Chapter 8 A Regret Forgotten
Yugi awoke the following morning with a gental breeze blowing through the window. As he sat up, he noticed Yami standing once more near the window. His face showed so many feelings such as anger, sad, and even confusion. Yugi knew it had to be about Téa . What happen that day was so unexpected. How could she turn on her friends when her friends are the ones who could help her out the most. "You okay Yami?" asked Yugi sitting up
'What...oh. Yes. I am just worried. Do you think she will ever be back to normal?' asked Yami looking down at the ground
"I actually don't know." said Yugi looking down at the ground
Yugi trully did not know. It could take months for Téa to return back to normal. She felt so scared and even more after Marik's attempt of getting to Yugi. As he sat there, he noticed Yami's expression upon his face. He looked so down so worried as if he could not believe Téa .
"I am heading to the Hang-Out. Maybe she will be okay there." said Yugi starting to get dress.
'Go ahead. I will be in the puzzle.' said Yami showing a tear running down his face and then disappearing.
Yugi felt a little mad about how Téa had effected Yami. If this was going to happen, why did he bring Téa to know him? Yugi shook his head. 'No, I can not blame Téa for what happen. It was Marik not her for this problems.' thought Yugi pulling his shoes on
After getting dress, Yugi headed downstairs to see Joey waiting. "Decided to walk with you. Notice any changes about Téa . She even seems more distant than normal." said Joey closing the door behind him.
"I have noticed, but don't worry about it. She will come to her sences." said Yugi starting to walk down the street.
Both Yugi and Joey arrived at the Hang-Out about ten minutes later. Mai was there with Tristan and Serenity. She was trying to keep Tristan away from Serenity, but it was not actually working that well. As soon as Joey noticed that, he ran over to help. Yugi, however was looking around and found what he was looking for. She was once again leaning against the wall. Yugi knew he should ignore her, but what else could he do. Yami was going crazy without her talking to him and he did not want to see anymore of his friends hurt.
~*~
trouble brings us away
just forgetting was hard enough
it is what i have done to you
i should of regret it
but how can i when i know the pain is mine
~*~
After about ten minutes of just sitting there doing nothing, he knew he had to do something, but before he could, Joey came running over. "Yugi, lets play one game of Duel Monsters. Maybe that will get something off your mind on whatever your thinking about." said Joey moving his hand in front of Yugi to get his mind off something.
"What...oh. Yes. I guess one game would not do bad." said Yugi pulling out his deck and sitting down. He kept glancing at Téa wondering if she would ever be the same again.
"Ready?" asked Joey after drawing his five cards.
"Ya. I guess I will start. I lay one card face down and one card in defence modem." said Yugi calmly.
"Okay. I play my Alligator Swords Man in attack mode and attack your defence card. Yugi are you alright? You don't seem to be yourself." said Joey after playing his card.
"I am fine. Well, maybe not, but it is okay. I guess I will play another card in defence mode." said Yugi laying his card face down.
The duel went like this for about thirty minutes. Serenity and Mai were watching them while Tristan was trying to impress Serenity. During a few times, Joey layed his cards down and went to tackle Tristan. Everyone laughed, except Yugi. He seemed mad instead of sad. 'I give up on trying to help her. If she does not want my help, why do i give it to her.' thought Yugi as Joey just sat down.
~*~
friendship kepts us going
but when someone is hurt by the pain created
it seems impossible to forget
i should of regret it
but how can i when i know the pain is mine
~*~
"Ready to continue." asked Joey exhausted from fighting Tristan.
"Yes and I play this. Magical Hats to conceal my Dark Magician Girl." said Yugi laying one card down.
"Not again." said Joey
"Sorry. Now you are going to have to hunt for my Dark Magician Girl, but don't think it is that easy for I play this card within one of the Magical Hats." said Yugi laying another card down to finish his turn. There life points were equal and time was running out for darkness was starting to creep upon them.
