Chapter three: Unsure about the truth
The next day Tea went around the palace a little uneasy.
'I hope no one figures out that I'm not the real Anzu. I just don't know what would happen if everyone in the palace found out that Anzu wasn't really here. And that I was playing her role until I get home. I just don't want to get into any danger while I'm here,' Tea said to herself.
Suddenly Tea heard someone call her cover-up name.
"Anzu! Anzu!" Tea heard Yugi call out to her from the end of the hallway.
Tea turned around and yelled back, "Hey Yugi! It's great to see you!"
"It's great to see you, Anzu. Are you feeling better? I hope Jou didn't hurt you that much yesterday," Yugi said little worried.
"No, I'm all right. Jou just didn't see where he was going and it caused me to get hurt, but I'm fine now. It just took a good night's rest. That's all."
Yugi smiled happily.
"I'm glad Anzu! The palace isn't as lively without you in it."
"I guess I'll take that as a compliment, Yugi. Thank you."
"It's no problem Anzu. You're a great friend to have. I just don't know what we would do without you here with us."
Tea smiled and closed her eyes.
'It's good to know that Anzu has great friends here... just as I do... back home...' Tea thought to herself again, missing Domino and her friends very much.
"Uhhh... Anzu? Are you okay?" Yugi asked a few seconds later.
Tea opened her eyes and said, "Uhhh... Yes! I'm perfectly fine. I was just thinking how wonderful it was to have all of you as my-," Tea was cut off from a serious voice that she heard right behind her.
"Anzu, can we talk?" Yami said from right behind her.
Yami was so close to her that she felt him breathing on her neck and back.
His breaths were making a shiver go right down her spine.
Tea slowly turned around to the young pharaoh.
"What was that, Yami?" Tea asked.
"Can we talk... in private...? I think it's very important," Yami told her.
Tea looked deep into Yami's violet eyes.
The eyes that Yami, from her time, had and they were so mysterious to her.
She loved his eyes, but at the same... they seem so serious... and so dangerous.
But in some weird way... she liked it.
She just had never such eyes as his.
"Sure Yami... we can talk. If it-," Tea was once again cut off from yet another voice.
"Um Yami, Anzu won't be able to talk with you right now," Mai said to him as she walked into the room.
"Why not?" Yami and Tea asked.
Mai smiled and Shizuka came out as well.
"Because we need to do some girl talk. Anzu, Shizuka, and I never get to do our little get togethers anymore so we thought this would be the perfect time," Mai told him.
"And why is that?" Yami asked, putting his arms to his chest.
"Because… We might not get to for away when Ryou gets back from his trip. Please Yami! It would mean the world to us if you just give us the afternoon and then you can talk to Anzu later on tonight," Shizuka begged and suggested.
'Ryou? Whose Ryou? Probably another one of my past time friends. I wonder which one though... Well while I'm trying to figure that out I better go along with what Mai and Shizuka have planned for me so everyone still thinks that I'm Anzu.'
"Please Yami! Just let me have the afternoon with the girls! It would mean a lot to me!" Tea went along with Mai and Shizuka begging.
Yami looked straight into Tea eyes.
'This girl... She may not be my Anzu, but she has this rather innocent and sweet side to her like Anzu does, I sense. I just hope that she does not bring harm to my friends…or maybe… she could help me find Anzu… Where ever she might be... I pray to Ra that she is safe,' Yami said to himself.
Yami's serious look faded and he put on a soft looking face.
"All right, you may all go, but only IF Anzu comes to my chambers tonight to talk to me. All right?" Yami told the girls.
"It's a deal!" Tea, Mai, and Shizuka said.
And with that said Tea, Mai, and Shizuka giggled and ran off to where they were going.
***
"So on a range of 1 to 10 where would you put Yugi for being cute?" Mai asked Tea and Shizuka in her chambers.
"Yugi? I don't know... Let me think about that for a second..." Shizuka said.
Mai turned to Tea and said, "What about you Anzu?"
Tea blushed.
Putting a scale of how cute Yugi was... her former crush!
"Ummm... I'd have to say a... 7," Tea thought.
Mai slightly nodded in agreement.
"Yeah... I guess a 7 wouldn't be so bad for Yugi. What do you think, Shizuka?" Mai asked.
"A 7 sounds good to me," Shizuka told them.
"Okay! What about Jou?" Mai said next.
"No way! I am not putting a scale on that Mai! Jou's my brother!" Shizuka said out loud.
Tea and Mai laughed.
"Well of course YOU don't have to scale that one Shizuka! That would be just plain weird!" Mai said while laughing.
Tea continued to laugh too.
"Okay! Okay! Stop! So, come on Anzu! Where would you put Jou on a scale of 1 to 10?" Mai asked her as soon as she stopped laughing.
Tea thought about it for a moment.
