Chapter Four- An Interesting Twist!
(Impartial POV)
Tea was just walking out of the bar, with Yugi, Yami, Mai, Tristan, Serenity, Bakura, Malik, Ishizu, Ryou and Joey behind her.
"Hey Tea!" came a voice.
Tea turned around to see Johnny Steps.
"Oh, Hi Johnny, what's up?" asked Tea.
"I was wondering if we could have another dance contest Tea, after all, this time I promise not to cheat," said Johnny.
"Uhh... okay, if you want," said Tea.
"Good, by the way if I win, why don't you and I go to Kaiba's dance together?" said Johnny smiling, he added this in almost as an after thought.
"Alright, but only if you win!" said Tea, laughing, the challenge was clear in her voice.
The whole group sweatdropped, and Yami, Bakura and Malik were imagining thousands of knives repeatedly stabbing into Johnny's head.
"Let's go Tea," said Johnny.
Johnny and Tea walked off to the arcade, with the whole group behind them. Some members of the group were almost bursting with laughter, while others were extremely ill humored about the stakes of this little contest. Namely Bakura, Yami and Malik. But Ryou personally hoped that Johnny would win.
The arcade was rapidly coming closer as the gang continued to walk down the street, Yami, Bakura and Malik continued to stare daggers at Johnny's back, and Johnny had his arm around Tea.
"Alright Tea, are you ready?" asked Johnny, he walked into the Arcade.
"The question is; are you ready to lose?" asked Tea as she walked in behind him.
(Tea's POV)
It is time to teach Johnny what dancing is really about. He was boasting that he has become a great choreographer and is very well known in the industry. But this isn't what dancing is all about, it is about putting a little of your heart into it because you love dancing. That is what I believe anyway. If Johnny hasn't figured this out yet and is still boasting about his skills then I can still beat him no matter how good he is, because I love dancing, and I put my whole heart into it.
Johnny has already gone up to machine. So it's a new one; good. He is selecting many options, no doubt to his own advantage. Oh well, that still won't help him win.
"So Johnny are you ready?" I ask challengingly, my friends aren't the only ones who are competitive. I think they have rubbed off on me, and my passion for dancing.
"If you think you can handle me babe," said Johnny.
He is going down!
NO ONE TALKS TO ME LIKE THAT IN FRONT OF YAMI!
"The question is, can you handle me?" I asked.
Johnny smirked, "We'll see," he said.
We both stepped up to the floor. The music began, I let it speak to me, I danced with my heart and let the music tell me how to move. I began to move, I didn't need open eyes to know what was happening around me. Because somehow I already knew.
(Malik's POV)
This is kind of interesting...
In a very weird and disturbing way. Tea is really hot, and has a great body, I had no idea she was so good at dancing. Johnny has no hope and he can see it, Tea hasn't even got her eyes open.
Yami is still glaring at Johnny, but he is also constantly distracted by Tea, he keeps blushing whenever he looks at her, and I can see why!
The way she moves, so gracefully, so fluid, so incredible. It is like her dancing is just as natural to her as breathing...
BY THE GODS THAT GIRL IS INCREDIBLE!
Johnny is just staring at her, he isn't even trying anymore, I can't say that I blame him. I think it is quite clear that not only is she out of his league in dancing, but she is also out of his league in general.
Tea just won the dance contest! (WAHOOOOOOO!)
Now there shall be no one who can stop me in my evil plans! Not the Pharaoh, not Bakura and not even Ishizu! (evil/insane laugh).
(Tea's POV)
I look back over at my friends, they are staring, and Bakura, Malik and Yami are blushing slightly...
Well Yami more than slightly...
Okay that is definitely weird...
I smiled, "Looks like you lost your bet Johnny, now what will you do?" I asked.
"You could take me to Kaiba's dance as loser's compensation," he said.
Okay he has a major crush on me, but it's too bad I just can't stand his hair!
Why are Bakura, Yami and Malik giving Johnny death glares?...
"Sorry Johnny, maybe another time, after all that was the stakes if you won, not if you lost, no rewards for losers," I said teasingly, even flirtatiously.
I never said I was a saint, besides I am going to use any means necessary to try and get Yami to notice me, even (distasteful moan) flirting with Johnny. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
"HEY TEA!" yelled Mai, "Let's go!" she finished.
