"Sire, the Hunters are coming this way"
"Hmm…" Bakura mumbled


Outside the main entrance of the building, the Fallen ones were blocking the Hunters' way.
"We'll take care of them. You, with the first chance, you'll get in for your brother!" Nikolai said
"Yes sir!" Yugi nodded
"Get ready!" Nikolai roared, "Attack!


Meanwhile dozens of feet underground, inside an all-dark dungeon, Yami was tied on the wall by the wrists. He was hanging there, soullessly in the darkness. A sound was heard in the room as if a door had opened and a small beam of light got into the room from it. Tea stood there hesitatingly for a second and she then ran to Yami and one by one she unlocked Yami's handcuffs. Yami fell on the floor soullessly. Tea slowly approached him and knelt before him.
"We don't have much time…" she whispered
"No, we don't!" Yami suddenly whispered grabbing her neck with a harsh move, "…to be honest, we don't have time at all!" he kept on his deadly whisper while he was standing up slowly
"Don't!…" Tea gasped chokingly while struggling to breathe in Yami's grip while Yami was holding her there hanging by the neck.
Her feet weren't touching the ground.
"Why are you here?" Yami whispered again through clenched teeth glaring at her with hate, "how can you make me even more miserable! What else is left of me to take it!"
"Your brother…a-alive…Vampire-…Vampire. Hunters!" Tea managed to utter breathlessly with Yami's hand clenching her neck like a clamp
"He's alive?!" Yami gasped out and opened his hand letting Tea fall to the floor coughing and struggling to breathe again
"Where is he!" Yami demanded but Tea didn't answer because she still couldn't
She was still coughing.
"Where is he!" Yami raised his voice, "TELL ME!" he finally bellowed.
Tea drew a deep breath.
"The Vampire Hunters. They are attacking the building right now. Yugi is with them" she said
"Oh, no! I must help him!" he mumbled and prepared himself to take his leave
"What are you going to do?! In the condition you are now, you'll get killed!"
"And why do you care? You never cared for me anyway!"
Tea remained on her knees.
"No, you're wrong. Please, don't go from there! The place is full of Vampires"
Yami's sharp laughter echoed to the stonewalls of the dungeon for a second.
"And why should I believe you? You never told me the truth anyway!"
"No! You're wrong! I love you!"
Yami turned his gaze elsewhere and looked melancholically outside the cell.
"Yes, that's what I thought too" he turned to look at her once more, "I thought you were different and that you really loved me, but no. You are like all other vampires. You care only about yourself!"
"No!" tears were burning her eyes, "Everything I did, I did it for you, I swear!"
For one more time Yami laughed sarcastically.
"So now I have to thank you, right? My heart doesn't react to pain anymore! For all these days I have experienced every kind of pain; Hitting, cutting, stabbing, deprivation, hunger, thirst, losing my friends, betrayal and nearly the pain of losing the most precious person I have in the world. There is no pain that can affect me anymore so yes, thank you!"
"Yami…"
"SHUT UP!" Yami bellowed, "Shut up! I don't want to listen to you anymore!"
He turned his head to the other side again.
"If only I had never met you!" he mumbled
"And all the things we lived? They don't mean anything for you anymore?"
He looked at her over his shoulder
"Everything we lived was a dream… Too good to be true!" he mumbled
Tea felt her heart torn apart. It was impossible!
"NO!" she exclaimed falling before him hugging his feet pleadingly and crying her heart out, "No, Yami! Please! I love you! I really love you!"
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Yami yelled breaking free from her grasp, "Don't touch me again! Don't you dare to touch me ever again!"
He looked at her how she was fallen on the floor with disgust.
"You sicken me!" he spat at her venomously and left the room leaving Tea behind him completely broken on the floor and she was crying her eyes out on the stone floor.
She was crying her eyes out mournfully…all alone… Bitterly remorseful…


At the entrance, the Hunters were battling with the Fallen ones.
"Shoot them on the head or their heart and they will die immediately!" Nikolai yelled to Yugi
"Okay!" Yugi said
He then saw a figure jumping from roof to roof starting from THAT building's roof.
"Yami!" Yugi exclaimed, "Yami escaped!" he yelled to the others
"Retreat!" Nikolai ordered
"You keep going! I'm going for Yami"
"Be careful, rookie!"
Yugi simply nodded.