"Ummm... I'd give Jou... probably an... 8..." Tea said quietly.
Now it was Mai and Shizuka's turn to laugh out loud.
"Really? You'd give my brother an 8! Wow!" Shizuka said in shock.
"I can't believe you would give Jou a higher rating than Yugi!" Mai said.
"Well... What about you, Mai? Where would you put Jou?" Tea asked.
"That irresponsible guy! I wouldn't waste my time to give that dork a rating," Mai told her.
"Oh come on Mai! I know you like him," Shizuka said while giving her a smirk.
Mai looked at her completely shocked.
"How dare you say that Shizuka! I would never!"
"Huh-uh... Sure you wouldn't..." then Shizuka started cracking up again.
Mai gave her a mean look and then looked away.
"Okay, so whose next?" Tea asked while trying to get Mai to join in the fun again.
"Honda, of course!" Shizuka said with excitement building in her throat.
"Okay... Honda..." Tea quietly said.
'Tristan...? Where would I put Tristan on the scale?' she thought.
"Well?" Shizuka asked.
"Uhhh... I think Honda is a 7. I think he's a 7," Tea answered.
"A 7 sounds good. I think so too," Shizuka agreed.
Mai looked back at them and in a bored voice said, "A 6."
"Okay," the others said.
Mai decided to now let go of what Shizuka said and really get back into the game a few moments later.
"Now who?" Shizuka asked Mai.
"I think we all know who... Ryou!" Mai smiled happily as she said it.
'Ryou! I don't even know who he is! How am I going to scale him if I don't even know who he is?!' Tea thought wildly.
"Ryou, huh? Hmmm... That's a tough one too!" Shizuka as she went into thinking about it.
"What about you, Anzu? We all know that Ryou is like the only other guy you get excited to see, besides Yami, in the palace," Mai said while smiling.
'Oh great! If I can't figure out who Ryou is fast everyone is going to find out that I'm not Anzu! Oh come on, Tea! Think! Think! Who could Ryou be?' Tea thought desperately.
"Well… What do you think?" Mai started to get a little impatient.
"I'm still thinking," Tea asked back in a rush.
'Come on! Ryou is… is… Bakura! Yeah! He's got to be Bakura! I just pray he's Bakura!' Tea finally got it.
"Okay! I would have to put Ryou at a… 8," Tea told Mai.
"Finally! I thought you'd never tell us, Anzu! And you Shizuka?" Mai said.
"I go with a 7 on Ryou," Shizuka replied.
"Either a 6 or a 7 for Ryou on me," Mai told them.
"So whose left?" Shizuka asked.
Mai looked to Tea and they both smiled.
"Yami!" they all said and laughed.
"K! Shizuka, you go first. What's Yami on your scale?" Mai asked.
"An 8… I think," Shizuka simply said.
"I'd go with a 9 for me on Yami," Mai answered while blushing a bit.
"Errr… Uhhh… For Yami? I'd would say a… 10," Tea said as quiet as she could.
Shizuka and Mai laughed as hard as they could once they heard Tea's answer.
"I knew it! You've like Yami along, huh Anzu?" Mai looked to Tea.
Tea blushed.
"No! I just think he's cute! You don't have to like a guy to think he's cute, you know," Tea told her.
Mai continued to laughed as hard as she could.
"Okay… Okay… Okay! That's enough now. I think we're done for scaling the guys on how cute they are," Mai said a few moments later.
"Thank you!" Tea and Shizuka said.
"Hey!" Mai said and they continued to laugh all afternoon long.
***
"Yami…?" Tea said as she walked into his chambers that night.
*Silence*
"Are you here?" Tea continued to ask.
Silence still filled the room.
'I guess he's not here yet… I wonder why?' Tea thought to herself as she walked out onto the pharaoh balcony.
"Wow! It sure is beautiful tonight. The stars look even better here than they do back home," Tea accidentally said out loud.
"I'm sure they do… Tea," said the mysterious voice of Yami in the shadows.
Tea quickly spun around to find Yami right behind her again.
"How…? What do you mean, Yami? It's me, Anzu," Tea lied.
Yami laughed.
"You're lies can't work with me like they do with the others," Yami told her.
"Because of your Millenium Puzzle, I know…" Tea said back, sadly.
Yami looked at her.
She looked and acted just like Anzu did, but there was still something different about this girl.
Something not even he could explain.
Yami knew that it wasn't a bad feeling, because he could sense now that this stranger was indeed a good person.
"How do you know, Tea? Why are you here? And where is Anzu?" Yami asked.
"I know because… Okay, this may be hard to believe, but I'm from the future," she told him honestly.
"The future?" Yami asked while his eyes widened.
"Yes, I come from Domino City, Japan. 5,000 years from now."
"Wow! What else can you tell me, Tea?" Yami continued to ask questions with great interest.
