Chapter 10

It had been two days later when Atem asked Tea to move in with him. Tea was in her hospital room waiting for the doctor to give her the okay that she could leave. As she was placing her things in her hospital bag, she started getting the same pain she had in her head a few days ago. This time, was starting to remember more from the night of the explosion. She remembered that she was standing next to a table facing the window and as she looked up, saw the shadowed figures facing inside. Tea still wasn't able to see who they were because they were a bit foggy for her to identify. Suddenly the pain in her head disappeared and she opened her eyes and sighed. She wondered if she should tell Atem about her flashbacks and was brought out of her thoughts by someone coming inside her room. She turned to see that it was Atem behind her and she smiled when he walked in and gave her a kiss. He pulled back and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Hey, are you ready to go?" he asked.

"Yeah, but first I have to wait for the doctor to come back in." As soon as she said that, Dr, Hyoga opened the door and came inside carrying some release forms for Tea to sign and her medication.

"Good morning you two. Okay Ms. Gardner, I just have a few things to say before you leave. This prescription will help with the headaches that you've been having from you head injury, take one everyday to help the the pains. Also, come back in about two weeks so that we can remove that cast off of your arm. I think that's about it so once she signs the release forms, you're free to take her Mr. Mutou." he said.

"Thank-you Dr. Hyoga." Atem said as he shook his hand.

"No problem, just make sure that you take it easy, alright Ms. Gardner?" he said. Tea nodded and stood up from the bed and gave the forms to him.

"I will, thanks so much for your help." she said. Atem picked up her bag for her while he followed her out the room, but was stopped by the doctor when he called his name and turned around to see what he wanted.

"Mr. Mutou, because of Tea's injury to the head, she's not able to remember anything from what happened in the explosion, but there might be times where she could be experiencing flashes. This is probably why she's having these headaches so make sure that she get plenty of rest and that she doesn't over exert herself." he explained. Atem nodded as he remembered what Tea told him about the shadowed figures that she saw.

"Alright, but do you think that she will remember anything from that night?" Atem asked.

"Well it depends, but seeing as how she's having headaches could be a sign that she could remember something soon." he said.

"Alright, thank-you doctor." Atem then said goodbye to him and walked to the elevators where he found Tea waiting for him by the doors. As he was getting closer to her, he could tell that she was still a little weak from her injuries and from the looks of her eyes, he could tell that hasn't been getting the proper sleep like she was suppose to be having. Probably from the nurses coming into her room checking up on her about every two or three hours. Atem was going to fix all of that once he gets her home. He wrapped his arm around her and she leaned into him for support while Atem pressed the button in the elevator waiting for the doors to open. They walked inside and pressed the button for the first floor leading to the entrance.

"You alright?" Atem asked as he looked down to Tea leaning on his shoulder with her eyes closed. She lifted her head to him while giving him a tired smile and nodded.

"Mm-hm, I'm just a little tired. A nurse gave me a muscle relaxer when I woke up this morning and I guess it's starting to work on me." she said.

"Well, let's go get your stuff packed and we can go on home." he said. Tea opened her eyes again when she heard Atem say the word 'home' and smiled knowing that he was serious about her living with him.

"You know, I like how that sounds." she said. Atem chuckled.

"Well get used to it, because you're going to be hearing it for a long time." he said. The elevator doors opened and they walked out to of the hospital to his car. Atem helped Tea inside the passenger's seat carefully. Once she was settled, he went around to the driver's side and got in. He started up the car and pulled out of the parking lot with the both of them not once looking back at the hospital. About twenty minutes later, they arrived at Tea's apartment. They walked inside and started packing up her stuff. After an hour later, Tea was in her closet making sure she didn't forget anything while remembering all of the times that she would spend here by herself until her friends would drag her out the door and have some fun time, but she also remembered the time when she caught Renku in her bedroom with another woman.

'I'm glad I got that matress burned, there was no way I was sleeping on it after what I saw that day. Well, looks like I got everything, guess it's time to go.' she thought. She then closed the closet door for the last time and turned to find Atem leaning against the wall with his arms folded and giving her a soft smile. Tea walked over to him and hugged his waist with her right arm. He returned her embrace by bringing her closer to his chest and laying his head on top of hers.

"Everything okay?" he asked. She looked up to him smiling and nodded.

"Yeah, just seeing if I had forgotten anything, but I think I have everything I need plus more." she said and then leaned up to kiss Atem which he happily returned. They broke apart slowly giving each other half lidded looks. Atem leaned his head down to Tea neck to give her a light nuzzle which made her giggle when he touched her sensitive spot. He lifted his head from her neck and smiled while rubbing his hand in her cheek. Tea closed her eyes and leaned in his touch giving out a contented sigh.

