'Here For You'

Chapter two: Can't believe it

As soon as Tea heard Yami say those words she lost the lack of air. She couldn't breath for a matter of seconds and was in a complete state of shock.

"I have returned to see you, Tea. Aren't you glad to see me?" her pharaoh said with an innocent smile.

Tea was still silence for several seconds then finally decided to let out her feelings.

"How did you get here? How could you get here? Why did you come to the future? Why are you here?" she asked.

"Well, that wasn't exactly the kind of hello I wanted from you, but I guess I would a bit surprised to see you again if you came back to Egypt."

"I...I don't know what to say Yami. I mean, I thought you couldn't come to the future. What's going on? How did you get here in the first place?"

Yami laughed. "You haven't change a bit Tea. You still ask a lot of questions."

Tea just ignored the comment he made. "Yami, how did you get here?"

"Still no hello? I thought you would have missed me. I mean, I did travel 5,000 years in time to see you. Can't I at least have a hug?"

Tea calmed down and sighed. "I'm sorry Yami. I shouldn't have jumped on you like that. Please forgive me." Then gave him a hug.

"There's no need to apologize Tea. It doesn't matter that you got all surprised to see me. Hey, I probably would have been the same way. All that matters is that I get to see your beautiful face again," he said as he gently let her go.

"Oh...Yami, that's so sweet. You always did know what to say to make me feel better."

"Hey, I still do. Nothing about me has changed and expect for the fact that I've missed you terribly," he said while touching her chin gently.

Tea smiled. "So have I, but tell me, how is Anzu and the others? Does she know about me? Has everyone missed me?"

"Yes, Anzu does know about you. I'm sure that's not a surprise though. Mai and Shizuka never can keep their mouths shut about anything and you out of anyone, besides Anzu, should know that."

Tea laughed. "Yes, I could agree with that."

"Oh, and yes, everyone misses you. They all wish that they could see you again."

"So do I," she said sadly, her head hanging slightly down.

Yami hung his head to meet her in his eyes. Both of them slowly coming up when he said, "Ryou especially misses you, Tea. He thinks about you a lot. Almost as much as I do."

Tea rolled as eyes. "No one is ever allowed to beat you, huh? The great 'King of Games' can't be beaten or else the world would come an end right?" she said sarcastically.

"Do we have to think about that right now, even though you're right? Can't we focus in on the fact that I'm back to see you?"

He walked up closer to her and stared into her eyes.

As Tea looked back she couldn't help but think of how and why he came to the future.

"Yami, how did you get here?" she repeated to asked.

Yami wouldn't speak for moments then said, "It wasn't that easy Tea. I'll tell you that much."

Tea was about to ask more when Yugi interrupted them.

"Guys! What happened? Yami, you were suppose to help me, remember?"

Yami was in shock. "Yugi, is that really-," then Tea covered his mouth, leaving Yami to mumble out the rest of his sentence.

"I'll be in your room to help you in two minutes Yugi," she told him, cutting Yami off.

"All right," he said tiredly.

He left the room, but then walked right back in again.

"And don't forget this time," he told them in a serious voice and walked off.

As Yugi left the room Tea stared hard at Yami. She took her hand off of his mouth and said, "Yami! Are you seriously trying to blow your cover the first five minutes you've been here in the future?!"

"Blow my cover?" he asked confused.

Tea rolled her eyes again. "It means have everyone know that you're here instead of the real you."

"What?"

"I don't want my friends knowing that you are here instead of my boyfriend! If they knew that you were here instead of the you from my time they wouldn't know what to do."

"They would act just like our friends in the past. Our friends were fine with it when they found out that you were there, in Egypt, and I'm sure your friends here will be the same as well. You said so yourself that they're just like them. I know that it will be just fine."

"But Yami, it's different here in the future. Most of my friends don't even really know what's going when there's a shadow game or about the Millenium Items or even really about the Egyptian God cards. This is still all very new to my friends and the only reason why I know about all of this is because I was with you, here in future, for the first date we had months ago and I learned about all of this."

"Actually, now that you bring that subject up I would still love to hear all about that occasion, but until you have the guts to confess it, how can you be so sure? I mean, I still think that they would understand and accept me."

