Christmas Angel

By Sailor optimal Optimus

Author's Note: Thank you all for the reviews! I need a vote now, how many want Tea/Anzu to die and by who, and how many want her thrown in jail? Sorry if the chapter is short, but I have no idea on what to do with her. This is also a Rock/Forte fic as well and if you don't like yaoi, then don't read it, even though it's soft.

Yami: Kill her!

Bakura: Send her to the Shadow Realm!

Yugi: I agree with Yami, but please let it be painless!

Jasmine: Hang her!

Venessa: I'm staying out of this.

Duke: Chicken.

Ryou: Don't you dis my girlfriend!

Everyone: (huge argument)

Tea: (tied down and gagged)

Author: As always, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!, MegaMan or MegaMan X. If I did, I would be rich! *sob*

Bakura: I want hardcore sex!

Author: This is not a NC-17 fic, so stop asking!

Bakura: Son of a bitch!

Part 2

It was getting late, but everyone wanted to wait for their parents to arrive and take them home. While watching "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", Bakura and Ryou were busy tickling Venessa's neck with kisses, Mai and Tristen were dozing on the futon, Duke and Jasmine were sleeping on one another, Joey had bid farewell to Seto and Mokuba, who had fallen asleep during the beginning of the movie, Zackery went to bed, and Yugi was fast asleep on Yami while he and Nicole were finishing watching the movie, Yami asking questions every now and then about it.

Just then, the door opened and almost everyone shot up to see a young man with lavender hair and violet streaks that start from his red eyes all the way to his jaw, connected to another streak that ran to his chin. Following behind him was a younger man with brown hair and bright blue eyes, a violet reploid wolf on his right.

"Hey Nicki," the taller of the two grinned, showing off his fangs, "Ya've been having a party or what?"

"Hi Uncle Forte, Rock," Nicole greeted, getting everyone's attention, "I thought you guys wouldn't be in until tomorrow."

"Caught an early flight," he explained, taking off his jacket while Rock went over and greeted his own niece, Venessa. Looking at the time, Rock frowned a bit.

"It's eleven at night," Rock said, "Where's you father Nicki?"

"They're at another party for awhile," she answered, "They should've been done by now; they know that we're all here."

"Oh well," Forte grinned, "At least you won't get inta trouble. We can say we chaperoned."

"Very funny," the blond pretended to be irritated, but it was true. The adults should've been back by now. What's taking them?

* * * *

"My gun is missing," Mr. Gardener shouted, all the adults in a panic, "Who would've taken it and knew where I hid the bullets?!"

"Tea is missing as well," Mr. Wheeler exclaimed, "Where could she have gone?"

The adults had finished the party about a half-hour ago, but were shocked to find the tires to their cars flat, doors sealed shut, and practically no good for driving.

"I don't know," Mr. Bakura stated, "but I am really worried. Ryou had told me that the others left after Tea was screaming insults at Yugi, who came by to drop off a Christmas present."

"He knows he shouldn't be outside in this weather," Sugoroku nearly yelled, "He's sick."

"Well anyways," Mr. Wheeler tried to calm everyone down, "I think I know why. John, I think you need to see your daughter's room."

Mr. Wheeler and John Gardener walked upstairs to Tea's room, which seemed normal to anyone else. As John was about to ask, Mr. Wheeler opened the closet door and Tea's father stood in shock as to what was inside.

There were candles all around, some lit, some not. In the center of the closet is what appeared to be a shrine of some sorts, with Yami's pictures strewn about and a few cards that state "Yami Loves Tea" or "Tea and Yami Forever." In the center of the shrine was a doll that resembled Yugi, with pins all over his arms and legs, some in his stomach, one in each of his eyes, and a dozen more around his head.

"My God," John fell to his knees.

"That Yami kid is always with Sugoroku's kid," Mr. Wheeler explained, "This is not your normal kind of crush here John."

"Oh no," Sugoroku exclaimed, after hearing what the two were discussing, "what if she's going after Yugi right now?"

"Where is he at now," Zero asked, fearing this is not what he was going to like.

"At your house, my friend."

