Neferi: Sorry for taking so long in updating my readers!
Tara: Blame the school for that, she had exams this week.
Neferi: Yeah but that won't keep me from updating.
Tara: So true.
Neferi: First off, thank you LoveLiesBleeding2 for reading my story and there's something I have to ask to you my friend, PLEASE don't get angry with me because of Marik's behavior!! It's just that…it makes the story so interesting to see how can two people that dislike each other fall in love, at least that's my POV for this story.
Tara: Yeah, I was wondering how on Earth I was going to fall for Marik.
Neferi: *smiles* You'll see, now read the disclaimer!!
Tara: NeferNeferi doesn't own YGO but she does own me, Tara Kasuki and a few things you will see in this chapter.
Enjoy.
Chapter three: Locked but doesn't speak
**
As Yami walked down the street he thought he heard something.
//I think that's Tara's voice// he said to Yugi.
//It is her and she sounds like she's in trouble, let's go!// said Yugi.
Yami ran back to the house. As he stopped by the front door he tried to open it but it was closed.
"Tara open up please!" he exclaimed banging on the door.
He could hear sobs inside and that made him get even worrier. He kept on banging the door and calling for her, having no result. Suddenly the lock on the door turned and it opened up. Yami entered and looked around, expecting to see Tara standing there. But strangely she wasn't.
Yami heard the sobs again and made his way to the kitchen just to find Tara on the floor with her face buried in hands. He instantly knelt by her and asked what happened.
"Marik Ishtar has my father imprisoned" answered Tara without looking at him but seemingly a little more calmed by the fact that a friend was with her.
"Marik" whispered Yami.
//Yami do something, make her stop crying// said Yugi.
//What do you want me to do?// asked Yami.
//For goodness sake, give her a hug or something, that will give her some comfort// answered Yugi //You can deal with a Shadow Game but you can't with a girl//.
Yami moved closer to Tara and gave her hug "Don't cry Tara, we'll find your father, I promise".
"Thank you for the comforting words, my Pharaoh" murmured Tara softly.
Yami moved away from her gently and focused his eyes on hers.
"How do you know I am a Pharaoh?" he asked.
"I know many things about you Yami, more than what you can ever imagine now. But you also happen to know me" answered Tara looking at him "But I know you can't remember me, perhaps this looks familiar to you".
She touched the chain around her neck and Yami looked at it. After a second or two of staring at it his eyes narrowed. Yes, he indeed remembered the chain.
"That is the Horus Chain!" he exclaimed.
"I see you remember my Item" smiled Tara "This is one of the Items you made after the Millenium Items, they happen to be more powerful than the ones you remember".
"You are…you are my Tera!" said Yami astonished.
Tara smiled again. Yes, that was the name of her past self.
"I'm glad you can remember my Pharaoh" replied Tara "Now, do you remember the powers of the Horus Chain?".
Yami thought for a moment "I can barely remember them, let's see…you can move things depending on the strength of your mind and also stop them. You are able to see the future without having an error, you can create illusions in anyone's mind without letting know to that person that you're doing it. You can also read anyone's mind and it has healing powers". (A/N: Just like my Millenium Item in my others stories, the Millenium Chain!)
"You remember all of its abilities Yami" smiled Tara.
"But how come you have a Horus Item? They were supposed to be hidden" said Yami, getting more interested by the moment.
"Well, you see I - " Tara was interrupted by the sound of the front door moving.
In the desperation Yami had left the door open. Both of them stood up slowly trying not to make a sound.
"There's someone inside the house besides us" breathed Tara as she looked attentively towards the living room.
Then some footsteps were heard. Yami and Tara stood still. It could be just about anyone. Then the person revealed itself.
"Marik" said Yami looking at a young man with platinum blonde hair, lavender colored eyes and tanned skin.
'He found me face to face!' thought Tara horror struck.
When she had turned ten she had begun to be chased by him everywhere she went to. But she always managed to escape from him, and he always managed to find her.
Now they had found each other face to face, finally after all of those years.
"Tara Kasuki, the slippery girl whom I've been following through six years" spoke Marik setting his eyes on her "We finally meet face to face".
