Tea dropped the phone on the ground, and sunk down to her knees. She watched

with helpless eyes as Malik, Yami, Bakura, and Tristan ran into the room to see what

happened. "Tea, what's wrong? Who was that just now?" Malik asked her as he

dropped to his knees. Tea shook her head. Her eyes were wide with fright. "She's too

scared to say." Bakura commented. He bent over and retrieved the phone. He held it up

to his ear to see if there was anyone on the other line still. Unfortunately, there wasn't.

He placed the phone on the counter. Malik managed to pull Tea to her feet. The fear had

disappeared from her eyes, and was replaced with sorrow. Malik put two comforting

hands on her shoulders. "Tea, please tell me what they said." He pleaded. Tea looked

down at the floor. "Th-They were describing how Kaiba died. The man told me that he

was with my father but he was waiting in the car. When the ambulance arrived, he

jumped out of the car, and told one of the paramedics he was a friend of Kaiba's. The

paramedic said that he could ride in the back, so he got in. When they loaded Kaiba in,

the man said that he wasn't fully dead yet. He told me he was gasping for air, like a child

who was choking on a piece of candy. He said that he began to cough up blood, and then

after a few more minutes of struggling, he finally stopped breathing for good." She

explained. Hot tears began to form behind her eyelids, but she managed to hold them

back. "The scary part was, he was laughing the same sadistic laugh the whole time he

was telling me this story." She added, still trying desperately to hold her tears back.

Bakura cringed. "That guy is really asking for it." He said through clenched teeth. Tea

stepped past the group of guys standing around her. She walked into the living room to

see Serenity and Joey sitting on the couch, looking extremely worried. Tea managed to

give them each a small smile. "Thank you for having us over Serenity, but I think I need

to go home now." She told them both. Serenity nodded and smiled. "Go home and get

some rest, maybe you'll forget what happened here tonight." She said. Tea nodded as

Malik walked up behind her. He took one of her hands, and gently led her out of the

house. "Do you want me to drive?" He asked, when they stepped out into the darkness.

Tea nodded, as she dug around in her pockets for the car keys. She found them, and

handed them to Malik. Then, they both climbed into the car. Malik started the ignition,

and backed out of the Wheeler's driveway. They drove in silence for a while. Finally,

Malik spoke up. "Tea, I'm really sorry you had to go through that ordeal." He

commented. Tea was startled at what he said. "I know, I am too." She replied. He

voice was quiet and meek. After a few more minutes of silence, they pulled into the

driveway. The two of them got out of the car, and Tea took the keys from Malik as she

flipped through all them to try and find the house key. After a few moments she did, and

they were inside the house. Tea dropped her thing onto the floor, and began to climb the

stairs to her room. When she was out of sight, Malik heaved a heavy sigh. "Just when I

think she's starting to get better, those jerks go and pull something like this." He said

quietly to himself. He walked over and sat down on the couch. He turned the television

on and began to flip through channels to try and find something interesting to watch.

After a few minutes, he was sick of flipping, and he just shut the TV off. He sat there in

silence for a little while. Then, all of the sudden, he heard footsteps on the stairs. He

turned to see Tea walking down the steps. She still had a very sorrowful look on her

face, and he could sense sadness in her deep blue eyes. She descended the rest of the

stairs, and took a seat next to Malik on the couch. He had a very startled look on his face.

Tea noticed it, and gave him a small smile. "I just couldn't stay up there by myself." She

told him, as if she was trying to reply to the confused look on his face. This made Malik

smile too. "I'm glad you decided to come down here with me." He replied. Tea gently

laid her head down on Malik's chest. He slipped his arms around her to try and comfort

her. After a few minutes of sitting there in silence, just enjoying each other's company,

Tea looked up at Malik, and she gazed into his lavender eyes, which were sparking with

happiness. She reached up, and gently kissed him on the lips. Malik once again was

startled, but he got over that quickly, as he kissed her back. Tea buried her hands in his

soft blonde hair, and twisted a piece of it around on her finger. Malik gently ran his

fingertips up and down her back, then he moved onto her sides. Tea smiled into his lips

as she tried to hold back her laughter. Malik pulled away from her, and smiled a devious

smile. "Oh, so you're ticklish?" He asked. Tea shook her head vigorously, she had a

sheepish grin on her face. "I think you're lying to me." Malik said, as he attacked both

of her sides with his hands. She started to laugh hysterically. "Stop it Malik! Please!"

She pleaded, trying to pry his hands off of her sides. After a few more minutes of the fun

torture, he stopped. Tea managed to bring her laughter down to giggles. Malik sat back

against the couch again as Tea finally stopped laughing. They sat in silence for a few

minutes, when Tea jumped up. Malik looked at her with a surprised look on his face. "I

forgot to check the mail!" She exclaimed, as she walked over to the door, and

disappeared out into the dark. She made the short walk to the mailbox, and pulled the

mail out. She flipped through it, until she came to an envelope addressed to her in sloppy

handwriting. A smile spread across her lips, as she ran inside the house. Little did they

both know that the car parked across the street had been watching them both very closely,

and they weren't about to leave anytime soon. Tea shut the door as she stepped into the

house. Malik noticed the large smile on her face. "Guess what!" She exclaimed

excitedly. "What?" He asked, amused by her happiness. "We got a letter from

Mokuba!" She answered him. Malik smiled and stood as Tea began tearing the top of

the envelope, ready to see what Mokuba had to say.