"I guess I will take a shot at it. Red Eyes fire at the right hand side." said Joey pointing to the right hand side hat.
"I guess you were lucky tonight, but wait. You forgot the card I played face down." said Yugi pointing the card face down
"What is it?" asked Joey looking confused.
"It's my Magical Cylinder card. My magician has been planning a counter attack this whole time so to tell you this, but I have won." said Yugi flipping over the card.
"Good game, Yugi. I was not expecting that move." said Joey sitting back.
"Yes, It was a good game and since it is getting late, I think we should all head home." said Mai who has been watching the duel the whole time.
"Ya, that is a good idea. See you tomorrow Yugi." said Joey helping Serenity up and leaving. Mai and Tristan followed leaving Yugi alone with Téa to pick up his cards.
Over against the wall, Téa is still looking away, but soon she noticed Yugi still standing around. Looking away, she decides that her fear can not control her anymore. Her friends were always there and she turned on them. Now she knew she had to get over it and head over to talk to him.
Yugi noticed her moving towards him, but knew since she was running away scared, there was no reason to talk about it anymore.
~*~
you were there for me when i had that fear
i walked away in your shadows to recover
but now i want your help
but when i turn to you
you decide to turn away
and leave me in the dark
~*~*
"Yugi, I was wondering if we could talk about everything?" asked Téa walking over to Yugi.
"Why should we? You wished to be let out so that is what I am doing. You crushed both of us and now we will try to go on." said Yugi turning away and walking away. Téa dropped to her knees and started crying. The time she needed help the most is when her friend walks away and leaves her in the dark.
'I don't know if that was correct.' said Yami
"She should of trusted us. Friendship needs trust not fears." said Yugi blocking Yami away from his mind and running.
~*~
now i know
i regret what i have done
you were there and now your gone
what will i do
how will i live
~*~
Yugi arrived back home and went straight to bed. Yami stood over beside the window once more, but did not say a word. When Yugi was already asleep, he went back into the puzzle. He had a single tear running down his face and felt hurt for not helping Téa.
The following morning, Joey was once again waiting downstairs. Yugi, however, was still asleep until he was screemed into the ear by Yami. "What?" asked Yugi rolling over and looking towards Yami.
'Joey is waiting downstairs. He probably wants to go to the Hang-Out with you and play another game of Duel Monsters.' said Yami turning away from Yugi and disappearing back into the puzzle.
Yugi looked towards the puzzle that was laying on the table and knew exactly why Yami was looking disappointed or down. It was because of last night when Yugi talked to Téa. After a few minutes of just sitting on his bed, he heard someone walking down the hallway towards his room. "I was wondering if you were up." said Joey opening the door and picking in.
"I just woke up. Let me get dress real fast and I will meet you downstairs." said Yugi standing up. Joey knodded his head and closed the door behind him.
Yugi quickly got dressed and met Joey downstairs. He told his grandfather by and headed outside. Both started walking down the street, but when they came to the corner that headed towards the Hang-Out, Yugi knew exactly where he was at. A couple houses down the road was Téa's house. Yugi has not seen or talk to her since last night and certainly doesn't want to. At least, not yet.
Coming up to her house, he noticed her sitting by the window. She looked so sad for what happen. Yugi just tried to ignore her and continued walking with Joey to the Hang-Out.
~*~
i see you walking away as i sit there
i hoped you would help
but you denied and left
how could i have let this go so far
~*~
Arriving at the Hang-Out, Yugi sat down quickly to avoid contact with anyone. He felt some type of guilt, but was not sure why. "I noticed Téa was not being herself yesterday when I went to her place. What did you two talk about?" asked Serenity a couple of minutes later.
"She wanted to talk to me about being scared of me. I am sorry that she feels that way, but what could I do. It just happens that Marik is after me that she becomes scared of me. After all these times. After everything we have been through.." said Yugi looking a little angry
"It is not your fault. Fears can come in different ways, but truly at the end, they make friendship stand so much stronger." said Serenity standing up and walking away.