"There isn't much I'm afraid to say Yami. I don't why I'm here and I don't know where your friend Anzu is. I just wish I knew…" Tea said while looking very sad.
She put her face against a wall while tears threatened to come out.
And then Tea had had it.
She had burst into tears and covered her face with her hands.
"I'm sorry Yami! I shouldn't act like this, but I'm scared. I don't even know if I'll even get back! I don't know how to get back! I feel so lost…" and Tea continued to cry.
Yami felt sorry for the girl.
He decided to give her hug for comfort.
He hoped that it would make her feel better.
When Tea saw that Yami offered him to hold her, she couldn't refuse it.
Yami patted her back and hugged her gently.
"I'm sorry that you have to go through with this, Tea. It wasn't right that you pulled away from the people that you love. I wish that I could help you, but I have no knowledge of how to transport people into the past or the future. Though, I truly wish that I could… for you."
Tea let go of Yami in surprise of what he had said while he touched her chin.
He brought it up slowly and gently forced her to look into his eyes… the eyes that she loved.
Yami looked directly into Tea eyes and felt something that he hadn't felt since Anzu was there.
Yami looked fondly at her and she smiled.
Yami slowly leaned in closer to Tea.
Moving in closer… and closer… and closer… until-
"Yami, wait! I can't do this!" Tea told him.
"Can't do what?" Yami asked.
"I can't kiss you… I don't even know you… Okay, yes I do, b-but that's another story," Tea said as she calmed down and wiped her tears away.
"How? How do you know me? Is there something else you haven't told me?" Yami asked her with full interest still.
Tea sighed.
"Well, you know how I said that I come from the future?"
"Yeah," Yami replied.
"Well, so do you and everyone else in the palace. You, me, Yugi, Jou, Honda, Mai, Shizuka, and Ryou, we all come from the future."
"You can't be serious! Hey wait a minute! How did you know about Ryou?"
Tea blushed.
"We were kind of talking about you guys when Mai, Shizuka, and I were having our girl talk this afternoon," Tea explained.
"Ohhh… So that's what you guys were laughing about all afternoon. Making fun of us, huh?"
Tea laughed.
"No… Not whole the time."
"Now you think your being funny now huh? Yeah, very funny."
Tea giggled.
***
Later on that night Tea returned to her chambers after Yami promised not to mention anything that they had talked about no one.
Yami walked her there and said goodnight.
After she fell asleep Yami didn't leave her said until he heard Yugi calling his name out in the palace.
"Yami! Yami, come here!" Yugi said from outside of Anzu's bedchambers.
Yami got a little mad at Yugi for his disturbing of watching and staring over the new girl that had entered his life.
Yami walked over to Yugi.
"What is it, Yugi? What's so important that you had to bother me from-," Yami was cut off.
"Staring at Anzu all night…" Yugi said in a drift.
"What is it, Yugi?" Yami repeated, a little annoyed.
"Why are you still up? You never stay up this late at night unless… unless there's something wrong! What's wrong? Tell me! What has happened?" Yugi urged.
"Nothing! There's nothing wrong!" Yami said.
"Then why are you still up?" Yami knew that Yugi wasn't going to give up that easily.
Yami stared at Yugi for a moment and pulled him completely away from Anzu's chambers.
"Yugi, are you sure that no one else is up? It's just us up, right?" Yami asked.
"Yeah. I checked before I came over to Anzu's room," Yugi told him.
"Good, because I need to tell you something, but only if you keep it a secret between us. Deal?"
"Deal!"
"Okay! Do you know remember how Anzu was acting all crazy and weird after she had woken up from Jou knocking her unconscious?" Yami asked.
"Yeah, so what?"
"Well… That isn't the real Anzu! That's Anzu from the future! She's from the future! 5,000 years ahead from now."
Yugi just stared at him for a moment then spoke again.
"Oh my God! You have got to be kidding me! That's Anzu is… f-from the future!" Yugi said, shocked.
"Yeah, but her real name is Tea and she says that she has friends that look exactly like us too."
"Wow! But how did you find what all of this?" Yugi asked.
"Well… Uhhh… You know how I asked Anzu or rather Tea to come and see earlier this night?"
"Yeah, so you found out all of this from tonight?"
"Yes, I did, but it wasn't easy, Yugi."
"What do you mean, Yami?"
"She got Anzu's heart and spirit. She's exactly like Anzu. In practically every way possible and-," Yami was once again cut off from Yugi.
"-and you like her too, Yami. I can tell. The way you look at Tea is very similar to the way that you looked at Anzu."
Yami shook his head in disagreement.
"I could never Yugi! I could never learn to love a girl from the future. That's impossible!" Yami stated.
"Is it impossible or are you just afraid that you might just love the same girl from two different time periods, Yami?"
"Huh?"
"You think about that Yami… I believe that you will see what I mean when the time comes, but until then… get some sleep. It's late," Yugi told his friend.
