Chapter 2-Who Are You?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Yami went to the lunch room and waited to buy his lunch. He had the usual lunch. The mushy mash beans with corn and applesauce aside with milk. He looked around and saw an empty table. He decided to eat there. As he began to eat, he seemed to noticed a group of girls looking at him?
'Damn, what are they up to?' He thought. As he was thinking, the group of girls headed toward him.
'They probaly camed to pity me' He started to get angry at the thought. The group of girls sat around his table and some stood behind him.
"Yami, what happen?" asked one of the girls while twirling her hair.
"Did they hit you, again?" asked another girl. Yami just shrugged.
As the girls were trying to fget some answers Tea got her lunch and went to the group.
"What's going on here?" she asked a blond girl. The girl turned around. She was Mai Valentine, Tea's best friend who well got most of boys' attention and can get them to do anything she wants. But seriously had too much of an ego.
"Well the girls placed a bet on who can make the loner talk. The winner gets 100yen from every girl" explained Mai.
"Really? So who's the loner?" Tea asked.
"The one and only" Mai answered as she pointed the boy's direction. Tea looked that way and saw the familiar spiky hair. Without thinking she went through the group to take a better look before Mai said another word.
Yami noticied someone coming. His eyes widened when he was the same girl from the nurse office. She sat in front of him and look at him. The group went quiet to see what happen. Yami quickly looked down at his food.
"What is your name?" asked Tea quietly. The girls gasped and look at Yami for his response. Was Tea for real? She didn't know the loner, who was well known for some reason. As they looked at Tea they saw that she wasn't kidding. They look back at Yami still starting at his food.
'Did she just ask me that?' thought Yami. He slowly lift his head to see her looking back at him. She looked like she wasn't joking about it.
"Y-Yami" he whispered without thinking about it.
'What the hell? Why did I say that?' Yami asked himself confused. He then saw some girls grunting and giving the girl about 100yen each. His confused face turned into an angry one.
'Oh I get it' he thought angirly. He got up from the table and left the girls high-fiving Tea and laughing. She put on a fake smilied and watched Yami leave.
'Yami' she thought trying out the name.
"Well alright Tea!" said Mai. Tea looked at her.
"Looks like you got about 1,100yen. Now that is hustling" Mai said smiling. Tea looked at the money. She grabbed and gave it to Mai.
"Here have it. You need it more than me" said Tea walking away leaving Mai confused.

Tea and Seto were in the back of the school having another of their pleasurable moments. (A/N: I think I know what you guys might think. But what I meant was them just making out okay. So don't trip about it) Tea broke the kiss with a widened eyes. Seto looked at her confused.
"I forgot something in my PE class" she said.
"Huh fine.Called me after you got it so I can take you home okay?" he said a bit disappionted. Tea kissed him again and ran to the gym. She noticed the clouds over head and decided to hurry.

Yami also had to do something after-school. He had an appionted with a certain hallmonitor. He was literlly big guy and quiet muscular that lots of kids, including teachers were scared of. Yami looked at the ground as he walked behind the gym to meet him.
"Ah you're here. So you have my money?" Ushio asked leaning on the wall. Yami looked up and shook his head.
"I-I couldn't" he said softly. Ushio walked toward him and grabbed him the collar.
"Listen I was your body-guard for a week. You owe me 100,000yen so pay up!" Ushio said.
"I don't have the money" Yami whispered. He felt the pain rushed through his jaw as Ushio punched him. He knew this was coming. He might as well get prepared. He took off his jacket and set it aside.
"Well since you don't have the money right now. I guess I have to punish you" Ushio said craking his knuckles. Yami stood there motionless awaiting for the pain to come Ushio fists.

As Tea got her notebook from her PE locker and closed the gym's door, she heard some noise not to far away and decided to check on it. Why was she checking it? She had no idea. She just felt something in her to go there. She felt rain drops falling and it began to rain. She being careful not to slip on the puddles. As she got closer to the niose she can hear a vioce talking.
"You see. You pathetic loner this is what happens when you take advantage of my work" Ushio said as he kept kicking Yami on the ground. Yami started to chocked out blood. Tea heard this and she started to think who was the 'pathetic loner'. Hey eyes widened.
'Can it be? The loner? Yami!' she thought. All of a sudden instead of calling Seto, she ran to the direction of the noise and vioces..

