Not to be toyed with

Yami knew that something was wrong with Tea but he could not force her to tell him. What distressed him the most was the fact that Tea didn't feel as if she could trust him with the truth.
Yami's eyes rose and fell just as quickly when he saw Tea move a fraction to turn away, and he could not allow that to happen. He quickly placed bout hands on either side of her face and turned her head to face him. But something was amiss, Yami could sense that something was causing her pain so he tilted her head up, thereby revealing the bloody cut in her neck that was left by Marik only moments earlier.
"Tea what happened?" Yami's eyes voiced a kind of power causing her to answer.
"I-uh-it was nothing. I have to go now." She ripped away from his hands remembering what Marik had told her about staying away from the Pharaoh.
"Tea, I don't believe you, who did that to you, he has to be stopped." Yami urged assuming the cultrate was a male.
"Yami stop it. If you want to help me then you wont ask me that." Tea stepped back in fear, this action sent a pang of pain through the pharaoh's heart. "I'm sorry," was all Tea said before running off through the gate that surrounded the school.
-----------------------------------
Later that night Yugi was getting ready for bed when Yami let out a sigh. "What's wrong?" he asked
"It's about Tea." Yami said and Yugi gasped fearing what was to come next.
Yugi sat on the edge of his bed, "what is it?" he voice held a sense of urgency, "Is she okay?" Yugi asked
"I'm not too sure. She seems to be frightened of me. She was acting very strangely this afternoon."
"Maybe she is just nervous."
"About what?" Yami asked
Yugi smiled innocently, "I think you should ask her tomorrow. She did have a long day...did she tell you the good news?" Yugi asked as he crawled to the top of the bed and pulled back the covers.
"No, what is it?" Yami asked as Yugi slid between his sheet and blanket.
"Um I promised her that she could tell you." Yugi yawned, "good night spirit." Yugi pulled off the chain that held the puzzled and placed it on a pillow on he nightstand.
Yami smiled at his innocent counterpart, Yugi had become like a little brother to him and he was thankful for him, "sleep well Yugi." Yami said before returning to the spirit room to sleep.
---------------------------------
Tea sat before her vanity brushing her hair after just having taken a shower, Her mirror showed her reflections of Marik. "Yami is my friend and I will not let you manipulate me like one of your puppets...again..." Tea vowed as the vision of darkness faded.
----------------------------------
Tuesday, a new start, and Tea was happy to be ridden of her nighttime demons, she knew that seep down Marik was being controlled, like Bakura, by the spirit of his millennium item. Which mad Tea think about how lucky she was that Yami had a benevolent heart and tea had taken an affinity toward the pharaoh of five thousand years.
As Tea walked down the street on her way to school impressed by the blue sky and the green trees she failed to see the person in front of her, "Ow I really have to stop running into people like that." she said to herself. "I'm sorry."
"That's okay sweetie," it was Mai, "what are you doing out here kiddo?"
"I am on my way to school. Where are you going?"
"I got this strange call from Joey. He said that it was important so I am on my way to see him." she said
"Oh no. Is he going to skip school today?" Tea's eyes twitched as anime flames came up behind her.
"No! For your info I am not gonna skip skool taday." Joey said popping up behind the girls.
"Well I have to go." Tea said slyly and ran ahead to see Tristan, Duke, Bakura, and Yugi. "Hey guys."
"Hello tea." Yugi said, "are you feeling better?"
"Better?" Tea said scratching her head as the four boys looked at her, then she remembered, Marik. Tea put a hand on the back of her head. "Oh yeah, I think I have control over the situation." She said not knowing if she did of not,
"Good, because Yami wants to see you after school." Yugi verbally nudged her.
"Hey Yugi what about Rebecca?" Tristan asked thinking that she was come today.
"Oh, she won't be here until tomorrow." Yugi blushed
"Who's Rebecca?" Bakura asked sweetly as Joey jumped into the group.
"She accused yogi's grandfather of stealing her grandfathers blue eyes. And she talks to teddy bears. She's a freak." Joey said
"I'm sure she's given up the bear thing, Joey." Yugi said in her defense
-------------------------------------
After school Tea walked down the halls of her school only to find Yami looking out the double doors of freedom. He stood tall and proud and with the confidence that brought up her sprits.
Without turning to look at her he spoke, "Tea, what were you so nervous about yesterday?" he asked sternly
"I just wasn't feeling well. I'm sorry if I hurt you." Tea said and dared to take another step toward him.
"..."
"As for the cut on my neck... my necklace was yanked off when I fell down some stares. It's nothing." Tea said "oh, did anyone tell you yet that I got the part in that play?"
Yami turned around seeing Tea's eyes light up as he did "congratulations, Tea." He said
"I get to dance and follow my dream." Tea said and Yami smiled at her causing her to blush she and she came closer so that now she was standing next to him. "Do you, want to spend the rest of the day together?" she asked and flushed bright red at her question.
"What would you like to do?' he asked
"I'm not sure. Lets just through caution to the wind." Tea threw her arms up expressively, "we'll just start walking and she where that takes us," she said
----------------------------
They walked side by side down the crowded streets of Domino City. When a little store caught Tea's eyes. With a little persuasion she got Yami to walk with her. The smell of incense and candles filled the air. The tiny store was filled the racks and racks of gems, bracelets and power stones.
Tea began to look around as an old woman appeared behind a counter. "It's you," she said. Yami's eyes went up in interest and took a place near Tea protectively.
BL: what better than a chapter you just finished
