=======================================

Pegasus had a wide smirk on his face as he pressed the blank card against you. You stared in shock as a flash of white appeared in your eyes, then a flash of green. You felt force push forward towards Pegasus, and you soon heard him gasp in shock. When the green light vanished, you saw Pegasus on the floor with his hand over his eye.

"...Unbelievable.." Pegasus mumbled,

"...What...What did you do just now?" You asked with shock,

"...You shouldn't be the one asking me that." Pegasus slowly stood, "...I'm lucky my Millenium Eye protected me from it before.." He mumbled and looked at you

"Pardon?" You raised an eyebrow,

"It's nothing of the sort." Pegasus brushed it aside and took your arm, "You are to come with me, no longer here."

"Then why did you take me here in the first place?" You asked,

"I lost track on where we should be headed; this castle is rather huge, so I tend to lose my way here."

"...Then why did you shove a blank card at my face?" You asked as Pegasus took your arm and lead you out of the dungeon,

"merely an accident."

"I can't simply brush aside the fact that you tried to do something that doesn't have a nice result for me, Pegasus." You raised an eyebrow as Pegasus stopped walking. He slowly turned to you with a small glare,

"...Ms. (y/n), might I ask you to forget what had just happened, and continue the day? Besides, I didn't give you a proper tour, so that is what we are going to do now."

"...No." You removed your arm off of Pegasus' hand and looked at him straight in the eye,

"What?" Pegasus turned around,

"I don't know what you did, but I have the gutsy feeling that you had the intention on harming me. I am not going anywhere with you." You shook your head and crossed your arms. Pegasus chuckled and looked at you with his hand on his hip,

"Ms. (l/n), I am providing you hospitality, and this is what I get in return?" Pegasus asked as he brushed his hair off his face - his Millennium Eye shining under the lantern above.

"What hospitality?" You raised an eyebrow, "You've done nothing but give me water and took me down here only to be confused."

"I apologize for you not getting enough hospitality, may we move on? Or do I have to ask Nymphi?"

You froze,

"Nymphi-?"

"I have your family in line, within seconds I can easily call some of my men over to your lovely sibling and take her over here." Pegasus said with a smirk slowly forming, "I can easily do that, should I find things getting harsh." He reached his hand out to you, "Now, Ms. (L/n), might I ask you take my hand?"

You stared at his hand and looked at him, you didn't like this, not at all. What's more concerning is how Pegasus brought up Nymphi and basically threatened you to move on from that and follow him around - like a mindless monkey. You bit your lip, this entire thing feels rushed, that's how you felt in this situation. But, you fear what would happen if Nymphi was taken by this man - who did something that would've been bad for you earlier. You had no choice, you said nothing as you took his hand.

"There we go, that was easy, wasn't it? It's easy to forgive, right?" Pegasus said with an innocent smile. He escorted you upstairs with a tight grip on your hand,

"Now, let's head over to my room. I have wine I would like to share with you during sunset. You would come, right? You are 23 years old, so you can drink." Pegasus gave you a warm smile and walked you to his room.

"Mr. Pegasus?" A guard met up with him in the front,

"Mhm?"

"Kaiba is ready to duel you."

Kaiba?

You looked at Pegasus who looked at you, then at the guard,

"Take her to her room." Pegasus instructed and turned to you, "I will pick you up later for some wine, hopefully before sunset. Until then~" He waved you farewell to the hands of the guard.

Pegasus is a rather strange man, you didn't like him at all.

That blank card was too weird, why would he aim it at you? Why was there white and green light-

Wait, green light,

The Seal.

The Seal must've done something during that moment, maybe that's why Pegasus is demanding you to move on. Is he scared? Maybe, maybe not, in the end, will the Seal ever tell you?

Probably not.

"And we're here." The guard opened the door to a rather elegant room. There were green drapes over a nice, yellow bed. The painting was light pink, it was rather colorful and elegant in some way. Some of the furniture was gold and looked rather Egyptian, which you found outstanding. You sat down on the chair that faced the egyptian-looking counter,

"It's pretty." You complimented Pegasus' taste in rooms.

