~*~ Hello everybody! Thanks for continuing! I hope you all enjoy this next chapter! ^_^

Chapter thirteen: The right choice
"Yes, this has become quite a problem, hasn't it?" Ishizu spoke up again.
Tea was still on the ground. Crying her eyes out still because of what had been going on.
"My pharaoh, please come back with me to Egypt," Anzu continued to beg to P. Yami.
"How can I choose now...when I know I'm in love with two people?" P. Yami whispered.
Yami was on his knees, rubbing Tea's back, hoping that she would say something to him.
"Tea, please, you must get up. Please get up," he begged her as well.
"No...There's no point in getting up now, Yami. I've fallen in love with two of the same people from two different worlds and now...I know in the end I'm going to lose one or the other."
Anzu heard Tea say that and quietly walked over to her and Yami.
"What? Is this the same Tea that fell in love with my pharaoh and told him that you would never lose each other because you were both in each others' hearts?"
Tea opened her eyes and stared at Anzu.
"You knew about that? How did you know that I said that?" she asked Anzu softly.
Anzu smiled. "You're not the only one that sneaks away in the middle of the night to talk to people."
"Are you saying you went to talk to Yugi about what happened between Yami and I?"
"No, I'm saying that I did with Ryou."
"And what did Ryou tell you?" then Tea started to get up.
"Only what he knew. He did however say that Yami had a hard time saying goodbye to you before you left ancient Egypt."
"Yeah, he did. But there's something you all forget. He wasn't the only one that had trouble with it."
Then Tea started to walk away from them. Rubbing her shoulders because she was cold and looking down at herself in sadness.
'I just don't know what to do anymore. What if I make the wrong choice when choosing what would be best for all of us?-'
"You won't," Anzu interrupted her. "Because I know you'll make the right decision just like you always have."
Tea turned around to face Anzu. "Did you just read my thoughts?"
"Yes. That is how we are partly connected. When we are together, in the same time, we can read each others thoughts and feelings."
"So I guess you must know how I'm feeling right now, don't you?"
Anzu nodded. "Yes, I do, but you must realize something, Tea."
"What's that?"
"Who do you really want to be with tomorrow?"
Tea looked at her shocked. "I said that exact same thing to Yami before you came here."
"I know," Anzu smiled. "We're a lot alike and I think that's pretty cool."
Tea smiled as well. "Yeah, I guess it is."
"Now, can you truly answer that question to yourself, Tea?"
Tea sighed. She looked past Anzu and walked over to the two Yamis.
She looked at each of them and closed her eyes.
FLASHBACKS ~~~ (These are all of the best flashbacks I could think of that Tea was with Yami or thought about him. They're not perfect, but I think I've got the basic idea what each person said.)
~~~ 'Wait! Maybe there are two Yugis! I remember now. There was a shadow game and we were all in it. I remember there was one Yugi that was in the game with us. The one that has always been our friend and then there was another Yugi. A more serious and confident Yugi that was coaching our Yugi in the shadow game.'
~~~ 'I don't really know how the whole Millenium Puzzle works, but I do know that when Yugi or any of his friends are in trouble the spirit inside his Millenium Puzzle will take over when Yugi's in over his head.'
~~~ "I'm sort of going through the same situation as you. Well, I mean it's not exactly as yours, but I have got goals and dreams too. See, right now my heart is telling me to dance and I am. I know that I may not be the best at it and I may wake up one day and not like it anymore, but until then I'm going to stick with it."
"That's great, Tea. I'm always telling Yugi to follow his heart."
"Look, what I'm trying to say is you shouldn't look to the unknown as a enemy, you should see it as an adventure."
~~~ "Thank you for bringing me here, Tea. I believe that you were right about this place. I think that this exhibit will help me and gave me some answers to my past."
"Hey, what are for friends?"
"No matter what I'm ready to go those doors and find out the secrets of my past."
"No, we're ready. We're going to go through this together."
"Okay, then. Let's go."
~~~ "Yugi, look at that thick fog! Bakura must be in that thing."
