Author's note: here's with another chapter of Doors Open. I would have put
this up sooner, but I updated A Lily and James Story about a month ago and
after that, I've been busy with school. I'm kind of worried about Chapter
Five because I really got carried away with it. needs a LOT of editing
before that can get uploaded. Um.. okay, so please read and review!

Chapter Four- Why to Never Fight Over the TV Control
Friday came around quickly. Yugi had talked to Katrina on Tuesday and expressed his thoughts. Katrina took the news quite well, but still desired a sleepover with the rest of Yugi's friends and himself. When school ended on Friday, the five arrived at the Game Shop to see Ryou standing outside the store. Katrina had met Ryou the other day, so gave him a warm greeting along with everyone else. Ryou looked at her.
'Katrina, I saw your mother when I was on my way home a short time ago. She asked me to give you something you received in the post today."
He held out a small brown package. Katrina looked surprised, but gratefully took the package.
"Well, I'd best go now. I'll see you later!"
Ryou said as he turned to leave. "
Ryou, are you sure you don't want to stay around for a while?" Yugi asked.
Ryou shook his head.
"I really need to get home now; homework and everything." "
'Ey Ryou, maybe you didn't notice, but we have no homework this weekend," Joey pointed out.
Ryou shrugged.
"I have homework, you don't; simple as that,"
Then he walked away. Without looking back, the five entered the Game Shop and then into Yugi's house. The sound of dishes indicated Yugi's mom was at home. Grandpa was peacefully lying down on the big couch for a light nap.
"'Ey, Gramps, Mrs. Moto, we're here!" Joey announced rather loudly.
Grandpa woke up with a start and ended up falling off the couch.
"Grandpa!" Yugi cried out, going over to help him up.
Mrs. Moto stuck her head out the kitchen door.
'Hello everyone," she said smiling before turning to her father.
"I told you it would be better to go sleep in your room; now look what you've done to yourself," she scolded as Yugi and Tristan helped Grandpa ack up onto his feet.
An hour later, grandpa went back to the Game Shop, Mrs. Moto had begun to start making dinner and the group had settled down in the living room. Yugi, Tristan and Joey decided to watch something on TV and Katrina and Tea were off in a corner of the room talking in low voices so the boys wouldn't be able to hear them.
"So, tell me about how it was before your family moved here," Tea said excitedly.
'Is there any aspect that you really want to know about?"
Tea knew exactly what.
'Have you ever had a boyfriend or some guy that was really close to you?"
Katrina paused for a moment, thinking.
'Boyfriend. no. I'm not allowed to. Very few guys I have been close to."
Before Tea could comment, Katrina spoke again.
" I went to an all-girls school before coming here. I did have some co-ed activities after school and on the weekends, but I was hardly, rarely close with any of them, even though I wanted to."
"Then you can start anew; you only started school here on Monday and already, Yugi's taken a strong liking to you," Tea said, looking at Yugi who was play-fighting with Joey for the remote control. Tea waited to hear what Katrina had to say about Yugi. Softly, Katrina said,
" I really like him, and I scold myself for the thoughts that have been going through my mind this past week about him. I work so hard to control myself when we're around each other. It'd feel so weird, I think, starting something with him because I've never done it with anyone before. And I don't want anything to result in unhappiness."
"It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all," Tea said.
"I know," Katrina said, reaching for the package Ryou gave her a while ago.
"I'm just not much of a risk taker, it's a big part of my personality."
Tea noticed Katrina began opening the package.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Some friends promised sending me a DVD; this is probably it." she said, tearing off the last of the paper."
It turned out to be the DVD alright, in a container covered by a group picture. Tea took a close look and was overwhelmed by the amount of friends Katrina left behind. Katrina looked at the cover lovingly, and Tea realized how homesick she must be.
"How about we kick the guys off the couch and watch the DVD? I don't think it'd make much of a difference if we didn't try," Tea said amusedly.
Katrina looked up to see now all three guys fighting over the control. She smirked.
"Yeah, I don't think they'd mind."
Both girls got up. Katrina handed the DVD to Tea who then set it all up. Moments later, they too also somehow got into the boys' fight over the TV control, Tea mostly. Katrina joined in only when she tried to grab the control and put it away. Kneeling down on the floor, she caught a glimpse of the control and yanked it out of the tangle. However, Yugi had been holding it and with Katrina's forceful tug, fell not only on the floor, but also Katrina, who yelled in pain. Joey, Tristan and Tea had seen that all and were at a loss for words for a while. Luckily, Mrs. Moto hadn't seen or heard what happened, or they would have gotten an earful. Katrina's body tensed, Yugi's elbow digging into her left arm. She was held down by Yugi's weight and couldn't move unless Yugi did. However, Yugi didn't budge off her. Yugi liked what he saw and felt. Katrina was not happy with the fact he was still on top of her, and it was clear in her facial expression.
"Yugi, please, get off me," Katrina said softly, not wanting to catch Mrs. Moto's attention.
The Millennium Puzzle's point was digging into her right arm, Yugi's elbow on her left arm, him on top of her. it had might have well been that Katrina was in a torture chamber. Before Yugi could say anything back to her, Tristan took charge by lifting up Yugi's small figure off Katrina and plopped him back on the couch. Katrina groaned, sitting up to rub her sore spots.
"Thanks Tristan," she said before putting the DVD to play. Tea moved on the couch with the boys, but Katrina stubbornly didn't follow and stayed where she was throughout the whole movie.
Yay! So there's chapter four for you. As I said, it'll take a while to edit chapter five, but I'll try to finish that soon and I'll get this up. also, I'm afraid of making this a long story, so I'm expecting to end this within a couple more chapters. I just don't know how to end it. actually, maybe I do. ok. read and review please!
