Chapter Seven: Back Into Your System


~FRIDAY: 6:00~

"Yami, where's the earrings you bought for my birthday?" Tea asked as she looked around the living room where Yami was lying on the couch half asleep. "Yami?"

"Hmm..." Yami mumbled as she sighed and continued her search alone.

"Here they are!" Tea yelled in anticipation. "Now that I've found that, I have to get going."

Yami's eyes shot open. He stood up and looked at her.

"Where are you going?" Yami said as he rubbed his eyes.

"I told you already, I'm getting ready at Mai's house." Tea said as she walked into their bedroom.

"Where does that leave me?" Yami asked tiredly.

"Tristan and Joey are coming over-" She stopped when she heard the doorbell. "That's them now."

Tea walked to the door and slowly opened it, revealing Tristan and Joey. Tea smiled and hugged each of them. They walked over to Yami and sat next to him. Tea walked over to Yami and kneeled down.

"Are you up to this, honey?" She asked as Yami smiled weakly.

"Don't worry about me, go have fun at Mai's house....I'll meet you at the reunion."

"Alright then." Tea said as Yami stood up.

"Wait..." He grabbed her hand gently and kissed it. "Be careful."

She looked into his eyes. The eyes that she knew were keeping secrets from her. She quickly nodded and walked grabbed her bags. She turned around and waved to them. "See you later." They nodded and waved back. She smiled and walked out the door.

~Mai's house: 6:45~

"You got to confront him and tell him that you don't like him keeping secrets from you." Mai said as she continued to brush Tea's hair into a fancy bun.

"What if he's trying to protect me?" She asked as she picked up a clip for Mai to put in her hair.

"From what?" Mai asked as she slid the final clip in her hair.

"Yeah," Serenity said looking up from her magazine. "A secret can hurt your relationship if you are not truthful to one another." Serenity said.

Tea sighed deeply. They just didn't get it. This wasn't your ordinary secret. Yami was holding something life-threatening and he didn't want her to know. The only thing she was sure of was that it had to do with P. Seto. She sighed again and decided to get off the subject.

"How do I look?" She asked as she stood up.

They both smiled and nodded their heads.

"You look beautiful," Mai said as she put on a pair of earrings.

{To keep you updated: Tea's wearing a long blue dress, a strap on one shoulder, the other shoulder is bare. The dress has a slit on the right hand side, which reveals her leg a little bit. Umm...oh she wears a matching blue necklace that shines beautifully in the light. Finally, her hair is done in a fancy bun with a couple of loose strands sticking out. She has light blue eyeshadow as well, if you are interested.}

"Yeah, what about me?" Serenity said shyly.

{To keep you updated: Serenity is wearing a long pink prom dress with little flowers embedded in the dress. She has pearl earrings and a matching pearl necklace. Her hair is done half up and half down.}

"Great." Tea said as Mai nodded.

"Yeah you look great." Mai said as Serenity blushed.

"So do you." Serenity said.

{To keep you updated: I didn't really know what to do with Mai, but she is wearing a short strapless black dress that shows the top of her breasts *sighs* as usual. Well.....um....her hair is done regularly.}

"Thanks." Mai said as she looked into the mirror. "I hope Joey likes it." Mai thought.

~MEANWHILE: 7:00~

"Oh Joey....you're so damn sexy...." Joey said softly in a feminine voice.

{To keep you updated: Joey's wearing a nice white suit with a red rose pinned to his jacket. His hair is not as messy as it usually is. ^_^}

"You don't have to tell me twice," Joey said in his regular voice.

Joey continued to talk to himself, not noticing that Tristan and Yami were in the doorway.

{To keep you updated: Tristan is wearing a light blue suit. ^_^' Yeah...that's about it.}

"Oh...and you're so strong...." Joey said in his feminine voice again.

"It gets better in the bedr-" He was cut off by Tristan who broke up his happy moment.

"You wanna get going Joseph?" He asked as Joey blushed and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Ohh yeah.." Joey said as Yami rolled his eyes.

{To keep you updated: Yummy...I mean Yami is wearing a black suit with a fancy white dress shirt under the jacket. Uh..the shirt is not occupied with a tie because I can't see Yami wearing a tie.}

"By the way Joey, you look so damn sexy," Tristan said as they all burst out laughing.

