Summary: Five years have passed since Atem and Tea got married and had their twins Yuka and Kimika, but there is a woman who is infatuated with Atem and is doing everything in his power to take Tea's place in his heart and his life. Will she succeed?
Chapter 3
Coming out of the airport, there was a man who carried his luggage and briefcase dressing in a white business suit walking from his flight from Paris to Domino City. As he was coming out, there were lines of people staring at him knowing who he was and his popular status since he was also had a multi-million dollar corporation. His name was Seto Kaiba and he was here to announce the move of his company. He also wanted to make it known that his company would rise above anyone else's, especially a certain rival he has been competing with since he could remember. Coming outside, he ignored the screaming girls, the flashing cameras and the questions from those annoying reporters as he was getting inside his limo. Driving away from the scene, he chose this time to check his e-mails on his laptop while waiting to be taken to his home.
'I wonder how my long time rival is going to feel when he finds out I'm back in town.' he thought while clicking the keys on his laptop.

Atem woke up from the early morning light shining on his face and the breeze of the fresh ocean air coming in through the bedroom window. Looking out the window, he saw that the sun wasn't up yet, but the sky was starting to light up. He never felt so relaxed in a long time and he savored every second of it knowing that there wasn't anything disturbing him and the best thing about it was, he didn't have to hear all of that city traffic, beeping horns, rushing pedestrians or annoying reporters. Nope, it was just him and his loving family in their beach house away from the world creating their own. Turning over to face his wife and wrap his arm around her, Atem discovered that Tea wasn't in bed with him and wondered where she disappeared to. Turning around to look at the clock, he realized just how early it really was since the clock read 5 am. Climbing out of bed, Atem walked out of the room in search of Tea. While he was walking down the hall, he passed the twin's room and took a quick peek inside to see that they were still sound asleep. Smiling at them knowing they were okay, he continued downstairs and looked around to find the patio door slightly open and guessed that was where Tea was.
So pulling the door open, he found her sitting on the lounge chair with one of her chapter books in her hand. This gave Atem the chance to take in the scene of her and thought just how he was the luckiest man to be married to such a beautiful goddess. The morning air was blowing the locks of her brown hair that he loves to run his fingers through. Her eyes sparkled the same way the ocean did and it was like she carried her own ocean within the depths of her pupils. If he had an easel, he would sit facing Tea and paint her for hours. Coming out of his thoughts, Atem walked over quietly as he could without startling her. Tea looked up when she heard him sit down next to her. She closed her book when Atem embraced her and kissed her tenderly. He pulled back while playing with a few strands of her hair.
"How is it that you are able to get out of bed without me knowing?" he asked. Tea giggled.
"I have my ways, I kinda wanted to watch the sunrise. You can see it better here than you can at home."
"You could have woken me up, I would have came out here to watch it with you." Tea smiled and laid her head on Atem's chest when he laid back in a reclining position.
"Yeah I could have, but I didn't want to disturb you. It's was the first time in a long while that you've slept so peacefully and I didn't have the heart to wake you. Are the kids still asleep?" she asked.
"Yup, sleeping soundly. Until they wake up and we hear their joyful voices through the house and the pounding of their feet coming down the steps greeting us with morning hugs and kisses." Tea smiled and sighed blissfully knowing just how true Atem was. She and Atem loved seeing the smiling faces of their children every morning when they woke up. It was one of their favorite things to look forward to everyday.
"You know, Yuki's is getting to be more and more like you everyday." she said drawing circles on his chest. Atem chuckled as he continued playing with her hair.
"You think so?" he asked playfully.
"I know so, he's got the same fighter spirit that you do. I noticed it everytime he plays his games, like nothing will stand in his way of trying to save the day, just like nothing stands in your way."
"When it comes to people hurting my family and friends, I do everything in my power to make sure they pay with their lives." Tea smiled and kissed along Atem's jawline bringing a small moan from him.
"That's why I love you so much, my knight in shining armor. What did I do to deserve you?" Atem brought her into another passionate kiss pulling back slowly to look at her with loving eyes.