"We also have your luggage, which my maids have cleared and organized here in the room for you. So you don't have to waste time unpacking."

"you don't have to-"

"Consider that as a way of an apology." The guard interrupted you and closed the door,

You watched the door close in silence. You stood up and looked at the counter once more. You noticed the border-line around the mirror had some green-ribbons in pattern you found hypnotizing. Your hand caressed the ribbons and gave a small sigh,

you came here to duel, not to be dragged around like a rag doll and being told what to do.

In a way, this reminded you of how Papa used to treat you back when you were little.

You walked to the golden drawer and opened it to find your personal items in; pajamas, tank tops, bras, underwear, and eye-patches. You sat down on the comfortable bed and stared at the eye-patches. Your hand went over to your eye that no longer has the eye-patch and gave a soft sigh.

Sometimes, you wished you didn't have this stupid Seal on you. You changed into your pajamas and looked out the window. It was rather a beautiful view, it was the forest-area with the sea just up ahead. The sun that was slowly coming down made the scene look rather fantastic. To add on, it was quiet. You preferred somewhere as quiet as this. It gives you time to reflect on things, like earlier with Pegasus. The Seal probably did something with him, and now Pegasus is acting all 'move on and pretend like it's nothing' thing.

You gently pushed yourself away from the window and plopped yourself on the bed. You could leave your room and make an adventure of your own, but you aren't really in the mood for that. Besides, Pegasus could really snatch Nymphi, and that's the last thing you want. You picked up a book that was on the desk near the bed and opened it up to read.

An hour or 2 passed, and you heard a knock on the door. You closed the book and looked at the door to see Pegasus with a smile,

"(y/n), would you like to accompany me with a cup of wine?" Pegasus asked,

"Do I have a choice?" You asked and got off of the bed.

"Smart girl," Pegasus winked at you, "Let us leave."

"Right," You narrowed your eyes and took his hand. He walked you down to the hall and to the left for his room. His room was the same as yours, rather bigger and looked more fancier than yours. He walked you to the balcony and sat you down on the table outside. He gives you a glass of wine and takes out his bottle. He fills it half-way and sits down himself to fill his own. You take a deep breath and looked at the sunset,

"It's beautiful..." You smiled,

"Indeed it is," He nodded in agreement with a smile,

"Did you win?" You looked at Pegasus and watched him nod,

"Of course, I did."

"So, you use your eye to win?"

"Smarter than I thought," He chuckled as he took a sip,

"Isn't that cheating?" You raised an eyebrow,

"You underestimate me, Ms. (l/n)," Pegasus sighed with a small smirk, "I have an intention to win."

"Aha, so Kaiba is a good duelist." You looked at the sunset,

"And what do you mean by that?"

"You had to cheat your way in order to beat Kaiba. That means if you didn't use your eye, you would've lost." You smirked at him and held your drink. After taking a sip, you put the cup down and watched him huff.

"Kaiba is a rather good duelist, he dueled me in order to get his brother back."

"So you do have Mokuba here, where is he?" You asked,

"You would run if I tell you where," He smirked at you,

"Try me." You crossed your legs and arms. He chuckled,

"Wait here," He got up and went inside his room. You watched him with an eyebrow raised, is Mokuba in his room? Pegasus came out with a card in his hand,

"...What's that?"

"This, my dear ma'am, is Mokuba." he flipped the card to reveal Mokuba's image in the card. You stared at the card in shock,

"I trapped his soul in here, something I was going to do to you, however, something stopped the process." Pegasus pointed at his eye that holds the Millennium Item.

"I assume the Seal stopped you?"

"It was going to take my soul," Pegasus shivered as he sat down, "I felt my very own consciousness slip away as I was trying to take yours. I had to pull back, otherwise my soul would've been the Orichalcos' dinner." He sighed and took another sip of his wine.

"So? What are the duels for tomorrow?" You asked

"Yugi will duel Mai, as Joey will due Keith." Pegasus answered, "The winners of the duels will verse each other before me."

