Hello readers, I know I know it's been a while

Bakura: Three monthes. Tsk Tsk

Me:Shut up! I lost interest in this story for a while, but fear not! I'm back and I plan to work on it more.

Valon:Here here. Angle does not own Yugioh or any of its characters. Also, no flames. Constructive criticism and good comments please. Thank you

Me:Now get reading ^-^

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF RA!"

Bakura yelled as he covered his eyes. Rebecca looked innocently at him, as if she had done nothing wrong.

"Oh come on Bakura, it's just mace."

"WELL IT FUCKING HURTS!"

At that moment, Yami, Joey, Tristan, Duke, and Professor Hawkins ran into the room, to see what all the yelling was about. Tristan raised an eyebrow at Rebecca.

"Rebecca, what did you do?"

She smiled sweetly at him.

"All I did was spray mace at him."

"You did? Well good job."

Professor Hawkins frowned at them.

"Now Rebecca, why did you spray mace at him?"

"I was in the bathroom and he walked in."

Bakura glared at Rebecca even harder.

"I didn't know you were in there!"

"You could have knocked! You pedophile!"

"I am not a pedophile! And I'm gay!"

Joey stifled a laugh. Yami had to give him a nudge to stop laughing. Bakura whirled on him.

"And why are you laughing, you puppy?"

"Hey, who are you calling a puppy!" Joey yelled

Yami sighed and decided to play peace keeper for a few minutes. Getting between Bakura and Joey, he held up his hands.

"Alright everyone, lets calm down and think of how to get Tea back."

Both boys grudgingly nodded and sat down at the table. Duke sighed in relief, seeing how things didn't get out of hand. Once everyone sat down, Yami began to speak.

"We need to figure out where they took her."

"Thank you captain obvious." Bakura sneered.

Joey glared at him.

"Bakura, shut up. This is important."

Bakura shrugged his shoulders and slouched in his seat. Yami resumed what he had been saying.

"I've asked Kaiba for help, but he said it wasn't his problem."

"Figures." Joey snorted.

"But Mokuba kindly agreed to help us. Since he considers Tea like a sister." Yami finished.

Everyone sighed in relief(minus Bakura), glad to know that at least someone was kind enough to help them. Duke looked up.

"So how is Mokuba going to help us?"

"I believe he sent someone out to gather information about the enemies where abouts."

Duke nodded.

"Has there been any word from Mokuba yet?" He asked

Yami shook his head. "No, nothing yet, but it shouldn't be too long before we do. I hope."

"Valon...Valon...where are you?"

Tea was busy searching around the manor, looking for the brunette motorcycle riding boy. So far, she had no luck in finding him, much to her disappointment. She went into the kitchen to see Raphael making lunch.

"Hey Raphael." she said cheerfully

"Hello Tea."

"Have you seen Valon anywhere?"

"I haven't seen him since breakfast."

"Oh...Ok, thanks for telling me."

"Mhm.

Tea walked briskly out of the kitchen and into the hallway. She walked into the garage to see Alistair fixing something on his bike.

"Hey Alistair."

Alistair looked up from what he was doing and gave her a smile.

"Oh hey Tea."

"Have you seen Valon?"

"No, but last time I saw him, he was with Mai."

"Ok, I'll go see her now."

Alistair gave a smile and waved at her as she walked away. It was hard not to like this girl. Even if she was the friend of your enemy. Tea continued her way to find Valon. She found Mai in her room, painting her nails black. She smirked when she saw Tea.

"Hey Tea. What can I do for you?"

"Hey Mai, have you seen Valon?"

"He was here, but then he left."

"Dang it! He's always disappearing!"

"That's Valon for you."

Tea turned out of the room and walked down the hallway. She wondered if Valon left the island to go do...Dartz's bidding. She shivered and frowned. She had never seen Valon duel before and surprisingly, she wanted to see it. She knew when Mai had her duel with Joey, she was a completely different person.

'If Mai acted different, does that mean Valon would to?' she thought to herself.

"Hey Tea! Tea! Wait up!"

Tea turned around to see Valon running up to her with a grin on his face. Tea felt her spirits rise up at the sight of her friend. Valon grinned at her.

"Hey Tea, I heard you were looking for me."

"Yeah, I couldn't find you and I...I..."

"Yes bird?"

"I...I..."

"What did you want?"

"I wanted ...to see more of the island."

She didn't know why she was blushing. This was her friend for heaven's sake. She shouldn't blush around a friend. Valon grinned at her.

"Of course I will! I was meaning to do that anyway!"

"Really? You will?"

"Yup! It's a really cool place and I can show you some of my favorite places."

"Sweet! Lets go right now!"

Valon laughed and followed Tea outside to where his motorcycle was. He climbed on and handed her the helmet. She gratefully took it and wrapped her arms around his waist. Valon felt a tingle in his chest at the feeling of having her arms around his waist. Starting the engine, he took off and thus, the tour began.

"Hey Mai, what are you staring at?" Alistair asked

Mai turned around to face the red head with a victorious smirk on her face.

"I know something you guys don't."

