A/N: Gosh, things are heating up. Now some of the reader approves TeaxMalik! Some want triangle and some (gasp) re… rectangle! HMMMMM… No No No! I know those "HMMM" of mine! I'm already getting the idea (gosh I hate myself for that). Well you never know.

Chapter 12

New beginning

Previously

Tea meets Kaiba. Mrs. Gardner wants Tea to marry Kaiba. Mr. Gardner hates Kaiba and wants his only daughter to marry Malik. Now Tea does not understand herself. What is going to happen to her? What about Pegasus?

New day, new adventures. Tea was taking a shower.

"Someone up there really hates me. What should I do now? Entire my life I was dreaming about Malik and me being together and now… What I am going to do?" Tea thought.

After some time she went downstairs.

"And that's final!" She heard her father's voice."

"Must be still arguing about Kaiba." Tea sighed and went too the kitchen.

"God morning Tea." Mr. Gardner smiled.

"Good morning daddy, mom." Tea looked at her mother who was not happy at all. "What were you arguing about?" Tea asked.

"About you and Kaiba." Tea sweat dropped. "Me and Kaiba?"

"Yes, your mother wants you to be with Kaiba. But hear me Tea. Stay away from him." Mr. Gardner said, his eyes getting darker. Tea gulped.

"Yes father." That was all she managed to say.

"Ok, I am off to work." He smiled and exited the house.

"I still don't understand why your father hates Kaiba. He's such a nice boy." Tea's mother sighed.

"If you only knew…" Tea thought, but nodded.

"Well today he's coming to pick you up at 11am, so be ready." Mrs. Gardner said.

"What? How do you know that?" Tea asked shocked. "And what about father?"

"He called few hours ago and asked you. And what father doesn't know, that doesn't hurt him." Mrs. Gardner winked. Tea paled.

"What? How could you! I never said I liked Kaiba, in the first place! How could you do this to me!" Tea shouted and ran upstairs into her room. It is over. Her life is ruined.

"How could she do this to me? Why mom is so selfish? Why she can't understand me?" Tea cried.

In the kitchen sat Tea's mother.

"Maybe I am doing a mistake? Maybe she really does not like Kaiba. Well, after today everything will clear out." Mrs. Gardner nodded to herself.

After some time

"Daddy? It's me, Tea. Ok. No, I mean yes, I am. Because mom is going to let me to a date with Kaiba. Yes. I understood, but mom… At 11 am. Ok. Ok I won't. Ok. See ya." Tea hung up the phone. "This means war mom. I am NOT dating Kaiba!" Tea lay down on her bed. "Now I need to wait for 11 pm. Just wait Kaiba. You can't imagine what my father could do." Tea smiled. "I hope I'll get rid of him once and for all."

It was already 11am and Tea was waiting.

"Where are you daddy?"

"Tea, Kaiba is waiting for you." Mrs. Gardner said.

"Tell him to go to Hell!" Tea shouted back. Father!

"I will call him up here." With that, Tea's mother went downstairs.

"What? Kaiba? Here! Mom! Don't do that!" Tea ran and opened the door only to see Kaiba standing there.

"Don't do what?" Kaiba smirked and Tea paled.

"What are you doing here Kaiba?" Tea asked after regaining ability to speak.

"I came here to take you to a date. Remember?" Seto said and grabber her arm.

"Let me go Kaiba!" Tea demanded trying to get her arm away. However, it was no use. Kaiba pulled her to his chest and took her bridal stile. "Put me down! Kaiba, that's an order!" However, Kaiba did not listen to her. He just smirked.

"No one will help you my pretty." Kaiba whispered.

"Mom, help!" Tea begged, but her mother just said:

"How romantic. Kidnapping future wife. How romantic." Tea was shocked.

"This is not happening, it's just a dream!" Tea thought. "Daddy where are you?"

As Mrs. Gardner opened the door to let Kaiba out, they saw Mr. Gardner standing there.

"Let her go Kaiba." Mr. Gardner said.

"And if not." Kaiba asked. "What would you do?"

"I would kill you Kaiba." A voice said. Everyone looked confused.

"Who said that?" Kaiba demanded.

"I did." The same voice said. And out of the shadows stepped Malik. "Let her go Kaiba, or you will be a goner." Malik stated. His sandy hair was covering his eyes.

Kaiba didn't like the guy. He put down Tea.

"I'll be back, and you can count on that. No one will save you."

"England is a big country!" Tea shouted back as Kaiba was walking to his limo. After few minutes, Kaiba was gone. Gardner yard was filled with awkwardness. No one said anything. Tea looked at Malik and to her father. Malik looked at Tea and at her father.

"I think I'll leave you two." Mr. Gardner said and went into the house.

"Come with me." Malik said and took her hand. Tea didn't say anything but didn't refuse. She was confused and wanted to find out everything. She had a feeling that they were going to a very familiar place.

