(Gabrielle POV)

I look at myself in the mirror, I am pathetic. I was a strong warrior, queen and demigod, how could I allow Zorc to do this? I growl in anger and frustration, I grab the knife Odion gave me that I owned as Queen and with my left hand I grip my long curly brown hair. I pull it out and back and cut all of my hair off, leaving me with short hair. I throw my hair into the toilet and flush it, no more will I be the weak one, I will be an exorcist. I exit the bathroom and back to my room, I finish packing my things to move to Tokyo. I grab my picture frames and place them in my backpack.

"You must keep up your grades in both schools," Dad scolds. "I want reports when you get them and for you to call me every weekend. Because of the powers you have access to, Sir Pheles knows."

"You told him? Why?" I ask.

"You have access to these powers of yours, they need to know just in case something happens. He swears not to tell anyone, that will be up to you when you feel the time is right."

"Okay...dad, I am so sorry, I know I should ha-"

"It is not your fault," dad says, facing me and pulls me into a hug. "You could have not known what he was going to do, you had been knocked back and were trying to regain your balance. If you tried to do anything, you could be stuck there to."

I smile sadly and hug him back, I miss them so much, I wish I could have done more, but now I am going to work my butt off to save them.

(Regular POV, True Cross Academy)

Rin, Shieme and Natsu are sitting together near the fountain eating their lunch, the three have been friends for a while now since all of them are in the cram school together. Natsu looks up as she hears some commotion coming from their left.

"Did you hear that Pegasus's adopted daughter is moving into the school," a boy says.

"Seriously? Which one? He has like two," another asks.

"The curly haired one, the queen of games," the first says. "I heard she is quite the looker."

Natsu rolls her eyes, why do most guys only care about looks? What about their personality and heart?

"Something wrong?" Shieme questions.

"Just some idiots talking about a new student and her looks," Natsu replies, eating her food.

"A new student?" Rin asks.

"Yea, apparently it is the Queen of Games, Gabrielle Pegasus I believe her name is."

"Really?" Rin perks up. "That is so cool! I need to see her duel!"

Natsu laughs, happy to know that her friend isn't interested in trying to flirt with her and just wants to see her skills.

Later that day, Gabrielle walks into the cram classroom, she looks around at the other students.

"I am Gabrielle Pegasus," Gabrielle says. "It is nice to meet you all."

Gabrielle takes a seat next to Natsu, Natsu looks her over something about her seems familiar. Class soon begins and the others watch as Gabrielle goes through what they did when they first started, they are impressed when she summons a wolf and bear demon.

"So Gabrielle, what meisters are you going to go for?" Shima asks.

"I think I will be a Knight and Tamer," Gabrielle answers. "I am not one to memorize scriptures or be a doctor."

"But you are great at memorizing things," Rin says. "I mean you memorize what all of those cards can do."

"That is not really memorizing, it is more strategy based, knowing which is best against another and the traps and spells that can pop up."

"I bet you would be a great tactician," Konekomaru comments. "With all that you know."

Gabrielle smiles for the first time in a few weeks, Rin and Yukio both notice that her smile is similar to Natsu's smile.

(In the Shadow Realm. Maria's POV)

I have lost track of all time since the curse was placed on us, we are currently hiding from Zorc. We are all weak and tired from battling so much, even with Mahad and Mana, things are not turning out for us. I look at everyone, they are all tense and tired, I sigh I wish I could do more to help but I do not know what to do.

"How long do you think we have been here?" Tristan asks.

"I don't know, maybe a week, month?" Duke responds.

"I guess we will never know until this cures is gone," I say. "I just hope we can see that day, and that Gabs is safe."

I see Atem look down at his hands, I know he misses my sister, after all they have been in love for three thousand years. I look over at Bakura and I see anger on his face, Zorc used him and amplified his hatred for the Pharaoh so I can understand his anger.

"So how are we going to break this curse?" Marik asks.

"Is there anything in the library on curses?" Ishizu inquires.

"There are, but we have to get to the palace first," Isis tells us. "It will be difficult considering how far away we are and Zorc and his demons are in the way."

"We will make it there, first we need to rest," I comment. "So let us get some sleep."

Everyone nods and we try our best to get comfortable, I sigh and lay down, I close my eyes and pray that things will get better.

(Gabrielle's POV)

I have to go to Sir Pheles's office, I make my way there. I guess he wants to talk about the powers I access to, I am nervous that he may try something. Anyone would want to get their hands on this powers, I mean come on, I have the powers of a goddess. I make it to his office and knock on the door, when I hear a come in and when I enter the office I see Natsu sitting in one of the chairs.

"Hello Miss Pegasus," Pheles greets. "I certainly sense a lot of power coming from you. From now on you will be staying at the abandoned Boy's dorm along with miss Fujimoto here."

So that is her last name, if I remember correctly that was my father's last name too but I always went by my mother's last name. I nod and sit in the second chair, there is something else that he is not telling us.

"So Miss Fujimoto will take you to your room that the two of you will be sharing," Pheles tells me. "As well, Miss Fujimoto has certain abilities as well, she can use energy as a weapon. She has control over it but you do need to keep an eye on her just in case. Same goes with Miss Pegasus, just in case something happens."

"Yes sir," we both say.

"You may go."

Natsu stands first and I soon follow her, the walk to the dorm is quiet. What can I possibly say? We both have strange powers? How is that even possible? I mean with me it is obvious since I am the reincarnation of Selene down to a tee. We soon make it to the dorm and Natsu takes us to our room, my things are already there but not unpacked.

"You can have the bed on the right," Natsu says. "Yukio and Rin live here too, they are down the hall on the left. On the right down aways, is the girl's bathroom."

"Okay, thank you Natsu," I say as I begin to unpack.

The room falls silent again as I unpack my things, I place my casual clothes into the closet along with my uniforms. The hardest part is placing my deck and picture frame on my desk, I place a hand on my bracelet.

"Those are your friends?" Natsu asks.

"Y-yea, they are," I smile sadly. "The auburn haired girl is my sister, we have known each other for eleven years."

"Where are they?"

I stay quiet, it is still too hard to talk about, it is all my fault that they are stuck in the shadow realm.

"You do not have to talk about it if it is too difficult," Natsu says to break the silence. "Just know I am here when you feel like talking."

I nod my head and finish unpacking my things. After that Natsu and I work on our homework for both our day classes and cram classes, I'm glad that Natsu and I are in advanced classes together because I am behind a bit and need to catch up.

"Hey! Dinner is ready!" I hear Rin call.

"We will be there soon!" Natsu calls. "Okay, let's finish this sheet and than get dinner."

I nod in agreement as my stomach growls. We soon finish with our exorcist homework and head down to the kitchen/dining room. Yukio and Rin are already there waiting for us.

"Hello," Yukio smiles.

"About time you two," Rin says.

"Oh hush Rin," Natsu says. "Unlike you we were doing our homework and studying."

I laugh as Rin pouts, I take a seat next to Rin as Natsu sits next to Yukio. I look up and notice the slight blush on Natsu's face, does she have a crush on one of the twins or something? I smirk, I am going to have so much fun with this. Natsu notices my smirk and glares at me as in saying not to say one word. I playfully stick my tongue out at her and we all have a nice time together before heading off to bed. Do not worry everyone, I will see you soon.