"I can see you're excited." You rolled your eyes,

"Yes, I am, actually. I can't wait to duel Yugi~"

"What if he loses?" you asked,

"Oh please, with the Millennium Puzzle around his neck, he'll never lose until he duels me." Pegasus smirked, "It's gonna be a fine day for me tomorrow,"

You watched the sunset in silence.

~ ~

After Pegasus escorts you to your room, he tapped your shoulder,

"You can be as comfortable as you please, Ms. (L/n)." Pegasus gave you a smile, "You can take off the eye-patch."

"I am comfortable," You smiled back, "The eye-patch stays on."

"As you wish," Pegasus smiled and closed the door. You walked to the bed and exhaled,

Sometimes you wished everything could just go away...

....

"(y/n)..."

Your eye awoke to someone calling your name. The area around you was navy blue mixed with lavender. You walked around,

"Hello? Is someone there?" You called out,

"(y/n)..." The voice sounded soothing and calming to you. You felt the obligation to follow it,

"Who are you?"

"(Y/n), liste n to me !"

"What?" You blinked,

"(Y/n)!" You saw a black figure stand around a few feet away from you. You blinked,

"Hello?" You watched the figure reach out it's hand to you,

"Come...you're not safe here...come with me.." The voice calmly spoke. You looked at the hand, then back at the figure,

"Why? Who are you?" You asked,

"I am-" The figure was interrupted when a familiar green light shined right infront of you. You stared at the green light, as a roar was heard from it,

"You can't escape me." it murmured. You stared in shock, as the Seal laughed and attacked you completely.

"NOO!" You screamed with the top of your lungs. You stared at the room to realize it was all a dream.

A rather scary dream, not scary enough to consider it as a nightmare. It was a short dream, but it was enough to tell you one thing.

You're not safe here.

You put on the eye-patch and changed into another pair of clothing you found in the closet. You fixed your hair and opened the door to find Pegasus right in front of you. You gasped and took a step back,

"Pegasus-"

"I heard you scream, are you okay?" Pegasus asked, "Yeah...I had a nightmare," You answered, "It's all good."

"...As long as you say it's fine, then it is." Pegasus sighed, "Are you hungry? I have breakfast waiting for you in the dining hall."

"Oh, th-thanks?"

"And I have coffee waiting for you."

"Lead the way." You blinked with a small smile. Pegasus chuckled and lead you to the dining room for breakfast. The chefs made a delicious omelette with a bowl of fruits and a cup of milk. You looked at the chef and thanked him dearly for the meal,

"Now, to watch the due-"

"Actually, I was hoping you would take a look around the place, have your own adventure." Pegasus recommended, "You can create your own sense of fun, better than watching some duel."

"But...but Yugi-"

"Who cares? Imagine all the fun, besides, I heard the garden is rather lovely. Don't you want Nymphi to have a rose? Something that she would love?"

"....of course you would have Nymphi into this.." You mumbled and stood up, "Where is the garden?"

"Someone will escort you there, until then~" Pegasus waved as one of the guards began to escort you to the garden.

Pegasus wasn't wrong, the garden is beautiful. You walked around the bushes and stared at the beautiful flowers.

There was a pale stone trail, with bushes of roses on each side of the road. It was as if you were in a castle.

Oh wait, you were. You sighed and walked into a nice simple pale white table, with basic white chairs. On the table was a light blue cover that hovered the glass table, and ontop of the cover was a Chinese Tea set. The whole table and chairs was lightly covered by a white fence with a trail of green grass and lillies. The sunlight shined through the fence over the table and made it look absolutely stunning. You walked to the table and stared at it in awe, never have you found anything so beautiful. You walked away from the tea table to look around more. Your eyes immediately latched onto a certain flower and smiled big,

"Crinums!" You gasped and ran to those. Those flowers were absolute favorites of Nymphi's. Your fingers began to twiddle, is it okay to take one? Two? Maybe you can ask Pegasus once he's done with the tournament. Nymphi would love this, you were sure of it.

"(y/n)!" A voice called out to you. You blinked and looked at the direction of the voice.

