Love Across the Ages
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-gi-oh
~~
Gabby was now on a plane headed for Domino City, Japan. She sat there looking out the window as she thought about all the friends and memories that she shared in Vancouver. She let out a long sigh and put on a pair of headphones and started listening to her Discman. She thought back to the conversation her dad and her had.
*Flashback
"DAD!!!! I don't wanna leave!! Do you know how long it took make friends here?!?!?" she shouted.
"Gabby don't use that tone of voice with me young lady. I know you don't want to leave Vancouver, but I have to go and I can't leave you here by yourself. I promised your mother that I would take care of you no matter what. Now get packing, I'm sure there will lots of great people for you to be friends with in Japan."
*End flashback
/Why me? Am I always destined to be a loner?/ she missed her friends already, especially Sam. They promised to write each other emails or chat everyday, but still, Gabby felt lonely.
Upon arriving to their new home, Gabby took her bags with her to examine her new room. She looked around to find a decent sized room, with a good view of the outside. The movers were outside moving in the furniture of the living room. Suddenly the rope on the box of Gabby's books snapped. It needed to be repaired on account it had to be put upstairs and couldn't stand long exposure to sunlight (A/N:They're very old).
Gabby decided to go next door and ask for some rope or tape. A young girl around Gabby's age opened the door. She had shoulder length brown hair and cerulean blue eyes.
"Hi can I help you?" she asked
"I'm your new neighbour and the rope on my box of books just snapped and I was wondering if you had any rope or tape that I could borrow?" Gabby asked nicely. "Oh by the way my name is Gabby Fontaine, it's a pleasure to meet you."
The girl smiled, "I'm Tea Gardener. I had no idea that we had new neighbours. Why don't you come in while I find you some tape?" Gabby nodded and walked into Tea's quaint little home. Tea started a conversation with her while she went to look for tape.
"So how old are you?" Tea asked.
"I'm 16. You?"
"Same. So where you from?"
"Was born in Canada, moved to the States, France, Argentina, back to Canada."
"Wow! You've been around. So you'll be joining me in Domino High right?" she asked.
"Trust me, when you travel all the time it's hard to keep friends for long. Yeah I'm going to Domino High. What's it like there?"
"Well it's good school. I have a bunch of good friends like Yugi Motou, Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor and Ryou Bakura. Oh and here's the tape you wanted."
/Bakura? Is it just coincidence or is it/ she thought. Gabby thanked Tea and they decided they would chat again soon.
There was still time before school started. So Gabby decided to look around with Tea's help. She walked around the mall, and noticed a poster. "Big Duel Monsters Exhebition this weekend. All fans and duelists welcome." She read. "I wonder what that's all about?" she questioned.
"Are you going? My friends are probably going to go. Why don't you come with us? We have the world's best player. We could even probably get Yugi to teach you. He's the best!"
Gabby nodded and so they decided to meet at the entrance of the exhibition.
*A few days later, at the exhibition.
Tea and her friends (The hikari will be known as Ryou and Yami B will be Bakura, to avoid confusion) were at the entrance waiting.
"So I hear you have a new friend that lives a few doors down from you Tea who's coming today." Tristan enquired.
"Yeah, she's really great. She should be here anytime soon. Why don't you guys go in and save us a seat?" The guys agreed and went inside. Not long, Tea saw Gabby running towards her
"Sorry I'm late!" she said catching her breath. "Bus..Traffic jam.." she said as she caught her breath.
"It's ok. C'mon the guys are inside waiting for us. I'll have Yugi show you some dueling tips too." Tea said as she dragged Gabby into the Exhibition.
The place was a lot larger then they thought. It was almost impossible to see where the guys had gone to get places. They looked all over. Tea finally decided to ask if anyone had seen a description of the guys. Gabby heard some of it. "One's has 3 colored hair, the other..blonde..white hair.." Gabby's suspicion grew, but she decided that it was impossible and pushed the worries to the back of her mind.
"They were last seen by the food section. Figures, they're with Joey, where else would they be?" Tea snorted.
The two girls made their way to the food section. Indeed there were 3 of the 4 guys. Gabby almost tripped at the sight of one of them. There, the shorter of the 3, bore the same looks of the man she had sought to forget. Gabby managed to convince herself that it was all a coincidence and that it was not real. Little did she notice but she was hyperventilatting. Tea however noticed.
"Are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost." Tea sounded worried.
Gabby took one last breath and stopped her intense breathing. "I'm fine." She said with a smile.
