Disclaimer: I don't own YGO or Nightmare by DarkShadowFlame.

Yay! Aren't you guys so happy? I finally updated this fic! Spring break's coming to an end, but luckily I've had time to work on my fics. Beneath the Desert Sands II has also been updated so far.

DarkShadowFlame: Yeah… I couldn't think of a title so I was like 'hmm, maybe this will work although it might give them the wrong impression…' lol. Ryou is cute, but never fear, Tea won't fall for that (no matter how much Bakura begs ;D). Lol. Hmm… thanks for giving me idea about the purse-thing for later on in the story…lol.

Summary: It's been three months since Tea's "nightmare" ended. But the worst is yet to come: Bakura has gathered up five of the seven Millennium Items, and Marik still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Tea and the gang are once again cast into unwavering fear; however, they're not about to give up a fight they can't afford to lose.

SetoxTea (some MokubaxSerenity and MaixJoey)

This fic is dedicated to DarkShadowFlame, whose original fanfiction inspired this one.

Chapter Four – A Little Mischief Never Hurt Anyone, Right?

"Breaking News Story, folks! Seto Kaiba dumped his girlfriend, Tea Gardner, yesterday! Tea becomes the first girl ever to be dumped by the CEO of Kaiba; too bad, she could've made some serious dough… Anyway, Mr. Kaiba is currently on a vacation in the Carpathian Mountains, far away from the press unfortunately… Also, several bed sheets have been stolen from the supermarket, coincidentally on the same day that rod of salami disappeared out of the local deli…"

¡click! Yugi turned off the TV.

"Salami," Joey said, drooling on Tea's pillow.

"Hey!" she said. "No drool on the new pillow!"

"Sorry."

Joey, Tea, Yugi, and Tristan were sitting on Tea's couch. She'd stopped crying a long time ago, but the scars would be there forever. She missed Kaiba so much; why did he have to dump her? She still didn't understand that part. They'd been through so much together, the good and the bad. Tea had thought that he'd actually changed…

"What a load of bull that turned out to be," she muttered.

"Huh?"

"Nothing, Yugi…"

"So, Tea, whatcha say to my proposal?" Joey asked out of the blue.

"You proposed to her?" Tristan asked, shocked.

"Oh yes," Tea said sarcastically. "Let me tell you about it…"

Tristan's eyes widened as he fainted. Yugi felt a drop of sweat fall from his head as Joey heaved Tristan up onto the couch.

"What proposal?" Tea asked.

"I didn't tell ya?"

"Apparently not…"

"Okay then," he said, clapping his hands together. "Here's tha scoop: Mai invited me on dis five day cruise and I really wanna go. So… canyapleasewatchserenitywhileiamoutonmyboathavinfun?"

"Huh?"

"Can ya please watch Serenity while I'm out on my boat havin' fun?" he asked more slowly.

"Uhh… suure… why not?" she said agreeingly.

"Uhh… maybe cuz Mokuba's with her, too, and he'd hafta stay here too…"

Tea frowned at Joey, who smiled sheepishly. She sighed. She supposed that one of them could sleep on the couch, and the other could sleep on the floor of her bedroom…

"All right, Joey, I can watch Serenity and Mokuba… but why Mokuba? Doesn't he have his own house?"

"He told Serenity that he couldn't get in after his brother left… something about the access code getting changed or something…"

"This is more like it."

Marik looked around the Kaiba manor. Bakura tapped his feet in annoyance.

"Why here?" he asked.

"Because," Marik replied evilly, "this is Kaiba's home… I bet I can find lots of dirt on him…"

"You really are a child," his companion said. "Although this is better than the warehouse…"

"And isn't it just nice that Kaiba's basement has a room with no windows that can only be accessed from the outside? Poor Seto Kaiba, locked up in his own home. We just have to make sure Kaiba Jr. doesn't show up…"

"He won't. I overheard him tell his girlfriend he couldn't get in."

"Good… good… Why are you still tapping your foot?"

"I have somewhere to be," the spirit replied.

"With her?"

"Possibly."

"If you steal Tea away from me, tombrobber, mark my words: you will die!"

"At least I don't go around stealing bed sheets and sausage!"

"Heh, heh… I was hungry…"

Seto Kaiba looked around the isolated room. Why did he ever build this? He cursed himself for following Ryou. Stupid Bakura, he thought.

"I hope he didn't do anything to Tea…"

¡dingdong!

Tea stuck her head out into the hallway.

"Mokuba! Could you get that? Please?"

The young boy trudged over to the door and looked through the peephole. He sighed, unlocked the door, and opened it.

"Hullo Ryou," he said glumly.

"What's wrong, mate?"

"I was hoping you'd be my brother… I can't get into my house until he comes back home."

"Oh."

"Hello Ryou," Tea said, coming into the living room. "What's up?"

"Well, my dad and I have reservations at this restaurant, but his flight was held because of a storm so now he can't go. Tristan's not answering his phone, Joey's gone, and Yugi is busy. I was wondering if you wanted to go…"

"I'm sorry… I can't go. I have to baby-sit Mokuba and Serenity."

"I'm no baby," Mokuba pouted. Ryou laughed, but inside Bakura was furious.

'Marik… this is his entire fault! Now I can't lure Tea into my trap…'

"Well, Serenity and Mokuba can come with us," Ryou offered.

'What the hell! I don't want those brats coming along! How the hell did Ryou manage to talk! I'm in control now!'

"Well, okay…"

"Great! Let's go!"

As they were leaving, Serenity heard a malevolent laugh fill the air. However, no one else seemed to notice. Then, very softly, she heard the laugh die down into words.

"Marik, you old dog, you have no idea what's in store for you… MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Yay! Chappie four is done! So, too bad for Bakura that Serenity and Mokuba are coming! And what was that voice that Serenity heard? Find out in chapter five when someone discovers what Marik's planning!