"All you did was love me, made my life worth meaning and gave me two beautiful children that I love and treasure so much. If anything, I should be the one that doesn't deserve you." he said. Tea blinked in confusion wondering what he meant.
"What are talking about?" she asked. Atem looked down and placed his hand on top of hers.
"When we started dating, I wondered if I had pressured you into opening your heart again. Since you were hurt so badly by Renku in the past and then having to deal with Rachel too...I wanted to help you and give you time to heal, but at the same time I wanted to pull you into my arms and protect you from anyone who tried to hurt you again." Atem explained. Tea placed her hand on Atem's cheek and caressed it soothingly.
"Honey, listen to me. You didn't pressure me into anything, it was my choice and my decision to be with you and you know what, it was one of the best decisions I ever made because it determined whether I was going to live the rest of my life unloved or if I was going to follow my heart and be happy again. I knew I was making the right choice when I fell in love with you. I don't have any regrets, there's no need to have any when our life together is wonderful. Now no more thoughts about this, okay? Because I am happy with the way things are with our lives, I love you so much." Tea said with a few tears leaked from her eyes. Atem wiped them away and kissed her lips again showing just how much her words touched him. Pulling back, he smiled at her.
"I love you too." he said. As Atem and Tea were about to kiss again, they heard a few sniffles from the door and both turned to see Yuki and Kimika coming out. The sniffleing was from Kimika crying. She was rubbing her eyes and carrying Patches in her arm while Yuki was pulling her gently over to their parents. Looking concerned, Atem picked up Kimika and Tea picked up Yuki to sit them on their laps. Atem kissed Kimika forehead to calm her down.
"What's the matter little angel?" he asked concerned. She tried to answer her father, but Kimika was still upset so Yuki answered for her.
"Kimika had a bad dream and she was scared to go back to sleep." he said. Tea wiped Kimika's tears away while moving a little of her hair behind her little ears.
"What did you dream about sweetie?" she asked.
"M-member that lady we saw y-yesterday at the store?" Kimika asked. Atem and Tea nodded.
"Yes, what about her?" Atem asked.
"I had a bad dream that sh-she took you away from us Daddy. I didn't want you to go with her, but when I called you, y-you wouldn't come back. You won't go with that lady, will you Daddy?" she asked as she started crying again. Atem was heartbroken by the sight of his daughter being so upset and he hugged her close to him rocking her back and forth and calming her down. Tea shed a few tears from watching and hearing Kimika's pleading voice. Yuki had a blank stare, but it had a glint of rage in his eyes from hearing what his sister's dream was about. He already didn't like that Vivian woman and made a promise to make her life as miserable as possible if she ever thought about destroying his family. Atem pulled Kimika back and wiped her tears.
"Oh Kimika, my little angel, that's not going to happen. I love your Mommy very much and there isn't anyone that will take me away from her, you or your brother. That lady you saw yesterday you don't have to worry about her because I already made it clear to her that she is not to come near us, okay?" he said. Kimika nodded her little head while wiping her eyes.
"You're Daddy's right honey, it was just a bad dream. No one is going to come between Daddy and me and ruin our family. So I don't want either of you kids to worry about that." Tea said with a smile. Kimika and Yuki looked at each other before turning back to their parents.
"Promise?" they both asked. Atem and Tea laughed.
"We promise, oh look, the sun's rising. See how pretty it is?" Tea said looking out into the horizon. Yuki and Kimika both gasped in excitement seeing as how this was their first sunrise that they had ever laid their eyes on. As the sun was coming up, they all took in the way the colors blended the sky and the ocean like it was a beautiful portrait. The ocean sparkled like there were little tiny stars dancing upon it. The scene was breath-taking and it was one of the reasons why Atem loved coming out here. Looking to the right, he gazed at Tea with loving eyes and then he glanced at his children who were still watching the sky with happy expressions. He knew that there was no one, not even Vivian that can ruin this family, but he was ready if they even dared to try.
