalled for them to stay back. Raven watched coldly, surprised he still thought he had a prayer against she who'd trained herself into a perfected warrior.
But Yami wasn't bad himself. He jumped forward, brandishing his long sword, and swiped at Raven with it. It caught her across her lower arms and waist, but instead of flinching, she dove at Yami again. This time, he was able to evade.
He was somewhat puzzled at why she did not bear any emotion in her eyes, they were just an icy, defiant sapphire.
She was about to make another move when he jumped for her, and she wound up flying back, the guards scattering as she crashed into a wall. She tried to prepare herself to dodge any attacks, but the Pharoah was now paying no more attention to her. He was instead focused on Star.
"you, too, are guilty of many murders, just like your foolish friend. Unless you wish to lay the blame on Raven, in which case she will simply be executed, not like she probably won't anyway. If you do not, then you will be taken to execution, because you were the sidekick and thus go first." He said coldly.
Raven met her gaze for a moment, trying to telepathically tell her to blame it all on her, that it was bad enough for Raven right now, that Star would be spared.
Star didn't seem to catch on. "Um...it was me...I did all the dirty work, Raven was just the brains behind the operation." She said slowly.
"Very well." Yami said grimly. "Take her away." He ordered the guards, who did so. He then turned back to Raven, but said nothing.
Raven stared fiercely at the floor for the moment in which you could just start to see pain in her eyes, but it was soon gone and she glared with nothing but the purest hatred up at Yami. She still felt dizzy from her injuries and her fall, and thus could not stand, but she refused to consent to him. All she could think about was how she had promised Star that nothing would happen to them. Star never even wanted to do that. Raven was a liar, and she had pretty much murdered her best friend. she didn't seem to realize everything getting darker, but she did see a white-haired figure in the window, smirking at her. "Bakura." She whispered. He had been the one to tip him off.
**********************************
She woke up in a dark dungeon, and was shocked and almost disappointed for a moment by the fact that she was still alive. She immediately knew she was in the Pharoah's prison, and once again even more loathing for him flooded her. He was the reason she was like this. Crawling across the hard floor, she curled herself in a corner and shut her eyes, trying to become one with the shadows and forget about the searing pain across her arms and abdomen.
She heard footsteps, and glanced up halfheartedly, hoping with all of her being that it wasn't the Pharoah. It wasn't. It was a taller figure with a tall hat, and sweeping robes that seemed to blow about even though there was no wind in the dungeon. Quite fancy attire, for a dungeon, Raven though to herself.
The person came toward her, paused for a moment, and chuckled darkly. "I can see that the Pharoah has been playing with fire again. You must be Raven, that infamous thief."
"Yes." Raven said without looking up. She couldn't bring herself to be that rude to him, he was not the reason she was here.
"He can be an idiot sometimes. That ego of his always getting in the way." the boy looked somewhere between seventeen and nineteen, whoever he was, Raven could see in the light of the candle he held. He had dark brown hair and icy blue eyes not unlike Raven's.
"Yeah." Raven wondered faintly who'd be brave enough, aside from her, to insult the Pharoah in his own castle. "So you've heard about us." she mumbled.
"I've heard the storie." Came his distant reply. Raven was grateful that he didn't question why she had said 'us', although he probably already knew what happened to Star.
"Who are you, anyway, and, just out of curiosity, what is your grudge against the pharoah?" Raven inquired.
"Well, the pharoah defeated me in my favorite game, the one at which I was previously undefeated. Then he started saying it was evil, and had shadow powers and all that...well, I'm a priest, and my name is Seth."

Yami: BAKA! You made me look like an evil jerk!
BlueEyez: You were mad. Raven had done a lot of bad things. You didn't know that star was only stealing out of loyalty to her friend.
Raven: CALL MY NAME AND SAAAAAAAAAAVE ME FROM THE DARK!!!
Seto: Phht. This story sucks, I'm not in it. And WHY is that freakish Seth dude talking to Raven?
Yami: *rolls eyes* I thought you needed a brain to run a company...
Raven: SAVE ME FROM THE NOTHING I'VE BEEECOOOME!
BlueEyez: anyway..please review.
