JasmineUnicorn: Sorry for the long wait for chapter 21. It was hard to write this chapter. This is just a warning to you all. I said in the last chapter that there will be a death.

Chapter 21 A Disastrous Time
The morning breeze was cool as it blew over Yugi's face. Opening his eyes and looking towards the window, he noticed the familiar shadow. He was showing no emotions from sad to happy. Yugi sighed as he rolled over. Was there a chance that everything that happen last night was just a dream?
Yugi continued to lay where he was until a knock came to the door. The shadow was no longer there as the door started to open. "Yugi, your friend Joey is on the phone." said Yugi's grandfather.
Jumping out of bed, Yugi grabbed some clothing and quickly ran downstairs after getting dress. "Hello." he replied on the phone.
"Hey Yug. Are you coming to the Hang Out later today. I want to have a duel before the Battle City starts." asked Joey.
"I don't know. I might stay home today." said Yugi before hearing his grandfather yelling at him.
"Your not leaving today. I have plenty of chores for you to do" said his grandfather.
"I guess I have to stay home. Maybe later tonight or tomorrow. Sorry." said Yugi hanging the phone up. Looking up the stairs, he noticed Yami leaning over the rail. He was shaking his head. Yugi quickly grabbed his shoe and ran up the stairs, but Yami was no longer there. "Yugi, come downstairs. I have a list for you. I need these things from downtown." said his grandfather inside the Game Shop.
Yugi sighed and rolled his eyes as he put his shoe back on and headed into the Game Shop. His grandfather handed him a list and some money before letting him leave. Yami was leaning up against the wall as he closed the door behind him. Yugi just kicked a rock at him, but he just ducked. Yugi just shook his head as he continued on his walk.
Half way downtown, he started to hear a familiar voice. It was Tea. "Joey called and said that you were not coming to the Hang Out. I went to your place to find out why, but grandfather said you were helping him. I am surprised that I found you so quickly."
"Ya. He wants me to go shopping for him and then help him in the shop. If I make it to the Game Shop tonight, it is going to be a miracle." replied Yugi stopping outside the first shop he had to go in. Tea decided to stay with Yugi till he got finished. Yugi had a small idea to see if what happen last night was true. It came to him as he was walking away from the ice cream shop holding two chocolate ice cream cones.
Both Tea and Yugi enjoyed their ice cream before heading on. Tea hated to tag along and bother Yugi while he was running jobs for his grandfather, but so how Yugi was enjoying the company.
It was already late after noon before Yugi finished the last item on the list. His stomach was growling showing signs of hunger. Tea giggled every time she heard it and a huge smile came over Yugi's face. Both stopped at a dinner to get something to eat. Yugi knew tonight was the perfect night to have his plan go in action. All he needed were the two main objects.
Half way home to the Game shop, Yugi decided to go ahead and ask. Nothing was wrong on asking and he had a fifty fifty chance. "Tea, is there a chance you will go out with Yami on a short park date.?" he asked.
It seemed like forever as she looked up at the sky as the rested on a curve. The sky was clear and the sun was warm that afternoon. "Ya, I guess I will do that. What time?" she said.
Yugi wasn't paying attention and almost stepped on one of the bags. "Come around seven. He should be ready by then." said Yugi.
Tea agreed and then helped Yugi carry the bags inside. Bidding her good-bye till the time, Yugi helped his grandfather with the jobs in the Game Shop. When six o clock came around, he quickly ran upstairs to get ready. Dripping in water from taking a shower, he ran through his closets to find the right outfit. Yami was leaning against the dresser just watching Yugi with curiosity. A couple of times, he had to duck to avoid a book or shoe from being thrown out. After what seemed like ten minutes, Yugi came out wearing a brown vest, black shirt, and black pants. Grabbing his boots, the puzzle, he quickly disappeared out the bedroom door. Yami followed and, leaning over the rail, saw Yugi run into the kitchen. Yugi started to dance across the floor as he tied his shoes, placed the puzzle around his neck, and started getting the picnic ready. Yami was trying to peak around the corner, but by the chance he saw the kitchen, Yugi was gone and had everything hidden.
Tea quickly got ready and was out the door ten minutes till seven. Arriving at Yugi's place, she felt a little nervous for being set up with Yami by Yugi, however, something made her fill warm inside as if this was what she wanted. Getting her courage, Tea knocked on the door, and came faced to face with Yugi. "Hey Tea. Here is the basket with the food and blanket. At the moment, he is clueless. Kept following me around like a hawk, but I kept him in suspense. As soon as we make it to the beach, you guys are on your own." said Yugi walking with Tea.
Arriving at the beach, Tea went to lean against the rail as Yugi sat down to rest. In just a few seconds, Yami was in his place. Yugi just whispered to Yami to have fun and to enjoy the picnic. For a few seconds, he was confused, but when he saw the basket, everything made since.
