Thievery is freedom

Tea spent most of her time at home practicing for the play on Friday. She could not shake, Marik's hold on her. She didn't understand why he was doing this to her.

"Why me, Marik. I don't want to help you hurt him. I refuse to." She yelled

:: You cannot stop me::

"I will, I just have to believe that I can." She said

::do you wish me to free you?:: Marik asked

"Yes." Tea said

::fine I have a proposition for you, my pet :: he said :: I need you to go to the Domino museum, there in the Egyptian exhibit, you will find a golden pouch::

"You wish me to steal from the museum?" Tea said, "what's in the pouch?" she asked

::do not ask foolish questions, Bakura will meet you there and he will help you. Do this and you may have your freedom.:: he said and his voice vanished.

"I will do this for you Marik, but I will tell Yami and the others everything once you are gone." She yelled, and climbed out her window and to the museum.
"You're late!" Bakura yelled

"Shut up." Tea said as she steeped up to the window, of which they were standing in front.

"I don't know why Marik sent you, you have no knowledge of the ancient ways. And I was once a great tomb robber." He spoke and he pushed open the window it was too small for him but just the right size for Tea.

"You were saying?" Tea teased,

"Just get in there and let me in." he ordered as he shoved her to the window where she climbed in. She scrabbled about a bit before opening the window wider allowing Bakura to enter.

Together the two walked though the empty museum and to the Egyptian exhibit. "You look over thare and I'll look over here." Bakura said in his dark and heavy accent.

"Okay." Tea walked off to a section of the exhibit that held the stone tablets of Yami and Seto. She studied it once more, "look what you have done." She said to the tablet the eyes fell upon a clear box on a golden pedestal. In the box surrounded but red velvet. "Bakura, there it is." Tea called out as she reached out to touch the glass.

"Don't touch it fool." Bakura said "the alarm will go off." He said as he sprayed the case with some kind of smoke and just like that red lasers appeared allowing him to see where her could touch the glass. He then bulled out a glasscutter and made a small hole where he reached in and pulled out the golden pouch. "Wonderful. Lets get out of here."

"Where?" Tea asked Bakura said nothing he only beckoned her to follow him.

They left the museum through the window and walked a few blocks before coming to a stop in an alley. "Ah, good, now for the next part of my plan." Marik said as he grabbed Tea. "And you will he your will back, but I am still not done with you yet." He said as he held the rod up to her forehead causing her to scream as the darkness was taken back. Tea passed out from the pain.

"What do we do with the Pharaoh's queen?" Bakura asked

"Bring her to he home." He said "the Pharaoh and Yugi are in for a ..."

---------The next day--------------

"Surprise!" Rebecca called to Yugi as she jumped from the terminal. "Yugi!" she cried as she jumped into his arms.

"It's great to see you too Rebecca" Yugi smiled and hugged her back. "Where is teddy?" Yugi teased

"Oh, I brought him just for Joey, but I don't talk to him anymore." She smiled "where is everyone else?" she looked around

"At the shop. Come lets go." Yugi smiled
"Hi guys." Bakura exclaimed as he walked through the game shop door. "did you here about the break in at the museum?" he asked

"Yeah, some one took an ancient powder." Mai said

"Where is yug?" Joey asked

"There he is, oh and there is Rebecca." Tristan said "and she has teddy with her." Tristan said looking out the window.

"Oh no." Joey said as they walked in

"Hey guys, you remember Rebecca?" he asked

"Hi." They all (Mai, Joey, Tristan, Serenity, and Bakura) said

"Look teddy, it's Joey." She whispered to the bear. "Watch out!" she shouted as she threw the bear at Joey causing him to jump and everyone else to laugh.

"Oh yeah, where is Tea?" Bakura asked and everyone paused

"She hasn't spoken to any of us in days." Mai said

"Something is wrong." Yugi said, "We should go see her." Yugi said, "you guys stay here and I'll get her." Yugi said and left the shop.
Tea woke up in her bed disoriented and lost. Then she remembered, last night what she did. She shot up and ran from her room where she ran into Yugi in the hall. "sorry...Yugi? What are you doing here?"

"I came to see if you were okay."

"Yeah I'm fine but there is something I have to tell you and Yami." She said
