CHAPTER 6
Yami watched as Tiri slept quietly next to him. He had been up for a few hours just watching her and thinking about his dream. He had heard Yugi leave for school and the shop wasn't open to day because Grandpa had gone to visit his niece, so Yami just stayed where he was.
Tiri stirred and opened her eyes.
Good morning Tiri.
What time is it? she asked as she turned onto her back.
10:30.
10:30! Tiri sat up straight Why aren't you in the shop? Why ....?
Yami put a hand on her shoulder.
It's ok, we don't have to open the shop today, remember?
Tiri nodded and quickly faced him.
NIce bruise. she pointed to his jaw, which now had a black - blue bruise on it.
Yami put his hand to it and rubbed it.
I forgot about it. You have a mean left hook.
Tiri turned away from him.
I should ... go downstairs make Yugi his lunch.
Yami took her wrist.
Tiri, this ... he pointed to his jaw doesn't bother me. I understand why you did it. There's no need for you to go. Plus Yugi doesn't come home for lunch.
Tiri nodded and silence fell between them. Tiri was the first to speak.
I'm sorry Yami. I didn't mean to hit you I was upset and I don't know what came over me.
Yami sat behind her and slowly put his arms around her waist. She straightened up at this action.
I said it didn't bother me. I forgive you if you want to hear it.
Tiri smiled and looked over her shoulder at him then leaned back against him. That's when Yami noticed the 4, nearly invisible, scars on Tiri's cheek. unconsciously he traced the scars.
Tiri's eyes widened as she realised and quickly pushed herself away from him, her hand covering the scars.
How did you know they were there?
Yami stood and took a step towards her, she quickly backed away. Yami noticed the fear in her eyes.
Tiri calm down I ...
You shouldn't know, unless Frankie ... she ran out the door.
Yami followed her, but keeping his distance, seeing she was in a panic.
Tiri stopped just outside the shop and looked around. Yami walked up behind her.
Tiri please. I had this dream, I saw bits of your past, the argument you had with Frankie to get those scars, that's how I know where they are?
Tiri turned, keeping her hand to her face. Yami walked closer, his eyes widened as he saw blood seeping through her fingers.
Tiri are you ok? He asked taking another step towards her.
No, I feel so embarrassed. Yami smiled Why did I run out here?
Feeling it was safe Yami took her in his arms.
Tiri looked up at him. I'm glad you're here. She reached up and kissed him. As she pulled away she spoke again.
I am sorry about this.
She quickly punched him in the jaw, causing him to stumble back.
Tiri why? His eyes narrowed. Frankie. he hissed
Very good Pharaoh. Frankie walked up behind Tiri You learn quick, but I don't have time for this. Tiri?
Yes Frankie?
Be nice to him. she smirked.
Tiri turned as Kiya and Miya appeared. She raised her hand towards Yami. A purple ball of energy flew into Yami. slamming him into the wall. He could only watch as Tiri left with Frankie, to rejoin Black Widow, before darkness overcame him.
R+R There will be more. Has Tiri really rejoined? Will Yami go after her? What is Frankie up to? All this and more in the next chapter.