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
It was an hour later after the Mutou family ate breakfast and now they were outside on the beach. Tea was in her black bikini with rose petals and around her waist she wore a dark red beach skirt. She was sitting on the towel with a beach umbrella over her keeping the sun blocked from her reading her book. Looking up when she heard laughter, she smiled at the sight of Yuki and Kimika playing 'Marco Polo' with Atem. Atem was Marco while the kids were Polo and Tea was laughing at the way Yuki and Kimika were circling around Atem while he was blindfolded.
"Marco!" Atem said.
"Polo!" Yuki said coming up on his left side. He moved out the way when Atem turned in his direction.
"Marco!" he said again.
"Polo!" This time Kimika popped up on his right side and quickly moved while giggling when Atem turned to find her. Atem still had his hands out, but he stood in the same place.
"Marco!" he said again. Yuki and Kimika were both occupying one side of Atem as the were coming closer to him.
"Polo!" they both said. Atem quickly flew his arms out and caught the both of them making Yuki and Kimika scream and laugh in delight as Atem picked them up and played around in the water splashing each other. Tea laughed when the both of them managed to break out of his arms and splash Atem until he was completely drenched. It wasn't until she heard her name being called to help him out. Deciding that he had enough, Tea stood up from her seat and walked down to the shoreline.
"Okay kids, that's enough. I don't think Daddy can handle the wrath of you two anymore, why don't you guys come on up and change into your clothes. You don't want us to miss the carnival today, do you?" she asked. Both of them gasped.
"No way, I can't wait to go! I'm going to win every prize they got there, they better watch out cause I'm going to dominate every game!" Yuki said while pumping his fist in the air.
"I want a prize too and I want to go on all of the rides." Kimika said.
"C'mon Kimika, I'll race you upstairs." Yuki said getting head start.
"Yuki no, you're not allowed to run in the house." she said running after her brother. Tea laughed at the antics of her children and then turned to see Atem coming out of the water drenched. Tea had to cover her mouth to hide the laugh that was building up in her chest begging to come out.
"Are you laughing?" Atem asked with a smirk. Tea still had her mouth covered let out a few giggles.
"What are you going to do if I was?" she asked back. Atem came closer to her.
"Oh I don't know, but you do seem a little dry to me." he said. Tea backed away when she saw that look in his eyes.
"Atem, you better not be thinking what I think you're thinking." she said in a warning voice. Atem just tuned out the warning and before Tea knew what was happening, she was being picked up and thrown over Atem's shoulder.
"Atem, put me down! I'm not kidding, you better not throw me in that water!" Tea said hitting his back. Atem laughed and gave her rear a light smack bringing a squeak of surprise out of her.
"I'm not going to throw you, that would just be cruel my darling, but I think you need a good splash too." Running back to the water, Tea screamed when Atem jumped and fell into the water. Atem returned to the surface taking a deep breath and started laughing again. Looking around though, he didn't spot Tea anywhere and got worried, that is until he felt something on his legs pulling him back down underwater and something being pressed against his lips. Opening his eyes, he was met with blue eyes and wrapped his arms around her returning the kiss. Atem and Tea went back up to the surface without breaking the kiss and after two minutes of kissing, they broke apart to catch their breath. Keeping their foreheads together, Tea smiled at him giving him a half-lidded look.
"Well I guess getting wet wasn't so bad, if it meant I get to kiss you underwater." she said.
"Looks like you're picking up on my tricks." he said. Tea giggled.
"I'm your wife, your tricks are my tricks." she said moving closer again until their lips were only a half-inch apart.
"Touche'." With that, they slammed their lips together kissing wildly as Tea moved her hands through Atem's hair and Atem sliding his hands up and down her back. Breaking apart to catch their breath, Tea looked up at the house remembering the twins.
"We better get out so we can get ready to leave. I'm pretty sure the kids are done getting dressed and are waiting for us." Atem laughed and he walked out of the water bringing Tea with him.
"Then let's not keep them waiting." he said. Grabbing the beach equipment, Atem and Tea walked inside to shower and dress so they could all leave for the carnival.
