Author's Notes:  I'll upload 'Chaos In Egypt' tomorrow. I will upload it a few chapters at a time, because new people might be confused if it's all uploaded at once.  (That happened the last time) And then I'll finish the last chapter and end the story.

Reviews and Couplings:  Thanks for the reviews and couple's suggestions. I think I have a good idea on how this will go now! Remember that this is a mystery, so it won't be revealed till later on, but I will slowly explain what's happening to Téa and Yami Bakura. Enjoy!

Chapter 2:

Truly Madly Deeply

Pale slim hands reached up to brush away the silver mane of hair obscuring his face. Bakura couldn't seem to concentrate on his schoolwork anymore. Everything was just a big blur. Slowly his pencil stopped moving and he just sat there, staring at the paper before him. Five questions were left unanswered. He just could concentrate. Aggravated, he slammed his pencil down and put his head in his folded arms. This is becoming too dangerous. The darkness within me is going to hurt the people I care for if I don't stop it! Téa could have died!  Just watching her crying helplessly in his arms practically broke his heart. Why did she run to that darkness instead of away from it? She must have been afraid. And that dream…what could they mean? Deciding to try once more, Bakura picked up his pencil and began to write again. A dark light shone around him. Deep inside his soul, the darkness he feared was listening to the young mind of his host. Perhaps I should give her something to really be afraid of!

The bell rang to end the class and the school day as well. Yugi and his group gathered around and began to chat about where to hang out after school. Bakura gathered his things and silently ducked out the door. After all, he really wasn't part of Yugi's group of friends. He was just a tag along who helped them out from time to time. No one could ever really be near him long enough, seeing as that ring could destroy people instantly if the darkness was released.  Téa laughed as Joey and Yugi began to play rock paper scissors, in order to see who will pay for movie they agreed to see that night. Yugi won, naturally. Joey started to wave his hands around frantically, knocking Téa's bag off of the desk.

"Joey! Be careful! My cell phone is in there!" She whined as she knelt down to pick her bag up. She glared at him as she dusted it off. "Stupid boys…" She muttered. Just as she picked up her bag and slung it over her shoulder, she winced in pain. Her wrist was very sore and slightly swollen. "Ow…" She gritted her teeth, trying not to cause a seen.

Unfortunately, Bakura noticed this and frowned. "He hurt her…and it's all my fault." He said sadly, walking out of the room.

Téa groaned and held her wrist tightly.

"Are you alright, Téa?" Yugi asked with concerned eyes.

"Hmmm, I'm fine; just a bit sore. I think it's sprained." She said, remembering the event that caused this to happen. I don't blame him.

Sounds of running feet echoed through the museum.

"Seto!" Ishizu cried as she grabbed her side.

"We can't stop! We have to get to the roof!" He shouted.

Ishizu winced and rubbed the stitch in her side and continued. In a matter of seconds they had climbed five flights of stairs and opened the door to the roof. The wind was sharp and piecing in the fall evening air. Ishizu shivered and covered her bare arms, trying to keep them warm. The door burst open and three men came out holding guns at their heads.

Kaiba growled. "What do you bastards want?" He snapped.

One of the men simply laughed and pointed their gun and Ishizu. "Give us the woman!" He said in a raspy voice.

Ishizu glanced nervously over at Kaiba.

Kaiba narrowed his eyes. "Come and get her!" He hissed.

The man smirked and pulled back on the trigger.

A gun went off, as Ishizu covered her eyes, preparing for the blow, but all she felt was a brisk wind and a sharp cry of pain. Her eyes shot open as she looked down and saw the man on the ground bleeding, his gun meters from her feet. Looking horrified, she turned around and saw Kaiba holding a gun and glaring down at the unconscious man below him.

"I warned you!" He aimed his gun at the other men.

"Seto…" she gasped.

The silent moment was broken when one of the men grabbed Ishizu's arm and twisted it behind her back. She cried out, but was silenced with a hand to her mouth. "If you care about the girl, you will do as I say!"

Kaiba held the gun at the man's forehead.

