AN: I really need to go over the chapters a million times. But, I can't do that until I have the entire story down. Heh, it's just the way I write. Anyways, I do not own Jareth or the Labyrinth or anything else other then Takibi, Samantha, and her house.

Takibi awoke in her apartment. She looked around, eyes narrowing. 'Love and being a wolf demon healed him!' She thought, upset as she sat up. 'How can I love a man if I don't even know him.' She sighed and got up, walking into the bathroom to splash water on her face. She stared at her reflection, eyes narrowed. 'And he bloody kissed me!' She groaned slightly and rested her forehead against the mirror. 'I'm screwed, big time.' She sighed. 'If only Sarah were here...He loves her, not me. He only kissed me because I reminded him of her.' Then, she grinned.

"Jareth, I know you're watching me." She said, looking around. "I know that wasn't a dream and frankly I'm a bit pissed off. So, if you will, I would like to talk to you." She heard tapping in the other room, her bedroom. Her eyes narrowed considerably as she walked out of her bathroom and into the bedroom. Sure enough, there was a white owl tapping on the window. She opened it and stepped to the side quickly. She wasn't very surprised when the owl morphed into Jareth. "You gave Sarah thirteen hours to go through the Labyrinth or her baby brother would be turned into a Goblin." She started. "I remind you of Sarah and that's what's blinding you. You kissed me only because you see Sarah in me. To proof to you that I am my own person and not Sarah I want to take on the challenge of the Labyrinth."

"I accept your challenge. You have thirteen hours to get to the castle. But, the Labyrinth changes after a while. It won't be the same path that Sarah took. And it won't be a sibling that stays at the castle if you lose, it will be you." The walls around them fell. Their new surroundings were an endless plain of dust and a towering stone wall. Gates were in front of them and they opened to a flick of Jareth's wrist. "And you're starting in a completely different area." He disappeared, his face emotionless.

Takibi glared at where he once stood before heading towards the gates. She had a feeling that there would be no Hoggle, Ludo, or Sir Diddymus to lead her. She jumped slightly when the gates slammed closed behind her. The only path that she could take was the one straight, there were no right turns or left turns, merely a straight eerie path. She walked calmly, her steps soundless. No sooner did she start did she hear something shift and crumble. She turned around, a wall was heading straight for her, blocking any escape route. That's when she began to panic.

She ran quickly, staying on her toes to keep her weight light. The wall behind her picked up the pace. She spotted a path to her right and darted into it. The wall stopped at the entrance of the path, blocking her from leaving. Her eyes narrowed and she turned around to look at her other options. There was a man in front of her, holding two swords. He was dressed in silver armor, hiding his identity. He flipped the second sword around, gripping it by the blade as he threw it, hilt first, towards her. She caught it, easily. There was a weapons class at her Tae Kwon Do and she loved taking it.

The man lunged forward, showing an exit behind him. Her sword met his as she pushed it away from her. She kicked him in the side while he was busy dealing with her sword. He stumbled backwards and raised his sword. She raised hers, watching him. She spun around in a fake, leaping to the side as his sword barely missed her side. She raised her sword to his neck.

"I win." She said, watching him as he dropped his sword. He took off his helmet to reveal wild blonde hair, mismatched eyes. She glared and hurled her sword to the ground. "You don't fence very well." She muttered as she headed towards the exit. Jareth said something behind her. "Can't hear you." She growled as she found herself in a large courtyard with many choices of paths.

She could barely see the castle over the top of the walls and headed towards the path that seemed to promise that it led to the castle. She stopped and turned around. 'Nothing is what it seems...' She thought as she headed towards the opposite path. She already wasted an hour, she had twelve left. She sighed and followed her new path. It twisted and turned before it dropped straight down. She stopped at the edge, looking across where the path started once more. It was at least six feet across. She gritted her teeth and backed up before running forward. Once her feet touched the edge she jumped. Her stomach slammed into the edge of where the path started.

She winced and began to slip, luckily her hands grabbed the edge and heaved herself onto the path. 'I'm so going to kill Jareth once I'm done.' She thought as she began to run down the path. She had eleven hours left. She sighed and continued until she came across a dead end. There were two holes in the ground. 'Great...' She thought sarcastically as she looked down both of them. One looked like it went endlessly and the other held a type of bright light at the bottom. Taking a deep breath, she jumped into the one that went on endlessly. Looks could be deceiving.

She winced as she was thrown into a wall and left to crumble to the ground in a gasp. She held her shoulder tightly, blood trickling down to stain her white shirt. 'I am definitely going to kill him' She thought angrily as she got to her feet. She stared at the wall she had run into, there were jagged pieces of glass glued to the stone. She stood up and looked around, there was another path to the left of the wall. She took it and ran straight into Jareth who was grinning Mischievously.

"How do you like my Labyrinth." He asked, putting a hand on the wall right next to her. Her eyes narrowed, not a trickle of fear showing on her face.

"Once you get the hang of it, it's a piece of cake." She just realized she made a mistake when Jareth grinned and a clock appeared.

"Oh? How about we up the stakes a bit." He said, twirling his finger around clockwise as the hours she had left minimized.

"Go to hell, Jareth. I'm not going to stay here." She said with a snarl.

"I don't think you have a choice. Didn't you enjoy the kiss?" He asked, a bit of anger showing through his eyes.

"No, it was meant for someone else, not me. It was meant for Sarah." He winced and she pushed past him and continued to walk. She now had four hours left. "Bloody hell..." She muttered as she began to run.

Spotting a ladder as the only way out, she began to climb. She pushed open a trap door and found herself a bit closer to the castle yet in another courtyard with more paths. She grumbled a couple curses and took a random path, hoping it was the correct one. The hours went by until she had one left. He was cheating, she knew it. Illusions were everywhere, she was being led in circles until Jareth appeared with a smirk on his face.

"You're mine." He said, the clock appearing next to him.

"You cheated." She snapped, Jareth's eyes narrowed.

"You will be a servant in my castle. You're lucky I won't turn you into a goblin." He said angrily as he transported them back to the castle and into a small room with only a bed roll and nothing else. "This is your room." He said, leaving.

'What happened to the other room?' She wondered to herself as she slumped to the door. Once she made sure he was gone she began to cry. It would be two years later when things would change. In those two years she worked for Jareth. She cleaned his room, the throne room, cooked breakfast, etc. But secretly she trained her 'powers' in which she had found shortly after becoming a servant. Her emotions and personality changed considerably. Now she walked around emotionlessly and only showed anger towards Jareth and never smiled. Jareth saw his mistake and tried to fix it...Two years later.

AN: Yeah, it sucks, lol. Like the other chapters but hey, I'm practicing...Sort of. But, the romance I promised you all will be here sooner then you think.
