Chapter 14: Nighttime Encounters

`I can't believe I am breaking into my own house.' I climbed up the vines that were in the back of the house; by the balcony. "Thank goodness, that I put these here." After jumping off the vines and onto the balcony I tried the doorknob on the door. I turned with the force that I gave it and it twisted. I sighed in relief and whispered to myself, "Now to find Ana to wash out my cuts."

Slowly walking down the halls of the corridors for five minutes I came to the halls of the guest rooms. I walked like a snail not making a sound. It was dead silent, when I finally got to the stairs. Walking down them I became aware of my hearing a lot better. I didn't want anyone to know I was here, especially Seto. I don't want to run into him right now. I stopped on the last stair and glared forward into the darkness. I couldn't see a darn thing, but knowing where everything was I didn't have too. Hesitating I took a step forward; I ran into something hard and landed on top of it.

"What the heck?!" I was whispering in the dark.

"Sorry Tam."

"JON!" I whispered really loud and covered my mouth before starting again. "What are you doing here? And how did you get inside my house?"

"Well first of all, I am here to see if you got inside alright and if you even reached your house. Second, you gave me a house key……..remember?"

"Oh yea…I remember…." I was still on top of him.

"You can get off me now."

"Oh right…sorry." I rolled off and sat Indian style (with you unfamiliar: with legs crossed).

"How do you get around here so easily?" He started rambling for his keys, on it was a flashlight.

"Well let me see…..I live here numb nuts." He turned on the flashlight on his keys and shined it on my face.

"Hello…can't see."

"Sorry!" he pulled the flashlight away from my features.

Seto was watching both of us at the top of the stairs the whole time while this happened. He wanted to give me hug and kisses; plus tell me that I was wrong about Kisara, but Jon was in his way.

Jon stood up and grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

He embraced me as I started to fall, "Ow…ow….ow, ow, ow, ow…" He let go of me once I got balanced again. He was touching the sores that he game me on my back.

"I am sorry; I completely forgot….you must have gotten it real good from me."

"Ya and I am lovin it…" I said it in sarcastic tone; Seto was getting the wrong idea on the top of the stairs, he was starting to get real jealous. "Next time we do it, I am gonna do you so bad, you are gonna have to stay in bed for days…." I chuckled at my weird joke; Seto's eyes widened at my comment.

"Can't wait till then…" Jon rolled his eyes. "Shouldn't we get you to a doctor if it hurts that badly?"

"I am fine…..it's not like I am gonna die from aids or anything."

"That's nothing to be kidding about." He paused before starting again. "But Tam…I really think we should get you a nurse." I looked at Jon as he shined the light on me, but not in the eyes.

"I am sorry about the aids thing." I did exactly what he did: paused before starting again. "Jon…..I know you care about me…but don't worry, I'll do fine. I'll just have Ana cleanse me."

"I really got you good though."

"I think I have gotten you worse before."

"True and you did leave me breathless for about a day."

"I know…I am the master….no one could come compared to me." Seto was walking down the stairs slowly, so he wouldn't cause any attention or noise. He was angry for the wrong reasons.

"No….I think I could find someone better than you."

"Or really then who?"

"Well there is that one guy off of `Karate kid'. He is real good at martial arts better than anyone." Seto stopped his heart was racing.

"No I still think I am better than him." I smirked at him. "I love you Jon," I gave him a hug, Set was angry now. "But you have to go. I have to get my cuts that you gave me cleaned." He embraced me back from the hug, but did it gently.

"Alright…I'll call you in the morning to see how you are."

"Fine with me," I took his hand and started guiding him to the front door, I whispered, "Just do it at work…I won't be here."

"Ok…bye." I opened the door, he walked outside.

"Bye and don't forget to call."

"I won't….by Tam." I closed the door and started to find my way towards the servants' quarters in the basement. I was walking down the passage to the door of the basement; something grabbed my arm and spun me around.

"What the?"

The lamp close by me flickered on. "Who was that?" I looked at the person that grabbed my arm.

"A friend, and if you mind I would like you to let go of my arm Seto." He let go and embraced me.

"I was so worried about you." I was crying out in my brain from the pain. From the squeeze he opened some of my wounds again. "What's wrong?" A tear escaped my grasp and slithered down my cheek as he let go of me to look me in the face.

"Nothing." I wiped the tear away; I started towards the door and opened it to the basement.

"I know something is wrong, because if it was nothing then nothing would be the matter and you wouldn't have that tear fall down your cheek." I turned around to face him, the light was dim and through shadows across his face and bare chest.

I was very confused, "You know that almost didn't make any sense to me." I realized he actually was in pajama bottoms, or to be more exact: only boxers. I smirked and turned back towards the door.

"Stop….what is that on your back?" My tank top was hiding most of the cuts and bruises from today, but the bigger ones were bleeding and were visible because of it, they looked like big stains on my shirt in the shadows.

"Um….they are just flesh wounds nothing serious." I started walking down the steps.

"Tamra…how did you get them?"

I continued walking down the steps and turned the corner once I reached the bottom, "Odd isn't it. I fall on the last step on the main floor, but I don't here."

"Tamra, you didn't answer my question." He was right behind me when I stopped at one particular door. He ran into me. I flinched as he backed away, while the pain regained again.

"Is that blood on your shirt?....................Tamra…answer my questions." I knocked as I looked behind me. Seto was wiping blood of his chest from bumping into me. Ana answered the door before I could say another word.

"Miss Knox, what are you doing here? You didn't get beat up again?"

"Beat up? What is she talking about? Tamra explain…"

"Yes as a matter of fact I did."

"Come in we need to get you cleaned up." I walked into the room, it was clean and looked like a normal room that I would have. But there was not computer in it; that was one thing that my servants didn't want to have. All the rooms had king sized bed and a huge bathroom, complete with a kitchen and small living room.

