Chapter 5…Sorry to keep you guys waiting but I've been pretty busy lately!
Anyway here's the rest of this story, though I still obviously haven't
finished it! As usual I don't own YuGiOh, or any of its characters…blah
blah blah, I'll just get on with it!
"Mr Motou!" yelled Tristan as he opened the door of the turtle game shop. Stepping inside, he saw the usual neat array of cards, stocked in cabinets under the counter, and various decks piled on shelves surrounding the inner walls of the shop. The counter itself was shining brightly, reflecting the early afternoon sun into his eyes.
"I don't think he's in…" answered Yugi, as he entered the store, hand-in- hand with Téa. Eyeing the place warily, he noticed a white slip of paper lying on the counter.
"Hey what's that?" asked Téa, pointing at the note. Steadily, she walked towards the till and picked up the scrappy piece of paper, holding it in front of her face.
"What does it say Téa?" asked Yugi, bewildered. Why was the door open if there was nobody here? Something was wrong, he thought…Grandpa should be here…it wasn't like him to just leave the shop unattended. Something had to be wrong, he could sense it.
Tristan eyed the paper over, as Téa began to read:
"Dear Yugi,
I've had to visit a dear friend of mine in Tokyo, so I won't be back until about nightfall. I hope I can count on you to look after the shop while I'm out, I'll only be gone a while.
Sugoruko
PS: Where were you yesterday night? I phoned around but no one I asked knew where you were, and it seems like you just disappeared for a while!"
"So that's why you took us here!" Yugi said, leaning on the counter in front of Téa, setting his eyes on Tristan, "You knew that Grampa was out, so you brought us here to look out for the place while he was gone"
"Yeah…but that's not the only reason," Tristan replied cunningly, obviously quite pleased that he had fooled them into coming back, "I needed to talk to you guys about how Joey's been lately…"
Settling down around the table towards the back of the shop, Tristan began to tell the pair how Joey's disastrous night out with Mai had gone. Yugi seemed to be nodding his head throughout, while Téa proceeded to wander around the aisles aimlessly.
"But that still doesn't explain why Joey would want to hurt Téa" Yugi added finally, "I can understand why he'd be mad at himself, and even Mai maybe…but why Téa?"
"I guess Téa just got caught in the firing line" Tristan added meekly. Even he had his doubts over Joey's faithfulness to Mai…that incident a few nights ago had really put a different spin on their relationship. Well, according to Joey it had…
"I'm gonna have to sort this out," Tristan concluded, "I don't think Joey can pull through this on his own…"
"Where have we heard that before?" Téa smirked, and Yugi's face turned a pale red colour. But then again, maybe Tristan would have better luck than they had…he was closer to Joey than she or Yugi were. And as best friends nothing would stand in Tristan's way of helping Joey, everyone knew that.
"Well I'll leave you guys in charge of the shop then" Tristan pointed out, starting for the door.
"Yeah you're right, nothing we can do for Joey anymore" Yugi agreed, "And besides, he'd hate us to baby him…"
Tristan cringed slightly, and left the store, closing the door behind him. Almost immediately, Yugi slouched back defeatedly into his chair…his face now solemn and depressed. Then again, how was he supposed to feel? He half- knew what was wrong with Joey the entire time, and now it had been confirmed, he felt even worse that he hadn't been able to help out at all. Of course Téa noticed the depressing aura surrounding Yugi as she walked briskly towards him.
"Err Yugi…is something wrong?" she asked politely. Yugi simply nodded his head again, his golden bangs drooping slightly over his eyes. He quickly brushed them away, revealing his sad and longing gaze. Téa felt her heart drop as she realised that the reply wasn't going to be a simple one…
"I…I couldn't do anything for him…I was useless, even though I knew what was wrong with him," he stuttered, bowing his head, allowing the tears to flow freely down his face.
This was so much like Yugi, Téa thought to herself. He was always so worried about the people around him… some people thought of it as a weakness, and it wasn't his fault that Joey hadn't wanted to talk about it. At least she knew how much it hurt to let someone you really care about drift away from you. Maybe Yugi didn't realise that the people around him felt the same way, and that this wasn't just a one-way relationship…perhaps that's how Joey had seen his relationship with Mai. She smirked as she realised how much the two were alike, despite their appearances. But the task at hand had separated them more than anything before…and maybe she could pick up the pieces.
"Yugi it isn't your fault," she replied tenderly, wrapping her arms around him, "No-one means for these things to happen."
The phrase seemed to have the desired effect…Yugi was trying to hold back his tears, she could sense it, but now she was getting somewhere. He stood upright and hugged her back.
"Thanks Téa…I don't know where I'd be without you."
Téa rested her head on Yugi's shoulder, a cold sensation tingling all over her body… but she was going to get Yugi back on track, and nothing was going to stop her.
"We'll pull through this together Yugi"
Then something peculiar happened…the entire world appeared to disappear around them. Holding Yugi tightly, Téa whirled around to see the room surrounding them fade away into the distance.
"What's happening Yugi?" she asked frantically. Yugi just smiled sweetly and rested his gaze on hers.
"I'm taking us somewhere where we can be alone for a while," he answered, moving his hands down to her hips. Her back began to tingle again, but this time she felt a warm sensation all over her body…her hands rested on Yugi's, acknowledging his presence, and nuzzled her face into his.