"Let's go home, I knowI have everything." she said when she opened her eyes again to look at him. Atem led her out the room to the front door. Tea gave one last look to the apartment before closing the door and locking it for the last time. When they got inside the car and Atem started driving home, he took a glance over to Tea and noticed that she suddenly became quiet. Not only that, but she looked like she was thinking about something so he stroke up a conversation with her.

"Something on your mind?" he asked. Tea turned her head to Atem.

"Actually, there is. I was wondering if we could stop by the site where the cafe was exploded." she said. Atem glanced at her for a second before turning back to the road.

"Is there a reason?" he asked already knowing the answer, but figured that she wanted to tell him herself.

"Well, for a couple of days, I've been having remembering flashes of what happened that night, but I can't seem to put them together. So if I were to go there, maybe these flashes will become more clearer." she said while placing her hand on her cast.

"Alright, let's go." Atem said. He drove down for about ten minutes until they arrived to where the cafe used to be. When the car stopped, Tea opened the door to her side and stepped out slowly looking at the destruction left behind from the explosion. There was absolutely nothing but rubble. The sight of it brought tears to Tea's eyes, but she took a deep breath to calm herself down and walked closer to the destruction. Atem stood by the car figuring he would give her this time to herself. Tea just stared at the wreckage when suddenly, she got that pain in her head again. The same flashes came to her, but this time, the shadowed figures were becoming a little more clearer, but not clear enough to know exactly who they were. Atem walked over to Tea and brought her to his chest when he saw her clutching her head. He walked the both of them over to the car and sat in silence for a few minutes. Atem turned and saw her head lowered with her bangs covering her eyes so he couldn't tell what she was feeling right now. He reached over and gently turned her face to look at him. As she raised her head to him, Atem could see the fatigue in her eyes and was deeply concerned.

"Did something come to you? Anything that helped you to figure out who did this?" he asked. Tea slowly shook her head.

"No, not a thing, it's the same flashes I'm having and the shadowed figures are still foggy. I just wish I can remember who it was I saw that night." Atem caressed her face soothingly.

"Tea, calm down. These things take time and since you're experiencing these flashes, you'll be able to figure them out in no time. I'll be right here helping you, okay?" he said. Tea nodded slowly, but still feeling a little frustrated of the situation. Atem kissed her cheek which brought a little smile to Tea's face.

"Let's get you on home, you need more rest." he said. Atem then started up the car and drove away from the wreckage with neither of them looking back. It was about forty minutes later when they finally arrived at home. Atem and Tea went inside with her stuff and placed them in the living room on the floor. Tea kneels down to open one of her boxes, but was stopped by Atem's hand on her wrist. He pulled her up until she was standing in front of him.

"Why don't you leave those there until later? You look like you're going to fall out any minute if you don't lay down." he said. Tea turned back to her boxes hesitating, but Atem placed a kiss on her hand giving her a reassuring look saying that it was okay. Tea then gave into his idea feeling herself getting very tired from the medication anyway. Atem led her upstairs to his room and eased her down on the bed. Once Tea felt the pillow under her head, her eyes were much heavier and she couldn't keep them open any longer. Atem brushed a strand of her hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. After he realized Tea was fast asleep, he leaned over to kiss her lightly on her head and stood up to go downstairs into the living room. Atem sat down on the sofa leaning his head back as he thought about the flashes that Tea was experiencing. There was no way to know who exactly caused the explosion until Tea remembered who the shadowed figures were she saw that night. Just thinking about it made him angry because there was nothing he could do to help her. He turned his head over to Tea's things lying on the floor when suddenly an idea came to him. Atem stood up from his seat and picked up the boxes to take upstairs, but being careful not to make any noise and wake up Tea.

'I'll have plenty of time if I do this now. Even if I might not be able to help Tea try and remember who she saw that night of the explosion, I can bring a smile to her face. Well, I have alot to do so I better get started.' He opened the door to an empty room and set the boxes down on the floor to get started on his task.

Akiyoshi Ookami sat in his office after having a board meeting discussing the financial problems of his company's stocks which has been happening for about a year now. He was so busy filling out documents that he didn't hear his door open and someone walking inside until he was brought out of his work by a shadow blocking his light. He looked up to see his daughter Rachel giving him a smile.

"Hi Daddy, what are you doing?" she asked in a very high cheery voice.

"Just trying to keep this place of mine in order." he said as he continued with his work.

