Chapter 2 Worry With Time
A gental breeze was blowing through an open window. A young boy was sound asleep as the morning passed by. It was when a loud pounding from the door awoke him. "Yugi, it is time to get up. You have chores to do." said Yugi's grandfather.
"I know. I know." said Yugi stretching as he rolled over to the edge of the bed.
"Well, you better hurry up if you want to go out today." said Yugi's grandfather leaving and walking down the stairs.
Yugi shook his head and started to stand up when he noticed something. Standing in a corner near the open window was a ghostly looking figure. This person looked exactly like Yugi except much older. "Are you okay?" asked Yugi
'What? Oh, yes. I am fine. Just worried.' said the figure turning away and then disappearing.
Yugi looked a little confused unsure what Yami could be worried about. Marik has not tried anything since their last incounter. Yugi layed back down on his bed. The last incounter was like a dagger to the heart. He could remember it as if it just happen yesterday, but it didn't. It happened about a week ago. Yugi and his friends, Joey Wheeler, Tea Gardener, and Tristan Taylor, were just returning home from the Hang-Out when it all happen.
Flashback
"See you guys tomorrow." said Joey walking away with Tristan
"Ya bye Tristan. Bye Joey. See tomorrow at the Hangout." said Yugi waving good-bye.
"Whoa. Today does seem long and hot. I think I am going to lay down when I get home." said Tea as she continued to walk home with Yugi.
"Sounds like a good idea, but I have chores to do. If you remember correctly, I begged my grandfather to let me go since the morning was cool." said Yugi
Tea knodded her head and both continued on there way. About 30 minutes later, Yugi and Tea came to a rode that parted in two direction. "Well, this is my stop. See ya tomorrow." said Tea waving good-bye as she took the right side.
Yugi watched her and then continued on his way. Almost half-way down the road, he heard a loud screem. It sounded like Tea, but that could not be her. Yugi quickly turned around and ran down the road towards the sound where the screem came from.
When Yugi arrived, he saw three people dressed in the Rare Hunter robes. He also noticed that near the ground was a young girl. It was Tea. She was unconscience and looked like she was hurt badly.
"It is the Pharoah. Get him." said one of the Rare Hunters
Yugi picked up a stick and started to swing it around. He hit one of the Rare Hunters, but after that Yugi was hit across the head. He went down hard and unconscience.
Seconds went by, but soon Yugi was being shooked and a voice was coming through. "Yugi, wake up. Yugi." said a voice.
"Joey." said Yugi barely
"He is okay. What about Tea?" said Joey standing up.
"Tea does not look so good. We need to get her to the hospital." said Mai who looked over at Tristan who was just walking back and went to Tea
"What happen?" asked Yugi looking around.
"Mai heard someone screem. Tristan and I also heard the same voice. It just happen that Mai came across us." said Joey.
"We made it just in time." said Tristan bending down by Tea.
"Those Rare Hunters were about to get your Millenium Puzzle. It was Tristan that protected Tea and I who got the Rare Hunters away from you." said Joey reaching out a hand to help Yugi up.
"Is she okay?" asked Yugi looking towards Tea. She was still unconscience.
"Not really. She was beaten bad. We need to get her to the hospital." said Mai. Tristan stood up with Tea in his arms. He went to Mai's car and layed her in the back of it. Joey joined Mai up in front and Yugi joined Tristan in the back. After everyone was in, Mai drove towards the hospital.
End flashback
Just three days ago, Tea was released, but mainly now she was scared. Yugi thought that Yami was worried about her. He knew that his alter ego had feelings for her, but just could not admit it. Yami was not completely sure if he could love again for being dead for over 5000 years.
Yugi sat back up and looked out the window. He seemed worried also now. Could it be that both Yugi and Yami were worried about their friends and what could happen if Marik got a hold of them? Yugi was hoping that nothing will happen to his friends. He would not know what to do if something did happen.
"Yugi Muto, are you going to come down here and do your chores or not?" yelled Yugi's grandfather from downstairs.
Yugi ran towards the door and peaked around. "Yes. Just give me one minute to get dress." yelled Yugi. He turned around quickly and went straight through his drawers.
Yami appeared again just as a sock was being thrown out. He ducked quickly, but was hit by a shoe for Yugi was now going through his closet looking for his other shoe. 'Ouch. Why are you in a hurrry?' asked Yami rubbing his head.
"My grandfather is yelling for me to get my chores done." said Yugi looking behind and jumping over Yami to grab his shoe.
'Okay.' said Yami disappearing again. Yugi shook his head. He was not going to worry about this now. He had to get downstairs. Grabbing the Millenium Puzzel, Yugi ran out of his room and ran down the stairs.
"Start on the dishes. After that I might have one more thing for you. What took you so long?" asked Yugi's grandfather who was going through some boxes.
"I was just remembering something. That was all." said Yugi walking over to the sink and starting on the dishes.
"Probably about Tea and how she is doing. I am sorry what happen about a week ago, but you need to get over it. She is okay." said Yugi's grandfather. He picked up the box and left into the Game Shop.
'I wish I could. Marik got close to one of my friends. He nearly killed Tea. I will never forget that.' thought Yugi.
It took about one hour for Yugi to do the dishes, but soon he was done. As he was putting the last dish away, the phone started to ring. He drained the water, put the towel away, and ran straight towards the phone. "Hello. Muto residents. This is Yugi." said Yugi.
"Hey Yugi. Are you coming to the Hang-Out today." asked the voice.
