Yami talking to Yugi

Last chapter

"Tea? Hey? I'm sorry to bother you so late but I forgot something. Tea? You there?" Serenity called from the doorway.

Marik growled with anger. He bent down to Tea once again and whispered to her , "She's a real nuisance, no matter. I will talk to you again soon my dear. Goodbye." He then got up and approached the window where Ryou had been hiding.

Tea's eyes widened as she realized in what direction Marik was headed. 'Ryou!' She thought before she let out a worried "I'm here" to make the scene seem less suspicious.

Marik looked outside the slightly open window and looked back at Tea. He winked at her and then stared hard at something outside.

Chapter 10

He just stood there. He seemed as if he was staring at something. 'Oh no! Ryou! He sees you!' She thought as she sat there on the floor.

"You really should get up and open that door before I get to her." He said to her as he turned around to look at her. Her features held a worried look and he smirked. She quickly nodded and ran to the door. She cleared her eyes and made herself look presentable and then looked back towards Marik. He winked at her and left the room as she opened the door.

"Hey Serenity, sorry about that, place was quite a mess and I was just cleaning up after something. So what brings you here so late at night?" She asked, trying to sound casual, just incase Marik was still outside.

Serenity knew she had to play along, the risk of Marik still being there was high. "Sorry for coming so late Tea, but I left my medication here the other night. And I can have real problems without it so I had to come." She said also as she walked in.

"You guys can stop now. He's gone." came the voice of their male friend from the doorway.

"Oh my god! Ryou are you all right? Did he see you?" Tea asked as she saw Ryou come into the house. Tea and Serenity looked towards Ryou as he got in and closed the door, camera in hand.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Are you okay Tea? Your not hurt or anything?" he asked with concern in his voice.

"Yes, I'm fine… Well, at least I will be fine." She said as they all sat down on the couch.

"Okay, well then, we've got the whole scene on tape, from beginning till end. All that's left is--"

He was interrupted by Tea. "Ryou, is there a chance that Marik saw you? I mean… he seemed as if he was staring right at you."

"Yeah, well I kind of ran behind the tree in front of the house when I saw him approaching the window. I hid there until he left. By the way, there's something you should know. Tea, he was walking down the street, and a car pulled over. He got on it. I don't know who it was, but whoever it was, Marik knows them. I think there might be more to this story then what we know." He told her as he was rewinding the tape in the camera.

"What are you saying? You think that… someone else is behind all this? But who?" She said aloud as she thought. Then it occurred to her, "What if it's a business partner of Seto's? Maybe some guy who used to be his partner… out for revenge?" She told them as she kept trying to search through her memory for a different answer.

"That would make sense, but how would this person know about Marik? How could they bring him back from the Shadow Realm?" Ryou said.

Tea thought of that for a moment. She couldn't find any other answer. How did Marik get back from the Shadow Realm? Why did he come after Seto? Nothing made sense to her. Well, all she knew was that they had found their evidence now. All that was left was to get it on tape, and send it to Seto.

"Alright then. I think it's quite late now. I better get home now and I'll work on this film for tomorrow. Be careful Tea. And if anything comes up, give me a call alright?" Ryou said to her as he stood up.

"Okay Ryou. Thank you so much for your help, you too Serenity. I really appreciate this, guys. Thank you." Tea said.

"No sweat." Ryou said with a smile on his face. "Serenity? Want me to drop you off at home?" he asked her, turning his attention away from Tea.

Serenity looked towards Tea. Tea gave her a nod, as to tell her she'd be fine. Serenity smiled back and responded with a "Yes, thanks Ryou." She gave Tea a hug and walked towards the door with Ryou.

"Are you sure your going to be fine? You don't want me to stay or anything?" She asked Tea one more time.

"I'm sure Serenity. Thanks for offering. I'll call the both of you if something comes up." She said as they walked out the door. She closed the door once the two disappeared from her site. She locked it up and leaned against the door. 'And thus we begin a new chapter. It's time for the end Marik. As I said before, your going down.' She thought with a smile upon her face. Everything was going to be different from now on. The game was coming to an end, and she just knew that she'd be the winner.

"Hello?" Yu-gi said into the phone.

"Hello? Hey Yugi! How are you?" came a feminine voice on the other end.

"Oh! Hey Tea! Funny, I was just going to call you to tell you something!" He said back into the receiver. She sure sounded happier. 'Well, at least she's not sad anymore' he thought as he took a seat on a chair nearby.

"Really? What's up?" She asked.

"Well, we just received a call from Ishizu this morning. She said she had a surprise for us and wanted us to come down to the museum today."

"Wait… Ishizu's in town? When did she get here… and what news?" Tea asked. What if Malik had come with her? What if he was the one that released Marik… but why?

"She just arrived last night. The news… I have no idea! She just said that Yami and I would be very happy," he told her yet again. "So I'm going to come pick you up around 2… alright?" he asked again.

"Alright then Yugi! See you then!" She said as she hung up.

Yugi hung up the phone as well. He stared at the transparent Yami. Yami was just as curious as Yugi about the matter. What news could Ishizu probably have that would excite both of them?

--

"Yo Yug! Tea! Ryou! Wait up!" Came Joey's voice from behind them.

"Hey Joey! Where are the… never mind." Yugi said as he saw Serenity, Tristen, Duke, and Mai coming up behind him. "So now that everyone's here, let's go inside."

They entered the huge museum. Tea remembered being here three times now, twice with Yugi… well once being with the spirit, and the most recent, being with Mokuba. 'And Seto was there too' she thought. 'Get a hold of yourself! You don't want to mess anything up!' She thought again as they approached the Egyptian exhibit. They scanned the area for the Egyptian woman, but couldn't see her anywhere.

