It was 6 in the morning, 2 hours before school starts. The car ride was silent. Everyone lost on deep thought. Joey thought about the stranger he saw last night, and about the new evil that they must face soon. Dana was thinking about what happened back at the hospital.
Chris was on top of Dana, feeling her pain leave her, He reached up her shirt and Dana stopped him.
" No... please stop" Those words echoed in the back of her head. She was unable to put the thought in the back of her mind. She felt the tears swell up in her eyes and turned to look out the window. Tears ran down her cheek watching buildings fly past her.
While Chris was driving his thoughts were on the dream he had last night and on the little experance he and Dana had last night.
Chris reached up her shirt and he felt her bra.
" no... please dont" Chris quickly got off of her and mentally kicked himself, he wiped away his tears.
" Im sorry, I wont force you into doing anything you dont want to" She looked up to him with her blue eyes looking up at his. Her eyes were a way of saying thank you.
Chris snapped out of his little day dream and focused on his driving. Chris noticed dana looking out the window. He wanted to say something but kept his eyes on the road.
Then Chris started to think about the dream he had last night.
Chris was sitting there staring at the pictures of the god cards, He walked inside and heard chanting of some kind. " Good work my servants, now go to Mayfield at once and claim the pharoah's soul" Chris snapped out of his trance and pulled into mcdonalds. Joey leaned forward and started to drool.
" Man am i hungry" Joey said as Chris parked the car. Chris got out and slammed the door shut clenching his fist. followed by Dana wiping some tears away. Then Joey got out and calmly walked inside. Dana came over to Chris and they both held hands.
" Something wrong Dana" Chris asked her, She didnt respond right away. " Dana" Chris asked again.
" Its nothing... just...what allmost happened last night" She said hesitantly. Chris turned his head to her.
" Hey dont worry about it, like I said before, I wont force you into doing anything you dont wanna do" Chris said putting his arm around her waist.
" Thank you" She replied happily. Chris's cell phone began to ring.
" Go on inside Dana, its Sargent, ill make this quick" Chris said taking out his phone.
" But" dana said but Chris interuppted.
" Hey dont worry about it, Joeys inside, he will watch over you" Chris said with a smile. She closed her eyes and sighed.
" Ok, but promise you will be done soon" She asked pointing a finger at him. Chris laughed slightly.
" Ok , I promise" with that Dana walked slowly inside and ran a hand through her blonde hair. " Man, am I love sick" He picked up the phone and put it in his ear.
" Sup Sarge... Yeah she's fine, im looking at her right now...Whoa slow down dude" It sounded like Sargent was babbeling. " Now slowly tell me what happened... yeah... yeah...what" Yelled Chris over the phone. Several people turned to look at him. " Oh uh sorry" Chris said to them.
" So you Dave and John ran into a dark figure saying that there master is going to take over the world" That sounded like the same crap I dreamed about last night, Chris thought to himself.
" Yeah im here... were at mcdonalds getting something to eat, Joey insisted...well you know him his stomach is endless" Chris laughed. " Anyway, we got something to talk about but I think its best to talk about it at school... it seems to me that we all had the same encounter... ill ask Joey later"
Chris took a look inside and saw Joey getting surrounded by some old guys, Dana right behind him.
" Dammit now what has joey gotten himself into, look Sarge I gotta go Joeys starting problems...yeah, were at the Mcdonalds in gloversville... K just hurry, looks like this could get ugly" Chris hung up the phone and ran inside putting the phone in his pocket.
Chris saw Joey putting up his fists while the old guys stood there and laughed.
" Stupid boy" one of them said as the others laughed. One of them stepped forward and stared evily at Dana.
" Oh Dana, its time to go home" The man said cracking his knuckles.
" No, I wont ever go home to you, you will just abuse me some more, well ive had enough of it, im done living with you, im staying with Chris" Dana's voice made the man angry.
" Stupid girl, you will come home" Joey rushed for 1 of them but got punched in the stomach. One of them put him in a full nelson lock and the other punched away at him. One punch in the stomach and one in the face. The other man went over to Dana and grabbed her hair. She began to scream wildly.
" Please let go of my hair" Dana begged, but all it did was make the old man pull even harder.
" Why, so you can run away from me again" The man slapped her and left a red mark across her face.
" No...Dana" Joey said between taking punchs, the man holding him let him go and Joey fell to the ground.
" Joey" Dana said putting her hand to her cheek. Her father picked her up by her hair and smiled.
