~Fated Triangle of Death~

Kaiba, Joey, Isis, Mai and Serenity entered the clearing after Yami only to be stopped dead in their tracks. There, in the middle, Yami was carefully holding Tea up so that she was in a somewhat seating position. Yami's eyes were filled with sorrow as he looked at three slashes that made up a triangular shape on Tea's forehead. They weren't deep enough to be fatal but it still created a very messy image. Tea's blood stopped flowing and the gang could clearly see the half circle made of blood on her neck. Actually, half her neck was covered in blood and it looked as if she was dead.

"he killed her" Joey said in a low tone. "that bastard killed her"

"it was not of his making" exaggerated Yami snapped back while pealing the blood that cowered Tea's neck.

"but she is dead!" Joey screamed in frustration, earning a hit on the head which came from Kaiba.

"she breathes – she lives" Kaiba said through tightly clenched teeth. He had a memory somewhere deep down in his mind from his past life and he was feeling as if he had seen something relatively close to this somewhere before, in his previous life.

"huh?" asked a bewildered Joey while the three girls released a breath that they were holding since they came upon this scene.

"she will live" Yami said in a low, forbidden and mysterious voice, his aura flaring higher than ever as he rose to his feet, carrying Tea in his arms in bridal style. " so shall her ancestor" he continued in the same tone. Everyone looked into his eyes and saw great grief filling those purple orbs. He looked magnificent, worn by age of living and knowledge while he just stood there, starring at his five companions, proving to them once again that he truly was an ancient pharaoh who controlled powerful monsters who brought destruction in their path.

"what do you mean" Serenity asked in a squeaky voice and unintentionally moved closer to Kaiba who seem to ignore her but stare directly into Yami's eyes, his own eyes filling with sorrow and worry. He knew what happened, and he knew what was about to happen. It would be all over the news.

"it will happen" Yami said, ignoring Serenity's question and turning around to walk into the direction of the camp. " tonight' he added as if it was an after thought,

"what should we do?" Kaiba didn't want the same thing to happen as it did in the past, it will rise to much suspicion and destruction.

" wait until it passes" Yami said as he began walking with Tea who was stirring slowly in his arms, but dropped into unconsciousness almost in instant she came around

" Bu….." Kaiba was about to protest but then decided against it. He just hoped that Bakura would use his hidden form. With those thoughts,  he followed Yami, leaving four bewildered and scared teenagers behind. 'They can't know yet…… ' he thought desperately.

"is Kaiba nuts?" Joey asked no one in particular, watching the retreating for of Kaiba and Yami with shock in his eyes. "Tea is unconscious, probably  tortured by that maniac and he talks as if he knows what's going on while Yami behaves like he doesn't CARE!???" he practically screamed.

"Joey, shut up!" Mai screamed.

"stop insulting Seto!" Serenity snapped at her brother.

"Oh, so you're going to defend your lover now? Turning back on your brother?" Mai asked with malice.

"he is a lunatic" Joey practically screamed.

"no, your are the one who is a lunatic! You keep me on a chain as if I am a dog! I am not, you are!" Serenity snapped back.

"don't you DARE!" Mai screamed in rage. Joey on the other hand began to shake as he watched his sister and his soon-to-be girlfriends stated to throw punches at each other. Suddenly, something practically snapped in his mind and his scream of rage brought the other two females to their normal state.

"this place is freaking CURSED!" he yelled and with that, the three of them ran out of the clearing, not noticing that Isis was standing in the middle, having a small golden ball formed in her hands. She was concentrating very hard but then the ball of golden energy burst and she looked saddened.

'I cannot take it of, just like before' she said quietly to Yami through their mind link. She tried to lift it, but could not.

'so it is cursed forever, just like before' Yami whispered under his breath, sadness filling his eyes. He didn't let it repeat itself again before, he managed to prevent it but now, now it was the fated day, the fated hour and the fated Friday the 13th. He knew that he had to be wary but he got distracted, sidetracked from it. Now, the small city where Tea was born in and where her grandma still lived was going to pay for it with many lives, and there were about five hundred of them. He let it happen again.        

