Okay, here's the 5th chapter. I'm really happy with the way the story is turning out and I hope everyone else is too. If you have any ideas don't hesitate, I could really use the help. Oh and thanks to Princessyoukai I'm making this a Bakura/ Tea/Marik triangle. Anyway, I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or anything to do with it, except this story……..

To Love the Enemy: Chapter 5
Yami trudged along the sidewalk, on his way to the Game Shop. His head was bent down and his shoulders slumped as he walked, dragging his feet on the concrete. 'Damn that Bakura.' He took in a deep breath. 'Okay, no more of this, its time to find Tea,' he thought. Straightening his back he dashed home. As he entered the only thing he could hear was silence. One the kitchen table there was a note from Yugi.
Yami, we all went to Kaiba to ask for help. We'll be at Kaiba Corp.
Yugi.
Yami went back to the front door, put on his shoes on. As he walked out he noticed it was starting to get very dark out. Grey, heavy clouds were starting to form over the night sky as a light drizzle poured down. Grabbing a small, black umbrella from the closet inside the house Yami called a cab and made his way to Kaiba Corp.

Tea sat in her room on the bed. She dried her tears and laid sprawled out on the bed staring up at the white ceiling. It wasn't so bad for her, she was being treated better than she had expected. She wondered what had happened to Bakura, she hadn't seen him since he had first brought her to Marik. Suddenly there was a soft knock at the door.
"Miss Tea, I'm Kyla. Master Marik sent me to look after your needs."
"Umm……come in," Tea replied. The door opened to reveal a petite young lady with brown hair tied into a bun. She had soft eyes and a hearty smile which comforted Tea.
"I have some clothes for you," she brought a bundle of clothes and set them on the bed. "I hope they will suit your fancy."
"Thank you, um..Kyla, right? Has Marik told you anything?"
"Oh, the Master is quite taken with you I believe, I haven't heard much from him, I'm sorry," Kyla bowed, "Is there anything I can do for you Miss?"
"No, I'm fine. Thank you." Kyla bowed again, put Tea's clothes in a wardrobe and left. Silence filled the room again. Tea got up and took a pair of blue pajama bottoms and a white T-shirt and stepped into the bathroom. Stripping off her clothes and making sure the door was locked, she turned on the water for a shower. Her body soaked up the hot water as she lathered her hair with shampoo. Rinsing off the bubbles she turned the water off. Wrapping a towel around her body, Tea looked at herself in the mirror, she was a mess. After drying herself off she slipped on the pajamas an shirt. Slowly unlocking the door she stepped out and into the bedroom. Collapsing on the soft bed Tea fell asleep.

Marik sat on his throne in the living area. His body slumped in the chair and his hand resting under his chin, he sighed. What was this spell that girl had cast over him? She enticed him, she was drop dead gorgeous. She was so forgiving. Ha, she would never fall for him, would she? He still felt her full lips on his, long after that kiss, he wanted more. The more he tried to get her out of his head there she was again. He growled, 'damn that girl…' he thought.
The door opened and in came one of the rare hunters. He looked nervous in front of the prescence of his evil master.
"Bakura has arrived, Master Marik," The rare hunter spoke.
"Send him in," Bakura stepped in looking thoughtful and annoyed. "What is it?"
"Fucking Pharaoh, tried to get some information out of me."
"What? Do they know? I'm going to kill Malik,"
"I don't think they know, but isn't that part of the plan, I get the items, you get the girl." Or maybe I'll get both, Bakura thought.
"Yeah….After the Pharaoh and his cronies come along, we setting off."
"So, how is she?"
"………"
"What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything! I'm going out for a while, keep a watch on her, I'll be back tomorrow evening." Marik grabbed his coat and walked out into the night. Bakura grinned, maybe he could get some time alone with the girl.