" Worthless bitch" He punched her in the face and she fell to the ground. The man laughed and the others went along with him.
Without much thought Chris jumped in with a clenched fist and ran for Dana's father. " You leave her alone" Chris jumped in the air and landed his fist in the fathers cheek, causing him to back up and his face turning red. his hand went to his face and his nose began to bleed.
" Who the hell" said one of the other old guys.
" Leave her alone" Chris's eyes burned with fire and he turned to see Dana on the ground, bleeding slightly. " No, you son of a bitch, you hurt her" The father smiled.
" So you must be the boy friend, how sweet" he laughed along with the other 2 guys. Chris clenched his fists and saw joey starting to stand up.
" You asshole... leave... dana... alone" Joey said as the old guy took a punch at him and Joey kneeled down in pain.
Chris ran for the old guy that hit Joey, but Dana's father stopped him, landing a punch in his stomach. Chris bent down from the impact and the old guy countered with a elbow to the back of his neck. Chris kneeled down and growled.
" Heh, thats right bow before me" he picked chris up by hair and threw him to the side. " Some boy friend" he said sarcasticly. The old man walked over to dana who was on her knee's. He kicked her in the stomach and she gasped for air.
" LEAVE HER ALONE" Chris yelled standing up. The old guy turned around and Chris's fist made contact with his face. Chris attacked him with all his rage. Causing him to fall to the ground. Chris was down on his knees gasping for breath. The old man stood back up and smiled.
" Get him" he said to the other 2. They nodded to each other and attacked Chris 2 on 1, they pinned him to the wall and both took shots at him, punching him in the face and stomach. Chris growled, he didnt care about his pain. He had to do everything in his power to protect Dana and nothing was gonna stop him. The father walked back over to dana who was still laying on the ground.
" Worthless slut, just like your mother" He said.
" Dont talk about...Mother like that" Dana said.
" Dont you dare talk back to me" The old man said as he picked her up by the throat.
" I told you too leave her alone, you bring this on your self" Chris elbowed 1 of the old guys in the back of the head causing him to stumble, Chris caught a punch from the other guy and returned with a pick to his stomach then he tossed him aside. Chris ran over to the father with all his rage. You could allmost see his fire burning in his hand. The man turned around and chris got him in the face, causing him to fly over the counter, landing on his head with a sick thud.
" Dana... I will protect...you" Chris fell to his knee's and crawled over to Dana, She was coughing up blood. Chris put his arm over her head and the two other guys came over and kicked Chris's sides repeatidly. Chris gasped for breath and joey finall y got back up but was woozy from the beating he got.
meanwhile outside of Mcdonalds...
A black limo pulled up and Kiaba got out. A angry look on his face.
" Mokuba lets go" Kiaba said calling his brother, a small boy jumped out of the limo.
" Ok big brother" the racket inside caught Kiaba's attention, watching to old guys beat up on someone. He looked over to another figure struggling to stay on his feet. " Wheeler" Kiaba growled at himself and walked inside mokuba behind him. Joey got knocked down again and started to bleed a little.
Kiaba saw chris and growled at himself. " Im gonna hate myself for doing this" Kiaba stepped forward and saw the three men together. " All right boys thats enough"
The three stopped beating on Chris and turned to Kiaba. They all smiled.
" Well well, if it isnt the CEO of Kiaba corp himself" the father said as the others laughed. " Get him" the two men ran for Kaiba but he was ready. Kiaba punched the two men and through them both through the window. The father turned to see his two little buddies gone. " You will pay for this" The father growled then took off out the door. Mokuba walked over to see Chris Joey and Dana laying on the ground. Joey slowly sat up, Chris did two with dana in his arms.
" No...Dana" Chris saw Dana starting to breath and sat up. " Dont worry, he will got whats coming to him"
Chris said wrapping his arms around her.
" No... Chris, its better to just leave him alone" Dana said slowly standing to her feet. Chris helped her stand up.
"I cant belive he treats you like this" Chris said closing his eyes and tears fell down. He quickly opened them back up and saw Kiaba standing there.
" Kaiba" Chris questioned watching the ceo with crossed arms " Thanks" Chris said, he looked over to Joey who was starting to stand up, he wiped himself off and walked over to Chris.
" Hey you ok Chris" Joey asked as he nodded
" Yeah im fine, Dana you ok" Chris asked as she nodded.
" Yeah im ok" Dana said as blood dripped down from her lip. Chris wiped it away with his finger and smiled.