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
After an hour of driving, they finally reached the carnival entrance. Atem turned off the car and they all opened the doors to walk up to the ticket lady at the entrance. Yuki and Kimika were just about to run inside when they were both caught by their shirts and lifted up into the air while wiggling around trying to get free from the grip of their father.
"Whoa you two, hold on we have to give our tickets to the lady first." he said.
"Well hurry up, I want get to the games and the rides and the food and the snacks and then the games again!" Yuki said while continuing to try and reach the ground.
"I want to hurry and get prizes and toys and I want to ride the rides too!" Kimika said doing the same thing her brother was doing. Atem and Tea laughed.
"Hurry up honey, they're going to break away soon." he said. Tea went up to the ticket lady to give her the tickets before going inside with Atem and the twins. Putting them down slowly, it's like they almost sprinted away from the excitement. Looking around, they saw the merry-go-round, the game booths, the roller coasters, the carousel, alot of booths that serve different foods, snacks, candies and all kinds of different treats. There was also a booth where you can get your fortune told, your face painted and balloon hats were made.
"I want to go to the target games!" Yuki said pointing to one of the booths.
"No, let's go get balloon hats first!" said Kimika. Atem and Tea turned to each other smiling shaking their heads.
"We'll have plenty of time to do everything kids, there's no rush." Tea said.
"So what do you guys want to do first?" Atem asked. Yuki and Kimika were pondering on that question while tapping their chins.
"Well, I guess we can get balloon hats first. I want a blue one!" Yuki said running to the booth.
"Wait Yuki, wait for Mommy and Daddy so you don't get lost!" Kimika said as she ran after him. Atem and Tea keeping their eye on them followed them over to the booth. Arriving a minute later, Yuki and Kimika sat down on the stools and told the man what color hats they wanted. Yuki got a blue one and Kimika received a pink one. After they thanked the man, Yuki ran ahead again with Kimika following behind telling him not to run too far and Atem and Tea were in the rear following them. Yuki arrived at the booth he wanted to go to and waited until the guy in charge of the booth finished setting up. Atem, Tea and Kimika caught up with Yuki.
"Hey there little dude, come to test your luck and skill?" he said in a friendly voice.
"Yeah, I came to dominate all the games here. I'm going to try and win all of the prizes." Yuki said determined.
"Haha, hey I like your style kid. Let's see how good you are, okay the object of the game is to shoot as many targets as you can with your water shooter before the sand goes to the bottom of my hour glass. If you get five targets or more, you'll win a prize, but it's not as easy as it sounds. The targets are pretty fast and you got to have a quick eye. Think you can do it little dude?" he asked. Yuki nodded and sat down on the stool after being given his shooter.
"I sure can." he said getting ready. Kimika came up beside him to watch.
"You can do it Yuki." she said. The guy started up the targets and looked back at Yuki giving him a salute.
"Good luck dude." he said. The targets now started coming out and they were really fast, but that didn't make Yuki nervous not one bit. Nope, he can take out those targets on his sleep. Using his eye coordination, Yuki shot every target that came up. Five shots turned into ten, then fifteen, and finally twenty. Yuki won the game automatically after just five shots, but he wanted to see how many he could take out before time was up. When the sand reached the bottom, the targets stopped. Kimika was jumping up and down in excitement proud that her brother won. Atem came over and gave him a light noogie on Yuki's head making him laugh.
"Nice job son." he said.
"Thanks Dad, it was no sweat." Tea smiled at her son's happy face.
"Okay little dude, you got a choice from these cool prizes." he said. Yuki looked up at all of the toys and stuffed animals that were available for his choosing. There were so many, he couldn't decide what to pick. That is until his eyes landed on a stuffed long red dragon with gold markings along his face.
"I want that one." he said. Picking out the dragon, the man gave it to Yuki. Kimika was happy, but also a little sad because she wanted a prize like her brother too. The guy noticed this and quickly smiled turning to Yuki.
"Hey, since you beaten the all time record on this game, you get to choose another prize. How about we get one for your sister?" he said. Yuki looked over to Kimika and smiled too.
