But now its fixed and thus I present to you a new fic.

P.S Its probably going to be a two or four shot depends on what ideas I get lol.

I do not own Yugioh nor do I own the song Someones Watching Over Me by Hillary Duff

Never Left Me

Red curtains appeared in front of her. In just mere seconds she would be out there, performing one of her favorite song's in the entire world. The song, that one particular song, went perfect with what she felt at that very moment.

Reason? To make long story short, it all happened three years ago. Not too long ago, huh? But for me, it's been forever. You see my life made a big U-turn once I met him . Atem. Pharaoh of Egypt. . . .and the love of my life.

My heart yearns to go back to those suspense-filled adventures. Though not so much for the evil-guy-trying-to-take-over-the-world-part, but even so, better then no adventures at all.

My mind went back to one heart-breaking moment of my life. The day the man of my dreams was torn away from us, from me.

I know that was his purpose, but it's not everyday one of the most important people in your life gets pulled away from your side and just leaves to the afterlife, without a word!

I sighed. I couldn't be so selfish. If it was me in his shoes, I would've done the same, surely not the same way, but still. I don't blame him for wanting to go back to his family, friends and other loved ones, quite the contrary; we were happy in doing so, because it made him happy and if he was happy so were we. But still, it hurts.

So caught up in my thoughts I was, that I didn't even notice someone calling my name. Turning around to face the owner of the voice I couldn't help the smile that was crawling its way to my face at seeing who it was.

'Look's like ya finally decided ta hear me out, huh?'-Arms in the air, Joey Wheeler ran over to me, his famous Brooklyn accent being spoken.

A giggle escaped my lips as I stared at one of my best friends. After the departure of Atem, Joey, Yugi, Tristan and I got a lot closer. But the ones, who got the closest, were Joey and me. Not romantically, but more like brotherly. He would always call me to see how I was or what I was doing or he would come over to my house to talk or to ask me tips about how to impress his newfound girlfriend Mai. I, of course, would gladly help him.

'Sorry, guess I'm just kinda nervous is all ''-Truth be told, it's not everyday you sing in front more than two-thousand people!

Joey laughed-'You? Nervous? Are ya sure you're Tea? Or am I in the wrong show?'-He would always know how to cheer me up no matter what-'Hey, don't sweat it, ya gonna do awesome!'-He gave me an encouraging smile, one that I returned happily.

'You're right. Everything's going to be fine'-'Or at least I hope it will be'- I shook my head. No. I KNOW it's going to be great.

'That's the Tea I know'.-Joey winked-'Hey , I gotcha a little something, well it's more like from all of us, but hey! I spotted it!'

He pulled out a small black box with a silver ribbon tied to it and handed it to me-'Hope ya like it'-I opened the box slowly and gasped at what was inside. It was a beautiful silver charm bracelet with little silver trinkets all around.

Carefully I took it out of the box and studied it carefully. There were a total of eight charms hanging from it. They were a crystal heart, a duel card, a ballet shoe, a Dark Magician Girl, a Millennium Puzzle, a small Shining Friendship, a key and the last one was . . . .a cartouche. –'We had the trinkets made especially for ya'- Joey said.

Tears were threatening to come out, but I wouldn't let them, this wasn't time for crying. So instead I put on the biggest smile I could make and said-'It's gorgeous, thank you so much!''-We hugged briefly for a moment, before he said that he had to go back so they wouldn't take his seat. I nodded.

His back was now facing me, as I watched him leave-'Oh, shit!'- I heard him curse- 'I almost forgot, rich boy sent these also'- In his hands was a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a small card in the the bouquet I pulled out the small envelope and began reading what the card said, it went like this:

Sorry I couldn't be there. I hope these flowers will suffice. Wish you the best of luck.

Kaiba

-'How sweet of him to do this'-Tea smiled as she put the beautiful flowers on a table nearby.

-'Yeah, reeaalll 'sweet'- Joey crossed his arms over his chest-'but he still aint datin ya'- I burst out laughing at what he said-'Joey- I tried to speak as I laughed-Seto and I are just FRIENDS, nothing more, ok?'.

The look on Joey's face was priceless; it was hard NOT to laugh. He was always so protective over me, like a big brother is with his little sister.

-'Ok, if ya say so, oh I almost forgot another thing, something to go wit dat bracelet of yours'.-Joey chuckled at my puzzled expression. 'Something to go with my bracelet? What could it be?'-The more I thought, the more I wanted to know-'What is it, Joe'

'This'-In front of me was a necklace I haven't seen in a long time. To be honest I was shocked to see it. Why? Because that necklace belonged to him, to Atem. The cartouche with his name on it. The cartouche I gave him.

-'The gang thought it would bring ya good luck'-My gaze met his, as he told me to turn around so he could place the necklace on. The lock clasped around my neck as Joey let my long hair flow down loosely again.-'Man, I remember when ya hair was at ya shoulders, and now look at it, it's now at ya waist, girl!'-Joey was always so dramatic about everything.