"And you're doing a wonderful job, I just wanted to know if you're going to that company party that's coming up in a few weeks." Akiyoshi nodded.

"Yes I am, I have to find someone trustworthy to merge my company with. If I don't than it will plummet to the ground." Rachel slammed her hands on Akiyoshi's desk.

"What do you mean? Aren't you going to merge with Atem's company?" He looked up from his paper with a bored expression.

"He's already told me that he doesn't want to so I'm not going to force him." he said. Rachel growled in frustration at her father.

"Yes you can, we Ookamis always get what we want. You can blackmail him, find some dirt on him that will make him marry me and force him to merge his company with yours. Once that happens, you would be the richest man in the world-" she was cut off by Akiyoshi slamming his fists on his desk and standing up in his chair.

"ENOUGH, THAT IS ENOUGH OUT OF YOU! I am not going to dishonor myself to do trickery just to get what I want, I would rather be in the poorhouse first. That is not how you get things in life and I have brought you up better than that. Now leave so that I can get back to work." he said as he sat back down.

"But Daddy-"

" . .Work." he said not wanting to hear another word from her. Rachel glared at her father and stomped out of his office steaming with anger. She left out the building making people around her very cautious to get near her because they were afraid that she would strike the first person that gets in her way. Rachel opened the door to her limo and slammed it shut. She turned to Renku who woke up from the loud noise. He sat up and glared at her while rubbing his eye.

"Dammit woman, you and that attitude of yours. So I take it he didn't like your idea?" he asked irritated.

"That old fart doesn't know what he's doing, it's time I take matters into my own hands, I'm not going to let anyone stand in my way and if it means getting rid of my father, then so be it. We're going to continue with the plan and this time, there is nothing that's going to ruin it." Rachel said. She then ordered the driver to take her home.

It was around seven in the evening when Tea woke up and noticed how dark the room became. She sat up in the bed trying to clear her eyes from her long hours of sleeping when the pain in her head came again. The same flashes came to her, but this time she remembered the explosion coming from the kitchen and the impact of it sent her crashing and hitting her head hard against the wall. She looked up in a daze and saw the figures run away from the cafe before she passed out. Tea opened her eyes and sighed when she couldn't remember the two bodies she saw that night. They were still cloudy to her in her mind and wondered if she will ever know who it was she saw.

"You're finally awake." Tea looked up to find Atem coming inside the room carrying a full tray of food with him. He sat down next to her and placed the tray in front of her which made her stomach growl in hunger from not eating anything all day.

"Thanks, I can't believe I slept the whole day away. I hope you weren't too bored." she said picking up a piece of her sandwich and eating it slowly. Atem smiled and shook his head while picking up a grape from the bowl on the tray and popping it in his mouth.

"No, I wasn't. In fact while you were sound asleep, I was keeping myself busy by doing a little project, which took all day for me to finish." he said. Tea scrunched her face in confusion and placed her sandwich down.

"So, what is this project that you have been working on?" she asked.

"How about you eat first and then I'll tell you." Tea then pushed the tray away from her a little.

"I'm suddenly not hungry anymore." Atem pushed her tray back to her.

"Oh yes you are, now I promise once you eat something I'll show you your surprise." he said, but said too much and slapped his hand over his mouth. Tea giggled slid closer to him knowing that he had something up his sleeve he was hiding.

"A surprise huh? So what is it?" she asked.

"Uh-uh, I wasn't suppose to even tell you that it was surprise yet. Now eat and I'll show you what it is." Tea sighed and picked her sandwich up again.

"Alright, I guess I have no choice since I can't get anymore clues out of you." Atem chuckled and kissed her cheek.

"That's my girl, I'll even help you eat some of it since I haven't had dinner yet." he said picking up another sandwich.

"Thank-you, I think you brought up a little too much anyway." she said as she pointed at the extra food on the tray and they both started laughing. After they were finished eating, talking and trying to throw grapes into each others mouths, Atem pulled Tea up from the bed and led her out the room to walk down the hall. They stopped at a closed door. Atem stepped in front of Tea opened the door which was pitch black inside, but the only light you could see was coming from the night sky and the glow of the moon shining in through the balcony door. Atem grabbed her hand and pulled her inside.

"Okay, close your eyes." he said. Tea shrugged her shoulders and closed her eyes. Atem flicked the light switch on the wall and stood behind Tea placing his hands on her shoulders.

"Alright, you can open them." he whispered in her ear. Tea slowly opened her eyes and gasped. Along one side of the walls was a shelf full of books decorated with little strings of lights hanging from the top and flowing down. In the middle of the room was a black love seat and a coffee table facing a beautiful, glowing fireplace. All of her possessions were inside including her pictures hanging on the wall and on top of the fireplace, stuffed animals she saved when she was a girl and her ceramic dolls. Tea walked slowly taking in the beautiful scene of the room and turned back to Atem who was waiting for her to say something.