A cool breeze was blowing and Tea was enjoying it. Yami watched her as she stood there and then walked up. She smiled when he saw him. He took her hand and lead her down to a quiet place within the rocks. The mist of the sea caused by the water hitting the rocks felt good on their face as the sun started to set. Seagulls could be heard flying out into the horizon. Yami laid the blanket down and Tea started to unpack. Both were surprised by the food Yugi packed and enjoyed every bit. Inside the puzzle, it seemed as if Yugi was going crazy. He was happy that for what happen last night was not false. It was all true.
When the picnic was over, both headed down to the park. It was a calm afternoon and the smell of spring was flowing through the air. The flower buds were starting to open and birds were starting to be heard. Tea enjoy the sunset that was disappearing into the night. Yami just enjoyed being outside this evening. Both continued to walk deeper into the park, but something seemed to be following.
Just behind some bushes, a plan was being put into action. Two people disappeared behind a bush and headed towards a direction, while two others stayed behind. One was watching Tea and Yami carefully while the other was busy. It seemed that he was sharpening something to be used. "It is all ready." he whispered.
The person who was watching the couple knodded his head and picked up a bow and an arrow. Climbing out from behind the bush, he started to walk towards them. Yami and Tea, both stopped by the lake and were throwing bread crumbs into the lake. Two swans were nibbling away as the bread float across the water. Tea giggled as she watched them and Yami just sighed. He was enjoying every bit and felt thankful for Yugi to set this all up.
The person with the bow and arrow started to get closer to Yami and Tea. He dipped behind a bush and got the bow in position. Positioning the arrow, he knodded his head and relaxed. He was waiting for something. He was waiting for the plan to go into action.
Looking up at the sky and noticing that a couple of stars were starting to shine, Yami wrapped his arms around Tea and both started to head back up the path towards the exit of the park. The guy hidden in the bush, knodded his head and waved a white sheet. The two men that disappeared started running down the path and grabbed Tea's arm. "Let her go. What do you want with us?" yelled Yami.
"Stay quiet and the girl will not be harm. If you cooroperate with us, we will let her free." said the person holding Tea.
"If you want money, its in my purse. You can have all of it just let me go." said Tea shaking hard.
"The money is not what we need. We want the puzzle of your boyfriend." said the other guy. He was holding a dagger in his hand and started to head towards Yami.
Yami started to slowly back away, but heard another voice. "I wouldn't move if I were you." said the voice. It was coming from the bushes.
Yami started to look around, but saw no sign of another person. Turning back towards Tea and other men, he noticed that the guy holding the dagger had stop. He was smilling at something. Looking at what the man was smilling at, Yami noticed that someone was hiding in the bushes.
The bow and arrow was ready to be fired. The person in the bushes just needed to wait till Yami turned. Slowly, but surely, he was turning into position. Tea was following what Yami was looking at, but before he noticed, she noticed. The guy holding his hand over her mouth tightly so she was unable to shout anything out. Hearing a snap, Tea turned towards the bush and noticed that the arrow was released. Kicking the guy on his leg and stepping on his foot, Tea escaped the guys arms. Running as fast as she could, Tea ran towards Yami. Yami noticed her coming down. "Get out of the way." she kept yelling. Yami was unsure why.
Jumping in the way, both Tea and Yami came down hard. The two men that were standing up at the front started running up the path. The person hidding behind the bush jumped out and started walking up the path. With a blury vision, Yami just noticed that it was Marik. Trying to move, he noticed that Tea was laying across him. Trying to get her to move, he noticed that Tea was not breathing or talking. Rolling her off of him and kneeling on his knees, Yami noticed that it was an arrow that Tea was trying to save him from, however, instead of it missing her, it hit her straight in the chest. Blood was running down her shirt and her breathing was hard. Tears were running down her face as she tried to awake. Yami lifted her up and started running towards the nearest hospital.
"I need a doctor." yelled Yami running in. Two nurses and one doctor came running up with a stretcher. Laying her down, they carried her away. Yami just stood cover in blood from his shirt to his hands as the took her father into the hospital. One nurse came up and asked for her name, but after that, he said nothing more.
It seemed like hours since Tea was tooken away by the doctors. Yami had already called everyone and the crew including Kaiba and Mokuba were there. Serenity was in tears and Mai was trying to calm her down. Joey and Tristan were sitting across in dead silent. Mokuba was silent and one or two tears would run down his face. Kaiba was leaning against the wall. His face showed no emotions except for anger.
Ten minutes later a doctor showed up. Kaiba and Yami were both that ran up. "Tea Gardner is in serious condition. If she survives these few days, it will be a miracle. The poison that was on the arrow's tip is moving through her blood stream to fast. The antidotes we have here will not completely remove the poision. If we did give it to her, three days later, she would be poison again." said the doctor walking away.
Yami and Kaiba were surprised by what happen. Serenity was crying so hard that Mai had to hold her. Yami quickly ran out the door. Leaning over the bike rail, a tear ran down his eyes. She saved him and now she is dying. What is there that he or anyone can do?
