Last Chapter
She jolted up on her bed, forgetting all about the pain in her stomach. "Where's Tea?" She said as she pulled down her oxygen mask.
"Ren. Relax… they went afta Marik." Joey said as he laid his hand onto Serenity's shoulders.
"Whose they!" She practically yelled.
"Ren relax!" Joey said again.
"No! Tea's in trouble! The other man! It's him! It's…"

Chapter 14
"Ryou!" a voice called out in the bright bustling hallways. Women and men in pure white were walking around the building trying to reach this patient or the next.
Ryou turned around to take a look at who had called out to him. Amidst the white, tricolor hair could be seen. Ryou shifted himself towards the wall and waited until Yugi caught up to him.
"Hey! Ryou? Where you going?" Yugi asked as he leaned against the wall, beside Ryou.
"No where, I just wanted to get some fresh air."
"Is everything okay?" he asked again.
Ryou turned around slightly and gave him a small smile. "Yup. How's Joey holding?"
"He's still trying to wake her up." Yugi responded as he gave out a sigh.
Both of them stood there in silence, just gazing off into the distance.
Neither of them heard the other voice calling out to them until it neared them.
"Yo! Guys! Serenity! She's awake!" Tristan practically screamed.
Ryou and Yugi stood in silence. Finally the news seemed to register as both of them turned to each other. They then ran after Tristan back to the room.
"Alright! Did you get the doctor?" Ryou asked as they got near the room.
"Oh yeah! I forgot, I'll go get him right now!" Tristan said as he turned around again and ran back the way he had come from.
Yugi came to a halt in front of the door to the room, and Ryou followed his example. They opened the door and saw Serenity's eyes wide with surprise and… fear.

It had finally gotten darker. Both figures walked quietly side by side on the deserted streets. She gazed around her and tried to make out their surroundings.
"Yami?" her small voice called for him.
"Hm?"
"Where are we? And where is everyone?"
"I was sort of hoping you knew. How could we get lost?" He said as he came to a stop. Tea stopped right beside him. Both looked around their surroundings. It couldn't be that late at night, 8:40 at the latest. Tea walked near a light post and tried to make out the street name.
'Rosedale St.'
She frowned slightly as her mind began to think. "I know I've heard of this street." She said as she heard Yami approach her.
"Yes. It does sound familiar." He said as he tried searching the grounds for any sign of human life. "Hey Tea, I think we should just try going back the way we came. Either that, or we try finding someone."
"Yeah. I still think this place sounds familiar. I know I've been here before…" she began to think as Yami just stared at her. She knew she had been here. The street's name was just so strong in her mind. She'd been here… but when? "I think we should try walking ahead. I don't know why, but I think we can find some shelter there." Tea said as she began to take a few steps toward the faintly lit street. Yami just sighed and walked by her.
"Are you sure you know where we're going?" He asked her again. She didn't look at him. She didn't smile. She just nodded and continued walking into the distance.
All he could do was comply, and follow her the rest of the way.
--
He chuckled again as he stared at me. "You are a fool." He said again.
"I don't think so." Without warning, I flung myself at him with my fist held high for the third time since Tea had left. My intentions were to strike him in the chest, but I knew he wouldn't be dumb enough to fall for that. As I neared him, I quickly ducked and spun my leg beneath his, causing him to fall. I got up and quickly went for the punch. Success! It collided. I smiled as I got up and looked down at him.
"Your times up Marik." I said again as I grabbed his dagger. I knelt down and held it to his throat. "Any last words?" I sneered.
He simply looked at me and laughed out again. "Yes, in fact. I do have some words."
His face turned dark as he brought a demonic smile onto his features.
I just glared at the man, waiting for him to speak. I began to get irritated when he did not. I punched the man in the face, causing some blood to drip out from the corner of his mouth. He simply chuckled again.