"So what do you think?" he asked. She walked over and hugged him around the waist burying her face in his chest. Atem wrapped his arms around her returning the ebmbrace, but he felt his shirt wet and knew automatically that she was crying. He walked her over to sit on the loveseat and lifted her chin to look at her. Tea leaned up to kiss him deeply and pulled back to smile at him.

"I love it, but you didn't have to do this." she said.

"Nonsense, you live here now so I have to make it like home for you, our home." he said placing his hands on her face wiping her tears away and giving her a slow, passionate kiss that made her breathless when he pulled back away from her slowly. He placed his forehead against hers and they stared at each other with half lidded eyes.

"Our home, this is actually happening, isn't it?" she whispered not believing it was real until she heard it from Atem.

"Yes, it is. It's the start of our adventure together." he said as he wrapped her in another embrace. Two hours consisted of them talking, playing and joking around with each other, occasional make-out moments and curling up together with one of her books. The night ended with Tea falling asleep on Atem's shoulder. He placed the book on the coffee table and gently picked her up bridal-style and carried her into his room, or their room now. He eased her down onto the bed and she gave out a contented sigh as her head hit the pillow. Atem laid next to her and being careful of her arm, he brought her over to his chest. As he laid there with her, he realized just how much relaxing it is having her live with him and he couldn't be happier. He kissed her forehead and closed his eyes to sleep while dreaming of the woman next to him.

Two weeks went by and Atem was leaving to go to the company, but he was reluctant to leave Tea by herself since she had to go to the doctor and get her cast removed. Right now, they were standing at the front door with Atem dressed in a suit and carrying his briefcase in his hand preparing to leave.

"Are you sure you'll be alright? I can easily take off today and go with you." Atem said holding her hand. Tea smiled and shook her head.

"I'll be fine, I'm just going to get my cast taken off. It's nothing life threatening, besides you have a company to run and they need you there to keep it together. I'll be here when you get home." she said. Atem brought his hand up to rub her cheek.

"You'll be here when I get home, I like the sound of that. I'll call Bailey on my way to work and have him take you to the doctor." he said.

"No Atem, don't do that, I was going to take a cab."

"No, you're not. Please, it'll make me feel better if you let Bailey take you that way I know that you're safe." Tea closed her eyes and sighed, but when Atem leaned down to kiss her lips, she knew she couldn't say no. She opened her eyes and smiled.

"Okay, I don't want to have you worry about me, feel better?" Atem nodded.

"Yes I do, I'll be home soon, I love you."

"I love you too." She pulled him down to kiss him. When they broke apart, he left out the door and got inside his car and they waved to each other as he drove away. When Tea closed the door, she finished getting herself ready so she would be on time for the doctor. About twenty minutes later, there was a knock at the door and Tea opened it to reveal Bailey. He took of his hat and bowed to her.

"Hello Miss Tea, I was sent here by Mr. Mutou to take you to the doctor's office. If you're ready, we can get going." he said.

"Yes I'm ready, just let me get my jacket." When she put on her jacket, she walked out the door to the limo sitting outside. Bailey opened the door for her to sit inside before he got inside the driver's side and drove off neither one of them noticing another limo parked behind a large bush. The window rolled down revealing Rachel and she was not a happy camper.

"I don't believe this. She's living with him?! Just you wait little Tea, you may have gotten lucky from the explosion, but I'll make sure you never have anymore free passes when I get finished with you." she sneered.

When Bailey dropped off Tea at the doctor and he gave her the number to his cell to call him when she was ready to leave, she went inside to wait for the doctor to come out after she signed in. Since there wasn't alot of people in the waiting room, she was automatically seen by the doctor. She sat on the bed and waited for a few minutes when she heard the door opening revealing Dr. Hyoga coming inside.

"Hello Ms. Gardner, I see you're doing much better." he said. Tea smiled and nodded.

"Yes I am."

"You must be ready to get that cast off now."

"Uh-huh, I'm starting to forget what my arm looks like." Dr. Hyoga laughed.

"Well, let's get it off before you do." It wasn't long before Tea was finally rid of the cast on her arm. She slowly moved it out to get her muscles working again and Dr. Hyoga had small amounts of pressure to see if there was any remains of pain still existing. Once everything was fine, he gave her some more tips telling her to take it easy and not to overwork herself until she was fully healed. Tea thanked him and called Bailey on her cell phone to come pick her up. She waited for about a minute later and he drove up in front of her to take her back home. He got her home in about ten minutes and he opened the door for her to step out.