"Okay, so if he still has the duel disk, you can locate him with this computer," Duke pointed to the computer in the center of the room. Everyone had crowded into a room and made themselves comfortable as Kaiba started up the computer. Serenity and Malik sat together, stealing glances at each other every now and then. Joey gave Malik a suspicious eye as he watched the two secretly flirt, he didn't like it one bit. Mai stood beside him and whispered in his ear.
"Leave them be, Joey, I think she's old enough to handle it," Mai patted Joey's back.
"I guess, but I'm goin' to be watchin him," Mai gave him a small peck on the cheek as a thank you, Joey blushed a little and turned away so the others couldn't see. "umm..Mai thanks for helping' us out, it means a lot to me."
"Anytime Joey, besides Tea's my friend," she gave him a wink.
Ryou, Duke and Honda all stood in the corner, listening to Honda talk about how bad he was going to beat Marik once he got hands on him.
"I hope Tea's holding up alright, I mean who knows what Marik's already done," Ryou stated, he had secretly crushed on Tea for awhile and was very worried about the young brunette.
"That jerk is going to pay if he laid one finger on her," Honda punched a fist into the palm of his other hand as he gritted his teeth. Duke glanced around the room as his eyes settled on Malik and Serenity, he growled, he would be having a little talk with Malik.
Yugi sat by Kaiba as he furiously typed away. He was lost in space 'Tea, hold on.' he thought. They had been best friends for a long time and it wouldn't be the same without her.
"Okay we're in," Kaiba typed in Marik Ishtar into the computer, as a loading screen came up. Everyone sat anxiously by the little machine as silence washed over the room. After a few moments Joey sighed.
"How long does this take, stupid piece of junk," Joey knocked on the computer as Kaiba gave him a warning glare. 50, 60, 75………100
A large map of Domino City came up on the screen. A little red dot beeped on and off at the Domino Harbor.
"Let's go," Honda said as everyone rushed out of the office. "Kaiba you comin' too,"
"No he isn't, Honda," Joey said a matter of factly.
"Don't be so sure Wheeler," Kaiba grabbed his coat, as he walked out he told the secretary to get someone to watch over Mokuba while he was gone. When the gang reached the front door they saw Yami just walk in.
"Yami, come on, we're going to the harbor," Yugi grabbed Yami by the sleeve and hopped into Mai's car, the others in Dukes and Kaiba in his small yet expensive convertible.
"Yugi, I ran into Bakura, I think he's in on the plan too," Yami explained, all the others in the car including Mai, Yugi, Duke and Joey all listened up.
"Bakura, what would he want?" Mai turned left.
"….The millennium items!" Yugi explained. "He's probably going to use Tea as a pawn."
"Don't worry Yugi, he won't get them, noyt as long as Joey's here!" Joey smirked as Mai gave him a bonk on the head. He let out a little owww in the process.

Tea slept peacefully on the bed, her head buried deep in the pillow. Twisting and turning she rolled onto her side. The door unlocked and in came Bakura as he tiptoed into the room, she looked so peaceful when she slept. He stood before staring for a few moments before she stirred. Her eyes opened as she looked around the room until she spotted Bakura she let out a scream but it was muffled out by Bakura's hand.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," He warned. "Now are you going to be quiet?" Tea shook her head up and down as her reply. Bakura slowly slid his hand off her mouth. Using his finger he lifted her chin up so he could get a good look at her. Tea tore her face away from Bakura's hand not daring to look at him. She had quite a bit of attitude, he liked that. 'My fiery little vixen,' he thought.
"What are you doing here?" she questioned bitterly.
"I came here to see you my dear," Bakura chuckled a little and sat down on the edge of the bed. Tea backed up all the way to the head boards as she glanced cautiously at the suspicious spirit. "I am not going to hurt you, nor do I have any intentions of doing so. I suppose Marik treated you well? Yes, of course."
"……." Tea was silent, she didn't know what he was up to and she didn't like it. She felt exposed under Bakura's gaze, but there was a strange kind of softness radiating from his mesmerizing brown eyes. It was strange, but it made Tea feel a little less wary of him.
"You're a very beautiful girl, the Pharaoh I must admit has good taste." Tea looked at him her brown locks swaying just above her shoulders. Bakura was immediately captured by this strange girl. "Would you like to go out on the deck, I must warn you, do not try to escape. There's no telling what may happen." Bakura held out his hand and Tea slowly took it. He walked her up the stairs and onto the deck. He checked to see that Marik was not back and that no one would see.
Tea walked up to the railing and held on to the metal bar. Why were they being so kind? She breathed deeply as she looked at the moon's reflection on the water. It was about 10 or so at night and the harbor was dark and quiet. She wondered about her friends and where they were , they would surely find her in a matter of time. Bakura walked up behind her and confidently wrapped his arms around her waist. Tea shuddered a bit, wondering about the spirit's strange behavior, but she kind of like the way he held her. After a moment or two she relaxed and leaned back into his chest. Bakura smirked, this girl was very trusting.
"Bakura, why are you doing this?" She asked.
"…..Neither Marik or the Pharaoh deserve you." he stated.
"Marik told me the exact same thing about Yami. But why? I feel safe here with you, yet I am betraying my friends. I have only been here one day and already I'm being treated like a princess. Am I not to be used as a pawn by you? What are you going to do with me next? Can I possibly fall for the enemy?" she paused. She was way too tired and had she just said that out loud? 'Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into?'
Bakura turned her over so she was facing him, he looked into her eyes and got lost into them. Bakura lowered his lips to hers but this time Tea returned the kiss. She was surprised by her own actions and she felt guilty, like she was betraying Marik, had he really meant what he said? He deepened the kiss and Tea replied with even more force. 'Wow, kissed by two men in the same day.' What was she doing, in the arms of what used to be her greatest enemy, she thought this over and over again.
Before she knew it she and Bakura were in her bedroom, as Bakura laid her on the bed she pulled him down with her.

Oohhhh! What will happen when Marik finds out? When will the gang arrive to take back their friend? Will Tea go with them? Who should she choose, Marik or Bakura? Tell me what you think!
