Love Will Only Go So Far.
Chapter 1.
Ryou's Crush.
Ryou Bakura got out of bed and awoke to the beautiful Monday morning of Domino City. He took a quick shower, wrapped the towel around his waist, and went back to his room to get dressed. He was putting his shirt on and singing a little song to himself. Life was good for Ryou. He had a nice little house, a nice little room, a nice little life, good grades in school, and a father that loved him very much. He walked over to the window and pulled away the drapes. He opened up his window and let the nice cool morning breeze run over his face. The air smelt good to him. "What a beautiful morning," Ryou said to himself in a little sing song voice. "The air is crisp and clean, the sky is nice and blue, not many clouds, life is good" he finally concluded.
Ryou went downstairs to see his father. When he got there he noticed a note on the kitchen table. He read it to himself.
Ryou, I had to leave to go check something at the Domino Museum run by miss Isis Ishtar. I left some of the leftover waffles in the microwave. Just heat them up real quickly. Butter and Syrup are in the fridge. See you tonight. Love, Dad.
"Oh well, I'll see him later." Ryou said happily. He heated the waffles and got out the butter and syrup. He ate his breakfast and went upstairs to brush his teeth. When he was finished he sat in the living room to read a book. He read his book for 10 minutes and then decided it was time for him to leave for school. He picked up his little black brief case he used to hold his school books and other assorted school items. He picked up his lunch from the fridge and walked out the door. He locked up the door and then headed off.
It wasn't too warm outside and Ryou was enjoying the nice breeze as he walked his way towards the Domino City High School. He saw most of the usual city sites, cars moving throughout the street, people walking along their way, bikecycle riders enjoying the early morning. He walked through it all, just as he always did. He was happy. His life was almost perfect. He had his duel monsters cards with him. He enjoyed playing Duel Monsters. He wasn't bad at it, but he wasn't great. But he played non the less. He could defeat Joey, and Tristan, not that Tristan really played anymore. He had sorta lost interest. He couldn't beat Yugi. It wasn't all that bad though. He knew Yugi was good but he played him just for fun. He had beat him in one round once with Destiny Board but Yugi came back to beat him the other two rounds, winning the duel. But Ryou didn't mind.
He walked past the Kame Game shop and saw Mr. Moto sweeping outside. "Hello Mr. Moto." Ryou said polietly. "Is Yuig here?"
"Why you just missed him." Mr. Moto said. "If you hurry you should be able to catch up to him."
"Thank you," and with that Ryou went off on his way. He walked along the side walk and continued to enjoy the morning. He got to the high school and went to his home room. He sat down in his seat and waited for the teacher to arrive. When the teacher got there she took attendance. They listened to the morning announcements and then they were dismissed to go to their first period class. Ryou walked on to his first period class, History. He got in there and took his seat in the back row. He always got in there first so he could have gone to the first row, but he didn't. There was one reason he chose to sit in the back.
The rest of the class all started to come in to the class room one by one. Ryou waited nervously for that one special person to enter and then she entered. She had brown hair that went down to her neck, and sky blue eyes. She was wearing the normal Domino High School girls uniform. To everyone else, she was Tea Gardner. But to Ryou, she was the one girl he had loved ever since he met her when he came to Japan from Britain. The memory of that day still came clearly to Ryou as though it had happened yesturday.
["Well here we are Ryou. Our new home" Ryou's dad said proudly. Ryou looked around the new house. It was ok, it was a tad bit small, but it was nice. But one thing still troubled Ryou.
"Father, why did we leave Britain?" A slighlty younger Ryou asked.
"Well son," Ryou's father began kindly, with a voice only a loving father could achieve. "We left because of your mother."
"My mother?" Ryou asked confused, "but, she's gone."
"Yes son, but you see, that house we were living in, well, it brings back too many memories of her." Ryou's father said sadly.
"But aren't memories a good thing?" Ryou asked.
"Yes son they are. They are a very good thing. However, losing your mother took a lot out of me. And we had orignally bought that house for your mother. I felt that since she wasn't there, we shouldn't be there either."
"But what about all my friends?"
"You can keep in touch with them. And I'm sure you will make many new friends here. Why don't you go explore the new neiborhood while the movers finish bringing in all the boxes. Just don't go too far. I wouldn't want you getting lost."
"All right." Ryou said, satisfied at the moment with his fathers explanation. So Ryou set out. He was walking around block, keeping in mind which turns he had made so he knew how to get back home when he was done walking. As he walked he did notice that his new neiborhood was quite peaceful. Not a lot was happening. He liked it there. He wasn't completely at home there but it did feel nice. He wasn't watching where he was going and he accedentlally bumped into someone. "I'm sorry." He said politley.
"That's ok. I wasn't watching where I was going. I'm kinda in a hurry." The person said. Ryou looked up at the person and noticed she was a girl around his age. Nice brown hair and the nicest eye's he had ever seen. She had a nice body, medium weight, slightly shorter than Ryou. Ryou soon relized she was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. "I don't think I've ever seen you around here. Are you new to town?" she asked.
"Um, uh…" Ryou was having a bit of trouble speaking, he finally found the words he wanted. "Yes."
"Well it's nice to meet you, uh?" Ryou didn't respond. "What's your name?" she asked him.
"My name? My name is… 'Oh my, what's my name, uh, Ryu, Ryo, uh, oh yeah!' …My name is Rouy." Ryou said nervously.
"Rouy?" the girl asked at the weird name.
Ryou gave his brain a mental slap. "No, my name is Ryou," he said with more confidence this time.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"No, I mean yes, yes, my name is Ryou. And what is your name?" Ryou asked nervously.
"I'm Tea, Tea Gardner."
"Ryou, Ryou Bakura." He said as he shook her hand. Tea then looked down at his wrist and saw his watch.
"Oh no! I forgot I'm late! I'm sorry but I have to go. What school are you going to?" She asked hurridly.
"Domino," he said.
"Cool, I guess I'll see you there" she yelled for she was already on her way.
'Rouy?' Ryou thought to himself. 'I hope if I see her again I don't freeze up again. My name is Ryou, Ryou, RYOU!!!!']
Ryou snapped out of his day dream. He shot his head up and looked around. The history teacher was looking at him. "If you want to sleep Ryou, then I sugesest you go home and do that, not in my class."
Ryou looked down painfully, "Yes sir."
"Don't let it happen again." The teacher said sternly.
"Yes sir," he said again. He looked up to see Tea giggle at him. She then turned around and went back to her text book. Ryou felt like a fool.

Sdrive: I debated wether to go on or not but I finally decided that that was enough for the first chapter. As the title says Ryou's Crush, I think that is enough info for now. Well what did you think for my first Romance fic? Like it? I hope so. Some people may not like it due to the fact it's Ryou/Tea. But I'd love to hear what you have to say. And even if you flame me in the worst possbile way due to it being a Ryou/Tea, I'll then have you ask me if I care, cause I really won't. My story! Well either way please review, I would love to hear from you.
