Chapter 2

From behind the man there was another wavering of shadows until another man with a white turban and robe and blue eyes without pupils stepped out with a set of gold scales. The first man looked behind him and grinned but the man in white didn't return it. The man in white's features remained indifferent as he moved to the front of the other and stared at the back of Tea with his icy eyes.

Tea was too dumb to even notice she was being stared at so the first man grabbed her shoulders in a rough manner that left bruises and made her make a sound of pain. The sound only made the first man grin wider until it was a sadistic smile and turn her around to face...

"Shadi!"

Tea's eyes got wide when she recognized him and then smiled thinking wrongly they were there to pay her a social visit.

"It's great to see you again. Have you come to visit me?"

Shadi didn't say anything so she looked over her shoulder at the first man who shook his head. That was all it took for her to understand finally that she was in trouble and her eyes got wide again when she realized that the first man's hands still had that painfully tight grip on her shoulders and Shadi was raising the scales. She began to struggle then and got free of the grip on her shoulders but it soon came back and this time to her arms and left even more bruises and finally Shadi talked after he put a feather on one scale.

"The darkness of your heart and soul has been called into question young Tea so with the power of these Millennium Scales it shall be judged."

"Please ask me anything. I won't lie I promise!" Tea practically yelled but she was lying when she said it and the scale without the feather sank down which made Shadi and the first man glare at her. "Why are you doing this? I haven't done anything wrong!" The side without the feather tipped again. Tea seen that and gasped then glared at the object. "It's lying I'm innocent!" Another tip.

With each tip of the scale that showed Tea was guilty the first man's hands got tighter and tighter on Tea's arms in his anger until the skin on her arms was black from abuse instead of purple from bruises and finally he talked.

"What have you been telling Yugi to make him so depressed? Have you told him he killed me?!"

Tea gasped again and looked back at the first man whose eyes were burning in fury at her and made his crimson eyes seem more demonic than the warm look he always gave Yugi and in a panic she lied again.

"No! I would never do that! You know me better than that Pharaoh! I've been trying to cheer him up!"

The first man looked at the scales as they tipped again and his anger reached it's limit. His hands left her arms and she turned around to face him. That was her second mistake. The first one being he now knew that she had been verbally abusing his aibou. Shadows suddenly swarmed around his hands and all around them until they were standing in a black and purple place that Tea recognized.

"The Shadow Realm?! Why have you brought us here?! I haven't done anything wrong! The scales are lying somehow I didn't do anything!" She grabbed the first man's shirt and pressed her face into it as she began to cry but the man just shoved her away and she landed on her ass as a shadow creature began taking form behind her and grabbed her.

"You have lied through this entire trial. You have abused my aibou and I have seen proof." She began to claim she was innocent again but he raised a hand and whispered a spell and her talking cut off. "I have seen you do so myself before I made my prescence known in this alleyway. You have hurt him and you know what I do to the ones who dare hurt him."

The shadow creature rose up then and when it spotted her below it growled and she turned around just in time to see her death as it came on her. She couldn't make a sound anymore thanks to the first man's spell but the sound of her soul's screams echoed through the shadowed place until she was gone from sight and eaten by the shadow creature which sank back into shadows when it had finished.

After it was gone the first man looked to Shadi who didn't say anything and just walked past him as he took the feather back and put it in his turban as the shadow realm began to fade. Shadi faded away as he walked which wasn't a surprise to the first man but he hated to see him go all the same.

After Shadi disappeared the first man smirked and left the alley as the last of the shadows disappeared like smoke and began walking down the familiar streets of Domino City Japan which he never thought he would see again and to a small shop he knew.

"Aibou..I'm coming."
