It's In Your Eyes

Chapter 37

Author Notes: New chappy and holy cow guys i gotta be honest. I was sorta expecting you guys to be pissed at me for revealing a dramatic plot twist that is Yugi, but not only did it seem like you guys understood why Yugi felt that way, but on top of that, you guys said you loved the chapter.

Of course though...Sen has to ruin it with his april fools day prank which I noticed almost immediately several of you weren't happy with. As such the prank chapter has been deleted, and the real new chapter is up. As i wrote in the prank chapter that I was horribly sorry for letting him do it.

So that we're all on the same page. I feel terrible, i love you all and again thank you all so much for your support and patience. OtakunAlexia, and XxLuciixX faved~ Leshira followed! Yue in the Stars, Unitato722, whitlaw123, Ern Estine 13624, Sagario reviewed~ Now let's get going ladies and gents. I do not own Yugioh!

3rd P.O.V

It's been a month since Yugi confessed her past to her friends, and she was glad to see not much has changed between her and the gang. If anything they were probably even more protective and worrywarts about her then they were before.

But she'd take it over them being distant or awkward with her any day of the week. She knew that it was hard for all of them to hear of her past thoughts of suicide.

Even though she made it perfectly clear that she's happier then she's ever been and had no desires to go down that potential path because they were there with her, they were still cautious.

They knew she wasn't made of glass, so they did their best to act normal and to be honest it wasn't that hard. still though, it was a tough pill to swallow. Reality is truly cruel to those who live it. To everyone, especially the short girl, her confession of her past was for the better.

There were no longer any secrets between her and them. She can finally move on and find the strength to truly feel at peace. Not that she didn't still think or talk to Ryou though. That didn't really change, and probably never will. He was a huge part of her life, and to this day still is.

She won't ever forget who he was and what he meant to her. What did change was how Yugi thought of herself, she felt more confident, more sure of life and the wonders it had.

People found her more willing to really interact with people without that habitual fake smile or feeling like an odd one out. She was happy and nothing was going to hold her back from keeping it.

Mai was glad to her cousin finally acting like girls her age should. Which was why she dragged her and Tea to an all girls day out. Serenity unfortunately couldn't make it since she was already going on a date with Duke.

Currently they were in a fast food joint. Eating some grub. Yugi of course was munching on her favorite burger. "Thanks for taking us out Mai~" Tea agrees sipping her shake.

"Yeah don't get me wrong. I love hanging out with the guys, but it's nice just for us girls to hang out once in awhile." The model takes a bite of her salad, smiling at the pair. "No problem~ I figured you two and I could do some shopping and have a slumber party! I haven't done one of those in years."

Being a model was very time consuming, and very demanding. Mai had to watch what she ate, she had to follow an endless schedule of dress rehearsals, traveling to various places, having conversations with people that range from polite to down right assholes.

It wasn't a walk in the park being a celebrity that's for sure, especially when in America there's nothing but an endless river of paparazzi that just love getting into ones life and digging up dirty secrets to release in magazines.

The blonde found that life to be incredibly annoying, which is why she was more than happy to stay overseas at her grandfather and cousins house while on vacation. Especially since her little cousin is in love~

Mana and Mai have been dying to see Yugi and Yami together, completely supporting the pair. The two ladies were determined to get them together. "Soooo Yugi~ Word on the street is you're crushing on a certain hottie you're close to~" Tea giggled noticing her friend getting so red in the face.

"What?! NO! I mean..." Mai laughed, she was so mean. "Come now doll, it's easy to see. You and Yami would be so cute together~ Tea love, back me up here." Much to Yugi's despair her classmate agreed one hundred percent.

Forcing her to hide her face on the table. "It's true Yugi, I've seen the way you look at him and you guys had the audience captivated as the lead roles from the play. There was some serious chemistry there!" The teen almost forgot about the play.

Well she could forget if Mai stopped watching it as if it was her new favorite soap opera. Sadly that didn't seem to end any time soon. "Forget about me cousin, what about you and Valon? Or Tea aren't you apparently seeing a certain someone?"

Like the sneaky tactician she was, Yugi smirked as she managed to take reign of the situation, the two sitting before her could feel the tide changing in short maidens' favor. Tea had just recently, like literally a few days started dating Tristan.

Yes he could be an idiot, but he was an embarrassed, sweet awkward kind of an idiot. For awhile now he had moved on from his crush Serenity, wishing the ginger only the best and made sure Duke knew he'd be all over his ass should he screw up.

What made things surprising was that Tea was the one who asked him out a couple weeks ago. And though he was unsure, he decided to give it a shot, telling her that he wasn't sure how he'd feel but wanted to give it a chance and see how it played out.

So the two took it slow, keeping it a temporary secret until they were truly sure that this was what they wanted. And it seemed to go well, Tea and Tristan were already good friends, so there was no embarrassing q and a going on. The pair never went above and beyond when it came to their outings.

They went to the movies, played games and just hanged out, there was no pressure, and they had fun. Just the other day they went to dinner and Tristan finally gave her his answer, yes.

Things were going well, and the rest of the group had nothing but congrats to them. Though this time it was Duke promising a good ass kicking should the brunette decide to mess up. It was all in good spirits though. "Not nice Yugi..." Tea frowned, eating her fries.

On the other hand, Mai's romance was facing complications, it was easy to note that she was getting a light blush coat on her cheeks. "Well um-it's...a work in progress." Both highschoolers lean in, eager to hear about her love life.

"We've gone on a few dates, but I don't think we're gonna be a thing." The girls look at her glum expression in confusion. "Why not Mai? You guys seem really happy together."

Reaching out the model ruffles Yugi's head, sending locks flying. "Yeah but remember I don't live here. I'm only on vacation, soon I'll have to go. Japan and America are too far away for a long distance relationship."

She was actually so..sad about the whole scenario. Valon and her were amazing friends, and both of them loved each other dearly but she didn't want to force him into anything and vice versa. Plus her manager would be royally pissed off at Mai for being in a relationship.

Valentina was a woman of elegance and sexiness, who knew what she wanted and got it. She was like a prized jewel that couldn't be touched, unobtainable. Yeah, her manager and probably most of her American fans would chew Valon out left and right.

Though she knew him to be tough as nails and ignore everyones harsh criticisms, she didn't want him dealing with the pressure of dating someone famous. "I think if you love him Mai, you should be honest with him and see what he thinks."

Mai casts Tea a sad smile. "I want to, I really do, but it's not that easy. I can't just stay here, no matter how much I want to, and I know Valon has his dreams and life here. I won't take that away from him just to be with me." Sighing her sixteen year old kin grabs Mai's manicured hands.

"Tell you what Mai...if you talk to Valon, and I mean really talk to him, and see where this relationship, takes you, then I'll contemplate on telling Yami how I feel. Is that a-" A pair of bone crushing arms wrapped around the tiny girls frame.

She didn't finish but Mai was only more than happy to scream multiple yesses while spinning her poor relative around in the middle of a fast food joint. Tea laughing from her chair.

Already our heroine was starting to regret her decision. It was times like now that she wished she wasn't such a good person. Because now she had to contemplate on how she's going to tell Yami of all people that she liked him.

"Now let's go do some shopping!" Groaning Yugi was dragged away by the two, now she really was going to regret this! Since Tea and Mai kept mentioning a complete makeover! "Why me?"
