I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh but Victoria is mine. Thank you to The Rave Raven and ohkamimajin for reviewing. Reviews are welcome, flames mean more s'mores! Warning: Rape and mention of yaoi.

The sun's morning rays warmed my face. Slowly, I opened my eyes before closing them, praying that last night didn't happen. Finally, I got the courage to open them. What I saw made me sick.

I was lying naked on my bed. All of the sheets had been torn off the bed and there was blood in between my legs. The rest of the room was in shambles, clothes and pieces of furniture everywhere.

Groaning, I closed my eyes again. Then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" I yelled, my eyes opened, glaring at the door.

"It's me." Jou's voice came from the other side of the door.

"Come in." I said, pulling some of the sheets off the floor on top of me.

Jou entered and he went pale when he saw me. He rushed over to my bed and looked me in the eye.

"Are you alright Victoria?" He asked, looking at my face.

"No." I replied, avoiding his eyes.

"What happened?"

"That bastard Seto."

"He didn't."

"Who else would?"

"You're being irrational."

"Jou." I finally looked into his eyes, tears starting to form in my eyes.

"My God." He whispered.

"I need to get out of here Jou." Tears were starting to fall freely.

"I can't, Seto would-"

"He raped me Jou. I can't stay here."

"You're his wife."

"Damn it Jou." I stood up, enraged. "You're no better than he is."

"Victoria."

"Just go." I turned away from him, too angry to even look at him.

Jou sighed and I heard him get up and leave. Sighing, I looked out the glass windows. Then I made the decision. I'm leaving.

As quickly as I could, I put on clothes and grabbed a bag. It took me very little time to pack my few belongings. Most of the stuff in my room belonged to Seto so I decided that it would be fit to leave him what was his: the clothes that belonged to his "wife." When I finished with my stuff, I pulled the mattress off the bed and took the money I had hidden under there. It wasn't much, 5000, but it was enough for me to get a room for a while.

Slowly, I crept out of the house and headed down the long driveway. When I met the fence, I threw my bag over and climbed a tree before jumping over to the other side. Grabbing my bag, I started down the road, toward town.

I sat under a tree by the side of the road, taking a break from walking. It had been about three hours since I left the Kaiba Mansion and I still hadn't reached town yet. The whole thing was starting to creep me out. I should've been there by now.

Sighing, I rested my head on the tree, closing my eyes and trying to rest. I hadn't brought food and now I was starting to regret it. The kitchens were on the other side of the house and it was very likely that I would have been seen by someone. My stomach rumbled and I groaned.

Damn this sucks. Now I have no where to go. Oh well, no where is better than back there. Seto is getting what he deserves…Seto… Shit, he must have found out I'm gone by now. I need to get moving if I don't want him to find me.

With more energy now, I got up, threw my bag over my shoulder, and continued down the road. As I walked, I noticed a black limousine coming down the road behind me. I decided to ignore it, not knowing who it was and figuring that Seto wouldn't have come this way. I continued walking; not paying any attention to the limo when I realized that it didn't speed up and pass me. Instead it slowed down and the window rolled down, as if the passenger wanted to talk to me.

"Mrs. Kaiba?" I recognized the voice and stopped, looking in to the limo.

"Mr. Pegasus." I gasped.

"What are you doing out here?" He asked a look of bewilderment on my face.

"It's a long story." I replied.

"Let me give you a ride to town."

"Thank you but that is alright."

"Alright then." He said, but instead of driving away like I thought he would, he got out and looked at the driver. "Drive home, I'll call you when I want you to pick me up."

"Yes Mr. Pegasus." The driver responded, driving away and leaving the two of us there on the side of the road.

"I could never leave a woman alone on the side of the road." He smiled at the look on my face.

"Well thank you."

"So." We started walking down the road toward town. "What brings you to these dusty roads? I would have thought that Kaiba boy would provide something for his wife to get to town."

"He doesn't know I'm here."

"What do you mean?"

"You know what," I stopped and turned to him. "Thank you so much for walking with me but I do need to go."

I turned back toward the road and started away from him.

"Wait a minute." He grabbed my arm.

I let out a yelp and pulled my arm from his grasp. He didn't let go, but loosened his grip. There was a questioning look in his eyes but I avoided his gaze.

"Please let me go." I whispered.

Then, I felt the sleeve of my shirt being pulled up. I cringed when I felt him run his fingers along the bruises. He let go of my arm and suddenly, pulled me into him.

"What happened to you?" His voice was barely a whisper in my ear.

"Please." I pushed away from him and he let go.

Tears were starting to form at the corners of my eyes but I quickly brushed them away. Pegasus gently lifted my chin so that I was looking in his eyes. I could see true kindness in his eyes.

"You don't have to tell me what happened." He said, brushing some tears off my cheek.

"I'm sorry." I tried to look away but he held my chin so that I had to look up at him.

"Just tell me who did this to you."

"I can't."

"They should go to jail."

"You don't understand."

The both of us were silent for a second and he finally let go of my chin. I looked down at the ground, not knowing what to do.

"Where are you headed?" Pegasus broke the silence.

"Far away from here." I said, looking toward the horizon.

"You can stay with me for a while." He suggested.

"Alright."
