A/N: I want to thank everyone who reviewed this story. I'm sorry, but I will be cutting this story short. It was actually supposed to go on for a couple of more chapter, but I have lost that "inspiration" to really give it my "all" when I am writing my fics. Please. Enjoy this chapter and the final chapter.

Chapter Six: Never Admit Defeat

"Weevil," Tea said as she put her hands on her knees for support, "what are you..?"

Weevil looked at her. "Run."

"Run? Why? Did Malik find out?" She asked as she reached to touch his shoulder.

He moved away violently and held his arm back as if he was trying to stop himself from attacking Tea. As he started backing away slowly, Tea only drew closer toward him. He clenched his teeth.

"Tea, RUN!" He yelled in a deeper voice. "I can't control him..."

Tea stopped. "Malik's controlling you?"

Weevil froze.

"Weevil?" Tea asked as she stepped forward.

He didn't move.

"Don't give in..."

She was about to touch him when he lifted his head to reveal a dark, impassive expression. Tea gasped and took a step backward, only to trip and fall on the hard sidewalk. She winced with pain and touched the side of her ankle, only to feel more pain. Her ankle was broken.

"Foolish human." Weevil said angrily. "You almost did Weevil's task for him."

Tea looked up, ignoring the pain of her ankle for the time being to think about what Weevil just said. Malik was controlling Weevil. Why would he do that? Wait....Malik must want Weevil to kill her. No, she wouldn't let Malik desecrate Weevil's body like so. She needed to get through to Weevil. But, how? Would he actually listen to her? Or was Malik's control to strong? She needed to try.

"Weevil," she paused, "you need to fight Malik."

Weevil ignored her. "Any last words?"

"You always said that you wanted to be your own person, not some puppet! Please Weevil, resist him!" Tears started to well up in Tea's eyes. "Weevil, it's time! You can't let him control you anymore!"

Weevil glared at her and slowly lunged for her throat.

"I believe in you, Weevil......"

He put his hands around her throat and clutched it tightly. She didn't make a sound, as if she was helping Weevil's fight by not giving in. As he continued to add pressure to her throat, a couple of her tears slid down her cheek and dripped onto his clasped hands. The tears were like a wake-up call to Weevil. He pulled his hands away from her throat and watched her faint into his arms.

"No...." He whispered as he checked for a pulse. "NOOOOO!"

He picked her up and cradled her in his arms before taking off toward some place he could hide. As he ran, with the unconscious Tea, he was a victim to the countless stares and evil gestures made by the people in his way. He didn't care. Tea needed medical attention now, even if it meant turning himself into the cops. I mean, he was the one whose face was plastered all around the city. There was no way of hiding from his crimes now. Especially since Malik was holding his millennium item now.

" Wait! There is a way to avoid the cops....."

~Meanwhile~

"Why don't we split up? I mean, NYC is a big place." Yami suggested as Kaiba sneered.

"Why would I look when I already know where she is?"

Yami signaled him to continue, not following his way of thinking.

"Technology, Yami." Kaiba said with a dignified tone. "With a simple analysis of the area, and the input of her features....that should narrow it down to about three spots. Take your pick."

Yami felt like mauling Kaiba at the moment, but he resisted the temptation. He needed to find Tea and, unfortunately for him, Kaiba was his only hope. He sighed and pointed to 44th street and 10th.

"Follow me." Kaiba said as Yami followed him slowly, whispering,

"Only for you, Tea."

As Yami looked around at the countless skyscrapers and people circling the vicinity, he almost walked right into Kaiba, who had stopped in front of him to check the street that they were on. Sure enough, it was 44th and 10th. Yami ran in front of Kaiba and looked around for his brown-haired beauty.

She was no where to be seen.

Yami clenched his fists and looked down at the pavement, as if it was going to give him an answer. Kaiba walked up from behind him and looked down at his electronic device, crossing out the street that they were on.

"Would you relax. There's still two other areas." Kaiba said as he walked off toward the intersection.

Yami looked up and followed Kaiba, hoping that the next area would hold Tea. As they walked off toward the next area, he noticed that Kaiba's tone had become more mellow.....as if he was really trying to make an effort to help him find Tea. He shrugged it off once Kaiba stopped him in the middle of the sidewalk forcefully and told him that this was the next location Tea was found.

Again, she was no where to be seen.

Yami was beginning to think that this was pointless, I mean.....he would rather rely on his own sense of direction than some stupid electronic device that could malfunction at any time pleasant to it, but not to the consumer. Besides, his heart didn't feel like it was going in the right direction.

"How accurate is this device anyway?" Yami asked with a hint of anger in his voice.

Kaiba turned around and looked at him. "It was made by myself, what do you think?"

"No comment." Yami answered with a smirk.

Kaiba glared at him, obviously insulted. "Do you want my help or not?"

"No, you're doing a fine job.....I mean.....no sign of Tea yet." Yami stated.

"This device only shows where she was last seen, Yami. I didn't want to tell you before, but now is as good a time as any." He sighed. "She's on the run. From what, I know not. But I do believe that when she stops, we should be able to track her down." He looked into Yami's eyes.

