I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters and plots.

However the following characters (their powers and such) used in this fan fiction ARE mine:

Lady Aurora Phoenix

Lady Natara Fear

Lady Sapphira Star

Blaze

Chaos

Havoc

As you can see, sometimes good intentions can lead to bad results... Akunadin and Isis learned that lesson the hard way...

Well if you read this far then thank you. If not... well then I guess I am just doing this for my own sake and no one else's... But it is all good either way... Now to continue...


Good Intentions, Bad Results

Atem had almost reached Lady Phoenix's room when he heard the scream. His heart leapt to his throat and he raced forward, getting there just in time to see her land on her knees before falling to the ground, unconscious. Quickly, he rushed to her. He knelt beside her and lifted the upper part of her limp body into his arms to cradle her near his chest. He looked up at Isis and Akunadin with a mixture of emotions in his cat-like crimson eyes.

"What happened here?" he demanded. Isis looked over at Akunadin.

"We were only looking out for your safety, my Pharaoh." Akunadin answered.

"How so?" Atem's eyes grew dark with anger.

"I asked Akunadin to look into her mind to be sure she was being honest with us. I had no idea this would happen, please believe me, my Pharaoh," Isis answered.

"Just what did happen?"

"I merely peered into her mind to seek the truth. I sensed a violent power beginning to overwhelm her but after verifying her words to be truth I retreated. Almost immediately she acted as if she were in pain and then she just..." Akunadin motioned to where Lady Phoenix rested in Atem's arms. Shouts were heard coming from down the hall.

"Aurora!" three voices exclaimed. They rounded the corner of the hall and stopped dead in their tracks at the sight of their friend unconscious in Atem's arms.

"Someone better tell us what happened, and soon." Havoc's voice was dark with fury.

"Who did this to her?" Lady Fear asked.

"We are not sure exactly what happened," Atem answered. Lady Star noticed the look of fear on his face and looked harder at him as he stared down at the limp figure he cradled.

"There was a force within her that seemed to come out of no where," Akunadin said. "She grabbed her head and screamed and then she just fell." The group of friends looked at each other.

"She had one of those visions," Lady Star said with a sigh.

"What do you mean?" Atem looked up at them, confusion in his eyes.

"There are some visions that can come to her that are stronger than she can handle," Lady Fear explained. "They are painful to her and can result in a blackout." Atem looked down at Lady Phoenix.

What was this vision? He thought. What was so horrible it caused you to collapse like this? He waited and received no response. Swiftly he scooped her up into his arms and stood.

"Akunadin, open her door." The priest nodded and opened the door to Lady Phoenix's bedroom. Gently, Atem went in and laid her down on her bed and brushed her hair away from her face. Lady Fear and Lady Star cast amused glances at each other, but saw the cold look on Havoc's face. Lady Fear placed a hand on his arm which forced his attention to her instead of Atem.

Let it go, Bryant. She is free to move on if she wishes. It is obvious he cares deeply for her. Please, just let it go, she begged him.

In time maybe, he responded. It is just too soon...

Too soon for whom, Bryant? She asked him. For her. Or for you. Reno is dead. He will not come back. We can only remember him. They were married one day before his death. She still loves him, we all know that, but we are in a new place, and a new start may be what we all need. Havoc looked hard at her for a moment before turning and leaving the room. Lady Fear followed him hoping to talk some sense into him. Lady Star remained and watched as Atem gazed down at Lady Phoenix.

"She will be all ok, right?" he asked her suddenly. She nodded.

"Yes, Pharaoh, she will be fine. She will only need her rest. Hopefully she will remember this vision and be able to tell us when she wakes. In the mean time," She reached forward and lightly took his arm to lead him away and outside the room. "Just let her sleep. We will watch over her. If she awakes in time for dinner then we will join you as mentioned earlier."

"And if she does not?"

"We will deal with that when the time comes," was all she said as they shut the door and continued down the hall.


Seems Atem may have some help in the form of Lady Star and Lady Fear when it comes to handling the guys and how they feel about the possible union between Lady Phoenix and himself. Guess we will have to see how that turns out then won't we...