" Whats rich boy doing here" Joey asked as Kaiba glared at him..
" Saving your ass" Kiaba said sarcasticly.
Just then sargent and the others finally appeared and ran over to Chris,
" Whoa, what the hell happened" Dave asked looking at Chris.
" Ran into Dana's father" Chris growled.
" Are you guys ok" John asked as Chris and Dana nodded. Chris looked at his watch. It was 7:15.
" Hey guys we gotta get moving" the others left so it was just Chris and Kaiba standing there.
Kiaba shot Chris a cold glare " Chris, I might have helped you this time, but dont think that it will change anything between us" Kiaba said with a annoyed look.
" Again I say thanks Kaiba, now I need to get going, I suggest you do the same" Chris calmy walked out and Kiaba continued to glare.
" Wonder if he knows" Kiaba asked going up to the counter.
Chris got in the car along with Dana and Joey and took off out of the parking lot.
" Chris" Dana asked as he looked over to her " I want to thank you"
" For what" he questioned.
" For saving me back there, if you werent there i might have been beaten up worse" Dana's hand went to her check from the slap her father gave her. " You didnt have to get yourself involved but you did" Chris shot a smile over to her. " Why" she asked
" Because I love you Dana, I wont let anyone hurt you" Chris said while Dana was looking out the window and closed her eyes. Joey felt left out of the conversation.
" So, what did happen to your mom" Joey asked. Dana sighed.
" She moved away from us, she couldnt stand to be in my fathers grip anymore so she packed up one day and didnt say anything and she left" Dana said as Joey leaned forward in his seat.
" You ever hear from here again" Chris asked, she didnt answer.
" Sorry, but I dont wanna talk about this anymore" said Dana as all three agreed with her. The rest of the trip was quiet. Chris pulled up to the school. all three of them got out, chris took dana's hand and began to walk slowly towards the school. Dana looked over to chris and he looked at her.
" Im sorry about my dad" she said finally. chris smiled.
" No dont be, you dont have to protect him like that anymore, your staying with me now" Chris said as Dana looked up at his sapphire eyes.
" But what about your mom" She asked
" Dont worry about her, she will understand" we walked up to the school and walked in, hearing the sound of racket balls hitting the wall in the gym. Chris took a look inside seeing other people playing.
" I just remembered you and I have a game to play 3rd period for gym" Dana said as chris nodded
" Yeah well beat them, but im more concerned about you, are you ok now" Chris asked her as they both walked into the gym. Mutiple people were staring at them, mostly because of the bruises they got. Chris with that huge cut across his head and dana with a small cut on her cheek.
" Im fine now, im trying to forget all about it" she wanted to let go of the thought of her father but something inside of her wouldnt let go. " We got 10 minutes, wanna play some racket ball" She asked.
Chris was bothered by the way she was so calm, maybe he should drop the thought of the beating too, he thought to himself. Chris's frown turned into a smile with a nod.
" Sure lets play" Chris got a pair of rackets and google's and gave 1 of each to Dana, luckily a game was just being finished up.
" Allright who's our next victims" A voice yelled as Chris stepped up.
" Me and Dana will take you guys on" Chris said putting the googles on his head.
" Very well Evertsen, your on" the kid replied with a cocky smile on his face. That smile made Chris angry. He always did hate people who were too confident, but Chris remained calm.
" Lets do this" Chris yelled. " Well let you guys serve first" Chris said as they both laughed. Dana took her spot next to chris and readyed herself. The kid served and it went straight for Chris, he got himself in a perfect spot to kill shot the ball, with raw power, he killed the ball making a loud thud against the wall.
" Lost serve" another kid yelled as Dana smiled. The kid tossed the ball to Chris and he caught it. He walked over to Dana.
" You wanna serve first" Chris asked her as she nodded. " Ok, remember dont get angry like last time" Chris let out a small laugh.
" Come on lets go" a voice said. Dana nodded again and kissed Chris on the cheek and started to turn all red. Chris walked to the otherside and dana served it high. The bell rang.
" Ah dammit" Chris cursed, everyone put there rackets up and left the gym. Dana smiled and walked over to Chris.
" Oh well, those two are in our gym class third period so well get em then" Dana said as she kissed Chris on the lips and left.
" I'll see you at third period" Chris yelled as Dana walked off. Chris walked upstairs and into his first period ecology class. Everyone gasped as he entered the room. " What" Chris asked them all. They were all looking at his forehead. " Oh the cut" Chris thought to himself.
