It had been two months since the massacre at the Kaiba Mansion. Two months since every servant, bodyguard, cook, garden keeper, and dishwasher had been brutally murdered. Two months since the vice president of Kaiba Corp, who had witnessed the horrible tragedy, had spoken, and two months since the president of Kaiba Corp, had been seen alive. The only remaining bodyguard/ personal assistant still alive, was Roland, who had been away, his only sick day the entire year, luckily for him, at the time of the crimes, footage surfaced of him buying some cold medicine at a local store. Before that he had been the prime suspect, now the police had no leads. Roland was now acting vice president, and Mokuba Kaiba was president, though only in title as all he did was sit there, silently, day after day, waiting for his brother to return.
Tea growled, turning off the T.V., still no helpful information. Yami cautiously wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him, when he found out at the hospital, that Tea had picked him he was thrilled. But when he found out, exactly why she had fainted, his heart sank. What was worse, was that Mokuba had barred her from ever stepping foot on the Kaiba premises again, and if he was found, she was not allowed to see him, if his body was found she could not attend the funeral. So she sat there day, after day, staring the screen.
"Tea, I'm sure he's alive somewhere giving somebody hell." Yami said as she sobbed into his shirt.
"Are you kidding me, he's been missing for two months, he, there calling it a murder investigation, murder! When your murder someone they die!" Tea shouted. She hiccupped and buried her face into his chest. "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to yell at you." She whispered. Their thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. Yami stood up to answer.
"Hey Yug', is Tea doing any betta?" Joey asked Yami shook his head and motioned for Joey and Tristan to come in. They slipped off their shoes, and then sat next to Tea who was hugging her knees to her chest. "Hey Tea, I brought ya something." Joey said holding out a small necklace. Tea grabbed it and examined it, it was shaped like an oval, and was gold, it felt heavy, and shone brilliantly, the chain was long and delicate, and even the clasp was ornate. Tea noticed it was a locket, and when she opened it, a picture of Kaiba and her, kissing was inside.
"Joey where did you, how could you afford?" Tea said stunned.
"Well it took a bunch a double shifts to pay fer it, and as for the picture, well the tabloids were full of youse guys, I just buy the prints from dem, I got full sized ones if ya want 'em, I certainly don't want em, I personally can't stand da guy." Joey said shrugging .Tea wrapped her arms around his neck. Joey and Kaiba had gotten into a horrible spat, and Joey had even hatched a plan to ruin his life, and get Tea to dump him at the same time, but his disappearance became bigger than all of that. Now all he offered was his support and a million apologies every day.
"You really didn't have to do this." Tea said, before bursting into a new set of tears, the picture brought back so many memories.
"Its da least I could do after the way I acted." Joey said, "Now c'mon, we're leaving, I ain't gonna watch ma friend sit around here and mope all day." Joey said offering her a hand up. Tea shook her head, no. Tristan frowned and picked her up, and slung her over his shoulder.
"Sorry Tea, but two months is enough time to sit and grieve, he might not even be dead, and if he is sitting around all day is not going to bring him back, heck it's a disgrace to his memory because he wouldn't want that! Besides, being all grumpy was his job, the whole reason you two were together was that whole opposites attract thing anyway!" Tristan shouted.
"Put me down!" Tea said hitting him on the back.
"Nope, sorry can't do that, let's go guys." Tristan said. Yugi and Joey nodded, shouted to her parents where they were leaving and taking Tea with them, then left. Plopping her into his car, Tristan tied her to the chair. Then they sped off down the road. Tristan stopped at a cheesy pizza joint called Luigi's Pizza and untying Tea walked in. Tea refused however to budge from her seat. Frowning, Joey pulled her out the seat by force, and Tristan stopped her from hitting him in the back.
"LET ME GO, I DON'T WANT ANY STUPID PIZZA, YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT ME A LOCKET I HAVE TO DO WHATEVER YOU SAY, WELL YOU CAN JUST FORGET IT!" Tea shouted.
"I swear Tea, you're certifiable." Tristan said, as she swatted him on the arm.
"Tea, quit movin' around, ya gonna make me drop ya!" Joey sighed, forcing her to sit in a chair. The cashier looked at Yami, who sweat dropped.