"I'm really beginning to get annoyed here." I gritted through my clenched teeth. I still held the dagger close to his throat, but didn't slice him. I had to know who was after her. I couldn't let Tea be put into any more danger. "Talk already. Tell me, who your working with? How the hell did you get back here?"
His laughter rang out in the house again. My head was already pounding from hearing that sinister crackle. I hit him again, causing his head to turn away from me.
"No matter what you do Kaiba, your going to lose her. No one can protect her, no one." He said.
'What does he mean?' I thought. Before I knew it, I was pushed away and collided against the door. My back ached. 'Bad move idiot' I thought to myself. How could I let my guard down? Marik picked up the dagger I had dropped.
I still glared at him as he began to approach me.
"Too bad you can't save little Tea now. It's your fault for being such a fool Kaiba." He simply said as he came to a halt. He was going to strike me. He raised his arm with the dagger above his head and brought it down with force. Before I knew it, I had somehow dodged the attack towards the porch. I landed hard on the cement. I quickly got up and looked around.
The dark clouds would give in any time. It was about to rain. I looked at the man in the doorway again.
"Why do you keep prolonging your death Kaiba?" He simply said as he leaned against the doorframe.
I just glared at him. He was really beginning to piss me off.

"Tea. Where are we?" Yami asked as they approached a little cabin. Tea smiled to herself and turned around to look at Yami.
"I knew I recognized this place. This is where me and Seto came one day to celebrate his birthday." She said.
She quickly approached the door and looked at the security system installed. 'Oh Seto!' she thought. She quickly typed in the 7 digits. Without warning, an automated voice spoke out.
"State your name."
"Tea Gardner."
"Accepted. Welcome Miss."
Yami just stared at the scene. "Um… why doesn't he just use a key?" He asked as he entered the cabin after Tea.
"Probably because he's Seto Kaiba." She said as she smiled slightly.
She closed the door behind her and ran towards the phone right away. She had to call him to make sure he was okay.
She picked up the receiver and dialed his number. She turned around and stared out the window. A light shower had started to pour.
"I feel like I'm in a horror film." She said a loud, more to herself then anyone else.
"I know what you mean. And in a way, I guess you are in one." Yami spoke up as he took a seat at the couch.
Tea began to frown when no one picked up on the other end.
"I think Seto's in trouble Yami." She said to him as she dialed the number again.
Yami looked at her and got up. "Let me try." He said as he took the phone away from her.
He punched in the numbers and waited on the other end. Yami tried to keep his face steady. "He's not picking up." Phone still in hand.
"Oh god. Seto! Please be safe!" She said.
Yami waited until he could get to the message system.
After a few minutes, Yami hung up and took a seat at the couch beside Tea. She was holding onto her head.
"Tea don't worry, I'm sure he's fine!" Yami said as he held onto her shoulders.
"No! Nothing is fine Yami. Everyone is getting hurt because of me. First Serenity, now Seto, and now you could be at risk too. Not just you, everyone! Oh god. Why is this happening to me Yami? Why? What fucking bastard could do this!" She yelled as a tear slid down her cheek.
"Tea, it's not your fault. How were you supposed to know what your life would hold for you? Everything will be fine, you'll see. We'll all be happy again soon." He said as he smiled to her.
"I hope you're right Yami." She said as she wiped away her few tears.
--
" SHIT!" he yelled as the dagger sliced his arm.
Satanic laughter aroused. "Like I said Kaiba, you are a fool."
Kaiba simply smirked a bit as he stood up again. For some odd reason, he was confident he would win.
" Don't get over yourself Marik." He finally said. I picked up a long sharp tree branch and whipped it at the man. I dashed forward and grabbed the dagger out of his hands.
"Good bye to you Marik!" I said as I brought the dagger down.
I stopped less then an inch from his chest. I smirked again as I saw Marik's eyes closed.
"That would be a smart move Kaiba." He said.
"Don't worry, your chances of surviving aren't big. Now tell me who is it!"
--
They sat there in silence for a while now. Tea looked up and she decided she'd try calling again. She got out of Yami's small embrace and walked towards the phone.
