Jasmine POV
I look up a few hours after I had eaten my meal to see the guards coming and dragging someone with them, why have they brought a kid with them…Mokuba!
"Mokuba!" I cry getting up but only being able to take two steps before I'm forced to stop because of these damn chains still on my ankles,
"Jasmine!" he says, his eyes on me now, struggling to get the guards off them,
"George! Let him in here with me! He won't struggle I promise" I say, looking to the guard on the left, he looks from me to the other guard holding Mokuba,
"She'll keep him quiet" he says, and they both agree and bring Mokuba over to my cell, opening the door and bringing Mokuba in, but surprising me, they chain his ankles to the wall by my own, I hurriedly bring him into my arms, holding him steady so he won't fall, carefully bringing us down to the floor, my arms around him as his around me, my heart clenches when he starts to cry,
"Thank you, George" I say, looking up at him, he nods at me for this and they both leave after locking our cell,
"Mokuba where have you been?" I ask, having wondered where he might be, I did think he might have been taken to the dungeons as he is my father's prisoner but when I arrived here I found him absent,
"I was taken by the big five, then your dad's guards took me to a tower to stay, but I escaped, I found Yugi and his friends, someone tried to pretend they were Seto, they even had his cards, they had the blue eyes white dragons too, all three of them. But I got taken away before the duel between Yugi and the fake Seto ended. I think Yugi won, but that creep that pretended to be Seto…he was weird, kept making out that he was the darkness that was in Seto until Yugi released him, but that kind of stuff is crazy, right?" he asks, looking up at me with tears in his eyes, I stroke his hair comfortingly,
"I'm not sure what to think anymore Mokuba, at this rate I don't even know what to believe, my father has gone insane, I tried to help Seto with sending him information but I got logged out and then brought to my dad, he told me all this is so that we can get my mother back…but…it's insane, all of this is insane. But I won't let him hurt you Mokuba" I say, giving him a squeeze, his head resting on my shoulder as I lay my back against the wall.
"Seto will save us Jasmine, I know he will" he says, I nod at this with a smile, the faith he has in Seto has always made my heart swell, those two are the best example of family, they would do anything for them.
"Meal time!"
We both look up to see one of the guards bringing in a tray with food and water for us both, I nod in thanks, keeping Mokuba to my side still just in case, I watch him leave after leaving the tray on the floor near us,
"Come on Mokuba, you need to eat" I say, pulling the tray to us, finding two small loaves of bread, an apple and a glass of water for us each.
A little while after we're finished I decided to rest back against the wall, Mokuba snuggled into my side, my arm around him protectively, I keep my eyes open but I let my body relax, not going to sleep but allowing myself rest.
"My brother will come for us, I know he'll come like he always does, like the day he came for me after mum and dad past away. Pegasus thinks that by keeping me locked away, he can take over your company KaibaCorp, but Pegasus doesn't know you like I do, heck when we were growing up, you never lost at anything, you'd never give up, you just keep on going until you had beaten everyone. And you're going to beat Pegasus the same way, so come and rescue me big brother. Come soon" he says, he must have thought that I was asleep, seeing him bringing out his locked to look at the photograph of Seto when he was younger, I smile at the image.
"What's happened to you brother? Why haven't you come? You promised you would always be there for me, well where are you? You never failed me before. You always come through for me, so where are you now Seto, why haven't you found me? I need you, Jasmine needs you. Why haven't you stopped Pegasus?" he says.
I rub his arm, catching his attention,
"He's coming Mokuba, nothing will stop him from finding you, he may get stopped by some of the guards or some of the traps my father may have set up, but none of those will stop him from coming" I say, he looks to me and then smiles and nods, I bring him closer to my side hugging him close, him resting his head on me. That he feels safe with me makes me feel happy, I've known this boy ever since that party many years ago, I'd give my life for him, do anything for him, both he and Seto know this.
"Mokuba" I look up in surprise as well as Mokuba, in front of our cell is Seto!
