Tea: (--__--)

Ryou: (Sleeping on the couch.)

Seto: (Staring at his watch.)

Bakura: (Grumbling to himself.)

Bakura: Dammit I don't want to stick around here anymore can we go now!!!?

Seto: Gardener your being ridiculous!

Tea: You know what, I'm not moving until I see my episode of 7th heaven! It's the season's last episode and I'm not letting you or you or blood man ruin it for me!

Seto: I don't have time for this.

Bakura: Woman, I'll carry you and my aibou on my back if I have to!

Tea: (Folding her arms.) I'm not moving!

Seto: (Rolling his eyes.) Pick her up.

Ryou: (Snoring.)

Tea: (Sweat drop.)

Bakura: Exactly when does your father get home anyways?

Tea: I don't know, not for another couple hours I think.

Seto: (Sigh.) It is raining outside. Hmmmm maybe only for 30 minutes.

Tea: That's all I need really!

Bakura: Uh-huh….are you going soft on me Kaiba?

Seto: (-_-) Watch your mouth scum. Hmmm…perhaps you are right though, we need to get back to my computer I have vital information to show you.

***Tea POV***

Okay which part of I'M NOT MISSING MY SHOW did they not get!!!? I've been grumpy ever since the start of my you know what and this is the only thing right now that's going to cheer me up!

Tea: Get away from me I'm not moving!

Bakura: (Stepping back.) Okay um…you know what money bags I'm not touching her. She's already kicked and bit me once.

Seto: Don't even think about it. I'm not doing it.

Tea: (Flipping the TV on.) Well then I guess we're watching my show.

Ryou: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Seto: (Folding his arms.)

Bakura: (Sitting down next to Tea miserably.)

Tea: Um do you want to sit down Kaiba?

Seto: I'll stand. (He said coldly.)

Tea: (Shrug.) Suit yourself.

I always get my way! (^___^) Of course I don't call this very comfortable. I mean Ryou's taking half the couch up and he's snoring like mad! And then Bakura's sitting there…I mean he's really just sitting there staring at the TV, but at the same time he really doesn't look like he's WATCHING the TV. And frankly I'm scared to death of him right now. I mean I can't even relax on my own sofa! I'm afraid to breath or scoot further away from him or anything. Ugh and I sat myself right in the middle, great….(-_-)

15 minutes later.

***Bakura POV***

Tea: OMG no, no he can't run away! Please somebody save him! (Sniffing.)

Bakura: (O_o) …….what the hell?.......

Tea: (Crying.) NOOO!!

Bakura: (Scooting away from her.) 'Why is she crying???'

I don't understand these programs this girl watches. So this teenage brat ran away, so what? If I was interested in someone else's life from my own I would've killed him. Hmm I wonder what Kaiba thinks of all this?

Seto: ………………

((O))____((O)) Since when…did he learn to sleep standing up?.......

Seto: ……………..

Damn what a deep sleep. Or perhaps he doesn't get enough sleep, ahem.

Tea: No! It can't be over! NO, No, NO!!!!

She…just threw the remote at the TV…This strange girl needs help desperately. I've never seen a female mortal with such strange mood swings before. How odd.

***Normal POV***

Tea: I hate this show! UGH!

Bakura: (Confused.) But isn't this why we stayed? So you could watch your program?

Tea: Huh? Oh no, you don't understand. (She quickly responded, shooing his question aside.)

Bakura: Well then explain.

Tea: What? (Staring at him.)

Bakura: Explain, I don't understand.

***Tea POV***

Is-is he serious? Well I mean I guess I could. Looks like Kaiba fell asleep too. (Sweat drop.) But um sure…I mean there's nothing else to do right now and it's starting to rain again outside. No way am I walking out in that.

Tea: Y-you're serious?

Bakura: (Silent.)

***Normal POV***

Tea: Well um you see this is a show that I um really like. Sigh, let me see how do I explain this? Oh well when you get really upset about something you really like, maybe like a friend, you say things that you may or may not mean. Like the boy in the show.

Bakura: Go on.

Tea: He ran away and that was the end of the program. I wasn't happy so I said things that I probably didn't mean….if they ever decide to make another season… (-_-)

Bakura: I still don't understand why did you mention friends? (He asked somewhat disgusted by the word.)

