They were enemies. They were so much alike than different though. Both were cold hearted, both were relentless, but were fueled by desire. They hated each other but they loved one thing. One person; Shizuka Jounouchi.

Chapter 4: Dark Visits

She's refused to leave her room. The girl just sits in the corner of her room staring outside her window. Eating, drinking, sleeping, she refused them all. All she wanted to do was go back to her own home and go back to her own life. Within twenty four hours Shizuka's face was all over the news stating that she was missing. The mutt was desperately asking for anyone to call for information concerning his little sister. The girl obviously saw the news because he could hear her shout out in anger and demanded to be released. She was no longer the quiet young lady he saw a few years back. The mutt obviously influenced her.

There was nothing he could do. He repeated to himself over and over again that he had no other choice.

"No cops. No FBI, no one. I have to do this his way." He had told Paula a day ago. She was consistent in finding another way to get back Mokuba. Shizuka hasn't been out of her room for two days now. There was no word from Pegasus.

Tonight he opened the door that lead to her bedroom from his. He hasn't seen her in a day and was curious if she was still sitting by the window. When he quietly entered the room he saw that she was not by the window. Instead she was sitting up on the end of her bed looking out the window. The moonlight showed her sad figure drowning her in blue light.

She didn't seem to notice him coming closer to her. She seemed lost in her own thoughts, her own world.

"Aren't you tired?" Gasping a little, she turned around to stare at him wide eyed. Just as quick as her scared face appeared, it disappeared only to be replaced with an angry frown.

"You'll be rid of me soon. Why do you care?" Kaiba looked away from her with a heavy frustrated sigh.

"I would think Pegasus would want to receive a healthy girl, not a sleep deprived, hungry child." Shizuka's hands shook in anger. "Why don't you just take it like a woman? Go to him and obey his wishes. It'll make it easier for you to just accept your fate." She was still wearing her jogging outfit. Paula had given her clothes that would fit her but Shizuka refused them all.

"Why don't you tell that to Mokuba?" She bitterly said as she stood up to get away from Kaiba. Only taking two steps forward, she was pulled back by the elbow.

"Don't you ever say that again!" He snarled in her face. "You better get used to being that mans slave because there is no doubt that you will be in his custody after I see that Mokuba is safe." Shaking him off of her, she stumbled back not knowing what to say. It was true, she was without a doubt going to be under Pegasus's control.

"Bastard." She whispered to no one. She backed up until she reached the dresser while Kaiba still stood by her bed. Tears formed in her eyes and tried to blink them away not wanting to show weakness. She had to be strong about this. She would not give anyone the satisfaction of crying. "Mokuba will find out about this exchange. Hell, Pegasus already probably told him. What are you going to say to Mokuba if he asks? When he finds out if he didn't already?"

"I will tell him I did what I had to." Turning around he walked away from her and went back to his room. A few seconds later a click was heard indicating that the door was locked. Once again she was alone in the dark. Plotting her escape.


Everywhere he looked he saw her face. Every one was looking for her. Shizuka Jounouchi. Paula asked him to reconsider giving Shizuka to Pegasus. Over and over again he would say that he would not. Shizuka was the trade.

"Would you like some mashed potatoes?" Paula asked Shizuka. Around dinner time Shizuka finally agreed to leave her room and eat in the dining room with Kaiba. Why she agreed, he didn't know but was secretly thankful that she did. Yesterday she spent all say in her room quiet as a mouse and it worried him. It made him feel bad. At least now she was out and dressed in one of the clothing Paula handed to her. She just wore simple jeans and a black tee-shirt with slippers.

"No, thank you." Shizuka even ate. She ate silently without looking at Kaiba but she ate nonetheless.

"Will you be silent for the whole dinner?" When she did not respond he nodded. "I see." Then he noticed that she stopped eating and was just holding her fork while looking at her food numbly. "I don't blame you." Softly he said making her head jerk up to look at him but he was not looking at her. Instead he was looking at his own food looking like he just lost his appetite.

Suddenly Paula yelled out startling Kaiba and Shizuka.

"How are you Pegasus-sama? Kaiba-sama is eating right now and wishes to not be disturbed." Paula sounded nervous. A few seconds later they both knew why.

"It's okay. I'm sure he won't mind seeing me. Oh, Kaiba-boy! Where are you?" Pegasus sounded like he was right in the next room. Obviously Pegasus just waltzed into Kaiba's home and was trying to find him. Pegasus saw the news. Pegasus knew.

Shizuka squeaked and stood up unsure if she should run now or stay still. Her food was untouched now and the water spilled from her sudden movement. Nervous was not the word for how she was feeling. It was petrified but she could not show it. She wouldn't dare. Not a tear would dare spill.