"And what is that?" Raphael asked, not looking up from his lunch

"Valon is in love!"

Raphael nearly spit out his lunch and Alistair rolled his eyes. Mai snickered at them. Raphael gave her a look. "Mai be serious. There is no way Valon could be in love."

"But he is. Can't you two see it? Or are you both blind?"

Raphael gave Mai a scathing look. Alistair sighed and sat down in a chair, taking a long sip of sake. He did not know where Mai came up with these ridiculous thoughts. He looked at Mai out of the corner of his eye.

"Mai, how is our Valon in love?"

"You haven't seen the looks he gives Tea?"

"He gives Tea looks?"

"Yes. And haven't you noticed how protective he gets over her?"

Alistair thought about that for a moment. It was true, he had noticed that whenever Tea was around, he seemed even more lively and happy than her normally was. But it couldn't be love...the two of them barely knew each other. They had only met a few days ago. Alistair didn't believe in love at first sight, but he still couldn't shake off the vibe that Valon liked Tea. Raphael was apparently thinking the same thing.

"Mai, Tea and Valon barely know each other. They can't possibly be in love." He said calmly. Alistair nodded in agreement.

"Raph is right Mai. There is no such thing as love at first sight."

Mai snorted. "Proves what you know."

She turned out of the room with a smirk on her face. It didn't matter if those two dolts didn't see it now, they would see it later. After all, it wouldn't be too long before Valon admitted to his feelings, if he hadn't already.

"OH MY GOSH VALON! THE ISLAND IS BEAUTIFUL!"

Valon smiled. "I know right! See that water over there? I go swimming in it sometimes."

"Cool." Tea laughed. "I could go for a small dip."

"Really? Well ok then."

Valon stopped his motorcycle near the pool of water. Getting off the motorcycle, he extended a hand out to Tea.

"May I help you dear lady?" He jokingly asked

Tea grinned and played along. "Why of course you may."

She took his hand. And she had to admit, she liked the way his hand felt, rough and soft at the same time. Much like his personality. They walked over to the water. To Tea, this was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Like something you see out of a postcard, yet it had been untouched by mankind. Tea liked how lily's and other flowers grew along the banks, and how a waterfall flowed from two rocks. Simply enchanting.

"Like what you see Tea?"

She grinned at Valon. "I like it a lot. I've never seen something like this."

"Really?"

"Really, I've been to Pegasus Island and it's not that beautiful."

Valon laughed, causing her to laugh as well. He let go of her hand, much to her disappointment.

"Tea, you're even more fun than Mai."

Tea blushed. She didn't think she compared to Mai. Mai was independent, sexy, and a little selfish, she would admit that. And Tea was just...Tea. Energetic, caring, and a total friendship preacher. Honestly, how was she ever going to find someone if all she did was preach friendship? Tea was going to respond to Valon when she saw him take his shirt off. Her face turned pink. He had nice abbes. Really nice abbes. Valon let out a cheer and jumped into the water. When he resurfaced, he waved at her.

"Come on in! The water is really nice!"

Tea pondered over this for a minute. Should she take her shirt off or stay in it? She didn't want Valon to see her boobs, but she also didn't want to get sick later on. Deciding on getting sick later on, she jumped into the water. Valon was right, the water was nice. Valon waited for her as she resurfaced.

"Valon, you were right!"

"Aren't I always?"

"Getting cocky there aren't we?"

"Hmmmm maybe."

Tea laughed and splashed water at him. He grinned and rose to her challenge. Gathering up some water, he threw it at her. Tea squealed and splashed back The two of them went back and forth and back and forth until Valon ducked underneath the water. Tea raised an eyebrow.

'What on earth was he up to' she thought to herself.

Her question was soon answered. Valon grabbed her by the ankle and pulled her underneath the water. By the time she came back up he was laughing so hard, his face was red. Tea swam over and tackled him by jumping on his back. He grinned at her.

"Aren't you a little monkey?"

"Very funny Valon."

"Wasn't it though?"

The two of them stayed in the water for a while. Swimming, playing around as if they had been friends for years instead of days. After a while Tea got out of the water and laid on the flower bank, staring at the sun. Valon laid down next to her shortly. He looked at her, and felt his heart ache. She was beautiful. Maybe he had said that a few times already, but to him, it never got old. He could go on and on about how beautiful she was. Especially right now.

"Valon?"

"Hm?"

"What's it like in the whole Doma warrior thing?"

"Well, we fight people who have done wrong and the ones that deserve to be punished. I feel pretty important knowing that I'm helping the world get rid of evil people."

Tea didn't say anything. From what she had noticed, they weren't doing that at all. From her point of view, they were just hurting innocent people. And that wasn't right.

"Valon, can I ask you something?"

"Of course Tea."

"What was your past like?"

Valon stiffened. He didn't want her to know his past. He didn't want to talk about it, but he had told her enough times that she would know later. It was time to tell her.

"Well since your really want to know, it began in Australia ten years ago..."

YAY! We finnaly heard from Yami and the others. I fear this chapter was short, but I plan to make the next one longer. But no promises. Review!