"This woman is accused of committing a crime and must be taken in for investigation!"

Ishizu closed her eyes.

"What crime?" Kaiba asked.

The man smirked. "We have proof she was the one who gave the orders to have her brother murdered!"

Kaiba stared in shock. 'Murdered?' He mouthed, not really being able to say the words out loud. "How can that be? Her brother disappeared in the dessert, she was at her home by that time!"

The man signalled for the other man to bring Ishizu toward him. "I'm afraid that we have proof she had hired someone to take out her brother after she found out that he was on to her scheme."

Kaiba was growing more agitated. "What scheme is that?" He shouted.

Ishizu opened her eyes and looked sadly up at Kaiba.

"We have reason to believe she has been sent to kill you."

Kaiba's eyes opened wide. He looked over at Ishizu. She was shaking her head. He looked away disgusted.

"And you mister Kaiba, has committed a serious crime too, I am afraid we'll have to take you in as well!"

Kaiba glared. "What crime is that?" He asked.

"You killed that man!"

Kaiba looked quickly over at the man who appeared to not be breathing. "How could I have done that? I shot him in the arm! I don't kill people!"

The man smirked again and held his gun at Kaiba's head. "You are under arrest Kaiba, for the murder of officer Moland and for aiding and abetting this criminal! Take them away!"

Kaiba struggled violently. "I didn't kill him! I didn't do it!"

The man laughed as he bent over his dead companion. "He took the pill…good…"

Kaiba's cries and pleas faded into the night as him and Ishizu were taken off the roof and into a car waiting below. "I didn't kill him! I'm not the murderer!!!"

Yugi entered the game shop and kicked his shoes off. Hanging up his coat, he walked into the main room and saw his grandpa watching the news.

His mother was shaking her head and mumbling something about 'I knew that kid would eventually snap…'

"What's going on?" Yugi asked.

"Kaiba was arrested. Seems he murdered some officer."

Yugi's eyes went wide. "What? Kaiba's not like that! He must have been framed!"

Yugi's mother sighed. "They don't seem to have any real proof. I wouldn't worry too much about it."

Yugi nodded, still bugged by the whole event. He walked up the stairs and sat down on his bed. He reached over for the phone and began to dial a number.

***

Téa was reading a book on the couch, when the phone startled her. She looked up at the clock. "It's a bit late for my friends to be calling." She picked it up on the third ring. "Hello?"

Yugi's frantic voice was heard on the other line. "Téa! It's Yugi! I'm so sorry to call this late, but I have news!"

Téa jumped up off the couch. "Whoa! Slow down Yugi, what's wrong?"

Yugi cleared his throat. "Téa, Kaiba has been arrested!"

Téa sat back down, almost too shocked to move. "Why?" She asked, fearing the answer.

"He murdered a police officer!"

Téa frowned. "That doesn't sound like Kaiba."

Yugi nodded on his end. "That's what I said. Something's up."

Téa was about to say something, when her mother called out to her.

"It's time for bed, you shouldn't be on the phone so late!"

Téa sighed. "I have to go Yugi, my mom heard everything. I'm going to be so dead for talking past my curfew."

Yugi frowned. "Sorry, Téa. It's my fault!"

She shook her head. "No, once I tell my mother why, she'll understand. Well, good night Yugi, we'll chat tomorrow!"

"Alright, night, Téa!"

Téa hung the phone up and ascended the stairs. "Something really weird is going on. I'd better just get to sleep and not think about it."

***

That night, Téa tossed and turned in her sleep, having a semi unpleasant dream.

Téa opened her eyes and found herself still in bed.  "Huh? I thought I was asleep. I guess I really do have too much on my mind." She gasped as she saw a shadow against the wall, moving closer.

"Hello, Téa."

She felt her face grow very hot as the figure leaned over the side of the bed and looked into her fearful eyes. "Bakura…I…what are you doing here?" She said in a shaky tone.

He reached over and caressed her face. "Such beauty…"

Téa blushed. "Bakura, I…"

"You what?"

"I want this as much as you…" She confessed. Téa began stroking his hair and letting the strands slip through her fingertips.

