Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh!
This is the Bakura x Tea story. I thought of it while doing my tournie in San Jose. I know, I'll update the others as soon as possible, but I couldn't help myself! Once I have an idea down, I have to write it, or else I forget. Hope you like it!

"Pick any one of these barbarian inhabitants, it doesn't matter who."
Two intimidating men in thick black trench coats were walking the streets in Japan. "How about a female?"
The other looked at him incredulously. "Have you lost your mind? A female?!" He then broke into a slow grin. "Ah, I see what you're getting at! No female has ever been one....the Council would throw a fit if we picked a female. Ha, in that case why don't we pick the worst girl possible?"

10 minutes before.
Tea had never felt happier in her life. The day before Jason had told her that he loved her. "He loves me," she chanted to herself, savoring the words. The air was crisp and the leaves falling from the trees reflected her mood in their beautiful colors.
She had planned a surprise dinner for him and was heading to his house. As she went up the stairs, reaching for the doorknob, she heard a giggle come from his house.
That's odd, she thought, he doesn't have any sisters.....oh that's probably his mom. She entered the darkened room silently, her shoes making a quiet shh sound on his carpet floor.
"Oh Jason but what are you gonna do about that ditsy girl that calls herself your girlfriend?" said a purring feminine voice.
"Oh don't worry about her babe, I have her trippin' herself for me. If I said sit to her, she'd sit! I'll just break up with her tomorrow, she'd think that it would be all her fault," said Jason.
The light flicked on. "Wha-," said Jason, squinting his eyes. "Tea?!" He was half naked, curled around a girl from school.
"If you said sit.......I would sit?" Tea said softly. Tears filled her eyes, "How stupid could I have been? My friends warned me about you, but I didn't listen. I thought to myself, for once maybe I would be right about you." She took the container of food and opened the lid. "Oh and if I'm a bit ditsy, then I would have to say that girl is a bit whore-y," she said, throwing the food at them. The food landed with a loud splat, covering them with noodles, sauce, and sushi.
"Have a nice day Jason, don't every contact me again," she yelled as she slammed the door. Take one step at a time Tea, she thought, calm down. Just walk away slowly.
When she felt she was out of hearing distance, she burst into tears, running as fast as she could to her house.

