'Not Really You'
***Chapter six is up! Now in this chapter I decided to do something a little different then what I usually do. I'm putting in the song 'Cry' by Mandy Moore for this particular chapter. Just to see how things go. I think it will be good since it kind of relates to the story, but anyway... Thanks for all of the reviews so far and I hope you enjoy the chapter! ^_^

Chapter six: The moment I saw you cry
The next afternoon Yami and Tea were once again at his balcony talking about Tea wanting to leave for the future.
"But why, Tea? Don't you like it here? Don't you like being here with all of us... with me? Why do you want to leave so badly and so soon?"
"Yami, I love it here with all of you guys, but this isn't my home. Please, you must understand! It isn't right that I'm here. This isn't where I belong."
Yami turned his back from Tea and said, "It was once your home. When Anzu was here and you were back in Japan, it was."
"Yeah, but that's different. I come from 5 milleniums ahead of this time and I know that in your heart that you know this isn't where I belong."
Yami turned back to Tea and said, "Do you really think that I believe that Tea? Or is that just another one of your excuses for wanting to leave?"
"Yami, why are you acting like this? You didn't have a problem with this yesterday when Isis was explaining the situation to us."
"Well maybe because I didn't want to make a scene in front of MY friends about how I felt about it!" Yami yelled at her.
Tea stared hard at Yami then said, "You know what Yami? Forget get we ever had this conversation. No, how about instead we just forget we were ever friends. I'm sure that's what you want!"
And with that said Tea ran out of the room.
"Tea stop! Don't do this!" he yelled out to her, but she ignored it.
*** Tea left Yami crying.
She couldn't handle speaking to him right now.
Tea walked out of the palace to the garden and cried some more.
'I can't believe Yami is acting this way! Doesn't he realize that I'm going through a hard enough as it is? I have to figure out what fear I need to overcome in order to get home and have the strength to leave all of my new friends behind. Does he really think I have it that easy?' she thought to herself while crying.
"Anzu...? Are you out here?" someone called out to her.
"What?" she said back as she looked around for the voice.
She found Ryou right outside of the palace, looking for her.
"Anzu, what are you doing out here crying? Is there something the matter?" Ryou asked gently.
"Oh, hey Ryou. No, there's nothing wrong. Yami's just been giving me a hard time that's all," she answered while wiping the tears off her face.
"Why is he giving you a hard time?"
"Oh... I'd rather not say, but it's not really a big deal anyway."
"Well, is there anything that I can do to help you out?"
"Oh that's so sweet of you Ryou! But... I don't think I need anything. I mean, I don't think you can help, but thank you for asking. Though, I'm sorry if I've disrupted any of your plans by coming and looking for me. By the way, is Yami looking for me by any chance?"
"It's no problem Anzu and yes, I did happen to see Yami before I came out looking for you. He didn't look too happy, but I wouldn't worry about it. Yami will get over whatever he's feeling within the hour, so it's nothing to stress over. Though, I don't know if he's looking for you. He didn't seem like he was looking for you."
"Good because I don't want him too."
Ryou laughed.
"Yes, well I can see why."
Then Tea looked happily at Ryou.
"You know Ryou, besides of what you did to me the other night you've really always been a terrific friend to me and I want to thank you for that."
Ryou blushed.
"Awww! It's nothing Anzu! I'm just trying to be a good friend, that's all."
"I know, but it's friends like you that keep me going in the palace, you know?"
Ryou looked down slightly and said, "Thanks Anzu. Coming for you, I take that as quite a compliment."
"Your welcome!" she said.
Then she walked over to Ryou and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Though, what Tea didn't realize was that Yami saw the whole thing, right there in front of them, staring with sadness and a shocked look on his face.
Tea saw Yami standing at the door to the palace.
She froze at the sight of seeing him.
'Oh my god! No! Please say Yami did not just see that! Please say he did not just see me do that!' she completely feared in her mind.
But what she wished for hadn't come true.
Because in the next second Yami ran away like magic as Tea began to follow him.
"Yami, wait! It's not what you think!" Tea said as she entered the palace.
Though, Yami was nowhere to be seen.
Tea ran around the palace until she bumped into Yugi by accident.
"Yugi! Have you seen Yami at all in the past few minutes?"
Yugi looked at her for a few seconds then answered, "Uhhh..... No, I haven't. Why? What's wrong?"
"Nothing! I'll talk you later! Bye!" then she ran off again.
She ran and ran around in the palace while she yelled out, "Yami! Where are you! Where are you hiding?"
Silence filled the air.
"Yami..... where are you?" she asked one more time.
She walked around the palace after that until she came to a place in the palace that she was unaware of.
'I've never seen this part of the palace before... It's so weird,' she said to herself.
The walls had many pictures of events that had accord over the years in Egypt.
There was ancient writing all over the walls and place seemed pretty beat up.
"What is this place?" she asked out loud.
Even though Tea was unaware of this mysterious place in the palace she continued her search for Yami.
She searched and searched until...
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended so soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
And I was changed
'Oh... Yami...' she said in her mind.
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
'...I'd never thought I would see him like this. Yami's actually crying. He seems so upset for what happened between Ryou and I...' she continued to think about what was going on.
It was late in September
And I'd seen you before
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
And I was changed
'...Yami... he's acting so human-like for once. He's so sad... I guess I never thought how Yami would feel with me hanging around Ryou like that. I never knew...' Tea began to look sad.
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
'... I never took Yami's feelings seriously and now he's crying because of what I've done. What have I done! What can I do now to show to him that I do care?'
I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything, all right.
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon.
'I can't believe I'm feeling like this, but I'm... feeling sorry and sad for what did. I want to help him and show him that I'm sorry because I know in my heart now that I never meant to hurt him because I...'
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
"Yami..." Tea said out loud and Yami looked up, alarmed.
"Who is it? Who's there?" Yami asked while wiping off the tears from his eyes.
Tea slowly opened the door and showed herself, sadly.
"Tea... What are you doing here? How did you find me? No one has ever found me here," Yami told her.
Though, by then tears started flowing down her cheeks.
"Oh.. Tea.." he said as he walked over to her.
Tea wrapped her arms around Yami and said, "I'm so sorry Yami! I never took you seriously with how you felt! I never understood that you would be so hurt for what Ryou did the other night or how when I kissed him on the cheek you would get all upset about it or about any of those other things. And... And I'm... I'm so sorry Yami. I promise to you that I never truly meant to hurt you! Please forgive me! Please!" then she continued to cry on his shoulder.
Yami hugged her tightly and said, "Shhhhhh Tea... Everything will be all right now. I promise that you don't have to worry anymore."
Tea looked at him and said back, "Thank you Yami. That means so much to me that you said that. I just don't know what I would have done here without you by my side, helping get through all of this. I just don't know how..."
Yami smiled.
"You're welcome Tea and thank you for understanding how I felt about all of this. I just want you to know that as long I can remember your face you will always be my friend and I will always look out for you..."
Then Tea closed her eyes, nuzzled up against Yami, and finally began to relax.
'... because I love you...'
***That's all for chapter six! Awww! That chapter was so sweet! I will tell all of you reviewers that this be one of my favorite chapters throughout story. What do you think? I would love to know! ^_^ Thanks for reading and please review!
Oh, and the last line in the chapter, Yami was the one that said that. I just wanted to make sure that all of you got that. See you in the next chapter! Bye! ***