"Okay, I'll be right with you," I yelled back.
I turned back to Johnny "Thanks for everything, this was really fun; just remember that real dancing comes from your heart, not from a ton of choreographing and memorization. I hope we do this again in another couple of years," I said.
I quickly kissed him on the cheek, for hardly more than a second. After all he was so nice, and I felt kind of guilty for humiliating him and turning him down in the same five minutes.
Johnny went bright red, much to my satisfaction.
I walked back to my friends.
Mai, Joey, Ishizu, Serenity, Tristan, Yugi and Ryou were uncontrollably laughing, but Bakura, Yami and Malik were glaring back at the still blushing Johnny.
They looked as if they had homicidal impulses, the glares had gone past death glares into another realm altogether. I wonder why, I know kissed his cheek, but was that it? Why would that upset them? There is still something that I don't understand going on here.
(Yami's POV)
Okay I am calm, breathe in one… two… three… breathe out. Just because the girl I am in love with kissed another guy on the cheek doesn't mean that she likes him. I am sure that this is a misunderstanding.
I BEAT JOHNNY IN A DUEL AND I'LL BLOODY DO IT AGAIN. HE IS GOING DOWN, (TO THE SHADOW REALM) (evil insane laugh)
/Yami, are you okay/
I am fine Yugi
/Well it is just that you seem to have broken a link on the chain holding the puzzle. Don't you think you should let go before you do more damage? Just some advice/
Okay so maybe I had gripped the chain a little too tight, it was just a little crushed and broken in some places.
Steel these days, so weak (sigh), nothing is like it was in the good old days when I was pharaoh. I had women throwing themselves at me and chains that never broke...
Well until Bakura was put in the dungeon anyway…
Yugi, you don't think she likes him do you?
/Why are you asking me? Ask her yourself, and then admit that you are madly in love with her/
I am not! I just have a small crush
/Do you want me to give her your diary? That would enlighten her immensely/
Sometimes the evilness of my hikari astonishes even me. I didn't even know he knew where I put my diary. Wait if he knew where I put it then that meant...
You read my diary?... What happened to privacy?...
(mental smirk from Yugi) /Actually I haven't read it, Grandpa found it and read it, and then he told me that you were really perverted. And that you had a really big crush on Tea/
I wonder if Ishizu would see sending Yugi's Grandpa to the shadow realm as breaking the rules? But Yugi will use the puppy dog eyes on me, or worse he'll let me go hungry and won't help me with Tea...
Ra hates me.
Doesn't your Grandpa understand about privacy?
/Well since he found it on top of your desk, not hidden or anything, he assumed that it wasn't private/
Okay, maybe that wasn't the best hiding place. I swear if I were still pharaoh that old man would never have been allowed anywhere near me...
Still he shouldn't have read it, and don't you dare show it to Tea
/It's not my fault my Grandpa is nosy, besides I guess this means that there is a lot of perverted shit in it right/
I am not going to answer that, okay so maybe there is some perverted shit in it, but I have been locked in a puzzle for 5000 years plus, DOESN'T THAT ALLOW FOR SOME LEE-WAY?...
"Hey Yami, what are you two discussing?" cut in Malik.
"Nothing," I said glaring at my counterpart, if he says anything, he is toast.
You hear that? You say anything and you're toast
"Doesn't sound like nothing," commented Bakura.
I swear as soon as the ban is off I'll send the tomb robber and the lunatic to the shadow realm, just to pay them back for annoying me so much.
"It was nothing that concerns you Malik anyway, we were discussing my grandpa, he has been annoying Yami a little," said Yugi.
"In what way?" asked Joey.
"Well..." said Yugi pathetically.
"He doesn't understand privacy," I practically yelled.
I stormed off, I was really annoyed. AND I MEAN PISSED OFF!
I went into the park, one of my favorite places, looking out over the pond, I could throw a few stones, maybe try and skip them, even though I am lousy at it. For some stupid reason it always makes me feel better.
On second thoughts I won't throw any rocks, I don't really want to embarrass myself like that too much right now.
I just looked out over the pond, I felt calmer, maybe I won't send Yugi's grandpa to the shadow realm...
Provided he makes me some pancakes... with maple syrup!