"Thank-you Bailey, I hope I wasn't any inconvience to you." she said.

"Not at all Miss Tea, I was happy to do this for you. I will let Mr. Mutou know everything went well."

"Alright and thank-you again Bailey." she said. Tea unlocked the door with the key Atem gave to her and went inside. She sighed as she wondered what she should do while waiting for Atem to get home. She looked at the clock that read twelve 'o clock noon and since she didn't feel like leaving out again, she thought about watching movies for a few hours. An hour later, she heard the mail slot and turned to see a small envelope fall to the floor. She walked over to pick it up and to see it had Atem's name written on it. So she placed it on the coffee table for him to see it when he came home.

Atem was in his office packing up to go home. He couldn't wait to see Tea since she was all he think about all day. Once he made sure he had everything, he walked out of his office to see Katie packing up too and they both went out to the parking lot.

"Another day done, huh Boss?" she asked putting on her coat. Atem nodded.

"Yup, and I'm glad too cause now I can go home to Tea." he said.

"Well then let's get on out of here. How is she doing?"

"Much better, in fact she had her cast taken off today."

"Oh that's great, I'll have to come around to see her sometime. I'm going to go, see ya later Boss." she said as she walked over to her car.

"Alright, see ya." He went over to his car and drove home. It was about twenty minutes when he arrived and grabbed his things to go inside. All was quiet when he opened the door, but there was a delicious aroma in the air and figured that Tea was cooking. He closed the door, took off his jacket and walked in the to see Tea standing by the stove and he slowly walked behind her to wrap his arms around her waist while kissing her neck. She gasped in surprise which turned into a moan and turned her head to kiss Atem. She pulled back slowly and smiled.

"Hi, I didn't hear you come in."

"Well I wanted to give you a surprise greeting. How is your arm?" he asked.

"It's still feels a little stiff, but it's getting alot better." Atem took a whif of the food she was cooking and smiled.

"It smells good, what are you making?" Tea giggled.

"I'm making chicken curry and onigiri." Atem's eyes widened when he heard her say curry.

"Uh, this curry isn't spicy, is it?" Tea blinked in confusion and shook her head.

"No, I always make my curry mild." Atem sighed in relief and placed his head on her shoulder.

"Oh good, the first time I ate curry was when Katie made it when she invited me over for dinner one night and she made it so spicy, I had nightmares of that stuff for about a year." he said. Tea snickered.

"Well, I guess we have something else in common. Oh, before I forget, there was a letter in the mail slot for you. I put it on the coffee table." Atem kissed her cheek.

"Okay, I'll read it now." He walked in the living room and pick up the small envelope on the table. When he opened it to read it, his facial expression turned from happy, to down right anger and he clenched the paper in his hand as he read more of the letter. Tea turned to put the food on the table and noticed how angry Atem was all of a sudden. She walked over to him slowly and placed her hand on his arm.

"Atem, what's wrong are you okay?" she asked. Atem sighed and folded up the letter back up.

"Yeah, it's just this letter is an invitation to that annual company party that's next week. I just hate to go every year and having to deal with those snobby people who will do anything they can just to get rich." he said as he sat down on the sofa. Tea sat next to him and rubbed his arm.

"Is this the same one you told me about?" Atem nodded.

"Yeah, I don't want to go, but I have to. Hey, would you like to go with me?"

"Is that okay? I don't exactly own a company you know." she said. Atem laughed.

"I know, you'll be going as my date."

"Yeah, but I would have to get a dress and-"

"I'll take care of all that." Tea sighed and smiled at Atem who was waiting for her answer.

"Alright, I'll go. Now c'mon before the food gets cold." she said as she stood up and walked back in the to the table with Atem following her and sat down together to enjoy their dinner.

A week passed and it was the night of the company party. Atem was dressed in a black designer suit and he was waiting for Tea to come downstairs so they could leave. Suddenly he heard footsteps and when he turned to the stairs, he stood looking at Tea amazed. She was dressed in a dark blue knee length dress with a light blue sash wrapped gently around her neck and her glittering heels. Her hair was wrapped in a bun with her bangs flowing down the side of her face. Atem walked over to her and held her hands in his.

"You look absolutely beautiful." he whispered. Tea smiled while having a small blush appear on her face.

"Thank-you, you look nice yourself." she said. Atem chuckled and kissed her cheek.

