Chapter 18

Ok, I would be doing a special thank notice about this time, but damn, with the reviews I have been getting, it would be way to long winded, so here, I thank everyone who read, and once again, a special thank to my beta Astalder, who even after she fixes the mistakes in my fic, still takes the time to read and review the story.

Jou's blank eyes stared at his father from where he was sitting, on the arm of Pegasus, who had both hands flitting across his body with lustful strokes.

"I see you had no problem taming my boy Pegasus."

Pegasus grinned sadistically. "Let's put his memory to test, shall we. Katsuya." Black eyes stared at him. "who is this man?"

"Another of your many followers master Pegasus?" The emotionless boy asked.

"No no Jou-Boy. He happens to be your father." Pegasus laughed, this was to good to be true.

"Father, father? I have a father?"

"Yes my boy. He is him. And you will never have to see him again."

"Nani?" Mendou asked, looking up at Pegasus. "You haven't paid me my second half yet. I will not leave until you pay me."

"Jounouchi Katsuya. Hear my order and obey." In an instant Jou was kneeling before Pegasus. "Kill the men behind you this instant."

Both Mendou and Ataru looked up at him, as well as three of Pegasus' men. "Nani?" One asked, before his throat was split and his blood drained to the ground, the other tow met the same similar fate. Jou had a bloody knife in hand as he turned to Mendou and Ataru, wings flexing wildly. He smiled a sadistic smile. "Time to die."

Mendou backed away form his demonic son, fear evident in his eyes, and was radiating from his body. Jou licked the knife before plunging it into Mendou's heart. He gave a gurgling cry before slumping forward. Jou dropped the motionless body and advanced on Ataru before. "That is enough my boy!" Ataru let out a fearful sigh as his knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground, thankful to still be alive. A bundle of money landed in front of his face. "Take your payment and leave this place immediately." Ataru did as he was told.

Seto started the engine of his helicopter, with everyone piled inside. Everyone being Yugi, Yami, Bakura, Ryou, Malik, Marik ,and of course, Mokuba and Shirundou Mikata. "Mikata. Are you absolutely certain about this? Are you sure you cannot sense his life anywhere."

Mikata's eyes were sad as she looked at Yami. "His life force is gone. I cannot feel my son at all."

"Are you saying Pegasus killed him?" Ryou asked worriedly.

"I refuse to think the worst. But he may not have killed the physical body."

"Then what happened?"

"He broke his spirit." Seto spoke as they flew across an open ocean. "I have seen it happen with him already. Each bit of pain causes his wings to get darker. Which causes his spirit to ebb away. If we cannot sense him, it mean that either Jou is dead, or his spirit is no longer his."

Finally seeing the island come into sight he landed the helicopter on the ground and started towards the castle, others in tow. "This is taking to long." Mikata growled as she flew in the air, chanting something into her hands. A bubble appeared around Seto and the others and moved at a great pace towards the castle. "Welcome to Pegasus' keep." Mikata said as the landed inside of a dank, dark, hallway.

"I am not asking what the hell that was or how you did that." Bakura said, eyes closed.

"It was an energy sphere, allowing me to transport you here, I only had to use my energy to make it." Mikata answered him simply.

"I said I was not going to ask, which meant for you to not answer me." Bakura said, slowly opening his eyes. "You have to be Jou's mother, you two act exactly alike. Oblivious to everything, even sarcasm."

"Let's just find Jou." Seto growled as he walked through the hallway. "Mikata, do you know where Pegasus's room is?"

"Straight ahead I believe."

They burst into a heavily lit room, squinting their eyes since the light was so bright. After regaining his sight, Seto looked across the room to see Pegasus grinning, and a blonde man standing in front of him, wings black, leather pants, and emotionless eyes.

"Jou?"
