Chapter 15 A Night Of Fears, A Time Of Sorrow

Yami never went to Tea's house that day. Instead, he headed to the beach and sat down by the water. Kaiba came up to him, but Yami never said a word to him. Kaiba only mention that Tea came back because of love and caring. If Yami never excepted it back, then what was the reason for Tea returning? Kaiba left Yami with the question and for the whole evening he was thinking about it.

Down by the worn down building where Marik was, his plan was starting to get into action. Grabbing his Millenium Rod and his newest weapon, Marik headed out towards the direction where his plan was going to be in action.

Tea was even out for the evening. She was walking trying to understand everything that had been happening that day. She thought that Yami would be happy that she was back, but the glare in his eyes made more sence than ever. Leaving him alone, was the best idea, however, was it safe.

Turning down the park, she continued down towards the pond. As she was walking, she never knew that two more people would meet her there, but in unexpecting ways. Sitting down on the bench, she looked towards the calm pond that had two ducks and a swan swiming by. Even the sound of the waterfall was soothing, but lonely. Looking up towards the clear sky, she wished that he was there. Hardly did she know, he was there.

Marik and his Rare Hunters were arriving towards there destination. There plan was set for the one person they needed was there. Sitting down looking at the stars, she seemed helpless and Marik wanted her that way. "Is the poison ready?" asked Marik turning back towards his Rare Hunters.

"Yes, Master Marik. One arrow is equiped with the poison." said the Rare Hunter handing Marik the bow and arrow. Marik moved to a bush and bent down preparing to fire the arrow.

Farther away from Marik only a little way from Tea, was Yami. He did not know that Tea was there, but he did sence the danger that was happening. Marik's Millenium Rod glittered in the moonlight and Yami noticed it quickly. Following the direction Marik was pointed at, Yami noticed a young girl sitting on a bench near the pond. Moving around to get a better look, Yami realized it that the person Marik was aiming the arrow at was Tea.

The bow was pulled back and Marik was ready to fire. He knew there was no help around. It was too still of a night. No sound was heard and no one was around to be seen. One poison was going to cause so much pain and perhaps a surrender. Letting go of the bow, the arrow moved quickly and smoothly throw the bush making its way straight for Tea. Yami quickly started running with all his might. Tea quickly noticed him and froze. He dove knocking her off the bench towards the ground. The arrow made its mark, however, within the wrong person. Rolling off the bench, Yami went down unconscience.

Tea was laying on the grass, but unharmed. Shaking her head, she started to remember what happen. Looking around, Tea noticed Yami laying on the ground. Blood was running over his hand and he seemed to be unconscience. Marik was still hidden behind the bush. He did not want to move till he knew that his arrow hit his mark. Looking carefully,Marik noticed Tea leaning over something. Moving around the bush, he noticed it was the pharoah. He was unconscience and hit directly in the chest by the arrow. Smiling a twisted smile, Marik walked away. In a few minutes, he would return to claim his prize.

Tea had tears running down her face. A few splattered upon Yami's face waking him up. Quickly, he felt the pain peircing his chest. Looking down, he noticed that he took the blow of the arrow instead of Tea. Looking up towards Tea, he notice her crying. Moving his hand over her face, he wiped the tears away. She gripped his hand and just held it tight as tears continued to run down her face. Slowly, but surely, his hand started to slip. His life started to slip away. The poison that was upon the arrow was starting to take its mark.

Tea quickly shook her head. She could not loose him not after all this. Looking around, she tried calling for anyone to help until she remembered her cell phone. Grabbing her phone, she quickly called everyone including Kaiba. Looking down at Yami, she noticed that his breathing was short and his pulse was dropping.

Ten minutes went by since Tea called for everyone. Kaiba was the first person along with Joey, Serenity, Tristan, and Mai following. Mai and Serenity both had tears in their eyes. Joey and Tristan could not believe what was going on while Kaiba was just angry. Slowly, but surely Yami's heart started to stop till it was no more. Tea quickly grabbed his hand again and held it tight till she noticed a glow. The blood that was across his chest was no more. The arrow that had peirced Yami was no longer there. Even the look of Yami seemed young. Everyone seemed to be confused till Tea noticed it. Splashing water of his face, Yugi quickly sat up coughing. The puzzle started glowing and when he looked down, he noticed that the middle peice was missing. Turning around, he tried to find it, but Tea stopped him. She shook her head and whispered that he was gone.