"Ready to go?" he asked. Tea nodded and followed him out the door to his car. They drove for about forty minutes until they arrived at huge mansion where people was going inside. Tea was amazed at how big it was when she stepped out the car. She felt Atem's arm around her and looked up to him.

"Are we in the right place?" she asked. Atem smiled and nodded.

"Yup, let's go on inside. The sooner we go in, the sooner we can leave." They went up the steps to find a butler at the door with a checklist.

"Name sir." he said.

"Mutou and guest." Atem said. He read the list for his name and then allowed Atem and Tea inside. They walked over to an empty table for two near the side door that led to a balcony. As they were talking, they failed to notice two figures in the shadows watching them.

"See, I told you he would bring her, now we just have to separate them." said Rachel.

"How exactly are we going to do that? They're always stuck together." said Renku.

"Don't you worry about that, I'll think of something."

It was an hour later and Atem and Tea were enjoying their time together when they were interrupted by someone walking over to the table.

"Mr. Mutou?" Atem looked up to see a familiar face.

"Akiyoshi Ookami, how are you?" he stood up to shake his hand.

"I'm fine, just fine. I wanted to come over and say hello. Oh, and who's this?" he asked.

"This is my date Tea, she's very special to me." he said while Tea blushed.

"It's very nice to meet you Mr. Ookami." she said.

"Likewise young lady, I guess that means that you and my daughter are not getting married." he said. Tea turned to Atem confused and then back to Akiyoshi.

"No, I already found my one and only."

"Well that's alright, I wouldn't want to have you forced into a marriage you're not comfortable with. Besides, I have found a great partner to work with me in my company and it's going to be back on top very soon." he said.

"That's great, I'm very happy for you." said Atem.

"Wait, I don't mean to interrupt, but are you telling me that you're Rachel's father?" Tea asked.

"Yes I am. Do you know my daughter?" Akiyoshi asked.

"Well, let's just say she's not my favorite person. Um Atem, I'm a little parched so I'm gonna go get something to drink." she said and then walked over to the punch bowl. Akiyoshi turned to Atem when Tea was gone.

"Did my daughter do something that made her upset?" he asked. Atem sighed and nodded.

"Yes, we had a little run in with her a few weeks ago and she's done nothing but cause trouble." he said. As they continued talking, Renku and Rachel were watching them from the corner of the room.

"She's over at the punch bowl and no one's around. This is the perfect chance to get her." Renku nodded and smirked. He snuck around the room unnoticed and walked quietly behind Tea. As she finished filling up her cup, Tea's mouth was covered by a hand tightly and she was being carried away. Since everyone was busy talking, they didn't notice the danger she was in.

As Atem was talking to Akiyoshi, he felt a pain go through him and he placed a hand on his chest. He was afraid because it was the same pain he experienced when Tea was in trouble. He was about to go look for her when he felt Rachel come and hug his arm.

"Hello, are you two talking about me?" she asked.

"Rachel, I think you have some explaining to do. Have you been giving trouble to Atem and his companion?" Akiyoshi asked while folding his arms. Rachel gave out a fake dramatic gasp and placed her hand to her mouth.

"Why Father, I would never think to do that." she said.

Renku opened one of the empty rooms in the mansion and pushed Tea inside. He closed the door and locked while turning around to face her. Tea backed up against the wall when Renku walked closer to her.

"Well, you sure look sexy in that dress Tea." Renku said with lust filled eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

"My uncle is here for some company merger and brought me along with him. I guess it's my lucky day that you showed up with that asshole tonight." He was about to put his hand on Tea's arm when she slapped his face hard creating a red mark.

"Don't you dare touch me." she hissed. Renku slowly turned his head to her and grabbed her wrist hard to lift them above her head. Tea struggled with all of her might, but she wasn't able to break free from his grip.

"You're much more fiestier now since we broke up, all the more reason to make me get rid of you. If I can't have you, then I'll make sure that he won't have you either." he said as he pulled out a knife out of his pocket and aim it at Tea's heart. This made Tea struggle much more.

"Let go of me! LET GOOOOOO!" she screamed.

Atem clenched his chest when the pain came back, but this time it was more intense than ever. He hunched over leaning on the table and Akiyoshi kept him steady.

"Atem, are you alright?" Atem looked around the dining area, but he wasn't able to find Tea around.

"Where's Tea?" he asked weakly.

"Oh dear, she must have left. Hm, oh well you don't need her anyway Atem. Just goes to show you that doesn't care about you, who knows she probably left with someone." Rachel said with a smirk. Atem took a few deep breaths and he stood up with the pain still in his chest and walked over to Rachel. He grabbed her arm tightly making her wince.

