Anaya's Creator: Another update. And I got an 83 on my Geometry test! One point from a B. And a 93 on my science test!

Malik: Which is pretty good for her for Geometry.

Anaya's Creator: Oh, Malik has a bigger part in this chapter!

Malik: Finally!

Anaya's Creator: First off some reviews:

Mukyuu Tenshi:

No, one of Rogue's powers that Akina didn't have that was in the last chapter isn't empathy, which is the sympathetic understanding of a person's feelings; however, she is empathetic, but that's not really a "super power". What I was trying to get at was telepathy, she read Kaiba's mind. As for your other questions: no.

Anaya's Creator: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. If I did, that'd rock hard!

Kaiba and Mokuba: We're back.

Anaya's Creator: Just in time for the next update!

During the night Rogue dreamed about when she and Malik had met.

Dream

Two years ago, Rouge had traveled to Egypt with her mother and Yoko. She had still been blind then and was still adjusting to it. After spending almost a year there, when one night at dinner in a restaurant some thieves had wanted her mother to hand over some artifacts she had found. Her mother had refused, and the thieves had taken her (Rogue) because of it. She had tried fighting back, but they used a knockout gas of some sort when she had started resisting. When she had come-to she was lying on the ground, blindfolded, and had no idea where she was. Anyone who she heard dare try to approach her she attacked, or at least tried to... her hands and feet were tied, and then she had heard this deep voice talking to her.

"Don't be afraid. No one is going to harm you," it said.

"I'm not afraid! I just don't know where the hell I am!"

"Let me speak to her, Odeon; perhaps my millennium rod can help her see reason," said another not-so-deep voice.

Rogue couldn't see it, but one of the men, the one called Odeon, was bald and wearing a log black robe; he also had tattoos on the left side of his face. The other had shoulder length sand blonde hair with the bangs hanging in front of his eyes a bit. He wore a purple shirt and kaki pants, and on his arms were several gold bands, he also had gold earrings in his ears and held a long golden rod.

"Leave us alone, Odeon," the lighter voice ordered.

"Yes, Master Malik," Odeon answered, and then he turned and left.

Rogue heard one of the man leave; she assumed it was the one called Odeon because the man with the not-so-deep voice spoke to her again. "This should be fun; you seem like the perfect mind-slave." He aimed the rod at her and he felt his powers reach her, but suddenly a streak of grey reached out and shot him against the wall, shocking him.

"How dare you try to enter my mind, you asshole," Rogue growled. Who did this guy think she was? Just someone he could toy with?

"You can do magic?" he asked her in wonder. That had been one powerful attack, he was out of breath and his body was still shaking from her attack. He took a good long look at her; she seemed so familiar to him. His eyes widened in slight fascination as they traveled from her green hair to her nearly shapeless chest and all the way down the rest of her body.

Even though Rogue couldn't see what he was doing, she could fell his eyes staring at her. She had felt that kind of stare from someone else before and she didn't like it. "Quit staring at me; and yes, I can do magic, somewhat." She heard footsteps advance towards her. "Stay back," she warned.

"I'm not going to hurt you," he said. He got down on his knees and her and put his hands on her shoulders.

"I said, stay back!" Trying to squrim away as much as she could.

"And if I don't," the man let out a soft chuckle. This girl was pretty unpredictable, especially like this. The only way to calm her down would be to do the completly unexpected.

"You'll get shocked again, this time much worse," Rogue retorted.

"You won't,"

"Give me one reason why."

"This," Unexpectedly (that was redundant), the man grabbed her chin and stole a kiss from her lips.

Rogue was extremely surprised at this, so surprised that she found herself weakening to him. As they parted, her jaw dropped. "What the hell was that for?"

"To calm you down,"

"Calm me down? How was that supposed to calm me down?"

"Aren't using your magic no more, are you?"

Rogue was silent.

"Let's call it truce," he proposed. "I don't use my magic and you don't use yours."

"Fine," Rogue agreed. Then she felt his removing the blindfold. "Why are you doing that?"

"I want to see your eyes,"

"Prepare to be disappointed," she muttered. As she felt the blindfold fell away she heard him gasp.

"Your eyes... they're scarred over; you're blind!"

"No shit, Sherlock!"

"For your information Miss, my name is Malik."

"Hi, I'm Rogue," she said in a false cheery voice, slapping on a fake smile. "Now let me go." Her voice changed to an impatient tone.

"Hey, I'm the one who gives the orders around here!"

"FYI: I take orders from no one." She felt his hands brush against hers. "Now what the hell are you doing?" She tried to get away from him, but Malik grabbed her lower arm just above the wrist.

"Just hold still; I'm trying to untie you."

Rogue heard the sound of a knife being unsheathed and became so still, you could have sworn she was struck dead. There was the sound of a knife being rubbed furiously against tough rope, and her hands became free. Then he did the same to her feet. "Why do you do this?"

"What... untie you? You're blind what harm can you do?"

"I can do quite a lot as you've already seen." She felt his hand run down the side of her face.

"I like that fiery spirit of yours, but you have no idea where you are. It's not a good idea for you to be running around, whether you can or can't see."

She heard him get up and almost leave, but she ran in the direction of his footsteps and tried to reach his shoulder, but ended up slamming into him and falling down.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I had to ask you one last thing," she said as he helped her off the ground.

"Fire away."