"Please let me just get him for you, you don't need to walk around to find him." Paula went on nervously.

"No, no. That's fine. You go ahead and rest, you seem so nervous. I wonder why that is?" Pegasus was getting nearer. If he walked in right now there was no telling what would happen.

In a hurry Kaiba stood up and grabbed a wide eyed Shizuka. As he shoved her in the kitchen next to the dining room a million things ran through her mind. Was tonight going to be the night? Will she see her brother again? Will Kaiba change his mind? Why did Kaiba take her out of the dining room? Kaiba then took her shoulder and shook her to get the fogginess out of her eyes. Once she was out of her trance she glared at him angry at him again for doing this to her.

"Do not say a word. Do not move. Stay right here. Paula will be coming shortly." He whispered. Letting go of her shoulders he left the kitchen and went back to the dining room. Paula came shortly after Kaiba left and held Shizuka's hand as they heard Pegasus enter the dining room.

"There you are. How is everything?" Pegasus asked casually.

"What do you want?" Kaiba roughly asked.

"Fine. To the point as usual. You know, it's sad that we can't have a nice conversation. It's always to the point." Losing his patients from the sudden visit, Kaiba slammed his hands on the dining table.

"What. Do. You. Want?" Kaiba stressed out each word. After Pegasus laughed heartedly he cleared his throat to continue.

"I've been watching the news. Pretty interesting development. I wonder. Did the girl runaway or did you kidnap her?" Kaiba tensed up, giving Pegasus his answer. "Where is she? Is she here?" He asked airily.

"Do not worry where I have her. Just know that I do." Pegasus scoffed and pouted.

"No. I want to see her for myself. Right now. I want to know if you have her. If not, then forget about your brother." He said with agitation in his voice. A few minutes later Kaiba stood up from his chair. Pegasus too sat up.

"After you see her you will leave. Then tomorrow will you bring my brother and you will receive the girl." He left the room and returned to the kitchen. Shizuka looked ready for him. Her chin was held high and her back was straight. The girl was prepared to meet the devil himself. Kaiba took her by the arm and made sure she was behind him.

"No." Before she reached the door she tried to struggle but he held a firm hold on her arm.

"Stop it. He has to see that I have you. You're not leaving with him, okay? Not until I get my brother back." He took her other hand that held on to the side of the door and threw it down. "Let's go!" He gruffly said.

When she entered the dining room she saw Pegasus hungrily taking her in. He looked like he was in love with her which made her grimace.

"Such beauty." Pegasus whispered to himself as he stood up to walk over to the girl. Kaiba looked back at her to see if she was looking like she was going to run away. "I want to be alone with the girl." This made Kaiba turn back to Pegasus who looked serious. He could feel Shizuka tense up behind him.

"No."

"Yes. I want to know what I'm getting." What this meant, neither of the two knew. Her heart was racing unsure of the comment. Was he going to do something to her? On the other hand, Kaiba stood his ground as he stepped completely in front of Shizuka to hide her behind his tall figure.

"No. You will get your chance when I get Mokuba back." Pegasus pressed his lips together in a thin line looking like he was deep in thought.

"I will not harm the angel. At least not while she is in this household. I just want to talk to her to see what kind of girl she is. If not then, no deal." Holding back a cuss, Kaiba stepped away from Shizuka, releasing his hold on her arm. She never thought she would think this but, she wanted him to be near her once again.

"I will give you ten minutes but I will be outside that door. If you dare try anything I will.." Pegasus laughed out loud.

"You will what? You are powerless, Kaiba. If I wished to claim this girl in this very living room on top of that dining table I would and you could not touch me." Pegasus reached out a hand to touch her cheek making her wince. "I would not do that, princess. Do you know why? Because I want us to be special." His hand trailed up to her hairline and smoothed out a stray hair from her pony tail. "Now Kaiba, let us be." Looking back one more time at Shizuka he nodded to her. A silent, I will be here.

"Ten minutes, Pegasus." In response Pegasus waved him off and took hold of Shizuka's wrist, pulling her towards a chair. Holding back a sound of disgust she followed him hoping that Kaiba was paying close attention on the other side of the door to make sure Pegasus didn't try anything. After she sat down on one of the chair beside Pegasus, Kaiba left the room.

"So what is your name, sweetheart?" Pegasus laid his hands on her knee. Biting her lip she tried not to slap him.

"Shizuka." She said in her strongest voice.

