Only in death (don't worry)
All it was, was a velvet red Curtain nothing more nothing less. I red doorway to her dreams a doorway and on the other end were friends, family, and There, back stage was someone new, someone she had loved since, apparently, before her life now, maybe in other lives before. And she knew she would be with Yami in this life as well.
Tea stood in the center of the stage on a small star that showed her, her mark. She stared at the velvet door as the sound beyond them told her of the many people that were waiting to see her dance. Her moon dance, the dance she had preformed to save the Pharaoh's life. She saved Yugi and because of it he was there to cheer her on as well.
Tea took in a breath of nervousness. She was not ready to perform before all the people in the city. She had been told that Kaiba would be airing the whole thing live. He was not going to at first but he said something clicked within him and he had to do it. Tea knew it was because some of his loyalty to the Pharaoh was still within his soul.
Tea knew this because, though a body might change, your soul and values will always remain the same even if they may not show at first. True colors always appear given time.
The Door was opened in and the lights grew low, leaving only pitch dark. The theater grew quiet and Tea closed her eyes as the moonlight sonata began to play. Then above her was a Sky Light, but the sky was dark save for the shining stars. As the hum of the piano picked up Tea began to dance, as she did so, flawlessly might I add, the Moon slowly went through its stages.
Slowly light filled the room, everyone gasped at the sight, they thought it was merely a special effect, for they could not see the sky light, but Yami, Yugi, Tristan, Joey who were watching from back stage and Tea did.
The song ended and so did Tea's Moon dance. She was showered with Roses, carnations, daises and other flowers. Tea took a bow and let her tears fall to the ground with the flowers. The Curtain closed, with the camera crew there she was sure to be discovered and that was another plus. She silently thanked Kaiba.
"Tea, you were great!" Tristan said and she looked at the five before bringing a smile to her lips as Yami and the others clapped for her. Yami took a step toward her and stop suddenly as if being pulled back. Marik came up behind Tea and grabbed her tightly.
"Poor little Pharaoh, I don't know how you got back but there is still time to finish what I started. The night of the bloody moon shall be tonight." Marik said vanishing into thin air.
"Marik!" Yami ran off to the spot where Marik once stood and cursed himself. He was right there, and he could not save her. Yami Turned around just as Mai, Rebecca, Ishizu, and Mr. Moto Joined the others back stage.
"Where is Tea? She was great?" Mai asked looking at Yami then at Yugi, "Why are there to of you?" she asked, "What is going on here?"
"Calm down Mai." Joey said, "There are Two Yugis because..." Joey Paused "why are there two of you?" Tristan and Yugi anime fell.
"The transfer back to the past ripped us apart." Yami said, "there is not time for this, we have to save Tea." He said, "No, I have to save her." Yami started to run off but Yugi ran to him.
"Wait, we have to do it together, we never accomplish anything by going alone. You don't have to be alone. I want to save her too; she saved me in the past. Yami, Marik still needs her, so she will be safe long enough for us to explain the situation." Yami sighed and walked back to the group to tell the whole story.
Atop the Tapa Tower (real place in Hawaii JTLYK just pretend it's in Domino)
Marik tossed Tea into an elevator and pressed the button to the top floor. "Marik, why are you still trying to do this?" she asked
"I want to be Pharaoh and it is my right. And I need not explain myself to you, you are only here to bring out the bloody moon." He smiled "then I will let you be with your prince." He said with distain.
"You promise. If I help you, you will let me join Yami and you will leave me and the others alone?" Tea asked
Marik smiled darkly and Nodded, 'oh I will let you join him...in death.' He thought as the elevator stopped at the tippy top. Marik had Tea slung over her shoulder as he stepped out into a small room at the top of the Tower.
"So we are going to try once more?" Bakura asked from the darkness with a rope in his hands. He snapped it against the floor causing a flinch to emerge from Tea.
"Here." Marik tossed Tea at the thief and he caught her and brought her to a small Rod That stuck from the ground as Tied her tightly to it. Tea looked down defeated as her hands were bound behind her back, something was cutting into her skin but she didn't want to complain, for those two loved to see people in pain so she would only make it worse by opening her mouth.
What was it that was cutting at her outer thigh like a dull knife? She thought back on the last few days and remembered her elemental beads. She only had one of each, maybe if she used them right she could free herself and Free Marik and Bakura from their evil spirits. Perhaps she wouldn't have to betray her friends by helping Marik.
'I will, use the beads...' she thought and frowned, 'but how?' she frowned and gasped when Marik began to speak.
"I will soon be Pharaoh and you will be my number one priest. I will have the world." Marik relished in thinking about himself.
'Men.' Tea scoffed in her mind, ' now back to the beads, I what could I use that would help me cut through these ropes?' she thought...of the Poem...
Green as thorny blades cut,
Blue as ocean's fury,
Violet as ice freezes the heart,
Red as fire burns soul,
Yellow as earth moves mountains,
Black as wind rips trough the sky.
All must be used wisely for one is all you have. But remember the true power of dance and moon
'That's it! The element of the forest, Green Thorny blades cut...' Tea smiled to herself, 'Better wait for the right time...' She thought
"You!" Marik's voice cut through her thoughts, "why are you smiling?"
"No reason, it's just that life is funny sometimes..." Tea said and Marik rolled his eyes
