Odd Jobs:

It was the first week of December in Domino City. Snow in its purest white covered the area and more began to fall. The time was two years later since the nightmare for Tea had happened. Just as she thought the nightmare was finally over, it had only begun. Sitting in her house, she vowed to herself that what happened that time won't happen again. So to keep herself busy, she looked up the ads for a job.

Ironically, the only job available for her was a job as a secretary at Kaiba Corp. For a few minutes, she hesitated before dialing the number.

"Kaiba corp job hotline," the lady on the other line spoke in a monotone voice. "Are you looking for a job?"

"Er...yes. I have read an ad of a job as a secretary."

"Ah, I would have to put you through the private line with Mr. Kaiba himself. One moment please."

"What?" Tea was obviously not comfortable to talking to Kaiba, of all people. "Hey wait a minute!"

But it was too late as the president of Kaiba Corp's voice leaked from the other line. "All right, your name, your qualities and all that other stuff."

"Well..." Tea started to say.

"Oh no, please..." Kaiba groaned. "Please do not tell me that this is the crazy cheerleader who starts cheering at every duel she goes to."

Tea made a face, cringing on the other line. "Why you pompous, arrogant..."

"Look Mazaki," Kaiba interrupted her. "Let's not start it here. I'm a busy man after all and I have a life. Since I know you well enough, I'll give you the job right away. Be at the lobby 7:30 tomorrow, no later." and before Tea could reply, there was a click on the other line before the phone started beeping.

For minutes, Tea didn't say anything as she placed the receiver back on its cradle. "Wow...I mean...wow." she said this nonchalantly.

"Wow! Of all people, Kaiba actually gave you a job as his secretary." Joey swung on the swing as he and Tea gathered at Domino Park. "You must be lying. Kaiba would never give you a job."

"Well, this time he did." Tea used her feet to stop swinging. "I don't know. Maybe he's desperate."

"Bah!" Joey stuck out his tongue. "I know Kaiba. He would never be desperate for anything."

"Well," she stood up, looking down at her friend. The only sole survivor besides her that survived the Christmas horror that happened two years ago. "I think I should get going. Have to be there at 7:30 tomorrow morning."

Turning on her heel, Tea left the park and headed home. Smiling to herself, she vowed that the horrid Christmas nightmare would not happen again. Nothing odd was going on, Yami landed himself in the mad home on the other side of town, and there could possibly be no way anyone else she knew would try to scare her or threaten to kill her.

She frowned to herself. Yami had claimed nearly all her friends as well as her cousin Midori. Though one thing of the whole nightmare remained a mystery. Something doesn't seem right, as if there was more to the case than she knew or what the media had covered.

Twenty minutes later, Tea had finally arrived back home. Reaching inside her bag, she took out the house key and inserted it in the keyhole, opening her door. Closing it behind her, her mouth dropped open, gazing with such horror.

Her living room had been trashed. Furniture had been turned over, walls had been slightly cracked, the window broken as if someone had broke in. Walls dripped with what looked like blood.

Tea didn't know what to think. At first glance, it appeared to be a robbery. However, nothing valuable, at least from her point of view, had been stolen. Another thought struck her mind. Suppose if the killer had come back to get her...

"NO!!" Tea screamed at the top of her lungs. "Yami is in the fucking mental hospital for crying out loud!!"

Suddenly, the phone rang. Tea's heart stopped cold, her eyes glancing at the phone which sat up on the floor. How badly she wanted to take that call but something in her gut told her not to.

"It could be Kaiba," she thought out loud. "I mean, sure it's normal for your boss to call..." she then picked up the phone. "Hello?"

All was silent for a few short minutes before a sinister laugh hissed through the other line.

"My God no..." Tea's voice shook with fear. Her breathing became short and rigid.

"Tea better watch out," the stranger sang to the tune of 'Santa claus is Coming to Town'. "Tea better cry. Why she better, I'll tell you why..."

"Who the hell is this?!?" Tea started screaming. "What do you want from me?"

"Santa's gonna kill the bitch...tonight." And at that, a butcher knife fell from the ceiling, the blade only inches from her own skin. Tea released a terrified scream as she saw the knife. The weapon landed with the tip first, wedged between two floorboards right in front of her.

She finally snapped back to reality when she heard the same laughter on the other line. Bringing the phone back to her ear.

"Hey," the raspy voice called out. "We're not finished yet dear."

"I'm not afraid of you like I have been at that time." Tea made half an attempt to taunt the caller.

"Really?" the caller oozed from the other line. "You seem so unsure. Brave little girls don't curl up on the floor trembling now do they?"

Tea's eyes widened. "You can see me?" her eyes began to dart around.

"I can see what I want to see." From above, she heard the door to her bedroom slam, footsteps softly creaking above her. "It's just too bad Yugi's gone. Shot twice I believe. Yami getting a bonus trip to the asylum. Marik getting the butcher knife..."

"If you don't leave this instant, I'll call the police. I swear..."

"They won't make it dear. We're all alone in this comfy house. Lots of places to hide, to find bodies..."

And at that, Tea slammed the phone down, breathing heavily. Her heart was beating rapidly, looking around. "Leave me alone! I know you're here...somewhere." Her hand frantically reached for the phone, dialing a few numbers.

"911 hotline," the monotone operator greeted her.

"Hello? Police? Somebody?" Tea shrieked. "There's somebody in my house. Someone...he's trying to kill me!!"

Ma'am, please calm down." the operator assured her. "Now all I need is your name and address."

"I..." from the corner of her eye, she saw a cloaked figure standing right at the doorway of the bedroom. With another dagger in its hand, the figure standing right at the doorway of the bathroom. With another dagger in its hand, the figure hurled another knife right at her.

A blood-curling scream filled the air as the phone dropped from her hand.
