I.Do.NOT.Own. YGO!

There is something I MUST clear up. This is an alternate universe (AU) meaning things are different. Yami Bakura split from his hikari. And he never did die in battle city. I know in the series Marik is the one to betray Bakura, But im turning the tables here. Its the other way around. Now that I have that cleared up the confusion won't get to anyone, ^_^ So please don't flame for that. And everyone already knows Marik.. Oh and that was 4 months ago!

~~~~~~

Yami stopped a few minutes later. Something was wrong. He turned around to head back to Tea's home. Just as he finally reached the door. The motocycle was gone. Her door was wide open. "TEA!" Yami yelled walking "You here?!"

The pharoh walked around her living room. There was no robbery or break in, due to everything was still intact. His heart raced with worry. 'Not again...' He thought

Yami didn't want to tell Yugi of this. He was to investigate to be sure.

At the time Yami was at Tea's house Marik rode down the streets of Domino once again heading to his boat. Tea was still mind locked to Marik. Her arms were clasped around his waist on the back seat of the motorcycle.

"Comfy, Tea?" He asked slyly taking a turn. The brunnette remained silent. Her eye's were dilated showing signs of no response.

/YUGI!/ Yami shouted telepathically,

\Ow, Yami, my head..whats with the yelling?\

/Something is wrong/

Yugi blinked \What do you mean?\

/Tea is gone/

\AGAIN!?\ Yugi shouted, his face became pale. \h-how?\

/I thought I saw Mariks motorcycle, When entered her house...when she was here..She said that it was nothing. After Tea kicked me out, I came back a few minutes later. She was gone/ Yami relfected

/She could have just gone out/

/I sense a dark presence!/ Yami refleced, leaving Yugi speachless

/Yugi?/ Yami questioned his Aibou's quietness. \Yami..If you did sence dark evil then it could have been Marik using his mind control./ Yugi said. Yami too, said nothing. He fell back on the couch. Growling at his stupidness. /How could I not know?! She was so convincing!/

A small tear fell from Yugi's cheak. Joey was with him at the time. He noticed Yugi holding in his cries. "Yug'?"

"Tea's gone..again" Yugi said instantly. Joey eyes widened "WHAT!?"

"She's gone.." The short boy repeated.

"How?"

"Yami thinks it was Mariks work." Yugi replied curling his fists. "That asshole!!"

~

The Egyptian and the brunette reached the boat. "Here my little pet, is where you are going to stay." Marik said touching Tea's cheaks.

The lavander eyed Egyptian led Tea into his ship, where the large metal doors closed behind them. One of his rare hunters, Hikaru, grabbed his bike and parked it in the boat. The lavender eyed Egyptian had his arm looped around Tea's shoulder. He walked by her side to the throne room. He placed her in the middle underneath a dim light. Her body remained still... Marik sat on his throne smirking.

~

Yami was already out of the house. He ran down the streets, "Tea!!" The pharoh yelled from the top of his lungs. He fell to the floor mad. 'How can I be so stupid!?'

The multicolored hair pharoh lifted his head, glancing at a familiar person. He stood up from the floor looming to the person.Yami stood up; It seemed that he was looking at Bakura. He exasperated a growl knocking Bakura off his feet.

"What in the seven hells was that for?!" Bakura snapped, jumping back to his feet shoving Yami back. "I know your also responsible!" Yami spat clutching his fists.

"For what?" Bakura's raspy voice asked, crossing his arms. "For Tea's dissapearence!"

Bakura rolled his eyes. "Not this crap again...Look here pharoh I didn't do anything."

"I felt Mariks power, and I know in battle city you were working with him!"

"And I backstabbed him. What would make you think I work with him now?"

Yami remained silent; He eyed the tombrobber suspiciously. He noticed that his ring was not around his neck. Curiously Yami asked, "Where's your ring?" Bakura looked at him and said that it was a long story.

Yami lamented, Bakura churned away with a look on his face. Yami stepped forward to Bakura turning him around. "You know something don't you?"

Bakura said nothing.

"TELL ME!" Yami snapped, his voice was cold and loud. Bakura looked away, "I do know something..." His raspy voice said quietly.

"Please tell me!"

Bakura shoved Yami's hands away, "Figure it yourself, Pharoh."

"Look. If you won't tell me anything, Tea could die! I just know she's with Marik. And If I ever find her dead..Then you will know its your fault for not telling us!" Yami exclaimed. "Yugi loves her..And..So do I." Yami acknowledged.

Bakura sighed, "I know is Marik isn't here for Tea.He is after me because ever since Battle City I betrayed him..And well now he's back for revenge."

Yami arched an eyebrow, "Do you have any idea where they are?"

Bakura shrugged, "Should I care?" He lied, hiding the feelings and that little moment they had earlier was nothing. But inside it really was something.

Tea's POV (inside her head)

Where am I? I look around trying to see. I am somewhere in a dark room. Help... Why are these things always happening to me? HELP!!

My head begins to feel dizzy from the yelling. From the outside I can hear someone talk. "Is anyone there!!!" I yell. I fall back on the floor crying.

This small light appears which takes a shape of a window. I look out to see that I am in a weird dark place. But who is that figure in front of me? Oh no...Marik.

Marik smirked, "My dear little Tea. You know I WAS planning to take Joey's sister. But that will take too much work." He stroked her hair once again, "All I need is Bakura dead, I am going to take his item too, for the power of course. Before I did that he betrayed me in our little deal to get Yami's power as pharoh." Marik sighed, "I will get my revenge and..A little slave" He pressed his lips againsts Tea. He removed his face only inches away from her. He called for one of his mind slaves to take the girl into another room.