She picked it up and punched in those numbers again. Still no reply. She waited until she got onto the message machine.
"Hey Seto. Please call me back soon. I'm worried about you. Please! We're at your old cabin. The one on Rosedale. Please come by soon. Please be safe. I love you Seto." She simply said as she hung up again.
"Oh god." She sighed as she just leaned against the wall. She put her head against the wall and closed her eyes.
"Everything okay?" Yami asked. She opened her eyes to see him standing in front of her.
She gave him a small smile and nodded. "Thank you Yami." She said.
He simply nodded back and turned towards the window.
Tea began to think again. 'Oh god. Please be okay Seto. I don't want to lose you. Oh god. Everyone's getting hurt because of me. First Serenity…Serenity! I forgot to ask how she was doing.' She thought. She turned towards the phone again and dialed the hospital number.
Yami just turned to her and stared at her. "Are you trying again?" He asked as he leaned against the window.
Before she could answer him, someone picked up on the other end.
"Hi, I was wondering if you could connect me to room 209?"
"Yes madam, one second."
"Sure." She said as she waited. She stared at Yami giving her a questioning look.
'Serenity' she mouthed. He simply nodded and turned back to the window.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Mai? It's me Tea."
"Oh my god Tea!" She heard Mai almost scream. She could hear the others in the background practically yelling.
"Is everything okay?" She asked Mai.
"Tea! Where are you? Are you okay?" Mai screamed. She then heard her yell at everyone else to keep it down.
"I'm fine how's Serenity?" She asked again. Yami now stood beside her. He was curious to know how she was doing too.
"She woke up! And..."
"What! That's great news! She woke up!" She said happily out loud.
"Tea! Listen. You're in danger. Serenity woke up the other guy was…"
Click
Tea's eyes widened. She still held the phone to her ear. She just stared in shock at the hand on the phone.
He was looking towards the floor. His eyes were covered by his bangs.
"Y-Ya…mi?" She stuttered a bit.
(NOTE: haha! I was going to end it here:P but since I made you all wait longer.. I decided to go on!)
She was glued to her spot. She couldn't think, nor could she move.
He slowly looked at her, his eyes slowly traveling up to her face. He was wearing a grin on his features.
He simply laughed out loud at the look she held on her face.
"Hello Tea." He said as he took a step towards her. She was already up against the wall and couldn't move any more. She clutched the receiver to her chest and tried to back away into the wall. He placed an arm above her shoulder against the wall, and used his free had to take the receiver out of her hands. She let it go and he put it down. Her arms were now down to her side as his free arm took it's place on the other side of her head.
"…W… what a-are y-you do-ing?" She stuttered. She was frozen in her spot and was afraid to move.
He simply gave her a small smile and looked down into her eyes. She turned her face away from him and looked towards her left. She heard him chuckle and felt his hand get a hold on her chin. He forced her to look towards him again. He was still smiling. She could feel his thumb stroking the side of her chin and she could see him beginning to close the gap between the two. 'He's going to kiss me!' She thought as she stared at him. As if on instinct, she raised her arms against his chest and pushed him away. She managed to get him far enough from her face, but he still stood there, pinning her against the wall.
"What do you think you're doing?" She nearly yelled. She stared at her so-called friend that stood in front of her. This man was the one? He was the one that tried to kill Seto? He was the one that wanted to hurt her? Why?
He smiled again and just looked at her. "I'm just here to claim what is mine."
Tea began to shake in fear as she felt his arm slide down her neck. The hand traveled down her arm and came to a rest on her hips. His other hand still on the left side of the wall by her face.
"Don't take that right away from me Tea." He whispered as his face began to inch closer to her once again. She tried to move again but the hand at her hip now was wrapped around her waist.
"Let me go!" She screamed as she struggled against his hold. He pulled her towards him and held onto her with a strong grip.
She cried out again and began pounding his chest. "LET ME GO!" She screamed again.