"I will! Just give me five more minutes and I'll be gone," Yami snapped.
"Fine! But just think about what I said. Is it impossible to love Tea or are you just afraid to? Think about that Yami… You really need to know… and soon," then Yugi walked off for bed.
"I- I couldn't possibly love Tea! I love Anzu! Or… or do I love the both of them?"
****That's the end of chapter three! Wasn't it great?! I definitely think it will be one of the best chapters of the story. In the next chapter, Ryou (Bakura) enters the story and a certain Pharaoh of Egypt gets a little jealous him. He, he, he, he, he! Now I'm so evil, huh? You'll just have to wait for the next chapter and see what happens. I'll try to make it quick, but I do have school so I can't make any promises. Hope to come back soon with the fourth chapter! ^_^
Please review!
***Chapter three is up! I do think that this story is going good so far, don't ya think? Thanks for all of the reviews so far. I hope to get more. Enjoy the third chapter! C ya!

"You can't be serious! Hey wait a minute! How did you know about Ryou?"
Tea blushed.
"We were kind of talking about you guys when Mai, Shizuka, and I were having our girl talk this afternoon," Tea explained.
"Ohhh… So that's what you guys were laughing about all afternoon. Making fun of us, huh?"
Tea laughed.
"No… Not whole the time."
"Now you think your being funny now huh? Yeah, very funny."
Tea giggled.

Later on that night Tea returned to her chambers after Yami promised not to mention anything that they had talked about no one.
Yami walked her there and said goodnight.
After she fell asleep Yami didn't leave her said until he heard Yugi calling his name out in the palace.
"Yami! Yami, come here!" Yugi said from outside of Anzu's bedchambers.
Yami got a little mad at Yugi for his disturbing of watching and staring over the new girl that had entered his life.
Yami walked over to Yugi.
"What is it, Yugi? What's so important that you had to bother me from-," Yami was cut off.
"Staring at Anzu all night…" Yugi said in a drift.
"What is it, Yugi?" Yami repeated, a little annoyed.
"Why are you still up? You never stay up this late at night unless… unless there's something wrong! What's wrong? Tell me! What has happened?" Yugi urged.
"Nothing! There's nothing wrong!" Yami said.
"Then why are you still up?" Yami knew that Yugi wasn't going to give up that easily.
Yami stared at Yugi for a moment and pulled him completely away from Anzu's chambers.
"Yugi, are you sure that no one else is up? It's just us up, right?" Yami asked.
"Yeah. I checked before I came over to Anzu's room," Yugi told him.
"Good, because I need to tell you something, but only if you keep it a secret between us. Deal?"
"Deal!"
"Okay! Do you know remember how Anzu was acting all crazy and weird after she had woken up from Jou knocking her unconscious?" Yami asked.
"Yeah, so what?"
"Well… That isn't the real Anzu! That's Anzu from the future! She's from the future! 5,000 years ahead from now."
Yugi just stared at him for a moment then spoke again.
"Oh my God! You have got to be kidding me! That's Anzu is… f-from the future!" Yugi said, shocked.
"Yeah, but her real name is Tea and she says that she has friends that look exactly like us too."
"Wow! But how did you find what all of this?" Yugi asked.
"Well… Uhhh… You know how I asked Anzu or rather Tea to come and see earlier this night?"
"Yeah, so you found out all of this from tonight?"
"Yes, I did, but it wasn't easy, Yugi."
"What do you mean, Yami?"
"She got Anzu's heart and spirit. She's exactly like Anzu. In practically every way possible and-," Yami was once again cut off from Yugi.
"-and you like her too, Yami. I can tell. The way you look at Tea is very similar to the way that you looked at Anzu."
Yami shook his head in disagreement.
"I could never Yugi! I could never learn to love a girl from the future. That's impossible!" Yami stated.
"Is it impossible or are you just afraid that you might just love the same girl from two different time periods, Yami?"
"Huh?"
"You think about that Yami… I believe that you will see what I mean when the time comes, but until then… get some sleep. It's late," Yugi told his friend.
"I will! Just give me five more minutes and I'll be gone," Yami snapped.
"Fine! But just think about what I said. Is it impossible to love Tea or are you just afraid to? Think about that Yami… You really need to know… and soon," then Yugi walked off for bed.
"I- I couldn't possibly love Tea! I love Anzu! Or… or do I love the both of them?"
****That's the end of chapter three! Wasn't it great?! I definitely think it will be one of the best chapters of the story. In the next chapter, Ryou (Bakura) enters the story and a certain Pharaoh of Egypt gets a little jealous him. He, he, he, he, he! Now I'm so evil, huh? You'll just have to wait for the next chapter and see what happens. I'll try to make it quick, but I do have school so I can't make any promises. Hope to come back soon with the fourth chapter! ^_^
Please review!
