Revenge In Its Sweetest
Form
Ishizu and Rishid stood in front of Yugi, both soaking
wet from the rain. Both exchanged strange glances with each other before
stepping in.
"You two..." Yami
pointed to both of them. "What do you want?"
"Well," Ishizu made
a nervous glance towards the window. "I believe we all know
something."
"The millennium
bracelet?" Yami arched an eyebrow.
"So you have seen it on
Anzu's wrist as well?" Rishid sat on the counter.
Yami ran his tongue over his
lips. "But how could that be? The owner...I mean...Tea...the sorceress is
something of pure evil."
"That's not the only evil
thing running loose around here." Rishid stuffed his hands in his pockets.
"Rishid!" Ishizu
clamped her hand over Rishid's mouth, trying to silence him.
"What else is going
on?" Yami was eying Ishizu more than Rishid. The air in the store became
quite uncomfortable.
Ishizu noticed this, a cold
chill went up her spine. "My...my dear pharaoh, why are you looking at me
like that?"
"All my friends have been
hiding something from me. I can sense it. What they're hiding is what I don't
know."
"What you don't know
won't hurt you." said Rishid.
"Rishid don't!"
Ishizu hissed. She knew that such news as Marik coming back, Joey's deal with
him only to end up having his sister brainwashed and the fact that Tea had
fallen in love with Bakura would deeply upset Yami. She was well aware that
Yami had a crush on Tea.
"You do realize that
you'll only the upset the pharaoh even more." Shadi entered the store, an
umbrella in his hand.
Yami was getting more upset.
"What the hell is going on?!? I demand you tell me this instant!"
Shadi placed his hand on
Yami's shoulder, looking down on him. "My pharaoh, you have to calm down
if you wish to know."
"Even if I do calm down,
I wouldn't get anything." Yami snapped.
Rishid removed Ishizu's hand
from his mouth. "People who we thought disappeared into the Shadow Realm
are back for something beyond taking over the world or revenge on you."
"You promised you
wouldn't say anything Rishid!" Ishizu was ready to attack Rishid but Shadi
pulled her back, restraining her.
"If you don't control
yourself, I'll let you two settle your differences outside in the rain."
Shadi rested his head on hers.
"All right! All right
already!" Ishizu struggled against Shadi's hold but his arms held tight.
"The reason we don't want
to talk about this is mainly because we are all concerned of your sanity."
Rishid brushed some dust off his cloak. "I mean, I wouldn't usually care
about the sake of the pharaoh since I sided with Marik..."
"Will you just get to the
point?!?" Yami was ready to slap Rishid if he didn't start talking.
"How about letting me
finish?" Rishid was the least bit intimidated. "Anywho, for starters,
Bakura, by some miracle, is no longer in the Shadow Realm. I'm not sure how he
got out but he did. It was him who had found the millennium bracelet and had
given it to Tea. It seemed as an innocent gift but it turned out to be
something far more. You see, Tea and Bakura re going out..."
"Say what?!?" Yami
couldn't believe what Rishid was saying. He then got an umbrella, heading out
the door. "Looks like the spirit of the millennium ring and I need a
little talk."
"Yami wait!" Ishizu
called out. But it was too late. Yami was long gone.
"He didn't bother to
stick around to hear Marik's story." Rishid shook his head, chuckling.
"You think we should stop him."
"It's not our
problem." Shadi looked out the window. "It's his now."
With a single umbrella being
shared, Bakura and Tea were slowly walking down the streets. His hand was on
Tea's shoulder where Rishid had "burned" her.
"I know it still hurts
Tea," Bakura whispered in her ear. "And maybe it's something I should
not have done but it's not like I had da choice."
Tea remained silent as they
continued walking. They finally reached her house, standing on the steps.
Bakura dropped his umbrella pulling Tea close to him.
"I have to go, all
right?" he kissed her on the head. "I'll see you tonight." he
then released her and picked up his umbrella, turned around and left Tea
standing there.
Unlocking the door, Tea
stepped in, hanging her jacket on the coat rack. She made her way towards the
living room, laying on the couch, ready to fall asleep.
"Hello Tea." A soft
voice whispered in her ear.
Startled and surprised, Tea
kicked herself up, seeing Marik's face hovering above her. Marik smirked evily
as Tea scrambled to her feet.
"What do you want
Marik?" Tea took a few steps back.
"You're not an easy girl
as I once thought when my hikari took over your mind. When he controlled you,
you submitted to his every whim. But now that you have a millennium item, my millennium
rod is rendered useless in controlling your mind."
"Whether in controlling
my mind or taking my bracelet, it won't work!!" she then pointed to the
door. "Now if there's anything you want, you can take that door and get
out of my house!"
"Actually, there's
something I need as far as those two factors are concerned." he then
snapped his fingers twice.
Tea arced an eyebrow,
wondering what was up with that. Suddenly, she felt one hand clamping over her mouth
tightly. Tea struggled against the hold but it was tight.
"Very good
Serenity," Marik laughed softly. "You keep this up and I might give
you something extra special." he made his way towards Tea, grabbing her.
"Get the car. We're gonna have a nice drive."