"Okay, which one do you want Kimika?" She gasped in excitement and turned to the prizes. Her eyes landed on a cute polar bear with blue eyes holding a baby polar bear.
"Can I have that one?" she asked in a cute voice. The guy nodded and gave it to her.
"Here you go little dudette, I hope you enjoy her." Kimika nodded and hugged her to her chest. Saying goodbye to the man, they all set off to play more games. Atem showed his talents playing a few games himself and won a special pink jeweled necklace and a brown teddy bear for Tea. Then when they won enough prizes, they all went on the carnival rides. Yuki and Kimika enjoyed themselves on the carousel while Atem and Tea watched them. They had a thirty minute break from all the fun to eat lunch and rest up before they got up again to try their luck at a few more games. It was now starting to get dark and the booths were starting to close for the night. Kimika and Yuki were both tired from the fun they had today. Atem was carrying Yuki on his back while having his dragon draped over his shoulder and Tea was carrying Kimika in her arms along with the bears. Opening the car door, Atem put in Yuki first and then took Kimika, who was sound asleep in Tea's arms, placing her next to Yuki. Once they were situated, he opened the door for Tea and got inside himself. Starting up the car, Atem pulled out driving back to the beach house, but neither Atem nor Tea noticed that they were being watched.
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Within the shadows behind a bush, there was a parked black car watching Atem and Tea driving away. Turning to pick up his cell phone, he dialed the number of his boss and waited for an answer.
"Got any news?" the person asked.
"Yeah, they were seen coming out of some kiddie carnival. Now I'm guessing they're driving home." the mysterious man said.
"Keep your eyes on her, it's going to be a time when she's going to be alone and that's when you and your boys grab her. Once she's out of the way, I'll have Atem all to myself."
"Yes Ms. Wong." With that, the man hung up and drove off in a different direction.
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Finally, Atem, Tea and the kids arrived back from the carnival. They walked upstairs to change Yuki and Kimika out of their clothes, washing them up and tucking them both in bed. The twins were so tired that they could barely keep their eyes open, but they kept them open long enough to tell their parents goodnight. Tea leaned down to kiss Yuki's forehead and Atem laid his hand over on his head.
"Goodnight Mom and Dad." Yuki said in a sleepy voice.
"Goodnight son, sweet dreams." said Atem. Tea rubbed his hair one more time before going over to Kimika and pulling the covers over her and giving her a kiss too.
"Goodnight honey, no more bad dreams okay?" she said. Kimika nodded and gave out a small yawn.
"Night Mommy and Daddy." she whispered as she closed her eyes. Atem leaned in and kissed her forehead.
"Night little angel, sleep tight." He and Tea both walked out turning off the lamps and walking down to their room for bed. Changing out of their clothes and showering, they laid down together. Atem brought Tea over to lay on his chest both sighing peacefully from a long, longday. Lifting her head slightly, Tea gave Atem a smile.
"So, you have fun today?" she asked. Atem chuckled rubbing her back.
"I did, you know we have such great kids." Tea giggled.
"We do, don't we? Looks like we'll be leaving soon, I wish we could stay out here a little longer."
"Me too, I feel so relaxed being out here. But I know that I have to go back to the office soon, hopefully it won't be as busy as it was for the past few weeks." he said.
"I hope it isn't either. Mm, I'm so tired I just want to sleep." Tea said closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep. Atem smiled and kissed her forehead before closing his eyes and falling asleep along with Tea.
Another chapter done, tell me your thoughts on how you like it in your reviews and I'll have the next chapter up soon. Oh, before I go, I just want to point out something to you readers. I've been getting reviews from some of you asking me if Atem is going to leave Tea for Vivian. I just want you all know that I'm not going to make Atem leave Tea. She's just in the story as the villain and that's it so don't worry, it's an Atem/Tea fic. I gag at the thought of writing an Atem/Vivian fic. So I just wanted to point that out and erase any worries you have, okay I'll ttyl readers.