"(y/n)! Where are you?" The voice called out. You slowly sat up and raised an eyebrow,

"Who are you?" You called out, "I won't tell you where I am if you don't-"

"You already told me where you are by speaking." The voice came from behind the table. You turned rapidly to see the one person who you haven't seen in a while.

Yugi.

However, this isn't the Yugi you met back in the ship, this is the other Yugi you've been sensing.

"...Shouldn't you be dueling with Mai?" You asked,

"The duel ended, there is a small intermission before I fight Pegasus.."

"What about Joey?"

"He won against Keith, who cheated." He answered,

"Shouldn't you be with your friends before the final duel?" You asked

"I had to see you first, to make sure you're okay."

"You're concerned for me?" You blinked,

"Why shouldn't I?" He tilted his head,

"We only just met, Yugi." You raised an eyebrow, "I am not even close to you guys yet, you should head back and support your actual friends."

"Did we really just met?" Yugi asked and crossed his arms,

"Well, we met at the boat on the way here, so technically we didn't just meet." You crossed your arms,

"Basic and straight-forward." He chuckled,

"Don't like it?" You raised an eyebrow,

"It's apart of you, just like the-" He was interrupted when a few shouts were heard,

"Yugi!" That sounds like Tea, "It's time!"

"It is?" Yugi turned around and looked at the direction of Tea's voice. Even though he turned around, you felt he was staring at you.

"Yeah! Everyone is looking for you!" Tea was finally seen. She stopped and stared, "....and you're with (y/n)."

"Tea!" You clasped your hands together with a smile, "You guys made it here!"

"Yeah...we did." Her eyebrows furrowed, "What happened here?"

"What do you mean?" Yugi asked, now the Yugi you met at the boat.

"You know what I mean," Tea stomped her foot, "What- ugh, Yugi, come on! You have to verse Pegasus!"

"Tea?" You blinked, "is something wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong, let's go." Tea took Yugi's hand,

"Wait! (Y/n), do you want to come with us? I am sure you want to see the duel."

"Oh, uh...sure!" Completely denying what Pegasus asked, you walked with Yugi and Tea back inside the castle and over to the tournament arena.

"Heyyy! It's my home-girl, (y/n)!" You heard Joey chuckle as an arm was wrapped around your back. You turned to see the blonde teenager with a big smile on his face.

"Joey..." You blinked and heard knuckles crack from behind.

"Joey Wheeler." Tea mumbled as Joey immediately had his hands off of you.

"Ehe...sorry..."

"(y/n)?" You saw a white-haired boy stare with wide eyes,

"M-My name is Bakura." He introduced himself,

"Oh yeah, this is Bakura, he is a good friend of ours" Tristan slammed his hand against Bakura's back. You blinked and watched Bakura wince a little,

"That kinda hurt, Tristan." Bakura mumbled.

"He came with us not long after Pegasus took you to the castle." Tristan explained and gave you a small smile. You returned that smile and looked at Bakura to notice something off with him. Honestly, first you felt that with Yugi, then Pegasus, and now this boy who looks innocent enough to not even harm a fly. What's up with these boys?! You exhaled softly as Pegasus walked in the tournament room and gasped when he saw you,

"Ms. (y/n)! What are you doing here?"

"Watching the finale." You blinked at Pegasus,

"Why, the garden didn't satisfy you enough?" He asked as guards escorted Yugi over to the other side of the duel.

"No, it did, long enough for me to miss the semi-finals." You shrugged, "I will come back after the finals, okay?" You tilted your head and watched Pegasus shrug,

"So be it." He mumbled and started the duel.

Pegasus was really good at the game, you admitted that. However, the thought of Pegasus using the Millenium Eye as a cheat-cheat made you think otherwise. Because of that, Yugi kept losing points. You remembered why Yugi came to the tournament, to get his Grandpa back.

Maybe Pegasus took Yugi's Grandpa's soul too, you wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

However, you were so concentrated on the duel, you didn't notice a pair of evil eyes staring at your figure, with a smirk, and a plan forming in his brain.

