I don't own Yugioh!
(A/N: the plot thickens so stay with me here^^)
Téa was scared. The presence of someone watching her was not her imagination. Someone has been following her. No, it couldn't be them. Ai captured them.
-Flashback-
"No where to run, no where to hide. You boys are dead meat," said the calm Ai as she advances towards the three figures.
"A girl can't beat us!" shouted what seemed to be the leader.
"No, but a girl with black belt karate and has won nationals could," smirked Ai as she got into position to attack. A furious fight broke out. But Ai was winning without even breaking a sweat. The three were knocked unconscious after what seemed to be 1 minuet. Ai dialled 911 on her hand phone. She looked at Téa and smiled.
-End of Flashback-
Téa tried to think harder. What happened next? She asked herself. She doesn't remember much. The pain still stung her as each scene was brought back. She was abused. She personally was disfigured on the inside. This has happened before. When her step dad abused her. She felt horrible as if she was a monster, on the inside of course. But she knew everyone in this world only cared for your face. The inside of Téa was ruined forever. But to the people around her, they don't care do they?
"It wasn't them," said Téa calmly as she sat back down.
"Wasn't who?" a pair of amethyst eyes locked on to Téa's sapphire eyes.
"Wasn't them," Téa gave a soft reply.
Yugi didn't know what to say. He just looked at her. He knew she was hurt more on the inside than the outside. He could see she hated how she looked, on the inside. The incident had brought the old event to the surface again. He was worried for her. He wanted her to know that she was beautiful inside and out. No matter what happened in the past. She was pure and always will be. But he will never tell her that.
"Scared to confess?" said Yami
"No,"
"Your confused. You thought you had feelings for Serenity but," Yami didn't finish. He himself was too scared to admit. But Yugi didn't know his feelings either. It was a secret, which he planed to never reveal.
"I thought my crush for Téa ended when Serenity asked me out. But it seems like I never did forget her. I feel bad for lying to Serenity but," Yugi stared at his hands.
"I know how you feel," said Yami.
"Looks like this is going to be interesting," laughed Ai as she waved a piece of paper at Téa's face.
"Class trip to study nature. Location: Holmes Bay, Date: 10th of February. Students will be separated into groups of 5. Students will pick the groups themselves," read Téa out loud.
"So, who's going to be in the group of 5?" asked Yugi a little nervous. He knew whom he wanted to be with. But, does she know?
"Good afternoon students. I suppose you all got the papers that Midori handed out. Now you get to pick your groups," said the teacher as she prepared herself with a paper and a pen. But no one spoke up.
"Okay, fine. I'll assign groups,"
Everyone in the class protested except Ai. She just smiled in amusement.
"First group...." The teacher took forever to make the groups. Dealing with the screams and shouts when group after group was made. Yugi thought this would never end. But he secretly crossed his fingers.
"Fourth group will consists of Yugi, Ryou, Téa, Ai, and Seto,"
Yugi's heart lurched at the mentioning of Téa's name. But also felt disappointed that none of his other friends were picked. He looked at Ryou who waved back at him with a smile. He looked at Ai who just stared back. Yugi shivered. Then he looked at Seto to see what funny reaction he had. Seto, as usual, was blank faced.
"This is sure going to be an interesting outing," said Yugi.

Téa got on the bus. The others were talking about duel monsters. She didn't want to listen so she decided to go and wait for them on the bus. She looked out the window. Pictures of the incident flashed up. She squirmed as the images came to her mind. But somehow she seems to get over the pain. Maybe it was because she felt it was time to let go of the past. And face the feelings she had.
"I can sit here right?" asked a voice.
"Yeah sure," said Téa not bothering to look who.
Téa hadn't realized but the bus was moving. She suddenly remembered where she was. She looked up to search for her friends when someone caught her eyes.
"Seto!" said Téa surprised.
"I asked you if I could sit here and you said yes," said Seto coldly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way," said Téa apologizing.
"Apology taken," said Seto in a monotone.
"So.. why did you sit here?" asked Téa blushing a little.
"There was no other place to sit,"
"Oh," Téa thought Yugi would sit beside her. But she looked and saw him sitting with Joey and Tristan. Guys... Smiled Téa.
The bus ride for Téa was completely boring. All she did was look out the window and sleep for a couple of hours. Seto didn't bother to talk. He just slept peacefully with his arms crossed and his face blank. Téa wondered if he was dreaming and what he was dreaming. But she didn't realize how close her face was to his.
"Is there something on my face?" said Seto without opening his eyes.
Téa backed down to her seat, nervous.
"No," she finally said after her blushing had cooled down.
"Then what?"
"I was just wondering," Téa knew this was a stupid thing to ask but she was curious. "I was just wondering if you were dreaming. I mean you are always so serious and busy that maybe the only time you get to relax is when you sleep,"
"That was a stupid question," said Seto not bothered to answer.
"I know," said Téa quietly and looked out the window. A line of blue appeared. They were there. Holmes Bay.
"Curiosity killed the cat," said Ai looking outside staring at a black car that had been following the bus.
Téa was scared. The presence of someone watching her was not her imagination. Someone has been following her. No, it couldn't be them. Ai captured them.
