Wow thanks for the reviews, they were basically over night )
Also to answer "which type of Yugi is it?"
Well considering that he is both Yami and Yugi Moto he will surely be morphing into his ancient and more mature self throughout the story somewhere….
Chapter 2
"Memories of you"
The emotional time just passed with Serenity Wheeler had taken a lot out of Tea.
Physically she was feeling ill and was worried that she would not be able to do all the things she had planned on her list.
She checked her watch 2.30pm.
"Oh no" she gasped on the train back into the city.
Time was vastly running out and Tea was feeling more and more anxious and stressed. She knew that the only thing written in the entire list of hers that was of true importance was Telling Yugi.
Sighing, she picked up her list and crossed off various other activities that she had intended to do. Maybe she waited too late to do them? Maybe she never would have done them? It didn't really matter what the reason as long as Tea had enough time and strength to see her best friend and secret love for one last time.
The 3.00pm sign flashed on the electronic clocks around the city. Tea shivered as a rush of cool afternoon breeze gushed over her. She closed her eyes and took in this cool autumn air, which she would never feel again.
When she reached the outside entrance to the MUSEUM OF EGYPTIAN ARTIFACTS, Tea felt another chill. This time it wasn't from the mid noon breeze. The breeze of anxiety tingled down her spine and she began to feel faint.
Gathering all the energy that was left in her frail body, Tea held she up and entered the large building.
Tea waited for Yugi from inside the first floor building. A tear managed to creep out of her left eye as she saw the red and deep yellow leaves dust themselves along the concrete outside. Tea never realised just how precious every little leave was or how magical the sky looked when the sun rose that morning. Too many autumn was a pain of a season and Tea had never thought much of it either…until now. From now on autumn will always hold a special place in her spirit long after she is gone.
Her eyes widened when she saw a smallish male approaching the museum.
His hair reminded her of the autumn leaves and his skin was creamy like the latte she had drank this morning.
"Oh Yugi" she whispered softly to herself.
As soon he entered the museum Yugi was greeted with a rather large hug from his best friend.
"Yugi I am so happy to see you" she beamed, clenching onto his waist with all her might.
Yugi looked confused however happily returned the hug from her.
"Uh Tea?" "Don't we always meet here on Friday's?" he asked pulling away a bit.
Tea moved back and nodded. "Yeah" she smiled, keeping her focus on his deep purple eyes.
"So I was thinking that today we could..." Yugi was suddenly interrupted by a happy yet shaky Tea.
"How about we go somewhere different?" she asked with anticipation.
Yugi shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay"
Minutes later the two pals where standing outside of one of the cities finest hotels.
Tea had dragged the poor guy all over the city until the finally reached the luscious hotel, with revolving doors and exquisite gardens.
Yugi looks at Tea, who was looking up at the seven story palace like building.
"Tea, what are we doing here?" he questions tilting his head to one side like a confused puppy dog.
Tea doesn't say anything. Instead without warning she grabs him by the hand and pushes through the revolving doors.
The reception is bigger than Yugi and Tea's houses combined and was decorated with antiques and gorgeous framed photos of famous celebrities who had spent the night here.
In the middle of the foyer was a spectacular fountain which sprayed all different colours and lit up at night.
"Tea this is beautiful but why are we……"
Yugi couldn't finish his sentence as Tea was already talking to the receptionist and making a reservation for tonight.
"Ok so the bill for the restaurant and room will be in your name miss gardener?"
The snooty receptionist asks.
"Uh huh" Tea nods.
Poor little Yugi had no idea what the hell Tea was doing.
"Tea can you explain to me what is going on?"
Tea takes yet another deep breath and walks towards the elevator with shiny metallic doors.
"I have booked a hotel room for the night" she replies, pressing the button to level 5
"What?" Yugi asked with almost half of his jaw on the floor.
Tea looked at Yugi and quivered a little.
"It for you and me" she replied
Yugi didn't say anything; he just stood there until the elevator reached the fifth floor.
The moment they stepped off, Yugi and Tea were greeted by Duke, Joey Tristan and Serenity.
"Hey Yug" Joey high fived him.
"Pretty swank joint you booked here Tea" he grins.