"Seto? Seto its you" Mokuba says, straightening up, I smile widely at him,
"Yeah, it's me" he says, his eyes going from Mokuba to me,
"Jasmine why are you down here?" he asks, my smile faltering at this,
"For helping you and Mokuba, trying to stop my father, he's gone mad Seto" I say, he nods at this, I help Mokuba stand up and stand up myself beside him,
"I always knew you'd come and rescue us, always" Mokuba says, I smile down at him then to Seto,
"So, what now? I bet you have some high tech plan to get us out of –" but I catch him just in time when he tries to walk to Seto but the chains around his ankles stop him from going further,
"Stay still kiddo" Seto says,
"Ok, whatever you say big brother" Mokuba says, I smile at him for this,
"Just give me one second to pick this lock" he says, crouching in front of where the keyhole is on the door to the cell, but in the shadows behind him I see something move,
"Well, well, the brothers Kaiba, reunited at last" father says, I stare at him in fear, bringing Mokuba behind me,
"Bravo Kaiba, bravo, I knew nothing would stop you from getting here" he says, Seto looking at him now,
"You conniving snake, I should take you down for what you've done to Mokuba, and for Jasmine, your own daughter" Seto says, looking at father, both in front of the cell,
"Don't be ridiculous Kaiba boy, in my dungeon in my castle, in my realm, the only one who makes threats, is me" he says, and suddenly his eye…his golden eye shines blindingly, I see it directing at Mokuba who I hadn't noticed had come forward slightly, but quickly I pull him behind me out of fathers sight, but I feel….like I'm being pulled….snatched out of my body, what's happening?!
Seto POV
I hear a scream whilst I shielded my eyes from that light, but just as it came it it disappears, but then I hear a thud and chains dropping,
"Jasmine!"
I look to the cell where I heard Mokuba's cry, only to see Jasmine's body lying face down on the floor,
"Jasmine!" I say trying to get into the cell but the bars keeping me out, Mokuba turning her so she is facing up, only for me to see her eyes…bare, emotionless.
"No! look what you did! You evil brat!" shouts Pegasus, I look to him in shock, seeing him furiously looking at Mokuba, then I look to his hand, seeing him holding a card…and seeing who is on the card.
Jasmine is in the card, looking terrified, her arms wrapped around her, tears down her cheeks, the most scared I have ever seen her…but that's not possible!
"I was to capture your soul not hers! But she had to hide you behind her, taking your place! No I will release her later. But you are still going to join her!" he shouts, I try to stop him but that light comes again, I kick and ram my body against the bars but it won't budge.
Then the light disappears, and Mokuba's body is on the floor beside Jasmine's, Pegasus laughing, I look to him with rage,
"You monster! What have you done? What have you done to them?" I demand,
"It's just a little trick" he says, now holding another card in his hand, but this one is of Mokuba, looking out of the card as if looking at me, looking terrified,
"Tell me, what have you done?" I ask, glaring at him
"I've ensured your co-operation. For you see, Mokuba, and now Jasmine's soul are now imprisoned in a place the locks can't be picked" he says,
"Your mad" I say, what he is saying is impossible, it can't be real, but what else could possibly have happened to Mokuba and Jasmine?
"And there they will remain Kaiba boy, until you beat me in a duel" he says, I look at him surprised, taken aback by his response,
"A duel? You? Now? Fine I'll do anything" I say, anything to help my brother and best friend, but he shakes his head no,
"Not just yet Kaiba, you must first earn the privilege to duel me. And you can only do that by defeating Yugi in a duel" he says, I stare at him in shock, defeat Yugi?
"And if you can't win against him, Mokuba's soul will stay mine forever. So, what will it be Seto Kaiba, do you care enough about your brother's life to try and save his soul? Not that you have much of a choice, Mokuba's soul belongs to me, so life like, but you probably preferred him in the flesh, didn't you? Much like you did my daughter, she too will stay within her new dungeon until she learns to behave" he says, I glare at him angrily, how dare he! What kind of monster is he?
"You're not human!" I shout, restraining myself from attacking him,
"Quite human actually, just extraordinary gifted" he says, throwing something from his pocked to the floor at my feet,
"Here, you'll need these for your duel with Yugi" he says, I look at him confused, why is he doing all this, it sounds like some big plan but I don't understand why he is doing all this,
"Why are you doing this?" I ask,
"My reasons are none of your concern, maybe I just enjoy the struggle, the constant tug of war between you and Yugi boy. Or maybe I want something your incapable of comprehending, something you'll end up delivering to me all tied up in a bow" he says, but his damn riddles just make me angrier and more frustrated,
"Talk straight, what do you want?" I ask,
"Want? I want to see if your capable of defeating little Yugi boy in a duel, and only if you successfully crush him in a humiliating defeat will you get the opportunity to duel me, then if you beat me, I promise to restore your brother's soul, and allow you to take Jasmine away" he says,
"For now, I have no choice but to play your game, but soon, as soon as I beat Yugi, I'll be back and you had better keep good on your promise to restore my brother and Jasmine, because if you don't I promise I will take great pleasure is removing your soul from your body my own way" I say angrily, as soon as I defeat him and have Mokuba and Jasmine released I'll take them far away from here.
He only laughs, but I only glare as I retrieve the stars from the ground and after taking my suitcase I leave, with only a last minute glace at Mokuba and Jasmine, I will save them, no matter what the cost!
