Anaya's Creator: Guten Tag! The Yu-Gi-Oh gang has gone away for a while, so it's just me today. Here's some reviews:
Stormtracer:
Sorry, I just think that Tristan and Duke can be a little stupid sometimes, but that's my opinion. I hope you can review this chapter.
KrysofSorrow:
Damn, you're out of chocolate. Don't get too P.O.'ed
Kagomewannabe2008:
Hey, haven't heard form you in a while. And yeah, since Rogue hadn't cried ever since she went blind, which would be about four years, it did probably feel good. Don't fret about chapter 11, things change a bit.
FanOYGO:
I'm glad you look forward to reading my stories.

After a long while, the gang came back and they were off to Kaiba Corps. Island; fully unaware of what was waiting for them. Everyone got off the blimp and watched the four way duel. The results were this: first duel: Joey vs. Marik, them Yugi vs. Kaiba, and the winner of those two duels would face each other. But when they reached the top of the Duel Tower, someone was waiting for them.
The man was tall, his thin frame clad all in black, with night-sky-without-stars black hair, there was a grey mask covering his nose and mouth and what could be seen of his skin was pale, as if he had never seen daylight. Seeing him in broad daylight was very eerie and sent a chill of fear down everyone's spine. Even Rogue could feel his presence. "Hello Rogue," he said.
"Karasu," she spat.
"Look, I don't know who you are or care how you know Rogue," Kaiba shouted. "But this is private property and I suggest you leave the premises now before I call security."
"Your threats don't threaten me, Seto Kaiba," Karasu goaded. "In fact I find them quite amusing."
The man then seemed to disappear, and the next moment he was standing on top of one of the spikes of the duel tower holding Mokuba above them by the back his neck. "Put me down!" the twelve year old exclaimed as he squirmed and kicked the air, trying to get away.
"Let my brother go, you slime!" Kaiba demanded.
Karasu laughed; it was the sound of an old tin can being kicked across a street. "Ha, ha, ha, come now you dim-witted human, if I let your baby brother go, Mokuba may not survive the fall; however, if he keeps thrashing about, he may slip from my grasp." Karasu tightened his grip on the back of Mokuba's neck, making the youth give out a small cry and stopped struggling.
"Leave the little one out of this, Karasu. Your battle is with me, not the rest of them," Rogue ordered.
Again Karasu laughed his cruel laugh. "You spoil my fun, Rogue. You should know more than anyone that I seriously enjoy the suffering of others, no matter who it is." Mokuba was shaken slightly. "You want the kid? Catch him, if you can!" And with that he cast Mokuba into the air.
Kaiba ran towards his falling brother. Rogue followed suit, knowing they may not make it in time, she cried, "Schwebt," (A/N: that really means hover in German,) and Mokuba's treacherous fall was brought to a halt by a grey cloud forming beneath him.
That damn girl and her powers, Karasu thought menacingly. He drew a very small circular sphere, took careful aim, and hurled it at Rogue.
Down on the ground, Rogue felt something hit her shoulder and explode on contact. She screamed and she fell to her knees, clutching her shoulder in immense pain. Her spell was broken and the cloud of magic faded, but, luckily, Kaiba caught his brother.
After letting his brother make sure he was okay, Mokuba ran over to Rogue. "Rogue, are you okay? How bad is your pain?"
"The pain is nothing, nothing I'm not used to. Run while there's still time."
Kaiba heeded her advice, grabbed Mokuba by the shoulder, and hurried him over to where the others were.
Karasu jumped down from the spike where he had perched and landed beside Rogue. Roughly, he forced her to her feet by grabbing her ear. "Remember that wound, Rogue?" he jeered in her ear. "That familiar agony of having your shoulder split open to the muscle tissue? Ha, ha, ha," He drew out another sphere and threw it at her knees.
Rogue screamed again as blood spilled from them and telling from the feeling in her knees, they were both fractured, again.
Adan swept in front of Karasu's face, scratching his face with his talons as he passed. Karasu ceased his laughter, let go of Rogue's ear, and ran a short distance from her as she fell back down.
"You bastard, Karasu. You want to fight me? Let's finish what you started!" With a great effort, Rogue stood up and drew her sword.
Adan flew into the sky above them and hovered there so he could help Rogue fight.
"No weapons, for I have none. You would be at an unfair advantage over me if you fought with both your powers and sword." Karasu said.
Rogue threw her sword aside without argument, even though she knew that what Karasu said was bull-shit.
"Rogue, don't do this!" Yami pleaded.
"Stay out of this Yami! You don't know what this monster has done to my family and to my life! It's about time he paid for tearing us apart!"
That's it Rogue, Karasu thought. Let anger fill your heart, let hatred rush though your veins. Come at me with everything you've got and be prepared to die!"
With Adan guiding her, Rogue charged blindly.
Karasu easily dodged her, but she must have heard him pass him, for the next moment his foot was trapped in her hand and he was hurdling towards the ground. He took out a small sphere and threw it at her stomach, but just in time Adan swooped down and swallowed it. "Damn bird," he muttered.
Adan then flew over to Marik, flying around his head, then swooping behind him and took the Millennium Rod in his beak.
"Give that back," he demanded.
The bird obediently dropped it into his hand. Immediately, the rod began to glow without his command. Adan, seeing his work was done flew back to his position above the fight.
Shapes began to form in Rogue's eyelids and she could see Karasu springing back to his feet and threw two tiny spheres at her. I can see, she thought slightly in shock. Not dwelling on this,she dodged the spheres, but her victory was short lived when she felt a third one, that she hadn't spotted, hit her stomach.
There was an explosion and blood spurted from her stomach. Rogue, trying to remain on her feet, leaned forward, but since most of her strength had now failed her, she fell forward onto the ground.
"ROGUE," Serenity screamed, she tried to run towards her fallen friend, but Adan came in front of her and stopped her from moving any closer.
"I'd heed that bird's warning if I were you, foolish girl," Karasu taunted as he watched Serenity's struggles. Karasu created a small bomb in his hand and threw it so that it landed a few feet in front of Serenity, who ran back into Kaiba. "Listen well, all of you pitiful mortals, your friend has now died and any one who approaches will share her fate. Not that you can escape what I plan to do with you all after I've finished with her." He began to walk toward Rogue's fallen form.
I'm not dead yet Karasu, Rogue thought. Luckily, whatever is making me see is still in effect. I have one last chance to finish this match off. It will cause me great pain and will cost me everything, but I will do it! She pulled herself to her knees.
"Not dead yet, are we? No matter, you will die when your heart is removed from your body, and your friends will share your fate after you." Karasu extended his clawed hands to her chest.
Now, Rogue thought frantically. She shaped her hand just right and shoved it right into his heart. "Die, Karasu!" she shouted.
The next thing the gang saw was that Rogue's hand was sticking out of Karasu's back. They watched her withdraw it and both of them fell, with Karasu's body disappearing in a shimmer of silver light. Marik's Millennium Rod ceased it's glow.
"I'll go call the medics," Mokuba said running to where he knew the emergency phone was.
Moments later, doctors arrived on the scene. "She still has a pulse, but she's barely alive," they explained and carried her back down to the blimp.
It took a while for everyone to notice that the blood that had spilled on the ground had disappeared. Several questions were on everyone's minds. Who was that guy? Why did he want to kill Rogue? How did he know her? No one knew the answers, but there was one thing they all knew: it was time for the first duel of the Battle City finals to begin.
