I own nothing except the Gardner brothers and the plot.


Recap:

"Now we have that settled,did you say Marco a little while ago ago?" Kyler asked, not bothering looking at Eli's mid-evil glare from the head-slap he just received.

"Yes we did, why do you asked?" Crow asked with a confused look. The Gardener brothers looked at each other and sighed and looked back at the group.

"The reason why we asked is because Marco is Tea's uncle."Kyler said causing the other go into confusion and shock.


Everyone except Eli and Kyler were in confusion and shock. The person who tried to kill Tea is... her uncle?

" But wait if Marco is Tea's uncle, why is he trying to kill her?" Jack asked with a confused look on his face. Eli sighed and looked over at Jack with depressed look, it looked as though he didn't want to talk about it, but he had to.

"Well he is blood-related to her, but he never acted liked it. Her dad didn't want him around because how her uncle reactes around her mother." Eli said staring at Tea with a tearful look.

" Why are you not addressing Tea's parents and uncle as your uncle and parents?" Crow asked with a confused look on his face.

"We are Tea's blood-related brothers, we are her adopted brothers" Kyler said with a sad look, " our biological parents died when we were 4, we were left to wonder and fend for ourselves we did that routine for 2 years, until one day we ran into "pirates" so to speak, but anyway we were about to be sold into slavery when a kind and beautiful woman stepped up and offered to adopt us, she was Tea's mom." Kyler started to explain when he turned to Eli and told continue when he deceided that he needed to go and get something from Tea's room.

" The people who were about to sell us into slavery told Mom that she couldn't adopt us alone, that's when Dad stood up and offered to adopt us as well that's when Mom and Dad love for each other started we weren't the only one who saw the connection between Mom and Dad grow Dad's brother, Marco, started to see it as well and Mom was trying to connect with everyone on Dad's side of the family and Marco started to fall for Mom as well, when Dad and Marco both decided to ask her out, they had Mom chose who she wanted to be with she well... chose to date Dad, and 2 years later they got into a silly agruement and Marco thought she would go into his arms, but after thinking about for a couple of hours she walked under a 500 year old tree, that was treated by the graveyard undertaker that was 4 blockes away, Dad felt bad and to make up for his mistake he proposed which was what he was going to do earlier that day, and she acepted the proposal." Eli continued, causing Akiza and Luna went into a state of awe on that part of the story.

" That was so romantic." Akiza said with a light blush putting herself in that postition with Yusei.

" That is so sweet." Luna said with stars in her eyes.

" Oh please Luna that's sissy stuff." Leo said handing her Anna-Marie, and pouted lightly causing the others to laugh lightly.

"It sounds like it yes, but it sounded like a girly thing but because she accepted the proposal Tea was born, but Marco got so jelous he said that we would kill any offspring that Dad and Mom would have and then kill Mom and make Dad watch, Dad was so frightened when Marco made this threat he took Mom and Eli and myself and moved to the outskrits of Domino City and Mom gave birth to Tea, but the happy feeling we all had when Tea was born didn't last for very long when "Uncle" Marco walked through the door, Tea didn't know what was going on but Mom believed that she felt a terrible feeling from Marco and she started to cry and wail, Marco started to yell at Dad for being so irresponsible for getting Mom pregnate, and then the doctors came in." Kyler took over to give Eli a break from talking.

" But why did Marco get so mad, he knew Tea's mom was already married?" Yusei asked not getting that part of the story.

"We were waiting for someone to ask that question, the reason why is because Tea looks identical to Mom" Kyler said showing a picture that Tea drew this morning," Tea drew this morning, of course when Mom and Dad died Tea was to young to remember it, but one mark on Tea will constantly remind us that Marco is nothing but a murder."

"What clue?" Luna asked.

"I'll explain that later but for now let us continue with the story"Eli said, " when Tea was 4 she was playing with the forest animals that always come around the house, somehow she manged to befriend them, when Marco came out of no where and threw a knife at her, with the help of the animals she was friends with she got away but sadly slipped and fell on her head, if it wasn't for two little bluebirds she would have died."

"Why?" Atem said, who was staring at Tea the whole time, looked at Eli with an angry looked on his face.

"The two bluebirds went and got Dad and lead him to Tea just when she got knocked out" Kyler said walking over to Atem and placing a hand on his shoulder,"I know you're mad about what happened and so were we, but we need to relax okay?" when Kyler got a nod from Atem, Kyler went on to explain the rest of the story.

" Anyway Tea was in a coma for 6 months, until her birthday, when Tea went home the night of her birthday, Marco was waiting for us to come home and wait for us to go to sleep, and when we did he set the house on fire. Dad gave us Tea and told us to leave the burning house and raise and protect Tea with our lives, our love, and our care, and when we promised him this he knocked down the window in our room and threw us out of it, we kept our promise and raised and protected Tea for tweleve years, we haven't seen or heard of Marco until today." Kyler said finishing the story causing the others to look a little less confused.

"Now the story is done the clue you all were asking for..." Eli trailed off, he got up and walked over to Tea and gently lifting her up into his arms and carried her over to Kyler, together they gently without waking her took off her jacket, and lifted her blue tank top to where it wasn't where it wasn't revealing anything but revealed enough. On Tea's waist and back was a huge scar (A/N: think of Sango's scar in Inuyasha, the scar on her waist is the same way, but around her waist and to her back.), everyone was to shock to say anything, Kyler pulled down her tank top and laid her down on the couch again, and went back to their spots when the story began.

" H-How d-di-did she get that sc-scar?" Akiza asked scared out of mind she couldn't even get the question out. Yusei put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his chest to calm her down, and for a little while in that position it seemed to have worked.

"Sadly we don't know, she had that mark when Dad handed her to us." Kyler said with a sad expression. Atem looked confused about something but stopped for a minute.

" Is there something we can help you with Atem?" Eli and Kyler said at the same time.

" Yeah actually there is, when I went on my da- friendly outing with Tea, she had a crunch top on and I didn't see that scar. Why is that?" He asked with curiously.

" Yeah, she covered her scars with make-up before she left for your date with her... and don't deny it was a date, she never got that dressed up for just to go on a 'friendly outing'." Kyler said with a gentle smile and a little glimmer in his eyes.
