To Love the Enemy: Chapter 2
Tea stared cautiously at the albino as she stood up from where she had fallen. Rubbing the scratch that had formed on her elbow she backed away from him. 'What does he want with me.'
"What do you mean, you have business that involves me?" Tea inquired as to Bakura's unusual demeanor. She had always been a bit frightened of the spirit of the ring and she was absolutely terrified of being so close to him on a dark, empty street.
"I mean that your coming with me, foolish girl," Bakura slowly advanced on Tea as she took a few steps backwards. Finally, turning on her heel Tea took off down the sidewalk in an attempt to get away. Shivers went down her back as she took a corner and into a back alley. Tea waited as she breathed heavily, her heart beating quickly against her ribs. Maybe if she waited long enough she would lose him. After a few minutes Tea let out a sigh of relief as she stepped out of the alley.
"We can do this the hard way or we can do this the easy way, your choice," Bakura whispered in her ear as he slipped a hand over her mouth to prevent any noise. Hot tears started to roll down her cheeks as she was dragged away into the shadows.

Yami strolled down the street as he pondered over the weird feeling he had that something was wrong. He had these feelings before but this time it was different. He was going to visit Tea today and see if she maybe wanted to hang out, he had feelings for the beautiful brunette ever since he had met her and today he was going to tell her.
Stepping up onto the porch he rang the door bell, waiting nervously for someone to answer. As a few went by, Yami opened the door to the house. It looked like no one was home as Yami checked the home in and out. Getting worried Yami closed the door and that's when he spotted the shopping bags and purse near the house. He picked up the pink purse and noticing it to be Tea's. Yami looked around before deciding to call Yugi.
"Come on Yugi, pick up!" Yami whispered harshly into the phone.
"Hello?"
"Yugi, Tea's missing!"

On a yacht in the harbor of Domino City, lay Tea sleeping on the hard floor. She opened her eyes and squinted as they got used to the light coming in from the small windows. She was in a small room with two windows and a door, no furniture or anything. Tea sat up and rubbed eyes as she checked her surroundings.
She gasped as she remembered the events that unfolding the night before. Bakura chased after her and brought her here, then everything went black. 'Okay, I'm locked in a room, kidnapped by Bakura, and have no idea where I am. This is a good way to start the summer!'
There was a knock at the door, as the head of Bakura peeked in. He closed the door behind him before crossing his arms and leaning against the wall.
"Finally awake," Tea stood up.
"Yes, and what do want from me?" Bakura smirked.
"I plan on using you as a pawn to get the puzzle from your precious Pharaoh and finally dispose of him, as for Marik's plans, I'm afraid I can't say."
Tea shuddered at the name, she hadn't seen him since Battle City. What could he want from her?
"The others will be looking for me."
"Why are you so sure that they will come?"
"They will, and Yami will get rid of you."
Bakura stood straight quite confident that if the Pharaoh came looking for his woman he would also be the first to fall at his own hands, "Marik requests your presence."
"Well tell him I decline."
"That is not an option." Bakura picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. Being the stubborn girl she was Tea continuously pounded on his back. With a frustrated sigh, Bakura dropped the girl, and grabbing hold of her wrist he dragged her down the hall to a large wooden door.
As they entered Tea stumbled through the doorway and into the large living area. Black and red furniture scattered the room. She stubbornly sat down on the floor while crossing her arms. She didn't like the looks of things and she wasn't about to give in. Sure, she was more frightened than the time Bakura had trapped them in the duel as their favorite monsters but she had to be strong or else she knew she wouldn't last very long.
"Stay here wench," Bakura stepped through another doorway at the end of the room. She was the most stubborn person he had ever met, but she was beautiful, too bad Marik already had dibs on her.
As Bakura entered he spotted Marik sitting at the open window staring out at the sea. He looked thoughtful, as if trying to figure out something. Slowing turning around Marik glanced at the thief and stood up.
"Your wench is next door."
"Did you tell her of your plans already?" Marik poured himself a glass of vodka, gulping it down in a few seconds.
"Yes, she doesn't know of your plans and neither do I, what are you going to do with her?"
"……..I don't know. Keep her around for awhile."

At the Game Shop sat the whole gang excluding Mai who was on her way. They all sat around the kitchen wondering what to do. They had all received the news about Tea shortly after Yami had found her missing. Joey sat at the table eating some cookies from a bag.
"So, what's the plan? Tea's missing for God's sake and we are all standing here like a bunch of idiots!" Yami shouted. It was obvious that he was worried about Tea, and everyone knew he cared for her a lot.
"Okay once Mai gets here we'll think of something. In the mean time everyone just chill," Duke spoke as he inched closer to Serenity.
Malik stood quietly in the corner in the room. He had a feeling that Marik was up to something, maybe he had kidnapped Tea. Malik fought back and forth with his thoughts until he decided to tell the others.
"Umm…..guys?" Malik focused on the group as he spoke.
"What is it Malik?" came Ryou's British accent.
"For the past few days I've been having this weird feeling that something bad was going to happen, that Marik was up to something," He closed one eye and flinched not knowing how they would takes this information, especially Yami.
"You mean, you think he may be linked to Tea's disappearance?" Serenity said as she looked suspiciously into Malik's eyes.
At once Yami pounced on Malik, throwing him to the ground.
"You mean, you knew this all along and you never told anyone? What the hell, you bastard!" Yami threw his fist but is was caught in mid air as Joey and Honda held him back.
"Whoa take it easy, dude!" Honda pulled his friend off Malik. Yami huffed as he opened the door and slammed it closed as he took off down the street.
"You okay Malik?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. He needs to cool off for awhile." Malik took Honda's hand as he pulled him up from the ground.
"So, where do we find Marik?" Joey questioned as he sat back down, stuffing another cookie down his throat.

Tea checked her surrounding, taking in each detail. The room suited Marik well she had to admit. Sighing Tea felt tears rise to her eyes again as she wiped them clean. 'No I have to be strong for everyone.' She was lonely and missed her friends. She hoped they would find her soon.
Suddenly she heard voices coming from the doorway as Bakura and Marik entered. Marik paused for a moment staring at the girl sitting on the floor. She shuddered as his gaze burned through her body. Tea stared straight ahead not knowing what was to happen next.
"I be back Marik. I have errands to run." And with that Bakura was gone leaving only Tea and her worst nightmare.
"Your probably wondering why you're here?" Marik tilted his head at her waiting for a reply. There was only silence from Tea.
"Are you going to even talk to me?" he pushed.
Silence again. Marik smirked.
"Well, my dear, you are more stubborn than Bakura led on."
Tea sprouted up from the floor and slapped Marik full force across the cheek, hot tears ran down her cheeks as she glared at the enemy. A small chuckle emerged from Marik as he clutched his tanned cheek.
"What do you want from me, just leave me be!" Tea yelled at the Egyptian as she started to walk away from him.
Marik grabbed her wrist before she got two steps and pinned her to the wall.
"Your going to be harder to break than I thought." Marik whispered in her ear as he licked her cheek. Kissing the nape of her neck Marik roughly shoved her aside. "Be good while I'm gone." With that Marik left her in the dark room, leaving her with nothing but false hope.
