Dangerous to Know


I was a law unto myself

He felt her pulse. It was faint. Almost non-existent.

When you found me out on my own

"No!" Yami shouted, tears in his eyes. "Please…please don't leave me Tea. I beg you…"

Ah, yes. The almighty ex-pharaoh was brought to tears by the woman he loved. But that woman had betrayed him…and yet, that same woman saved him from death. There he was, kneeling in front of her in the middle of an empty street in the rain. Quite sad. He brought her head to his lap and brushed the stray hair away from her face. Even when unconscious she still looked beautiful.

"Well…isn't this pathetic," came a familiar voice from under him. He blinked and looked down to find Tea smirking smugly although she still looked to be in great pain.

"Who knew the pharaoh was a sob-story," she said, rolling her eyes and raising an eyebrow.

Together nothing was sacred

"Are you alright?" Yami anxiously asked. But then he felt stupid. Of course she wasn't alright! She was struck by lightning three times!

"I'm fine thank you," Tea answered sarcastically, "Lightning doesn't hurt one bit! Damn my head hurts like hell!"

Together we were alone

Yami looked surprised. Since when did she curse? She seemed to read his mind for she said, "Puh-lease Pharaoh. You didn't think a 'friendship princess' could curse? There's a lot you don't know about me. You're lucky I'm temporarily paralyzed, otherwise I would have already taken your puzzle and you would be lying on the ground dead."

He tensed. He didn't expect that kind of answer. 'I suppose she really is evil,' thought Yami to himself, 'I guess I was wrong…'

"Hellooo! Earth to Pharaoh! It's not nice to stare you know."

"Did you really mean what you mean what you said?" asked Yami, ignoring her statement.

"You mean when I said that I was going to kill you and take your puzzle? Yeah I meant it. Every word. Now will you stop staring at me!"

Yami continued to stare at her. It was making her feel uncomfortable. It was as if his eyes were boring into her very soul. She decided to speak again, "Look, I know you feel betrayed and heart broken and stuff…but you've got to get over it."

"Betrayal is nothing to get over! We trusted you! I trusted you! You took that and threw it away! Why!"

Who needs all the questions?

"I was never who you thought I was," Tea answered almost emotionlessly. Almost. "It was all a façade to get the Millennium Items. Everything was a lie."

Both were silent. Tea was trying her best to appear to be emotionless. It certainly was hard work and it used up a lot of energy. Energy that was running out. The rain eased up a it. As if waiting for the right moment to downpour once again.

"That voice…who was it? What does he want? Why are you working for him?" Yami asked these questions in a tone that Tea had never heard him use before. She knew these questions were coming sooner or later so she answered, knowing that time was running out.

Who lost their direction?

"That voice was the sacred voice of my master. His name, I'm won't say. In due time you will find out. As for the second question, isn't it obvious? He wants the Millennium Items to conquer the world and restore it to the peace it once had. I don't work for him by the way. I belong to him. He owns me." She paused and then continued, "He was the one who created me. Using ancient magic older than the time of the creation of the Millennium Items, he created many servants (myself included) to help him rise to power. He has been waiting for the right moment to take over for quite some time. A millennia actually."

"So you're over a thousand years old?" asked Yami, stunned that she was actually older than him. She nodded and said, "I am. I'm just like a regular teenaged girl with only one major weakness. A weakness that would easily be the cause of my destruction in less than a second."

"What would that be?"

Who said a lie's gonna break you?

Tea shuddered. The outcome of her response was unknown to her and that was what scared her. The unknown. She closed her eyes so she couldn't see his facial expression and said, "Lightning"

When a lie could be dangerous