"Yeah well I thought I would do something nice for my friends" she replies quickly walking along the long corridor and onto one of the balconies outside.
The view from this floor was incredible. Being almost 4.30 the sun was starting to set.
The group all stood outside with Tea and watched the golden sun go down.
"This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life" Tea says to herself, leaning over the beautiful railing.
Everyone looked at her confused. Serenity looked at the ground and wept.
Tristan and Duke both put their arms around her.
"What's wrong Serenity?" they both asked at the same time.
Joey looked over at the two boys suspiciously.
"Oh nothing I just need to talk to Tea for a moment" she replies, wiping her tears.
The guys decide to have a look around the posh hotel before dinner, leaving the two girls to talk.
"Is it just me or is their something weird about those two today?" Joey asked.
"Yeah you could be right Joey" Yugi replied.
Tristan shrugged it off to probably being a girl thing.
"What about the fancy hotel, the dinner and the room Tea has booked for her and me tonight?" Yugi thinks to himself.
He did not want to tell anyone about that just yet, Tea hadn't mentioned it so perhaps it was just to get away for a break or something...
"Have you told him yet?" Serenity asked tea, standing beside her on the balcony.
Tea shook her head.
"Tonight after dinner" she quietly replied.
"Oh okay" Serenity nodded solemnly.
There was silence for a while between the two.
Tea and Serenity then walked away from the balcony and headed toward the restaurant.
"Tea" Serenity spoke up as they waited to be seated in the elegant place.
"Yeah"
"I wont tell anyone" "and you look really pretty tonight" Serenity's words wore soft and meaningful, those of a true friend.
Tea could feel her tears welling up but suddenly had to hold them in as she saw her friends approaching in their usual scruffy attire.
"Is there a dress code here?" Joey asked, looking at all the well dressed people sitting down eating.
Serenity couldn't help but laugh at Joey's lack of class and his cuteness.
"Yeah people are staring at us" Duke added, ruffling his ponytail. Something he did when he was embarrassed.
"No it doesn't matter, all that matters is that we are all here" Tea concluded, forcing a happy smile.
The group nodded and were seated by one of the windows overlooking the lights of the city and the park which was visible by the street lights which were now on.
"Yeah well at least one of us looks good" Yugi says looking at Tea.
Joey made a wolf whistle and Yugi blushed. This made it even harder for Tea, as she knew she would never have a night like this with him again.
The dinner was great and everyone had a good time. Especially Tea like she had wished. Nothing was more important to her right now than being surrounded by her true friends. (And secret love.)
After dinner, Tea said goodbye to all of her friends outside the hotel.
It was dark by now and the city was bustling.
"That was a blast" "we have gotta do it again" Tristan said giving the evening a thumbs up.
Serenity sadly whimpered silently as she was the only one who knew that would never happen not with all of them again.
"Well its not over yet" Tea piped up. Avoiding her inner sadness.
"We'll all meet up at the observation tower later on tonight" she suggested.
"Yeah cool" Joey replied.
"Right now Yugi and I need to talk"
Yugi coughed a little,
"Uh we do?" he asked.
"Hmm so that's what you call it these days is it?" Joey joked.
"Oh stop it you three" Serenity motioned to the three giggling young males.
"Ok see you two later" Duke winked before being dragged off by Serenity and Tristan.
The elevator went up to the very top floor where Tea had booked her room.
The room was absolutely magnificent. The best that money could buy.
"Did you get a loan from Seto Kaiba for this?" Yugi asked gazing at the en suite and large satin bed inside.
Tea ignored him and walked over to him quickly.
"Yugi" she began, stroking her white skirt.
"You may need your Yami for this"
Yugi trembled.
"Tea why?"
Tea breathed heavily and wiped a little sweat that had accumulated. Mostly from the cancer but partly from the anticipation of telling him.
"I don't think you are strong enough to her what I am about to say"
She then flopped onto the satin bed and started to cry.
Yugi immediately morphed into his more protective self.
He sat on the bed beside her and held her arms softly.
"Tea what is it?" he asked in his deeper more sexy voice.
Tea could not keep a straight face; she burst into floods of tears before telling him.