* * * *

"Did you guys hear that," Forte asked, thinking he heard a twig snapped.

"Nope," Rock replied, not hearing anything. Rock had volunteered to drive the kids home after they tried to call Tea's house and got no answer, "I believe you're hearing things, Forte no baka."

"I'll get back at you later," the purple bioroid growled lowly. It was their game after all: Rock gets him angry and Forte takes it out on him with rough sex. X and Zero don't seem to mind their brother's sexuality, so long as it doesn't get anyone or anything broken that they own.

"Arigatou Mr. Light," Duke Devlin said as he got into the car, "Oyasuminasai everyone and Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas," everyone cheered. All that was left were Nicole, Yami, Yugi (who woke up and borrowed some of Rock's clothes to stay warm), Joey, and Tristen. They went to shuffle inside while rock drove off with Mai, Duke, and Venessa when Gospel growled.

"What is it boy," Forte looked around, but saw no one. It didn't seem anything was out of place, but just to be safe, the purple bioroid, began hearding the rest inside.

"Yami," Yugi shivered a little in his guardian's embrace, "I don't like this."

"Don't worry aibou," Yami whispered, kissing his hikari's forehead, "I will protect you."

"Lyla," Nicole whispered both in the real world and through her link, "I need you down here now."

As the words were said, a white tiger with large wings and wearing silver armor walked down the stairs. No one took note of this, for they knew this was Nicole's own spirit, a beast guardian.

"I sense evil," Lyla said quietly, taking a defensive pose to protect Nicole. Everyone watched Gospel and Lyla as they try to pinpoint the sound. Minutes seemed like hours, Yami getting Yugi behind him in case something happens. Joey took Yugi in his arms and inched closer to the stairs. Forte and Nicole had their armors ready to be summoned as their ears became as sensitive as a rabbit's.

As if on cue, Gospel and Lyla opened their eyes simultaneously and launched out of the house and into some bushes across the street. A girls' scream was heard as well as a gun shot.

"Upstairs NOW," Forte shouted and everyone didn't had to be told twice. Yugi was swept in Joey arms as the teen took the stairs two at a time. Forte changed into his armor and walked outside, closing the door behind him, as he was prepared for anything. A Maverick, a serial killer...

Instead, Tea rushed out of the woods with Lyla on her tail, Gospel a little behind her with a small hole in his left leg. Forte had a blank look on his face for a moment before Tea shot Lyla in the shoulder, causing the large cat to fall on the ground.

"I'll kill all that stand in my way," she shrieked, obviously in a sane state of mind.
"Stand in your way of what," Forte growled, taking a fighting stance.

"From killing Yugi and his bitch so I can have Yami to myself," she stated it as if it was her only mission in life. Forte just looked at her as if she was nuts.

"You do realize that Nicole will just kill you before ya lay a hand on Yugi," he tried to reason.

"My gun can eat through robot armor," she giggled, pointing the gun at Forte, "I wonder how it will do against yours?"

"What is up with this chick," Forte muttered under his breath, "If you wanna play it tough, fine bitch!"

"What is he doing," Yami exclaimed, all the teens watching from the window.

"Come on, Gospel," Forte shouted, to which the wolf obey and the two merged into Forte's winged form, "If you wanna hurt my niece so bad, you'll have to get through me first."

"Fine then," Tea yelled, firing. Forte dodged the shots well and soon was behind Tea. He grabbed her arms and held them behind her back, trying to loosen the gun in her hand.

Tea screamed and, shockingly, was able to throw Forte over her and onto the concrete. The purple bioroid rolled away in time to miss another shot.

"How the hell did this chick get so strong?!"

* * * *

"What is this," Mrs. Taylor was in the bathroom when she saw a white pill on the floor. She then found another and followed a small trail into Tea's room. On her dresser was a small bottle that read:

HIGH-DOSAGE STEROIDS. MEDICAL USE ONLY. STRENGTHENS LIMBS FOR THOSE WHO HAD BROKEN LIMBS FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. TAKE ONCE A DAY. IF TAKEN IN LARGE DOSES CAN CAUSE SEVERE INCREASE IN MUSCLES, LOSE OF REALITY, AND CAN CAUSE DEATH. DO NOT TAKE WITHOUT A DOCTOR'S PERMISSION.

