A Broken Song, For a Broken World

A/n: Hello everyone and welcome to my first ever shot at a Tea x Yami story. Now, I know what you're all thinking: Eww! Tea! The annoying friendship girl! I am so not reading this! But, please, give it a try. It's not bad I can assure. Besides, I think we've all been a little hard on Tea. Don't you? I mean, sure, she's annoying at times, but she does have her moments where you have to like her. So, here's the summary. And for all you Tea haters, try to be more open minded. I have read many Yami x Tea stories on this site and they have all been very good! I once hated Tea, but now I think she is a decent and well constructed character. (Whoa! Those were some big words I just used! Are you sure this is my Authoresses note, Yami? Yami: Yes. I guess I am rubbing off on you. However, those words are not that big Kyshin…)

Summary: Tea's life had been going great. She was doing very well in all her classes, had great friends and was taking extra dance sessions since her big recital was coming up! But one night, Tea and Yami go out roller skating. On the way home, a drunk driver runs a stop sign and comes crashing into the teens. Yami comes out with just a scratch…Tea, however, is not so fortunate. Will the dance show go on or will Tea be stuck in a wheelchair forever?

If I Break My Butt…

"Hey, Tea? What'd you get on that History test?" Yugi asked frowning at his sixty-five. Tea smiled and showed him.

"A Ninety-Eight!" She cheered. "I'm so happy!"

"I got a ninety-seven." Yami says. "Tea got the highest score in our class."

"Really? So, who got the lowest?" Tea sat down next to Yami.

Yami shook his head with a grin and pointed his finger at Joey and Tristan who were accusing the teacher for giving them lousy grades on purpose. "Like we didn't see that one coming!" He chuckled. Tea and Yugi laughed too.

Tea stopped and stared at Yami as he laughed. She blushed. He was so handsome it turned her on. Her flush deepened and she had to look away. He didn't like her that way…did he? Tea thought for a moment. 'Nah. He's just my friend.' Yami had changed a lot though. Now, they were much closer with him. He wasn't as shy and closed as he was before. He still had a stubborn streak in him though. That was just part of who he was. Tea and the others had to accept his traits, all his traits. The good and the bad…

Suddenly, a bell sounded and everyone ran out the door. "Finally, schools out for the weekend!" Yugi said standing and stretching. "Bye Tea. Oh, and I'm Going to Joey's Yami! See ya tonight! " Yami didn't have time to reply for Yugi was already out of the room. He sighed tiredly.

"What are you doing this weekend?" Tea asked as Yami stood. He shrugged.

"No clue. I'm probably just going to crash for the weekend."

"You tired?"

Yami nodded. "I haven't been sleeping too well for some reason. It's strange…"

Tea bent down to pick up her purse as Yami leaned to pick up his book bag. Their heads hit. "Oww." They both said and laughed sheepishly.

"Sorry." Yami blushed.

"It's fine. It's really my fault." Tea apologized while rubbing her head and standing again. To Yami's misfortune, his blush remained. Tea giggled.

"What?"

She shook her head grinning. "Nothing. It's nothing."

Yami gave her an I-don't-believe-you-but-am-too-tired-to-argue look. He decided to change the subject. "So, your recital's coming up soon, huh?" Tea looked back at him and nodded. "Are you nervous?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm terrified!" She kicked a stone as they walked further away from Domino High. Yami smiled.

"Don't be." He winked at her. "I know you'll do great."

Tea smiled. "So, you're coming then?"

"I wouldn't miss it for the world!"

"Good." Tea said happily. Then she looked at the ground and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Yami asked putting a hand on her shoulder.

"I just remembered that I have a date tonight."

"Oh. And you're unhappy…why?"

"Well, I kinda wanted to stay home and practice my dance routine." Tea sighed again. "Plus, I get the feeling this guy doesn't like me. I think he's just stringing me along…"

"And why would he do that?"

"I don't know." She pulled out her cell. "I'm going to cancel. I'll tell him it's not working out. I just don't trust this guy, Yami." She called and left a message saying she couldn't make it and that the relationship wasn't working out. "There." she smiled. "I feel much better now." Yami smiled back.

"Want to do something tonight?" Yami asked as they came closer to Tea's house. "I know you have dancing and all, but I thought maybe you could take a break and we could see a movie or something." Tea's heart fluttered. Was the Pharaoh asking her out? Probably not, but it wasn't everyday that she got to spend some one on one time with Yami.

Tea's smile brightened. "I'd love that, Yami."

"Great. So, what do you want to do?"

"What do you have in mind?"

"Umm…I thought we could see a movie but I don't really know what's playing..."

"Ever gone roller skating, Atem?"

Yami was shocked to hear Tea use his real name. He blushed. "Nope. Is it hard…or painful?"

Tea couldn't help but laugh. "No silly. It's fun." She paused. "You might fall on your butt a few times though." She giggled.

Yami groaned and rolled his eyes. "Great…" He smiled though. "It sounds fun. Sure. I'll try it. But, if I break my butt you're paying the hospital bills."