" Thats a nice scratch on your head man, the hell happened to you" a kid said. "Couldnt tell them i got beat up " He thought to himself.
" Hurt myself leaving school yesterday" Chris said swiftly, he took his seat next to Joey. Chris sighed and looked down to his lap.
" Something wrong man" Joey asked in concern.
" Just worried about Dana" Chris said with a deepend voice. The period flew by fast and soon it was third period. Chris walked down to the gym and met up with Dana.
" Hey Dana" Chris said, she didnt say anything, She just stood there saying nothing. " Dana", no response
" Huh, oh sorry"
" You were thinking about your dad again werent you" Chris asked her, she looked up into his eyes.
" Yeah, its so hard not to think about him" Chris kissed her gently on the lips and lost her train of thought. he pulled away from her and smiled to her.
" Well dont, you dont have to care for him anymore" Chris looked deep into her eyes and lost himself in them .
" Yeah but I cant stop feeling hes not gonna stop coming after me" Dana said with tears streaming down her face. Chris rubbed them away with his thumb and smiled.
" If he does come after you, hell have to deal with me" Dana was silent " Now go get changed we got a match coming up" Dana walked to the other side of the gym.
They both won there game and soon it was lunch time, time for our little chat. Everyone sat quietly eating there lunch for the first five minutes. Sargent cleared his throat and everyone turned to him.
" Now , its time to finish our little talk we were having on the phone, now it seems that dave john chris and me, have had a encounter with some sort of dark figure, well this is what our figure said, he said that they were gonna claim the soul of both chris and kiaba then the town would be ripped apart and ruled by this master guy" Chris clenched his fist.
" His name is Legion" Chris said angerly. Everyone turned to him.
" Well it wasnt exactly a encounter but it was a dream, I was at this werid temple and these guys in black hoods, they were chanting something and then this Legion guy comes out and says that hes sending his hunters to get us" Chris pounded his fist on the table, Joey put his hands on the table.
" How long we got until they show" Joey asked.
" We got a week until they show" Chris said and everyone gasped. " 2 weeks at the most"
" Thats barely enough time for us to get ready for em" John said " Dammit"
Dana was lost in thought, she was thinking about last night when that dark figure came to her and told her about Maria. " Who is this Maria? Who are the servants? Who am i" she asked herself over and over. She wasn't paying attention to what was going on at the table, she was in a trance of her own.
"Were gonna need some help on this" Dave said, Chris sparked a idea but dont know if it would work or not.
" Kiaba..." Chris said allowed. " I dont know if hell help us or not"
" Its worth a try, Kiaba is the second top rank duelist in the world, only second to Chris" Sargent said as Chris gave him a cold stare.
" I could care less about that dam title, I got more important things too worry about now, like these hunters for example" Chris looked over to Dana who was still in her trance like state. " Dana, you ok" her arms were crossed and she was staring under the table. She snapped out of her trance like state and started looking around the table.
" Sorry was just thinking about something" she said nervously. Chris sighed, he was too worried about her, he thought he was gonna worry himself to death.
" Its no problem Dana, remember we have 1 week to prepare, and dont worry about Kaiba, ill persuade him somehow" Chris said as the bell rang. The school day was over fast and chris met Dana downstairs by the gym, Joey was there too.
" Hey Chris, mind if I go over to your house for a bit, im kinda bored anyway" Joey asked.
" Sure I dont mind" " Dammit, there goes my chance for being alone with Dana" Chris thought to himself. All three walked outside, got in the car and drove off. All of them were quiet until they heard a cell phone go off, it was Chris's.
" Dammit" He cursed picking up the phone.
" Hello... oh hi mom... yeah were fine, im on my way home and im bringing Joey and Dana with me, that ok?...k thanks mom" Dana looked over to Chris and whispered somwthing to him.
"Ask her" She said.
" Listen mom we got a bit of a situation on our hands, we had a little encounter with dana's dad and well she told me she doesnt want to see her dad anymore... well uhhh, lets just say shes a bit stubburn... well she needs a place to stay for about a week so, is our place ok... ok cool, thanks mom" Chris hung up the phone and put it in his pocket.
" Well, what did she say" she asked.
" She said you can stay as long as you want" Chris said happily.
" Thanks Chris, your a real life savor" She said closing her eyes. Chris smiled.