Dark Bakura looked down at her. His eyes were unreadable. He reached out and pressed his fingers to her lips, running them smoothly over the soft textured skin. "I know…but not yet…"

She closed her eyes and sighed deeply. The feel of his fingers on her lips disappeared suddenly.

Téa opened her eyes and saw her room was completely empty. "Bakura?" She asked. The darkness of the room was beginning to unnerve her. "What was that…?" She gasped, breathing heavily. "That couldn't have been a dream…I felt everything…" She stretched out on the bed and wrapped the blanket around her now shivering body. "Why is he doing this to me?" Giving up on sleep once again, she kicked the blankets off and headed down to the kitchen. "I need a glass of water…" Rain was beginning to beat against the window as she descended the stairs.

***

Once in the living room, Téa caught a glance of herself in the mirror. Her hair was dishevelled and her face was flush. She rubbed her neck gently. "That was one vivid dream I had I guess." She mused. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed a glass from the cupboard. Filling it up with water, she walked back into the living room and sat on the couch. She noticed the phone as she placed her glass on the table in front of the couch. "It's too late…but…" Hesitantly she reached over and picked up the phone, slowly she dialled a number.

***

Bakura mumbled something incoherently in his sleep. The piecing sound of the phone ringing startled him and he sat up abruptly. "Huh? What's that?" He asked himself. He heard another ring. "Oh! The phone!" He tried to untangle himself from the sheets, but in his sleep he managed to wrap the blanket around his legs. He went forward and crashed to the floor. "Ouch…" He groaned as he crawled out of the blanket and ran down the stairs. "Don't hang up! Don't hang up!" He called out.

***

Téa frowned. "I guess he's not going to answer." She began to hang up when she heard a click and an out of breath voice answer. "H…Hello?" Téa froze. What was she suppose to say? Here she was, calling him at four in the morning and from the sound of him, she had disturbed his sleep. "Hello? Is anyone there?" Came the voice, a bit less huffing now. "Um…" Téa began, but sighed and hung up.

***

Bakura looked at the phone silently. "What was that all about?" He hung the phone up and climbed the stairs back to his room.

***

Téa buried her head in her hands. "Oh great…I just made a complete fool of myself! What was I thinking?" She put the empty glass into the sink and headed back to the couch. Pulling out the book she was reading earlier, she snuggled up with a woolly blanket and began to read. "Hmmm, it's so cold. At least it's not – She jumped as a loud boom came from all around her. She frowned. "A thunder storm…" Lighting flashed and she ducked under the blanket. "I hate lighting!" She whined. Another flash and a loud explosion caused her to scream. The lights went out. It seemed a fuse had been blown. "Why me?" She moaned.

***

The rain was coming down harder then ever. The Muto's house was in perfect silence. Except for a lone figure in a purple robe that was sneaking around side. Nudging the window open, the figure place a small package on the table and ducked out of site as a certain tri-colour haired boy popped his head into the room.

"Who's there?" Yugi asked, holding a baseball bat tightly in his tiny hands.  Yugi walked over to the open window and looked outside. "Nothing…" He closed the window and his hand brushed against a small brown package. "What's this?" He looked at its torn brown wrapping. It had a yellowing string wrapped around it. Yugi tapped it gently with the baseball bat and ducked, just in case it was a bomb or something. Nothing happened. He reached over and pulled the string off. The paper fell to the sides and a silver object was revealed. "A duelling card?" He asked.  He lifted it up and turned on his study lamp. "Yami no Yume?" He read as he looked at the card. It had a picture of a white and pink ghost like woman hovering over the bed of a sleeping child. It had a devil wing and an angel wing. A dream bubble was above the boys' head; it had a back symbol and a grey symbol. "Dream and Nightmare?" He wondered. "Or was it Good and Evil? Reminds me of Bakura's 'Change of Heart' card. Wow! A new card! Wait until I show the gang!" He said excitedly.

Yugi was too happy to notice Yami was staring darkly at the card and frowning. "So…it was found…"
