I don't own Yugioh!
Authors note: Reviewer who didn't understand will have their questions answered now...
Sweet Cheery Kisses: About the scars it is more a mental torment than a physical one. Devil is using the 'invisible' scars to make Téa feel bad. You know how anorexic teens see themselves as 'fat' though they are super skinny? It's the same idea, Téa thinks she has all these scars that makes her ugly (disfigured) so yeah, hope that answered one of your questions. About the green-eyed girl it refers to Serenity. But it isn't important so don't fuss over it. Thanks for reviewing ^^
- Téa's group -
Téa couldn't take it anymore. One month after the 'incident' she finally got out of depression. But now Devil's words were piercing through her heart like knifes. Don't believe anything he says, she thought to herself. She opened her eyes only to meet the amethyst eyes of the pharaoh. He looked angry and worried. His stern gaze was focused on Téa and Devil. Téa knew he went out with Serenity. At first she thought it was okay but things began to change. Téa knew her crush for Yami grew to the next level.
"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Laughed Devil hoarsely.
Yami was speechless. He couldn't do anything to help Téa out of the predicament.
"So what would it be?" Devil said annoyed. "Fine, I'll make it simpler. Answer this, do you love her as more than a friend or as a friend?"
"I love her as a friend," Yami said quickly hoping Devil would let Téa go.
Téa's hopes were shattered by every single word Yami just said. Her heart stopped at the last three words. As a friend, she thought as tears rolled down her cheeks. Devil laughed continuously. He looked at the crying girl in his grip. She wasn't fighting back anymore, he thought and smiled.
"Did you hear that?" Devil asked Téa.
Téa couldn't find her voice so she nodded in reply.
"Do you have anything to say to him?"
Téa nodded again. She needed to tell him. Yami looked at her. He was a bit confused.
"Yami," Téa chocked. "I love you. I love you more than anything! I love you even more than I love myself. I hope you'd know that," More tears fell.
"Téa," Yami started but was lost in her tear filled eyes.
"Too bad so sad he doesn't have the same feelings for you," Devil laughed as he tightens his grip on Téa.
"I've answered your question. Now let her go!" Yami demanded.
Devil brought the axe right next to Téa's neck and smiled. He walked to the side. Yami was about to move but Devil gestured his axe.
"What made you think that I was going to let her go? Don't move or else off goes her head!" Laughed Devil insanely. Suddenly he took off in to the darkness along with Téa.
"Téa!" Yami shouted and ran after them. Yami could hear the heavy footsteps ahead but as each turn leads to the next the footsteps were getting quieter. He stopped when footsteps were no longer heard. His eyes were long adjusted to the darkness of the caves. He could see his dilemma, two pathways to choose from. His heart was such a mess that he no longer had the ability to stay calm and find clues to where Téa and Devil were. "My other self," Yugi called. He was worried too. "Aibou I am lost," Yami said pacing in a straight line. "I know but we have to find them," "I don't know where we are and where Téa was taken to. I fear the worst," "We can work this out," Yami tried to be calm but couldn't. Fear and anger had taken the better of the king of games. He couldn't use his duellist intuition. He paced from one path to the next. He hit his fist hard on the wall to vent his anger, which caused his knuckles to bleed. "Don't be like this," Yugi begged. He knew what his other self was going through. He could feel it too, through the connection between them and through his own heart. "Try any one of them. It's a 50/50 chance," "You're right Aibou. I am such a fool!" Yami said and dashed to the closest path and ran as if nothing could stop him. ***
Téa was dragged by Devil along the path. She just followed his orders to run. She didn't resist mainly because she felt it was no longer necessary for her to resist. Her life will be over even if she was saved. She had told Yami that she loved him even though he told her she was just a friend. Being killed isn't too bad, she thought as she ran.
"You are such a good girl maybe I'll keep you for a little longer," Devil laughed as they continued to run.
"Whatever," Téa said having no fear in her voice. She finally knew what Ai felt like when she got rejected from the group.
"Heartbroken?"