"It can only mean one thing. Marik and Bakura are playing a shadow game."
"A shadow game?!"
*YU-GI-OH!!!!!!!!!* "Too many people have already gotten hurt by Marik's evil plans. I believe that it would be best if you went back downstairs, Tea."
"I'm sorry, Yugi, but I am not leaving you here all alone."
"But, Tea-."
"No, buts, Yugi. You forget that I was there with you the day when you found out about your past and you learned what you needed to do in order to save the world from destruction. I was there for you then and I'm going to stay with you now."
FLASHBACK ENDS ~ (A.N. What do you think?)
Tea opened her eyes again. When she did she found Yami standing right in front of her.
Tea gasped. "What were you doing, Tea?" Yami asked her.
"I-I-I was thinking about all of my memories of when I first found out about you, and when we went here for the first time and you learned about your past, and things like that."
Yami smiled. "You were always such a wonderful friend to Yugi and I, Tea. I promise that will never forget what you did for us- for me when I needed you most."
"Hey, what are friends for?" then she smiled while blushing.
Yami leaned in and gave her a small kiss on the lips.
"Thanks," Tea whispered out.
"Tea, I just want you to know that whatever happens in the end I'm always going to love you no matter what."
"So will I."
"Have you all decided yet?" Shadi asked.
"How much longer do we have?" Tea asked.
"20 minutes."
A little worried, but still remaining calm Tea managed to say, "Thank you."
"There is only one more person that needs to be talked to," Anzu told Tea and Yami.
'You know what the right thing to do is, Tea. I can see it in your eyes. You wish for things to go back the way they were before, don't you?' Tea heard Anzu say in her mind.
Tea looked over at Anzu. 'As much as it hurts to admit it I do believe that that would be best. I will miss your pharaoh dearly, Anzu. I love him very much.'
'I know you do. I have sensed that all along. But he is no longer just my pharaoh, Tea. He has indeed become both of ours.'
Tea smiled. 'Thank you for believing that.'
"You are welcome.'
Anzu started to walk over to P. Yami when Tea suddenly stopped her.
"Anzu, wait," Tea stopped right of her. "If there's anyone in the world that needs to tell him about the decision that we've made I know in my heart in needs to be me. Please let me be the one to tell him."
Anzu nodded her head once, softly. "Very well then, Tea. Go and tell our pharaoh what the right choice is."
Anzu started to walk back towards the other way.
"Do you believe we have chosen the right choice, Anzu?" Tea asked gently.
Anzu stopped and said, "I do believe that your choice is the choice for everyone else in this room...including myself so go and tell him the truth before it's too late. I have great faith in you," then she started to walk away again.
Tea sighed again and looked back towards her pharaoh.
He was sitting in chair, lost in his own thoughts.
"Yami, can I sit with you?" she asked.
Tea saw him coming back from his endless expressional face of thoughts.
"There's no need to ask something like that, Tea," he told her.
"Thank you," then she sat down next to him.
"I've been thinking, Tea. What if I did stay here with you?"
"Yami, no, you need to stop this now."
He looked at her surprised. "Stop what?"
It pained Tea so much to say what she needed to tell him.
'Go on, Tea. I have faith in you. I know you have the will to tell him the truth,' she heard Anzu say to her from her mind again.
'But what if he says no? What if I'm not ready?'
'You are ready, Tea. Just look inside yourself and you will find the strength needed to let your feelings out.'
'Okay...I'll try.'
"Yami...it's time that we set things right."
"What do you mean?"
"I think it would be best for everyone, including you and me, that I stay here and you go back to Egypt with Anzu."
"No, no, NO!" he said while quickly getting up from his chair. "I am not leaving you here behind, Tea. Either I stay here with you or you come back to Egypt with me."
Tea was trying her hardest not to cry. "Yami, you know I can't do that. I can't go back to Egypt with you. It wouldn't be right. Just as it wasn't right that you came here in the first place."
"I can't go back there without you, Tea. Don't you understand that?"
