AnimeFan: O.o' Honestly! Some of you people scare me. Did you really think that I, number one Tea Gardener hater in all the universe, would have Tea be her supposedly innocent self in one of my stories? HA! I portray her only as the bitch she really is. Now...for reward time for the contest from the last chapter...
Madison: (walks in with cards and a white bag) Oky, everyone! I'm going to announce the winners and give them prizes! ^^
Leland - Sorry, but the answer isn't cock fighting. You're close though! AnimeFan got the Bitch Fighting idea from real life's dog fighting. You know, where they pit dog's against each other till only one is left standing? It's just wrong I tell ya! 9__9 However, you did state Seto's name in your review so I assume you want a kissy from him and since you were the only one to guess the origins of Bitch Fighting... (she pulls real live Seto Kaiba out of her white bag)
Seto: Huh?
AnimeFan: Rules are rules, Seto-san! Give Leland a kissy! ^^
Seto: Er...I don't think that would be wise, you see...
AnimeFan, Leland, and Madison: JUST DO IT!!!!
Seto: Oo' Ok, ok, but it's your grave you're digging. (walks over and gives Leland a huge kissy on the lips) Happy?
AnimeFan: There ya go, see that wasn't so hard Seto-kun. Seto-kun? Where are you going?
Seto: (was sneaking out the back) Away before Yami crosses the distance from his computer to yours and Leland's. I told you that wasn't a good idea.
(Somewhere far off down the road) Yami: DIE!!! NO ONE KISSES MY PRECIOUS BLUE EYES BUT ME!!!!!
AnimeFan: oO' Well...um...next person! (gestures to bodyguards to seal off all entrances)
Achika-chan - Yep, Seto has been drugged! You win there. ^^ (Madison pulls out a rather scruffy looking Malik from her white bag)
Malik: OO? WHAT THE FUCK!!
AnimeFan: Hi Malik-sama! Will you give Achika-chan a kiss?
Malik: Huh? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?
AnimeFan: -____- Oh, that's right. I've never really used Malik in my stories except once.
Madison: Yeah, and you had him killed cause he was the naughty bad guy. ^^
Malik: (is looking around with a confused expression before glancing at his watch) Gah! I'm missing How To Conquer The World And Still Get A Date For The School Dance! I can't miss today's episode!! Nooo!!! (runs out the door to desperately get back to his TV)
AnimeFan: HEY! Wait, you still owe Achika-chan a kiss! Quick! Start the chapter while I go drag Malik back so Achika-chan can get her kiss! (runs off after Malik with a bishi ball in hand) I SHALL CATCH THEM ALL!!! ^-^'

Chapter 10
((Yami's POV))
Stepping into the apartment, Yami was overcome with an immediate hunch that something just wasn't quite right. Abandoning Madison at the door, Yami stormed through every room of their apartment in search of his koi. No...no...NO!! Where the hell is his Seth! Where the hell was Tea? Damnit, if that women had done anything to hurt his beloved blue eyes hell itself would be heaven after what he'd do to that bitch!!!
Hey, Yami-san! There's a note here on the refrigerator! Madison called in from the kitchen.
Quickly returning, he snatched the note from her hand and read it furiously:
Dear Yami,
You'd never believe it but Tea is actually being nice for once! Just in case you get home before us, Tea's taking me to some pub nearby to introduce me to some other demon friends of hers. This is so cool!! You were right, she's not so bad. I guess I was just overreacting or something. She even thinks we make a cute couple. Well I'd better get going. My cell phone number is (625) 238-7399. Love ya! Bye.
Seth
See! Everything is peachy, Yami-sama! To think you were so worried about such a small thing like this, Madison chirped with a happy smile.
Yami read the note over three to four times, I don't know, Madison. Something just doesn't feel right. He doesn't even say what pub they're going to!
Madison gave him a thoughtful look and pressed her cheek in with a finger, Why don't you just call him and check!
Hmm, that's a good idea Madison...I'll do just that!
Pulling out his phone, Yami punched in the cell number and raised the small device to his ear. Madison, pleased with herself, went to raid Seth-san's refrigerator for something to snack on...namingly cake or even cotton candy if there was some! Finally after a couple of rings, a female's voice answered on the other side of the phone...
Yeah! Hello?
WHO THE HELL IS THIS!
Yami-san? Oh heyo, Yami! It's just me, Tea.
WHY ISN'T THIS SETH ANSWERING HIS PHONE?!!
Calm down, silly! Seth ate the friday night special even though I told him not to so he's in the little boy's room puking up his guts at the moment. He left his phone behind and when it rang I decided to answer it for him.
