Thanks to my reviewer .Heres the second update...please review me and give me some ideas of what to do next. Especially about what you think happened in their pasts, and how well they know each other...maybe I'll change what Im gonna write based on your ideas cos mine arent that great ( I dont think) Thanks Oh see first episode for disclaimer.

Zia turned around and stared at Joey. 'His grown' she noted in absentminded shock ' And his hairs gotten slightly darker'

"Zia?" he asked her again, half expectant, half afraid.She looked exactly like he remembered her.

' God it was good to see him again!' she though as she stared at him 'But I cant talk to him...I cant put him in any more danger then he already is' Her mind raced frantically and Joey laughed slightly selfconcious as she looked at him.

" Are you gonna stare at me or are you gonna talk?" he asked slightly embarrased.

The bell rang for class and the passages were deserted in every direction.The world seemed to stop spinning and time seemed to slow. ' To talk to him...' she sighed with pleasure...' But You cant!!!' wailed the thoughts that still had a concience ' He'll die!!!'. She squashed that thought ruthlessly.

" Meet me at the cafe after school" she whispered softly at last and ran off, her cheeks flaming.

' I've missed him so much...' she thought sadly ' and he might die if we get close...' Turning into her classroom she shut off the thoughts plauging her and apologised for being late. It wasnt the time or place...not now.

Joey stared after her retreating form and seemed to awaken from a day dream. He hurried off to class and wondered why Zia was acting so mysterious...he bet it was because of Pegasus, but he didnt know what to do. If he had hurt her in any way....well he'd find some way to make him pay. Zia was exactly how he remembered her, delicate and sweet, even a bit fragile at times '- in need of my protection,-' he thought 'But she should know that she can always flee to the shelter offered by my arms in her times of need, no matter how big or small the threat.' He sighed..." Wish someone could help me against my dad." he half muttered, vowing never to let anyone hurt Zia the way his father hurt him time and again. He stepped into Biology already prepared for the anger of yet another irate teacher but he was in luck as the teacher hadnt yet arrived. " Hey Joey, what kept you?" yelled Tristan as Joey hurried over to the gang, (minus Yugi and Bakura who were in different classes [science] at the time.) After a quick debate of whether or not to tell the others about Zia he decided not " Oh, you know me," he muttered " I forgot what I had and then got yelled at by the principal. Tristan flinched in sympathy..." Harsh man...pretty harsh." Tea looked over at him with a strange expression on her face. " Joey, Mr Winter was in hear just before you...he couldnt have kept you back." Joey blushed..." Oh you know me, I get teachers confused all the time." he lied glibbly. " Yeah, sure." replied Tea still looking at him strangely. " Hey Joey," she asked as casually as she could. " Yeah Tea?" he asked unpacking his books. " Where'd you get that bruise from?" she pointed at his arm as he took his jacket off. Quickly he put it back on again, cursing himself for his stupidity. " Oh, I ...ah..." he started to stuttered when he was saved by the enterence of Mr Marthinus. " Morning class, take out your books and turn to page 57 in your textbooks." Boomed the late teacher. Joey quickly turned in his book to the page thanking God for the intervention. He was running out of excuses fast for all his bruises and Tea ( being the good friend that she was) kept track of all his hurts and was slowly growing suspicious.