Tea: Well you know when you get upset at a friend you sometimes say things you don't really mean.

Bakura: I wouldn't know I have none. (He said simply.)

Tea: (Wincing.) Well what about aibo-I mean Ryou?

Bakura: So he's a friend to me?

Tea: (-_-) I guess.

Bakura: Well what if I actually mean the things I say?

Tea: That depends, how often do you say whatever you say-

Bakura: A lot.

Tea: Oh…I see. Well um…Bakura can I ask you a question now?

Bakura: If it's about if I actually mean everything I've ever said to you and your friends or about you and your friends then yes. I do plan to take possession of the world, I do plan to get my revenge against all of you and I will most likely kill all of you someday.

Tea: (((@)________(@))) Um n-no.

Bakura: Okay then what is it? (He asked coldly.)

Tea: I know this is going to sound weird but w-why do you always stare up at the sky?

Bakura tore his eyes away from the black screen staring directly through and past Tea as if she were a 4 dimensional object. Tea shivered as she felt his stare bore right through her. She brought her eyes to the floor as a way to avoid his cold gaze.

Bakura: That's a stupid question girl.

Tea: Well then never mind.

Bakura: But nevertheless it's strange that you would notice such a thing and since you answered my question I shall answer yours. (He said in a cold raspy voice.)

Tea's eyes quickly snapped wide open as if brought out of a year long daze. She stared intently on Bakura whose eyes seemed to be on her, but in a way looked past her soul and to the other side if it were possible.

Tea: Go on.

Bakura: I have lived for countless years as you may know. I have been a Tomb Robber, a thief and a killer on all degrees. I was also sealed away into an everlasting life of torment none of you not even Kaiba could comprehend. It was a life of darkness and nothing more. But before I became a spirit I was in fact human and I was like any other of the thousands of crooks, thieves, murderers and plunderers out there. I had my ambitions like anyone else and I had a dream. It was to rule this scummy planet and become ruler of the millennium items I still hold dear to me.

Tea: Yeah we know that already.

Bakura: Hey who's telling the story here?!!!

Tea: (-_-) You…

Bakura: Thank you! Now as I was saying I was human. During that period of time, the after life was an important thing to all of us, even the lowest of killers out there, even if it meant their souls to the underworld the life above was always held dear. I would dream over and over what it would be like to die and live again in the after life where you would truly be free of any corruption. In a matter of speaking I committed certain crimes just to end my own life to quicken my chances of receiving the sacred gift from above. In this time it was a disgrace to commit suicides without a purpose so I competed for the most zaniest of crimes out there to increase my chances.

Tea: (-_-) OOhh I see that went well.

Bakura: Okay if your going to keep on making comments then I'm going to-

Tea: N-no I was just joking continue please! (She said as sweetly as possible.)

Bakura: Ahem as I was saying before I was interrupted, I committed awful crimes to give myself a title worthy enough of ending my own life.

Tea's eyes swiftly saddened after every word spoken. This wasn't as easy and light as Bakura tried to make it sound. 5000 years perfected this story into something that seemingly seemed like nothing.

Bakura: But it wasn't until I visited a priest one night at the age of 16 that I realized my crimes weren't for the better but for the worst.

A loud crack of thunder rocked the small house, a stretch of lightening shadowing only half of Bakura's face. Tea shivered slightly, turning her attention to Kaiba and Ryou's sleeping forms.

Tea: W-hat exactly did he say?

Bakura: (Chuckling.) He knew me well in those regions. I explained to him the importance of my acts and he said I was not doing it to quicken my chances to the new life above but signing my own will to hell…..

Tea: (Furrowing her eyebrows nervously.)

Bakura: He told me I was so greedy that I wanted to skip the importance in living a fruitful life and move right over to the divine afterlife given to those who had earned it. What I did earn was an afterlife of suffering and pain and I would not live a life that others were to receive. Well it so happens that he was right.

Tea stared at the smiling Yami's face as he gazed out the window towards the turning sky. Day light saving's time ended early this season.