Oh...well I was just calling to check on him.
Well, I'll tell him you called out of lover's panic and let him know you love him.
Oh...ok, thanks Tea. Bye.
Yami turned off his phone and placed it back into its designated pocket feeling like a fool and an idiot. How could he have suspected Tea, one of his best friends! She'd never done anything like what he had accused her of before. Was it just him being overly protective and jealous? Well, he really didn't want to lose Seth again, not now that he had him for himself. Still, how could he of been so cold-hearted as to of blamed that poor girl for doing anything bad such as kidnapping or killing his Seth. Tea was his friend, after all, she wouldn't really do something like that! Would she?
((Seth's POV))
He felt like he was waking up from a hangover! Seth groaned and rolled over to lay on his side. His movement, however, was restricted by something cold and metallic on his wrists and ankles. Suddenly he realized the metallic objects were chains. Oh shit! His eyes flew open and he immediately noticed that he was spread out on some kind of concrete table with his arms chained above his head and his legs spread apart and chained down. To make matters worse, his clothes were gone and he instead was garbed in tight leather pants and leather, fingerless gloves that snaked up to stop at his elbows and held there securely by a gold band on each arm with the eye of Horus shimmering brightly in the dim light. He suspected to be wearing a third gold band on his neck since there was definitely something heavy below his chin.
Frantic to get his bearings, Seth momentarily forgot his wardrobe and struggled in his bonds to look about. The room he was in was dome shaped with a skylight that showed the starry night sky outside. The walls were lined with shelves stacked full of old looking books and scrolls. Bottles full of strange powders and body parts scattered the desks and countertops below the shelves and a particularly large book was set on an alter not far from where his prison of a table was set. On the floor below him was a large star shaped symbol within a circle that had been drawn into the black cement floor with white chalk.
All in all, Seth got the creepy feeling that he was in some kind of room like the one's in movies about black magic and Satin. The whole place practically screamed Gulping nervously, he became aware of another presence in the room. It was right behind him, but that wasn't why he felt suddenly chilled. The presence was there, but it was hollow. Whatever it was, it lived but it lived unconsciously. It had NO soul...literally. Even the undead possessed a fragment of their old soul, but this thing had absolutely nothing in it. He couldn't even depict a trace of a soul ever even occupying the thing.
Footsteps drew him out of his thoughts of the other presence and Seth wrestled with his chains till he was able to see the door at the west side of his domed prison. A second after he laid his eyes on the wooden door it opened and two figures stepping into the room, their faces shadowed from his sight.
Can we get this damn spell going! Yami could return any moment and realize we're not home! Tea's voice echoed against the walls.
Seth watched as she walked into the section of the room where the moonlight was shining into. She was dressed in a robe just like the Magician of Faith, her small blackish-red bat-wings spread open in irritation, and her tail whipping the ground to emphasize it. If he hadn't of already known who she was, he could of easily mistaken her for Satin. Awe hell, he knew perfectily well who she was and still thought her to be the big red man himself...or maybe his daughter...or whore.
My dear, I understand your impatience...trust me. But we have to wait till the solar eclipse! Only the crimson light of the eclipse can provide us with the magical energy we need to carry out this ceremony.
That voice...Seth shivered as that icy voice went in one ear and froze his insides before it could go out the other. He had heard that voice before, it haunted his dreams...his nightmares. Only one other person had ever defeated him in a duel besides Yami and that person was the master of a voice exactely like that. No...it couldn't truelly be him? Yet the man who had come into the room with Tea walked into the light so that the dimming moonlight made his silvery hair shimmer with a ghostly whiteness, like an angel of death.
he growled, the icyness immediately returning to his voice after so long.
Pegasus and Tea haulted their conversation and turned to look at the brunette in surprise.
So you're finally awake, Seto-boy, Pegasus cooed.
It made Seth want to puke right there, Let me guess, you were the cloaked man at the pub. As for you Tea...you fat assed, uneven breasted, annoying, foul breathed, bitch of Satin...
Pegasus cracked and covered his mouth so Tea couldn't hear his laughter at Seth's comment.
THAT'S ENOUGH KAIBA! Say one more word and I'll make the one you care for suffer as soon as he's restored!!
You. Will. Bring. No harm. TO YAMI!! He spat out each word in a dangerously venomous tone.
Tea gave him a cocky smirk and flipped her hair back, Who said I was talking about Yami. As I told you, Kaiba, I got over my crush for him years ago. There's another I love, and you possess the key in which to restore him to us.
Seth stared at her like she was an idiot. What the hell was this women talking about?! He cared only for Yami, there was no one else alive that his heart belonged to. Great, he's been kidnapped by the world's grandest bitch AND ditsy brunette.
