Tea stirred under the comfort of sweet blissful soft cushions, below her aching body. 'Where am I? What am I doing here?'
She tried to focus her eyes but everything blurred before her, and the harder she tried to focus the more her head ached. She let out a soft moan. Yugi was in his tiny little bucolic kitchen, just about putting the peanut butter back in the cupboard when her heard the frightened thing cry. Like a mother to her child Yugi immediately went over to see how she was doing.
"Hey are you okay?" Yugi eagerly asked, with many questions already spinning in his head. He wanted to ask the brunette so much. He already had an idea of what happened to her in his head, but he needed to hear it from her. He looked at her with such pity and disbelief. He stretched out a gentle hand to brush some hair out of her face. Tea flinched and gasped as this stranger touched her. 'Oh my god did Shark put me onto this guy now, oh why so soon. I don't wanna do this. I don't wanna do it'
"Relax, Relax" Yugi said trying to calm her down, as she slapped his hand away and squirmed about uncomfortably, trying to sit up.
"Hey maybe you should freshen up, I'll show you to the bath Tea"
'Tea. Who is Tea. No one hasn't called me that in a long time, who is he? I don't remember'
She obediently eased herself up with the aid of the little stranger, who lead her to a bathroom. It had lovely purple striped wallpaper, infact the theme of the bathroom was purple. Purple shower curtains, with spots all over it. Purple hand towels hung on the poles, there were even a fake bouquet of purple and white flowers. She struggled to keep her balance, but surprisingly she managed to stand up.
"Here you go, I hope you are strong enough to well.." Yugi bent his head down trying to hide his embarrassment of having a lady stranger, about to take a shower in his apartment.
Tea nodded silently and took the towels from Yugi. He gave her a weak smile and left closing the door behind him. What kind of man was this? Maybe he was just freshening her up so he could do her afterwards. Tea was so weak her knees buckled and she felt herself fall to the ground. Determined to keep her strength she grasp hold of the tub, that's when she felt the warm soothing touch of warm water. She bent her head over to take a look, that's when she realized the stranger had fixed her a bubble bath. 'I don't get it?'
Yugi was deep into his Egypt assignments. He was to write an Essay about who he thought was the greatest Pharaoh in all of Egypt and why? He chuckled to himself as he thought about his Yami. He knew a great Pharaoh himself, infact he could even interview Yami. 'Ah who am I kidding' Yugi smiled to himself. Then the bathroom door suddenly opened and his guest exited the bath, with the lovely scents of lavender lingering in the air.
"I'm done" Tea muttered below her breath.
'What is he going to do to me' she thought fearfully. Tea tightened her grip on the towel that was concealing her body.
"Oh yes I forgot" Yugi suddenly jumped up.
Tea flinched a bit and started to whimper a bit.
'Oh something bad must have happened to Tea she looks scared. I really don't mean to frighten her' Yugi thought.
"Uh.. um I need to get you something to wear. Um. Come here"
Tea followed obediently. Though he was a bit older Yugi truly hadn't gained much height (why are we not surprised) so all of his clothes were short and small. Then he found his over-grown shirt, that his grandpa bought for him by mistake, and a pair of sweat pants he never used. He gave them to her to change.
"Now that you have freshened up, you should get some rest. Oh but you have many bruises I should attend to, if not they can get infected." Yugi's expression changed to one of concerned. Tea still silently nodded and she released the towel that covered her.
"ACK No no, no, no" Yugi flew backwards covering his eyes in embarrassment.
Tea looked confused.
"Yo..you d.d.don't have to expose your whole body! I enough so I can see some of ur.w.w.wo.wo.wounds"
'What why is he acting so weird? He's embarrassed to see a naked woman? Maybe this isn't one of Sharks clients'
"P.pleased put the towel back on" Yugi knelt over on the ground covering his eyes
"ok.." she finally spoke.
Yugi looked up and saw that she was sitting on the bed with the towel covering all the unnecessary parts, and her back and sides was what he saw .He breathed a sigh of relief. Her back, was a bit blue in some areas and had some thin cuts. Tea began to tremble a bit. She didn't know why, was it fear? Shame?
"It looks a bit bad I'll put some cream on it for you"
After Yugi had rubbed some ointment on Tea's physical wounds, he left the room so he could give her privacy to put on her clothes. Tea quietly slipped into the cotton comforts, like a robot, no feeling no thoughts, nothing whatsoever.
"Are you done?" Yugi called from behind the close door.
"Yes" he heard a tiny voice call.
He slowly opened the door hesitant; to make sure she was decent.
"You better get some rest no Tea. You'll feel better tomorrow morning." Yugi lead her to the bed, and covered her up. Tea immediately began to feel herself becoming one with the soft bed sheets, melting into sleep. 'This is weird, usually†Sharks clients would sleep.. in the same bed.. with me..' she distantly thought, as she drifted off to sleep.
'Well she's looking a lot better off than she was when I found her' Yugi gave a slightly please smile at the brunette. 'I hate to think the worst but I think she may have been abused, or maybe even raped. 'Oh Tea what had happened to you? I don't want you to be afraid of me? Don't your remember me'
