I hadn't planned on making this fic completely Tea-bashing, but I changed my mind. A lot of Tea-bashing in this chapter.
Chapter 4- Retribution
Heba stood in his room getting ready for school that day. 'I hope that I can make it through this day with all that has been happening.' Heba thought. He let out a sigh as he grabbed the school's jacket to go with the uniform and put it on.
There was a knock on his door.
"Come in." Heba said.
Solomon walked in and said, "Heba, you do not have to go to school today if you do not wish to."
"I know, Grandpa, but if Yugi found out that I missed school to sit at the hospital with him, he'd kill me, and I rather like being here." Heba said. He was trying to be amusing, but the sadness that he was feeling was obvious.
"All right, Heba. If you feel that you can't deal with being there, then just call me, and I'll call the school to tell them to let you go home." Solomon said.
Heba nodded. "I will, grandpa. Just call me if there is any change. Good or bad." Heba told him.
"You're the first person that I will call." Solomon assured him.
Heba nodded and grabbed his school bag before heading downstairs with his grandfather.
Yami, Atemu, Kyla, Sayora, Leo, and Yuesei were already in the kitchen.
"Morning, Heba. I just got breakfast ready." Kyla said.
Heba nodded and sat down to eat.
"Heba, if anyone causes you any trouble today, just let us know." Atemu said.
"So that you can beat them up, of course." Heba said.
"Well, we all know that you won't fight them unless they attack you, so we'll do it for you." Yami said.
"I have a class with one of you all day, so someone's going to be there." Heba said.
"Yeah, but we have some damage control to do." Sayora said.
Heba blinked. "What do you mean?" Heba asked.
"Sayora! You weren't supposed to mention that!" Leo hissed.
"Oops." Sayora said, covering her mouth.
Solomon frowned. "What's going on? I don't want anymore secrets in my house." Solomon said.
"Well, after you left the living room yesterday when you told us about that accident, we told Tea that she was going to have to tell the school the truth, or she'd be dealing with Yami and me. Well, she said that she would fix things and left, but none of us think that she's going to do a thing." Atemu said.
"We're worried that she might try and make things worse." Yami said.
"So, we're going to tell the whole school that Tea lied." Kyla added.
"Payback?" Solomon asked.
"It can't be considered payback when all we are doing is telling the truth." Yami said defensively.
"Yami, you want revenge." Heba said softy.
"Okay. Maybe I do want her to pay for what she did, but in reality, all we're doing is telling the truth." Yami said.
"He does have a point, Grandpa. They are being truthful." Leo said.
"Yes, but you are doing it for the wrong reasons." Solomon said.
"Actually, we want her to admit that she lied, but we know she won't, so we're doing things ourselves. Besides, all we really want is for Yugi and Heba's reputations to be restored." Sayora said.
"It's going to take more than that to do something like that." Heba said.
"Maybe, but it's a start at least." Atemu said.
"I don't know. What do you think, Heba?" Solomon asked.
"How can I help?" Heba asked.
"You approve of this?" Atemu asked.
"She destroyed too many things in our lives, and I'm not sure that she's as remorseful as she tried to make herself seem yesterday." Heba said.
"Then I guess we'll have to rethink how we do this." Yami said.
"I actually have an idea if you'd like to hear it." Heba said.
"Are you sure about this, Heba?" Solomon asked.
"Grandpa, the real reason that I am doing this is that her actions drove Yugi to almost get raped and try to kill himself. Grandpa, if she hadn't lied, those things wouldn't have happened." Heba said.
Solomon sighed. "I must admit that I want her to pay for what she did as much as you all do." Solomon said.
"So, we can do this, and not get in trouble." Yami ventured.
"As long as you don't anything to her physically, I don't care." Solomon said.
"Well, we won't, but we can't speak for the rest of the student body." Atemu said.
"So, what's your idea, Heba?" Kyla asked
Heba told them what he had in mind.
"That is a brilliant idea." Sayora said.
"But how are you going to get is spread?" Solomon asked.
"That's where I come in. Cheerleaders know everyone." Kyla said.
"We'll do this at break." Heba said.
"What about the people at school between the start of school and when we do this?" Atemu asked.
Heba sighed. "I'll deal with it." Heba answered.
"Let's go, or we'll be late." Yami said.
The five grabbed their school bags and left the house.
Joey, Seto, Tristan, Duke, Mokuba, Ryou, Bakura, Marik, and Malik were waiting for them at the school gates.
"Heba, why did you come to school today?" Joey asked. He didn't think his young friend would have come.
"I didn't want Yugi to kill me if he found out I missed school to go to the hospital." Heba said.
"Well, the bitch is causing trouble again." Duke said.
"Still saying the same thing?" Yami asked.
"Yep. She's saying that they have been sleeping around for the past few years." Tristan said.