"What if we're too late? No.....I can't let that happen." Yami said as he took off in the opposite direction Kaiba's device said to go. Kaiba sighed and watched him go, knowing that this would indeed happen.

"Fool."

~Meanwhile~

"How long ago did she faint?"

Weevil looked at the young woman examining Tea carefully. "About 15 minutes ago."

"Hmmm...." The young woman stated as she turned Tea's head to look at her neck.

"Well?" He asked as she looked up at him.

"She didn't just faint, did she?" The young woman asked.

Weevil froze. "What do you mean by that?"

"I sense foul play.....just look at the marks on her neck...." She said sternly.

Weevil had to come clean. "Your brother is to blame, Isis."

She turned and looked at him. It wasn't often that people spoke of her brother, Malik. Most people didn't even know she had a brother. As she stared at the young boy, she only felt pity for him meeting her brother. She knew of Malik's tricks, but her power never matched her brother's millennium rod.

"Why does he want to cause harm to this girl?" Isis said as she looked back at Tea.

Weevil sighed. "Not exactly to her, it's really to cause pain to m-....another person."

"He's up to his old tricks again? I thought he would learn by now." Isis frowned.

Weevil shook his head, not knowing what to say in response. Isis stared back at Tea, nodding her head as she did so. Weevil only watched as she touched her hand on some of the markings he made around her neck. He closed his eyes and tried not to think about what happened before.

"She should be fine," Isis said as Weevil opened his eyes. "Nothing serious."

Weevil smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Isis."

Isis smiled and walked away from Tea's lifeless body. Weevil followed, taking quick glances over at Tea.

"Tell me, Weevil, is it?" She paused and waited for him to nod. "Why did you bring her to me?"

Weevil expected this question. "Malik used to tell me that when you two were in ancient Egypt, you acquired a healing power of some sort...but you rarely spoke of it...unless someone really needed your assistance." He looked at her. "I'm guessing that there is some truth to Malik, I mean, you can heal."

Isis sighed and said, "I'm surprised he even talks to me.....I was the one that turned my back on him when he wanted to see if he would become Pharaoh, using my necklace, after Yami was......assassinated."

"Yami was killed in Egypt? I thought that he-" Weevil stopped when Isis started to shake her head.

"It was planned that Yami was to be killed, but they killed his wife instead." She said firmly.

Weevil folded his arms and looked at her. "Yami had a wife?"

"I thought Malik would tell you that? Anzu Mazaki was his wife in ancient Egypt." Isis said.

Weevil translated the name in his brain to.......Tea Gardner.

"Tea was his wife?" He asked in a bewildered tone.

Isis cocked an eyebrow up. "You know of his future wife?"

Weevil gapped at her. "Yes......she's the one that Malik tried to-"

Weevil stopped not wanting Isis to know who Yami's wife would be.

"The girl? That's Anzu's reincarnation?" She asked as Weevil slowly nodded.

Isis looked over to Tea.

"Now I see the resemblance...." Isis frowned. "History always repeats itself...."

She sighed and was about to check on Tea again, but stopped.

Weevil gave her a concerned look. "Isis?"

"No...." She said as she turned and looked at Weevil.

"What's wrong?" He asked as she touched her glowing millennium item.

"Weevil...." She said slowly. "Malik is trying to make history repeat itself."

"How? I never heard of any plans to kill Yami?" He said softly.

Isis shook her head. "No....once he killed Tea in ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh could not bear to live anymore and became a weak Pharaoh. That's why he sealed himself away with the millennium items. But now, he wants to kill the girl and when Yami becomes overwhelmed with grief....he will snatch Yami's puzzle." Weevil listened, now starting to get how Malik was going to take Yami's puzzle.

It all came together. That's why he wanted to lure Tea to NY. He knew it was to get Yami's puzzle, but it was also to destroy Yami from the inside out. What better way to do so than to kill the one he loved?

As he continued to unravel the mystery of Malik's plans, Isis stopped his line of thinking by saying, "I can't let Malik get away with it a second time. I'm going to look for him."

Weevil stopped her. "What about Tea? I mean, if she dies....Malik will get away with it."

Isis looked at him. "She should wake up in a couple of hours. When she wakes up, tell her nothing. But make sure she stays here. I'm sure Malik will not try to come here. He knows better."

"I can't do that." Weevil said coldly. "I can't protect her."

"I don't understand." Isis said as he frowned.

"Malik may try to control me." Weevil said firmly.

Isis put a hand on his shoulder. "But you stopped him, didn't you?"

Weevil gasped. "How did you know? I never told you..."

Isis smiled. "I knew that he tried to control your body the minute you stepped inside this museum. When you are controlled, you are marked with an ancient symbol on your forehead. I saw it engraved on your forehead when you walked in, but the ancient symbol has been tampered with...meaning....you have tried to resist his power. I think Tea should be safe in your hands."

Weevil nodded, still shocked that she knew of his connection to Malik. Isis gave him an encouraging smile and then looked back toward Tea. It was time. She needed to face her brother, Malik, again.

"Malik will fall..." Isis whispered as she gave Weevil a quick nod and headed toward the door.

As she walked out the museum, there's one question going through Malik's mind.

"Will he?"