A/N: Ok, that's enough for today. Just kidding, just kidding. (Dodges away sharp objects.) Don't kill me people! I need fiction to finish! (Everyone puts down sharp objects.) That's better. Now on with a story!

Walking through the snow Tea started to shiver. She was only with her sweater. She didn't have shoes so she was soaked.

Malik was deep in his thought when he felt Tea's hand getting cold. He stopped and Tea almost bumped into him.

"You are barefoot. Let me help." Before Tea had a chance to respond, he picked her up and carried her rest of the way.

Soon their journey ended.

"Malik, is this… That house?" Tea asked not sure. Malik just smiled. He carried her upstairs and kicked the door to open them. Yes, that was the place Tea was thinking about. It was a room, Malik made for her. The childish room.

Malik put Tea down on the bed that stood there. Everything was dusty, but Tea didn't mind it though. She took the dusty blanket and covered herself. Malik light on a fire. Just now Tea saw a fireplace.

"Malik…" Tea started.

"You father came and took me out of jail. Too bad, he could do that for one day. So tomorrow, I am going back…" Malik trailed off.

"Malik, I…" Tea didn't know what to say.

"I was surprised myself…"

Flashback

"So, you're saying that woman and you were friends since childhood?" Bakura asked.

"Yes."

"And you love her." Malik blushed, but said nothing.

"I knew it. Don't you think she has another man? I mean she was in England she may have few hundred men chasing after her…"

"Shut the hell up!" Malik grabbed Bakura by his collar. "Tea belongs to me and NO ONE will have her, understood!" Bakura gulped and nodded.

"Silence! Malik you are free for today." A police officer said. Three men looked at each other. Malik let Bakura go and went with a police officer.

"Who paid for my…" Malik trailed off seeing Mr. Gardner waiting for him.

"This is Malik."

"Yes I know." Mr. Gardner cut off police officer.

"You should bring him back till tomorrow 10pm." Mr. Gardner nodded.

"I need you to save my daughter." Mr. Gardner began. "Seto Kaiba wants her for his own goals. I donno what happened there in England, but I do want you to be near her."

"I understand, but…"

"I know you are wondering, why you." Malik nodded. "You were everything to Tea. I made you what you are now. I was angry, but not at you. I was angry with myself. You gave Tea so much, though you had nothing yourself. There were times I asked myself, why you were doing this and only one logical answer came to my head. Therefore, I decided to send her away. I decided to separate you… I am sorry." Mr. Gardner opened the door and they both got into the car. "Remember the day you came asking me to go to Tea's performance. You were 12 then. And three years later, you demanded me to watch her dance… I was there. I saw every dance she danced." The man sighed.

"I had no idea. If I knew I wouldn't…" Malik began, but once more Mr. Gardner cut him off.

"You couldn't know. I made a mistake and now my daughter is suffering. Will you help me?"

"Yes. I will do anything for Tea." Old man smiled. He recalled 15-year-old boy in his office demanding to let Tea dance, he recalled Tea's face when she was told she'd leave. He remembered times, when these two played together. When Malik broke his leg so he could be with Tea. Mr. Gardner remembered everything and a single tear found it's was down his cheek. He was so wrong about the boy. He was too blind and selfish to admit it to himself.

End of the Flashback

"Your father asked me to help you. He knew I could do anything for you." Tea was speechless. Her father took Malik away from jail just to save her. That was unbelievable.

Malik sat on the bed near Tea. He couldn't believe he was free. Malik looked at the woman beside him. She was trying to absorb entire information into her.

"Only one day." Malik's mind repeated. "You have only this night and then back to jail. You don't know when you are going to see her again. Do not hesitate!"

Tea looked up at Malik. He was sitting and looking at her. She felt a bit uncomfortable. His purple eyes were showing all emotions he was holding.

"Just one night. Only this night. And you'll be behind bars for the rest of your life." Malik's mind kept repeating. "Just this night." Malik said almost audible and caught her lips into a longing kiss.

Kaiba residence

Kaiba entered his room and slammed the door shut.

"What the hell! Who is that blond guy?" Kaiba thought. I need to get rid of them, both. Tea's father and that friend are in my way… Not for long…" Smirk appeared on Kaiba's face. He picked up the phone. "Yes. Kaiba here. Seto you moron! Whatever. Shut the hell up! I have a job for you, damn it! Yes. Mr. Gardner. Yes, you heard me right. Yes, that's him. YES God damn it! I kneed him dead. Don't touch Tea nor Mrs. Gardner. Because they need to stay alive! I hope. Yes, whatever." Seto hung up. "Now my dear Tea, you will belong to ME."

A/N: End of the chapter! Oh MAN! Things are getting nasty! Wow, never imagined it would turn out this way. GASP… anyway; let me know what you think. You can tell me the couple you support. If there will be a lot of people supporting MalikxTeaxSetoxPegasus I may make it. Oh and I will not be updating till mid June. Don't worry, I have exams to pass v.v