This was right, Yugi thought, his millennium puzzle glowing brightly. She wanted him all along, despite his emotional façade… watching the world fade into the darkness; he felt truly needed for the first time, as they approached the scene he had created for them in his mind.
The floor shimmered in a deep violet colour, illuminated by the brilliant white lights suspended above it. The entwined figures cast a long shadow over it, as they arrived in the centre of the dancefloor. Téa curiously peeked her head out from Yugi's chest, admiring the glistening floor, shining into her eyes like sapphire. Slowly, Yugi began to let go of her, standing no more than a metre away from her. Suddenly, he rose his right hand in the air and clicked his fingers together, and a soft bass line appeared to eminate from all around them.
Téa stood, totally spellbound, by the light music surrounding them. Her face was a picture of confusion and serenity, as Yugi held out his hand to her.
"C'mon, this won't last forever!" he said, almost rolling the words off of his tongue, and grinning widely. Téa returned the grin with a smile of her own, and leaned her hand into his. Gently swaying, they began to move in time to the music, dancing hand in hand, never letting each other out of their deep and caring gazes.
1 I can't believe you're here with me
And now it seems my world's complete
And I never want this moment to end
I close my eyes and still I see
1.1 My dreams become reality
And now I know
How it feels
To be loved
I prayed so many nights for you to come my way
An angel from above to light my darkest day
I think it's time
For you to heed these lines
'Cause there's something I wanna say
Finally found what I've been looking for
And now you know I'm gonna love you more
Hold me tight, 'cause it's always been you
To think that you were always there
Being my friend, and wiping away my tears
Now it's clear that it's always been you
Sometimes you don't expect that friends
Can become lovers in the end
Only God knows what the future will bring
So hold me close and don't let go
'Cause this is love boy, don't you know?
And we're gonna be
Together for
Eternity
I prayed so many nights for you to come my way
An angel from above to light my darkest day
Love so strong
It can't be wrong
It's with you that I belong
Finally found what I've been looking for
And now you know I'm gonna love you more
Hold me tight, 'cause it's always been you
To think that you were always there
Being my friend, and wiping away my tears
Now it's clear that it's always been you
(This Time) This Time
I'm gonna make sure it turns out alright
I wanna be
Your everything
By your side
For the rest of my life
(This Love) This love
Feels the way that love should be
Look in my eyes
And realise
There's no disguise
'Cause I'm in love with you
Finally found what I've been looking for
And now you know I'm gonna love you more
Hold me tight, 'cause it's always been you
To think that you were always there
Being my friend, and wiping away my tears
Now it's clear that it's always been you
As the music started to fade, the couple began to notice the daylight surrounding them again. Holding each other tightly, they stared at each other happily.
"Well…I hope that was as good for you as it was for me," Yugi broke in a whisper. He didn't get a response…Téa was hung over him, her lips parted over his in a fierce and passionate kiss. Losing herself in him, Téa couldn't have been happier, her head glazed over in a rush of adrenaline that had overcome her. Ah forget anyone else, Yugi's the only one I want, she thought. No one had ever treated her this way…affectionate hugs anywhere they could find, laughing hysterically out and about…and finally dancing under the cover of darkness, with only the flame of each other's passion lighting the world around them. This wasn't just some lust for one another…this was something more…an empathy with each other defying the very bounds of temptation and limit of emotion.
Releasing her eternal hold over him, she cocked back her head and stood back up, realising that they were back in the store. Yugi gazed up at her, his eyes slightly closed, as if in a trance. She giggled at his apparent reaction, but it didn't last long.
"Well I guess that was OK…." Yugi replied in a monotone. He couldn't keep a straight face…suddenly he burst out in a fit of laughter.
2 "That's it? Just OK! Yugi I'm gonna kill you!" Téa yelled, also laughing. She quickly dived at Yugi, but he dodged out of the way, and she rammed right into a case of Cards. Yugi sped off to another side of the store, before realising that Téa wasn't following him. He peered around the corner to see her lying on the floor, clutching her leg.
3 "Téa…are you OK?" he enquired, sounding concerned, as he began to walk over to her. 4 "It's my leg," she answered painfully. Yugi rushed over top where she was slumped against the cabinet, and leaned over her, with a very remorseful look plastered all over his face. She looked like she was in some distress, so he leaned over her a little closer to see the extent of the damage. 5 "Hey I'm sorry I didn't want this to…"
6 "Ha gotcha!" she yelled, kicking her leg out at his, causing him to tumble over, hitting his head on the cabinet, and landing on top of her. Initially, Yugi clutched at his head, but again laughed hysterically at how stupid he'd been, and so did Téa for a while…until they realised the awkward position they were in.
7 Yugi stopped laughing, and lightly brushed the strands of brown hair over Téa's face to one side, kissing her gently on the forehead. She giggled again at his reaction, before looking deep into his eyes and realising there was so much more to it…
8 "Uh Téa…can I ask you something?"

10 HAHAHA! Guess that created a bit of suspense for y'all, but I still didn't get any replies on whether or not any of you wanted me to write a lemon for this chapter…so I kind of extended the storyline a little… anyway I hope you liked it. I spent most of this afternoon thinking this up, and I'd like to know what you ppl out there think as always ( so keep writing those reviews…and more importantly whether or not you want to see a Yugi/Téa lemon next chapter!