Marik started returning till he noticed the little one sitting there looking sad. A twisted smile started to come upon his face. Grabbing the Millenium Rod, he walked towards the group. Tea, Serenity and Mai moved back behind Yugi and Kaiba while Yugi moved forward. "Why are you here?" demanded Yugi.

"I have noticed that my arrow has missed the girl, but hit the pharoah instead. As you can see, he is no longer here. Also, little Yugi, your puzzle is missing a peice. You will never bring him back unless you find the antidote. Yes, the arrow that peirce Yami was poison. He is lying in Egypt, but will never return till the poison is no more." said Marik turning away and leaving.

Tea dropped to her knees and had tears coming from her eyes. Yugi and Kaiba both dropped down and held her. She started to blame herself for Yami's death. If she had never returned, he would still be here. Pushing both Yugi and Kaiba away, she ran till she saw a ghostly figure. It was Yami. He was shaking his head. His eyes looked sad, but loving. Tea could tell what he was saying. She knew there had to be away to bring him back. Once again she dropped, but this time it was within Yugi's arm. Kaiba helped Yugi up by picking her up. Everyone headed to his mannor. The following morning they were heading to Egypt to Yami's tomb.

Clouds were starting to roll in as Kaiba drove towards his manor. Everyone was silent including Yugi from what happen. Arriving at the manor, Joey followed Mokuba while Mai and Serenity followed Joey. Kaiba stayed back with Yugi for he was carring Tea. She fell asleep as they were driving. Walking upstairs, Kaiba took Tea to a spare bedroom and layed her down to rest. Walking out and closing the door, both Yugi and Kaiba could hear her crying. Yugi felt devastated from the events and knew he had to do something to help her.

Arriving downstairs, Joey was the first person to speak. "How is she?" asked Joey.

"Crying. She is so upset." said Yugi sitting down in a chair.

"Tomorrow moring, you will be taking my jet to Egypt. From there on you will need to find your own way to the tomb." said Kaiba walking into the kitchen.

"So much for the help from him." said Joey.

Yugi looked from Joey to the kitchen door and then headed in. Kaiba was getting a drink of water when he noticed Yugi. "You should get some rest." said Kaiba laying the glass down.

"Come with us. It would help her more than me." said Yugi.

"I am not having any part of this journey. She is your friend not mine." said Kaiba

"Ya, but you do care for her or you would not help her at the hospital. Remember." said Yugi

"Of course, but the only reason was that I was in that area. If I wasn't, she would still be in the hospital." said Kaiba.

"True, but you saved her. At least you could do for her is come with us to Egypt." said Yugi turning away and exiting the kitchen.

Sitting down in one of the chairs, he started to think of everything that was happening. The pharoah is gone. Tea is upset and no one cares about it all. He seemed to be so confussed by it all. Looking out the window, he started to hear a noise. Kaiba and the others started to hear the noise for the all came into the same room. It was Tea. She ran down the stairs and straight out the door. Kaiba and Yugi both looked at each other and then ran out the door.

Outside, laying on the ground unconscience was Tea. Kaiba walked over and checked if she was okay. Trying to lift her, she started to move. "Let me go." said Tea dropping and running.

"Tea, running from this will not solve your problems." said Yugi.

"It is the best for now. I will keep running till I forget him." said Tea. Tears were streaming down her face. She felt hurt and more acked with guilt.

"Running is not the best. Yami did not die because you returned. He was coming to talk with you. He saved your life." said Yugi.

"If I never returned, he would not have to talk with me." yelled Tea stopping but not turning back towards Yugi and Kaiba.

"You got to remember. Yami will live again. Marik has been after him for some time. Everytime Yami has fought his way through his plan. We will find him, but you got to trust us." said Yugi slowing walking up towards Tea. She turned around and just dropped into his arms. Kaiba came up and picked her up. Returning inside, Kaiba layed her back in her room.

"I will come, but just because of her not you." said Kaiba
