Someone Like You

Chapter 2b

By Kaz

--Flashback--

Téa cursed as her bag fell down of her shoulders once again. Getting fed up, she shoved her bags onto the ground, and huffed, when she looked up and saw a strange sight. 'Is that Ryou?' she thought and blushed at how cute he looked. Picking up her things, she walked over to him and sat down next to him.

"Whatcha thinking about?" she asked him, making him jump slightly.

"Oh its nothing," he answered.

"Well it has to be something."

"I was just thinking about everything that's happened to us, the whole Battle City, how Yami, Malik's Yami have left and how… Bakura's gone."

"You miss him?"

"What?"

"You do. Even though he was how he was, he was still apart of you for so long it must feel as if you are only half of you or something. Er hang on, that sounds stupid, what I meant was."

"No Téa you don't sound stupid. You're even right in a way." Ryou smiled as he said this, making Téa blush even more.

"Er well, I better go, mum will be wondering where I am," she said, while getting up trying to hide her blush.

"Wait! I will walk you back," and saying that, they both walked in a comfortable silence back to Téa's house.

When they reached her house, Téa turned to Ryou and pushed her hair behind her ears, while saying, "Well thanks for walking me back." 'Why I am so nervous? it's not like this is a date or anything.'

"Oh no, it's okay. You even managed to cheer me up."

"I did? How exactly? I didn't do anything."

"Yes you did, you were there, and that means a lot to me."

"Oh! Well, um, your welcome. I- I better go in, if you ever need to talk Ryou, you know you just have to ask." 'Gah,' she thought, 'I have to stop blushing.'

Saying that she turned around, when a hand grabbed her wrist, and turned her back.

"Ryou?"

"I am sorry Téa, but I just have to do this."

"Do whaa…. Oh."

Before she could say anything, she felt Ryou close the gap and place the softest kiss on her lips. She stiffened somewhat, before relaxing completely and let his tongue explore the warm caverns of her mouth. Both of them moaned slightly and Ryou placed his hands on her back, while she entangled her hands in his hair. Sighing, they both drew back, blushing a heavily, before Ryou said, "I am so sorry Téa. I shouldn't have done that, p- please don't be offended."

"I'm not Ryou. I am kind of glad you did."

"You are?"

"Yeah, I am. Say y-you wanna er maybe um go out on a d-date sometime?" she asked, while stumbling on some of the words.

"S-sure, but what about Yugi and not to mention the others?"

"Yugi?"

"Well don't you… I mean, I am sure he likes you."

"On no Ryou. I love Yugi and he loves me, but only as a friend. He's my best friend, nothing more. But, if you feel like that, then I guess we could keep it quite for now, although you really don't have to worry."

"Okay, well tomorrow you want to meet at say 7?"

"Sure."

--End--

"Well after that we kind of saw more and more of each other."

"So, why didn't you tell us?"

"I don't know Joey. I got scared, that I might hurt someone. You know you would have gotten angry with me 'cos he hangs around with Malik. Then well, then I got pregnant."

"Oh yeah, speakin' of which, when did you and Ryou get down and dirrty wit it?"

"JOEY!"

"Whaaa? I kinda find it hard to believe Ryou even knew how to kiss a gal, let alone you know?"

" JOEY!" Téa swatted him across the head and glared at him before speaking again, "It was a couple of weeks before the one month reunion of Battle City."

"Well?"

" Well what? I am not going to tell you what happened, use your imagination."

"Er well! Ahh mental image!"

"JOEY!"

"Sorry, sorry, what I meant is, why yer didn't tell Ryou, let alone us?"

"Well when I found out that I may be pregnant, I was so scared that I kind of went into denial, but then I decided that I needed to tell Ryou soo...

--Flash Back--

Téa pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and took a deep breath, before ringing the bell of her boyfriend's house. She waited a bit before deciding no one was in and turned to leave, when a very happy Ryou opened the door.

"Téa," he cried.

"Er Ryou hi! You look happy today. What's going on?"

"Well my dad is back and he's decided to take me to Egypt on one of his digs for the holiday."

"Oh I see, Ryou I need to...."

"I am so happy, I finally get some time with my dad and well it's just so great, finally things are going right in my life."

Téa just looked into Ryou's eyes and saw so much happiness in them, that she lost all her confidence. She couldn't tell him this now… not when he was so happy…

"So you need to what?"

"Huh?"

"You were saying something."

"Oh! I- I- I just wanted to say that I'm... well that I am so happy for you."

"Thank you."

--End--

"And so I didn't tell him."

"Why though? Because Ryou's not the type to leave you."

"I know Joey, but we were 15, he had just started to get his life back on track and then there comes me saying, I'm pregnant, taking all the fun out of his life again."

"Yeah; but Téa."

"Joey we were 15! What's to say in 10, or even 2 years we still felt the same. I was not going to ruin his life Joey, so I left."

"Téa listen, ya can still tell im."

"NOO Joey! I made my choice to have my children and bring them up by myself. Me and no one else."

"Yeah but it weren't jus yer choice was it? Wat bot him?"

"I know Joey, but look they are now nearly 4, its better to forget about everything and just leave."

"Whaa I can't."

However, before anything else was said, a ringing sound was heard, Joey realising it was his phone looked at the caller id, before saying, "Sup?"

"Joey? It's me, Seto."

"Kaiba?"

Téa's eyes widened and started at Joey, while listening to the conversation he had with the CEO.

"Huh? A-huh, what HERE? Oh okayyyy, bye."

Joey looked at Téa and said, "That was Kaiba, da whole gang is cumin here to see me."
