Hushpuppy24: During the last chapter, Seto was having troubles falling asleep. He woke up late the next morning to find his little brother absorbed in the Saturday morning cartoons. Over at Yugi's house, Téa made breakfast and told Yugi that Joey and Tristan wanted them to meet outside the arcade. Eagerly waiting for their friends, Joey and Tristan paced back and forth outside the arcade. When they spotted their other two friends, they ran up to them in shock to see Téa there. Tristan asked Téa where she had been for the past few days, but when she mentioned Kaiba, Joey totally spazzed out.

******************
"Why would you even want to spend one minute with that jerk?! He's pure evil! He ripped up Yugi's grandpa's Blue Eyes White Dragon card!" Joey exclaimed causing a huge commotion. His eye twitched at the thought of Kaiba.
"Joey, calm down. Téa has a good reason..." Yugi said as he reassured his friend and trying to keep his temper down.
"You know, nobody is pure evil...even Kaiba. He may have ripped up the Blue Eyes White Dragon, but that was him before! If you'd only give him a chance..." Téa's voice lowered. "He's changed a lot."
"Why are you even defending that creep? Did he brainwash you or somethin'?" Joey's temper lowered as he asked.
Téa's eyes grew a little wider, thinking to herself, 'Why am I defending him? He's Kaiba after all!' "Well... He has a good heart. He just doesn't show it often, that's all... Besides, I'm not defending him... I'm just...uh...pointing out the inner qualities of him..." Téa denied with excuses. "Since you guys never see it and all that..."
"Oh...is that all?" Joey looked at her suspiciously. He gave a little smirk. "For a minute there I thought you might've even liked that guy!" He teased.
"Me?" Téa laughed nervously as she pointed at herself. "No..."
Yugi's face showed a sign of hurt as the inside of his heart seemed to rip in two. 'Why do I have the feeling she's lying...'
Noticing Yugi's expression before everyone else, Joey quickly changed the subject. "So you guys wanna go play some video games or what?" He asked as he slowly inched towards the arcade.
"I am so there man!" Tristan announced with glee. "Dibs on Mario Smash Brothers! You're going down Joey!" He called out as he ran towards the arcade with excitement, with Joey, Yugi and Téa trailing behind him.
"Like you'll ever beat the champ!" Joey said sarcastically with a grin on his face that stretched from ear to ear.
"Wait for us!" Téa shouted from behind with Yugi behind her, running as fast as his little legs could carry him to keep up with his friends.
******************
Inside Kaiba's mansion, Seto slowly approached his balcony in his room. He leaned up against the rail, watching the tides of the sea crash against the rocks below. His eyes show definite signs of tiredness, but his brain refused to rest and let him sleep. He took in a breath of fresh air and closed his eyes. 'Why does she care so much for me?' Opening his eyes, he stared out into the deep blue of the ocean. 'More importantly... Why do I care so much for her?' His head ached from thinking the same questions over and over, but the answers just didn't come to him.
Mokuba observed his brother at a distance from the doorway. 'Seto sure is acting strange... I hope he's ok...' He watched his brother for several minutes until he finally left.
Still standing at the balcony, Seto allowed the wind's breeze to gently wisp through his hair. His deep blue eyes closed in thought, as the unanswerable questions lingered in his mind.
******************
Hours passed as Yugi and his friends finally stepped outside the arcade. Their eyes blinded by the shimmering glow of the sun, causing their eyes to sting.
"That sure was some match between the two of you." Yugi pointed out.
"Yea...and I would've won too if I had just five more seconds!" Tristan whined in defeat.
"And the champ remains...the champ!" Joey announced in victory, as he laughed manically. His other three friends stared at him nervously as they slowly moved away from him. Joey stopped laughing all of a sudden and was dead silent. He lifted his nose to the air and started sniffing. "Hotdogs!" He shouted with excitement as drool slowly formed at the edge of his mouth. "I'm gonna go get some, you guys want any?" Joey asked as he pointed towards the hotdog stand down the street.
"Sure!" They all replied together.
"Yugi, why don't you come help me?" Joey asked his tri-colour haired friend.
"Uh...sure..." Yugi replied as he and Joey slowly walked down the street and towards the hotdog stand.
"So Tristan," Téa began to ask. "What happened in school while I was gone?" Tristan sighed and started to inform her of the events she missed during the times when she was away.
******************
Joey looked behind him. Knowing that he and Yugi were at a far enough distance from Téa and Tristan so that they won't be heard, he began to speak. "Hey Yug..." He turned his head to meet his gaze. "Ya know you should really tell Téa how you feel."
Yugi blushed a little. "I know..."
"Then why don't you do that?" Joey asked, sounding a little impatient.
"I..." Yugi hesitated. "I can't..."
"Why not?" Joey asked before reaching to the hotdog stand and paying for the four hotdogs. Each of them took two in their hands and began walking back.
"What if she says no?" Yugi asked quietly with his head down. "Besides, I think she has someone else in mind..."
Joey, who had already started eating away at his hotdog, asked with his mouth full in a muffled voice. "Like who?"
"You'd think that I was crazy...but..." Yugi took a small bite out of his hotdog before continuing. "Kaiba..."
Joey's eyes bulged out, nearly choking at his hotdog. "KAIBA?!" He exclaimed in shock. "Why him?!"
"You should've seen her yesterday..." Yugi swallowed. "She yelled at me..." There was a silent pause. Joey was about to speak when Yugi continued. "...because she was defending Kaiba...just like this morning..."
Joey rolled his eyes as he looked at his friend in disbelief. "Yugi, you know that Téa's always defendin' for people, so you shouldn't worry...but if you keep up this attitude, maybe you would lose her to Kaiba someday." He teased. They soon returned to their other two friends with the hotdogs.
"Hey! My hotdog is missing a bite!" Tristan hollered out. "JOEY!"
"I got hungry!" Joey excused, as he began to run in circles around Yugi and Téa as Tristan trailed behind. The two in the centre just laughed as Joey ran for his life.
'I hope Joey's right...' Yugi thought.
Hushpuppy24: Ok...that didn't sound as good as it did when it appeared in my mind...but it's ok...-_- So now Yugi likes Téa! ^^ Wonder what she'll think...? Anyways...next chapter going up as soon as possible~! R+R ^^