" Hey dont worry about it, ill always look out for ya" Chris pulled into the driveway and parked the car. All three got out again and got inside the house. Chris grabbed a few soda's and they all sat out in the living room watching t.v. for a bit. Dana fell asleep in chris's arms, Joey was napping on the coach.
" Hey Joe" Chris asked.
" Yeah"
" Just to let you know, my mom is lettin you stay over too so you dont need a ride after all".
" Hey thanks Chris" Joey got up and used the bathroom.
4 hours later it was bed time. Chris was finishing up a game of everquest. Saying bye to everyone online. Dana sitting by his side.
" I'll go brush my teeth" Dana said as Chris turned off his game.
" Ok" he replied. She left the room and Chris switched to a pair of sweat pants and a long sleeve shirt. Joey walked by the hall going to the room across from Chris's.
" Night joe" Chris said.
" Night Chris" Joey said walking in the room closing the door. Chris set down his duel disk and deck on the desk next to him. Chris sighed, remembering his dream. " I'll need everyone's help, even Kaiba's" Chris said to himself. Dana walked back into the room and saw Chris leaning on the desk, growling at himself.
" Something wrong Chris" her sweet low pitched voice got Chris's attention.
" Been thinking about Legion all day, and...you" Chris said hesitant with the last part of his sentence.
" Ive been worried about you too" she said and Chris looked confused. He walked over to her, staring into her blue eyes, and she looking into his sapphire eyes. tears ran down her cheek and Chris watched them fall to the ground. Chris grabbed Dana's shoulders and looked deeper into her eyes.
" Whats wrong" Chris asked her rubbing tears from her eyes.
" Its just that" her eyes started to swell " After today, you know my dad is going to come after you, the next time you meet him, he might kill you, and after hes done with you he will" Dana paused and Chris inturuppted.
" Thats never going to happen, he wont get any where near us, and if he does he wont make it past me, dont worry about him, you wont be seeing him any time soon, and from what kiaba did to him earlier i dought hell try anything soon, if anything hed get revenge on Kiaba" Chris said as he rubbed tears form her eyes.
" Chris, I love you and I dont wanna see anything happen to you" Dana said as Chris got closer to her. He put his hands on her cheeks and moved closer to her lips.
" Dana, I love you too, with all my heart" Chris kissed her gently on her lips and wrapped his hands around her waist. They both closed there eyes and she put her hands around his neck. Dana and Chris backed up and Dana gasped as she tripped over something and she fell down on her back, it was the bed. Chris got on top of her panting form and began to kiss her neck. She moaned quietly as Chris's mouth went slowly down her neck, sending chivers down her spine. She wrapped her hands around his waist and started moving her hands up and down on his sides. Chris stopped kissing her neck and moved to her lips and started to fill her mouth with his tougue. She didnt resist it, but she welcomed it. Chris moved his hands to her sides and started to masage her sides. She moaned and began to breath heavily. Chris's tougue was still in her mouth and chris pulled away from her mouth. He looked into her eyes and she did the same.
" I love you Dana" Chris said running a hand through her hair. The tears in her eyes were gone and she was letting her pain go away as he continued back on her neck. She moaned again loudly, Chris didnt care about how loud it was, all he cared about was her.
Joey opened his eyes and heard the moans from someone next door. Joey smiled in his mind and rolled to his side. " Those two really are in love" Joey said and closed his eyes again.
Chris moved his hands back to her waist and moved them up and down, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed against him. His mouth went back to hers as she moaned again. His hands left her sides and slowly made there way up Dana's shirt. Dana felt her eyes swell up with tears again and started to remember a bad memmory of her father, abusing her one night, then he took it a step further and started to rape her. The memory faded with tears streaming down her cheek.
" Please...dont" Dana pleaded and Chris removed his hand from her shirt and got off of her. She started to breath heavily as her heart rate went back down to normal.
"Dana, im sorry" Chris said mentally kicking himself again. " I wont force you to do anything"
Dana sat up gripping her chest as if she tried to grab her heart and pull it out. She felt herself melt right there, she looked up to chris who was still looking into her eyes.
" sorry Chris, its just that...another painfull memory" she burst into tears and fell into his arms. He hugged her and started to wrap some of her hair around his finger.
" Its ok, I understand, its hard to let go of painfull memorys, I should know" Chris said as Dana pulled herself away. She laid down on the bed and slowly closed her eyes. " Good night" Chris whispered in her ear as he turned off the lights and got in the bed. Covering themselves with sheets and Chris went to sleep.
