I'm so sorry to those of you who waited so long for this next chapter to come out. I had a large portion of the chapters written in a book so I basically can't find it -.-;;;

Incase you haven't noticed from my other stories, my writing skills have completely changed. Now, I think it will be easier to understand ^.^;;;

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

Anyways, I'm revising my thoughts on this story so I can give this story an equal chance of which outcome. So as of now, I will be revising chapter one of this story soon. My writing skills have developed quite well since I started this story. I really like these 2 different pairings it's really going to be your choice to which couple it will end up as.

This chapter is a little bit of Yami and Tea. Yugi serves as a sort of mentor ^^;;; Like I said, I'm revising the first chapter so it goes into a bit into the Kaiba and Tea couple.

Will it be Seto Kaiba and Tea Gardner or Yami Yugi with Tea Gardner? It's your pick. Here are the rules. You are allowed to vote for a couple each chapter. You may NOT select both on one chapter. If you do, then your votes don't count. You MAY however vote for one couple in one chapter and a different couple in another chapter. It is your choice. For the voting polls, which ever couple with the highest amount of votes gets a lead for how the story turns out.

For example, if the numbers turn out that Kaiba and Tea have more votes than Yami Yugi and Tea after this chapter, then the next chapter I write will involve Kaiba and Tea getting closer which means a greater chance for Kaiba to hook up with Tea. Vice versa if Yami Yugi and Tea have more votes.

I will be keeping track of the voting process. As I get to the last chapter, that's when the voting really counts.

Chapter Two: Heart To Heart Talk

"WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS PUNISHMENT?!" screamed Tea.

The gang just looked at her weirdly. However, they don't blame Tea for going insane because of this. Who the heck would want to stick around with Kaiba? At least the gang had sympathy for her at the moment.

Yugi, being the good natured one tried desperately to calm her down while Yami Yugi was sitting alone in solitude as always.

Joey Wheeler, the tall blonde, was arm wrestling with one his friends known as Tristen Taylor. Seems like neither of those airheads where winning.

Bakura watched Joey and Tristen with amusement as if he was acting out as a referee if anything gets out of hand with those two macho men.

"Come on Tea, cheer up. It's not as bad as it may seem. Kaiba can be really nice even if doesn't really show it." says Yugi.

Tea sighed at the thought. Kaiba nice? That'll happen when hell freezes over.

"Look Yugi, I know that really, really, REALLY deep down inside that he's nice…"as Tea cringed at the thought, "…but that doesn't mean that he is."

Yugi only frowned at Tea. "Tea, just give him a chance. You always said you wanted to befriend him right?"

Tea paused at his words. Yeah she tried to befriend Kaiba in the past. Heck, she tried that many times. It wasn't her fault that he didn't accept her kindness. He didn't need her. Right?

"Yugi, I'm going to be friends with him only if he wants to. I'm not going to force him. I wish I could but there's not much I can do to change the fact that he's so distant to me as much as everyone else." replied Tea.

Yugi only glanced down with less hopeful eyes. Tea watched Yugi as he lost hope. She sighed. As frustrating as this may seem, she hated to see Yugi act like this.

"Yugi, why do you insist to be so nice to Kaiba when you know he's not going to return the same friendship?" as Tea asked with curiosity.

Yugi looked up and into Tea's eyes and spoke with much sincerity. "Kaiba is as human as you or I. He needs someone to talk to. Your always saying how much you wanted to make friends. How Kaiba doesn't have that chance?"

As much as she hated to admit, Yugi was right.

"After all he puts you through, you still want him as a friend?" asked Tea as she remembered all the past events.

"Yes", as Yugi put it simply.

Tea growled in frustration. How the heck does she get herself into these things? "Why me?" muttered Tea.

"Because…" as Yugi replied unexpectedly, "… I know you can change Kaiba."

Tea stared back at Yugi in confusion. Before she can ask Yugi what he meant, class was about to start. Tea wondered in her mind what Yugi had told her. Her expression still contained the puzzling look. That phrase continued to linger in her memory like a broken record.

'…I know you can change Kaiba.'

"Is something wrong Tea?"

Tea turned around as she felt a gentle hand on her shoulder. Her ocean blue eyes met with deep violet eyes.

"Oh, hey Yami…" replied Tea.

Yami however frowned at her lack of energy.

"Is something wrong Tea?" as Yami spoke in a concerned tone.

Tea looked up to Yami and smiled at distress for her.

"Thanks for asking Yami" as Tea spoke softly. She smiled tenderly at his friendly attempts to help her. He continued walking with Tea as they entered into their next class.

"I'll talk to you after class okay Yami?" asked Tea before they entered the classroom. Yami looked back to Tea and nodded in acknowledgement. Tea shot back a friendly smile to him and stepped into her classroom.