"But you're not the person they know."

"I think you now know how I felt when I found out that you were in Egypt instead of Anzu."

"Anzu wasn't gone. I was just part of her at the time and it's not like I planned on doing that."

"Well, what do you think I'm doing now? I'm acting as the me you know from this time period."

"But Yami, this is different!" Tea was starting to get impatient.

"How? How is this situation different from the one you were in?"

"For one thing I didn't want to be in Egypt when I first got there AND I didn't know I was going there to begin with."

"Okay...I see your point there, but other then that this is no different. I have the chance to see the world 5,000 years from my time and be with the girl I love."

Tea sighed. She didn't like Yami's idea, but hearing him say those last words were like heaven on earth to her and she could hear those words from him forever.

Tea loved him so much and she knew that she couldn't deny her feelings for the young and handsome pharaoh of Egypt.

"I don't know Yami... It's just...don't you think that you should be home? I mean, you do rule an entire country."

"It's okay. Yugi's covering for me."

"Yeah, I'm sure he is," she said under her breath.

"Tea, everything will be fine and just so that you feel better about all of this we won't tell the others about this until you're ready for them to know."

"Do you mean it?"

"Have I ever lied to you?"

"Yes! When you said you hadn't told ANYONE about me being in ancient Egypt instead of Anzu you told Yugi."

"Okay...so I have lied to you once! Though things are different now and you know it. Besides, I don't even know the Yugi from this time, remember? So how can I keep anything away from you now?"

"I still don't know. Of course I want to be with you, Yami, but you aren't from here and..." she didn't know what else to say.

Yami cupped her face with his hands and gently looked into her eyes.

"Tea, please...I want to be with you and I've missed you so much...can you see that?"

Tea was trying hard not to cry. "I do see it, Yami and I've missed you so much also, but-."

"Then why question what you want? You do want to see me, right? All I know is that once you left I wasn't able to sleep well knowing that you weren't in my life anymore. After you left I never thought I would see you again, but then I got the chance to. Haven't you wished to see me at all since we last saw each other?"

Tea slowing walked away from Yami. "Sometimes I've actually wished that I never left ancient Egypt."

"Then why did you?" Yami asked, turning around to her and bring her back into his arms.

"Because part of my heart still wanted to be here. I have friends, family, and a life here in the future and as much as I didn't want to see you go from my life I knew that it wasn't my place to stay there."

"Tea, I want to be with you..."

"Well, I want to be with you too, but we both know that that could never happen."

Then Yami suddenly asked, "But if it could, would you let it happen?"

Tea seemed surprised with the question he asked her. "I-I don't know. That's a very hard question for me to answer Yami. Why would you ask me something like that?"

"Because-," Yami was cut off from someone yelling.

"TEA!!!" they both heard Yugi screaming for her from the other side of the house.

"I'm coming! I'll be there in just a second," she yelled back to him, from across the house.

Then she turned back to Yami.

"Please think about what I said Tea. It would mean a lot to me if you could answer that."

"But I don't even know what all of that means."

Yami looked at her innocently.

"I'll think about it, but you will need to give me time to answer that question. So until I do I need to go help Yugi before he kills someone."

Then Tea started to walk off to Yugi's room when Yami grabbed her arm.

"Tea...one more thing..."

"What is it?" she asked while turning back to him.

"I just wanted to give you something before you leave."

"It's only going to be for a minute or two Yami. I won't be that long."

"I know, but I still want to give it to you."

"What?"

"This..." he said in a gentle voice and leaned over to give Tea a small kiss on the lips.

She kissed him back, but only for a few seconds. "I need to go help Yugi. I'll be right back, okay?" Tea told him once she broke the kiss.

"I'll be here for you when you return. I'll always be here for you," he said in a slight whisper then Tea smiled and walked away.

Leaving Yami to only say one more thing.

"I'll be here for you...always..."

~*~ No, the story is NOT over yet. Though, I thought it was a nice touch to end the chapter with the title of the story, don't you think? How was the second chapter BTW? Could you tell that Yami's keeping some secrets away from Tea? Anyhow, I hope it was good and you will all continue to read more of the story in the future. (Get it, in the future?") Okay, I'll stop now. Thanks again for reading and please review.
