Jewels: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh.
SASHA'S POV
"JEWELS OPEN THE DOOR!" I yelled as I pounded on our bedroom door.
"Go away," was all I got from her.
"Jewels…we can still help Marik," the Pharaoh said standing beside me.
"Just leave me alone," Jewels replied.
I sighed and leaned against the wall and put my hand over my heart. My sister was heart broken and I could feel it.
"Pharaoh is there anyway I can help?" a woman in Egyptian clothing asked walking towards us.
"Ishizu…you could get the door open," Pharaoh said.
"Oh I can do that," Mokuba said walking towards us and holding a key card.
Ishizu turned and looked at me. "Let me talk to your sister Sasha," she said, "I can tell that she cares deeply for my brother and this is affecting her very much."
'No kidding,' I thought. But I just nodded.
Mokuba slid the key card and the door slid open and Ishizu walked in closing the door behind her.
"Is this a good idea?" I asked the Pharaoh.
"Yes…I think it is," he replied.
JEWELS' POV
The door of my room opened and closed and I picked my head up from the bed and I was going to yell at them, but then I saw who it was.
"You must be Ishizu," I said recognizing her from my vision.
She nodded and took a seat at the small in the room. "And you are Julianne 'Jewels' Tanaka…a young woman who has come to love my brother in the short time that you've known him and know, just as I do that there is good inside him," she said.
I looked at her and then saw a Millennium Item around her neck. 'Either a psychic or has a Millennium Item…Millennium Item it is,' I thought. "Yes I have come to love your brother…I know that there is good inside that handsome man with lavender eyes," I said.
She smiled. "I am very happy that my brother has someone like you to love him," she said.
"But the monster still consumed him," I said letting another tear roll down my cheek.
"Not entirely," she said causing me to look at her strangely, "My brother, the man that you love is still deep within that monster. Though I am afraid only the Pharaoh can save him now."
"There must be something I can do Ishizu," I said, "Anything."
"I can see nothing that you can do without you ending up in the shadow realm or being hurt," she said looking out the window.
"This isn't fair," I said putting my head in my hands, "I love him."
I heard footsteps and then I felt Ishizu's arms wrap around me. "It's ok Jewels," she said, "We'll…We'll get him back." I turned and hugged her. I didn't care if I had just met her; at that point I just needed a hug from someone who was going through my pain.
After a minute or two Ishizu let me go and left the room and Sasha and the gang came in and sat around me.
"I'm sorry I hid this from you Yug," I said looking towards Yugi.
"It's ok Jewels," he said patting my shoulder, "Sasha explain EVERYTHING in the hallway."
"Are you mad at her?" I asked biting my lip.
"No," he replied smiling, "I understand that you and your sister have this bond based around trust."
"Now you said that she explain EVERYTHING right?" I asked.
"Yup, we know about you getting stuck in the window," Duke said laughing.
-Facepalm-"Oh geez I am never going to live that one down," I said.
Over the next few days things were ok, I didn't really pay any attention to the duels because I didn't want to know what Yami Marik was up to, mostly because I was to scared to know and go near him. And also I didn't really think anything of it when we had like this earthquake in the air and then it felt like we came to a stop…I thought maybe I had just gotten used to the feeling of the blimp until about two days after that Sasha came running into the room.
"OH MY GOD JEWELS YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED!" She said waving her hands around in the air.
"You found out that Harajuku (a popular teen fashion store in Japan) is having a buy 3 get 3 free sale and we're going to miss it?" I asked.
"WHAT?" She asked completely shocked by what I just said, "NO! I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THAT!"
"Then what are you yelling about?" I asked.
"Me, Yugi, Téa, Duke, Tristan, Joey, Serenity, Kaiba, and Mokuba were trapped in this virtual world by this evil little boy named Noah and the Big 5," she said.
"Sasha…what have I told you about eating Jelly Beans before bed?" I asked.
"This wasn't a dream!" she said loudly, "We were in a virtual world."
"But it didn't feel like you were gone," I said.
"Because our bodies were still here, they were in these pods that Kaiba created for a video game and the Big 5 stole the technology," she explained.
"Right," I said still looking at her strangely.
"It was real!" she exclaimed.
"Okay, okay," I said.
"Are you going to watch the finals once they come around?" she asked, "Apparently we're almost to the spot where they're being held."
I nodded. "I…I feel that I have to," I said.
She hugged me. "The Pharaoh will do everything he can to save Marik," she said.
We felt the blimp come to a stop again and Sasha linked arms with me and we walked to the exit of the blimp. Yami Marik was already standing there and he turned and looked at me and smirked and I just looked away.
The first duel was a four way duel to the top this "oh so magnificent" tower that Kaiba had built. This duel would determine who would face who at the top of the tower, that ended up being Marik vs. Joey and Kaiba vs. Yugi.
"Be careful Joey," I said as everyone was giving him their good lucks.
"You sayin' that 'cause he's ya boyfriend?" he asked.
"That monster," I sneered, "Is not my Marik."
He put his hands on my shoulders and looked me strait in the eyes. "I was just messin' wit ya Jewels," he said frowning at the fact that at this point I couldn't even take one of his joke, "I'll be careful." He went over to his dueling spot and the duel started. The worst part was Joey ended up losing and he was out cold.
Once back on the blimp I tracked down Yami Marik and turned him around so that he was facing me.
"You…are so heartless," I said.
"And that's what makes me stronger than my counter part," he said, "No emotions, no letting anyone in to ruin our plans to become Pharaoh."
"The Pharaoh that I know is an all around great guy and I bet he made a great leader," I said trying not to let him intimidate me, "Something that you will never be."
"You foolish girl!" he snapped grabbing my arm and holding up the Millennium Rod, but nothing happened. "What the?" he questioned looking very perplexed about this situation.
"My Marik is still within you," I said pulling my arm away from him, "And he won't let you use that on me."
"Maybe so…but it won't be long until I am Pharaoh and you will be the first one I send to the shadow realm," he said getting his face inches from mine.
At that moment I don't know what came over me but I smacked him and he just rubbed his cheek and chuckled.
"That…took a lot of nerve," he said before turning and walking away.
I fell to my knees and out my face in my hands. 'All I want is Marik…that's all I want,' I thought. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked and saw the Pharaoh and Sasha.
The Pharaoh kneeled down and looked me in the eyes. "Crying is a way we show our emotions," he said, "But I know that Marik needs and wants you to be strong for him because right now he is in a dark place. Your love for him is probably the only light he has in that dark place and if you break down…that light may weaken."
I nodded understanding what he meant and he helped me up.
"Why do you two go get something to eat," he said, "I have to go get ready for my duel with Kaiba."
"Okay," Sasha said. The Pharaoh whispered something in her ear and then left.
I looked at her and she sighed. "He wants me to stay with you," she said.
"Oh…you don't have to," I said.
"I know he'll kick Kaiba's butt," she said smiling that goofing grin of hers. "Now let's go get something to eat."
Jewels: Well that was chapter 7, I hoped you enjoyed it!
