Chapter 2- Familiar Faces

Yugi had materialized back in the clearing of the woods, or as he called it his Sanctuary. His mind full of bewildered thoughts on what his eyes had just witnessed. She had looked just like the woman he had loved and lost all those years ago. She looked identical to her in everyway. He replayed the incident in his head and her name crept out of his mouth.

"Téa." That's the name she had given him. "Téa." He repeated, savoring the sound of her name as he spoke it. Seeing her had caused Anzu's (A/N: I'm using Téa's Japanese name for her past identity.) words to float into his mind.

I will meet you again!

Anzu's words had come to fruition, but this woman, Téa, was not her. This woman didn't know him or anything about him for that matter. She was the present form of the woman he had loved and his real love was dead and buried, forgotten by everyone but him because he couldn't bear to let her go.

He released a deep sigh as he gazed out at the darkened waves of the ocean. Even though it wasn't Anzu, he still felt drawn to her. Yet, he could never see her again. Why couldn't he see her? He couldn't see her because he knew sooner or later his past was going to catch up to him and that would put her in danger. Intense dangers that he couldn't protect her from because of his weaken state. He knew that it would be difficult to stay away from her, but he would try, for her own safety. He didn't need to bring her into the world of darkness and shadows. With these thoughts he turned around and headed home.

Meanwhile…

Téa had made it home. After she had left the park, the brisk walk to her apartment had passed in a blur. Now she was safe and cozy in her apartment, but the event she had just lived through was still vivid in her head and it made her shudder violently. She could still feel the pressure of the thug's weight on her and the looks he had given her. She decided she needed a hot bath to relax her and help her to clear her mind.

She went to her bathroom and fixed her bath water. She put in some rose smelling salts and she removed her clothes. She sat in the warm, soothing water and leaned her head back. She closed her eyes and to help keep those hideous memories, she decided to focus on the mysterious stranger that had rescued her.

He had a tall and slender frame. He had a unique hair style, spiked up, violet edges, mainly black and topped off with golden bangs that framed his face, obscuring his eyes slightly. His eyes, clearly that was his most attractive feature. His eyes were a unique color, amethyst. His eyes had a haunted, sad, look to them as if he had suffered greatly. She hoped she would see him again. She wanted to thank him again for saving her life. Who knows what atrocities she would have faced in the hands of those thugs. She got out of the bath, put on her robe and walked to her bedroom. She changed into her sleeping clothes. She needed to rest. She would call in sick to work in the morning. After a few minutes of tossing and turning she fell asleep.

A few days later…

He stood motionless on top of the building, hidden in the shadows on the roof. Across from him stood the restaurant where he had seen her go into earlier. Three days had passed since he had helped her and now she had finally come back to work. He reprimanded himself because he had promised himself he would stay away, but yet here he was watching her. She had the late shift again and it was up to her to close the restaurant. She closed up and glanced around the street cautiously. She put one of her hands in her purse and proceeded to walk down the street.

He watched her intently and followed her by leaping from rooftop to rooftop. He felt fine despite the fact that he hadn't feed in a few days, but using his powers would drain him and cause the bloodlust to rise. He saw her near the park and instantly his eyes landed on the three thugs hidden behind some trees. They were back and waiting for her. Apparently they wanted to finish what they had tried to accomplish days before. Seemingly Téa had noticed them as well because she started to run. She ran as quickly as she could and turned into a dark alley to avoid them, but the alley was a dead end. Once again she was trapped with nowhere to run.

"Hello beautiful, did you miss me?" The lead thug asked her, giving her a toothy grin. "Looks like your boyfriend isn't here to protect you." He added glancing around the alleyway. Téa stood motionless, her hand in her purse searching for something.

"You two keep guard." He ordered the other two thugs, while his eyes remained on Téa.

Come on, Téa told herself mentally. She had found what she was looking for. Tightly grasped in her hand was a bottle of pepper spray. She wanted him to advance so she could spray him off guard.

"Now this time I'm going to make sure you cooperate, darling." The thug told her. Before she could say a word, he had pulled out a gun from his coat. "Now darling, put your hands where I can see them." He instructed her. "Oh and any other unnecessary moves from you and I'll blow you away." He added in warning.

Damn, Téa cursed mentally. She removed her hand from her purse. "What are you-" She was cut off as he slammed her hard against the wall. She straightened herself out and she heard him load the chamber on the gun and he pointed it straight at her.

"I told you not a word!" He reminded her.

Téa was scared but something inside her snapped and she wanted to be defiant. She didn't want to die, but she couldn't stop herself. She opened her mouth to speak again. "Why-" She began but the words died in her mouth as he lifted the gun right to her face.

"I warned you! You stupid bitch!" he yelled and he pulled the trigger.