"Beautiful. Tell me, are you afraid of me?" She stopped looking down at her lap to look at him in the eye. His eyes were lustful and happy that he could look into her eyes. "I can't wait for you to come home with me." Leaning in towards her face, he cupped her cheek. "You know, if I wished to take you now but I just feel so bad for Kaiba-boy." His thumb touched her bottom lip caressing it as he talked. She never thought it would be so hard to be nice to someone. All her life she has been nothing but nice to everyone but this man did not deserve her kindness. What he deserved was a punch in the face. His eyes were concentrated in her lips. "He lost his brother to me. He must feel so useless, so worthless. If I took away the only chance he had to get his brother back, he would be devastated. Look how far he went. He actually kidnapped you, my angel, to get his brother back. What a sibling wouldn't do?" He was now whispering getting closer and closer to her face as she sat frozen. When his cold lips touched her cheek she pushed him back.

On the other side of the door Kaiba heard everything. What Pegasus spoke was true and it made him sick. This girl was being reduced to nothing all because of the man in the room with her. Kaiba was actually surprised that she hasn't said anything to Pegasus yet. After all the cussing and screaming he thought she would do the same to Pegasus. Was she scared? Who wouldn't be?

"You sick fuck. How dare you do this to me?" She yelled out in a rage. Pushing her chair back she stood up to get away from him. Her temper was boiling and she could no longer keep it in check. "I was a normal girl who did normal things! Now I'm trapped in this house all because a sick fuck like you wants to play games!" As soon as those words left her mouth she felt a sting against her cheek and she fell down to the floor. When she looked up she saw Pegasus with his eyes wide in anger and his hand raised. Pegasus had just slapped her.

"You insolent whore!" At the hear of the slap Kaiba ran through the doors to see what happened. Shizuka was on the floor in front of Pegasus holding her cheek. A spot of blood was on the carpet that came from her mouth. Pegasus turned his glare towards Kaiba and slowly smiled sadistically. "I hope that you will tame her next time I see her. Like I said you have until the next full moon to bring her to me. You will teach her to obey me. I will not take her as she is now. I want an obedient woman, not a childish girl like how she is now." Opening his mouth to speak, Kaiba was cut off before he could even utter a word. "This is not up for discussion. If you do not compromise with my demands then kiss your brother goodbye. I will meet up with you two more times. None of those time will you know when I will come." He said like he was in a business meeting. Pegasus knelt down and held Shizuka's chin tightening his hold so that she scrunched her eyebrows together in pain. "I also want cameras in her room. You will set up the cameras so that it could show in my computer. You know all about that kind of things and I know you can make it possible so do it. I want to see her progress. I will be coming back tomorrow to see if you set up cameras in her room." He whispered before he licked her ear making her cringe. "Goodbye my angel."

Before Kaiba could say anything, Pegasus left the room. Shaky from the meeting with Pegasus she sat still on the floor as Kaiba stayed where he stood. He was too shocked. This was going too far. Pegasus was going too far.

"Damn it!" He bellowed as he punched the wall behind him. Closing her eyes she tried not to cry. All she wanted to do right now was cry. Here she was scared, alone and bleeding. Pegasus had evil plans for her, she knew it. He wanted a toy. She was to be his toy.

"I will not be his toy." She bitterly said catching Kaiba's attention. He strode over to her and knelt down to her to shake her shoulders once again. Desperately he tried to make her see that he needed her. Had she really looked into his eyes she could have found desperation in those unemotional blue eyes.

"You will be." His voice on the verge of cracking. The last couple of weeks have been hell for him. He couldn't take this anymore. "You will and you will fucking obey him. I don't give a shit about you, and I don't care how you do it, but you will suck up whatever bullshit pride you have and obey him." She tried to escape his tight hold on her and finally stopped when he finished his sentence to look at him in the eye full of anger.

"You mean like you? Suck up my pride like you? He's walking all over the great Seto Kaiba and you let him!" Her hands grasped his shirt underneath his jacket bringing his body closer to hers. He pushed her back, making her now lay down on the ground since she was already on the ground.

"You will be locked in your room until he comes for his visits. You will have cameras in your room, you will progress, and you will meet his demands." He hissed coldly before he picked himself up off of the ground and stormed out of the room. Paula came in after Kaiba left and helped her up.

"He's stressed. You see how Pegasus has him in a hold. He has no other choice." Shizuka just nodded and looked down on the ground determined to be strong about this. As much as she tried not to show any kind of emotion, she continued to scowl as he yelled at her.

Being strong was something her brother taught her over and over again. Another thing her brother taught her was pick pocketing. A key was held tightly in her fist as she was sent to her room. She would be damned if she was going to stay any longer. All she needed now was the perfect chance to escape.


Now that she had Kaiba's key what will happen? Will she escape? What door opens with that key? Who knows? .. except for me!
