I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh but Victoria is mine. Thank you to Nina wyndia for reviewing. Reviews are welcome, flames mean more s'mores! Warning: Rape

Everything around me was blurry and I felt really tired. There was a dull ache all over my body. I felt as if I'd just been hit by a truck. Voices were echoing around me.

"Are you alright Victoria?"

"This baby better be healthy or you will regret it."

"Mrs. Kaiba, please speak to us."

"We need to get the baby out now."

"She's dying."

"Tell the father it's a girl and that her mommy isn't doing well."

Slowly, everything became clear and I groaned. I was in a hospital room, lying in a hospital bed. Then I noticed Jou in a chair next to the bed. He seemed to be sleeping. My throat was parched but he looked so peaceful that I didn't want to wake him. Slowly, the rays of the sun shone on his face and he began to stir.

"I'm glad you're awake." Jou yawned. "The doctors were worried, said you didn't do as well as they hoped."

"I feel like I've been hit by a truck." I moaned, resting my head against the pillow. "What happened?"

"You passed out during the labor. They had to take you in for an emergency c-section."

"How's the baby?"

"She's fine. Seto said that you could name her."

"He's so generous." I muttered.

Then there was a knock on the door. A nurse came in pushing a little cart. On top was a little basinet. I sat up straighter.

"I'm glad you're awake Mrs. Kaiba." The nurse said. "This is your beautiful little girl. Have you picked out a name yet?"

"Not yet, no." I said, taking the little girl as she handed her to me.

"Alright then, I'll leave you alone." She smiled before leaving the room.

I looked down at my little girl. An overwhelming feeling of love filled me as I looked at this little girl. She had little wisps of golden hair, like mine. Her eyes were her most surprising feature. One was blue while the other was brown. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it.

Maybe… Maybe she's Maximillion's daughter. Then again, my father had brown eyes so who knows.

I sighed before looking down at her again. Then I looked up at Jou.

"I think I know what I want to name her. Celestyn." I said smiling.

"That's a nice name." Jou smiled and moved closer. "What does it mean?"

"Heaven, it means heaven." I smiled at my little girl. "A little bit of heaven in my eternal hell."


I smiled as I watch Celestyn sleep in her cradle. She was barely two weeks old and I couldn't imagine life without her. It seemed as if she always needed something and that was a welcoming distraction from Seto's planning of her future. He thought that by age fifteen she would own her own company, like he did.

I would never let that happen to my little girl. She was the only thing keeping me sane. Seto had told me that we were flying to Paris to over see a dueling tournament. Obviously I was to come along with Celestyn or Heaven as I called her, to be shown off to the press.

Sighing, I made my way over to my dresser. We were leaving in the morning, and being the procrastinator I am, I left packing to the last minute. Slowly, I dragged my suitcase out of the closet and heaved it onto my bed. Slowly, I put all of Heaven's and my clothes in the bag.

A few hours later I finished and looked back in the cradle. Heaven was still sleeping. A smile came over my face and I watched her. I loved her innocence, how everything in her world was right. How I envy her.

"Sleep well Heaven." I whispered. "Let your dreams take you to a land of magic and wonder."


"Do not let anyone see you come in or out of the room." Seto growled as he handed me a key.

"Don't worry." I sighed. "Not like you'll let me go out anyway."

"Get in there bitch."

Sighing, I carried Heaven into our room in one of Paris's finest hotels. Of course, Seto and Jou's room was a suite while I got stuck in a third rate room with barely any room. I motioned for one of the goons to put the bags down and get out. Slowly, I lowered Heaven into her crib and started unpacking. We were staying for a week and it promised to be extremely boring.

As I finished up, I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." I said.

"Hey Victoria." Jou opened the door. "Seto said that you need to be ready for the opening ceremony in a few hours."

"We just got off the fucking plane." I groaned, plopping down on the bed.

"He also said that you're going to the ball planned for afterward."

"Fuck him." I growled.

"See you there." His tone was a little too cheery.

I growled and threw a pillow at him as he closed the door before getting ready for the ceremony.


As expected, the ceremony was boring. Heaven was asleep the whole time. Seto had let me run back to the hotel to get changed before going to the ball. It promised to be equally boring. I'd heard rumors during the ceremony that someone was going to ask me to dance.

