Chapter 9

Sakura: Wow...on chapter nine.

Seto: This ones pretty decent

Sakura: Yes...only cause you don't get hurt or tortured. I'll continue...

Yugi sat huddled on his bed. His knees were pulled up to his chest. He was thinking about what happened at school that day. He had a another break down but didn't tell Yami about it. Joey brought Yugi out of the cacoon he incased himself in for a short while. Joey ended up getting detention for spasing out on the science teacher at the end of the day.

"Hey! I'm back!" Joey yelled stepping in and throwing his bag down on the lazy boy chair.

"Huh...Joey...." Yami opened his eyes and sat up. His eyes blinked a few times to take in the light filtering into them. "Uh...what time is it?"

"It's 4:30 pm, where have you been lately?" Joey asked sitting down next to Yami with a soda in hand.

"Oh...I was really tired that's all," Yami replied and laid his head back on the couch, the tips of his fingers rubbing his temples.

"Yeah...Yug had some trouble at school...he's not showing it but this is bugging him..."

"Who did what?" Yami asked.

"The science teacher made fun of Yugi really bad...I kinda ova reacted..." Joey sighed and sat down.

"I see...I better go talk to Yugi, you can get some sleep if you want," Yami left for Yugi's room.

Yugi was curled up on his bed shaking. Yami sat down on the bed and rubbed the teens back. Yugi looked up to see Yami and placed his head on his lap.

"I miss Grandpa..." Yugi mummered before tears fell.

"I know...so do I Yugi. You want to talk about it?" Yami asked running his hand through Yugi's hair.

"Sure. I just...I just couldn't picture a life without him. I'm glad you and Joey are here. I miss him so much," Yugi crawled up and burried his face into Yami's chest with tears flowing heavily.

"Yugi if there was something I could do for you right now, I would. I would." Yami ran his hand on Yugi's back up and down.

"You're-You're helping me now. Th-thank you," Yugi fell asleep, slowly sliding his head down into Yami's lap. Yami couldn't help but smile as he made progress with Yugi. He leaped two hurdles and now there was only a few to go. At least he hoped so.

Meawhile downstairs, Joey was busy making a sandwich when a soft knock on the door broke him from his concentration. He answered the door and there was Tea. She wasn't dressed in a skimpy outfit. She wore a a long pink top that tied around the neck, and pink capris pants and her hair was down. She had no make up on and from the look on her face she had been crying.

"Can I come in?" Tea asked shyly. Her hands wound within each other and she rocked on the balls of her feet.

"I guess..." Joey let her step in, "You want a drink?" Joey brought out two soda's even though Tea didn't answer.

"I've been a really bad friend...haven't I?" Tea asked pushing the drink away from her.

"Yeah...just a bit," Joey replied and opened his own drink.

"I really should apoligized, I'm just not sure how. It's been so long since I've been in the routine if you know what I mean," Tea glanced to the upper level and wondered how Yugi was doing.

"I don't know what to say..it will take some time to gain the trust of those two again. I'm not sure I can help you, but I'll try. I didn't like the way you were. I hope you never morph back into that thing," Joey put malace tone to the word thing.

"I'm sorry if I haven't been a good friend. I remember awhile ago. Remember Battle City? How Yugi beat Marik and how he saved the world?" Tea looked at Joey, "I also remember his grandpa...I shouldn't have done what I did," Tea began to tear up.

"No you shouldn't have," Tea looked up shocked. She was hoping Joey would say 'It's going to be ok.' Those words hit her hard but he continued, "But we can't change the past can we? I wish we could but we can't," Joey stood up, "You can stay here, I'm going to go get Yami."

Tea moved nervously in the seat. She pulled up her capris pants, fixed her top, fixed her hair, brushed away her tears. She was scared. Extremly scared. The foot steps of three people came down. Time seemed to slow down as they looked at each other. Yugi looked better, he was wearing a white t-shirt with red shorts and black sandles. Yami wore the same outfit just his shorts were green.

"Hello Tea," Yami seemed unsure of what to say, it showed in his voice. Yugi sat down next to Yami on the couch.

"What have you been up to?" Yugi asked, his words were shaky.

"Thinking. Some well needed thinking," Tea replied and stood up. She walked over to Yugi and gave him a hug. "I'm sorry I haven't been by your side. I was angry, jelous even."

"Of what?" Joey asked.

"Well...don't laugh at me but I had a crush on Yami," she turned to him, "Am I correct when you've found someone else?"

"Yes."

"I see," Tea turned back to Yugi, "I'm sorry! I'M TRULY SORRY!" Tea hugged him and cried into his shoulder. Yugi couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Hugging her back her sobs died down.

"It's okay," Yugi replied, "I know we can't go back to how it used to be." Yugi pulled a shoe box out from under the couch. Carefully he lifted the top off and took out a picture. "Here," he handed it to Tea.

"What's this?" Tea looked at the picture. It was her, Joey, Tristan, Yugi, and his grandfather standing in front of the museum with smiles on their faces. "I remember when this was taken...we had fun that day," Tea smiled.

"It was a good day wasn't it?" Yugi wanted to cry but fought the urge to. Yami placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and studied the picture. Carefully he took out another one. This one was of Yugi and his grandpa laughing about a practical joke played on Tristan.

"That was a funny prank. Remember, Tristan had green slime all over him?" Yami let out a chuckle after Joey said that.

"It was a rather funny occasion," Yami picked up another photo. Yugi snatched it away and walked the stairs.

"I'm going to bed, night guys," a small frekle of a smile came but that was it. Nothing special, no huge grin.

-----------------------

A couple of months passed and soon it was Christmas. Yugi was in a much better state and Yami arranged for everyone to come to diner. As soon as everyone left Yugi walked out into the snow. Yami followed. ..

Well another chapter as ended. One more chapter left.