"(y/n), let's go to the upper gallery so we can see the duel better." Tea gently touched your shoulder. You nodded and went with Joey and Tea to soon notice Tristan and Bakura aren't following.

"What about them?"

"They have something else to do, something important." Joey vaguely answered. You raised an eyebrow, but shrugged. You didn't want to poke in other's business, besides, you get to watch the finals.

And it was so worth it, because Yugi miraculously won.

You, Tea, Joey, and Tristan (who came back) cheered. Tea, Joey, and Tristan ran down to congratulate Yugi personally, as you sat back and took a huge sigh.

What are you going to do now, the tournament is over and all you did was sit there and allow yourself to be transported around like a doll. Wow. Good job, (y/n).

Hopefully, you'll be able to have an actual duel soon, you weren't sure when, but hopefully soon.

"Hey! Up there!" You heard a voice close by call out. You turned your head to see Bakura waving with a smile,

"Hello!"

"Bakura!" Yugi called out with a smile,

"Hey, there! Feeling back to normal?" Tristan asked,

"What? Back to normal? Have I not been normal before, Tristan?" Bakura asked,

"Yeah, that weird ring you wear around your neck was makin' you act like a real freak again!"

weird ring around your ne-

You froze and stared at Bakura in shock.

"Oh, his Millenium Ring? Where is it now?" Yugi asked Tristan,

"I chucked it far away." Tristan replied,

"Oh well...if it was making me all weird, then it was a good reason you tossed it away."

No....No that isn't possible. You stared at Bakura, both Pegasus and Yugi are cherishing their items like a baby. How is it that Bakura is allowing Tristan to throw away the ring out to the wild? Plus, if Tristan removed that ring,

Why do you still feel that unknown malice presence inside of him?

"Great! Can you stay and keep watch on Mokuba while we're gone?" Tea asked

Mokuba-

Mokuba Kaiba. He's here? You were so focused on the duel you barely noticed things around you.

"Sure."

With that, the group left.

You stared at Bakura with caution and slowly made your way over to Mokuba - who seemed unconscious.

"Ms. (y/n)? You're walking slow.." Bakura blinked,

"...How about you go outside and take a breather. It looks like you went through a lot." You compromised,

"I am fine, why do you ask?"

"I can keep watch of Mokuba. I'm sure you want to see where the group is going. They are probably going to Pegasus, and I think you'll want to see him too." You raised an eyebrow

"...If you say so, are you sure?" Bakura blinked,

"Positive. Go." You shooed the boy away and watched him leave. You took a sigh of relief and sat down beside Mokuba. You placed him gently on your lap and exhaled.

You hated sitting around and doing nothing, but what else are you supposed to do?

It wasn't long before Bakura came back. Let's say around, what, 5 minutes?

"You're back quickly." You blinked,

"I couldn't find anyone and I didn't want to get lost." Bakura chuckled nervously and sat down next to you.

"Ah, this place is rather big, too big for my liking." You laughed.

"Right?" Bakura agreed with you and nodded.

"...you know, you look kinda creepy with that eye-patch on" Bakura randomly pointed out. You blinked and looked at him,

"Why do you have it on?" Bakura asked,

"...I had an accident when I was a kid." You partially lied, "....and well,"

"Oh...sorry...it's just when I first saw you, the first thing that kept me off guard was the eye-patch. I've been meaning to ask of it, but I never got the chance."

"Well, now you do." You laughed nervously and heard Mokuba groan. You looked down and watched him slowly wake up.

"Morning sleeping beauty." You blinked and watched Mokuba's violet eyes look up at you, then widen.

"...(y-y/n)-"

"is Mokuba okay?" You heard Tea scream. You glanced to see Joey, Tristan and Tea running,

"Yeah, he's fine." Bakura nodded.

"(y/n)!" Mokuba rolled off of your lap and gave you a hug, "You're here! I only read on the lists that you are here, but I couldn't find you!"

"I was uh....being dragged around." You patted Mokuba's back in return.