"Yes, I understand that, but if you don't go back to ancient Egypt with Anzu within the next 15 minutes the Yami from my will be forced to go back there with her and then neither of us will ever see them again. Now do you really want that? Do you really want to give up Anzu, being pharaoh of Egypt, and all of your friends just because of me?"
"I...don't know...I guess I never really thought about it before."
FLASHBACK ~ (A.N. Now, obviously I'm making up these flashbacks so it should be pretty interesting.)
~~~ "Anzu, where are you taking me?"
"It's a surprise, Yami."
"Why does everything with you have to be a surprise?"
She smiled at him. "Just think of it this way, Yami. We have a very mysterious and special friendship between each other because I always keep you guessing. Now, come on. We're going to be late if we don't hurry."
~~~ "Yugi, you can't hide from Anzu forever."
"Yes I can," Yami heard Yugi saying from under his bed.
"Get out from under there, Yugi. There's no point in staying under there. She would eventually find you anyway."
"I just made myself look like an complete idiot in front of Anzu. Now she's never going to like me for than a friend and I'm going to be miserable for the rest of my life."
"Oh, Yugi! Don't act so pathetic. Things could have been a lot worse."
"How could things have been worse?"
"Well, you could have spilled something are her instead of yourself."
"Oh, Ra! I hate my life!"
Yami just rolled his eyes in amusement.
~~~ "See Yami, the way I figure it there are five of us guys in the palace, right?"
"Jou, there are more than just five of us in the palace. There's the guards, and the slaves, and the-."
"He means of the five of us guys being friends," Honda explained.
Jou continued. "Anyway, there are five of us guys and we have three friends that are girls. So I was thinkin'-."
"Well, that's always a surprise," Honda said then laughed.
Jou growled. "That's enough out of ya, Honda."
"Yeah, all right."
"So I was thinkin' since there are five of us guys and three girls that each girl is bound to be in love with one of us."
"Oh please, Jou! You're just saying that because we know you want Mai to like you," Honda told him.
"That's enough out of ya, Honda! If I hear ya say one more negative thing from yur mouth I personally goin' to make sure ya never use it again!"
Yami was just watching friends. Keeping in the laughter he had build up inside.
~~~ "Come on, Yami. It is so obvious that you like Anzu as more than a friend," Mai was telling him.
Yami raised an eyebrow at her. "What makes you say that?"
"It's been obvious ever since we all found out that Yugi had a thing for Anzu," Shizuka added.
"Well...all expect for Anzu that is. She's the only one that doesn't know," Mai told her best friend.
"Mai, if Anzu knew that Yugi liked her then something would have happened by now."
"You seriously think I haven't figured that out yet, Shizuka?"
"I was just saying..."
Yami rolled his eyes and walked away. "Girls..."
FLASHBACK ENDS ~
"I guess I would eventually miss all of my friends, Tea. I never really thought about it before."
"Because you never had to before, Yami."
"You're right."
"So do you know what needs to be done now?"
"I do...but what about you?"
"What about me?"
"Aren't you going to miss me if I leave?"
"Yami, how could you ask me something like that? Of course I would you. I have been through so much with you and you mean so much to me. I could never forget you."
"Neither could I."
"Just as I see you in the Yami from my time-."
"I'll see you in Anzu. Always."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Then I guess this means goodbye..."
"...again," they both said at the same time and then laughed.
"Now have you made your decision?" Ishizu asked them.
"We have," Tea answered her.
"And what is your final decision, Tea?" Shadi asked.
"I have decided to stay with Tea," Yami answered.
"And I've decided to go back with Anzu," P. Yami answered also.
"You may say your good-byes, but then I must send you two back, my pharaoh," Shadi told P. Yami.
"I understand. This hopefully won't take long."
~*~ That's it for chapter thirteen. Didn't you like all the flashbacks I made for P. Yami? I thought the one with Yugi and P. Yami was so funny. Don't you think so? Anyway, thanks for reading the chapter. And remember...