Yami, crawling in the shadows and detouring the guards he had managed to climb to the roof and started to run away. After he jumped a few buildings he stopped because he felt a violent growling in his stomach. Three days non-stop torment without a single drop of blood. That growling was more violent and painful than ever. His throat started to burn more than ever before and one strong stab-like pain in his heart made him moan in pain and collapse to his knees. As if someone had punched him in the stomach, his breath got cut. He had never felt like this before.
His eyes were glowing red and his body had no longer the strength to hold him. He raised his shaking hand to his neck rasping heavily. The sweat was running like a river. He fell flat on the floor of the roof. Growling then was heard. He opened his eyes to see he was surrounded by Fallen ones but also from the last vampire-servants of Bakura's.
"Get him!" one of them said
The Fallen ones growled and started approaching him. Then as if out of nowhere a figure jumped in their way holding a knife… Tea with one swift swing of the knife cut a Fallen One's head and then with the speed of a lightning she stabbed the heart of a vampire.
"Don't you dare to touch him! Stay away from him!" she yelled
They attacked all together. Tea threw herself to battle. She stabbed one of them, she cut the throat of another. A Fallen one hit her with his claws. Another vampire hit her hard however she didn't stop. She leaped high and landed in front of the man she loved still, with all her heart
"Run, Yami!" she yelled
However Yami growled in pain and remained fallen to the ground rasping with his hand on his neck.
"No!" Tea whispered
She clenched her hand around the handle of her knife. She would protect him! She rushed forward again with all the rest coming against her. She was fighting. The knife was shining in the last rays of the sun. She saw Yami writhing in pain.
"Yami!" she called out
"Leave me alone!" he growled at her and then moaned in pain again and his head fell back down.
Tea was more determined than ever and she kept on fighting with all her being. She was wiped out most of them. Only four of them were left. Her whole body was full with hits. The blade at her hand was dripping with blood. One of them hit her one more time. She stabbed him. She did the same with the next one. Two vampires were left.
One of them hit her hard on the wall. The knife fell from her hand. Tea mopped a blood-trail from her lips with the back of her fist, she got up and with great heat she started fighting with her hands and legs! One of her opponents found her knife. He took it and tried to cut her head with it with a single swing. She bent down, dodging it and instead of cutting her neck he cut the throat of his partner. Tea grabbed the knife from his hand and stabbed it to his chest.
She didn't wait to see whether he had died or not, she turned around looking at Yami, who was trying to lift his body off the ground. The other found the chance and remaining he hit her hard. Tea fell with her back against the wall. She moaned in pain. The fatally wounded vampire grabbed her knife and aimed it at Yami. With the last remaining strength of his, he threw the knife.
"NO!" Tea screamed
She ran and got between Yami and the knife and so she took the hit straight to the chest. Only a breathless sigh escaped her lips.
"ANZU!" Yami screamed
The vampire fell dead. Tea, shaking all over, looked down at the knife in her chest and then collapsed to the ground. Completely ignoring the sharp pain of his, Yami crawled on the roof's floor till Tea and he lifted half of her body in his arms.
"Anzu!" he groaned, "Anzu!"
Tea opened her eyes and smiled faintly
"You are fine!…I'm so glad!" she mumbled
"Why, Anzu? Why?" Yami whispered
Tea took a really deep breath
"Because I love you, Yami…with all my heart and soul!"
Her body twitched once.
"I…I will heal you! I'll find the way!" Yami said in a shaking voice
However Anzu shook her head negatively.
"The knife has stabbed through my heart…I won't…" she stopped to breathe
"No! Don't leave me!" Yami lisped shaking her softly
Tea looked at him again. Her lips were smiling but tears were running from her eyes.
"I am sorry, Yami. Forgive me for everything I've put you through…" her voice had turned into a whisper right now, "…please forgive me…"
"You saved my life! And now you ask for forgiveness?!" his eyes were watery
She drew one more breath. Words were leaving her lips more difficultly now.
"I'm sorry that I am leaving you…and I am taking one part of you with me…"
"You will always have my heart…"
Tea smiled a sad smile.
"I am not talking for that kind of part…"
She took astonished Yami's hand and placed it on her stomach. The small, almost unintentional, move he felt cut Yami's hand in two. He felt one tiny heart beating. His face winced as if someone had hit him with no warning.
"No…" he whispered in a barely noticeable voice
Tea nodded.
"Yes…" she whispered, "I have inside me…your child…" Her fingers clenched Yami's hand on her stomach weakly, "I am pregnant and you are the father"
Even the horrible pain he was still feeling, seemed completely insignificant comparing to those words.
"If only I could…If only I could do anything…"
"Kiss me…" Tea whispered so lowly that her voice wasn't heard
"What?" Yami lisped
Tea gathered the last hints of strength inside her and whispered:
"I would like you to say goodbye to me…with a kiss…on the lips…"
Yami bent down and placed his lips over hers. His tears were running down her face. He felt something like a breeze in his mouth. He pulled back softly.
Tea had died…


Oh goodness! I finally updated it! Sorry for the delay!

Anyway...another sad chapter I am sorry! Tea is no more...What's worse...she was pregnant! Poor Yami! And now...something is wrong with Yami! His torments have done something to him! What's going on? Well wait and see!

The first scene with Tea and Yami was inspired by the movie "The Incredibles" when that Mirage woman tried to set free.
At least you see that Yami doesn't hate her...
As for how Yami was holding Tea...of course you can imagine it is something like this: Yami kneeling beside her and hold her upper body in his arms, with his arm behind her shoulder etc. (I hope it helps! ^^;)

And Yes Yami has his eyes glowing red all the time because of the thing happening to him...