"She didn't just leave, something happened to her and you know exactly where she is, don't you Rachel? You better tell where she is right now." he said while adding more pressure to her arm. Rachel gasp in pain and tried to free her arm, but Atem wasn't having that so she just confessed.

"She's upstairs in one of the rooms." Atem let go of her arm and ran up the stairs skipping two at a time with Akiyoshi following him. Atem opened every door trying to find Tea when he finally heard her scream in one of the rooms. He tried to open the door, but it was locked so he stepped back and rammed into the door with his shoulder until it was open. When he saw Renku trapping Tea against the wall holding a knife to her, he ran inside and tackled him to the ground which made him drop the knife from his hand. Tea slid to the floor watching the both of them fight and Akiyoshi leaned down to help her up.

"Are you alright young lady?" he asked. Tea nodded her head, but the pain in her head came again and she clutched it with her hand. Atem picked up Renku from the floor and pushed him to the wall.

"You sick son of a bitch, I told you not to come near Tea again. How did you get in here anyway?!" he asked slamming him into the wall again. Akiyoshi looked up to Atem and Renku confused.

"Renku, what is going on here?" he asked. Atem and Tea gasped.

"You know him?" Tea asked.

"Yes, he's my nephew." he said.

"Renku you ass, you didn't get rid of her fast enough." They all turned to see Rachel standing by the door with a glare. Tea's head was like a million needles were piercing through her skull and she screamed in pain. Flashes of the explosion came back to her again. The scenes were spinning faster and faster and the dark figures were becoming much clearer. She could see their faces and as the haze was clearing up, the figures revealed to be...

"You." Tea whispered as she let go of her head and turned to Renku and Rachel.

"It was you two I saw that night." she said a little louder. Rachel scoffed at her.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yes you do, you and Renku were the ones that caused that explosion in the cafe and you were the ones that were outside the window!" she yelled.

"I told you she saw us Rachel." said Renku. Atem growled with so much anger that he punched Renku so hard he flew across the room.

"YOU BASTARD!" Atem was about to go after him again when Akiyoshi stepped in front of him.

"You two better start explaining. Do you have any idea the damage that you've caused? Not only have you broken the law, but you put an innocent woman's life in danger." he said demanding.

"That was the idea, Father Dear. Renku, let's get out of here." Rachel said. She and Renku ran out of the room down the hall to escape.

"STOP YOU TWO!" said Akiyoshi as he followed them out the room. Atem turned to Tea who was sitting on the floor with a blank look on her face. He walked over to help her up.

"Are you okay?" he asked. Tea nodded her head slowly.

"I want to go home." she whispered. Atem wrapped his arm around her and they left the room to leave the mansion. When they were outside, they found Akiyoshi talking on his cell phone to the police. He hung up the phone and turned to the both of them.

"They got away, I'm so sorry that this happened and I am really sorry for what they tried to do to you Ms. Tea." he said. Tea just stood there not saying anything so Atem spoke for her.

"Uh, she's still in shock. I'm going to take her home and thank-you Akiyoshi for trying to stop them." Akiyoshi nodded and Atem walked with Tea over to his car to drive home. They finally got home and opened the door to walk inside taking off their shoes at the door. Tea walked upstairs to the bedroom with Atem following her. He found Tea sitting on the bed with her hands folded in her lap. He took off his suit jacket and unbuttoned a few of his shirt buttons and sat next to her. It was nothing but silence for a few minutes when suddenly Tea stood up and walked over to the closet to pull out her suitcase. Atem stood up when she started packing her clothes.

"Tea, what are you doing?" he asked. Tea looked up to Atem.

"Atem, I can't stay here anymore. I have to go." she said as she packed her clothes. Atem went over to put his hands on her arms which caused her to drop her suitcase and clothes.

"What do you mean you can't stay here? This is your home here with me Tea, our home." Tea glared at him while tears streaked down her face.

"Don't you understand?! I can't stay here with you! We just found out tonight that Renku and Rachel are cousins and they are still out there! They have been plotting to separate us since day one! They are dangerous, they tried to kill me and there is no telling what they are going to do next and I'll be damned if I let them hurt you! I love you too much to let that happen so if I leave now, then they won't hurt us anymore!" she yelled and then struggled against Atem's grip, but he pulled her in to embrace her.

"So you're just going to throw everything we have away? Is that really what you want to do? I felt you tonight, you were in trouble and I felt you. You and I have a strong connection and I don't care what happens or who doesn't want us together. I love you and I am not going to let you out of my life." he whispered to her. Tea closed her eyes and leaned into his chest and she wrapped her arms around him to return his embrace. Atem moved his head down to place kisses on her neck bringing out a moan from her lips. He slowly moved up to her ear and he nipped it gently while whispering in her ear.