"Marik Ishtar, I've heard so much about you, especially every time I kicked the butt out of the Rare Hunters you sent to chase me. I have my methods to make people give me the information I want" replied Tara matching his eyes.
Yami noticed that Tara had suddenly changed. Her attitude was like…the one of her past self, defiant when she was in danger, showing no fear and determined on what she had to do.
"I also have my methods to make people speak, like for example, I have your father captive and if you want to see him again you better come with me Tara" said Marik "And you Pharaoh, you better not try something or her father will suffer the consequences".
Tara's eyes narrowed. And Yami remembered something else, back then the one that was her father could take care of himself so he would be unharmed. But the one that is her father now is someone completely different.
"What do you want from me?" asked Tara.
"I want many things from you but I happen to need you at my side, so you have to come with me" answered Marik smirking evilly.
"And if she refuses?" asked Yami.
"She won't refuse if she wants to see her daddy again" answered Marik.
'How can someone so young be so evil?' thought Tara.
"Tara you don't have to go with him, we can find another way to free your father" said Yami turning to look at her.
"You're wrong my Pharaoh, the only way to free my father is going with him" replied Tara looking at Yami "And I will go with him".
Marik smirked as Tara walked towards him slowly but with a resolute pace. As she stood before him he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her towards his side.
"Good girl Tara, you have picked the right choice" said Marik looking at her "Now let's go".
He pulled her away with a firm grip leaving Yami there on the kitchen of the girl's house.
"Wait just a minute Marik!" commanded the former Pharaoh walking behind him.
"If you try something Yami, now Tara will suffer the consequences" replied Marik turning around and looking at him.
Yami froze as Marik walked away with Tara. Both walked out of the house and stood in front of a motorcycle.
"Put the helmet on" said Marik handing one to Tara.
The young girl took it without a word and put it on. She had totally forgotten about the powers of her Horus Chain.
"Climb" said Marik climbing on his motorcycle.
Tara did as told and Marik turned on the engine as Yami stood by the front door. Then both parted leaving Yami back on his friend's house.
//Yami we have to save Tara!// said Yugi to Yami as he appeared on a spirit form.
"I know Yugi but I don't know where is Marik going" replied Yami.
"We have to do something fast! We can't leave her with that guy, who knows what will he do to her!" said Yugi desperately.
"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do now Yugi, we can only wait for her to make contact with us using her Horus Item or if we find a Rare Hunter get some information" said Yami looking at his hikari "I'm sorry".
"Darn it!" exclaimed Yugi.
Marik stopped before an alley and climbed down his motorcycle. He looked at Tara.
"Put this on" he commanded handing her something to cover her eyes up.
'I can let a little space so I can look to where are we going' thought Tara.
"Wait, let me put it on" said Marik.
'Idea discarded' thought Tara 'Now what?'.
She took her helmet off and Marik blinded her sight. Then she put it on and he climbed the motorcycle. Tara tried to find Marik to get a hold of him as he rode.
"I'm here" he said taking both her hands and putting them around his waist.
The young girl got hold of him and they rode off again. Tara had no idea of how long they had been riding but after some time they stopped. She felt Marik climb down his motorcycle and someone took her helmet off. Then someone also took off the cloth that blinded her. Tara found herself in a pitch-black room.
"Let's take a stroll you and I" said Marik's voice as someone grabbed her by the arm.
Tara walked beside the person that was pulling her and then they suddenly stopped. The door that was before them opened and now Tara could see since light was present over there. She was pulled by Marik again down a corridor and they stopped before an iron door after a short walk.
'Don't tell me that you're locking me in there' thought Tara glancing at Marik.
"By the expression on your face I know what you're thinking Tara, yes, I'm locking you in there" said Marik looking at her with his lavender eyes.
He opened the door and pushed her in. Then he closed the door and locked it.
'Well, at least I'm not in this room with a psycho' thought Tara 'Now I will get out of here'.
She walked towards the door. There was an opening with bars in it and Tara looked outside. A Rare Hunter was guarding her door.
