To Reader: I just loved the last chapter! It was so....sweet! *sigh* The reviews I received for the last chapter were awesome! I really want to thank ALL of you for making this story possible. Go on! Give yourself a pat on the back! You deserve it! @_@

Some answers to the following questions I received;

Lemon in the story? No, I'm inexperienced when it comes to Lemons. Also, for some reason I think that Yami and Tea are pretty well off without the sex. Sorry people who wanted lemon!

How old is Yugi in this story? Oops! Sorry I didn't put that in earlier chapters! He's seventeen like Yami and Tea. Serenity is sixteen. Joey is eighteen along with Tristan and Mai. Ummmm...the reason why you think Yugi is probably Yami's little brother is probably because I can't see Yugi as an adult. When I look at Yugi, he reminds me of a little kid. So....yeah...I hope this helped ya!!

If you have a question, leave it in the review....if you want to. Uhh....oh yeah....on to the story!!!

Chapter Seven: Your typical Barbeque

"Tag, you're it."

'.....and how sweet it is to be it!'

Tea thought as she stared into the eyes of her captor. She never really noticed how vibrant his eyes were until now. The color, violet, really did give him a mysterious and noble look. She liked it. As she continued to look into his violet eyes, Yami had some thoughts of his own about Tea.

'She's really pretty when she smiles like that.....'

Yami noted as he continued to look at Tea's features. He loved the way her eyes reminded him of an endless ocean, and the way her soft skin brushed against his. He even liked the way her hair glowed in the light. These features were indeed a privilege to look at. He blushed carelessly at his sudden blend of the thoughts about the Tea he knew for so long, but never really knew.

'Why is he staring at me like that?'

Tea pondered as his light gaze at her features turned into a heavy stare. She looked away from his face to notice the provocative position they were in. She flushed with embarrassment at their current situation. Yami noticed this and grew confused at her actions, that is, until he became aware that he was on top of her. She was about to say something, until a little girl skipped over and said,

"Hey! This is how my Mommy and Daddy made me!"

Yami's eyes widened at the little girl's words. Hastily, he moved off of Tea and sat on the supple grass beside her. Tea, on the other hand, sat up and looked at the little girl with a flushed expression.

"No, let me explain-" Tea was cut off by the little girl.

"Don't worry, my Mommy told me ALL about it!" She said as she walked away.

Tea watched the little girl walk away in awe.

'Well, you know what they say.....kids say the darnest things!'

Tea smiled weakly and looked over to Yami, who was brushing himself off. She cleared her throat purposely to reclaim his attention. He looked over to her with a blank expression.

"I-"

"You-"

They both chuckled after speaking at the same time. Tea signaled him to proceed.

"I'm sorry about what just happened," he said as she nodded her head.

"Yeah, I think we were just caught in the moment." She said as he sighed.

"Did you get hurt?" He said as she looked at her arms and legs.

"Nah, all intact." She stated as he smiled.

He was about to say something else when she reached over and brushed a piece of grass out of his hair. Her touch was so alluring that he wished he had some more grass in his hair.

"Hey! Are we gonna play tag or what!?"

A boy said as he walked over with a couple of his friends.

"I'm definitely out!" Tea said as she stood up slowly.

"Yeah, me too." Yami said as he shook himself out of his own fantasy.

"Awwwww!" A couple of kids whined.

Tea felt sorry for the little brats, but was in no position to continue their game.

"I'm sorry.....maybe another time..." Tea said as they continued to plead with them.

That's when Uncle Bob walked over. "Alright you little ones, go run off somewhere else!"

They obeyed and ran off to find someone else to bother. Once they were out of sight, Uncle Bob looked at the two sympathetically. "Are you two hungry?"

"A little," Tea said as Yami nodded.

"Alright, there's food on the table for you two...." He said as Tea started to walk over.

Yami started following, until UB stopped him. "Hey kid, are you two playing hard to get?"

Yami blushed and said, "no.....we just....."

"You don't have to answer that, son," he said as Yami sighed. "Your Aunt and I were the same way."

As UB walked away, Yami thought about what he just said. Was he falling for Tea? It was hard to tell now, considering that he just broke off a relationship and was feeling vulnerable right about now.

'Hmm.....I wonder how Tea feels about us?'

~Meanwhile~

"Hello there Serenity," Aunt Sal said as Tea froze in her tracks.

"Ummm...it's Tea..." Tea said as Aunt Sal glanced at her.

"Ohhh..sorry hun!" She said as Tea sat down. "The memory is the first to go!"

Tea smiled weakly as Aunt Sal sat next to her.

"Ya know, you two remind me of Bob and I." Aunt Sal said as Tea looked at her.

"Who? Yami and me?" Tea asked as Aunt Sal nodded.

"Of course! We used to always fool with each other's minds when it came to love.....just like a pair of squirrels during mating season!" Aunt Sal said as Tea swallowed hard.