"I hope I thought you a valuable lesson Yami" Ushio said as picked up Yami and thrown him to the wall as he landed in a puddle. Tea gasped and camed running to him and had tears in her eyes from what she saw. Yami was soaking wet and had blood everywhere. His arm and leg covered in so much brusies it looked like he was crashed by a huge Hummer (A/N: that a name of a huge truck). He was having trouble with breathing and was pretty sure that a couple of his ribs maybe broken. He looked at her. His eyes showing so much pain and coldness. His deep cut on his face started to bleed once again. His blond bags were plaster to his face hiding another deep cut on his forehead. His left ear had a small cut was bleeding none the less. His lip was also bleeding and his cheeks showing many brusies. He started to noticed that the rain was falling harder.
"Get. Out.!" he said coldly while he put his hand on his ribs and was trying to get up. Tea holded back the tears.
"No." she said closing her eyes trying to control herself. Yami stared at her as she started to shake.
'Why the hell does she keep popping up everywhere today?' he asked himself.
"Well. Well. I never knew you had great taste Yami" teased Ushio. Tea got up and tried to slap him. He got her hand and twisted her arm. She yelled in pain as she felled on the ground holding her arm.
"Heh. Well you little wench since you brought yourself here and tried to slap me. I thing its best to give you the same punshiment that I gave Yami... What do you think Yami" Ushio said smiling smugly at Yami. Yami eyes widened. Ushio then stepped on Tea with all his weight. She screamed even louder. Yami couldn't take it. He got up and took all of his energy and punched the living hell out of Ushio. Ushio fell backward and hit the pole behind him and was knocked unconcious. Yami put his knee on the ground taking deep breaths. The pain was devasting no doubt but he chose not to cry about it. He heard Tea crying, grabbing her broken leg. He slowly walked to her and knelt in front of her. She looked up to see his
"Why did you come. I told you to get out of here" he said angirly. He didn't want anybody try to save him or else it would be his fault that they ended up in the hospital. And now it was his problem that this girl camed butting in and was beat up.
"I had... to stop... him...from ...hurting you..." she said between sobs.
"Why do you care?" he asked coldly. Tea felt a stabbed through her heart and closed her eyes. All of sudden Yami felled backwards and put his hands on his cheek with a shocked expression. Tea slapped him.
"How dare you" she said getting angry.
"How could you say that?" she said opening her eyes. They stared at eachother. Yami looked away not knowing what to do.
'Wh-who is she?' he thought. This time without any coldness in his vioce he asked her.
"W-wh- what is your n-name?" Tea cooled down and paused.
"Tea, Tea Mazaki" she answered. Yami stood there thinking about something. Tea watched him as he got up and pick up his damp jacket. He then went and handed it to her. Tea looked confused when she relizied that its been raining harder and her whole body shaking from the cold. She took the jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. The jacket was wet but it still held warmth around her. Yami bend down and put his back to her.
"Get on" he said. Tea once again looked at him confused. Yami sighed.
"Just get on before I change my mind" he said.
"But- your hurt badly" Tea said. Yami stood there. Did she care about him? Impossible. He shook off the possibility and shrugged.
"It doesn't hurt anymore. I got used to it by now" he reassured. Tea still wasn't sure but when she was trying to get up, she felt a stab in her feet. She yelped at the sudden pain. Yami turned around to catch her before she fell. They stood there for a while not sure what do next but staring into each other eyes. Yami felt something wierd. What was it? He did not know.
'What is she doing to me. What is this feeling I feel?' Yami thought confused.
'His eyes. Their changing a bit' Tea thought looking at his eyes. The clouds that were always in his eyes was soon disappearing with a new shine. Yami was starting to get more confused with the new feeling he was getting from Tea. He shook it off and helped her get on his back. Tea was also freaked out. This feeling that was coming from Yami was different then when they first met.
"Where do you live?" Yami whispered. Tea gave him her adressess and he walked quietly while carring her through the rain. He was now more then tired but he was willing to keep going. He then heard her whispered something.
"Thank you ...Yami" She said as Yami felt her head on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw her sleeping.