'Only one Rare Hunter, this will be more easier than what I thought' smiled Tara to herself 'Now I have to eliminate all the tension on my body'.
She stood in the center of the room and closed her eyes. Then she took several deep breaths and tried to relax. When she was in that state she opened her eyes again and focused her gaze on the door.
At the other side of the door, the Rare Hunter was standing by it when suddenly he thought her heard it tremble. He discarded the thought, thinking he was imagining things, and kept his pose by the door. But suddenly the door trembled again and some cracks started to be heard. The Rare Hunter actually panicked and called for Marik.
Inside the room Tara was trying to move the door from its original place only by looking at it. Suddenly the door opened and Marik walked inside. The young girl stopped her work and looked at him.
"What were you doing with the door?" he asked.
"Nothing" lied Tara.
She was such a good liar, she didn't get nervous neither started moving. She spoke normally. But that ability didn't seem to work with Marik for some reason.
"Tara, I know you were doing something with the door so tell me" said Marik looking at her with menacing eyes.
"I wasn't doing anything, I was standing here when you entered, besides there's no way I can have moved an iron door" replied Tara.
"If you are whom I want then you can move much more than iron" stated Marik closing the door behind him and approaching her.
"What are you talking about?" said Tara pacing back away from Marik.
"You will see soon enough" answered Marik still approaching her, now with a smirk drawn on his lips.
Tara's back collided softly with the wall. Now she couldn't move to escape from Marik. He stopped in front of her very close and pinned her shoulders to the wall.
"If you do as I say then nothing out of the ordinary will occur" he said looking into her eyes.
Tara moved her gaze away 'Oh if he touches me he will have a great deal of problems'.
Suddenly Marik pulled her forward and turned her around, so she was giving her back to him.
'What on Earth…?' thought Tara alarmed.
Then it hit her, she knew what he wanted. She felt as one of his hands raised her shirt a bit.
"Ah, here it is" said his voice "The symbol of the eyes of Horus".
At the lower parts of her back there was an Egyptian eye that looked like it was drawn. It was the symbol of Horus, his priests and priestesses in ancient Egypt used that symbol, and that was why they were called the eyes of Horus.
"So you are the reincarnation of the priestess that made the Horus Items for the Pharaoh back in ancient Egypt" said Marik's voice. "There was a prophecy that said that a girl with the Eye of Horus on her lower part of the back was the priestess herself, the only person that knew the location of the Horus Items. It was said that the god drew the symbol on her skin himself after she had received a dream indicating her destiny. That is why the symbol looks like it has been drawn just moments ago, they say it maintains in that state".
Tara stayed in silence. So he knew the truth now. She was the priestess herself from back then.
"Am I right?" asked Marik.
Tara didn't answer. Suddenly his hands made it to her waist from underneath the shirt.
"The prophecy also said the priestess was beautiful" he said.
Suddenly Tara turned around and shove him away.
"I have no idea of what you're talking about Marik Ishtar but I have one thing that I must make to you clear, don't ever touch me again the way you did" replied Tara looking at him.
"You are in no position to talk like that Tara Kasuki, I have you in my power and I also have your father, so you better do as I say" stated Marik looking at her with menacing eyes again "So I suggest you start speaking about the Items".
Tara didn't reply.
"Very well, you can take as long as you want for a period of time Tara, I know you won't get away from here since you are imprisoned and you father is at my mercy" said Marik turning around "But remember, what happens to your father you decide it".
He walked out of the room and closed the door behind it. Then he locked it and walked away.
Tara sat on the floor and let out a deep sigh. She was trapped with someone that had her father imprisoned and that wanted all the information she knew about something he was seeking. What else could happen? Tara didn't know it, but many changes were going to occur.

Neferi: End of chapter! I hope you liked it.
Tara: How come I didn't slap him for touching me?
Neferi: Because that would be too cruel for Marik, besides, he is one of my crushes ^-^.
Tara: I forgot about that and the fact that some of our reviewers would probably kill you for that.
Neferi: *Nods* Yeah, you're right, anyway, sorry for the cliffhanger again!
Tara: Please review and keep reading!