Bakura: I was angry. I was angry at the world for lying to me and I was angry at the world for pronouncing such radical rules upon life. I did not want to die and suffer torment for eternity! I wanted to live! So all of a sudden my current life was the only thing that mattered. I quickly dropped the idea of an afterlife seeing as my hopes were gone. My only chances of changing these rules or perhaps undoing my life that had once been done was to collect what the Pharaoh held against his own people for so long. The millennium items had to be mine! Their existence was the only thing that could ever change my own existence. I had to either fix my problems or live as long as I could with the powers bestowed within these trinkets so that one day I could prove the awful priest wrong!

Tea: S-so uh….I still don't get it.

Bakura: Ah crap girl just shut up and listen. I had already collected one millennium item and I had led my army of fugitives to a close win. I was very close to as a matter of fact. You know that priest I told you about earlier?

Tea: (Nodding her head viciously.)

Bakura: I had a run through with him again. It turns out he was one of the Pharaoh's trusted priests. He remembered me a few years back as that boy. He kind of shook his head at me and asked me what the hell I was doing. Sorry to burst his bubble but I really had to thank him for all of this. Sadly to say, I was kind of on a deadline here and I had little to no time for chit chat. Of course he wouldn't move and he was determined to stop me. So I had to make quick work of him. With a few ingenious moves of my own, I had him sliced to pieces.

Tea: (Covering her mouth.) BAKURA!

Ryou: (Snore.)

Seto: (Sleeping….)

Bakura: (O_O) Ugh relax he's somewhat alive like the Pharaoh and I. (Grinning.) You may know him as the purple magician within Yami's deck. The most trusted card in his hands.

Tea: The….dark magician.

Bakura: Hehehehe, yes that would be the one. Well it turns out I was seriously injured and on the verge of death. I had pretty much lost against the Pharaoh by this point and I'm really not going to get into it so yeah. Anyways I bet you and all your friends think it was Yami as you call him, who sealed me away within my own millennium ring don't you?

Tea: Well yeah I mean…wait what are you saying here? (Looking puzzled.)

Bakura: I sealed my own soul away Tea. (He smirked sadistically.)

Tea: YOU what!!!? WHY?!

Bakura: I told you I didn't want to die. If I died I'd burn deep within the underworld. I was scared and I did not want to live that eternal life. So I reached drastic measures and chose the life of neither the living nor the dead.

Tea: Y-y-your insane!

Bakura: I know. (Grinning.) But I chose my destiny carefully. I do not regret my choice of action. But as I remained there within my millennium ring, I was deprived of the sky I stared up for so long. It was what I lived by. So I had to learn to use my imagination. I had to stare past the ceiling, past the shadow realm and past the clouds to see what I truly missed and what I still yearn for today. That is why I stare up at the sky so much. B/c I know one day I won't be able to imagine it with my mind. I'm just staring up on what I was deprived from for so long. I will never come to know what that feeling feels like, to have no stress or worries after you die. You and the others will be free and all of you know this too. But me…I will have nothing close to it. Nothing at all. (He spat out sitting back in his seat.)

Tea: (Gulp.) You know if you were that worried why didn't you just start doing good things after you had that run through with the priest?

Bakura: (Staring oddly at Tea.) Woman it was too late. You could not begin to comprehend some of the things I did in those days. There is a reason the Pharaoh hates me so Tea.

Tea: (Staring sternly at Bakura.) Yeah but making things worst is like letting a lie go on and on! That doesn't make the situation any better and it'll start building on itself eventually! Besides I think you weren't scared you were petrified!

Bakura: What?

Tea: You heard me. I think you were trying to delay the inevitable. You collected those millennium items to hide yourself or live as long as possible in hopes of never reaching that day. When you sealed yourself away you were basically running and hiding. You got desperate is what it is!

Bakura: Don't push it woman.

Tea: I'm not! I'm telling you the facts. And it's been 5000 years! So why didn't or don't you start from scratch and begin your new life for the better?

Bakura was silent as he thought for literally minutes on what to say. Tea heaved in slowly partially proud of her speech and at the same time wishing she didn't say anything.

Bakura: B/c that's the way my mind thinks Tea. (He said simply.)

Tea: (Taken back.)

Bakura: And that is why when I am eventually free from Shadi's grasp I will fulfill my destiny and for those words you've just now spoken, I will have to end your life.

Tea: (Gulp.) You know instead of threats you could just say I don't want to talk about it anymore. You've already answered my question.

