Tea, Kaiba, Joey, Tristan, Yami Bakura, and Grandpa were all sitting in the waiting room of the Domino City Hospital. Tea was softly crying with Kaiba holding her close to him, Yugi sat in a chair trying to hold back his tears, Joey and Tristan were pacing back and forth waiting for a doctor to come in to tell them about Yami, Yami Bakura was also pacing back and forth waiting, and Grandpa was sitting in a chair trying to comfort Yugi. "Where is that doctor?" Yami Bakura asked impatiently. "Calm down Bakura." Yugi's Grandpa said. Bakura shot him a hateful glance. All of the sudden the hospital doors opened. The gang looked over and saw Malik walk into the waiting room. "What's going on here Bakura? What was so urgent you had to call me to the hospital?" He asked. "Yami's been shot." Yami Bakura said. "What!!!!?????" Malik asked. "But, Yami's my dueling partner in tomorrow's tournament." Malik said. "Not only is he your dueling partner." Yami Bakura said. "He's your friend too." Malik nodded. "Whoever shot him will pay." Malik said with an evil smirk on his face. "Yeah." Joey agreed. "I wish I could have five minutes in a room with that guy." Joey said. "Not only for shooting Yami, but for what he did to Tea." He added. "What did he do to Tea?" Malik asked. "Tea was abused by her father ever since her mother died when she was little." Kaiba answered him. Malik looked even angrier. "Where is this guy??????!!!!!!!!" He yelled. "We don't know right now." Kaiba said, still holding Tea close to him. Right then a doctor came into the room. Joey, Tristan, Malik, and Yami Bakura rushed over to him. "Is Yami okay?" Joey asked. The doctor took a step backwards. "Yes, he's eating right now. We did surgery to remove the bullet and thankfully it missed his left lung. You all can go see him now." He said as he walked back through the way he came. They all followed the doctor to Yami's room. When they walked in they saw Yami sitting up with a remote in his hand flipping through channels on the television. "Is there just nothing good on T.V anymore?" He muttered to himself, completely oblivious to the fact that he had visitors. "Yami, you're okay!" Tea exclaimed. Yami looked over at the gang startled. "Hey you guys!" He exclaimed. The group walked over to his bed. "I thought the doctor said that you were eating." Joey commented, eyeing Yami's plate of food. "I refuse to eat this food." Yami said with a serious expression on his face. "I'll take it!" Joey exclaimed. "I can't wait to get out of here." Yami sighed. "The food is bad, they don't get good channels on TV, and these hospital pajamas are hideous." He complained. "I don't know Yami." Malik smirked. "The pink, fluffy, bunny pajamas suit you very well." He said. "What did you just say?!" Yami yelled. Malik put up his hands in defense. "Nothing. Anyway, I withdrew us from the contest tomorrow." He informed Yami. Yami nodded. Yami's eyes shifted from Malik to Kaiba. "Yami, thank-you so much for what you did for Tea and I." Kaiba said. "I owe my life to you." He added. Yami put a hand up to silence him. "Kaiba, you don't owe me anything, you've done things for me in the past, and this was just a payback for that." He said. Kaiba smiled warmly at Yami. He then put an arm around Tea's waist and pulled her close to him. Yami smiled at the couple. "Hey, what do you say? How about after Yami gets out of the hospital we all take a nice trip down to the beach and try to take our minds off of this whole situation?" Tristan suggested. Everyone except Malik nodded in agreement. "I'm not going to go if Yami wears a bathing suit that looks like those pajamas." He mocked. Everyone laughed, even Yami.

TEN DAYS LATER

Yami, Kaiba, Joey, Tea, Malik, Yugi, Yami Bakura, and Tristan were all at the beach. Yami Bakura laid a towel down on the hot sand, and then he lay back on the towel. "What are you doing?" Malik questioned him. "I'm trying to get a tan." Yami Bakura said, a hint of annoyance in his voice. Malik smirked. "Is that even possible, albino boy?" He asked. Yami Bakura rolled his eyes. "Go away." He muttered. "Just because you can tan without even trying, doesn't mean that you can make fun of the people that can't." He added. Yami was dragging all of his things over to where Yami Bakura and Malik were arguing. He dropped all of his belongings and they made a loud thud on the ground. Malik eyed him suspiciously. "What all did you bring?" Malik asked. "This isn't just my stuff, it's Yugi's and Joey stuff too." He said. Malik nodded his head. Yami looked down at Yami Bakura who now had his eyes closed. Yami motioned for Malik to come closer. Malik took a couple steps forward. Yami leaned closer to him. "What is he doing?" He asked quietly. "He's trying to tan." Malik said. "Is that possible?" Yami asked. Malik shrugged his shoulders. Just then they heard Tea scream. They both looked over to see that Joey had picked Tea up and was dunking her underwater. They both let out a laugh. Yami turned and saw Kaiba walking towards them. When he got over to the group he eyed Yami Bakura suspiciously. "What is-" He started. Before he could finish his question Yami and Malik spoke up. "Just don't ask." They both said in unison. Kaiba looked at them both. "Oookay." He said. They all heard another yelp from Tea. They all looked over to see Tristan and Joey pouring ice-cold water on Tea's head. They were all laughing and looked like they were having so much fun. Kaiba smiled at this site. Tea looked up