Chapter 2 The Revealing
"Who are you?" Te'a asked frightened. The young man lifted his head. He looked deep into her eyes.
"Do you not know me? Have you forgotten me?" he spoke in a chilling voice.
"I, I, I" she stammered. Then she had a flashback and it was like her eyes were being opened for the first time. She stared at the young man. At his grungy clothes, his unwashed hair, his dirt stricken face, but she was looking beyond all that. She was looking at the man that used to be in this body. The man that was once so happy.
"Yugi" Te'a said clearly. The man's face shifted into a softer expression.
"Te'a" he said in a soft voice. That instant Te'a knew exactly along with everyone else in the room who this was. Te'a turned to David and looked into his eyes. He looked at her not furious and not even sad, he looked at her as if he totally understood. He leaned in and whispered something in her ear.
Te'a stood up straight and made her way back down the isle. She walked passed the man and out the door beckoning him to follow. He turned and followed after. His shoulders were slumped so he looked shorter than her already was. The crowd's heads turned as they slipped out the giant oak doors. Once the young man made it out the door, Te'a pulled him into a black limo and they drove off.
"What are you doing here? Trying to ruin everything? Te'a huffed.
"I didn't-" but Yugi was cut off.
"You didn't mean to!" Te'a yelled. "Well, you did a great job!"
"Te'a, look at me" Yugi replied softly. "Look who you're talking to. I'm your friend, not your enemy." Te'a looked at Yugi with an expression of great sadness.
"Why don't we stop somewhere and talk?" Yugi offered.
"Okay. We can talk at my place" Te'a muttered.
"NO, that's the first place they'll look for us" Yugi interrupted.
"Who's after us?" Te'a asked frightened.
"Not now, it's not safe. We must go somewhere else. Have your driver stop in that alley and let us out. Direct him not to tell anyone our location. It's not safe" Yugi said.
"Fine. Billy turn in that alley and let us out" Te'a directed the driver.
"But ma'am, are you sure you want to be dropped off here?" the driver asked.
"Yes. And if anyone asks where we are, tell them you dropped us off at my apartment. Okay?" Te'a asked as kindly as she could.
"Okay" he said pulling into the alley. Te'a and Yugi got out and closed the door as the limo was driving off.
"Let's walk" Yugi said directing Te'a to a dark corner.
"Wait. Why don't we walk down here in the sunlight? It's warm out today," Te'a asked hopefully.
"We will, but not now" Yugi replied.
"Why not?" Te'a argued.
"Well for one, you're still dressed in your wedding dress and that will attract attention that we don't need" Yugi said matter-of-factly.
"Oh. But I need clothes to change into and we're nowhere near my apartment. And there are stores out there" Te'a said pointing to the bright end of the tunnel.
"I have clothes where I live. Follow me" he replied walking toward a bunch of mattresses piled on top of each other. He then moved the mattresses and opened the door. He walked in waiting for Te'a to follow, she did.
Yugi walked down a dark hallway and stopped at another door. He pulled out a key and unlocked it. Slowly turning the knob, he pushed the door open. First he walked in, then Te'a, and finally the door was closed and there was a "click" that motioned it was locked.
"Here," Yugi said throwing clothes at Te'a. "You can wear these." Te'a looked down at the clothes. They looked like they were bum clothes. She put them on and looked at herself in a fogged mirror. "I look disgusting. There are patched everywhere. And 'Ugh!' they smell like they haven't been washed in years" she said to herself. She walked over and sat Indian style facing Yugi.
"Will you please tell me what's going on?" Te'a pleaded. Yugi looked at her like he really didn't want to tell her, but decided to anyway.
I am just going to skip the endless details of what they were talking about and go a few hours a head when they were finally making progress and because I do not fell like uses many pages of clean paper that I am not willing to part with at this certain point in time.
"So…… What? I am so confused!" Te'a shrieked squeezing her head tightly.
"Calm down. I will explain it one more time. Kiaba has found a disk that could change the world forever" Yugi said slowly.
"But I still don't see what the disk controls" Te'a whined.
"If the disk is put into the drive Kiaba Corps. Found in an Ancient tomb in Egypt, they will be able to control the minds of every poor soul in the world" Yugi explained.
"Oh. But what do they want with you?" Te'a asked.
"I have the disk. That's why I have to disguise myself like this" he replied.
"But why do you live here?"
"I can't go home because I don't want to put my grandfather in danger and this would be the last place they would look for me."
"But you'd rather put me in danger!" Te'a yelled up. "I was doing just fine until you came along and ruined everything! Why didn't you just leave me alone!"
"Te'a, Te'a" Yugi said softly walking over to her. "Calm down."
"No no no" Te'a cried falling to the ground. Yugi slid down to the ground next to her.
"Te'a" he said lifting her chin so he could look into her teary eyes. He wiped the tears from her cheek. "The only reason I brought you here is because I love you. I always have, no matter what I said before. And Kiaba knows the people I love and he will try anything to hurt them. That's why I had to take you here. Do you understand now? Do you understand why I had to do this?"
"Yes" she said meekly. She lay in his arms feeling safe and at home. Yugi laid his head on hers. They sat there for hours embracing each other and eventually drifted of to sleep.