I was born and raised in England, but when I was fourteen, I spent three years in the French Antilles. There I learned about the culture and they taught me a few dances. When I married Seto, people somehow found out and I've been asked to dance many times, but I'd always declined. This time, however, I don't think I'm going to be as lucky.

Upon reaching the ball, Seto took my arm and led me away from all of the gossipers. He took me into a secluded corner and pinned me against the wall.

"Do not dance tonight." His voice dripped with venom.

"I'll try not to." I sighed. "Don't think I want to any more than you want me to."

"I do not want the tabloids to think that my wife is a freak."

"Alright." I sighed before breaking away from him.

I wandered the hall aimlessly for a while before coming across a business mogul and his wife. They were Mr. and Mrs. James Thorpe IV, owners of Thorpe Industries. Mrs. Thorpe was very snotty and had always tried to make me dance. This time, when she saw me, I could get away.

"You who!" She smirked when she saw me. "It has been such a long time Victoria."

"Mrs. Thorpe." I smiled, trying to be polite. "It is good to see you again."

"My dear, I heard that you were going to dance tonight."

"I don't believe so. I just had a little girl last week and I'm kind of tired."

"I have heard that you are incredible healer with those peasant remedies, and a dancer as well." By this time, people were starting to stare. "Will you dance for us? Please don't say no."

A lot of people had gathered around us and I groaned. They were all looking at me curiously. Sighing, I pulled off my high heeled shoes and walked into the center of the circle. The conductor started playing and I started walking around, looking at people, not really wanting to dance. I heard snickers behind me and decided to face the music.

Closing my eyes, I imagined the sound of the ritual music from the islands.

We dance…. We dance…. We dance!

When my dance was done, everyone crowded around me. They were all telling me how magnificent I looked. I smiled and then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Maximillion. My heart skipped a beat and I looked over again. He wasn't there. Then, I saw him again, he was moving toward the exit.

"Victoria." Seto grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the crowd. "I thought I told you not to dance."

"I tried not to…" I began as he pinned me against a wall.

"Quiet." He slapped me. "Now, go back to the hotel. I'm going to do some damage control."

With that, he left me for the press who were starting to make some noise. I stood there for a moment before moving toward where I had seen Maximillion exit. As I moved toward the door, I saw many guards.

Taking a deep breath, I walked through the doorway. Surprisingly, they all let me pass. Finally, I got to a door at the end of the hall. Two men stood outside, for some reason they reminded me of F.B.I. from America.

"Look," One of them smirked. "It's the peasant dancer."

"Dance for us now peasant." The other taunted.

"I am Madame Kaiba." I growled. "And I need to see Mr. Pegasus."

"He's busy at the moment." The first one leaned closer to me. "But we're not."

"Do you not know who I am?" I threatened.

"Who are you?" The second one moved behind me.

"I am Madame Victoria Kaiba, the wife of Seto Kaiba. My family is one of the richest in England. Let me pass."

"No."

With that, I felt the second man grab me from behind. He threw me over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes. The other man laughed.

"Next time don't even bother coming witch doctor." He smiled.

"Let me go!" I pounded on the second man's back as he carried me down the hall.

"I'll let you go." He said, opening a door. "Out on to the streets."

He threw me on to the ground and closed the door behind him. My eyes narrowed as I looked at the door. Then, I noticed it was raining.

"Shit." I mumbled, trying to get under cover.

Seto is going to know I didn't go home. I thought as I got under an overhang. This sucks.

Sighing, I finally gave up and started running, trying to find a place to stay until the rain stopped. I saw a huge stone structure in front of me and hurried to get inside. As I opened the doors, my jaw dropped.

"Welcome to Notre Dame." Someone said behind me.

I spun around. Behind me was a middle aged man in priest robes. He had short brown hair with flecks of silver in it. His face was worn by many years.

"You are a traveler." He nodded toward my clothes.

"Not really." I replied, relaxing a little. "I just needed to find a place to get out of the rain."

"In any case, I cannot allow a young woman like you to stand shivering at the doorstep of my cathedral."

"Your cathedral?"

"I am Father Augustine, a tour guide for this cathedral. And you are?"

"Victoria."