"Do you want me?" he whispered while kissing her neck again. Tea moaned in response and nodded her head. She suddenly felt her body grow hot and her panties growing wet just by listening to Atem's arousing voice. Atem kissed up her neck to her jaw until he reached her lips and he slowly pressed hip lips against hers. Tea wrapped her arms around Atem's neck as the kiss was getting more heated. He licked the bottom of her lip to ask for entrance which Tea granted by opening her mouth and they both let out a moan when their tongues met. They broke the kiss when the air was running out and they stared at each others' eyes both holding love, passion, and lust. Atem slowly traveled his hands to the back of her dress to pull down the zipper and it fell to the floor like a feather. He stared at her round breasts, curvy hips and long legs and felt himself grow hard from the sight of her. Tea was a little nervous from his eyes and reached up to cover her chest, but Atem stopped her by gently placing his hands on her wrist.

"Don't feel like you have to hide yourself from me, you're beautiful." he said. Tea nodded and placed her hands on his chest. Atem saw the look in her eyes of what she wanted to do and covered her hands with his.

"It's your turn, undress me." Tea looked up to his face and then slowly unbuttoned his shirt. When she was finished, she pushed it from his shoulders and gazed at his hard, muscled chest. She couldn't help but run her hands over him admiring the sight of him.

"I've always wanted to feel your chest, you're so gorgeous." she said. She ran her hands down to his stomach until she reached down to his pants. She looked up to Atem as if asking if it was okay and he nodded to her. She then unbuckled his belt and unbuttoned his pants letting them fall down to the floor. Atem stepped out of them and slid his hands down to her breast to kneed it gently which brought a moan from her. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her to the bed. Tea gave out a contented sigh as her head hit the pillow and Atem kissed her lips again. He leaned down and licked her nipple with his tongue while rubbing the other one with his hand. Tea let out gasp in pleasure and arched her back for Atem to take in more of her. He switched to lick her right breast while kneading the left one. Atem kissed down her stomach and slid his hands down to her waist to pull off her panties. He pulled her legs apart and kissed her inner thighs and licked her womanhood which made Tea moan loudly with pleasure. She placed her hands in his hair as she arched her back.

"Oooh...Atem." she moaned. As Atem was licking her, he put two of his fingers to rub her womanhood giving Tea more pleasure. A few more licks from Atem sent Tea over the edge and she came. Atem licked up all of her juices and moved up to kiss her giving her a taste of herself. He broke the kiss and looked at her flushed face.

"Do you want to continue? We can stop if you want." he asked. Tea was still panting, but she shook her head no and guided her hands to his waist to pull off his boxers. Once they were off, she got a look of his manhood and blushed at how big and hard he was. She looked up to him when he waited for her to tell him what she wanted.

"I want this, I want you. I know now that this is where I belong." she said. Atem smiled and kissed her with so much passion and he got in between her legs lining up his manhood to her womanhood. He glanced back to her again.

"Tea, are you..." She nodded knowing what he was asking if this was her first time. He carefully slid inside her of stretching her and she bit her bottom lip to keep herself from moaning in pain. Atem then thrust quickly inside of her and Tea scream in pain which was muffled when Atem kissed her lips and keeping still until she was used to his size. He pulled back to see tears leaking out of eyes and he kissed them away.

"I'm so sorry." he said. Tea smiled and placed her hand on his face to rub it.

"It's okay, you can move now it's starting to feel good now." she said. Atem slid out of her until only his tip was left and he slammed back into her making the both of them moan. Tea wrapped her legs around him to bring him more closer to him while Atem slid his hands to her hips and thrust into her a little faster making Tea scream as he gave her so much pleasure. Sweat was building up between the two of as they were both aiming for release.

"A-Atem!"

Atem thrust much more faster and harder bringing them both to a sweet release.

"ATEM!" Tea screamed as she came hard with Atem following her shooting his seed into her womb.

Atem collapsed on his side of the bed bringing Tea over to lay on his chest as they were panting trying to catch their breath. Atem looked down and ran his fingers through her hair.

"You alright?" he whispered. Tea lifted her head off his chest and nodded while giving him a tired smile.

"Yes, that was amazing." she whispered back.

"Do you still want to leave?" he asked. Tea leaned up and kissed him passionately. She pulled back to answer him.

"No, I belong here with you. I can't imagine myself leaving you." Atem smiled and kissed her forehead while placing the blankets on the both of them. They gave each other one more kiss before going to sleep dreaming of each other.