Don't look at me like I'm stupid, Kaiba. Once the ceremony is over you'll--
A loud ringing interrupted whatever speech she was preparing and Seth silently smirked when he say Pegasus look up to the sky, place his hands together, and pray a silent thank you. Turning towards the offending ringing, Seth watched as Tea pulled out his cell phone from a draw in one of the counters.
She turned it on and answered, Yeah! Hello?
The room stayed silent as the two men waited to hear what she'd say.
Yami-san? Oh heyo, Yami! It's just me, Tea.
It was Seth's turn to get all cocky, Now what will you do, Tea! Yami's onto you.
Tea covered the phone and gave him a superior smile, as if to mock his overconfidence, Just watch and learn, Kaiba.
A loud noise from the phone told them all that Yami was yelling his head off. He was no doubt worried. Seth could already see Yami grabbing his coat and heading out to his rescue. Hah! Tea should of thought twice before messing with his koi and him.
Calm down, silly! Tea exclaimed and smiled as the most brilliant story came to her, Seth ate the friday night special even though I told him not to so he's in the little boy's room puking up his guts at the moment. He left his phone behind and when it rang I decided to answer it for him.
No way...Yami wouldn't really believe that! Would he?
Well, I'll tell him you called out of lover's panic and let him know you love him.
Wha?! Seth started to shout out to Yami but Pegasus was at his side and covering his mouth before he could even get a sound out of him.
Tea turned off the phone and placed it back into the desk draw before turning around with that annoyingly ugly victory smirk plastered to her face, Looks like Yami-san won't be coming for you anytime soon, my loudmouthed captive.
Seth scowled and let out a string of the most vile words he could think of in every language he could speak.
Pegasus wagged his finger and made a tsking sound, Naughty, naughty....Kaiba-boy. Such foul language from my pet.
Seth's heart took a near leap off an invincible cliff as Pegasus trailed one finger down his cheek to his lips. Oh holly hell, well...he now knew how Pegasus fit into all of this. NO! He didn't want to become this gay-ass bastard's sex toy!!
Pegasus...please save the intimacy for later! The solar eclipse has almost begun and I want my sweet little love back!
What the hell are you talking about! Seto half-yelled, unable to completely cuss the bitch out since she just saved him from whatever Pegasus had been planning to do just then.
Tea smirked and crossed her arms, I'm glad you asked. Did you know, Kaiba, that Yami has been in love with you from the first day the two of you met? Well he has. Of course, he didn't know it and you didn't know it...frankly know one did, except me. Oh Kaiba, I saw right through Yami. I noticed every accidental brushes as the two of you would walk by each other, I noticed how Yami preferred dueling you to hanging out with all the rest of us, I NOTICED every little blush that crept across his face when you would actually compliment him for something. The way he would swoon when you smiled. I knew! Everyone else was just to blind to see.
Seth wanted to groan. She was at it again, already preaching her speeches...but for once this speech interested him. Now that she mentioned it, he was starting to notice those small things he had always just shrugged off as nothing all those years ago. Had Yami loved him for that long?
I knew it was to late for me to make Yami mine. For you, without realizing it, had already grasped his heart in the palm of your hands. So I swallowed my pride and allowed things to be the way they were. Then I found myself falling for another, Kaiba. A sweet, kindhearted boy who wasn't some gay-ass freak like the rest of the gang! I liked him...and he liked me, everything was perfect. Then one day he came knocking on my door saying Tea, Tea, I need to speak to someone who can understand and help me! So I opened the door and let him in. And you know what he said, Kaiba?
Seth shook his head dumbly, becoming increasingly creeped out by her.
Tea murmured and lowered herself till she was only inches from his face, Because if you did I'd kill you right here and now. He told me he was in love. In love with...you. Something about memories of his past life returning to him and with them, feelings of old resurfacing. You see, Kaiba. You took Yami away from me. Then you took the other away as well, when I finally thought I'd have the happiness I wanted.
Seth was frozen, not knowing if she was going to kiss him or rip out his eyes with such close proximity, T-Tea, I have no idea who you're talking about! The only other person that I ever loved besides Yami and Mokuba was...
He didn't finish as she turned the table he was strapped to around so he could see behind him. Pegasus had turned another stone table that had been behind his around as well, so he was looking straight at the thing strapped to the other table. His eyes widened as he laid eyes on the being whose presence existed with no soul. Violet eyes, devoid of all emotion and self-awareness stared at him...or rather through him. Suddenly Seth knew who Tea had been referring to. The only other person besides Yami and Mokuba that he had ever loved. His angel, his friend...
