Someone Like You

Chapter 6

By Kaz

Téa and Yugi laughed at Joey, he was being buried in the sand pit courtesy of Chijin, and Shiro was on the swing, being pushed by Tristan.

"Téa?"

"Yeah Yugi?"

"Why didn't you... why didn't you tell me? I mean us. Didn't you trust us? I mean you kept a lot from me, the dating Ryou, the twins, why?"

Knowing this question was going to be asked, Téa sighed and said, "I know! I have I kept so many lies from you all. You see the thing is, at first I didn't tell you about me and Ryou was because of him being Bakura's former host and then what with him hanging around with Malik, I thought you may disapprove and I couldn't stand to hurt you..."

"So you think going behind my back didn't?"

"I know Yugi, I know it did, but I- I don't know, I have made so many mistakes. I didn't think! I guess I was just a coward!"

"Téa why? Sigh, Why Ryou? I mean why, why not me?"

"Huh? What do you mean Yugi?"

"You see the thing is Téa, I know we said that we are always best friends, nothing more, but-but the thing is, I really like you Téa, no, I love you Téa and..."

"Yugi please don't do this."

"... if you won't tell Ryou, then maybe there's a chance for us. I mean, I-I would do anything for you. I'd love to be Shiro and Chijin father; I just want you to be happy."

"Yugi! No! I do not know what to say! I mean the thing is I still love Ry..."

"No Téa, just say you'll think about it."

"Yugi I can't do that to you! I can't make you sacrifice your life because of me, Shiro and Chijin are the most important people in my life, and they will always be number 1..."

"If being with you means second best, then I am prepared to be that."

"Oh Yugi, please no..."

"Please! like I said, think about it, okay...?"

Knowing that Yugi was not prepared to listen to her, she sighed and called out to the twins telling them its time to go.

"But mama."

"No now."

Sighing, they reluctantly left their uncles and walked home.

--X--

Ryou was puzzled, as soon as he had come back from sight seeing with the others, Seto and Malik had grabbed him and dragged him into his room, saying that there was something, which he needed to know. This would have been fine, if they would just let him know what it was.

"So guys what's this about? I mean we have been sat here for ten minuets and all you two have been doing is fidgeting, what wrong...?"

"Well Ryou," sigh, "the thing is..." began Seto.

"Oh fuck this, let's just take him there..." shouted Malik, while grabbing Ryou and dragged him out of the room.

Ryou not liking being dragged, pushed Malik of him as they exited the hotel, and asked "What the? What is going on? Where are you taking me?"

"Trust me Ryou; it's for your own good." Seto said and then he heard.

"Seto? Malik? Ryou? Where you going?"

Looking back, he saw Isis and co. "Where you going?"

"We have to show something to Ryou."

"And dat would be?" asked a familiar voice. Turning his head the other way, Malik saw Yugi, Joey, and Tristan.

"I think you know where Wheeler," replied Malik, giving them all an evil look.

Realising what this was about, Joey growled and said, "T h i s i s n o n e o f y o u r b u s i n e s s got it! STAY OUT!"

"I don' think so you stupid puppy, he has a right to know."

"Fuck you, ya psycho," And landed a punch right on Malik's face.

"Screw you, you stupid puppy," cried Malik hitting him back. Seeing a fight was breaking out, Seto grabbed Malik and Tristan grabbed Joey.

"What the hell is going on?" cried Isis, shocked but then not really shocked, at her brother's behaviour.

"Follow us," mumbled Seto and with that walked towards Téa house, while every one else followed.

'Crap!' was the word going through Yugi, Joey, and Tristan mind.

Tristan sighed as they reached the apartment complex where Téa stayed, trying one last time he said, "Listen guys, please think about this, you're about to ruin some ones life."

"Well perhaps she should have been honest from the start." Snorted Malik.

"She who? What's going on you guys?" cried a desperate Ryou; he was being to feel scared, 'Why have I been brought here?'

"You'll see Ryou, you'll see," and with that they all entered the building, walking up to the sixth floor.

Joey shook with anger and a bit of fear as they all stood outside Téa's door, 'Ah shit man.'

Realising that it may be best if he enters first, he started to walk up, when Malik pushed him out the way and knocked on the door, then pushed Ryou in front.....

Téa sighed as she washed the dishes; her mind was full of the conversation with Yugi, 'How? How after all the lies, after all the hurt, can he say he loves me? I really don't understand..."

She was so in to her thoughts, that she did not hear the knock on the door. Shiro seeing that his mother was busy got up and slowly walked to the door...

Thinking that no one was in, he turned to Malik, when the sound of the door opening was heard, Ryou turned around started to say hello, when his voice got stuck in his throat.

'What the?'

He heard a, "Shiro honey, who's at the door?" When Shiro did not reply, the owner of the voice came into sight.

'What?'

'Oh No!'

"R-Ryou?"

Blinking, he replied, "Téa?"