"Yugi I have cancer" "I was diagnosed too late with it and was given only a few months to live"
Yami's expression was as cold as ice and the little Yugi inside him could feel his heart break in two.
"Tea I …" he didn't know what to say, what could he say? There was nothing that he could do.
Tea then explained about the list and the very few good days she was starting to have.
"I take it the dance academy will now know" he added, reading the list of things that were written on Tea's list.
Tea nodded and sobbed into the large pillow she was resting on.
Yugi could see the physical weakness in Tea and Yami wandered why he had not picked up on it sooner.
"I know what you're thinking Yami and it's not your fault" she rose off her pillow and rested her head against Yami.
Yami clenched his fists. "If only there was something I could have done to prevent this".
Tea shook her head.
"There was nothing that anyone could do" she informed, wiping her tears with a pale blue handkerchief.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" he asked
"Why did you wait and write it on your list?" Yami could feel tears searing at his skin by now.
Tea looked up at Yami and delicately touched his face.
"Because there is something else I need to tell you" "Now that I am dying I have nothing to hide anymore"
The chemistry between the two saddened friends was amazing. Yami held Tea in tightly beside him, all realisations of why she had planned the hotel and the restaurant and why serenity was so upset before started to sink in.
Tea drew her closer to Yami's and felt the tears flow again.
"Yami Yugi I"...
Yami hushed her by pressing his lips up against hers softly.
Yami gently removed her silky blue top and bra. Tea rested against the bed softly as Yami removed his clothes, revealing a more muscular Yugi. Tea slid her hands along his smooth velvety skin. The both felt each others warm embrace as the cool night air blew outside…
Hold on to me now
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself, are all my thoughts of you
Sweet ruptured life
It ends here tonight...
Yami was such a gentle lover and Tea was giving in to every emotion that followed.
She new she only had this moment as did Yami and Yugi could feel the passion inside Yami.
Yami penitrated Tea smoothly and softly, so she was comfortable and secure.
They had both longed for this moment for so long.
The rain began to fall onto the observation deck
The time was now 11.30pm and Tea and Yugi were meant to have been here by now.
"Where are those two?" Joey said, covering himself with his jacket from the rain.
Serenity gasped as she suddenly realised what had happened with them in the hotel that night.
She smiled inwardly for Tea as she was finally able to enjoy her last moments on earth with the man she had always loved.
"I don't think they're coming" she replied.
"What?" "Why?" Tristan asked.
Serenity felt tears come on again as she thought of how much time Tea and Yami/Yugi could have spent together. She whimpered over all the lost opportunities they could have shared.
"At least they have tonight" she thought.
"Uh Serenity" Joey waved his hand in front of his little sisters face.
The rain was falling pretty heavily by now, but Serenity didn't care. The cool water streamed along her face disguising her tears. Joey wrapped his arm around her and walked her back inside the tower.
"I guess we'll see them tomorrow" Duke shrugged.
Serenity nodded.
"I'm sure Yugi will tell us everything" Tristan winked, thinking of what they were getting up to in that hotel room.
"He sure will" Serenity mouthed.
She then wrapped her arm around Joey and walked back into the city to wait for a cab home.
"Bye Tea" she whispered.
The time in the hotel room had seemed to freeze, letting Yami express all of his physical lust on to Tea.
"I had no idea Yami" she panted, letting sweat run along her body.
Yami pulled himself up and starred into her blue eyes.
"I love you" he said smiling, amidst the tragic circumstances.
Tea flung her arms around Yami's bare chest and cried.
"I love you too, both of you" she let her tears pour down onto the satin bed.
Suddenly she felt short of breath, the illness fluctuated daily and Tea was having another bad turn.
She lay on the satin bed whilst Yami comforted her.
"Yami" she whispered, almost out of breath, "Tell everyone I am sorry that I missed them"
Yami nodded seriously and kissed her on the forehead. He did not want this feeling to ever leave him.
"Now that you know" "I can finally go" she murmured before closing her eyes and entering a deep sleep….
Sew this up with seeds of reason and regret
So will not forget, I can not forget
I'm falling into memories of you
And things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you
Close off these eyes
Try not to cry
All that I've got to pull me through
Are memories of you...?
I'm falling into memories of you, and things we used to do…..
The end
