Broken Within The Darkness
Chapter 1 - Forgetting
A small book fell off a desk and landed face down upon the floor. A young girl moved from her seat and bent down to pick it up. Closing the book, she opened a drawer and placed the notebook inside. A small picture drifted out and landed on the floor. A tear leaked down the girl's face as she bent down to pick it up. On the picture was a young girl and boy. She slid the drawer open once again and placed the picture inside.
Moving to a window, she looked out into the warm evening. The sun had just set and a few starts were starting to appear. A warm, breeze blew through the window across her face. She looked for any sign of movement, but found none. Closing the window, just part way to allow the breeze in, she grabbed her robe and headed out of the room.
A young boy appeared out of the shadows. He looked up at the window where the girl once stood at. He wanted to talk to her, hold her, but he knew he couldn't. Turning away, he walked down the road.
The warm water removed all the stress that Tea had. Each day seem painful to her as she remembered the memories. Tea leaned against the edge of the tub. She sighed heavily knowing that the pain she was having must be the same with him.
Yami walked down the road till he stopped at the Game Shop. He shook his head while sighing heavy before trading places. Could everything be connected? Yugi was hoping that everything would come back to normal. Walking inside, he turned the light off.
Arriving in his room, Yugi removed the Millenium Puzzle and placed it upon the desk. Yami stood by the window.The wind blew through his hair as he looked up at the sky. Already a month has gone by and neither have spoken.
Tea continued to wipe her hair dry as she walked into her room. She glanced over at the desk, but never moved. Walking to her bed, she combed her hair. Placing the brush down upon her might stand, she climbed into bed. Turning the light off, she laid her head down and drifted to sleep.
The morning sun shined brightly through the window. Tea opened one eye, but tried to ignoring the light, however, she knew she had to get up. Getting dress, she grabbed her bag and started heading to school.
Students were either standing otuside or inside their homerooms. Her group had no exeption. Tea noticed them in a corner concentrating on a game. Tea walked over to her seat and laid her bag down. Walking over, she could here the ending of a game. "Sorry Joey, but that brings your life points down to zero." said Yugi.
Tea walked over and looked down at the puzzle around Yugi's neck. She had a weak smile upon her face,, but when she looked away, her smile disappeared.
Yugi noticed it. He glanced down at the puzzel and then turned towards the door. Yami was standing there. No smile, sadness, or happiness was upon his face. A look of determination and calmness instead was the only thing noticable.
The teacher entered the room after a few seconds went by. Tea only looked straight ahead. She never looked back. Yami stood in the darkness watching Tea. The pain, the anger, he wish it would just go away. Somehow, though, he knew it would not leave. It was just a strong feeling. One that he knew that he had to deal with.
Notes were written on the board as Tea looked foeward. Never once did she glance back to see Yami standing. He watched with a determine look. He never once left to head back into the puzzle. After about ten minutes of notes, a quiz was given out. Everyone sighed, but took them in silence.
When the quizes were done, class was dismiss for lunch. Yugi, Joey, and Tristan walked over to see how Tea was. Yami started to approach, but quickly turned away. Yugi glanced over at him and just shook his head. Never has he seen the spirit such a wreck.
"We are all going to eat outside in the Rock Garden. Do you want to join?" asked Yugi looking back at Tea. Tea glanced up at Yugi. She decided that sitting outside with her friends was not going to hurt her that much. He could not be there or at least that was what she was expecting. Knodding her head, she stood up and followed everyone out.
Serenity was already outside saving a spot. Everyone was happy that she was able to transfer and attend class here. It made the group seem a little more cheery. Tea walked over and started chatting. However, as both were enjoying there conversation, Tristan came over and started pestering the girls. Yugi laughed while Joey started to chase Tristan. Tea smiled, but soon sat down to eat. Yugi sighed when he noticed it. Walking over, he sat next to her. "You haven't been yourself for at least a few weeks. Can you at least talk about it with me?" asked Yugi. He felt sorry for what Tea was going through, however, he did not fully understand it.
"There is nothing to talk about. It is just something I am just going to have to forget." replied Tea turning away from Yugi.
Yugi shooked his head and move to the other side of her. "You just can not bottle up your feelings. You are not that type of person. I remember when you were worried during Battle City. You did not want us to duel, but well, he made you understand. You can not stay away forever. It would be avoiding me in the whole process." said Yugi.
"If avoiding you is the solution, then that is the solution I am going to take." replied Tea standing up and walking away.
"Tea you can not deny it. You love him. Admit it." yelled Yugi. Tea ignored his saying and ran into the school. A small tear leaked from her face and swept down her cheek before blowing within the wind.
Yugi sighed heavy as he watched her leave. Yami appeared out of the shadows and walked over to where Yugi was at. He sat down and noticed that Yugi was confused by it all. The night it all happen, Yugi was asleep. He never expected anything to go so far, but it did. 'There is nothing you can do. It will just take time.' said Yami in a calm voice before disappearing. Yugi gave a weak smile as he watch the spirit leave. Both were just to stubborn to admit.

JasmineUnicorn: This is my new story. It seems a little confusing at first, but soon you will understand. Please review about what you think. No flames. Please try to ignore the grammer errors. There are some, but I am not the best at removing them. Again, I will repeat. This first chapter will leave all in a confusing state. I promise to write more about what is going on, but if I spill that will ruin the meaning of the story. Enjoy.
