Someone Like You
Chapter 7
By Kaz
Téa felt as if she could not breathe. 'Oh no! Please no! Not after, I tired so hard to rebuild my life. No!'
Unable to say anything, she edged back into the flat, while Shiro continued to give an evil Bakura look to Ryou.
Ryou looked dumb folded as he went into a state of shock, 'What I am staring at a miniature me.'
"Um you guys?" called a confused Mai, "What's going on?"
"Yeah what's going on?" asked Serenity.
Téa's reply was to stare at Ryou, who stared back, seeing this; Joey sighed and walked into the flat, beckoning everyone else to follow.
Soon everyone was in the small flat when Joey walked up to Téa and said, "Well guys, I believe you all know Téa." Everyone who did not know about Téa, gasped in shock.
"T-Téa?" asked Mai, "That really you hon?"
Téa slowly coming back, just nodded at the question.
"Well where the hell have you been and who…?"
"Mommy?" asked a new voice, everyone turned to see Chijin coming out of her room, "Whas going on? Who are dese people?"
Téa, who still could not speak, just looked at the ground, while Joey picked Chijin up and said, "These are ya Uncle Joey's friends from Japan."
Chijin's eyes widened, smiling brightly, she asked, "Really?"
"Yup."
Looking around the room, she smiled at everyone, until she noticed her brother was staring at the door.
'What's dat silly boy staring at?' Unable to see, she left Joey's arms and walked to the door, only to scream at what she saw. "Mommy whose dat? Why he have hair like Shiro? Arrhh mommie." She cried, while bursting into tears and ran behind Téa.
That snapped Téa back into reality, bending down she picked Chijin up, "Honey please don't cry okay, come on you're a big girl."
Chijin stopped crying and sniffed, unable to look at Ryou, she just buried her head into Téa's shoulders. Turing away from the door, Téa smiled at everyone and said, "Hey guys."
"Téa?" asked Isis, "Please what's going on?"
"Yeah?" asked Malik, "What is going on? Because I would sure as hell like to know."
"W-well um….." taking a deep breath, she answered with, "This is my daughter and that's my son."
Even though this was fairly obvious, it still sent people into shock. Yugi taking control said, "You guys maybe we should leave okay, I think that well, I think we should go okay," Not quite understanding how to say that Ryou and Téa should talk.
Slowly everyone left, but not before giving Téa a smile and glance. Soon all who left in the room were, Téa, Ryou, the twins, and Malik. Joey seeing this turned and said, "Oi psycho lets go."
"And how do I know she won't lie her way out of this?"
"Why you slimy…"
"Malik please just go with Joey," sighed Ryou. Leaving the four of them in the doorway...
"So?"
"……."
"Well perhaps want to tell me why there is a miniature me at the door? I mean I may not be the brightest person, but I think I can tell what is going on. However, I really would like to hear it from you," asked Ryou, trying to keep his cool, but was slowly rising up with anger.
"I-I –I well I."
"YOU WHAT? TÉA FOR GOODNESS SAKE! ANSWER ME! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"
Soon he was met with a small push, as Shiro ran to his mother's defence.
"You no shout at my mother."
Ryou just stared again. Realising that the time had come and she needed to tell Ryou, she turned to Shiro and said, "Shiro its okay, why don't you take Chijin and both of you get ready for bed. I will tuck you in, in a minute okay?"
Unable to argue, or maybe because they were both scared, they both did as their mother bided.
Sighing, she turned to Ryou and said, "Please Ryou what ever you do, you need to keep your cool."
"KEEP MY COOL? How the hell do you expect me to do that? So I take it their mine?"
Téa nodded with a yes.
"Why the hell didn't you tell me? You didn't think I had a right to know?"
"I am SORRY okay, but I did what I thought was best."
"Best for whom?""WHAT? For everyone."
"Really? ' Cos I think you were only thinking about yourself."
"DON'T YOU DARE ACCUSE ME OF THAT RYOU BAKURA!"
"Well what do you EXPECT me to think? I have just found out that my one love, who disappeared with out a trace, had my children and didn't tell me, because of who know why."
"I tired but I couldn't…"
"Couldn't or wouldn't?"
"Ryou will you try and see this from my point of view…?"
"Well will you try and see if from mine? What did you think I would do? I would never have left you. Why Téa? Why?" as he asked this, tears began to fall from his eyes."Because you looked so happy…"
"What?""I tired to, but you looked so happy…. you said that your father was taking you on holiday and that everything was going right… I could not take that away from you… I couldn't take away your happiness..."
"NO TÉA! No! It was YOU! You were my happiness! Yeah, I was happy that my father and I were going somewhere and that things were looking better, but it was you, you made me happy!"
"Oh Ryou."
"And then," he carried on, running his hands through his hair, "Then you left and didn't tell me why or anything, so I thought that it as because of what happened between us, that I did something wrong and…"
"No Ryou! Whatever you think what we shared wasn't wrong.""Then why? I mean I love you! Sure I would have been shocked at first but…"
"It doesn't matter anymore Ryou...""What?""It's been 5 years Ryou go back… go back to Japan…."
"No!""Ryou you have to! I mean I can't just let you…"
"NO! I cannot go back and I will not… I want to… I want my children… I do not care how long it has been…. They're mine and I want to know them…"
"And THEN WHAT?" Cried Téa, throwing her hands into the air, "I can't mess their lives up, you can't just come back and then disappear again. I am not going back to Japan Ryou, I have made a new life for myself, I can't…""You didn't let me in once before Téa, don't make the same mistake they should know their father and I should know my children…""But I … I.""Please Téa.""Oh Ryou... I," unable to say the words she wanted, she backed into a wall and started to cry. Ryou walked to her, place his head on her shoulder and cried with her….
"Please Téa, just let me stay…."

::gags:: I think I have a permanent mark on my head from banging in forehead against the keyboard so much, its so cheesy! Just a quick note, I have not changed much, just a few sentences I wanted to keep it as close to the original as I could. Therefore, if you read my latest work it should be different.