Tea still looked a bit worried but shrugged it off. She ran up to the guys and did the introductions. //Gabby?// came the voice of Yami from inside of Yugi's mind. //Why is that name so familiar?//
*~in a dark alley behind the exhibit.
"Look kid! Just give me your money and you can get out of here." Said the thug. Ryou backed into the fencing behind him. Suddenly the Millenium Ring began to shine under his shirt. //That feeling. She's here somewhere. I feel it. Gabby!// he said as he took over Ryou's body.
"You're a freak kid, now stop playing with your lil glow stick and hand over the cash." Bakura ignored him and headed to where he felt the presence grow stronger. "You ain't going anywhere till you give me what I want. Now give it to me!" Bakura's patience was at a minimum (A/N: That is if he has any at all to begin with) He turned to glare at the thug. "As you wish," he said with a creepy evil smile. He concentrated on the millenimum ring and the thug started to yell in pain and then his souless body fell to the ground with a thud. "Sweet dreams" he smirked and he ran back into the exhibition, following the feeling of the presence he was seeking.
~Back at the Exhibition
\\Do you know her Yami?\\ Yugi asked in his mind while explaining to Gabby some of the newer moves and strategies. //I believe so Yugi, I think she was someone I loved deeply// and with that Yami and Yugi traded places.
"Hello Gabby." Gabby looked up from the strategy that Yugi had just been explaining to her before. Her brown eyes met with Yami's purple ones. Gabby froze, she didn't know how long she stood like that, and it was like her legs would give out at any moment. She was about to collapse when Yami caught her.
Gabby felt the firm grip of Yami's arms as he supported her weight. She started to hyperventilate a little again as she looked into his eyes not believing what her mind was registering. "Yami? Is that really you?"
"Get your hands off her Baka Pharaoh!" They both turned to the shouter. Bakura looked livid. Yami was too busy to retort to Bakura's insult.
"Bakura?" Tears started to form in her eyes. She didn't resist and she let them flow freely. Yami freaked as he held the crying form of Gabby and Bakura looked ready to kill. He strode over there with murder in his eyes.
"What did you do Pharaoh? I swear if you hurt her, I'm gonna..." He stopped mid threat when he felt a warm figure hug him. It was Gabby, she had buried herself in his shirt. She looked up at him, except she was smiling. She laughed and said, "No silly Baku, these are tears of happiness. I can't believe it's you." Bakura was confused, /Sigh, women. They cry when they're sad AND when they're happy. Who can understand them?/ he thought.
Yami felt a tinge of jealousy when Gabby had hugged Bakura only. But then he couldn't help but smile when he saw how happy Gabby was. She seemed to be full of happiness. Then Gabby hugged Yami, "Don't think I've forgotten you." She whispered.
The group went to sit at the coffee shop next door before going back in.
"So where do you know each other from?" Tea asked as she sipped her drink.
"We met in Ancient Egypt 5000 years ago."
Everyone besides Bakura, Gabby and Yami spit out their drink. "WHAT?!?!?"
"Wouldn't that make you...like them?" Tea hinted at the two spirits.
"Well it all started when I went on this trip to Egypt with my father...." and Gabby explained the rest.
"Wow that's some experience Gabby." Tristan said.
"Yes it's very hard to adapt to a new culture,"
"No he means having to live with Bakura. However did you survive?" Joey joked. "Oww!"
Bakura had just kicked Joey under the table and was sending him death glares right now. "You should talk Wheeler, I heard that your room is the same after a dog's had it's way in there. Then again, that's what you are aren't you Joey?" He smirked.
Joey was ready to pound Bakura, but the others held him back. They decided to go back to the exhibit before it was completely packed.
At the end of the day, the exhibit ended with Yami going home with a trophy for winning the competition and Bakura grumbling while his Ryou kept begging Bakura to give him back his body with no luck whatsoever. The only reply from Bakura, was another mental death threat.
The group decided to go to the arcade, but Gabby decided she would rather go home. Both Bakura and Yami offered at the same time to walk her home. The two glared at each other. Everyone backed away knowing that WW3 was about to start between the two again.
"I asked her first Baka thief!"
"Prove it kisama* Pharaoh!"
Gabby felt a headache starting to grow. She could only imagine what it would be like going to school with these two. She simply shook her head and smiled. /Well, hopefully it will be their Hikaris at school. / She thought.
Well that's all for now. Next chapter, Going to school!!!! I can only imagine what will happen.... Anyways review!! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go keep Bakura away from the chemistry lab.