Bakura looked at her with one of the most foreign and bewildered looks to ever cross his face. A small bead of sweat formed along his neck as he stood up still in disbelief on this girl's easy going attitude.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

Tea: AWWW!

Bakura: (Hairs on end.)

Tea: W-who's there?

Bakura: I don't know open the door.

Tea: You open the door!

Bakura: No you open the door!

Tea: No you!

Bakura: NO YOU!

Tea: YOU!

Bakura: YOU!

Tea: YOU!

Bakura: (Smirking.) Why Tea are you flirting with me?

Tea: (SWEAT DROP.) W…H…A…T????????

Bakura: (Sort of smiling.)

Tea: Ugh please, don't make me sick! (Slightly blushing.)

Seto: (Groggily walking past them both.)

Tea & Bakura: (*_*) 'The hell???'

Tea: Uh Kaiba are you awake?

Seto: Very much so thanks to your screaming.

Bakura: (--_--) So your just going to open the door just like that?

Seto: (Loading his gun.) What would you have me do?

Bakura & Tea: (o___0) Um….n-nothing…(Anime fall.)

Tea: K-Kaiba that could be my dad out there!!

Seto: I know.

Tea: ("_") (Feeling faint.)

Seto quickly reached for the handle and turned it, flipping the door wide open. Tea and Bakura stared somewhat at ease and at the same time taken back by the sudden appearance of everyone at their door.

Malik: Hello…

Bakura: (Rolling his eyes.) OOOHHH that was original.

Malik: Can we come in we're getting drenched.

Tea: Uh sure come on in.

Seto: (Hiding the gun behind his back carefree.) Ahem…

Tea & Bakura: (X))_((X)

Joey slumped through the doorway after a depressed looking Duke and Tristan followed by a rather silent Yami.

Tea: Jeez what's the special occasion? Someone die?

Malik: Psst..

Tea: Yeah? (Whispering.)

Malik: That probably wasn't the greatest thing to say right now.

Tea: Oh yeah….oh man there I go opening my big mouth again. Wait Malik what happened??

Malik: You'll know soon enough. (He whispered back.)

Joey: Tea your dad's….not here is he? (Swallowing hard.)

SILENCE loomed across the room no one….NO ONE at all dared to breath.

Tristan: (Tensing up.)

Duke: (Tripping over the carpet.)

Yami: (Walking back out the door.)

Tea: No, no, no it's alright! Yami he's not here! (Smiling.)

Seto: What happened? (He asked simply.)

Joey: My sis was taken.

Yami: As well as Yugi. (He whispered hoarsely.)

Tea shrank to the ground in utter disbelief. Her heart raced as she stared at the many upset and hurt faces around them. Then it occurred to her. She was the only girl left. 'Darnet! Why me?!'

Tea: This can't be….Both of them?

Duke: (Nodding his head.)

Yami: Tea wait, I think their very much alive. This thing wants to prove something I've learned that much. It still needs them alive. They are fine…for now.

Malik: (Raising an eyebrow.)

Seto: (Frowning.) How do you know this?

Yami: I've talked to him.

Seto: Humph sure you have.

Yami: (Shrugging.) Believe what you like but the truth stands.

Ryou: (Snoring madly.)

Everyone: (Anime fall.) ((O)___((O)

Bakura: That doesn't explain why you're here.

Tea: Bakura!

Seto Kaiba raised an eyebrow curiously. The way she said his name was as if she had known him for years. She said his name as if she was saying Joey's. It was strange, and Bakura hadn't even begun to notice.

Tristan: We wanna talk to Kaiba.

Seto: I'm right here whenever you're ready. (He said rather icily.)

Tristan: (Sweat drop.) Uh Yami maybe it'd be better if you explained.

Yami: Kaiba we think it would be best if we all stayed together…

Seto: Do what you like I'm not your mother.

Yami: At your place.

Seto: WHAT?......................(Everyone silently waiting.).............................. No.

Everyone: (U_U)

Yami: But-

Seto: No.

Yami: Hear me out-

Seto: No.

Yami: Now Kaiba let's think rat-

Seto: No.

Yami: You're not letting me finish-

Seto: No.

Yami: Kaiba!

Seto: No. How many more times must I say it? I don't know what's going through your heads but my answer is no.