"Well, we're doing things a little different." Yami said.
Quickly, the others were told of the plan.
"That sounds great. Let's just hope that this works." Seto said.
"Seto, everyone wants to talk about something that males someone look bad, and this will defiantly make Tea look bad." Heba said.
"Let's go. The bell will be ringing soon." Ryou said.
The group started into the school.
"Hey, whore! Let's meet up after a school!" a guy yelled.
Heba sighed. He had grown used to this.
"Bastard." Atemu muttered.
"Atemu, leave it alone." Heba said.
"Still, it's not right." Bakura said.
"As sad as it is, I'm used to it. I'll only react if they bring Yugi into it." Heba said.
"Where's the other whore?' someone sneered.
Heba gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"Okay. I'm going to be sending a lot of people to the Shadow Realm." Yami said.
"hey, guys!"
Everyone one of them turned and glared as Tea ran up to them.
Tea stopped and her eyes widened. "What's that whore doing with you?" Tea asked.
Atemu glared. "He's with his friends. What are you doing here?" Atemu asked.
"I'm here to be with my friends. I didn't sleep around like he did." Tea said, purposely saying it loud enough for people to hear.
Yami smirked and leaned toward her. "That's your occupation, not his, bitch." Yami said low enough for only Tea and their group to hear.
Tea gasped.
"We know the truth, Tea, and you can't change that." Kyla said.
The entire group turned their backs on her and walked off.
Tea fumed. 'How dare that bastard turn them on me! Heba will pay!' Tea growled.
Heba first class was with Yami, Joey, Seto, Marik, Bakura, and tea.
Yami, Joey, Seto, Marik, Bakura, and Heba purposefully sat in a way that Tea couldn't join them.
Tea glared at them.
"I think we're getting to her." Seto said.
"Good. After all, it's what we're hoping for." Yami said.
They could hear the whispers about how they were back with the whore.
Heba ignored it.
Yami growled. "I wish this would stop." Yami said.
"It would have if Tea would stop bringing it up." Heba said.
"Yeah. We all kept what we said in the group, but Tea always said it in front of people like outside." Joey said.
"You know, I think I know exactly what would piss her off more." Yami said.
"What's that?" Marik asked.
"Heba, I know you said you don't want a relationship, but if people think you're back with Atemu, Tea will be even more pissed." Yami so lowly that only the group heard.
"I don't know." Heba said.
"You can use your link and let Atemu know. He'll tell the others since they're in his class." Bakura added.
Heba bit his lip. After all that had happened, he wasn't sure, but he wanted to get back at tea badly. He glanced at her and saw her talking to some girls and guys. Since Heba had the talent of reading people's lips, he could see that she was saying that he and Yugi were whores who were in an accident trying to do someone. Heba growled. "Fine. I say let her get angry." Heba said.
"Good. This won't be hard." Yami said.
"Why?" Seto said.
"Because this entire class will know." Yami said.
They all caught on.
"So, Heba, When did you and Atemu get back together?" Seto asked. It seemed to be just in their group, but the entire class heard it.
"Yesterday. We had a long talk, and we decided that we wanted to get back together." Heba answered , also loud.
"Wow. Glad to hear. You both make such a good couple." Joey said.
The entire class was whispering, but Tea snapped.
"Why wood Atemu want to date a whore?" tea sneered.
Heba had hand enough. "I don't know. Go ask a guy you screwed." Heba said.
Tea gaped as did the entire class.
Bakura laughed. "Glad someone finally outed her since she's spend most of her time with her boyfriends on her back then dump them." Bakura said.
"How dare you." Tea growled.
"What? Not like the entire school doesn't already know." Seto said casually.
/Hey, Atemu./ Heba said.
//Yes.// Atemu replied.
/I was just letting you know that we did a little something else to get under Tea's skin./ Heba said.
//Like what?// Atemu asked.
/Well, we've made it sound like we're back together, and Seto and I basically said she's one, too, since she's slept with a lot of guys herself./ Heba said.
//Glad someone said it. I'll let the others know. We'll act it out when we're together.// Atemu said.
/Okay./ Heba agreed and closed the link. He looked at the others and said, "Atemu knows."
They all nodded.
There were whispers about Tea now.
Tea came over and said, "You had no business saying that. My life is not your business." She reached for Heba's neck, but Yami stood and grabbed her wrist.
"He only said the truth. You've had ten boyfriends in a month. They all said they had sex with you, then you dumped them. Besides, if Atemu wants to date Heba, you have no say in it, and I suggest that you leave my brother's boyfriend alone." Yami said.
Yami's famous glare had Tea backing off.
"It's true." a guy said.
The entire class looked at him.
"I dated her, and she dumped me after we had sex. My friends warned me that she was like that, but I did it anyway. She's no better." the guy said.
