Worry.


An extremely busy night for Tea. She walked around tables greeting guests as she passed by. Finally she got to an empty table. She sat down, enjoying the rest off her feet. Saturday nights weren't her favorite nights that's for sure. Before she specifically took them to avoid the crowd. "Hello Tea, mind if I have a seat?" she smiled as Kaiba sat next to her.

"You normally don't visit unless you have good news. Glad you came, I wanted to go over the idea of expanding with you." Tea motioned over another waiter.

Kaiba rolled his eyes, "Actually I'd love to make a deal with you especially after what I had to go through." He ordered his drink then turned his attention back to the brunette. The two had an odd friendship, it only existed every now and then. "You know what I hate Tea? I hate the kind of person who thinks they've reached the point of high and mighty. My last meeting? This guy comes in town and suggests we should do business. The guy had over 10 murder cases of which all took place in his own home."

Tea choked, "Please tell me you're kidding." Kaiba shook his head no. "…Mai might be on a date with that guy…"

"Wait…. What?"

Tea quickly looked over to a booth next to a window noticing it was now vacant. Vacant, yet occupied with a set of keys Tea instantly recognized as Mai's. A gut dropping feeling came over her, "…they've already left…" The two stared at each other. Without a word He stood and walked off in a hurry, leaving Tea to make desperate phone calls.

Tea walked from table to table, nervously trying to remain calm. She looked over her shoulder constantly to the empty booth. Where had Mai gone? She wasn't home, her phone was off, her keys were still at the table. She felt sick to her stomach, her sister went missing right before her eyes. "Tea." An extremely familiar comforting voice was right behind her. She turned around surprising to her to find both Joey and Yami standing behind her. Yami reached out for her hand she took it. "What happened?"

"She was here a second ago, I talked to Kaiba, then turned around and she was gone. She left her keys on the table and when I try to call her phone is off. Did you guys check the apartment?" Joey nodded for an answer, a gloom look was stuck on his face. Mai wasn't anywhere she'd normally be. "What about any of the other bars? Maybe a night club? Or maybe…" Joey this time shook his head no before turning to walk off. Tea's heart pounded faster and faster. Her sister was missing. She just wanted her safe. "We have to find her."

"Mai's missing?" Tea and Yami both almost jumped when noticing Bakura had been standing there with Marik close behind. His expression was blank, but the concern was in the voice.

"Shouldn't you two be gone by now?" Yami stood in front of Tea. "There is no reason for either one of you to be here."

Marik sighed, "So that answers who burned down my home. Honestly Yami aren't we past the curiosity of arson teenagers?"

"What happened?" Bakura stepped around Yami pulling Tea off to the side with him. "Yesterday she was fine, but today? She's missing?" Quickly she retold her point of view. Shortly before she finished he turned and walked away. That girl gets herself in more trouble than anyone else.
