Marik was is a panic. He scooped up Kira and rushed her towards the bathroom. Dabbing her head lightly with a cloth, he attempted to wake her out of this state. But it was no good. He shook her shoulders a bit. He head lolled about on her shoulders, and her mouth as open to a slit.



"Kira, Kira come on, don't be like this!" Marik pleaded, trying to wake her out of this. Kira was still unconscious and unaware of this all. Marik decided to place her down on the spare bed, lay a cool cloth across her head and then leave it at that.



Descending the stairs, Marik made his was into the kitchen to prepare dinner.



Meanwhile:



*Kiras dream while unconscious*



Where am I? She thought, sitting up and rubbing her head. Kira glanced all around her. It was dark, very dark. There was light, but hardly enough to live by. She blinked and stood up. She was no longer in Marik's house. Kira hesitated. She walked forward a bit, and then stopped. She was getting nowhere. The suddenly out of the darkness, came a figure. Kira squinted, attempting to see it better, but it didn't help.



"Hello Kira." said an icy cold voice. Kira shivered, the voice was so unnerving. She backed up a bit, only to have the figure advance a step.



"W-who are you?" she asked, trembling due to the sudden wave of cold that swept over her body. Kira wrapped her arms around herself to warm up, but it was a feeble, and useless attempt.



"Me? Oh of course! I'm the only other one here! I am, as many call me, The Boss." The Boss said even more icily. Kira shivered once more. The voice chuckled, and stopped.



"I can sense something. I know you know who I am. Kira. Do not deny it." Kira shook all over now. This was way too weird!



"I have no clue who you are! Get away from me!" Kira spat, holding up her courage. The Boss chuckled again.



"Kira, Kira. What am I going to do with you?" The Boss laughed, "I have to do with you every living second of your life!"



Kira shook her head.



"No, no you don't!" she snapped. The Boss took an advancing step towards her.



"Yes I do. I was there for your birth, I was there for your first day of school. I am here right now, I am in you, the evil within every goddess." Kira felt tears starting to build up in her eyes.



"I can sense your fear, and confusion. For every goddess, there is A Boss. The Boss is what lets them live, makes them better than the rest, and watches over them. But for every Boss, there is an evil one. And I'm not pointing any fingers, but I am one of them. I used to be a good Boss. Always on task, in order and I never showed my true form to you, until now. Your father knows me, and I know him. He was supposed to run a very important errand for me a long time ago, and for that errand cost me my soul, my life. I could not walk among the living without being scowled or hurt. I walked in shadows, at night. It was all due to your fathers stupid little mistake. And I told him, in exact words, I said 'Now, this errand must be done right, or it will cost me greatly, but I need something in return if anything is to go wrong, I need, your daughter.'" With that, the icy voice laughed an evil laugh. Kira fell to her knees.



Fear spread all over Kiras body. She shook all over as if a wave of icy wind had washed over her. The icy voice plagued through her body like an unstoppable disease. Kira huddled her face into her knees, crying her little heart out.



"That's right my child, your father wagered you! His own daughter! Can you believe it? I sure can. Now listen closely. You will never see this boy you call Marik, or your family again, if you do not follow my orders. You will receive one letter every 2 months explaining what I need you to do. If you cannot finish that task within 2 months, consider yourself dead. Oh, and just to tell you, you'll be waking up with a splitting headache in about, 2 seconds."



Kira looked up to ask him how he knew she was unconscious, but when she opened her mouth all that was emitted was a scream.



She woke up to find herself lying in her bed screaming. Kira didn't realize she was screaming. As she sat there she suddenly realized the voice was her own, and the throbbing pain in her head.

Just as she brought a hand up to clutch her head, Marik bolted through the door.



"Kira? What is it?" he asked, looking around frantically. Kira moaned in pain as she clutched her head, in an attempt to get rid of the pain, it only made it worse. Marik sat down on the bed beside her and put his arm over her shoulder. Kira looked over to Marik, tears in her eyes.



"What's wrong with me?"