I giggled-'Yeah, I remember, but you know. ..I love my new hair! It's fabulous! Remind to thank Mai later'-Indeed, the young brunette girl had changed quite a bit, physically speaking. Her once short chocolate-colored hair now reached almost her waist in silky layers. For her concert tonight she decided to style her hair in curls so it looked different, smooth and stylish. On the side of her head she had a small sparkling gold clip.

'Yeah, will do. Did she help ya wit ya clothes too? Cause man girl! I gotta say you look ... I forget it! Ya look hot!'-Tea's cheeks were tinted pink by the complement her blond friend gave her.

Tea's attire consisted of a beige colored sleeveless satin top with a thick brown belt around her slim waist. The belt had thin silver zippers all around, separating the belt in small sections. She wore a chocolate brown silky skirt that reached her mid- thigh along with a pair of dazzling golden high-heel shoes. On her neck she had a small criss-crossed chain that sparkled in the light. Several golden bracelets dangled at her wrist. Big golden hoop earrings could be seen on her ears. Her eyes had gold eye shadow, which made there beautiful sapphire blue color stand out, with black mascara and eye-liner, her lips glossy with light pink lip-gloss. She looked gorgeous.

-'Aww, thanks! Mai is a lucky girl.'-Tea glanced at the small clock on the wall, only to notice that there was only two minutes till the show started!

'Holy smokes! The show is about to begin! I gotta go Joey! Thanks again for everything!'-She was now screaming at him, seeing as she was running to go get prepared.

-'Best of luck, Tea! We'll be in the front row! Cheerin ya on!'-He didn't know if she heard him, because she was now officially out of sight.

The show was sold out!

Not a seat could be seen nor near nor far. Everyone, from little kids to grandparents wanted to see the performance. A group of teenagers were chatting away in there seats. They were waiting patiently for one of their friends to come back from backstage. 'Look, there he is! - A young auburn- haired girl, Serenity, yelled at the group of boys so they could help her brother.

Yugi, Tristan and Duke heard Serenity call out to them. They quickly got up from there seats and ran to help the elder Wheeler get threw the tsunami of people-'Did ya see Tea?'-Wanting to know how there friend was, Yugi was the first to speak.

'She's fine. She loved the bracelet, said it was beautiful and perfect for her.'-The three young boys and girls smiled at this.

Sitting back down and putting both of his arms behind his head, Duke said-'See, told you she'd love it. Man, why I am such an expert with girls.'-He held a finger to his chin and tapped lightly, as if in thought.

'Why I ought a . . . . ! '-Joey was about to launch himself at Duke, when he hears his sister say-'Guys, sit down! The show's starting!'- Quickly the group of teenagers sat down comfortably in there seats, waiting for the friend to come out.

Standing face to face with the drapes, Tea took one last deep breath and it out slowly. Her hand went up to touch the cartouche that was dangling at her neck. She closed her eyes, delicately tracing the engraved drawings on the necklace.

The curtains flew open as she opened her beautiful crystal-blue angel eyes to the crowd before her. The first thing she saw was her friends. Her wonderful life-time friends. Smiling and giving her signs of encouragement. She gave them a warm smile in return.

Slowly she headed her way over to where the microphone was and gently took it into her delicate hands. Putting it close enough for her to be heard, she spoke up:

'Hello everyone. First of all, thank you all for coming, it means a great deal for me. '-She took a quick glance at her friends-'The song that I am about to perform goes to a special person. A person who brought many wonderful things to my life and to others. Though sadly, do to a series of events he no longer is here with us. But we know that he still lives within our hearts and souls. So with great joy and happiness, I dedicate this song to him. Enjoy'-

A delicate sound began emitting from the guitar near hear. Holding the mic tightly between her fingers, she began to sing:

Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

Tea's voice was soft and angelic as she continued with the song:

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

Her friends were looking at her in awe as they watched there friend sing there heart out:

Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams

She glanced up at the ceiling, pretending Atem's face was drawn on it.

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

Yes, it was hard. But she knew that he was grateful for everything they had done for him, and they were grateful for everything he brought to their lives.

It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

Tea switched the microphone to her left hand now, singing low but loud enough for the crowd to hear her.

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me

He was gone yes, but never from her memories, never from her heart.

Someone's watching over me.

As she finished the song, she couldn't help but close her eyes, and let images of her once dreamy prince come back to her. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of thunderous, from the youngest child to the eldest grandpa, stood clapping and screaming excitedly. Joey, Yugi, Tristan , Duke , Mai, Serenity and Rebecca stood from there seats and cheered as loud as they could.

Putting on the biggest smile she could, she waved at the crowd and bowed slightly, giving thanks to all.

Completely oblivious to everyone, a tall dark shadow lingered at the back of the auditorium.

HUZZAH! LOL! I finally did it! I hoped you liked it and sorry if there are grammar mistakes I am a bit sleepy so you get the idea. Please Review! Oh and by the way thank you all for reviewing my last story kiss Me, Please. Love you all and thank you.

Here is a small preview of the next chapter:

''What are you doing here?'' I was still too shocked to acknowledge what was going on.

He laughed- "You haven't changed at all, have you?"-

OOOoooo who could that be? Find out in the next chappie! See ya!