Present
"How about that one?" The man pointed to a sobbing girl who was running down the street, bumping into pedestrians in her hurry.
"Perfect. The council might even trash this idea of training an earthling when they see this weakling," he snorted in disgust. "Really, can you imagine a human becoming a Superior?!"
Looking sideways, making sure none of the earthlings were watching, the figures of the men shimmered and vanished.
*********************
"Why!?" Tea said crying into her pillow. She felt disgusted with herself. How could I have been that blind not see this earlier? I have the worst luck in boys.....every single....damn.....time....this happens!
Eventually her sobs died down as she drifted away to a fitful slumber.
The men reappeared outside her window, floating a couple feet above the grass. They looked at each other questioningly, then nodded an affirmative.
"Leave a note," one said as they disappeared and reappeared in her bedroom.
**********************
Tea woke up to unfamiliar surroundings. I've finally flipped out, she thought, I'm seeing things. She rubbed her eyes and opened them. No change.
"You're awake just on time," said a cool voice. Tea sat upright. A man in a hooded cloak that concealed his face, lounged at the doorway.
"Who are you and what do you want from me," demanded Tea.
"You are presently in Sector 2, in the neutral zone of Galaxy 1," the man said in a bored tone. "The council will fill you in on the details of why," he made a disgusted face, "we are doing this to an......earthling. For now, wear the robe next to you and be ready to report in five minutes." He turned and left, shutting the door behind him.
Tea sat unmoving for two minutes. Then, AAAAAAAAAH! she screamed, running to the door. It was locked. She pounded the door with her fists. "Come back here! How dare you kidnap me!" she yelled, kicking and hitting the door with all her might.
But nothing happened. Okay, maybe if you do what that wierdo says, he'll let you go, she reasoned. She eyed the robe distrustfully. "Where are we, ancient Rome?" she grumbled as she took her clothes of and slipped on the blue robe. Hmm, it's comfy enough. The robe certainly flatters my eyes, she thought as she yelled, "I wore the stupid thing!"
The door opened and the man bowed to her. "Then will you come with me?" He walked down a dimly lit hall, Tea trailing behind him. "What is this place," she said wonderingly to the man, gazing upon the lights. The lights were blue orbs glowing in the darkness. "Hurry up," the man said curtly, "we'll be late."
"Excuse me," huffed Tea, "you're the one who brought me here, so deal with it."
In response, the man grabbed her wrist and hauled her after him, forcing Tea to run to keep up.
The stopped at a magnificent silver door. It slid open to show hundreds of figures, seated on what looked like a mimicry of the Coliseum but with modern technology. The murmurs of the people died down as they noticed the two figures at the doorway.
They waited expectantly at them. "Um....hehe..," Tea said, nervously darting her eyes. She never felt more scared in her life. So many people watching her like she was a bug under their feet.....wait, people?! These weren't people! In the seats were variety of diverse........aliens? (The only logical thing her mind could think of)
The man pushed her, "Go to the center of the stage." He then walked back out of the doors.
Hesitantly, Tea walked to the middle of the floor. A huge blue man with antennae coming out of his head waddled to her. "My child we mean you no harm."
"Are-are you aliens?" Tea said waveringly.
Laughs and guffaws boomed throughout the room, echoing into Tea's ears. "My dear girl........girl?!" The laughter silenced. "You.....are a female of the species on earth?" the man said with a please-let-be-wrong expression.
"Yes, is their a problem with that?" Tea said cautiously.
Immediately chaos broke out, shouts and yells of outrages were heard.
"A girl? A female? This is too much!"
"Silence!" the man roared. As the crowd settled disgruntedly, he said in a quieter voice, "Obviously you're all thinking that this plan can not continue but it will! Quiet!" he yelled as the crowd hummed in anger. "We are the Council, we must act with the respect this position deserves!"
"Now, what's your name girl?"
"Uh...Tea, but you know, I really think that whatever you're planning is a bad idea. So why don't you just send me back to my home and I'll never tell anyone about this."
"I'm sorry Tea, but as the legal law of this Galaxy and therefore your planet, you must obey us." He looked at Tea's scared expression.
"Let me make this easier for you. To the misguided humans, we are aliens. But really that doesn't make sense. Anyways we divided this galaxy in Sectors, and Earth is in Sector 4. Usually we would have sent representatives to your planet at the first sign of human life....but in our eyes it is so inferior in technology and the humans use such barbaric ruling that we didn't. Basically that means we do not recognize your planet as a civilization. It is a barbarian planet, one of the worst in our eyes."
"However there have been.....people lobbying and creating a ruckus about your planet. They say that it is a civilization but just a little too backwards. They proposed reforming the planet. Eventually it got to the Council after, oh, a couple thousand years. They decided that they would take one human, try to reform it the best as possible and see how the results ended. If it ended well, we would recognize Earth as a civilization because it had the ability to become like one of us."
"So I'm the person," Tea said in disbelief. "What are you going to do, put blue make-up on me and feed my lard and butter to look like you?"
The man gasped. "Why how dare you! I am the Supreme Councilor here!" Trembling with indignation he said, "We are not going to transform you. Just see how much your body can take. Since the point of this plan is to see how far an earthling can be, we will train you to our highest position possible, the Superior."
"Now obviously you'll probably fail, not even the most highest warriors in this galaxy can become that, but this is a test after all."
"So basically I'm a lab rat, an inferior being that has no say in this." Tea was trembling with anger and fear. How dare they!
"Yes, but you should be proud, you're chosen to decide whether humanity can really called a civilization. It's all up to you. Now that we've filled you in, your training will start right away. And don't worry, we left a note back home. You'll be back in about two months, our time goes a lot slower than Earth. Plus we have a room that will slow time that what would be an hour on earth would be a couple of years here, but that is only in the extreme cases."
