Chapter 4 Recovering Or Forgetting

The following morning, Yugi could remember everything that happen last night. Could everything Yami say be true? Will Tea recover in time? "Hey Yugi." said Joey walking in. Yugi was still in his room and did not even notice Joey coming in.

"Oh hi Joey." said Yugi noticing Joey.

"What's up? You don't even seem yourself anymore." said Joey leaning against the desk.

"Nothing. Just worried about Tea. You should of heard what she told me yesterday." said Yugi grabbing his shoes.

"What did she say?" asked Joey.

"To leave her alone and not bother her." said Yugi finish tying his shoes.

"That is not like her." said Joey.

"I know, but what else could I do. Make her mad at me?" asked Yugi grabbing his Millenium Puzzel

"No. You don't want to lose her friendship." said Joey walking over to the door.

Yugi knodded his head and headed out of his room and down the stairs with Joey. Downstairs was a surprising moment. Tea and Tristan were both waiting for them. "We were about to leave without you." said Tristan.

"Sorry. I did not even notice you guys were here." said Yugi. He walked over to where his grandfather and told him that he was leaving. Outside the sun was warm, but the smell of rain was still in the air meaning that the storm just finished.

"We are all heading to the Hang-Out. I was wondering if you want to duel." said Joey walking down the rode.

"I am not sure." said Yugi thinking about it, but still looking at Tea.

"Oh come on Yugi. Forget about Tea. She will come to her sences." said Joey knobbing Yugi into the side.

"All right. One game and that is all." said Yugi rubbing his side and looking towards Joey.

Yugi followed Joey towards the Hang-Out. He kept looking back at Tea every chance he got. She was walking silent near Mai and Serenity. Something seem to be bothering her, but there was not much he could do.

Arriving at the Hang-Out, Yugi and Joey went to the table and started setting up their game. Just as Tea was walking away, everyone noticed Mokuba and Kaiba walking in, but instead being alone, everyone noticed that someone else was coming also. "Meet the newest person. Mokuba just met him today and he wanted to me you and Tea, Yugi." said Kaiba walking over to were Yugi and Joey were.

"Who is he? I have never seen him before." said Joey looking towards the new person.

"His name is Merka. Moved from Egypt." said Kaiba

"Is there a main reason he wants to see me and Tea?" asked Yugi

"He did not say." said Kaiba.

Yugi, Kaiba, Mokuba and Joey both turned towards Merka. He was walking towards Tea who was once again sitting on the ground facing outwards reading. "Hello. Are you Tea?" asked Merka bending down by Tea.

"I am. Why do you ask?" asked Tea continuing to look down at her book and not up toward Merka.

"Just wondering. However, I did heard that you were release from the hospital just 4 days ago." said Merka turning around and starting to walk away.

Tea layed down her book and turned towards Merka. "I was. Why would that matter to you?" asked Tea looking down at the ground.

"My father was killed and just like you, I have been having a heard time recovering from the person who did it." said Merka turning around back towards Tea.

"Oh, I see." said Tea looking down at the ground. She did not know if she should tell Merka the reason she was scared.

"Are you having the same problem as me? I mean recovering from the person who did it to you." asked Merka sitting on the ground near Tea.

"No. I am doing just find." said Tea.

"Oh. If you need any help, I will gladly give you some comfort." said Merka walking off.

Yugi and Kaiba kept on watching Merka. Something did not see right. Why would he want to talk to Tea about what happen to her about a week ago? It did not effect him as it effected her so what was the difference. Yugi did not know what to think. "Oh well. It looks like Tea does not want to talk to him either." said Kaiba turning around and leaving with Mokuba.

Yugi watched Kaiba leave and then turned back to his game, however, as the game started he could not stop thinking about Merka. He was on his mind and Yugi did not know why.

After 3 turns of laying cards down and taking turns, Yugi decided to pause the game and start another day. He grabbed his cards together and then moved over to Tea. There he sat down beside her. She did not even say a word or look towards him. Instead, she closed her book, stood up, and started walking away. Yugi stood up quickly and ran after her. "What's wrong. You told Yami that I could talk to you, but you are ignoring me also." said Yugi stopping in front of her.

"No. I decided to just forget about you also or anyone else to be exact. I might recover faster or even getting over my fear. I am sorry Yugi" said Tea turning away and running.

Yugi stood there speachlish watching her run down the road. He did not know that the trouble Marik caused would effect his friend this way. What could he do? Demand that she talks to him. That would make it worse. He was just going to have to wait and hope that she can recover over this incident and hope it will not effect her too hard. However, Yugi did know one thing. He had to get Marik back for what he did.