"Lay down on the couch while I go get some warm towels and cleansing solution."

I walked over to the couch in the living room and took off my shirt revealing much worse gashes that you couldn't see with my shirt on. I was wearing a black Victoria bra that was not see through, but really thick and thank goodness because Seto was watching me. Every single one of my cuts was bleeding as I got onto the couch, except for the black and blue bruises.

"Tamra you still haven't answered my questions." Seto was sitting down in front of me on the ground.

"To answer your first question, I was in pain as you hugged me; you opened some of the wounds that stopped bleeding. To answer your second, I got them from," Ana walked into the room with a bowl and towels over her shoulder, she finished my sentence, "Jon. They always fight using sticks with martial arts. Almost once a month she'll come to me to clean them. But believe me, she is not at worse a Jon when they are through.

"Jon had to go to the hospital one time, and they had to stop for a couple of months before starting up again. This is just minor cuts and bruises; you should see Jon after they are gone fighting." She kneeled down besides Seto as she put the bowl down on the floor. She dipped the towel in the hot water, wringed it out and put it on my back. I flinched and smashed my face into the couch hiding it. Ana pulled the towel off and started dabbing me. After she got my back damp she pulled the solution out. Hydrogen Peroxide was readable on the bottle. I started clenching the couch as she got some huge cotton balls out and dampened them.

I pulled my face out from the couch and stared at Seto, "Now here comes the pain…..Ow…." I gritted my teeth as she started wiping the gashes. I grasped the couch. Seto was watching me with great sorrow.

"Here hold my hand." I grabbed his hand and started squeezing with all my might. He squeezed back as a tear escaped his left eye. He didn't want to watch me go through pain without him suffering with me.

"Seto…." I looked at him as he stared back. "It's ok…..I am not dying."

"The dream just came into mind….I just can't bear to watch you suffer while I sit watching at the sidelines."

I smiled, "You being here is taking the pain away………………….Ana stop." I let go of Seto's hand; Ana stopped and watched as I got up and crawled into Seto's lap. I hugged him as put his hands on my shoulders, he didn't want to hug me and make pain go throughout my body. I let go and put my hands on both of his cheeks; I leaned in to kiss him passionately. Our lips touched as I felt a warm sensation go through my back. A light was shining in my eyes as I let go. I looked him in the eyes; my armbands were glowing.

"Tamra?"

"Yes Ana?" Without letting go of Seto I turned my head.

"Did she just call you by your first name?"

"She can do that, now shhh…yes?" Ana's eyes were widened with fright.

"Your back….it's….." She stopped.

"What?" I got up from Seto's back and headed towards the bathroom. Both Ana and Seto followed behind.

"Tamra your back!" Seto's voice was filled with shock.

I couldn't take it anymore; I broke into a run towards the bathroom. Opening it, I switched on the light. "Oh my gosh…"

"Your cuts….they are fully healed." I had my back towards the mirror; Seto put his hand on my back and started rubbing it. The skin on my back was clear of wounds, sores, bruises or open gashes; even the scars from previous fights were gone. It was completely clear, like I haven't even been near a stick in my life.

"How do you think…?" Seto stopped.

"The bracelets," Both of our voiced echoed in the bathroom. "Could that be its power?"

"No….it can't be, you'd be alive 5000 years ago after the sword." Seto answered my question.

"Seto, if I don't have that kind of power, I think both of us triggered the armbands.….it was our -"

"Love." Seto finished my sentence for me.

"So that's what the warm sensation was; when I was kissing you I felt a warm rush come over me."

I could hear crying behind us. Ana was crying happy tears of joy, "Oh it's so beautiful….both of you look stunning when you are in the same room, like you were meant to be together from the beginning of life." She stopped as Seto hugged me in my bra. "You're such a cute couple."

I smile at Ana's reply, "I guess that I can go to bed now that Ana doesn't have to clean my back."

On my way out, "Ana I will be going into work tomorrow, I have been gone for a long time now and slacking won't get anything done. I would like my breakfast at six this morning; and please wake me up at five."

"Yes miss….that will be in exactly two in a half hours for breakfast….…so get some sleep while you can."

I left the room with my shirt back on. Seto started walking up the stairs, "I am sorry." I stopped at the bottom stair looking up at Seto.

"For what?" He headed back down to where I was.

"Everything: running away, hiding, believing Bakura and not trusting you." Seto embraced me again.

"It's ok Tami, its ok….just forget what happened."

"I can't. I ran away from you, when I needed you the most. I can't forgive myself for that."

"You're going to have to." He hugged me tighter.

I sighed, "Ya I guess I could put it behind me."

"Please do."

"One more thing…"

"Yes?"

"Bakura said that you were…..um…."

"No…I was not. I was controlled by my father, and was used as a puppet to take down the pharaoh."

"………ok……..he said he had feeling for me."

"Don't count on it. I am the one who loves you, not him……….He is only trying to confuse you, he is just probably going after you arm bands for power."

I followed him to his room, kissed him goodnight and headed towards my bedroom. I fell asleep instantly in my blood-stained clothes.

It felt like five minutes when Ana came into my room to wake me up. It was five in the morning as I got up, took a shower and got ready. I wore my blue jean pants and bright yellow shirt that said: darkness never overcomes light, on the front.

I got ready, ate breakfast and walked towards my limo waiting for me. I had my silver brief case in my left hand as got into the limo, "You look beautiful this morning." I jerked my head towards the voice to see……

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

Tamra: *Gets back in*….*whispers in Maura's ear* what did you tell Mokie?

Maura: I'll tell you later.

What will happen to Tamra when she gets to work? And who's in the limo w/Tamra?
