Thanks for the reviews:
Emza the Fairy - My beta has informed me not to speak at this time.
Sunrise Phoenix - Well, if you really want to turn him into a rat, why not bring you into the story as a witch and turn him into one. Apparently, I can't do that because this is reality.
Rosalind du Coudray - That would be a 50/50 chance of that happening in her current status. But, let's see what happens.
Guest - I updated! Now, grab a juice box and enjoy! lol
VampiressBeauty20 - Why thank you, but it's the beta that deserves half the credit and I get the other half.
Special Thanks to my BETA Akai22878 - Exactly, people have to know that because I have more stuff bomping into my head.
DISCLAIMER!
I OWN NOTHING! I only own the OC's in the story!
As Vivian was driving Tea and Serenity to the arcade, she thought to herself when she left with the girls before leaving Bakura's house.
FLASHBACK
"Listen you little bitch here's how it will work. I will handle Atem while you try to keep Tea and her friends occupied. I want him to myself because he took that one thing that I wanted my whole life." said Bakura.
"And who would that be exactly?" Vivian was confused about what Bakura was telling her and Bakura went up to her face and told her
"That is none of your concern, now go keep her out of the way while I go to work and take care of Atem myself!" Bakura slammed the door while Vivian just stood there, taking in all that yelling. Vivian had to put up with two years of prison because of her actions, but did she really want to put up with them again?
"I deserve better respect from him than having to put up with Tea and her mood swings, but why is something in my head telling me to keep her safe?" she said to herself.
Vivian then got dressed in a peach colored shirt with khaki dress pants and left to the mansion where she was going to take Tea shopping.
Upon her arrival, she got out of her car and walked up to the mansion to knock on the door. As Tea opened the door, she saw Tea with a banana in her hand.
"Vivian, hey, boy have I got plans with you." Vivian sneered internally but showed a happy face.
"Really? Well, I thought we could go get some stuff for your upcoming baby, how does that sound?" Vivian was told to keep her preoccupied for Bakura and thought this was a good way.
Tea replied "Sure, I needed to get some exercise anyway and my dad left his van for me, so we can use that." Vivian sighed in relief that she actually wanted to get out of the house. A few minutes later, Vivian was waiting on the couch waiting on Tea to come down so they can start. When Tea had finally come down stairs, at a nice and easy pace, Vivian saw that she was wearing a pink shirt that covered her 26-week pregnant belly along with black jeans and open-toed shoes, Vivian stood up and Tea looked at her.
"Okay, lets' go get Serenity too. She would want to come with us I assume." Tea told Vivian as she nodded in agreement, left to go get her.
END FLASHBACK
Vivian was lost in her own thoughts, but had her eyes locked on the road to head for the arcade. As they were driving, a bunch of thoughts flooded through Tea's mind. She is very worried of what will happen to Atem. Would he be killed, sent to prison, get eaten alive by rabid wolves, but she then realized that her imagination was getting to her. As the girls got to the arcade, they saw Akio outside on the entrance and so Vivian parked the car while Tea walked up to Akio to get answers.
"Akio, where is my husband?!" she screamed as she gripped his shirt.
"I'll take you to him, but you have to be careful Tea because who knows what Bakura might do." Akio sees Serenity and turned to her "Serenity, I need you to call for any backup possible, Kaiba, the police, FBI, anyone!" Akio took Tea's hand and walked her to an elevator in the back of the arcade. As Serenity called Kaiba, she got him and told him of what was happening, but, as she was talking to Kaiba, Vivian grabbed her and hit a pressure point causing her to fall unconscious, dropping her phone in the process.
~ MEANWHILE ~
Bakura was in his office with Atem. Atem, the man bounded to a chair with metal latches, was struggling to escape. But to no avail, nothing was working and he was even getting tired.
"Bakura, why are you doing this? What did I ever do to you anyway?"
"I'll tell you since you won't live long enough to tell! It started back in high school when you came in as a transfer student. I saw you and Tea bumping into each other and I saw a connection between you two. During that time, I tried to show Tea that I existed, but instead it all failed because of some backfires. But, when the Masquerade ball came around, I came in dressed to impress. When I saw a beautiful maiden walk down those stairs in her dress and mask, I wanted to have her. But, you went in and took her away from me too! Then, I found out that you married her, I couldn't live with myself, so I decided to try to the next best thing." Atem raised a brow.
"And what would that be dare I ask!" growled Atem. Bakura chuckled darkly and responded with,
"I've decided that the best course of action is… killing you!"
"That's why you were bent on destroying my business?! You wanted Tea to think that I'm a bad husband to her and now you'll kill me to just because you want Tea to yourself?! You're sick and demented!"
"Why thank you, I happen to get that a lot lately since someone moved in with me." Atem blinked and was confused by what Bakura was saying.