"...Mokuba, you know (y/n)?" Tristan asked,

"Yup," Mokuba looked at Tristan wearily and smiled, "Seto and (y/n)'s grandfather are close pals thanks to their partnership."

"Is that so?" Tristan looked at you,

"Yeah." Mokuba nodded,

"Is Mokuba okay?" Yugi cried out as he ran over to Mokuba.

"Yup, Pegasus kept his word, he's good."

"I'm not leaving without Seto." Mokuba shook his head rapidly and looked at you,

"I am sure Seto is fine, I bet he's looking for you." You booped Mokuba's nose.

"Yugi Motou, Joey Wheeler, your prizes." A security guard came in with a box.

"(y/n), are you going to come with Seto and I back?" Mokuba asked, "It's been a while since you came over."

"Well, if it's fine with Seto Kaiba then-"

"I am sure he'll allow it!" Mokuba's eyes were shining as he got up. "I mean, why would he say no?"

"He could, you never know."

"Well, I doubt it. Come on!" Mokuba took your hand and ran out. The others followed.

------

"Seto! Seto, where are you? It's me, Mokuba!" Mokuba cried out as he went down the stairs outside the castle.

"Where is he?" Yugi asked and scratched the back of his head.

"He could be any-" You were interrupted when the castle gates opened. Your eyes latched onto the tall boy with the long-ass purple cape.

Yep, that's Seto Kaiba for you, except he's smiling.

You shuddered silently despite everyone all happy in stuff. Kaiba never really smiles, you've never seen him smile before.

You considered when after your grandfather officially partnered with Kaiba, but he smirked rather than smiled.

And those 2 are completely different things.

"I never stopped thinking about you, Seto." Mokuba said with a big teary-eyed smile,

"Neither did I, Mokuba." Kaiba patted his shoulders and stood up to look at Yugi,

"Thank you for helping my brother out. I deeply appreciate it." He thanked Yugi,

"Of course," Yugi nodded in agreement. Kaiba's eyes latched onto you

"(y/n)."

"Seto." You raised an eyebrow,

"I heard from your grandfather you were here, how was the tournament?"

"never actually dueled, was tossed around like a doll." You shrugged your shoulders. Joey gave a small laugh but was smacked by Tea,

"Well, unfortunately, you're going to be dragged one more time." Kaiba shook his head,

"What do you mean?" You tilted your head and Mokuba gave a big smile,

"Will she be accompanying with us?" Mokuba asked and watched his brother nod. "YES!" He cheered and ran to you for a big hug.

"Really? You mean it?" You looked at Kaiba in shock,

"As a loyal partner to your grandfather, I find no problem for you staying with us. Plus, it's rare for you being here in Japan."

"The last she was here was when her grandpa came by a couple of months back!" Mokuba nodded his head and looked at you with a bright smile, "You're going to love it here because you aren't here for only business!" He took your arm and lead you over to Seto.

"Yugi, we aren't finished with the duel. Some-day, the real duel will begin, and one of us will walk away with the true name of the King of Games." Kaiba looked at Yugi who nodded his head.

"Come on, Mokuba, (y/n), let's go."

"Yes! We're going home!" Mokuba said with absolute delight. Before you were able to walk out with Kaiba and Mokuba, you felt someone grab your arm. You turn to see Yugi looking at you,

"...If you want, you can return with us." Yugi whispered, "You can stay with us, there's no problem."

You blinked, "...Yugi, as much as I wouldn't mind, I already promised Mokuba in a way. Besides, I am still going to be here, we can chat whenever." You removed Yugi's hand from your arm and took another step forward,

"Are you sure?" Yugi asked,

"Positive." You nodded and caught up with Mokuba. "I'm sure we'll meet again!" You waved at Yugi and the gang and took off in Kaiba's helicopter.

....

"Sorry, Yami." Yugi looked at his other spirit, "I couldn't force her to stay with us."

"No, it's fine, Yugi." Yami sighed and crossed his arms,

"Why do you want her so much? After all, we only just met." Yugi tilted his head,

"....I don't know, but I have to see her." Yami clenched his fists, "Something tells me this girl is special."
