Previously:
"M..Ma..Mal..ik?" she managed to whisper. Her throat throbbed in dryness.
The figures head turned, its eyes narrowing, and a smirk crossing its face.
Its white hair bustled behind it as it gave a small chuckle.
Tea's eyes widened.
She scowled, her voice becoming more confident.
"Bakura."
Owari.

Chapter Eleven
"Reunion"
If He Can Touch You, He Can Hurt You
By this time, Tea was sitting up in the hospital bed. Because the bed was in a corner, Tea found her back resting upon the crème colored wallpaper. She wanted to shut her eyes and pretend that she was sleeping, but, alas, Bakura had seen her. She bit her lip as she attempted to slide out of bed. A sharp pain, however, emitted for her arm, as she realized she was hooked up to an IV. She gasped as Bakura approached her, his arms placed akimbo. He sneered at her pain: it gave him pleasure to watch her cower in fear.
"I see you're up," he said casually, now at her bedside. He sat down in an empty chair, only a half-of-a-foot away.
"What's it to you?" she muttered, crossing her arms.
He laughed, his dark eyes locking onto her azure ones. He suddenly grabbed her wrist. Tea winced.
"You know," he said monotonously, "I missed you."
Tea spat back. "I can't say the gesture is returned." With that, she tugged her wrist away, and flinched as the IV tugged at her arm once more.
Bakura snickered. "It seems someone's built up some confidence."
Tea did a mocking laugh. "It seems like someone's being a big assh-."
She paused. Bakura had taken her wrist again, and his face was only inches away from hers.
"Wh-what are you doing?" she tried to say; it came out in a whisper. Her feebleness surprised her. She had managed to stand up to Marik: a strong, crazy man who had assaulted her. However, here she was, sitting in front of a skinny maniac- who most likely couldn't beat up a three-year-old.
"What do you think you're doing?" she reiterated, a little louder this time. She used her free hand and pulled it into a fist. Squeezing it tight, she closed her eyes and thrust it forward.
"Whack-!" -The sound of hand hitting face.
Alas, it never came. Tea's eyes opened, only to see both of he wrists captured in Bakura's grip. "Don't try that kind of stuff on me," Bakura muttered slyly, his mouth centimeters away from her ear. "It might have worked on little Marik…but I do not fall so easily."
Tea's hands recoiled from their "punching" positions. Bakura pulled Tea close to him, forcing her head to be buried in his chest. Bakura released her hands, and wrapped one arm around Tea's waist, and placed one under her chin. He used the latter hand to draw Tea near to him, so that their eyes met. Tea whimpered softly as Bakura placed his lips on hers. She drew back, but Bakura only followed her, pressing harder onto her soft lips.
Tea's mouth opened to shout, but Bakura only went further, nibbling on her lower lip with a force Tea could only identify as lust. Tea yelped, using her free arms to push him off. Bakura laughed, and stuck one hand into her hair, stroking the messy brown locks.
Tea's eyes widened as an idea crossed her mind. She used her IV stricken arm to her advantage. Wrapping the wire around Bakura's neck, she squeezed it tightly, releasing Bakura's grip on her. He coughed as Tea jumped off his lap and ran backwards, ripping the IV off of her arm in the process. Her arm began to thump as she turned around, running out of the room.
Gasping for breath, Tea slammed the door behind, clicking the lock as she went. Sighing, and feel to her knees and wiped the sweat off her brow. Tea squealed as she ran down the hallway, sliding on the tile floor. Several questions played through her mind.
Where were the doctors?
Where were her friends?
Where was she?
As soon as she passed a doctor, a man with bright orange hair, she heard him call to her.
"Hey! Wait!" he yelled. Tea laughed to herself. He must have thought she was crazy, racing down the hall in a hospital gown.
However, she kept running, a strange fear overcoming her. Within moments, several men in scrubs had taken hold of her.
She cried, muttering that someone had been trying to attack her. Their grip slightly released from her body.

After checking Tea's room, the doctors led her back- a broken lock was unnoticed by all.
They sat her on her bed, reassuring her, mollifying her.
She placed her head onto the pillow, and she fell into a deep sleep.

The next time she woke up, that same figure stood before her; however, this time it was who she thought it was.
"Malik-kun," she whispered as her eyes flickered open.
The figure sprang up from its position on the chair, revealing violet eyes and sandy blonde hair.
"Tea-chan…" he stated, smiling. He lowered his head. "I thought you were…I was scared…that he had-" He couldn't finish his statement. He was afraid of what his yami would do to anyone- especially Tea.
"S'okay," Tea responded softly as she sat up in the hospital bed.
Malik moved his hands around Tea's waist and drew her in. He pulled her into an embrace.
Tea buried her head in his chest. This feeling…this warm feeling…made Tea's heart thump. Malik slowly took one hand out from around her and placed it in her hair, stroking the tresses of hair slowly. Tea cried silently, gripping the gray t-shirt that he wore.
"I thought I'd never see you again," she complained quietly, melting into a puddle in his embrace.
"I'm just so…so-" she began, lost for words. Seeing this, Malik released his hand from her hair and put it to Tea mouth.
"Shhh…" Malik soothed, gently kissing her forehead. Tea's face turned a deep red. She barely remembered his touches, nevertheless his kiss. She smiled under his finger. Using one delicate hand, Tea placed her hand to her mouth and gently removed the finger there. Taking it in her hand, she squeezed it tightly.
"Malik-kun," she whispered, pulling his hand to her chest. Instigating her head forward, her locked lips with Malik, drawing about a small kiss. He responded heatedly, pressing back with equal force. She whimpered at his passionate kiss: something she had been waiting for…for an extremely long time.
Slowly pulling away, a smile was placed on Tea's face. She hugged the Egyptian boy once more, as he looked downward at her face.
"What does this make us?" Malik said in a whisper.
"Together," Tea responded breathily.
Malik gave off a smile grin. "Together?"
"Together."