I LOVE PANCAKES!
"Hey Yami, wait up!" yelled a voice from behind me, could it be Tea?
It is Tea! She must care about me a little to follow me like that, but does she like me as a friend or as something more? This contest is trickier than I thought.
I began to run over my hair with my hands, the spikes are still there (thank Ra), I often have nightmares involving big pairs of scissors chopping off my spikes.
Well, someone up there certainly likes me. Not only is it nearly sunset, in the park, which is a very romantic time, but I have my girl with me and no one else around...
Yup no doubt about it Ra definitely lo...
DID I SAY NO ONE ELSE IN THE PARK?
THIS MUST BE A SIGN THAT RA DEFINITELY HATES ME!
Not only are Malik, Joey, Mai, Yugi, Bakura, Ryou, Tristan and Serenity coming up behind Tea, but MALIK HAS PUT HIS ARM AROUND HER!
Will resist homicidal impulses…
Will not kill Malik…
I am a pharaoh I have self control, I am cool, regal, calm, dignified…
WHY THE HELL HAS SHE CHOSEN HIM OVER ME!
/Yami, are you sure you're alright/
Everything is just peachy Yugi
/Look Malik has just put his arm around Tea, big deal, are you going to curl up into a ball and say that he has beaten you, JUST BECAUSE OF THAT/
erm...uh...
Since when did Yugi get such a mean streak? He is definitely bossy, when did this change occur, last I checked I had at least 5000 years on him, giving me seniority and you would have thought mastery, but no...
/If you really were a pharaoh you must have been a pretty bad one, you are giving up so easily. A true pharaoh wouldn't give up so easily on a girl he loves/
I AM A TRUE PHARAOH
/Then act like one and stop acting like a child/
Now that's an insult, I'm not childish, I always act dignified. I always act like a pharaoh. (I completely ignored all of the embarrassing and very uncool moments that are bought into question by this statement)
I looked at Tea again, why the hell do I always feel like I am melting when I look at her? All of my confidence drains away...
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?
/It's called love Yami. And if you had been paying any attention to Tea before, you would have noticed she looks pretty uncomfortable with Malik, not like when she was with you/
Wait, Yugi is right, she definitely looks uncomfortable, hmmm...
/Yami instead of moaning about Tea choosing other people over you, get in there and make her realise how much you care, otherwise HOW ELSE IS SHE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH HER/
Yugi was right, I was going to have to swallow my pride and do something very hard, I was going to have to (groan) apologise.
Sorry Yugi, you're right, I let Malik and Johnny rattle me, you're right, this is one contest I am going to win
Maybe Yugi has a point, she probably still likes me, and anyway I have never lost a contest yet and I don't intend to lose this one either!
"Hey Yami, are you alright?" asked Tea, her eyes were full of concern; she was paying no attention to Malik.
"I am fine Tea," I said, "are you alright?" I asked.
"I am fine Yami," said Tea, she has completely forgotten Malik, and he looks rather annoyed by this.
Ha! No one defeats the KING OF GAMES! AND I MEAN NO ONE! (evil insane laugh)
(Yugi's POV)
Yami's eyes are glowing, almost flaming, he is back in the game. It is a good thing he is focused again. I just wish he'd stop calling this a contest and treating it like one. He takes his feelings too lightly, and other peoples. He just doesn't want to be humiliated or hurt, but can't he see if he doesn't get out there he'll never live either.
People say that I am the naïve, light, silly half. Personally I think that the only time Yami shows his true feelings or courage is when he is dueling or helping someone he loves.
He needs to get out more, I am such a bad example, but the group isn't much better...
Especially Joey and Mai, honestly after all the work the group put in to get them together, most of the time though, I honestly think that we needn't have bothered, because of their attitudes. (sigh)
I guess matchmaking just isn't really my thing.
"Look guys," said Tea, untangling herself (with great difficulty) from Malik, "I think I should go home now, I'll see you tomorrow," she said walking away.
Thank goodness, day one was over, only twenty days more left...
(AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now...
Calm down Yugi, Tea will have to decide before the twenty days are up, I just really hope she'll decide soon.
Well, I hope it was of a small interest to you... well it must be if you made it this far. Anyway, please R & R, and I will try to update soon!