"Yes sire" One of the rare hunters said, while bowing his head. The rare hunter lifted Tea up over his shoulders carrying her into another room. Marik walked back to his seat. More plans came to his head. He had decided to use more mind slaves to help lure Bakura. Now all he needed to know was how he was going to do it.

He even decided to have alittle fun with this one mind slave. He never had the chance before. He thought that this would be amusing.

/Yami./ Malik finally spoke after a long silence. His darker half gripped his item. /What do you want?/ He asked coldly.

/You know your plan won't work./

/And what makes you say that?/

/In battle city, your plan failed. And guess what? It's going to happen again./

/Shut up you ingorant fool./ Marik snapped.

/You can't shut me up anymore. Once your defeated, I'll be free to take over my body once again./

/SHUT UP!/

~

Yami got an idea. He had gone to the nearest phone booth to call Seto. He would need his help and equipment to help track Tea. Once Kaiba had answered the phone, Yami had told him everything. Reluctant as ever Kaiba told him to meet him near his front gates.

Bakura was standing by Yami while he walk talking on the phone. His arms were crossed as usual as Yami hung up, he looked over at the white haired tombrobber.

"Kaiba wants to meet me at his mansion..Are you coming?" He asked hesitently. Bakura shook his head. "I'd rather not." He said, "I have better things to do then go to him."

Yami growled. "Well he's the only help we have!"

Bakura scoffed, "Do what you like pharoh. I'm not going."

The violet eyed pharoh began to walk off. He didn't want to start another argument with Bakura.

The older Kaiba stepped out of his mansion, aproaching the gate. "So Marik is back, huh?" Yami nodded. He awaited for the steel gates to open. The pharoh stepped forward.

"How is he back?" Kaiba once again asked. Yami shrugged, "All I know is that he came back and he had Tea now. Nothing new..But I know Bakura knows."

"And where is he?"

"He didn't want to come."

"We'll good thing. I didn't want him stealing my stuff anyways."

Yami sweatdropped. This was no time for Jokes.

~~

Bakura was walking down the road. In his head was thinking. And some how...he was worried. 'Where could Marik be?' He thought as he ran into a familiar person. 'Duke?!'

The black haired teen, turned around to face the tombrobber. "Well, what do you know. It's Ryou."

Bakura blinked, "Uh It's Bakura actually."

"Oh..Sorry man, So whats up with you?"

" Nothing. Look I have no time to chat. I have to look for someone" Bakura said while walking past Duke. The green eyed teen turned around and asked, "Who?"

"That is none of your buisness."

"Well, It is now. So tell me"

Bakura churned his head to Duke. "Fine if you must know it's Tea."

"That hot brunette chick with the fine body?" Duke winked which disgusted Bakura. The albino knocked Duke onto a brick wall. The green eyed teen was wide eyed as he hit the wall. He regained his balance snapping back at the tombrobber. "What is your problem?!"

Bakura didn't answer he just continued his walking. Duke fumed as Bakura walked away without answering.

~~

Tea was finally out of Mariks control. There she was in a windowless room. 'Where am I?' She thought, "HELP!" Tea's voice cried, noone replied.

~~

"Is there a way to track Marik?" Yami asked. Seto pondured for a minute. "I think there is a way."

"How?!"

"Remember Battle City? Marik had a duel disk?"

Yami blinked, 'Of course!' He thought. "Yes, are you going to track it down?"

"That is the only way to know where Marik is." Seto said while getting up. He signaled Yami to follow him into the control room. There was this large computer in the front. The lights were diimed. Yami blinked as he saw the large computer Talking to Kaiba.

"Hello, Kaiba." A female voice said. Yami looked around wondering who said that; He then relized that it was the computers.

"Computer track down video. Battle City duel between Marik and Bakura."

"Right away." The computer said while downloading the files. Once it was loaded, a video popped up. It showed Bakura dueling Marik.

Seto viewed Marik's disk more closely. On the side it said the number of the disk was 243450. Kaiba typed in the dueling disks number, while more files popped up. Yami was growing more impatient. He wanted to find Tea. He had to be patient until Kaiba found the disk.

"Found it" Kaiba said with a smirk. There on the screen was a large map of Domino. There were a few blinking lights.

"What are those?" Yami asked while pointing to a light.

"Those are where the Dueling Disks are located. And If we are lucky, Marik would still have his." The computer replied.

"Oh.." Yami tilted his head. There was about 20 blinking lights, where would they start?

Kaiba printed out the addresses and handed the sheets to Yami. "Here are the directions, Unforunatly no names are said. It would have made out search more easier,"

Yami nodded. "I'll call the others. They can help us find them."

Just as Yami was going to exit the doors. Kaiba said. "I Hope you find Marik." Yami smirked. "Don't worry. I will."

~~

Bakura paused in front of Tea's house. Her door was still wide open. Maybe her parents weren't home yet. He decided to walk inside.

Whole house remained quiet. He peeked into the kitchen and found the broom closet open. He used his right hand to close the wooden door. Standing inside Tea's house made him remember the early moment they had. Bakura decided to walk up the stairs. Once again the halls were quiet. Noone was upstairs. He glanced into a room that had light blue walls. The bed was unmade and the curtains were open. On her desk was a computer and some books. He walked over to the furniture and found her diary. He opened the book relizing that it was unlocked. There were entries going back to 4 months ago.

He turned to the last page which caught his eyes. There was his name all over the page. scibbled in handwriting. He turned over the page to see nothing else. This was dated the day his house caught on fire and he helped her out.. 'So she had a crush on me the day I saved her?' He thought. His eyes churned to a photo that was on the wall. It was a picture of Tea in a black dress, her arms were looped around Yami's arm. Anger boiled in his blood as he punched the picture causing it to cause a star like crack in the middle. He had to find her. Before something happened. Bakura dropped the book and rushed out of the house....
