(Its my friends extra adress so label all emails "whoareyou?" Thanx! Now without any further ado...the story...

"Uh..."

Li stared at the empty room. The walls stared back as she blinked slowly. She didn't know where she was.

"Is anybody there?" she called but to no answer.

Suddenly a door opened and a man came in. He had sand colored hair and violet eyes. He stared at her with a twisted grin on his face.

"Um...can you help me?" she asked.

He laughed.

"Help my own prisoner get away?" he asked. "Yeah right."

"Prisoner?" she repeated.

He nodded.

"My name is Marik." he said. "And I sent those men to get you."

"what?" she asked.. "Why?"

He laughed.

"Because...come now don't you remember me?" he asked touching the side of her face. she jerked away. "Come now you can't possibly have forgot me?"

She bit her bottom lip. It wasn't the fact he kidnapped her that was bothering her it was what he said was true. She had seen his face before. In a twisted vision that haunted her in the depths of night. The time when you feel the most vulnerable and unsafe is when his mind would float innocently into her mind and fill her up. A large knot appeared in her stomach as she shifted uneasily in the chair. Marik shook his head.

"Ah Tamori..." he said.

"My name's Li." she corrected him.

"It is know but not when we met." he cooed softly.

"What?" she questioned.

"Our past life together darling..."

"Don't call me darling."

Marik rubbed the large rod in his hands. Li's eyes filled up with the appearance of it. That rod...she could remember...a glow...that eye...that horrible eye...It would kill and destroy... she shook her head. Marik grinned at her.

"so you do remember Tamori." he said softly.

"I don't know what you're talking about." she quipped.

Suddenly he pulled himself close to her and kissed the side of her face. He whispered things in a strange language that she had heard before...

"Awaken the soul...forever sleeping. How our love will last for milleiua. An undying love for eternity. Clenched in the fist of the heart...eternally beating for you and you alone."

Every word she understood and felt flow through her like cool water. It comforted her like a familiar lullaby. She felt his lips dance over her neck. She was in a trance from his words and let him do this. Until she managed to break free and shove him off. He stared at her.

"Don't you love me?" he asked.

"I don't even know you!" she said.

He reached out to touch her.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" she screamed.

he pulled away and sighed. He pointed the long rod in her face. It's shiny body glimmered in the light and she could feel the evil almost pulsing out of it.

"I have no choice." he said. "Until you remember me and give me your heart...your mind is mine."

Suddenly the light from the eye in the center surrounded her in a painful glory. She burned all over but couldn't scream. Tears flowed from her eyes as her arms hung limp at her sides and her mind went blank. All she could remember was Marik's hands grabbing her around the waist and the sound of the rod falling to the floor.

"JESS! JESS! OPEN THE DOOR!" Monica pounded on the wooden door of Jess's house.

It opened up and a pair of eyes peeked around the corner. They were a gray green and shimmered lifelessly at her. A head emurged with them. It was a woman. She was short and had dyed ruby colored hair.

"Can I help you?" she asked in a brisk latin accent.

"Um...is Jess home?" she asked suddenly embarrassed.

"Yes who are you?" she asked.

"Monica. I'm a friend of hers from school." she responded.

"I'll go get her." she closed the door leaving Monica on the porch.

Monica moved uneasily because she felt so exposed. If those guys saw her out here they'd try taking her. She was only a few blocks away from the museum. They could come by there any minute. Of course on the other hand they might not know what she looked like. They did need that autumn girl to tell them. Suddenly the door opened and there stood Jess. Her long hair was tied in a low ponytail and she had on a raven from teen titans (A/N - they really have shirts like that.) shirt and a pair of black jeans.

"Monica?" she asked closing the door behind her. "What are you doing here?"

"Jess!" she said. "Do you remember that day at the museum?"

Jess's face fell.

"Yes." she said suspiciously. "Why?"

"I went back there." she continued. "And I stayed there the night and..."

"Why did you spend the night?" she asked.

"...that's not important!" she snapped. "Anyway these guys came and they were looking for me. They called me the "pharaohis." I think what that Ishizu lady had been babbling on about was true!"

Jess shook her head.

"Come on Monica!" she snapped. "This is a load of crap if I ever heard any!"

"No it isn't look what I found!" she opened the palm and revealed a Japanese figure tattoo. "It's there just like Ishizu said!"

Jess stopped her.

"Just stop it ok!" she yelled and slammed the door in her face.

Monica became confused and hurt. Then she left. She could at least warn the others.

Jess leaned her back against the door and sighed as she sunk to the ground. She pulled her knees to her chest and looked at the tipped whole in her kneecap. There on the top of her knee was a Japanese figure tattoo.

...well that's all for now! Please think about what I said and review! Well until next time!