Téa sniggered. She didn't feel heartbroken, no way. How can you fail a relationship you never started, she thought. Tears crept its way down her cheeks without herself realising it. ***
After running down the first path out of the two for about 5-8 minuets, Yami was getting angry. He hadn't heard anything since he chose this path. He stopped and rested against the walls of the cave. His breathing was rapid and his lungs felt like they were on fire. But he knew he had to go on. He ran a little farther before coming to a complete shock. He froze.
"Aibou," Yami said as he took another breath. "Our choice was wrong,"
Yugi didn't reply. He mentally collapsed in his soul room.
"Dead end," Yami said and fell to his knees.
-Ai's group-
Ai's smile grew wider as she mumbled to herself and walked in circles. Seto, Bakura, and Kiyoshi are now engaged in a dead silence. It looked like the three were having a staring contest.
"That's it!" Ai shouted with a big smirk.
Ai's shout brought the three guys back from 'death-glare land'. The three of them made no facial movement of surprise as expected.
"What's it?" Bakura said bitterly.
"Where he is!" She said walking toward Kiyoshi.
"You are still getting re-trained," He said not looking toward Ai.
Ai's face grew cold ignoring Kiyoshi's comment.
"Téa and Yami are in danger," She said plainly.
"What?" Seto said. "I'm going to find them,"
Seto ran past Ai and Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi was reaching for his gun but Ai stopped him.
"You know what not to do," Ai said. "And besides, we have to find the way out... Damn it!" Ai said quickly and took out the mini walky-talky.
"I'll turn a blind eye to you," Kiyoshi said to Bakura.
Bakura laughed in victory much to Kiyoshi's hate. Nevertheless Kiyoshi wasn't about to give a full explanation of why. While Bakura and Kiyoshi were talking Ai was frantically trying to get contact with Téa and Yami. To her dismay no one picked up.
"Could it be that those two already was caught?" Ai asked her self still trying to get contact.
"So where is Devil?" Bakura asked.
"He is that hooded figure! I don't know the complete details but it makes sense. The timing fits in perfectly and also I knew I've heard his voice before. Listen, since Kaiba is going to Téa and Yami's aid we are going to find the exit," Ai said walking into the tunnel they chose before Kiyoshi interrupted. Bakura followed and so did Kiyoshi.
- Seto-
He was a fast runner. Soon he came to the chamber Téa and Yami chose. Without any reconsideration he began to run again. For some reason he followed his heart. Cruse Yugi and his heart of the cards, he thought as he too came to the two choices. He didn't care which one he just ran for it. Something in him is giving him instructions. Something is making him go to Téa's aid. Suddenly he heard footsteps. He ran a little faster. A flash of light hit his darkness-adjusted eyes. He squinted only to find the light fading away along with the footsteps. He hurried behind. He was gaining on the light.
"Stop or else!" He shouted.
A reply took him by surprise.
"Kaiba!" a female voice yelled.
"Téa!" Seto said coming closer but stopped when he saw an axe held across her neck. "Let her go!"
"Seto Kaiba," Laughed Devil. "My name is Devil,"
Devil, thought Seto. "So you're the person that Takagi person was looking for," Seto smirked.
"Oh, so you've met my boss. How lovely his here too," Devil grinned.
"Let Téa go," Seto said recollecting his posture.
Téa? He called me by my first name, Téa thought as she looked at him.
"This is interesting," Devil said. "Love is definitely in the air!"
Love? Téa was confused. Seto clinched his fist.
"You want her?" Devil asked daringly.
Seto nodded though he didn't like the way Devil composed the question.
"You can have her!" Devil said. "But only if you do something first,"
-Yami-
Yami was at the intersection. He made it all because he still had hope. Yugi was still mentally stunned in his soul room. Yami got the cruel taste of despair once, and wasn't about to taste it again.
"Téa wait for me," Yami said to himself as he headed for the path he didn't choose.
"Yami," Yugi spoke in a tiny voice. "If..."
"No, Téa is alive," Yami said. He needed self-assurance in order to go on.