and noticed that he was watching all three of them. She shot him a playful smile. He gave a little laugh. Right then Joey picked her up again and then through her into the deep ocean water. "Malik, are you going to swim?" The sound of Yami's voice brought Kaiba back to his senses. "I don't know." Malik answered him. "I might just sit here and try to watch Yami Bakura tan." He smirked. "Ohhh, so that's what he's trying to do." Kaiba said. "I'm sorry to tell you this Bakura, but you might have better luck trying that artificial tanning lotion that women use." He added. Everyone except Yami Bakura started to laugh. Yami Bakura glared at all three of them. Just then Kaiba felt two cold, wet arms wrap around his waist from behind. He turned around and saw Tea looking at him with a playful grin on her face. "You should come into the water with us." She said. Kaiba smiled down at her. "Look at the way I'm dressed." He said. "I can't get into the water." Tea looked Kaiba over. He was wearing a pair of khaki shorts that came down a couple inches past his knees. He was also wearing a white sleeveless shirt with another plaid shirt over it. It showed off his perfectly tanned arms, and his large muscles. "Well then I'll stay up on the beach with you guys." She said. Kaiba shook his head. "No, go ahead and get in the water." He told her. Tea shook her head this time. "No, it's okay. It looks like Joey and Tristan found someone else to torture." She said with a laugh. The whole group looked as Joey and Tristan picked Yugi up. They watched as the two through him into the water. Yugi screamed like a little girl right before he hit the water. This sight made everyone laugh. "That's it." Malik said. "I have to get in. Throwing Yugi into the water sounds like too much fun to pass up." He said. "I'm right behind you." Yami yelled after Malik. They both ran down to the shoreline. Kaiba and Tea watched as Malik pushed Yami into the water. Yami let out a high-pitched scream. "Wow." Kaiba said. "I think Yami screams higher than Yugi does. Tea laughed at this comment. She grabbed his hand and started pulling him to the water. Kaiba hesitated. "Oh, c'mon Kaiba. You don't have to get in, just come down and watch us." She pleaded with him. She gave him her cutest smile. "Now how can I resist that face?" He asked out loud. He gave Tea's hand a little squeeze, and they walked down to the shoreline together. When they got down to the water, Malik, Tristan, and Joey came running over to Tea. They all three picked her up and then through her into the water. When Tea came back up for air, her hair was plastered to her face. She laughed loudly and splashed the guys with water. Kaiba smiled to himself as he watched all of them play in the water. He felt a hand on his shoulder. His back stiffened as he slowly turned around to see who was touching him. He was relieved when he saw that it was only Yami Bakura. "Kaiba, tell me something." He said. "Sure." Kaiba said. "Do I look any darker to you?" Bakura asked. Kaiba looked him over and was surprised to see that he did look unusually dark. "Yeah, you do look darker." He said. Yami Bakura got a pleased look on his face. "Now I can rub it in Malik's face." He said. "What did you do?" Kaiba asked. "I took your advice and got some of that tanning lotion. It really works." He answered. Kaiba nodded his head. "How much did you use?" Kaiba asked. "I used two whole bottles." Bakura answered him. Kaiba's eyes widened. "What?" Bakura questioned him. "Nothing." Kaiba said shaking his head. "Well, thanks Kaiba." Bakura said as he walked off into the water. Kaiba laughed to himself. He watched as Tea and Malik snuck up behind Joey and they both grabbed him and lifted him up out of the water. They both counted to three and then through him into the water. When Joey came up his hair was flat and hanging down in his face. "My beautiful hair." He whined. Malik and Tea gave each other high fives as they laughed at the sight of Joey messing with his hair. Tea made her way out of the water and walked over to where Kaiba was standing. "I wish you would come in with us." Tea said. Tristan followed Tea out of the water. "Come on in Kaiba." He said. "I can't, I didn't bring a change of clothes." Kaiba said. "You can borrow a pair of my shorts." Tristan offered. "We're about the same size." Tristan said looking Kaiba over. Kaiba looked hesitant. "Please Kaiba!" Tea asked. "Well.okay." Kaiba finally gave in. He slipped both of his shirts off and followed both of them into the water. Yami waded his way over to Kaiba. "So you decided to get in?" He asked. "Actually, I think Tea decided for me." He smiled at the sight of Tea playing a game with Joey, Yugi, and Malik. It looked like Tea and Malik were on a team, and Joey and Yugi were on a team, and Tea and Malik were trying to keep Yugi and Joey from getting a beach ball. They were doing a pretty good job until Malik passed her the beach ball and Joey scooped Tea up in his arms and threw her into the water in the opposite direction. This gave Yugi a perfect chance to grab the ball. When Tea came back up she splashed Joey with water. "You Cheated!" She exclaimed. Joey smirked at her. Malik came up and splashed Joey in the face with water. Tea waded her way over to Kaiba and Yami. She took both of Kaiba's hands in hers. "C'mon." She said. Kaiba smirked. "And where are we going?" He asked. Tea pulled him close to her. "We're going to go have some fun." She said, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. Kaiba smiled at her. He followed where she was taking him. When they finally stopped they were far away from the rest of the gang. "What are we doing over here?" Kaiba asked, obviously puzzled by why there were no people at this part of the beach. Tea looked up into his eyes. "I just wanted some time alone, just the two of us." She answered him. Kaiba smiled at her. He gently slipped his arms around her waist, and hugged her to him. She placed her head and both of her hands on his smooth chest. He stroked her bare back gently, while she moved her hands up around his neck. She gently ran her fingers through his hair. He then leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips. It was a sweet, gentle kiss. Meanwhile, Joey and Malik were watching Tea and Kaiba from about ten yards away. "Awww, isn't that cute?" Joey asked, smirking. "I think we should go grab Tea." He suggested. "Awww, Joey, do we have to? They look like they're enjoying doing.um.that." He said. "C'mon Malik." Joey said. "It'll be funny to see their expressions. Malik still looked a little cautious, but he finally gave in. They both swam in the deep water. They reached Tea's legs. Joey was tempted to go up for air, but that would ruin the whole plan. He wrapped his arms around Tea's legs, and Malik reached up and grabbed her by the waist. Tea yelped in surprise, while Kaiba looked surprised and amused at the same time. Joey and Malik both popped out of the water gasping for air. When they finally caught their breath, they lifted Tea into the air and threw her in. Joey and Malik started laughing hysterically, and Kaiba laughed along with them. When Tea came up she was gasping for air. She watched as Malik, Joey, and Kaiba all high- fived each other. "Kaiba, were you in on this?" She asked, eyeing him suspiciously. Kaiba shook his head, still laughing. Tea finally couldn't help but laugh also.

THAT NIGHT

Tea showered and got changed. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail. She put her pajamas on and walked out into the hallway of Kaiba's house. She walked past Mokuba's room and decided to check on him. She walked in and saw him playing his video game. "Hey Mokuba!" She exclaimed. Mokuba paused his game and turned around to face Tea. "Hi Tea!" He exclaimed. "May I sit down?" She asked. Mokuba nodded his head eagerly. She took a seat next to him on the bed. "Tea, can I ask you a question?" Mokuba asked. "Shoot." Tea said. "Well.I was talking to Seto about you, and he said that he loved you-a lot. I wanted to know if you loved him back?" He asked. Tea was startled by the young boy's question. She finally looked down at Mokuba and smiled. "Of course I love your brother. He's one of the people in this world that I do truly love and care for." She answered. Mokuba smiled at her response. He reached up and threw his arms around Tea's neck. Tea, you won't ever leave us will you? My mom left us when I was really little, and you remind me of my mom, and.I don't want you to leave us too." He said. She could hear the little boy crying softly into her shirt. She put her arms around him and hugged him close to her. She could feel hot tears welling in up in her eyes. But she held back her tears. She needed to comfort Mokuba now. She pulled away from the small boy, but she didn't remove her arms. She took one of her hands and gently wiped the tears from his eyes. Then she hugged the boy close to her again, gently stroking his back. "I'll never leave you Mokuba. I care to much about you and your brother to leave you." She said, fighting back tears. "And I'm honored that I remind you of your mother." She added. Mokuba finally stopped crying and looked into Tea's eyes. He could tell that she was going to cry. Tea saw that Mokuba was looking up at her. She finally couldn't help it anymore; she let the tears fall from her eyes. They made pathways down her cheeks, and dropped onto her lap. Mokuba reached up and took the small palms of his hands and wiped the tears off of Tea's face. Tea smiled a small smile at the boy. She finally got control of her emotions and stopped crying. Mokuba smiled up at her. "I'm glad you're going to stay with us." He said. "I'm glad I'm staying too." She said. Right about then Kaiba walked in the door. "Are you two having a party that I wasn't invited to?" He asked smiling. He saw that Tea's eyes were red and puffy from crying. He walked over to the bed and sat down next to her. "What's wrong?" He asked. Tea looked at him. "Oh, Mokuba and I were just having a talk about some things." She said. "Like what?" Kaiba asked. "I asked Tea if she would stay with us from now on." Mokuba said. Kaiba looked over at Tea, as if he was searching for her answer. "I told him that I would never leave either of you." Tea said. Kaiba smiled. He leaned over and hugged both of them close to him. "Thank-you Tea." He whispered in her ear. Tea smiled at him. "You're welcome." She replied. They all three sat on the bed until Mokuba fell asleep. Kaiba looked into Tea's eyes. "I love you Tea." Kaiba whispered to her. "I love you too." Tea said, and with that she laid her head on his shoulder and they sat on the bed holding each other until Tea drifted off to sleep. Kaiba then picked her up and took her to her room. He laid her down on the bed and lightly kissed her cheek. "Sweet dreams Tea." He whispered as he walked out of the room. "Sweet dreams." Tea whispered back, and then she drifted back off to sleep.
