A/N-hi! I'm SO sorry I haven't updated in a long time……. Really busy, blah blah blah… This chapter was very short 654  words. U_U Anywho, I've worked hard on getting it to flow better. (even though I don't think anyone's suggested it) Ok, Anywho, saying thanks to:

SerafinaMoon-thanks!  So you have a class where you learn how to type? We had something like that in 5th grade. It was really boring though…..

Daisycutters-so you like to read romance stories? I don't like them that much… they're kinda boring…… but whatever floats your boat! ^_^

Rin562-Sorry it took SOOOOO long to review… I guess it was mostly lazyness, but I had to write a stupid summery of chapter two, etc….. Oh, and Inuyasha's SO cute!  Did I say that already? O_o;;;

Chapter 7

"Well, at least when you're a spirit, you don't have homework!" Yugi said, trying to cheer up Tea.

"B-B-B-but, Yami was gonna let Shadi DIE!" Tea sobbed. Her face was lying deep into her pillow, so all of her crying was kind of muffled. And it didn't help that she was shaking so uncontrollably that the bed was quaking. That also was making it very hard for Yugi to sit on her bed.

"I wasn't going to let him die, Tea, how many times do I have to say it?" Yami said. He had pulled in his own chair from his room so he could ignore the fluffiness, but the effort was wasted. As soon as he came in, Yami had to stand up, lean close to Tea, and shout into her ear that he was NOT going to kill Shadi.

"Are you sure?" Tea asked. The constant repetitiveness of Yami was starting to convince her. "But then-what were you doing?"

"I had to stop him-Shadi was going to hurt Yugi!" Yami thundered unexpectedly.

"No he wasn't-Wait-Yes…. He is going to test Yugi, later….." Tea said softly, remembering.

"What? What does he do?" Yugi asked.

"I can't say, I don't want to change the past." Tea said in a firm voice, with her face still red from the crying.

"But it's our future, Tea!" Yugi protested.

Tea looked into Yugi's eyes. The cuteness was almost too cute to bear! But she must stand firm. "I-I I can't, Yugi. In this, I almost die and I can't tell you. I'm sorry."

"Fine." Yugi stormed out and slammed the door of his room.

"He's never acted this fiery before, I wonder why….." Tea remarked, then she turned and looked at Yami, as if to ask if he had a solution.

"He wants to protect you," Yami said.

"Really? Oh….." Tea stood up. "I'm going to go talk to him. I must not let our friendship die!" Yami stood up too. "Don't come with me, Yami, I need to do this alone."

"I know, Tea. I was going to go take over Yugi. It's time for him to get ready for school."

*Later………*

"Yugi?" Tea cautiously peered into Yugi's childish room.

"What? Do you have more news of death and destruction?" Yugi said sarcasticly. But he sat up on his bed, and looked in Tea's direction.

"No, I'm sorry I can't tell you." A sudden thought dawned on her. "Wait-if I told you then it would mess up the shadow game and it could change-I don't wanna mess with time."

"You kinda already have." Yugi pointed out.

"Good point. But I don't want to screw it up anymore."

"Please? I don't you to get hurt!" Yugi looked determinedly into Tea's eyes.

"No… I'm sorry, Yugi." Tea said.

Yugi thought for a moment, and Tea sat next to him on his bed.

"I guess…… I guess you're right." He said after awhile. "I wonder what Yami's doing?"

"That's a good question, let's go see!" She ran out to go see what Yami was doing.

"SHADI?!?" Of course, another shadow game.

It looked like it was the end of the game. Joey and Yami were standing on some squares In the middle of a dark pit. Joey was throwing the millennium puzzle, and after it finished spinning, Yami took a couple of steps to the edge of the squares. Then Joey was handing Yami the puzzle, gesturing for Yami to spin it, but Yami refused. Then Joey started insulting Yami.

"No, Joey, you're my friend! Don't make fun of me!" Yugi said. But Yugi wasn't the only one throwing a fit. Shadi was throwing one too. And he was foolish enough to make fun of friendship.

Tea appeared (in the spirit form thingy) and started yelling at Shadi to have a heart, and to believe in friendship, etc. Suddenly the real Joey appeared form the window and shouted,

"What the h*** is going on?!?!?"

~End of Chapter 7~

the end WAS supposed to be confusing, and it'll get explained later. After this, I swear I'll get to the episodes shown in America…… even though these are the best part. ^_^

PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