Duke: Kaiba your mansion has the best security and technology around. Your place is the safest right now. Maybe we can even trap this loony. He is after us if you haven't figured that much out already. Kaiba at least think about it.

Kaiba: I already have and I've already given you my answer.

Joey: What was it?

Everyone: U_U

Seto: Wheeler…sigh…never mind I'm not going to bother.

Yami: Kaiba this isn't the time to be thinking about your project! This is serious! You're acting childish again!

Tea: Kaiba I don't want to lose anyone else so stop it and just suck up your pride!

Everyone: YEAH!

Seto: This is all so heart warming but I don't care, I really don't. See I don't believe their dead but nevertheless THAT isn't really my problem.

Joey had, had enough. He was tired of listening to all of this. His girlfriend was gone, his sister was gone and his best friend was gone as well as others. He wasn't going to let anyone else be taken by any means!

Joey: (Smirking.) Well Kaiba ya know your brother could be next.

Seto: (Snapping.)

Yami: Joey what are you trying to pull here? (He whispered backing up.)

Tea: (Wincing.) Uh-oh.

Malik: (Eyeing everyone back and forth.)

Bakura: (Snickering.)

Yami: Bakura!

Bakura: Oh sorry I couldn't help it! I feel like I'm on clue! Hehehehe…

Seto: Very well. You may all come since the dog brings up a very important point here.

Everyone: (Face fault.) HUH?

Joey: (Smiling widely.) Told ya!

Tea: So…now what?

Seto: Now you come with me to…my place. (Wincing.) I have some information that you may find above what you can comprehend.

Malik: I knew he was hiding something.

Yami: Hey didn't you want to pick someone up Malik?

Malik: Oh yeah um can we stop by my house real quick? I'd like to pick up Y/M and Rishid if you don't mind.

Seto: Your….taking that thing into my home? (Taking out his gun.)

Malik: (Waving his hands frantically.) No, no, no I'll put him back in the rod!

Seto: (Placing the gun away.) Ahem fine but if he comes out I'm going to shoot him, hands down.

Malik: (-_-)

Bakura: Jeez Malik your more tense then the midget. What's happened to you?

Malik: That my friend is none of your concern. (-_-)

Bakura: (Crossing his eyes.) Whatever.

Tristan: Hey Malik how do you know he's at your house?

Malik: I don't know, it's just the only place he actually knows his way around.

Duke: But I thought you said he hasn't been taken out since-

Malik: (Fidgeting.)

Yami: He's been out before????!!!!

Malik: (Shrugs.)

Tea: Then it has to be him!

Yami: It does make since.

Seto: He's the only one that seems to be the suspect at the moment.

Malik: He gave us his word.

Seto: Personally I don't believe his word.

Bakura: You know I don't care if it's him or not I say we just kill him.

As the commotion continued Tea secretly worried about the time. Her parents were going to get home anytime now but she really wasn't sure how to tell them.

"Tea we're home! Are you here honey?" A voice yelled out from behind the opening door.

(SILENCE……)

Well that could work! Oh well…guess its too late now. Tea was going to have a field day trying to get her way out of this one.

Seto: (Heart beat racing.) Please Tea tell me that isn't your father…

Yami: (O_O)

Joey: N-no dat's her MOM too!

Tea: (-_-) Hey their no worst then your parents.

Duke: Tea is there a back way out of your house? (Sweating.)

Tristan: (Freaking out.) H-h-he d-d-doesn't still have that jack hammer d-does he??? (Gulp.)

Tea: (O_O) I don't think…so.

Tristan: You don't think so???? What the hell kind of an answer is THAT!!!?

Tea: A reasonable one? (Smiling weakly.)

Malik: Hey why are you getting so touchy? It is just her parents. I mean I'm sure you remember what my own father did to me and so forth.

Seto: (Shaking his head.) I thought that too but her father isn't what you think. He seems to be a bit overly protective. For reasons I don't know why though.

Tea: (Glaring at Seto Kaiba coldly.)

Bakura: He seems to be??? He's nuts!!!!

Yami: He's short. (-_-)

Tea: YAMI!

Yami: What? I was just surprised how a little guy can be so head strong and um violent.

Seto: Not everybody's like little Yugi, Yami…And thank goodness for that.

Yami: (Mumbling.)