"What I mean is I had someone on the inside getting all of your secrets and information for me."
"I already know, your former employee, Simone. I fired her right when I found out you were the one trying to take me down!" said Atem as Bakura replied,
"WRONG! She wasn't my mole, there was someone else! Vivian, she says that she changed over a new leaf, but I sent her to your mansion to have her do whatever you wanted her to do and it worked. Now, she is keeping Tea occupied while I keep you here!"
As Bakura stopped talking, he took out a foot-long dagger out of his desk drawer and got into a stabbing position. But… it was lined up to stab Atem right through the heart! As he was going to do this, the door was being banged on by a powerful force. The two men turned their heads to see what was going on. The door finally gave out and fell down revealing to be Akio and Tea at the door.
"Knock, Knock..." whimpered Akio as Tea bursted into the room like S.W.A.T.
"Tea, Akio, get out of here, you'll get killed! You both mean too much to me if I lose you!" yelled Atem.
"I don't care Atem, we got married because we care about each other and I am not going to leave until I get my husband home safe" She turned her head to face the man who is causing this, "Bakura." Tea was determined to get Atem out of that chair, even for a pregnant woman, she could still try.
"You can try, but you might want to take second thoughts on what you say. You're in no position of demanding orders or doing anything for that matter!" Bakura just pointed his dagger at Atem getting ready to strike until Akio stepped in and took action.
"Maybe she might not be able to do anything, but I AM!" Akio jumped into the air and shot cards at Bakura's face.
"Urgh, if that's how you want it, fine! Here's your first cut of the PAY!" Bakura sliced Akio's right arm causing Akio to fall behind the desk bleeding. Tea just watched Akio defend for her and Atem.
"Now, where were we?" Bakura said as he licked his dagger.
"Bakura, don't do this! If I go with you peacefully, will you please just let Atem go?" Tea was trying to get Bakura to prevent him from killing Atem.
"How about that, your wife is giving up her marriage just to keep you safe." Atem tried moving, but couldn't and instead said "No Tea, don't worry about me. You need to get out of here while you still can!"
"I know, but I don't want to lose you. I'm sorry, but I have to do it to save you." Tea said depressingly, but she saw Akio getting up from behind the desk to see him still bleeding on his arm.
"I love you Atem." said Tea as Atem replied "I love you too, Tea" Bakura backed away from Atem and starts to walk up to Tea to take her with him.
"Any last words before you divorce your husband?" Bakura said sneeringly and Tea spoke up and said "Just two words: NOW AKIO!"
When Akio heard that signal, he pushed the button that was holding down Atem in the chair and released him from his shackles and now he was about to go all out on Bakura. Atem jumped out from his chair and helicopter kicked Bakura's head in, and drop kicked him on his spine. Atem ran up to Tea to see if she was okay.
"Oh Tea, don't scare me like that again. I thought I would lose you." Atem held her and rocked her since he was a little scared to have her see him get stabbed to death.
"Atem, I thought I was going to lose you too. I was so worried about you. Akio called me and I came down here as quick as I could." Tea was starting to calm down from all the surprises that has happened all day until Tea realized something. "Oh no, Serenity! I left her with Vivian!" she screamed
"Come on, we better get moving." Atem and Tea went to the elevator to go find Vivian, but they forgot about Akio bleeding on his arm. Akio tried walking, but he tried to stop making his arm bleed so much.
"Oh, don't worry about me, I'll just lock the door behind me while I bleed to death!" Akio said sarcastically.
Tea and Atem got offthe elevator and as they got outside, they see Serenity asleep on the concrete sidewalk, but what they also see on her shirt is a piece of paper. Atem rips the paper out and reads what it said.
"Tea, I'm sorry, but I knocked out Serenity because by the time you read this, Bakura is already been taken down. I was in cahoots with him because he forced me to be your servant. I am telling you this now. I have left $300 in the van for you and Atem. This is my Baby Shower gift to you and it will be the last gift that you'll get from me because I'll be leaving Domino and never coming back. I'm not wanted around here anymore, so I will go somewhere else and start all over again on a clean slate. Spending time with you Tea made me realize that I just needed a true friend to realize who I really was and I thank you for that. Have a happy life.
- Vivian (Kiss mark)"
"Wow, Vivian really DID care about us, but why did she knock out Serenity?" Tea was confused by all of this, but Atem had a thought. "I'm guessing because she didn't want anything to do with Bakura anymore."
Well, okay. That was a bit of a cliffhanger right there, but at least Bakura's going to jail! At least until the police get , let's continue this next chapter, kay? So, leave your reviews on here and I'll be back with the next chapter to this story because I will be having my hands full with other stuff. See You Next Time!