"One large pepperoni and four cokes please." Yugi said sheepishly, as Yami had retreated into the millennium puzzle laughing, letting Yugi handle the situation was much less aggravating.
"One large pepperoni pizza, three cokes, and a tranquilizer for the lady, right?" The cashier asked, snickering. Yugi blushed, and laughed, as the cashier rang up his order, and Yugi paid for the meal. "Your order will be right up."
Yugi silently took a seat across from Tristan, and next to Joey, Tristan was boxing Tea in. "I'm not hungry." Tea said, crossing her arms over chest when the pizza arrived. Her stomach however, betrayed her, and started rumbling. When was the last time she had a decent sized meal? Taking a piece she nibbled on a slice, and then took progressively bigger bites, she stopped when she noticed that six pairs of eyes were watching her.
"What are you guy waiting for, dig in." Tea prompted, not needing to be told twice, Tristan and Joey put one slice in her plate, two in Yugi, and began splitting the last three between each other, however it didn't divide equally, and the two began fighting over who got the last slice. Tea smiled softly, and Yugi beamed, that was the first time she had smiled in two months.
"See, I told you, you needed to get out of the house." Yugi said. Tea sniffed and nodded.
"Thanks Yugi, it's just so hard you know, I miss him so much, and the worse thing is not knowing where he is, if he's okay, if he's…" Tea said trailing off, she couldn't say it. She squeezed her dancer necklace and locket tight. Yugi placed a sympathetic hand on her hand, and gave a soft squeeze.
"I'm sure he's fine, dat arrogant bxxxxxx wouldn't let no kidnappa kill him, he's probably jus, um, in some other country or somethin' takin' a vacation, he probably doesn't even know wat's goin' on 'round here." Joey said placing a hand on her shoulder. Tristan smirked, gulping down the extra slice while Joey was talking.
"Err, Tristan!" Joey shouted.
"Oh, were you going to eat that?" Tristan asked, smirking. Joey reached across the table, to put Tristan in a headlock, causing his soda to spill onto his lap. Tristan fell on the ground as a questionable looking stain now adorned Joey's pants. Joey growled and started trying to pour Tristan's soda on him; but Tristan grabbed it and gulped it all down before he could, beat Joey scowled and sat down. Tea and Yugi laughed at their friend's antics. The group sat there until closing time, when they were kicked out laughing.
"Where to next?" Tristan asked.
"Home fer me, I gotta work tomorrow." Joey said, kicking a stone.
"Can, we go, for a walk, maybe in the park?" Tea asked. Tristan nodded, and after dropping Joey off at home, and making sure he was o.k. they took off. They walked in silence for awhile, each concentrating on their own thoughts. Tea stopped.
"This was a bad idea." Tea said suddenly turning around.
"There's just so many memories here, over there was where I fell down crying after we temporarily broke up, and over there, we, watched the sunset together." Tea said pointing out a hill, with a perfect view of the sun.
"C'mon, let's take you home." Tristan said, grabbing her by the hand, and leading her gently as she started to cry. Yami watched in silence then looked up at the moon.
"You know, Tea, I'm going to tell you something that somebody once told me. Look up at the moon." He said, staring up at it.
"If Kaiba's alive, no matter where he is, he is still looking up at the same moon you are, so just remember that when you start to feel lonely." Yami said. Tea looked up at the sky.
"Thanks Yami, but I'm not even sure he can see the moon, even if he's alive." Tea said softly. Yami gave her a sympathetic look, and then wrapped an arm around her.
"I'm sure he is." Tristan said, "He has to be, he's just too stubborn to die like this."
Yugi nodded in agreement, and got in the car. "You guys, thanks for trying to cheer me up." Tea said, fastening her seatbelt, "It really means a lot to me."
"No problem Tea, that's what friends are for." Yami said. Tea rested her head on his shoulder, as Tristan took off down the road.
A/n: And so part two begins, and with a cliffy no less. If your confused by what's going on, read Karaoke nights, a lot of stuff went down, but I'm trying my best to make it where you don't have to read the first one to get this one, however with the type of story this is…I don't really know if that's possible.