This time, however, would be the last ….

"What is this supposed to mean?" Mai demanded.

"we were fighting each other! Why?" Serenity asked quietly, looking directly at Kaiba who send her a pitiful look.

"it is because….. " Yami began as everyone hang on to his every word, as he was tending to Tea's wounds. " the place where sun enters the pyramid today make once dead awake and lust for blood return.
" at that, Yami carefully washed Tea's wounds with water, cleaning them before disinfecting them.

"pyramid? Whaaaaaaaaa?" Joey asked in confusion. He didn't care about that crap, all he knew that if that bastard Bakura would show up again, he would skin him alive for hurting Tea the way he did!

"the dead …. Will awake and seek revenge this day…. Actually, it was basically found." Yami said.

"what do you mean, 'found'?" Mai asked, raising an eyebrow as Isis's eyes darkened. She, Isis,  knew what was Yami was talking about and she was hoping beyond all hopes that it was just one big bad nightmare and that it would soon pass. Pass it will, with a great sacrifice.  In books recording Egypt history, archeologists discovered the 'left overs' and assumed that it was some massive act against the pharaoh, but in truth, it was all to avenge one person who died receiving three bows of the sword to the forehead, dropping dead while trying to defend a child who saw everything and lost all sanity that was ever possessed.

"it's about her, isn't it?" Kaiba voiced Isis's thoughts. He remembered now …. It was terrifying! Why did he always have to remember something like that from his past life? Couldn't it be a happy memory instead?

"yes" Yami said as he slowly and carefully unrolled a roll of gauze and gently wrapping it around Tea's neck while leaving this 'triangle' on her forehead untouched. He didn't touch it at all for he knew that if he or somebody else did, Tea would die. As simple as it may be, others would demand an explanation and he didn't feel like relying it upon them at all. He noticed as Kaiba's and Isis's eyes lowered to the ground to stare at nothing in particular. 'So they knew' Yami thought. Suddenly, Yami noticed an arm inching towards Tea's forehead and he almost instantly slapped it away, instinctively.

"what is WRONG with you people!" Joey yelled, massaging his aching arm. Yami's was waaaay stronger then he really looked and only now did Joey realize that..

"don't touch her, you will harm her" Yami snapped, wanting to escape the explanation that they would surely demand from him and he didn't want to give it, who would?

"look, all I wanted to do was see how she is doing! What is wrong with me checking her body temperature damnmit!"

"Joey," Yami began in a warning tone " if you will touch the mark, you will automatically kill her.

"WHAT???" Mai, Joey &Serenity exclaimed at the same time.

"she will die an instant death" Yami said simply, ignoring their shocked faces or the fact that their jaws were touching the ground.

"that's just ridicules!" Mai huffed and crossed her arms.

"can't you do something about it?" Serenity asked in a shaky voice.

"nothing but wait until the end" Yami said with a shrug, carefully laying Tea down in one of the tents.

"the end of what?" Mai asked, her eyes turning into tiny splits. Something wasn't right!

"of a sacrifice." Yami simply said, turning his now emotionless eyes towards her. The look in his eyes had taken her aback but she was quick to regain her composure and continued.

"sacrifice?"

"precisely" Yami said emotionlessly.

"look, I know that you are never like this for a reason pal. There is something you are not telling us but you better and now!" Joey said, barely able to contain his anger. His fist was clenched so tightly that there were small trickles of blood coming from his tightly closed palm.

"very well, then we shall go outside first, and hear it. But I must warn you, after this, some may not sleep well at all"

(Lilo: different format! I decided that for this kind of chapter I needed a lot more explanations and I kinda like to write the way I just did…. Anyways, after the next chapter, it will go back to being somewhat funny! Trust me, this is the 'middle-end' of the story. I supposes five more chapters and that will be it but we will see.. I am not going to try and predict the future. Anyways, I hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter and that you won't kill me for my sudden change of my 'writing technique' ^_~

Marikue: R&R plz)
