"Tea's Confusion and Crush [Revised]"
Chapter Three
By Petit Angel Girl
Yami x Anzu – YuGiOh!/Yuugiou Duel Monsters
Summary: A revision of my first YuGiOh! fanfic, with a few changes made and now in regular story form.
After spending more time at the restaurant, Yugi and Tea both begin making their way back to the Game Shop, Joey and Tristan going their separate ways as well. Tea soon starts to think about Yami and his possible feelings for her: If he did love her, he'd want her to be safe no matter what, right? Then, she gets an idea. One that perhaps Ishizu could help her with.
"Yugi?"
"Yes, Tea?"
"I'm going to make a quick stop over to the museum. I need to speak to Ishizu about something."
"Ishizu? But why?"
"It's something I don't have time to explain. You go on ahead, I'll catch up once I'm finished."
"Well…okay, Tea. Be careful."
She watches him go and makes her way toward Domino Museum. It isn't until she's inside that she sees how quiet and dimly lit the place is, the only sound being the click of her heels as her shoes hit the tile floor.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" Looking around in the equally dark basement, she was beginning to wonder if anyone was here.
"There is. And who are you?" That was Ishizu's voice. Tea makes her way over to see the young woman working in the Egyptian section.
"Ishizu? Forgive me if I'm disturbing you."
"Oh, Tea. How nice to see you." she says with a smile as she looks up. "You're not disturbing me at all. In fact, I was growing quite bored working here by myself."
Ishizu? Bored? Tea just nods and smiles, finding the former tombkeeper's statement somewhat humorous. "I was wondering if you could help me with something. It's about Yami-I mean, the pharaoh."
She nods, listening. "What seems to be the problem? He's doing well in modern life, is he not?"
"He's doing okay. But, see, I think that…" Tea feels herself blush again as she hesitates, knowing that she's about to tell her biggest secret to another friend. "I think I've developed feelings for him, yet I'm not sure he feels the same way about me. But knowing him, he'd want me to be safe at all times. That's what I wanted to ask you about…Would it be possible for you to…perhaps give me powers of my own?"
"I'm not sure there's really a spell for that. And even if there is, it might take me awhile to find it."
"I understand. I'm in no hurry."
"But are you sure you really want this?" She nods. She felt she was not only doing it for her own benefit…but his as well. Ishizu closes the book she'd been reading and turns to her. "Do you have some spare time? These books are heavy."
Tea nods. And soon, they are in a small, dusty office with many rows of large leather-bound books on the shelves. Tea watches as Ishizu takes a few out and they then begin searching for the spell. During their search, Ishizu also tells Tea how also might've had a past life in Ancient Egypt and about her brother who, to Tea's surprise, would be arriving soon.
After awhile, the spell is found. Ishizu explains that Tea will need something to contain her newfound power and walks over to a small cabinet, finding and pulling out a soft pink gem.
"Rose quartz will do nicely." Tea is amazed at how beautiful it looks. "It is one of my favorites. Many shades, many moods, is what people say. It's exactly your style." Tea watches as she gently rests it in her palm. "Now for the spell. If you could stand in front of the bookcase and hold it out in your hands, please? Oh, and you may want to lean against something." she continues, giving another rare smile. "This spell has a bit of a kick."
So she does as told, watching as the Millennium Necklace glows while Ishizu softly chants the spell, all the while keeping direct eye contact. Then, a soft beam of light shoots from her necklace and into the gem. The spell was now complete.
"You can wear that item two ways." She explains as she walks toward the brunette. "As a necklace or even as a bracelet. To transform, say 'Carpe Diem'. To change back, say 'Biaw'."
Giving a nod and deciding that she should probably leave before Ishizu's brother Marik arrived, she closes her eyes and says the words, taking the form of the red fox. She then thanks her friend and quickly leaves.
However, just as she reaches the exit, she hears a voice nearby. Wasting no time, she hides behind one of the large statues…