"Welcome everyone." Came the voice that they all recognized. They all turned around to see the woman standing there greeting them. Everyone greeted her back. "Well, now the reason I called you here is because I think we have found something that could really help the pharaoh." She said. "Follow me." She told them all as she began leading the way. They all went down a couple of sets of stairs, to an 'employees' only section. They entered the room. It was bright with light, and had Egyptian tablets up along the walls.

"Please take a seat", she said to them. They all obeyed her. They took a seat and waited in silence.

"Ishizhu? I haven't seen Malik around. Didn't he come with you too?" Yugi asked as he looked around. Tea began to feel uneasy. 'What if Malik brought him back… but that wouldn't make sense.' She thought…again.

"No he didn't come. He stayed back with Odion. They've actually gotten along very well now. They both work at the Cairo Museum, and their quite happy." Ishizu replied. "Anyway, as I was saying, we have found ancient scriptures. It is a spell. A spell that will separate the Pharaoh from Yugi." Here she paused to register their expressions. "It will give him his own body, until as long as he needs it. Which is until he can return to his ancient past once again." Ishizhu said. She looked at each of them as she said this. She smiled a bit when she saw them all just staring at her. They seemed as if they were staring at a ghost.

"Your joking right?" Mai spoke up. Everyone was silent.

"I am serious." She said with the smile back on her face. "We ran into it in another dig up in Egypt."

"Wow! That is good news! I can't believe it! 'Yami… did you hear that? You can get your own body!' " Yugi said to everyone, including his the spirit. Yami was too surprised to say anything.

'Yugi, can I take over for the time being?'

'Sure thing!' Yugi said as the flash appeared from the puzzle.

Everyone stared at the changed Yugi and knew right away who it was. "Hello pharaoh" Ishizu said.

"Hello Ishizu. So what your saying is that me and Yugi will be separated?" he asked.

"Yes, you can be. And if you give me the permission, we can begin the ritual process right away," she said to him.

Yami looked towards all his friends faces and smiled back at all of them. "Alright then, let's proceed."

"Could I ask you all to wait for us here. It's necessary not to have too many people surrounding the body. It shouldn't take too long, however, if you'd like, you can go up or come back in about 30 minutes." Ishizu told them. After everyone nodded, they wished Yami luck and he, along with Ishizu went through another door, hidden slightly by a tablet.

"Well then, what do you all suggest we do? Should we wait here? Or hang out upstairs?" Ryou asked as they all sat on their chairs.

"Let's come back in 20 minutes. We can all go hang out, and meet up then." Mai said. "Besides, I need to by some new shoes for the occasion."

Everyone just laughed at her. "Alright then I guess we all meet up here in 20 minutes," said Tristen.

"How's the tape coming Ryou?" Tea asked as she slurped on a slush she had just bought.

"Well actually, I'm done with it. Now we just have to get it to Kaiba somehow. Should we mail it maybe? Or should someone give it to him personally?" Ryou asked, taking a sip of his own slush.

"Well, Marik will get suspicious if he catches Tea with the tape. One of us could mail it… but then again, you can't trust mail that much. So I think we should get it to him personally. He won't talk to Tea. So maybe one of us can drop it off at his office tomorrow?" Serenity said, holding her slush.

"Yeah, good point. So I guess, I can drop it off tomorrow." Ryou said.

"Actually, I think I can. I've been talking to Mokuba for a couple of days now. So we've become pretty good friends. I might be able to get the tape to Kaiba." Serenity said.

"Okay then, I guess we have that set." Tea said. She was very happy now. She really felt life taking a turn in its path. The painful road changed to one of bliss. She would not be alone anymore. Everything would return back to normal… well at least that's what she hoped.

"Don't worry Tea, everything will be fine." Ryou said with a reassuring smile at her once again. "Now then, I think we should get back to the museum. Yugi should be coming out in about 10 minutes." Ryou said. All three of them got up and began walking towards the museum once again, all feeling very confident.

--

"He…they should be coming out any moment now." Duke said as they all sat there waiting for the door to open up.

"Duke man, your right! Here comes one!" Tristen said out loud, causing everyone to look towards the door Yugi and Ishizu had disappeared into earlier. Ishizu was the first figure to come out. Her face was unreadable. She was then followed by Yugi. He too, seemed unreadable.

"Yugi? Are you okay? What happened?" Tea asked him with concern in her voice.

"I… I ca…I want to introduce you all to Yami!" He said all of a sudden. Everyone looked towards the door again, and this time, a taller figure stepped out.

Everyone just stared at the man in the doorway, Ishizu and Yugi laughing in the back.

"Hi everyone." Yami said with a smirk on his face.

"'Ey Yami! Welcome to Domino man!" Joey broke the silence.

"Hey Yami! Wow this is so cool! You two are separated now!" Tristen broke in.

"Hi Yami!" The others replied.

"How are you feeling?" Tea asked him as she also approached the young pharaoh.

"I'm feeling well Tea, Thank you." He said. She smiled back at him and then he spoke up once again. "Thank you Ishizu. Now… whose up for some ice cream?" he asked his new… yet old friends.

They all cheered and headed out the door.

'Yes, life will be different from now on. It'll be better then it ever was. No more pain, no more games, just love, and fun!' Tea thought as everyone left the museum.

--

He sat there, in the darkness. A dagger in his hands. He thought over everything she had said to him. 'She told her.' He thought. It seemed that way. That girl couldn't hide her fear from him… and she couldn't even lie to him. He could see it on her face… she had told the Wheeler girl.

'Well my dear Tea, I did warn you before… but you decided to disobey me. Now your little friend shall pay the price.' He thought to himself. He began chuckling. Laughter bouncing off the walls of the dark room. And without warning, he suddenly threw the dagger he held in his fingers towards the wall.

"Goodbye… Serenity."