'She right. If I have talked with her, she would probably be here having fun and not sitting at her house.' said Yami.
"As if your idea would have worked. She is accusing you of everything." said Yugi
'I am not saying that what she is feeling cause of me is correct. I do know that her friendship is what makes her stay around us. Turn around and look.' said Yami disappearing from Yugi's mind.
Yugi turned around and noticed what Yami was talking about. Téa just appeared at the Hang-Out. She seemed nervous and tried her best to avoid Yugi who was sitting near everyone.
~*~
it is what i remember
it is what i regret
it was you that brought me together
it was you that cause the fear i have
now i want you to help
you show me correctly
by just turning
it was my fault
now what should i do
~*~
Téa stopped by Serenity and then both left for a few second. Yugi noticed that they were talking in private about something. After a few minutes, though, Serenity came walking over to Yugi. "She has asked to meet you behind the building and she will not except no as an answer. She wants to ask you something." said Serenity walking way.
"Should I go?" thought Yugi. He did not want to talk about the fear again. She would need to get over it herself and by herself.
'I would. It might help her get over the fear she has.' said Yami.
"Are you sure?" asked Yugi
'Yes. Go. You might actually be the one thing she needs to get over the fear.' said Yami disappearing again
Yugi decided to go and headed over towards the building that Tea was standing near. She was leaning against the wall looking away from everyone, but when she noticed Yugi she jumped and turned towards him. "Serenity said you wanted to talk with me." said Yugi calmly.
"Not you. Yami. I want to speak with him." said Tea sitting down on the ground
"I don't know if talking to him will be a good idea." said Yugi bending down
"I need to. My fears were created by him. If I speak to him, they might go away." said Tea looking down at the ground.
"Not exactly for Marik is still out there. Tea, stand up and listen." said Yugi helping her up.
"What?" asked Tea standing up with the help of Yugi
"Marik does these things to get to me. If he finds out that you have a fear created from him about me, he will use you to get to me and I don't think you want that. I know it seems hard to realize that Yami is the one that might have started all of this cause if you did not know him, you might not have got in the way of Marik and us, but it friendship that did it not him. He never realized how much you cared on certain times. That was the reason he stayed around and helped out everyone. Now if you show the fear so much, he will not know what to do. You could put him in risk. Tea, if you show courage to Yami, it will help you ease your fear. If you show that Yami is not the reason you are afraid, you might get rid of your fear." said Yugi walking back and forth and then leaving.
"Are you sure?" asked Tea quickly.
"Positive." said Yugi calmly and then disappearing around the building.
'I could of not said it better.' said Yami calmly and then disappearing again. Yugi smiled as he heard what Yami said. Maybe this helped. Maybe Tea will be back to normal. All Yugi and Yami could do was hope.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JasmineUnicorn: there you are a song with in my chapter. hope it did not give you tears. maybe that speech of Yugi's will help Tea out, but what about Marik. When will this plan of his come out. Stay tune till next time and you will see.
Yami: not bad. different, but pretty good. it looks like yugi got through to her.
Seto: it does. well, i guess we will have to wait till next time
Yami: what...oh no we aren't...continue now or i will go crazy.
JasmineUnicorn: you can never stay calm for one of my chapter. see you all later.
Yami: this is going to be different
Seto: exactly, but i bet you it will be good
JasmineUnicorn: here it is chapter 8

"I don't know if talking to him will be a good idea." said Yugi bending down
"I need to. My fears were created by him. If I speak to him, they might go away." said Tea looking down at the ground.
"Not exactly for Marik is still out there. Tea, stand up and listen." said Yugi helping her up.
"What?" asked Tea standing up with the help of Yugi
"Marik does these things to get to me. If he finds out that you have a fear created from him about me, he will use you to get to me and I don't think you want that.
