"Tea's Confusion and Crush [Revised]"
Chapter Six
By Petit Angel Girl
Yami x Anzu – YuGiOh!/Yuugiou Duel Monsters
Summary: A revision of my first YuGiOh! fanfic, with a few changes made and now in regular story form.
Authoress' Note: Sorry for the slow updates everyone. I know it's been awhile. I've just been busy updating and such. Also, my co-authoress, Bastet Starwind, has something to say:
Hello everyone,
Name's Bastet Starwind, the co-authoress of this lovely story. You wouldn't believe how much I enjoy writing this with PAG-san. .
I'm glad to see everyone's enjoying this fic. To those who don't: I don't care if you flame, but flame me, not PAG, she's a very sweet woman, and just because she has a little trouble with tenses or anything like that, doesn't mean a thing! She enjoys what she does, just for fun.
Hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters, and as of now, we have a lot of the story together, but comments and suggestions are much appreciated. Constructive criticism is much more helpful to us than flames.
Later!
And now, here is chapter 6.
The man smirks and takes the now unconscious Tea through the woods to his master.
Meanwhile, back at the Game Shop, Yami is sleeping soundly on his bed.
'Someone help me…Yami…anybody…please…'
His eyes snap open and he quickly sits up, breathing hard. "What…what happened?"
Yugi, having sensed it as well, looks up from his book and at Yami. "Yami, that sounded like…"
"Tea…" Yugi nods. "I know, but…what kind of trouble is she in? I wonder…"
Meanwhile, Tea had arrived at Mariku's hideout. Her unconscious form is carried to a table and set there, her wrists and ankles bound by rope so that she cannot escape. And Mariku was watching her closely…He had plans for this girl and wanted to make sure lighter half did not interfere.
Now back in spirit form, he too is bound but to the wall as he begins to struggle. "Let me back in control!"
"I'm in charge now, so be quiet."
Marik naturally disobeys as he continues his fight.
Tea feels herself begin to stir and slowly opens her eyes to see the good Marik captured nearby. "Marik…?" she says groggily, confused and slightly surprised.
"Yeah, and my psychotic yami! I'm sorry I got you caught!"
"Quiet…" his other hisses.
Tea slowly sits herself up, letting out a frightened gasp when she sees Mariku. He smiles at her, although it is more like a smirk, and she can hear the good Marik still struggling in the background. She glares at him boldly. "What do you plan on doing with me? And what about Marik?"
"You are to be wed. And my hikari has a date with destiny. More-or-less…the shadows."
'So I was the bride he spoke of!' "No! Never!"
"I never said you'd be willing…" he says, holding up his Millennium Rod slightly as if gesturing his point.
Marik's body glows a deep purple with rage. "I won't allow you to!" They watch as Mariku recoils from this. It was obvious they were still battling one another for control.
"I'd rather die than be wed to a scum like you! Just wait until Yami hears about this! He'll stop you for sure!"
The dark half scoffs from her words as he recovers. "The pharaoh couldn't find you even if he had a map."
Suddenly, the good Marik breaks free, and Tea watches in shock and horror as the former tombkeeper tries to regain control of his body.
"Please stop this, Marik! I don't want you hurt…or worse!"
"I won't let him do this." He looks over at her with determination in his eyes as he briefly regains control. "I don't have the control yet to free you, but I promise to get Yami."
"Marik…"
"Just let me…I promise I'll stay safe."
Tea watches as he runs out and, still bound and tired from the chloroform, lies back down along the platform. "Yami…"
Soon Marik manages to make it to the Game Shop, still trying to keep control as he knocks on the door. Yugi answers and grows shocked to see him on the other side.
"Marik!"
"Yugi, it's about Tea…My yami did it…I can barely keep control…"
Then Yami quickly walks up, having overheard.
"Your yami? He did that? But that's impossible!"
"Where is she? What happened to her?"
"One of his goons did it…She's in the old warehouse…I had to fight for control to come and tell you…"
"Don't worry. We'll make sure you stay in control."
"He'll be stopped this time…once and for all."
"I've tried so many times…He won't go away…Unh…"
"Marik!" They cry out in worried unison.
"I can't keep control…"
Yugi looks over at Yami determinedly. "There's not much time. Tea needs to be rescued now." Yami gives a knowing and agreeable nod, equally determined.
"Go…go!" Marik urges. "I can handle myself"
Yugi turns to Yami once again. "I'll stay here and keep an eye on the shop. You guys go and rescue Tea as quickly as you can."
"Alright." Yami replies. "Come on, Marik, hop on my back."
Making no protest from already being weakened, he does as told and Yugi watches as they head off. "We'll be back soon, Yugi!"
Authoress' Note: Will they get there in time? Or will the tables turn? Find out in Chapter 7 – The Rescue: Part 2! Coming soon! (Will be a slightly shorter chapter)