"Well....like Yami said before.....we are just friends...." Tea answered as Aunt Sal sighed.

"Do you actually believe that?" Aunt Sal said curiously.

Tea didn't reply.

"I thought so," she said as Yami came over with Uncle Bob.

"Hello, young ladies." Uncle Bob said as Tea looked up at him.

"Hello." She said as she looked down back at her food.

Yami sat down, across from Tea, and took his plate without a word. As Tea went to go grab the ketchup, Yami had the same idea in mind. Their hands touched. Yami looked at their hands and gently pulled away. Tea, whose face reddened as well, kept her hand on the bottle until she realized what she was still doing. She shook her head softly and poured the contents of the bottle onto her sandwich.

After they finished their dinner, Yami and Tea helped clean up the yard and then they both sat down to relax for a little bit. As they were sitting down, Yami tried to think of a conversation to bring up.

"Hmmm....I wonder what happened to Yugi...." He said finally as Tea looked at him.

"I heard that he went with Grandpa to go get ice." She said as he nodded.

There was a silence again, that is, until they started hearing voices in the distance.

"Hey guys, whatcha doing?

Tea turned around to see a couple of little kids from before staring at Yami and her. She smiled weakly and said, "nothing....we're just hanging around."

"Ohhh...so do you wanna play tag with us?"

Tea and Yami both looked at each other, remembering what happened before.

"No." They said in unison.

"You'll be sorry," a little girl said as Tea and Yami looked at each other.

"Uhhh..." Tea said as she saw a glint of plastic behind their backs.

Tea looked over to Yami. "Yami...."

"What's wrong?" He said as she started to get up slowly.

"I think...we should-" Tea stopped when they all pulled out water guns.

"Run!" Tea said as Yami and her ran toward the house.

The kids started laughing at the two teens being sprayed.

"Quick! In the house!" Yami said as she ran into the house.

He followed, but locked the door after him so they could not get in.

He turned toward Tea, who was soaked. "There goes my shower tonight."

Tea smiled and pulled her bow out to shake her hair. Yami stared at her with his mouth slightly open. He loved the way her hair clung to the side of her face like that. She put it back in a bow and looked at Yami.

"Well, at least they can't get us in here." She said as Grandpa and Yugi walked in.

"Hello you two!" Grandpa said as Yugi walked toward them.

"Hey," he said as he looked at them comically. "What happened to you guys?"

As he said this, he started walking past them toward the back. Tea was about to warn him, but Yami put one finger to his lips to silence her. "AHHHHHHHHH!" They heard as Yugi rushed back over.

Tea and Yami started laughing uncontrollably at the soaked Yugi.

"Wow, I never....thought this day would.....be so eventful!" Tea said in between giggles.

Yami nodded and slowly stopped laughing. "Whoo.....that was funny."

Tea smiled and put a couple of strands of hair behind her ear. She was about to add to Yami's comment when Aunt Sal and Uncle Bob walked in. They looked at the two.

"Oh! Look at you two! Y'all better get out of those wet clothes before you get sick!" Aunt Sal exclaimed.

Yami nodded at the two of them as they both walked off toward the kitchen.

"Do you want some spare clothes?" He asked as she blushed.

"No....I can go home and change....it's really not that far."

'Hmmm....speaking of home.....'

"Oh geez.....I better get going..." Tea said as she put her hands on her hips.

"I'll walk you home if you want..." Yami said as Tea smiled.

"Thank you," she said as she walked toward the kitchen to say goodbye.

After saying her goodbyes, they started walking toward her house in silence. As they turned the corner toward her house, Tea looked over toward Yami and smiled.

"Thanks for bringing me home..." She said as Yami shrugged his shoulders.

"No problem," he said as she walked up toward her door.

"I guess I'll see you in school." Tea said as he nodded.

'Yeah right, he'll probably forget about me by then!'

"Yeah, see ya in school." He said as she unlocked her door.

"Bye." She said as she walked into her house and closed the door.

Yami sighed and walked away from her house, deep in thought about Tea.

~Game Shop~

"Ohhh...so our little Romeo is home!" Aunt Sal said as Yami entered the GS.

"Uhhh..." He said as Grandpa walked up to Yami and put a hand around his shoulders.

"Alright you two, lay off him." Grandpa said as Yami started feeling relieved.

But, Grandpa didn't stop there.

".....he has to kiss her first to make it official." Yami fell over anime style.

"You know what....I'm going to go up to my room...." Yami said as he started walking upstairs.

"Alright dear, just tell me when the honeymoon is so I can make arrangements!"

Yami sneered at them. He couldn't believe that they thought Tea and him were going out. As he walked into his room, he plopped on the bed and looked at the ceiling.

'Who needs them? They don't know what I am feeling right now.'

~To be continued....~

AH! Did anybody see YGO today? I think that is what inspired me to write this story. I just love how Joey and Tea get kidnapped and Yami has to save them. *sigh*
