LefthandedFreak: Ok, this chapter is extremely short, I am so sorry. I've just been a bit busy.
Joey: Downloading music videos?
LefthandedFreak: (hides face in shame) Harry Potter for that matter. (sign pops up)
LefthandedFreak does not own Harry Potter. She just happens to be a rabid fan girlJoey: Though the new book seems more like something from a fanfic.
LefthandedFreak: Yeah I know. I can't read fanfics now without swearing that parts of the book are somewhere in the archives. It's pretty sad.
Joey: Anyways, why are you suddenly putting me as your introductory helper. Usually it's Kaiba.
LefthandedFreak: I remembered some time ago one of my readers pointed out that you don't appear enough and since you'll be making rare appearances in the next two chapters, you'll be helping me here.
Joey: Oh. Well, anyways, get on with the reviews.
LefthandedFreak: Ok!

Stop your making me blush. Thanks for liking it so much. (Like you had a choice) Anyways, I get really easily distracted when the T.V. or other things are on so this is really short since my brothers home and that seems to be all he wants to do. Watch T.V. and make a lot of noise. Hopefully, though, the next one will be longer and as good as the last one.

Hermes lied to cause chaos. He loves making anything harder than it should be. He'll probably regret it though. So you thought it was her eh? I won't tell you if you right or not but it should be revealed soon
To my other reviewers.
Where are you? I didn't scare you away, did I? Blast, I need to watch doing that. Also, I am sorry for any spelling errors orusing the wrong spelling word (ex: using right instead of write).Anyways, Enjoy!
Someone shivered.
It was cold, to the point of freezing, adding to the overshadowing darkness that seemed to have no end in the emotionless pit to where she could be found. Fate pulled in tighter to herself. She had never really worried about her human body dying since her soul would go back to where it started.
But now, she wasn't so sure anymore.
She stared out into the darkness, rubbing her legs absentmindedly as she watched her breath before her. Funny, how it could be so dark and yet she could still see the puffs of warm air that emitted from her body and into the shadows. Turning a bit, Fate tried to see the watch on her wrist but it was done in vein. Nothing else was visible.
How much time had passed? A minute? An hour? A day? It felt that long, at least, in her head. Squeezing tighter into her self she wondered just how destructive Hermes words had been. As silly as Kaiba was on denying the truth she was pretty sure he wasn't having any problems excepting it now and would probably scowled himself for being a fool.
Yami, even though he had an open mind to everything that seemed abnormal, I mean, come on, he was in a puzzle for thousands of years, would probably lock his self into his room and just think whilst Joey would tried to avoid the others as best he could, at least until sense came knocking back into him.
Then there was Yugi. Fate sighed. He would probably take the news the hardest in her opinion. He had been known to lock his self into his room when nothing made sense. But it should. Fate let out a hiss and pulled herself into a tighter ball as the air around her plunged into the below freezing temperatures.
They had to know what Hermes said was a lie. At least, about the 'control feelings' part. Now that she thought about it, she herself had no clue into where she had disappeared the night before. She did know that she had blocked herself from being found by anyone. Hades, Aphrodite, she just wanted to be alone for a couple of hours. But after that….blank. She couldn't remember anything.
Did she commit murder? Had she killed Hades? All the evidence seemed to point that way but still, something didn't feel right. Fate was snapped from her thoughts as light suddenly flooded the room, blinding her for a brief moment and causing her to shield her eyes.
Hermes stood in the doorway looking down at her. Was that pity she saw? Whatever had graced his face for that spilt second had immediately vanished as his hard features returned. "Fate" his voice echoed throughout the room, though it seemed to collide with nothing. "You are to report before the highest one yourself. You are banned from speaking into the matter of the trial or of anything else you find of importance before the court. Understood?"
Fate nodded her head wearily before she slowly pulled herself off the floor and stumbled to the door. Something was wrong with her legs, she could tell by how hard it seemed to move them but she did not grace herself at her own sight. Hermes stepped aside as she collapsed outside of the room, her body choking on the warm air that invaded her lungs. She sat still for a moment before cold metal encircled her neck and with a snap, she was chained and beckoned to follow Hermes down to one of the most brilliant doors she had ever seen.
Hermes pulled a string to the side. A few minutes later, the huge doors started to open, permitting Fate entrance. She closed her eyes. Even if she didn't get off on the charges given to her she hoped that more than ever, Yugi, Yami, Joey, and Kaiba would stay together.
Only then would she have completed her mission.
Yugi sighed as he buried his head into his knees. It had been hours since Fate had disappeared and Kaiba kicked them out of his house. Apparently, he didn't take well do the idea of being played. Yugi couldn't argue however. He didn't like the idea at all himself. In fact, he hated it.
That's why he was sitting alone on his roof, staring up at the stars. They seemed to glow brighter than usual. Funny. The stars could shine like the most wonderful thing had happened and here Yugi felt like crap. It didn't seem fair.
He sighed he pulled his legs closer to his self, reminiscing. So Fate had messed with there feelings. But why didn't it fell like it? Everything she had said made since and if she really had been messing with their heads why did he still feel the same. Of course, than again, she was a murderer and it seemed kind of strange to him to agree with someone who had killed.
But Fate didn't seem the type. He admitted she was a bit strange but she had never done anything really threatening or violent. Wouldn't she have shown signs? Then again, it was always the normal looking ones that committed the most horrendous crimes. Fate, though, was far from normal.
Yugi shook his head. It was all too confusing.
"Well of course it will be if you keep switching from one topic to another." Yugi head jerked up to find a very beautiful blonde woman before him, her dress trailing behind her and off the roof. "May I make a suggestion? Stay with one topic"
Yugi scrambled back to the window. "Yami! Did you let some strange woman in our house before letting her proceed onto our roof!" The woman chuckled lightly which seemed to have a drug like affect because Yugi suddenly found his head spinning.
"Sorry but he can't hear you at the moment. See, I had to talk to you in private and I was just desperate to make sure no one would interrupt until after you her what I have to say". Yugi blinked a few times before burying his face back into his knees.
"Oh now you've done it. You've thought so hard you've caused strange illusions of beautiful woman to appear before you while sitting on a roof. Why me?"
"Why any one for that matter? Look up Yugi. I am no illusion so cannot avoid me" Slowly, Yugi chanced a peak to find the young woman's face mere inches away from his. She gently placed a hand underneath his chin and raised his head so their eyes met. Yugi found himself getting lost in them.
"Who….who are you?" The lady smiled sadly.
"My name is Aphrodite."
LefthandedFreak: Yeah, it's very short. (sighs) sorry.
Joey: I want to know what happens next!
LefthandedFreak: Well I'll tell you only if you get my nagging mother away and annoying by accident brother in a closet or something. Then I'll be sure to help you get some (she pulls Joey over and whispers in his ear. He turns Scarlet)
Joey: Oh….ohh…O.o.
LefthandedFreak: (hugs Joey) Read and Review.