"Oh hi Joey. After I get my chores I am. Why?" asked Yugi
"Just wondering. Tea is going to be there also. We will being missing only you if you do not show up." said Joey.
"I will hurry up then. Bye Joey." said Yugi hanging up the phone. He quickly turned around and headed out towards the Game Shop. "Grandpa, I am done with the dishes. I am leaving towards the Hang-Out." said Yugi
"Okay. See you tonight." said Yugi's grandfather.
As Yugi stepped outside, another memory was going through his head. It was Tea again. He was still worried about her. He remembered the time when his friend arrived at the hospital.
Flashback
"Hold on Tea. We are almost there." said Yugi running beside Tristan as he carried Tea inside.
Arriving inside the hospital, Yugi ran up to the front desk. "We have an emergency. My friend is hurt really bad." said Yugi looking back at Tea
"Okay. The name of the patient?" asked the nurse
"Tea Gardener." said Yugi
"Okay, bring her with me." said the nurse moving around the desk and opening another door open.
Yugi, Mai, and Joey followed Tristan into another room.
"Lay her there. I will get the doctor, but for now I need you all to wait in the waiting room." said the nurse pointing to the bed and then leaving
Everyone followed the nurse to the waiting room. Mai sat down in one of the chairs. She kept looking towards the direction the nurse left. Yugi started to pace up and down the room, however it was not Yugi. Instead it was Yami. He felt guilty not being there. Joey and Tristan kept looking from each other to Yugi. Both seemed worried. After about ten minutes, a three visitors came. One person everyone knew really well. The other two unexpected for nobody thought they would show up. "Serenity, why are you here.?" asked Joey.
"Heard about Tea's attack. How is she?" asked Serenity walking over to Mai.
"Not good. We just arrived. We are waiting for what the doctor has to say." said Mai
"Who did this to her?" asked Mokuba Kaiba
"A Rare Hunter." said Yugi. He turned towards the wall and hit with his fist. A single tear was running down his face. Everyone knew why.
"Not another one of those that you told me about?" asked Seto Kaiba.
"The same. This time instead of getting to me, they got to Tea and hurt her pretty bad." said Yugi
Kaiba shook his head and sat in a chair. Mokuba looked down at the ground. He felt bad for everyone. The rest of the time everyone was quiet. Yami kept pacing up and down. Kaiba kept looking at Yami with bad remarks. Mokuba kept falling asleep and then awaking. The time was getting late and that was the reason he was tired. Joey and Tristan were still watching Yugi. Everything seemed to be taking forever.
Endflashback
'I never knew how upset everyone was. Everyone was upset about Tea.' thought Yugi as he continued walking towards the hangout.
Arriving at the Hang-Out, Yugi noticed that Tristan was trying to impress Serenity and Joey was talking with Mai. The only person he could not see was Tea. "Hey Yugi. I see you made it." said Joey turning around and noticing Yugi.
"Ya, I did. Sorry it took me so long. Where is Tea?" asked Yugi still looking around
"Oh, she is sitting in the shade under the tree, but there is a small problem." said Joey walking over to Yugi.
"What?" asked Yugi looking towards the tree. He could see Tea now. She was facing the other way and it looked like she was reading a book.
"Ever since the incounter, she has not been herself. She won't even speak to us about Duel Monsters. I am worried." said Joey
Yugi turned from Tea towards Joey. He noticed that the expression on Joey's face was true. He was worried about her. Yugi could remember why and the memory of the hospital was coming back.
Flashback
Another hour went by as Yami, Joey, Tristan, Kaiba, Mokuba, and Mai all waited in the waiting room. As Yami was growing impatient, the nurse that helped them came out. Yami quickly ran over to her wondering what was going on. "How is she? Can we see her?" asked Yami
"You can see here in a minute. Also, Tea Gardner is doing just fine. She broke her wrist and has a lot of bruises, but nothing major. The only part that might surprise you is that she is in a panic state. Now, if you will follow me, I will allow one at a time to see her." said the nurse
Yami looked around and then followed the nurse down the hall. Arriving at the room, the nurse left to another area. Yami looked toward the door and pushed it gentally open. Tea was asleep and looked like she was in less pain. Her shades were down making it a very light dark blue in the room. As he closed the door, he heard someone move around and noticed it was Tea. "I did not hear you come in." said Tea gentally sitting up.
Yami noticed the cast around her wrist, the banadges around her arms and across her face. "I did not know if you were awake or not. How are you doing?" asked Yami walking over to her. He could not bear to see her in this state.
"I am doing fine, but very scared." said Tea turning away and looking down at the ground.
"I can understand that. Yugi told me everything when we were in the waiting room. I am so sorry." said Yami sitting down and looking down at the ground.
"No please don't feel guilty. This was not your fault. How would you know that the Rare Hunters were after me." said Tea turning towards him and placing her hand on his.
"Marik will pay for what he did to you. I promise you that." said Yami placing his other hand on Tea's.
Tea smiled and leaned towards him placing a delecate kiss on his cheek. "Thank you, but please I don't want to see anyone else hurt." said Tea.
Yami decided to leave and let Tea rest. The rest of the group went in to see her and then came back. Everyone felt sorry for her, everyone except Yami. He felt angry and worried for her safty, but more he felt as if he had grown a strong feeling for her than he has ever felt.
End flashback
"Hey Yugi. You okay?" asked Joey waking his hand in front of his face
"What? Oh ya. I am okay." said Yugi turning towards Joey and jumping
"Okay." said Joey heading away and sitting down.
'I promise you, Tea. Yami and I will not allow Marik to get away with this.' thought Yugi clinching his fist.