The name on the prescription bottle was Masaki Tomachio.

* * * *

"She must've been taking steroids," Nicole guessed.

"How do ya know dat," Joey asked.

"Remember Masaki," Nicole explained, "He was taking the same thing. In high doses, it could make a person as strong as a reploid. It can also cause them to become insane."

"What are we to do Nicki," Yugi asked, frightened.

"There's an escape ladder in my room," the blond reploid said, "We'll take that and head towards the woods. There are a few caves we can hide in until the police arrives."

"Let's get going," Yami stated as the teens ran out of the room.

* * * *

Forte dodged another bullet, getting frustrated and ready to blast her with her buster, which he should've done in the beginning.

"Isn't she ever going to run out of bullets," he growled and was ready to fire when headlights, blind both combatants. It was Rock, coming back to drive the rest home. The blue bioroid got out of the car to see what was going on.

"Forte," Rock shouted, "what happened?"

"DIE," Tea screamed, firing at Rock. He yelped, ducking in time, as the brown-haired girl ran into the woods.

"Rock," Forte shouted, rushing over to see if his koi was alright, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," he grinned, "She missed. What's going on?"

"I'm guessing that's the bitch Nicole keeps telling us about," Forte replied, "She's high on steroids and her gun can pierce reploid armor. She's trying to kill Nicole and her boyfriend Yugi."

"I'll call the cops," Rock stated, running inside to get the phone.

"Now for the kids," Forte's red eyes glowed for a second before following Rock.

* * * *

They had split up in order to cover more ground, careful of their footprints in the snow. Nicole told them where the lake was and they did their best to avoid it. Yami refused to leave Yugi's side, for he was still sick, but after several promises of safety, Yami gave up and took off with Joey while Nicole held Yugi as she ran in a different direction.

"Why are we splitting up," Yugi asked, his fever getting the better of him now and even bundled in Nicole's coat, his coat, and the blanket he was shivering slightly.

"To cover more ground," she pointed out, "and for the fact that Tea is only after us. If you or I were with the others, she will kill them before killing us."

"But she's strong," the tri-color hikari almost whined, "How will we be able to defeat her?"

This had her stumped; she usually plans ten steps ahead, but the current situation left her busy with other things.

"I'll think of something," she grinned at him as she dashed onward.

* * * *

Tea was trying to decipher the tracks in the snow, but no suck luck; she couldn't find Yugi's footprints. This meant he was being carried by someone. But who?

She checks the pairs of boots until she sees a pair made by a reploid, one that seems to be carrying something.

"So the bitch thinks she has a chance against me," she cackled, "Well, I'll show her!"

* * * *

"The cops will be here soon," Rock stated, Forte going nuts over the fact that Nicole, Yugi, Yami, and Joey were gone while Zackery was sleeping through the whole thing. Then again, even a nuclear explosion wouldn't have waken him after spending three days almost without sleep.

"I hope they're okay," Forte looked out the window, trying to bandage the wound in Lyla's shoulder.

"My sis will beat the shit out of her," Zackery stated, barely knowing the situation.

"For their sake," the purple bioroid said wistfully, "I hope so."

* * * *

Figuring that staying on the ground was too cold, Nicole took refuge in a tree, resting for a moment. Yugi's energy was zapped by the fever again and was fast asleep, his cheeks red from the cold, but at least he stopped shivering.

"Nicole knew it was a bad idea to sleep outside in this kind of weather, but there wasn't much she could do. She held him as close as possible and hoped that the cold doesn't turn into an pneumonia. Taking out her headphones, she listens to some music to pass the time, singing softly to the angel in her arms.

Yugi stirred slightly, nuzzling the cloth-covered neck and gave a small kiss there. Nicole just smiled and continued singing.

* * * *

Tea looked about, stalking quietly, until she saw a head of tri-color hair. In her current state, she couldn't figure out if this was Yugi or Yami. In any case, her finger was itching to pull the trigger.

The person turned, but it was too late. She fired anyway.