Tea gasped. She had just been called a whore.
When the teacher came in, the class started.
All through class, Tea was glaring at Heba.
After talking to Heba through the link, Atemu turned to Kyla, Sayora, Mokuba, Tristan, Duke, Ryou, and Malik and said, "Addition to the plan. Heba and I are going to act like we're back together, and Tea's been outed as the slut she is."
"Finally. I thought the girl would never be outed." Malik said.
"So, what now?" Kyla asked.
"At break, Heba and I will act. You'll bring the cheerleaders around, although I have a feeling Tea will be around." Atemu said.
"Well, I'd say that this going to some payback." Duke said.
"I'm glad to be a part of this." Mokuba said.
"Well, at least we're able to do something to help out." Ryou said.
"Yeah. Let's just hope that this works." Kyla said.
"With Yami and Atemu in on it, I'm sure that it will." Tristan said.
"Yeah. You guys always make things work, especially when Yugi and Heba are concerned." Sayora said.
"You don't mess with us, or the people that we love." Atemu said, shrugging.
When the teacher came in, the class started.
Tea was beyond pissed. She couldn't believe that Heba had actually called her a slut.
Sure, she slept with a lot of people, but so what? She was entitled. If she saw a guy she thought was good-looking, she dated him and then slept with him.
'Oh, he'll pay. Atemu shouldn't have dated that runt in the first place.' Tea thought angrily.
She looked over and saw that Joey was starring at Seto, Bakura and Marik were bored, Seto was taking notes as were Yami and Heba.
Tea clenched her fists. 'Why did Yami have to love that midget Yugi? He's nothing but a wimp. He can't even defend himself. He's not worthy of a person like Yami unlike me. He'd be lucky to have me.' Tea thought.
Tea wanted so much to just kill Heba.
At break, the entire group except for tea were sitting around the Sakura tree.
Heba was in Atemu's lap, leaning against him while Atemu had his arms wrapped around him. 'I've missed this.' Heba thought, quite content in Atemu's arms.
Duke and Tristan were howling with laughter.
"You go, Heba! It's about time someone outed her." Duke said.
Heba smiled. "I honestly didn't care about how she slept around until she did this to me and Yugi." Heba said.
"Where's Kyla, anyway?" Seto asked, who had his arm around Joey.
"Oh, she's getting the cheerleaders." Sayora said.
"Well, the bitch is heading over this way." Yami said.
They saw that Tea was, indeed, heading their way alone.
"Why's she coming alone?" Mokuba asked.
"Because she doesn't want anyone to know she lied." Atemu said.
"How about making her angry?" Heba asked.
"My thoughts exactly." Atemu agreed.
In a split second, Heba had turned around and was kissing Atemu.
While they were kissing, the group looked at Tea, who was obviously shocked at the sight.
Tea stormed over and said, "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
"I'm kissing my boyfriend, Tea." Heba said.
"Why would you date a slut, Atemu?" Tea demanded.
Unbeknown to Tea, Kyla had arrived with the other cheerleaders, who were hiding to eavesdrop.
"One, Heba's not a slut and you know it, Tea. He didn't cheat on me. You lied to us about it." Atemu said.
"Yeah. You told the entire school that you had seen Yugi and Heba with other guys when you know that was a lie." Joey said.
"So what if I lied? No one cares." Tea snapped.
Heba was angry. He stood up and said, "Tea, you told the entire school that we were whores. That was had been cheating on Yami and Atemu for months and that we ha slept around. You know that's a lie, Tea. You blatantly admitted to us all that you lied. You lied because you wanted to sleep with Yami. You broke up two relationships because of your own jealousy." Heba said.
"So what? I'm a much better match for Yami than that runt." Tea snapped.
"Why do you think that?" Marik asked.
"Simple. I'm pretty. I'm popular. I actually look my age. I'm not weak and pathetic. I defend myself unlike that bastard." Tea said.
"That doesn't make you better, Tea." Yami said.
"And why not?" Tea asked.
"Because you are a liar. You lie and chest to get what you want. You have no respect for anyone. You don't care about the guys you sleep with. All you care about is what goes on between your legs." Yami said.
"That's all I want. Yeah. I lied to everyone by saying that Heba and Yugi were whores. Hell, they've never even had sex before. So I made them out to be whores. I wanted Yami, and I always get what I want." tea said.
"Not this time." Yami growled. He stood up and took a step forward. "I would never have slept with you." Yami said.
"Why not?" Tea demanded.
"I'm gay, Tea. I don't like girls in that way. Besides, I won't lower myself to someone who just has sex for the heck of it, not because they love the person." Yami said.
"Doesn't matter. I'll never tell what I did, and I wish that guy had succeeded when I paid him to rape Yugi." Tea said.
