Typical disclaimers apply here. This story is a shoujo-ai fic so if you hate this story go away otherwise R&R.
Jennifer Wheeler returned home to see her mom Mai Valentine Wheeler preparing dinner. Yes that's right Jennifer's mom is the infamous Harpy's Queen. Ever since the incident with Dartz she had been questioning her purpose in life until she ran into her father Joey since then she's been happy and content with her life. "Hey honey can you help me with the sauce? I need some chopped onions and some honey." You see Mai became a famous chef, even having a show on the Food Network and was always trying out new dishes on the family.
Joey has become a card designer for Pegasus in fact he designed most of the cards in Jennifer's deck and even a few new cards for himself. He still keeps in touch with his old friends and Jennifer's aunt Serenity landed a job as a Duel-Disk programmer for Mokuba Kiba who took over Kiba Corp since Seto retired as CEO after the final battle against Bakura.
"Hi mom how was work?" Jennifer asked as she set her book bag down onto the couch "Not bad though I need to make a killer Chicken Alfredo next week." Mai sighed as she sat down a large pot of spaghetti sauce onto the kitchen counter "A new guy arrived and to be honest he scares the crap outta me." Jennifer told Mai as she recounted her day to her. To Jennifer, Jared is emanating a wave of creepiness that seemed to indicate that he was a dangerous person. Jennifer did her homework and went to sleep hoping that she was wrong about him.
The next day seemed to drag on for Jennifer as it felt that Jared seemed even more evil if possible. At the end of the day as Jennifer were walking home a black van suddenly pulls up and seven men in sapphire colored robes emerged from the van and tried to kidnap her fortunately she took self-defense lessons since she was six as she fought off all seven men but as she defeated the last man she felt something hit the back of her head and she fell to the ground unaware of who hit her the figure bent to pick her up a flash of red hair was shown.
Slowly reality returned to Jennifer as she awoke to find that she was tied to a chair a bit of a cliché to say the least "Ah I see that you've finally awoken my dear." A mysterious voice spoke as Jennifer looked at her surroundings it seems to be an abandoned warehouse "Jared. I should've known you did this. Why are you doing this?" Jennifer spat as Jared came into view wearing what seems to be a ceremonial robe crimson colored like his hair. A large staff adorned with rubies seemed to accentuate the look "Let me guess sacrificial lamb for some wannabe god?" Jennifer mocked as Jared began making preparations "Quite incorrect my dear you see I'm going to do what that fool Bakura failed to do and that is to resurrect the mighty Zorc and secure my place as ruler of the world. And all I need is a sacrifice and since your father knew the pharaoh you'll do just as nicely and without the pharaoh to stop him no one can save the world now! " Jared laughed manically as a large altar glowed with unholy power and shadow power emitted from said altar she heard the stories about the Shadow Games from her father but never experienced it. "Damn it Jared stop this now or I swear I'll kill you before Zorc does." Jared turned and smiled at her rather sinisterly "My name's not Jared but to save you any confusion you can call me Jared if you wish." If Jennifer wasn't scared then she was absolutely full of fear now fortunately she prepared for this and always kept a card hidden in her sleeve she bent her hand and found said card "Attack Harpy Lady!" the winged monster obeyed her mistress's command and attacked Jared in the face while Jared was on the ground screaming in pain Jennifer untied the knots Jared between screams yelled "Run and keep running because I will find you and resurrect Zorc I swear it!" Jennifer ran all the way home and told her parents what happened it was decided that Jennifer would run away from Domino and find a place to hide from Jared but it seemed hopeless Jared always seemed to find her god father Yugi suggested going to the duel academy.
Jennifer sighed as she looked at a photo of her and her family taken at Christmas last year and decided to tell Alexis the truth and hopefully she can help her. She thought about Alexis and found herself falling in love with her she thought about telling her that she loves her but decided it should wait until later after she confess about Jared.
