Chapter 2



The next day, Yugi decided to go to the park. There he ran into Joey and Mai. They still argued like they always did, but they were now a couple. "Hey Yugi!" Mai shouted as she waved. She couldn't figure out why he looked so bad.

"Oh hi," Yugi said gloomily. He was a little bit glad to see Joey and Mai happy.

"What's the matter? Oh and where's Tea?" Mai absent-mindedly said. Joey's face looked so pale.

"Yugi, sorry, I forgot to tell her!' he said.

"You forgot?!? You idiot! How could you forget to tell her about Tea dying?" Yugi shouted. He was enraged. Even Yami felt Yugi's anger. He was so worried that he tried to take over Yugi, but Yugi stopped him. "She was one of your best friends!"

"What? Tea died?" Mai said. "She was such a great duelist." Those were the words that pushed Yugi too far.

"SHE WAS A GREAT DUELIST!?! YOU DITZ!! SHE WAS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT! I LOVED HER!!!!"

"Look Yugi, I didn't know her that well I'm sure she was a wonderful person!" Mai tried to say, but Yugi had run away. "Joseph! How could you not have told me?! I'm you're girlfriend, JERK!" Everyone in the park had now been staring for quite some time. Mai and Joey were now beet red, and Mai also ran away. This was leaving Joey feeling stupid and embarrassed.

Yugi walked alone to the cemetery. To Tea's grave. There he would truly be alone. When he got there he cried and cried. He thought about her dreams, her ambitions that she would've never been able to act out. All the people that would never know her. "Yugi."

"Yami, I can't do this. It's just too hard!" he cried. He punched Tea's tombstone. His knuckles were bleeding. It was now raining, the rain was a darkness and sadness that Yugi accepted. Yami felt his pain. He knelt down beside him and hugged him.

"You guys we have to do this! There's no other choice, now," Joey told the group of Tristan, Mai, Serenity, and himself. "I'm beginning to think that Yugi will do anything to ease the emotional pain. Even cause himself physical pain!"

"Joey's right we do have to do this! For Yugi's sake, even though I don't like this idea! It's extremely dangerous!" Tristan said.

"If Yugi find out we went behind his back." Mai said.

"Then, we'll be in a lotta trouble!" Serenity finished. "But I agree, we have to do it for Yugi's sake!" And so it was agreed. They would have to go back to Egypt.
