Chapter 12
By the time they got Yugi inside Darin and his friends' parents had been called. While they waited for him to arrive Tea and Joey got Yugi out of his wheel chair and onto his bed while Mr. Motuoh, Bakura, and Andy filled bags with ice, and while Tristan and Andy's friends watched over Darin and the others.
"You have a lot of ice in that freezer Mr. Motuoh," Andy said as they walked in Yugi's room.
"I always make extra," Mr. Motuoh, replied, "Yugi was always coming home with black eyes and such." They arranged the ice bags around Yugi's ankle, knee, shoulder, and chest so it would ward off as much swelling as possible.
"I'm getting cold just looking at that," Tea said.
"You want to know how cold it is?" Bakura asked. Tea shrugged with her back to him, so he put his ice cold hands on her face, making her shriek in surprise.
"That wasn't funny," Tea, said as she whipped around and tried to smack Bakura while the others laughed, even Yugi managed a smile.
"They're here," Tristan, said as he poked his head in.
Mr. Motuoh nodded. "Do any of you four want to go back out there with us?"
"I will," Tristan, said, "I've been out there already." Mr. Motuoh and Andy left and went into the living room.
As they expected, the parents believed that their boys were sweet angels and didn't believe a word of what happened, that is until Eric returned.
"What many of you might not know," he said, "is that there are cameras set up all over the campus, some in obvious places and that are easy to see, and in other places where they're used for things like this." He popped a video into the VCR and they watched how the fight unfolded until it ended with Andy pulling up in his van.
"Now do you believe what happened?" Tristan asked Darin's mother and father.
Darin's father glared at his son, "May we see Yugi?"
Tristan exchanged glances with Mr. Motuoh, who nodded, and they went to Yugi's room.
"No farther then the doorway please," Mr. Motuoh said as he opened the door.
Tea whipped around from where she sat on Yugi's bed while Joey and Bakura looked up from where they stood. Tea got up and walked up to Darin and his parents.
"Sir, Ma'am," she said, "please excuse me for what I'm about to do." With that, she slapped Darin across his face with all her strength.
Darin of course, didn't like it. He charged at Tea and flung her backwards, hitting her just under her eye. But before he could take another step, an ice filled bag hit him in the face and exploded.
They all gasped, and looked to see who threw the bag, and were all surprised when they saw whom it was. Yugi was holding himself up and gasping for breath, but looked triumphant.
"You can beat me up all you want," he gasped, "but never, ever; lay a hand on Tea," he gasped. "Ever."
"And he means it," Joey said. "Only when someone does somethin' really stupid does Yugi ever get violent."
Darin's father came forward and grabbed his son by the back of his collar. "Please excuse us for our intrusion," he said, "we'll make sure our son learns better."
"And it won't be through a beating," said Darin's mother. "It'll be through community service and whatever else we want him to do." With that they all left, Darin's friends and their parents right behind them.
"And I thought I'd seen it all," Joey said as he and Bakura helped Tea to her feet.
"My parents are not going to be happy about this," Tea said as she touched her sore cheek, it was just beginning to bruise.
"We should get going," Andy said.
"Thank you for all you have done," Mr. Motuoh said as he held out his hand.
"Don't mention it," Andy said as they shook hands. He and his friends left as Mr. Motuoh got some ice for Tea's face.
"Now I have a tiny fraction of an idea how Yugi feels after he gets beat up at school," Tea said as she took the ice. She looked at Yugi, who was still sitting up. "Lay down." Yugi obeyed, looking slightly guilty.
"That was a good throw Yug," Joey said.
"Well I would think so considering he could already throw a pillow at your head," Tristan teased.
"Yeah but that didn't explode," Tea pointed out. She looked at Yugi's alarm clock to see if school was out yet. "School's been out for ten minutes, what are we gonna do?"
"We could always stay here," Tristan suggested.
"I think Yugi may be getting a little tired of seeing us," Tea said. Yugi gave a one- shouldered shrug. "It also looks like he needs a nap." Yugi rolled his eyes as his friends laughed.
"Yeah," Joey said, "we should go. Feel better man." They waved and left the room.
-That has to have been the worst display of human behavior I have ever seen, - Yami said angrily.
-If it's anything to you I'm trying to sleep, - Yugi grumbled, too tired to speak aloud.
-Sorry, - Yami apologized. -So are you going to be going to school next week? -
-Of course, I'm not a weakling like Darin thinks I am. -
-Just don't over do it. -

About three blocks away, Tea and Bakura were standing by the pier again, just watching the water.
"And I thought things couldn't get any worse for Yugi," Tea said.
"We all did," Bakura said, "but I guess we didn't think of this."
"But that was just sick," Tea said angrily, "I can't believe someone would just beat up a helpless person for the fun of it. Every time I looked at Darin, his last words stuck out of my mind, 'I'll put him out of his misery.'"
"Well that's just like assholes like him," Bakura said. Tea giggled, it took a lot to make Bakura swear. "Sorry about that."
"No, it's okay. Next time find a way to say it to his face and not get creamed."
"I'll try," Bakura said as they started walking again.
As they walked down the street that was lined with all kinds of shops, they heard a familiar voice say, "Tea?" They both turned around to see Mai coming toward them.
"What brings you here Mai?" Tea asked.
"No reason, just traveling," the woman answered. "Where's Yugi? He's always with you."
"Yugi can barely sit up at the moment," Tea answered. They told what happened three months ago and exactly what happened that day.
"Poor guy," Mai said when they finished.
"We don't even know if he's going to go back to school next week," Tea said.
"Well that's for him to decide," Mai pointed out. "Hey, maybe this weekend you guys can persuade him out of the house and we can visit at the park or something."
"That might be a pretty good idea," Tea said. "But what if he doesn't want to go?"
"Here," Mai said as she opened her purse. "Take my cell phone number. Talk to Yugi tomorrow about it. If he wants to do it, call me and we'll do it on Sunday, if not call me any way to let me know it's not happening." She scribbled on a piece of paper and handed it to Tea, then eyed both her and Bakura. "So what are you doin' together any way."
"I think we can answer that," Joey said as he and Tristan popped up next to the table they were sitting at.
"Answer with what?" Mai asked. Tristan held up his video camera case, and then took a step away from the table just in case Tea or Bakura decided to pounce. "What does a camera have anything to do with this?"
"We'll see you later Mai," Tea said as she and Bakura got up. They both glared at Tristan and Joey as they headed down the street.
"What did you two do?" Mai asked as Tristan got out the video camera.
"See for your own self," Joey said as Tristan turned the camera on. Mai watched the whole thing and laughed when it was over.
"It is funny boys," she admitted, "but it wasn't a very nice thing to do."
"We know," Joey replied, "but it gave Yugi a laugh while he was in the hospital."
"That's probably the only good thing about it, though it did answer my question on why they were together."
"They didn't speak to us for a week and half after it," Tristan said as he put the camera away.
"Good," Mai said with a smile. She picked up her purse and stood up, "Well, maybe I'll see you on Sunday boys, see you."
