Chapter 12
Kari walked up the steps, onto the stage. Her eyes blazing, a calm but fiery anger hidden in their depths. A few delicate strands of hair loosely turning in the wind.
'Like a goddess.' Kaiba thought swiftly, almost dreamily. 'She's a goddess. And she is mine. She is my goddess.' The words ran over his mind, he repeated them over, as if to acknowledge their meaning.
"My love." He whispered. Marick glanced at Kaiba for a moment from the corner of his eye, then turned his gaze back to the stage, his arms crossed over his chest and he smiled. Bakura simply scowled. He had come only to see a good fight. No doubt this would get interesting, one hand on his hip, he gave a smug grin. Yu-Gi conferred with Yami for the moment.
"What do you think she's going to do?"
"I don't know Yu-Gi. But whatever it is, I hope it's not rash." Yami replied. His counterpart nodded.
"I'm worried about her Yami." Kari walked right onto the stage, Shade following.
'What is her plan? Please tell me she isn't going to just walk up here and punch him in the face. I'd like to do that too, but, this is the REAL world. We can't do things without breaking the barrier of reality and our world. Please tell me Hikari has gotten smarter.' Silence fell as Kari stopped, only a few feet away from her former father. The man stared.
"Can I help you miss?"
"Why?" The question hung, unanswered, he stared at her confused.
"Why what?"
"I want to know why you did this. If you left us because you couldn't take what was happening, then why didn't you tell me? I could've handled it. But you never told us a thing, I want to know why."
"Young lady, what are you TALKING about?" Kari lost it. She took a step towards him, and before anyone could move, held him by the scruff of his shirt, she yanked him down a bit to bring them eye to eye. Guards moved in, before Shade held them off.
"She won't hurt him. At least, I don't think so." He replied calmly. Bakura snorted.
"I knew she wouldn't have her patience for long." Hikari scowled at the man, he attempted to remove her grip, but something happened, for some reason, he couldn't, whether it was her own power, or the power of the necklace, it didn't matter, he couldn't get free.
"Why did you abandon us?!"
"Are you INSANE?!" The man demanded. Seto smiled.
"Actually, yes. She is." Seto declared, then noticed the camera turning to focus on him, he shrugged it off. Big deal, cameras were pointed at him all the time. James Usagi was NOT comforted by Seto's comment. He turned back to face the blazing eyes of Hikari.
"W-who are you?" He hissed. Hikari glowered at him, then threw him down onto the ground in disgust. She spat right next to his shoe.
"My name? I was disgusted with my name after you left. My name is Hikari Usagi. Your daughter. The one you abandoned."

Duke fell out of his chair with a crash. Joey sighed.
"And you guys called ME hotheaded." Tristan gaped.
"Oh boy . . . ." Poking his head up, Duke stared, his jaw slack.
"Is she . . . . NUTS??" He shrieked. They all looked at him, a rare moment of silence passed, then . .
"Yes." Duke fell over once more.
~~~
He stared at me with utmost horror.
"Miss . . . I have no idea what-!" He tried, no doubt trying to save his career. Shade scowled and walked up. He pulled back his hood.
"I have no idea what made you abandon her, but after what you did to us, *I* for one, never want to see your disgusting face AGAIN!" He cried out. Grabbing my arm, he towed me off, when I wrenched my arm out of his grip. He turned to stared at me. Turning to my ex-father, I took something out of the back of my pocket. A tiny card, it was worn down by the years. I tossed it at him carelessly.
"For 7 years I carried that around, now I don't need it any more." I murmured to him. I turned and stepped off the stage. Shade looked after me, then turned to our former father. He shook his head.
"Immature I know, but sucks to be you." He said grinning, then followed me.
~~~
"SUCKS TO BE YOU?? What is he FIVE??" Duke shrieked. Joey shrugged.
"That's Shade."
"You've known him for about 2 days Joey." Taia remarked dully. Joey shrugged.
"Still, I wonder what's going to happen." Tristan remarked dully, that was before the room started to spin.
"THE HELL??" Joey shrieked leaping to his feet.
"What's going on now?!" Duke demanded before everything fell black for them.
~~~
Stepping of the stage I scowled, noticing the cameras were all focused on me. As I walked by, I didn't even realize, that a few were sparking, that is until someone shoved a microphone in my face.
"S'cuse me, but what is the cause of your actions today?" I've never told you, have I? I absolutely HATE news reporters. Especially when they're prying into your life. Suddenly, hidden anger burned through me, like a fire. Cameras all around me exploded into pieces, Seto, eyes wide, put his arm around my shoulders, and hurried me along, brushing away reporters if necessary. Pardon, did I say 'brushing'? I meant 'punching'. All eyes were focused on us, that is . . . . . until I took a step and the ground started spinning. Without thinking I pushed Seto away, before I fell through the hole.
"KARI!" They yelled at once, I never heard them.
~!~
Shit, shit, shit, shit!! I thought over and over. Kari vanished into the swirly haze, leaving me, and the others to gape like idiots. Getting to my feet I ran over, just as the ground hazed beneath me. Before I realized it, I fell into darkness.
***
"What's going on?!" Bakura yelled. Yu-Gi stared at him in shock, before the ground beneath him began to turn.
"Look out!!" Marick screamed, before pushing the Pharaoh out of the way, and tumbling in himself. Unfortunately, the push sent Yu-Gi flying into Bakura who was sent careening back himself, pushing him into a vortex that opened in mid air, he went flying through before the vortex vanished, that was before Yu- Gi fell through another hole in the ground. All around, the bystanders were all shocked. James Usagi stood there, shocked, his younger daughter ran up to where the youths were all standing before.
"Where did they all go?" She asked, somewhat scared. A man placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Where you're going next." The girl glanced up in fright, and before she could scream out, they both vanished. James Usagi gaped.
"Kara."
~~~
My head felt so groggy, I was sure someone had poured fog into it, literally. Instruction, just add water. I opened my eyes, and stared around, not good. Chains held my wrists and tied me to the ceiling, sorry, but I just couldn't help it. How unbearably kinky. Why was the room dark?, barely lighted, I felt like someone was playing with the lighting system in my head. And not trying to fix it, trying to ruin it. I shook my head a little and my hair went whipping around my face, I stared, that's odd, I could've sworn it was tied up when I got sucked in. That was before I noticed my clothes were hanging. I gaped down at them, then swore, since when had I been wearing a dress?! The sleeves were fairly loose, and because of that fact, they were hanging on my shoulders, the lower half fell after my feet, and was kept from blowing away by the golden circlet around my waist. While I began to swear at the dress mentally, hey sue me, I don't like dresses, someone stepped out, I stared, seriously, could you get any more cheesier?
"So, nice to see you again Dire." I said boredly.
"The pleasure is all mine, I assure you." He said smirking. I groaned.
"Now what are you up to?"
"Simple, I'm going to kill you, but before I do, I'm going to make sure you suffer first." I frowned, what on earth was he talking about? He waved a hand and a misty image appeared in front of my eyes. They grew into separate clouds.
"What?!" I gasped as the images formed pictures of Duke, Yu-Gi, Bakura, Marick, and everyone, but there was on picture I didn't expect to be there, Kara, my stepsister. What was SHE doing here?! Dire smiled.
"That's right, you're going to watch your friends die slowly before your eyes." My stomach plummeted. Now what?