"Come, come."

He led me to one of the back rooms. The room itself was dark, lighted only by a few candles. Father Augustine put a blanket over my shoulders and I smiled.

"So what is a beautiful young woman like you doing out this late at night?" He asked as he sat down across from me.

"It's a very long story." I looked at the ground.

"It has to do with love, doesn't it?"

"How did you?"

"The look on your face when you came in. What of your love troubles you?"

"It's very complicated, far from the realm of the church."

"Oh?"

"By the rules of the church, I have sinned. I won't say how or why, but I know that I am the happiest sinner of all."

"You have sinned with your true love, and the one who has power over you doesn't know?"

"Yes. I'm married but my husband isn't anything of what I thought he would be. He only wanted to get married to look good in the public eye. About ten months ago I fell in love and…"

"Love will always endure."

"What?" I was curious.

"Love can conquer fear; it can cross rivers and mountains. Love can even conquer death. If you truly love him, tell him. Tell him before it is too late. Go, he is going to a mansion on the outer edges of Paris. If you hurry, you might get there before him."

"How?"

"Just go Victoria."

I took one last look at the strange man and hurried out of the cathedral. The rain was still coming down, but I paid it no heed. As fast as I could, I ran; to where, I didn't know; only knowing that my heart would take me to Maximillion.


It was still pouring as I came to the gates of a grand mansion. On one of the outer walls, it said Pegasus Mansion. There was only one entrance and I hurried towards it. No guards stood at the entrance, only a transmitter.

"I am Mademoiselle Victoria." I began, trembling. "I was the one who danced at the ball. Tell Mr. Pegasus that I am here."

"I'm sorry Miss, but Mr. Pegasus isn't seeing anyone." A voice came from the box.

"Tell him," tears started to fall. "Tell him I'm here. Tell him Victoria is waiting for him at the gate. Tell him Victoria is waiting."

I slowly fell to my knees, tears now flowing freely. A click came from the voice box and I lost it.

"Heaven," I whispered, leaning against one of the pillars. "My dear Heaven. Your father is gone. We're alone my little girl. Just the two of us in Satan's lair."


"Don't you dare wander off again, bitch." Seto's fist collided with the side of my face.

I fell to the floor. My dress was starting to rip and I could feel blood trickling down my cheek. Looking up, I glared at him. He responded by kicking me full force in the stomach. A cry of pain escaped my lips as I curled up into a little ball.

"Seto." Jou protested, trying to get between the two of us.

"Stay out of this pup." Seto growled, pushing him out of the way. "Go back to our room and wait for me there."

"Bastard." I whispered, glaring at Jou who was closing the door behind him.

"Shut up bitch." Seto stomped on my shoulder and I felt something crack.

"Shit." I yelped, trying to move away from him.

"Don't you dare." He pulled me so that I was inches away from his face. "For all of the things you've done tonight, you will be punished."

Suddenly, he brought his lips to mine and kissed me. His tongue forced its way inside my mouth and I bit down hard on it. A gasp escaped his lips before I felt myself being thrown to the bed. Seto pounced on me and was only inches from my face.

"You will pay slut." He whispered dangerously before invading my mouth again.

Oh god, no, not again. Someone, help me. Please.


The sun was just starting to peak over the horizon and I sat against the wall, trying to forget last night. Seto had raped me many times before, but that was the worst. It had been a few hours but I was still shaking.

Just then, I heard Heaven cry. Putting aside my own feelings, I got up and looked into my baby's crib. A small smile crossed my face as I picked her up and held her to my chest. I walked over to the kitchen area and started making a bottle. Seto refused to let her have anything except a really expensive formal that had to be made a special way.

A few minutes later I sat on the edge of the bed, feeding Heaven.

"Look at us." I whispered to her. "We're here in a Paris, the city of Love, scared for our lives. I'm only twenty three and already a mother. Seto is treating me like shit and I'm going to let you grow up with this. We're getting out of this. But first, we need to find out who your father is."

With that, I kissed her on the forehead and looked out at the rising sun.

"That man at Notre Dame, he said love endures. I hope he's right."

A/N: I started this last night and just couldn't stop writing. There are some references to the musical Once on this Island, which I do not own. I hope everyone likes. Please review!
