A/N: I would really appreciate it if those that review The Cruelest Heart or Yubel's Twisted World review this story and New Student Dreams along with my others. Thanks in advance!
Last Time
Yami looked back at Yugi, hoping he would cheer up at the news.
"Who was that?" Yugi asked quietly.
"It was Tea. She and Joey are coming over to visit for a while." Yami replied.
Yugi gave a half-hearted smile and nodded. "Fine." He replied, trying to sound happy but you could tell deep down he didn't totally mean it because of his depression state.

"Aibou?" Yami asked Yugi, still a little worried over his depression state.
Yugi's soft amethyst eyes met Yami's ruby ones. "Yes?" Yugi asked in reply.
"What's really wrong? Why are you so depressed lately young one?" Yami asked, his worried but loving older brother-like side showing as he looked at the teen whom he shared an identity with as he had virtually no memories of his own past except that he locked away the dark magic of the Shadow Games 5000 years ago, and as a safety measure erased his own mind.
"If only I knew, Yami. If only I knew." Yugi replied softly.
Yami thought for a few moments but mentally cursed himself when he could find no explanation for his hikari's deep depression. Yugi didn't seem to know either unless he had purposely made himself forget his reasoning but Yami brushed that off as he knew how deeply Yugi trusted him with things so the idea of Yugi hiding something from the ancient Pharaoh was simply foolish if not quite comical to Yami for he laughed softly at the thought but Yugi didn't bother to ask what it was his Yami was laughing at, anyway as he doubted it would help him.
Meanwhile at Joey Wheeler's house his doorbell rang.
Joey was a few inches shorter than Yami if not equal in height. His hair is a sort of messy dirty-blonde style while he has brown eyes.
Joey slowly got up from his couch and went over to his door to open it.
He opened it and gasped in surprise. "Tea? What are ya doing here?" The blonde asked her.
Tea had dark brown hair and sparkling crystal-blue eyes. She smiled at her friend as she answered. "Well Yugi's still depressed so I promised Yami that you and I would come over."
Joey sighed lightly hearing his best friend was still depressed but cheered up almost right away at the prospect of seeing Yugi again. "Well let's go." Joey replied, having been already dressed and had his Duel Disk already prepared to duel just in case he needed to in order to snap Yugi out of his depression.
Tea giggled and nodded as she started on the way to Yugi's house while Joey securely locked up his own. "Joey, hurry up!" She called with a teasing grin.
"All right, all right sheesh. Can't a guy lock his place up for safety?" Joey muttered as he hurried to catch up with her.
"Our focus is Yugi, remember?" Tea reminded.
"Oh yeah." Joey replied, blushing.
Tea chuckled and shook her head, lightly.
About 20 minutes later they arrived, hoping they could help Yugi in any way possible for his and Yami's sake.
