Summary: Something happens where Tea is trapped within the Millennium Puzzle and with Yami. Can they find a way, with the help of the others, to free Tea before she vanishes forever?
Chapter One- Trapped in the Puzzle
Rain hit sharply against the game shop windows as the four friends sat in the living room. Tea and Yugi tried to find something to watch on TV, while Joey and Tristan sat on the floor dueling one another.
"Hey, I won! I finally beat ya Tristan!" Joey yelled victoriously as Tristan laid back against the couch.
"I let you win Joey after you lost the last four times," he said, but his blonde friend was too far gone in his victory that he didn't hear him.
"Hey Yug, you wanna duel? I'm on a roll here!" he laughed.
"No thanks Joey, I'm not in the mood," his small friend responded.
"You okay?" Tristan asked.
"Yeah, I'm just worried about the Pharaoh. He's been so busy trying to unlock his past that he hasn't spoken to me in three days," Yugi explained.
"It must be hard for him. I can't imagine not knowing anything about myself," Tea spoke up. Everyone nodded in agreement and sat in silence as the rain outside became violent. When the wind began to howl, everyone turned their attentions to the developing storm.
"The weather is much to fierce out there for you three to walk home and the roads are beginning to look too dangerous to drive on, so you're all going to stay here tonight," Grandpa Mutou said as he entered the room, "Joey and Tristan, you can stay in Yugi's room. Tea, I'll prepare the guest room for you."
"Thank you," they all said before falling back into a comfortable silence. After a few minutes however, Joey's voice broke it.
"Ya know, I've been wondering something. What's it like to live in this thing?" he asked as he tapped the puzzle around Yugi's neck.
"I don't know what it's like for the Pharaoh because we both have our own soul rooms where we stay when the other is in control. But I can't exactly explain it," Yugi said.
"I think it would be weird to share my body with another soul. I mean it's like a completely different personality who can take over you at any time," Tristan said.
"Well, we only switch when necessary," Yugi explained.
"You mean like when you're too tired to sit through class? I've seen Yami in your place plenty of times," Tea responded. The other two laughed at Yugi's embarrassed blush before everything began to sober again. After a few more minutes of talking about random subjects, everyone decided it was time to call it a night.
/oo/
Tea pulled the covers over herself and stared at the ceiling. She wore the same clothes she had on that day since they were one a pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt. The only sound in the room was the rain beating against the window violently. Faintly, she could hear Joey and Tristan snoring loudly in the room next to her.
'I wonder what Yami is doing right now,' she thought to herself. Though everyone now referred to him as 'The Pharaoh', she still preferred his old name. Just like Joey, she too wondered what it was like to live in the puzzle. Did he ever get lonely? Even if he and Yugi would always switch places? Eventually her thoughts lulled her to sleep, unaware of the dark presence approaching…
/oo/
( A few hours later)
Tea woke up in, what looked like, a dark hallway.
'Where am I?' she thought as she stood and walked towards the first room where a bright light flooded from. It looked like a child's room with some toys around the area and a bright light like the sun was shining through. She turned around and noticed a closed door with strange carvings on it. Curiosity got the best of Tea and she slowly pushed the door open and stepped inside.
It was an endless maze of doors and stairs. Some stairs were upside down and sideways, as were some of the doors. It was infinite.
"What is this place?" Tea whispered as she began her trek through the dark corridors. Every hallway looked the same as the last and soon Tea found herself utterly lost.
'Great job Tea. Now what?' she scolded herself as she looked around at her surroundings.
"Tea?" she heard a familiar, deep voice ask, shocked. Tea spun around and met the amethyst eyes of the Pharaoh.
"Y-Yami!" she exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you the very same thing," he said calmly.
"Where are we?"
"Inside the millennium puzzle," was the answer she got. Tea sat down on nearby stairs, processing what he had just said.
'I'm dreaming. I must be dreaming," she thought to herself. She looked up at Yami and noticed that he was wearing a pair of light blue pajamas.
"My attire tends to change with whatever Yugi wears. It's a strange thing about the bond," he explained, noticing her stare. He took a seat next to her, causing Tea to try and refrain from blushing at the closeness, "Now back to my earlier question: what are you doing here?" he asked, bringing Tea from her thoughts.
"I don't know, maybe I'm dreaming…OW!" Tea jumped away from Yami and rubbed her arm where he had just pinched her, "What was that for?" she asked.
"I remember Joey once saying that to see if you are dreaming, you pinch yourself and if you feel it, then you're awake," he explained, "By your reaction, it's safe to say that you are very much awake."
"How did I get here?" she asked after a few moments of silence.
"Your guess is as good as mine. But I'll tell you this, I do not have a good feeling about it," he said as he stood, "Come on, we should give you a soul room until we figure this out."
He began to walk away as Tea followed him, trying to understand the twists and turns of the halls.
"Where is your soul room?" she asked, unable to take the thick silence that had fallen over them.
"We're waking in it," he answered, gesturing to the entire illusionary maze, "You can use one of the empty rooms as your soul room."
"What exactly is a soul room?"
"It's a room that will preserve your soul. It will also take form of where you feel most comfortable. It will act as a temporary arrangement for you due to your situation. As soon as Yugi awakens, we can start getting you back into the real world," Yami explained. Tea looked around and thought of what he had said. If a soul room takes the form of where you're most comfortable, why was it such a dark place here for him?
'It must be because of his lost memories, he doesn't know where his safe place is,' she thought to herself, feeling bad for the Pharaoh. Then something came to her mind.
"Yami, what happens if you don't have a soul room?" she asked.
"You'll begin to fade away until you no longer exist," he said in a grave voice.