"Why did you kidnap me?"

"I thought your mother had something I wanted,"

"So,"

"I was wrong,"

"And you kidnapped me why?"

"Tomorrow, I'll take you back home."

"You didn't answer my question,"

"I kidnapped you because I thought you had something I wanted, but I think I found something better in you." He ran a hand through her hair and left her. Both of them not knowing this would be the start of an interesting and complicated friendship and, they also didn't know that it would also lead to much more.

Slowly, that dream melted away to form another, in this one she could see, but fat lot of help that was, she was surrounded by darkness. Someone stepped out of the darkness and she could see who it was.

It was some blonde dude with spiky hair and tan skin who looked about her age. "Hello Rogue, or should I say Akina?"

"Akina, I don't know who you're talking about."

The man chuckled and stepped towards her. "Akina, my darling do you not remember me?"

"I don't know who the hell you're talking about, but it's not me. And who the hell are you?"

"I'm Malik,"

Rogue stared at him. No, it couldn't be Malik. He had described himself to her and let her touch his face to get a better knowlage of what he looked like and, according to that, he looked nothing like this man did, sure they both had blonde hair and purple eyes, but Malik's hair didn't stick up right like that and this fraud's voice was definitely different from the real Malik's voice. "Imposter, you're not the real Malik. And I'm not Akina," she exclaimed.

The pretender laughed evilly and got closer to her. He grabbed her chin roughly and gazed deeply into her eyes. "You have her green hair; you have her beautiful dark grey eyes. How could you not be her?" (Under her scarred eyelids, Rogue's eyes are dark grey, like Akina's were.)

Rogue didn't like the way this man, whoever he was, was staring at her. His stare gave the impression that she was some delicious meal he couldn't wait to devour. Hungrily, he crashed his lips against hers in a ravenous kiss.

"Stop, please, leave me alone," she pleaded as one of his arms encircled her.

The imposter broke the kiss and brushed some of her hair away from her ear. "At last after five millennia of waiting, I have found you, my darling Akina. Now I can avenge your death by stripping the Pharaoh of the little power he has. Come, be my queen and we will rule the earth together."

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about, you fraud, but I will be nobody's queen, especially yours." A grey aura surrounded her and with a great feat of strength, was able to push him away from her. Then she turned and run off.

"You can't run from destiny, my love," he yelled after her as she retreated.

Rogue took no heed of his words and kept running, not daring to look behind her. Suddenly, she was running through a cavernous room that looked as though it was made of clear watery quartz. In the center of the room was a large mound of black translucent crystal with hieroglyphs carved on the sides. Strangely, Rogue could read them as if they were written in English. Having no idea why she could, Rogue began to read the writing.

"Here she sleeps, within an unknowing soul,

Whose suitor was a pharaoh, but husband a priest,

She lived to die, saving all that she loved

This place is where she lies, Akina, the Mighty Sea."

In that instant, the top of the mound shattered into a myriad of pieces, revealing a relatively young woman with green hair and tan skin. A golden Eye of Horus necklace was around her neck. Rogue reached under the neckline of her pajama top and brought out her own necklace, which was exactly identical to the one around the woman's neck. She took a second look at the woman and saw her body was scarred, much like her own, and her eyes also had huge scars over them, sealing them shut.

"She... is... me..." Rogue slowly admitted to herself.

Then the woman's body became completely lucid white and flew at Rogue. The thing transformed itself into the dragon staff that Rogue used to get around. There was a great shudder throughout the cavern, the ground fell away beneath her feet and she began to freefall. Then she hit a hard flat surface with a loud thud!

Reality

Rogue really was lying on a hard surface. Everything was black, she felt around her and hit her bed beside her as she did. I must have fallen out of the bed in my sleep, she thought. Her hands went to her neck and she fumbled around the neckline of her pajamas with shaking hands until she found what she was looking for, a thin chain that had an Eye of Horus pendant hanging from it, the one Malik had given her.

Good, she thought. I didn't lose it while I was tossing and turning. She got on her knees and crawled out side of her room.

Outside in the hall, she used the walls to help her to her feet. Very carefully, using the walls to guide her, she made her way downstairs to the kitchen. She heard the soft clink of a mug being placed on their Formica table. According to the smell wafting from the kitchen, it was full of black tea. Yoko must be up too, she thought, He's the only person besides me that drinks tea.

"Rogue, what are you doing up?" she heard him ask as she entered the kitchen. "It's four in the morning; you need to get ready for school in about two hours."

"It's okay, bro. I normally get up an hour from now."

"Ah, early to bed, early to rise, keeps..."

"A man healthy, wealthy, and wise; Benjamin Franklin said that." Rogue felt her way to a chair and sat down.

"One of the greatest inventors of his time,"

"The Egyptians were good inventors too."

"And don't we know it." Their mother was an Egyptologist. There was the sudden shuffling of papers as their conversation halted.

"What were you doing brother?"

"Just been looking at some old pictures and such. Would you like some tea, Sis? I made a whole pot."

"That sounds nice. Why not?" She heard him get up, pull a cup out of the cabinet, pour some tea in it, and place it in front of her.

"Sis, how about we tour downtown Domino Friday evening?"

"That would be fantastic!" Rogue raised her glass to her brother.

Alright then, Friday it is! And by the way, Happy Brithday, Sis!" He clinked his glass against hers and they both drank.
