Chapter 26

A Secret Discovered

Atem sat in the living room watching as each of his guardians come in. Yugi appeared beside him. Bakura, Pegasus, Ishizu who was now sharing a body with Isis, Merick, and Odion came as well.

/Are you sure about doing this? I mean these are Tea's cards and you didn't even ask./ Yugi said, crossing his arms.

Atem sighed and nodded his head.

/I have to Yugi. We need to know what is going on and Tea's cards may have the answers./ Atem said.

Atem set the three cards in a straight line on the floor. He then reached his deck and took out two of his cards. And place them down.

"I'm glad you guys came." Atem said.

Atem turned in searched for Seth.

"Where is Seth?" Atem asked.

All of sudden the doorbell rang and Shimmon disappeared and Seth and Mokuba came in through the door.

"Sorry pharaoh. Mokuba insisted he stays with me." Seth said.

Atem smiled at Mokuba and he just glared at the pharaoh and the personal guards, the Ishitars, Pegasus, and Bakura.

"I just came to keep an eye on my brothers body. I don't want any damage done to it." Mokuba said.

Seth just sighed.

"I've told you. Nothing is gonna happen and don't you have a project in Tech. Science for school do." Seth said.

"First of all you could ruin my brother's rep. Second I have a 4.0 in that class and the project isn't due until next month. Third how can I trust you after what you- no what you all did." Mokuba argue.

Seth shook his head and Atem had to try not to laugh out loud. He turned his attention in the full room.

"How is Tea?" Mokuba asked.

"She's recovering. I'm not sure when she'll wake up." Atem said, frowning.

"So you're keeping her close and what about her folks I'm sure they're worried." Said Bakura.

Atem shook his head.

"I couldn't reach them." Atem said.

"You couldn't reach them." Said Mokuba.

"Yes. I've left a ton of messages and still no called backs or anything. I'm not even sure if she has any parents at all." Said Atem.

Merick and Odion looked up in shock.

"Why do you figure that?" Odion question.

"I took a look in her house and saw most of the pictures of her and none of her parents. " Atem said.

Atem felt Yugi to continue.

"Well except one." Atem said.

He took a picture out of his pocket to show a little baby girl, a lady with long brown hair with chocolate brown eyes, and a man with dirty blond hair and ocean blue eyes.

"So this was in the house." Said Merick, taking the picture in his hands.

"It was actually in her pants pocket." Atem said.

"This doesn't prove that Tea is alone." Mokuba said.

He took the picture from Merick.

"It could be that her parents are busy. My brother Seto is always busy." Mokuba said.

"That's not the only thing that led me to it." Atem said, taking out paper that is folded up.

He handed the paper to Odion and there was a gasp.

"This is a news paper article with the man and woman picture in it." Said Odion.

"Yes, it says there was a fire that killed the parents, but they couldn't find the girl's body that was there." Said Atem.

"So you think Tea lives alone." Said Merick.

"I'm guessing she does." Said Atem.

All of sudden a glow came from the cards. Five figures came forth. The five of them bowed to Atem and nodded to everyone else. The first woman took a step towards the group.

"What you say is true." Scarlet said.

She looked straight into his eyes.

"Even when we were separated we knew she had no family. How she's made this far without anyone noticing is a mystery to us." Said Scarlet, pointing to herself and the other two females behind her.

"Before we tell you what the visions mean and also the new enemy. We have a request." Said Whita.

"What is that?" Atem question.

"Please keep her safe." Said Darka.

Tea groaned as she woke up. She rubbed her head. She looked around and her eyes widen at the realization of it being Yugi's room.

"Hey what am I doing here?" Tea question.

"Good morning?" A hyper voice said.

Tea jumped and turned to see Mana smiling at her.

"Oh…good morning." Tea said.

"Glad you're up. Everyone's was wondering if you would ever wake up." Mana said.

Mana turned and brought up a tray and placed it on the bed.

"Hope you're hungry." Mana said.

"Hey weren't you in the card." Said Tea.

"I was, but thanks to Millennium Items and us being free spirits we don't have to worry about that." Said Mana.

"Oh. Does it work for the three witch cards." Tea asked.

Mana frowned and shook her head.

"Afraid not." Mana said.

Tea nodded and looked down at her plate of food.

"Well eat up. Atem is downstairs and waiting for you." Said Mana.

She got up and left Tea alone for her to finished her meal.

Tea began to nimble away on her breakfast.

Those poor spirits. There stuck in those cards. Thought Tea.

"I'll do anything to set them free." Tea mumble to herself.

"Careful what you say. You might end up getting killed." Said Mahad, coming out of the shadows.

"How long have you been here?" Tea question.

"Just got here. Pharaoh Atem has asked me to keep an eye on you." Said Mahad.

"I'll be down in a couple of minutes to meet him. If he is so worry why didn't he come up himself." Tea complained.

"He had to take care some things with the other priests." Answer Mahad.

Tea groaned loudly.

"Typical." Tea muttered.

"What was that?" Mahad question.

"Um….Nothing." Tea said.

"Right well. Be careful what you say about that." Said Mahad.

"Why?" Tea asked.

"Well Pharaoh Atem did almost the exact same thing when he rescue Egypt and it cost him to have his spirit in the Millennium Puzzle so long." Said Mahad.

"I just feel bad for them." Tea said.

"I know the feeling I felt bad I couldn't help pharaoh out because- well I'm sure you know." Mahad said.

Tea of course nodded.

"Well just be careful." Said Mahad.

Tea giggled a little.

"You know this is kind of funny. First we- well you want to get rid of me along with Atem and now you guys want to help out." Said Tea.

"Yes, but you got rid of your memories of your adventures with the pharaoh and also of your friends." Mahad said, crossing his arms.

Tea looked down at her legs.

"So is that why Atem wanted to get rid of me in the first place." Tea said.

Mahad said nothing and looked down.

"Eat your meal pharaoh is waiting for you downstairs." Said Mahad.

He got up and left the room.

So that was why he went after me. It was because I hurt him. Tea thought.

She shook her head.

Tea reached for the phone in her back pocket.

"Wow fifty text and missed calls from Tom, Serenity, and Mai." Said Tea.

I wonder if everyone else is busy or something. Tea thought.

She scanned down in search for Destiny's calls and gasped.

This maybe nothing, but she would usually call or text me. This isn't like her- well not in the last life at least. I hope she's okay. Tea thought.

That's it for this chapter. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.
