Someone Like You

Chapter 10

By Kaz

Joey sighed as he held the snivelling girl in his arms. Rubbing her back, he comforted her. Seeing that she was calming down, he smiled and said, "Ya feelin' better now?"

Nodding, she pulled back and smiled at him, "Yes I am Joey thank you..."

"Nah Téa, ya don't need to thank me, I mean."

"No Joey I do! I mean you have been such a good friend to me, you were there when I need you and in a way you gave me back my life, so thank you."

As she said that. she leaned forward and gave Joey a short sweet kiss.

"Are we interrupting something?" they heard someone ask.

Jumping back and blushing, they turned to see Yugi and Serenity at the door.

"Um no, no you weren't Serenity what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to see how the food was coming along," they looked at the table, which held the food unmade.

"Um," Téa mumbled and blushed, "Well I kind of um..."

Serenity giggled and said, "Joey why don't you and Yugi go back and I will help Téa."

Joey nodded and walked out with Yugi following, eyes slightly narrowing.

Joey and Yugi walked to the lounge, when Yugi grabbed Joey's arm and shouted, "Me and Joey are just going to the shops okay?"

Ryou and Malik nodded and watched them leave the building.

"Err Yugi, listen yeah, me and Téa are friends okay, and I mean she like a sister."

Sighing, Yugi turned to Joey and said, "I love her."

"Huh well I mean I know ya used ta, but Yugi tis been 5 years, ya got ta get over it."

"I can't."

Seeing that Yugi was nearly breaking down, he sighed and led them to a small café. Ordering two coffees, he sat Yugi down and said, "Listen Yugi I know ya like Téa, but man ya got ta let go."

"I know... I know she doesn't love me, well not in that way, but maybe if I give her time..."

"Yugi ya gave her 5 years and even then she still loves Ryou."

Yugi sighed, as he felt a pain in his heart, "But..."

"Nah listen to me Yugi, Téa's changed, maybe not necessarily for the better, but she has... she's scared Yugi, she's alone and she has a great responsibility on her hands, I mean most people don't have a kid at her age, let alone two but still..."

"If she did what I asked then she wouldn't be alone. I mean I would take care of her..."

"But she still wouldn't love ya... sure she would be happy Yugi, but in ya heart ya know its wrong and ya know that she would still be running away..."

"I just want her to happy."

"Then just be there for her. Right now, Téa needs her friends. She was always there for us and now the roles are reversed... besides her and Ryou aren't getting back together, well at least Téa says."

"Huh? But."

"Yugi, she is so in love with dat guy dat, she thinks that she is gunna hurt him even more if dey get back together."

"Well maybe if that's what she wants, we have to go along with it."

"Yeah I know but Yugi..."

"Yeah Joey...."

"Its time for ya ta let go... ya got to move on... all of us did, even Téa."

Yugi didn't reply, he just finished his coffee and walked out, Joey sighed and followed him.

Serenity glanced at Téa as she washed the lettuce.

"Hey Téa?"

"Yeah Serenity?"

"I know we haven't been the best of friends but during battle city I got to know you and I considered you a friend, so tell me you and Ryou, how I mean when?"

Téa looked at Serenity and giggled, "Well its not something I expected to happen, I mean I liked him from the start when I met him, but my friend Miho seemed interested in him so I backed off you know, but then after what I remember in battle city I dunno I kind of fell for him..."

"Him? Or Bakura? Or him and Bakura...?"

Looking at Serenity, she closed the kitchen door and admitted, "I don't really know."

"Really?"

"I mean I love Ryou, he's such a gentleman, and then there's his smile... but... I don't know if I really felt something for Bakura, I think I was just really curious about him. I mean his whole mysterious personality and the fact that he was in Ryou body, I don't know, but when I was around him I felt really weird in my stomach, I guess I wanted to know more about him to understand him, but I have to admit, I hated him for harming Ryou."

"I know what you mean."

"But to re answer your question, I know I am in love with Ryou and well I guess I will never know about Bakura..."

"Yeah I guess not."

"Wow, this feels so good..."

"Huh?"

"Just to talk, I have missed that so much. There are just something's that you take for granted."

"Yeah."

"So anyway missy, you and SETO KAIBA huh? When did that happen? I mean how did Joey not blow a fuse?"

"He nearly did," said another voice looking up, both girls saw Isis and Mai at the door.

"This is turning into a pyjama party."

Suddenly the girls looked at each other.

"Oh!" screamed Mai "Lets have one."

The other girls blinked, "Um Mai aren't we a little too old?"

"Oh please! What I mean is, why not let the boys look after the kids for a night and us girls can just chill. I mean really Isis hon just watching you look after Ashitara makes me stressed."

"Well I dunno Téa, Isis what ya think?" asked Serenity.

Both girls looked dumb folded.

"Um, you want Shadi and the boys to look after three kids?"

"Yeah," chirped Mai.

"But Mai, I mean Shiro and Chijin don't know you guys that well and I mean it's a school night so..."

"Oh please you can trust the guys, plus if you tell them where the school is, Seto will drop them off in his limo."

"Well the thing is...... you want Mister I-don't-care-about-anyone-but-my-self, Mister if-there-is-food-I-will-forget-my-name and Mister I-am-a-psycho to look after three very hyper active kids." stated Isis.

"Um, yes."

Téa sighed, "Well if the boys are okay with it, then sure."

Sweat dropping, the boys just stared at the girls, "So let me get this straight, you expect me to waste my time looking after three brats?" said Seto.

Giving Seto a death glare, Isis answered with "Yes."

"But."

"Oh don't worry about it Kaiba hon," said Mai, "Think of it as practise before you and Serenity have kids," she finished, winking.

Seto blushed, while Serenity lightly hit Mai's arm and Joey growled.

"Well," asked Téa looking at Ryou, "If you don't want to..."

"No! no its okay, I would love to. Just tell me where the school is and I am sure I won't have any trouble with them."

Giving Ryou, a sure you won't look, she walked into the twins room and told them the news.

"So you guys want to go?"

"OH YAY!" screamed Chijin, running out to hug her father. "Oh daddy, we will have so much fun, you can take me shopping and buy me everything, then buy me ice cream and take me to the cinema's and....."

Sweat dropping, Ryou thought, 'What have I got myself into?'
