After Seto has deposited her at the house and left, Yugi found her and quickly took her inside. With Joey and Mai's help, he rebandaged her wound and left her alone to sleep. Marik came by later that day. He had intended to save Cat himself, but by the time he came back, she was gone. He had assumed that Yugi and the others had found her. He knocked loudly on the door as Joey answered.

"Marik." He said in a curt greeting.

"Is Cat here?" Marik asked, knowing full well that she was.

"She's not feeling well." Joey answered.

"May I see her?" Marik persisted. Joey shrugged as he watched Marik walk to Cat's room.

"I really don't like that guy, Yuge." Joey said to Yugi as he came to see who was at the door.

"Remember Joey, he might be just a computer program, and nothing like the real Marik." Yugi pointed out. Joey shrugged.

"Still don't like him." He responded as the two left the room.

Mai looked up at Marik pushed open the door. Mai stood up and left as Marik entered. She, like Joey didn't trust him either, and whether a computer program or not; she didn't want to have anything to do with him. Marik smirked at their response to him as he went to stand over Cat. She was pale, against the sheets and her shoulder was bandaged. Marik sat down next to her.

"You will probably wake up any time now, and when you do. I'll tell you all about how Seto shot you, and how I beat him off." Marik smiled triumphantly. He leaned back against the wall, arms crossed. It was only a matter of time now. Marik wasn't sure how long he stood there when Cat started to stir.

'Finally.' Marik thought aggravatedly. Cat didn't wake as she moved a little.

"Seto." She said quietly as Marik rolled his eyes. She was still thinking of him!

"I love you, Seto." She whispered. Marik stood there, hands at his sides, staring in shock. 'No!' he thought angrily. 'He just shot her!'

"How can you still love him!" Marik angrily questioned the sleeping girl, his face next to her ear. "Tell me!" he hissed. "How can you still love Seto Kaiba!?"

Cat moved in her sleep a little more as she winced from the pain in her shoulder.

"I know you didn't shoot that arrow, Seto. And I saw you. You saved me." She muttered to herself as if in answer to Marik's question. Marik's world rocked as his eyes widened in disbelief and shock.

'No! It's not fair! I made sure she saw his face before she passed out!' Marik clenched his hands in fury as he slowly disappeared from the game.

Marik sat in a chair as he watched the monitor that showed the sleeping Cat.

"Don't think that this is over." He sneered. "I will have what I want. And I won't stop at anything." He stood up as he headed to the door. "I was nice this time, but don't think that next time will be this easy!" he yelled as he slammed the door behind him. Fine! If that was the way it was going to end, then he would keep the game operators under his control. They wouldn't be able to beat the game that way, and with Yugi and Cat gone; he could rule as pharaoh.

"I should have just done this in the first place." He said to himself as he got on his waiting motorcycle and roared off. 

Not long after Marik left, Cat woke from her sleep. She sat up, and stared at the wall, her mind thinking about everything that had happened.

"Seto." She said quietly. She needed to see him, now. Cat slowly got up and put on the white dress she had worn at the beginning of the game. She gingerly wrapped the white cape around her wounded shoulder and fastened the clasp. She then walked over to her chest of drawers. After rummaging around, she held up a crystal, one that looked very much like the one Seto had stolen. She put the crystal on a chain around her neck and gazed at her reflection. Satisfied with what she saw, she pulled the hood of the cape over her face, grabbed her Pegasus card, and soundlessly left the room.
