To Love the Enemy: Chapter 4
"Bakura, where is she?" Yami threatened Bakura again as the two stood in the alley. It was obvious that Yami was angry and Bakura's smirks and chuckles were not helping the matter.
"I'm afraid I can't release that information Pharoah," he sneered. They would never find her, not once the three of them set sail and left this city and its losers behind, that was Marik's plan anyway, but it would only work if he got the girl to love him and when Bakura got his millennium items. 'The fool, he has know idea what's going to happen…..'
"I will find out, whether you tell me or not. Now I'll ask again, where is she?"
"Awwww……has the Pharoah lost his woman? I can see why you had such interest in her, she's very beautiful. Too bad I don't have her for myself." Bakura tortured Yami verbally. Yami's eyes narrowed as he glared viciously at the tomb robber. With a growl Yami leaped at him again but this time Bakura side stepped, tripping Yami in the process. With a loud thud Yami fell to the dirty ground. "If you don't hurry Pharoah, you may never see your woman again…." And with that Bakura disappeared in the alley, his soft chuckle ringing throughout the alley.
Dusting himself off Yami felt the presence of a few scrapes on his cheek where he had fallen. His hands balled into fists Yami cried out, kicking the brick wall in the process. Would he ever see her again? He had to find her.

Kaiba sat in his office typing quickly as he stared at the computer screen. The office was quite simple, a black leather chair at one end of the room and two wooden chairs in front of his desk. Piles of papers lay on his desk as he worked trying to finish a report on his newest invention. A small beep came from his phone beside the computer.
"Yes?" he said, no expression in his voice.
"Mr. Kaiba there is a Yugi Motou here to see you sir. Shall I send him up?" the secretary questioned.
'Yugi, what would he want. If he has that mutt with him, I should just send them home.' Kaiba sighed as he stopped typing to rub his temples.
"Yes send them up….." he said reluctantly. A few minutes later the door opened and in came the group. 'Great…..' he thought as he took a few aspirin.
"What do you want?" Kaiba asked as he swallowed the pills with water.
"Thanks for seeing us Kaiba, we need your help." Yugi spoke. A grin appeared on Kaiba's face.
"You want my help? What makes you think that I'm going to help you?"
"I knew this was a waste of time. This stubborn ass doesn't care for anyone but himself." Joey spat as he crossed his arms.
"Watch it Wheeler….." Kaiba warned him. "I never said I wasn't going to help you, there is just a very good chance I won't."
"Please Kaiba, we really could use your help," Serenity pleaded the young CEO. He stared amusingly at the group all of them looking very gloomy, but he noticed someone missing.
"Where's Gardener? Isn't she usually with you or did she just get annoyed with the bunch of you?"
"That is why we're here." stated Duke. He and Honda kept a close eye on Joey, just to make sure he didn't do anything stupid. Ryou sat down on the couch watching what the outcome of this would be. He didn't think Kaiba would help but maybe Mokuba had softened him up a bit.
"She's missing. We think Marik has her and we were wondering if you could locate him?" Malik asked. He was quite ashamed at what his yami had done. He felt very guilty as if he could have prevented it somehow.
"How the hell did he kidnap her? What is he going to do with her?" Kaiba inquired. Everyone just shook their heads.
"Kaiba have a heart, please do this for Tea's sake," Mai told Kaiba. He looked thoughtful for a moment. Tea had saved his brother on many occasions, maybe this was how he could repay her. He didn't like working with the mutt, and he wasn't going to guarantee anything, but it was worth a try.
"Alright, but only to repay you all those times you've helped Mokuba. And I'll do it on one condition: keep the mutt away from, or he might get himself hurt." He stated. Joey would have leaped at the rich boy if it wasn't for Duke and Honda holding him back. He hated Kaiba with a burning passion but was thankful he was willing to help.
"Thank you Kaiba, it means a lot to us, even Joey, even though he might not like to admit it." Yugi thanked Kaiba.
"Whatever. So your assuming that he still has his duel disk?"
"Yes." Malik looked at Serenity who was sitting on one of the wooden chairs. She stared out into space, her eyes watering. He stepped up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and gave him a weak smile and turned back to staring out the window.
"Well, that's get to work."

Tea sat on the opposite side of the table watching the food that had been placed in front of her. Why was Marik being so kind to her? She picked slowly at the food before placing some in her mouth. She had to admit the food was good, but it scared her the way Marik was looking at her. His purple eyes piercing her skin.
"What are you going to do with me?" she asked him.
A little taken back by the question Marik thought for awhile. He wasn't quite sure what he was even going to do with her himself. He couldn't just keep her here till she wasted away. He would make her his.
"……You'll find out soon enough." he replied.
Tea slumped back in her chair. The others would be worried about her and she wondered if they were looking for her or not. Of course they would be. Sighing in confusion and anger of what was to happen to her, Tea looked at Marik who had shoved his plate aside. Two servants came in carrying away the plates.
"Come." Marik spoke as he grabbed the girls arm and leading down the hall to a room. As he opened the door he lead Tea into a large bedroom. There was a double sized canopy bed and a white couch with a oak coffee table in front of it. Tea stared in awe at the gorgeous room. She stepped in and noticed an full bathroom in the corner of the room.
"This is where you will stay. The doors will be locked at all times, so don't try anything." he stated.
"Why are you being so kind to me, Marik? I thought you would be the one to want to hurt me the most."
"…..I want you Tea.." He couldn't believe he was saying this but it was the truth and she probably wouldn't take it too well. She was probably frightened of him at how he had acted earlier in the day. His dreams and visions of this girl had gotten worse each day, it was taken control of him.
"What?" Tea stared unbelievably at the man in front of her. She barley knew him and he was her best friends worst enemy. She was scared of him but he had been kind with the exception of earlier. She had to admit he was very gorgeous, but could she ever learn to love him?
"You heard me, ever since the finals. The Pharoah doesn't deserve you. I just want you."
"Marik….I-" Tea glanced at the floor and back at the young man. She felt so sorry for him. He had hurt her friends and tried to take over the world, but he had had it very rough. Could she find it in her heart to forgive him? "I….I don't know….., what do you want me to say?"
"Anything…." With that his lips crashed down on hers. Her eyes widened. What should she do? Tea didn't respond to the kiss as her eyes watered a bit. She couldn't betray her friends, could she? She didn't want to hurt them, maybe she could tame Marik's evil antics maybe…..There were a lot of maybes involved in her current situation.
Marik ended the kiss and looked into the face of an angel. He put his finger under her chin and lifted her face to look at him.
"Tea?"
"Marik, I don't want to hurt my friends, but……but.." she hiccupped as Marik used his thumb to wipe her eyes dry.
"Go to sleep." He told her as he walked out the room closing and locking the door behind him. He looked hurt and angry as he walked out of the room. All she thought about were her friends, he would have to dispose of them.
As soon as the door closed Tea slid down to her knees and broke into tears. She felt helpless. What was a girl to do?

What is Tea going to do? And will her friends ever see her again? I think this chapter was a little longer than the others. Oh, and I hope Marik didn't sound too out of character, it's kinda hard to keep them in character, but this is my first story, practice makes perfect! Anyway, tell me what you think and until next time……