 Malik: I for one am not scared. You're overreacting and personally we have larger problems than to concern ourselves with Tea's parents.

Dad: WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE TEA!!!!!!!??????

Malik: (BIG Sweat Drop.) O_O…….Dear RA.

Everyone: (Backing up behind Tea.)

Mom: Tea what have I told you about having so many people in the house? You know your father doesn't like that.

Tea: (Gulp.) Uh sorry mom. Actually I have to sort of ask you something.

Mom: Yes dear?

Dad: Honey please! I want to know why all these BOYS are in MY house with MY daughter, who seems to be the ONLY girl here!!! Now who would like to explain!!??????

Duke: Tristan its your turn this time. (He whispered carefully.)

Tristan: WHAT? I did it last time!

Yami: I think we should have Bakura or Kaiba do it since they-

Bakura: No, we've already had our experience with him this week. That's enough for me.

Seto: I'd rather not be sued for putting a bullet through the dwarf's head out of self defense so it would be best for him and me to pick someone else.

Bakura: (Swallowing dryly.) Make the Pharaoh do it since he's so tough!

Yami: (Shaking.) H-he doesn't think I'm actually Yugi. He thinks I'm Yugi's evil twin brother so I'd rather not.

Bakura: So? That doesn't matter.

Yami: S-so? You have no idea what its like to have a MAN TALK WITH THIS GUY THAT'S WHAT MATTERS!

Dad: (Clenching his fists.) I'm right here boys.

Yami & Bakura: ((X)____((X) (Anime Fall!)

Duke: Come on Joey he likes you. (He whispered.)

Joey: (Thinking back.)

Flashback………

Joey: B-but Mr. Gardener!

Dad: You touch my wife's cookies again and I'll pull every one of those blonde hairs out of your head got that?!

Joey: (-_-) But how when your so low to da ground?

Yugi & Tea: (Shaking their heads from side to side sadly.)

Tristan: 'YOU IDIOT!'

WHAM!!!!

Joey: MR. GARDENER DAT….WASN'T…MY HAIR!!!!

Dad: Well you were right then my boy, I couldn't reach. (Smirking.)

Joey: (Falling over.)

Tristan: (Wincing.) Oh I just lost my appetite.

*End of Flashback*

Joey: Uh…I-I'm gonna be sick….

Malik: (Rolling his eyes.)

Dad: I'm waiting!!!!

Mom: Dear please it is raining outside. I'm sure they just escaped the rain that's all.

Dad: Honey you know how I feel about these types of BOYS in our home with our daughter.

Malik: (O_O) 'What does he mean by that?'

The guys turned around and stared at the brunette with rather bizarre and deranged looks upon their faces. (*_*)

Tea: (Backing up nervously.)

Ryou: (Snoring.)

Bakura: 'Typical…He always gets out of a situation that way…the sleeping wimp…HE PLANNED THAT!'

Seto: Alright Malik. If you're so confident you go up there and talk some sense into him.

Malik: (Shrugs.) Very well.

Tea: N-n-no, no, no! Malik um could you PLEASE not do that?

Malik: I'm not going to hurt him Tea, I'm just going to calm him down.

Malik stepped up casually clearing his way through everyone around him. He stared DOWN at the small man and back up at the older woman before him. She smiled gently at him reminding Malik of his own mother who died so long ago. He really couldn't remember what she looked like but this woman's smile seemed reassuring enough. Yet her face was not at ease and she seemed a bit more tense than usual. It was almost as if she was giving Malik a warning, telling him to stay away or back off. He shrugged the feeling off clearing his thoughts once more.

Malik: Excuse me sir but-

Dad: Well I didn't see you here girly. You're not the type of girl who wears clothes like that to school are you? (He said annoyingly.)

Malik: (Breathing in deeply.) Huh?

Bakura: 'H-he thinks Malik's a girl!!!! Priceless!!!!! I'll add that one to my blackmail book for safe keeping!!!' (^_^)

Joey: (Snickering.)

Yami: (His face turning bright red.) Heheehehe…

Malik: I'm not a girl sir. I'm a guy.

Dad: (Looking him up or down.) HONEY!

Mom: Yes dear?

Dad: Th-that thing is a boy!! Tea what sort of friends are you hanging out with??!!!!