~REUNION: 8:05~

"Hello Mrs. Sharp," Tea said as she greeted her old English teacher as they walked into the gym.

The gym is decorated with red and white streamers (school colors) and it has little paper snowflakes hanging down from the ceiling. The walls are crammed with banners that read, "Welcome back, class of 2000!" As Tea marveled at the sights she didn't notice Bakura walk up from behind her.

"Hello Tea." He said with a tone of excitment.

"BAKURA!" Tea yelled as she hugged him tightly. "It's so good to see you again!"

"You too." He said as he looked down at Serenity by her side.

"Hello." He said as she smiled. "I'm Bakura, yours?"

"Serenity....Serenity Wheeler." Serenity stammered and blushed.

"Charmed." Bakura said as she smiled again.

Tea smiled to herself and left them alone to talk. As she covered most of the gym with Mai, she couldn't help but wonder where Yami was. That's when she saw him enter the gym with Joey and Tristan by her side. Mai backed away slowly and turned around. "Mai?"

"Yes?" Mai said as Tea looked at her.

"Come on, Tristan is waiting for you." Tea said as Mai sighed.

{If any of you recall, Tristan asked Mai to the reunion and she accepted...even though she really wanted to go with Joey and Joey really wanted to go with her.}

Tea rolled her eyes and pulled Mai over to them. Mai stopped and looked at Tea.

"I can't." Mai said as Tea looked at her.

"Why not?" Tea said as Mai looked away.

"I have to get out of here...." Mai said as Tea grabbed her arm.

"What's wrong with you?" Tea asked as Mai started to tear up.

"I can't face Joey," Mai said. "Not when I'm with Tristan."

"I don't-" Tea was cut off by Mai.

"You won't either," Mai said as Tea was taken back.

"I have to-" Mai stopped and looked at what was behind Tea.

Tea turned around and smiled. It was Yugi and his girlfriend, Misty.

"Hi guys!" Tea said as she hugged Yugi and Misty.

"Hey, where's Yami?" Yugi asked as Tea pointed toward the gym doors. "Thanks."

Tea sighed and turned around to see that Mai wasn't there. She searched around the room to see her sitting at a table alone. She had to go get Joey. Fortunately, she could see Joey making his way over.

"Joey...I need to talk to you."

"Sure Tea." Joey said as he walked up to her.

~MEANWHILE~

After Yami finished talking to Yugi and his girlfriend, he looked around for Tea. He promised himself that he wouldn't keep her out of his sight. He smiled when he spotted her. She was gorgeous. He was about to walk over when he felt a strange presence coming from the back of the room. His eyes widened when he felt the strong energy coming from the doors. He only knew this energy existed inside of P. Seto. As he walked toward the doors, they flung open revealing Seto Kaiba. Yami gasped.

"Hello everyone." Kaiba said as everyone stopped and looked at him, including Tea.

His footsteps echoed the room as he walked in. He was wearing a dark blue suit, as usual, with a white shirt underneath it. As the doors shut behind him, everyone started to congregate once again. Yami watched Seto Kaiba like a hawk in the sky. He wasn't going to let his dreams become a reality, especially with the forces of P. Seto inside of him. His eye contact with Seto was stopped when Tea touched his shoulder gently. He turned around and smiled weakly at her.

"Did you know that Kaiba was coming?" She asked as he shook his head.

"No, but I'm guessing he changed his mind." Yami said. "Don't worry about him."

Tea looked at him and said, "alright, come and sit down with us then."

Yami nodded and followed her toward the oval table, occupied by Joey, Mai, Tristan, Serenity, Yugi and Misty. He sat down next to Tea and looked at them. That's when the music started playing.

{Poop....I mean POP by N'Sync}

Serenity's eyes enlarged. "OMG, come on guys we have to dance....."

Mai and Tea looked at her as Serenity grabbed them and rushed toward the dance floor. After the dance finally was over Tea was about to sit down when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.

"Ye-" She looked into his blue eyes.

"May I have this dance?" Tea looked at him and then over to Yami, who was looking at her.

"I'm kinda tired." Tea lied as Seto Kaiba looked at her.

"Please Tea, I promise you won't regret it." He said as she swallowed hard.

"Umm..." She looked over to Yami again. "Alright."