There was shocked gasps.
"You hired him." Heba growled.
"Yeah. I thought it was fitting that the defenseless one be raped. It would only prove how weak he is." Tea said.
"Well, I'd ay it didn't work, Tea." Yami said.
"The bastard should have died when he tried to kill himself." Tea said.
"He tried to kill himself because of your lies and your attempted rape on him." Heba said.
"So what? He deserves it for stealing my man." Tea snapped.
"I was never yours, tea, and I never will be." Yami said.
"Doesn't matter. That runt's going to die from that accident." Tea said.
"You said that we were in the accident trying to have sex with someone." Heba said.
"So. Everyone believes me. I'm the friendship girl, remember? No one's going to believe you." Tea said, smirking.
"How dare you, you bitch!"
They all looked to see the cheerleaders standing there, looking at tea with angry glares.
Tea gasped. "Wh-what are y-you doing h-here w-with that slut?" Tea stuttered.
"Kyla brought is here. She said there was something we needed to see. We see what you are. A slut and a liar. You lied about Yugi and Heba. They aren't the whores. You are." one cheerleader said.
"Yeah. You just wanted to break them is. They're great couples, and you destroyed their lives. You did it just because you wanted to sleep with someone. Everyone knows that Yami's gay, and that he doesn't want to sleep with a girl." another cheerleader said.
"And you hired someone to rape him. Maybe we should do that to you." another said.
"I-I didn't mean it." Tea cried.
"Really. Yo said it because you thought no one else was around, Tea. You'd of played the best friend had you known they were there." Yami said.
"You're a hypocrite. You spout off all those friendship speeches, but you don't believe them. You're no one's friend." another cheerleader said.
The cheerleaders turned and walked away.
"No! Wait!" tea cried.
"It's too late, Tea. They got here right when you did, so they heard everything." Kyla said.
"Why would you do this?" Tea demanded.
"To show the entire school who you really are, and since the cheerleader heard it from your own mouth, I wonder how long it will take for people to know the truth." Kyla said.
Tea gasped.
"No one will want you around after this." Seto said.
"So what? I'll have Yugi raped yet, and you can't stop me." Tea said before storming off.
"She won't." Yami said.
"Yep. She won't get close enough." Ryou agreed.
Heba slumped back against Atemu. "I can't believe that she hired that guy to rape Yugi." Heba said.
"She'll pay for it, Heba. Trust me." Atemu said.
By the lunch, everyone was talking about what a liar and slut Tea was.
A lot of people were apologizing to Heba for what they said.
"Well, the cheerleaders worked fast." Atemu said.
"What did you expect? At least they're spreading the truth, though." Kyla said.
"Yeah." Ryou agreed.
"Take a look. Tea's being harassed." Bakura said.
The group looked to see that Tea was trying to talk to some people who were looking at her angrily.
"I think that you have nothing to worry about now, Heba." Malik said.
"Except what Tea's going to do for revenge." Heba said.
"She won't. After all, she'll have to get through us." Marik said.
The group started to leave after school.
"Do you know what you've done to me?!" Tea screamed at them.
They turned to her.
"Ruined your reputation the way you ruined Yugi and Heba's." Yami answered.
"How could you?" Tea said.
"Simple. You're a bitch and needed to be knocked down. Oh, and if you try to have Yugi or Heba raped, I'll sue you and your family so bad that your great-great grandchildren will be homeless." Seto said.
Tea gaped.
"Come on. Let's go." Heba said.
The group walked off.
"Where to?" Sayora asked.
"The hospital. I want to see Yugi." Heba said.
The group arrived there to find Solomon outside the room.
"Grandpa, is Yugi okay?" Heba asked.
"He's better, actually. They've taken him off the ventilator and he's breathing on his own. The doctors think that he might wake up in the next few days." Solomon said.
Heba's eyes lit up. "That's fantastic!" Heba exclaimed who immediately rushed into the room to see his brother.
"How did it go at school?" Solomon asked.
"Not bad. The entire school is against Tea." Yami said.
"Grandpa, you know that guy that tried to rape Yugi?" Atemu asked.
"Yes." Solomon replied.
"Well, Tea hired him to do that." Atemu said.
Solomon's eyes widened. "Why?" Solomon asked.
"She wanted to show how week Yugi really is, but she's turned everyone against her. The cheerleaders heard everything and told the people at school. Tea doesn't have anyone on her side." Yami said.
"She deserves worse." Solomon said.
Yami, Atemu, Marik, Bakura, and Seto looked at each other. They already were on the way to doing that.
I know you want something else to happen to Tea for hiring that guy to rape Yugi. I'm not done wiht her yet.
The next chapter is going to have Yami, Atemu, Marik, and Bakura making her pay. (Seto's going to have Showdow magic, too.)
