Hi, hi, CC here folks. I am trying my hardest to keep things updated recently a lot has happened and unfortunately even though I am on a kick to begin writing again I will be going home to Hawaii for a few weeks. So this may be my last update for about 3 weeks, Unless I can put another one out after this one in a quick sequence. A special thank you to miko youkai , whom is one of my best friends and yelled at me saying I couldn't leave her hanging, Which pleased me particularly as she has never read Yugioh fanfics before =) -huggles Tenny-
We all know I do not own Yugioh.. If I did well.. -blushes-
Anyhow! On to the show!
Malik shook his head slightly as he fought the darkness trying to consume him. "Don't you get it? If she dies, if she perishes! Then it will all have been in vain! We will lose in the end anyhow. This is a dangerous web we have woven! The Pharaoh will stop at nothing to get her back!" his millennium item began to glow slightly. A fleeting look of insanity crossing his face as his darker half answered him. "Then I will take care of this." He kept control of the situation. Blocking out his lighter side as he wandered towards the door leading to the basement, Locks would be undone. His fingers lowering to turn the knob and open it. Down the steps he swept. Hand raising to pull upon a chain, light flickered over the area as the bulb came to life, it swung slightly, casting shadows over area's in that dank basement.
Approach would be made to the bed holding the girl. Frame would bend slowly, a hand brushing across her brow as he inspected her. No. She did not look too well at all. Her face had paled.Presperation had drenched her face, She even shivered. Malik had been right. Things would not go very well if she perished. Yet he could not allow her to leave. Not if she remembered anything. His item began to glow slightly as eyes bore into the girl. Then his own eyes shut, as he entered her mind, manipulating her to forget anything, everything. Perhaps.. He could turn this into something better. become her hero, her confidante. He would be met with resistance as he tried to accomplish such feats. The girl had a strong soul. Apparently her body nor mind appreciated being tampered with. Yet with a broken body, and a weakened heart, it would not take much to weaken her defenses.
Finally. His work done he allowed his lighter side some insight. "Her mind has been cleansed, You will now take her to a hospital and tell them you found her somewhere. You will attempt to get closer to her, She will remember none, not her friends nor family. You will become her best friend." He released his hold upon Malik then and retreated into his soul room. Yet.. he would be watching. He was always watching, plotting his next move.
She was in grave danger. She was hurt. He clenched his fists as he tried to remain calm. Yet tears blurred his vision, only to travel down his cheeks. A hand rose to swipe at those tears. Four days had passed with no sign, no lead to what might have happened to her. It had nearly broken him. He had stopped going to school. Barely slept, only his desire to bring home his beloved keeping him going. He paced the floors his brows knitting in concentration. He had to keep going. Hand moved to sift through those tri-colored spikes before a blazer would be thrown over his black tee, then he headed for the doors. Though the ringing of the phone would stop him. Ivory bit down upon his lower lip as he moved forth. Hand edging forward to grasp the phone. The room had gone quiet as others looked on.
"Game Shop. Yugi speaking." He murmured. Only for eyes to widen as information would be relayed to him. "Found her..? Where? Is she all right? At the hospital? Malik Ishtar found her? Where was she? I'll be right there." A near shattered breath escaped him as he set the phone down. His whole body trembled. "Tea.. " He whispered, then he turned about to face those whom stared on at him. before a smile broke through. He wanted to scream and shout! "Tea has been found! She is alive and well! She is alright! I.. I have to go to the hospital and see her." He murmured. things were suddenly hazy. Like a dream. She had been found. Tristan and Joey let out whoops of victory as the group cheered. It was a relief. Then suddenly hands would be upon his shoulders, Ushering him towards the doors. "I'll give you a ride Yugi." Tristan said as he shoved a helmet into the boys hands. A grateful smile would be offered to his friend, Possibly the first real smile seen upon the boys face in days. Then that helmet would be placed upon his head and upon the motorcycle he got behind Tristan. soon, they would be taking off towards the hospital.
Blips and beeps sounded out, that girl had been lain in her bed after they had patched her up. Tubes and monitors nearly encompassed the area she had been placed in. An officer stood outside of her door. She seemed far smaller then normal, Her body had taken quite a beating. One leg propped up and casted revealed broken bones, wrists had been stitched up, as they had been abused in her attempt to escape. A nurse left her room after giving her something for the pain.. Though the girl had yet to awaken, small frowns and whimpers would flicker upon her face or escape her from time to time...
In her own mind.. Her own dreams.. she wandered. Trying to remember. Trying to remember it all.. Figures wavered in an out. One gentle with amethyst eyes, different colored hair, he made her feel warm.. yet she could not remember his name.. nor knew whom he was.. She tossed and turned slightly within her bed. Small murmurs escaping her. Too much strain.. Eventually she simply let it all fade away. Something was wrong.. She couldn't piece anything together, yet.. her mind seemed to be trying to break through the fog surrounding her mind. Fingers gripped upon the sheet, a small gasp escaping her as eyes opened suddenly. Fear writ in those cerulean depths... Yet all that met her would be amethyst eyes filled with concern. A hand held her own gently, the warmth in them comforting. "A..am I dead?" She murmured softly as she stared up at this boy.. the boy in her dreams.. She bit upon her lower lip slightly as pain flickered across her face. She did not feel so well.. "Who.. who are you?" She managed to say a moment later. Of course shock darted upon his features as they stared at each other.
She did not remember him. He felt a pang in his heart as she asked him whom he was. Then that inner voice spoke to him. 'Her mind has been tampered with. It is as if.. someone cleared her mind completely. We will have to be careful and not frighten her Yugi.' The boy nodded slowly as he listened to those words, then a tentative smile pressed upon his features. "I am Yugi, We are.. " He flushed then, and her eyes widened slightly as she caught the meaning behind that blush. Yugi merely nodded and leaned over to kiss her upon the forehead. "You are safe now. I will not leave your side until you are well enough to go home."
Everyone would agree. For Joey, Tristan and a hand full of other friends had made their ways in, Though it was a bit flustering as The girl did not recognize any of them. Yugi simply maintained that cheerful disposition, His hand never once releasing Tea's own. He simply marveled at the fact that she was home with him now. He would not allow her out of his sight ever again..
He watched through the glass window as she found herself surrounded by friends, friends whom she did not recognize. Hours had been spent as he explained to the police officers that he had stumbled upon her near the High School Gym. He had been first held under their hard glare, then patted upon the back and called a hero. Oh.. Things could not get any better. All he had to do was wait.. Wait until one of them were foolish enough to leave her alone. Then.. he would start to remold her mind. If he could. She seemed far more powerful within her mind then others could see. If he waited too long.. She would recover..
AN: Whew there we go. Chapter 8. I hope you enjoyed it. I pretty much enjoyed writing this chapter. A bit of a relief to have her out of Maliks clutches for now
