Author's Notes: So sorry it took me so long! The bloody Internet decided to die on me, and then fan fiction wouldn't let me in. Then couldn't find the bloody files. Then my brother and sister decided to be evil and take the computer forever!
To respond to Ksaturn, Whatever you need, my help on, if you still need it I'll do what I can.
To answer Denierure's questions, yes this is Yami, see I haven't watched the memory world episodes or anything of that matter, so I wouldn't know about Yami's past (although I read and watch enough to make a good guess) So, in this story, his mysterious past kind of got my mind working. No, Yami is not a pervert; he was just showing he understood. Sorry for confusing you. Yes, Yami does know martial arts and other things I won't mention at this time, but there's good reason for that. Since I'm on the 6th chapter of Ocean's Wings, I'll probably go to the 7th chapter, and then stop for a while to catch up "The Furby War". Sorry for those who don't like this idea. Here's the chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh and sadly never will. So those who were planning to sue can drop their pointless cases against me.
Ocean's Wings: Surprise!
Italicize-Thought"Happy"- talking
It's been 2 months, since Tea took Yami under her careful care. Tea has been able to keep a secret from her family, bringing food after eating her own dinner, and keeping the bored teen in her room (most of the time) with her television, which surprisingly, he turned to the food channel networks everyday and memorized everything he heard on recipes and tips, sometimes practicing and inventing his own recipes when the family wasn't home, with Tea as his taster.
From the many conversations they shared, Tea now knew that Yami's favorite colors were blue, green, silver, black, and white. He preferred jackets to coats, loved nature, is very up to date in Math, Science, Arts of all kinds, weapons, and history, which was mainly on wars, battles, and ancient weapons. This seemed weird to Tea, but normal. Another amazing thing about Yami was his eyes changed colors. She realized that sometime in September, when his eyes changed to a sky blue. Apparently he never knew this either, because his voice rang in sync with Tea's, who had screamed. Today, which happened to be a Saturday, his eyes matched Tea's exactly, another thing that startled her, but quickly got over it.
"Today, we're going shopping!" Tea said dancing with glee. (A/N: there are not many girls who can resist a shopping spree! I'm one who can!) Yami looked skeptical at this remark. "Why do I have to go? The Iron Chef is competing against Japan's finest sushi chefs and the after that Todd English is showing me how to make strawberry pineapple shortcake and chocolate cheesecake!" (Don't know who Todd is, if not a real person I made him up, if not I don't own him.) Yami whined. Tea loved chocolate cheesecake, but they had to take this opportunity to get Yami some clothes. Her dad, who came back from Italy, had started noticing his nightshirts and t-shirts had been going missing, and Tea couldn't take that chance of him finding out that a male had been living in his house for 2 months without his consent.
"You gotta come, I don't know what size clothes you wear and what styles you prefer, so just record it with the DVR and come on!" "What's a DVR?" Yami looked confused. "It's a recording system for cable, now get out of bed!" Tea grabbed the mattress and tilted it over, knocking Yami out of it. "My mom and sister is at a space exhibit and Dads with a client somewhere! The perfect time to go to the mall!" Yami groaned. Why didn't this girl have to go to school? I wanted to cook today without interruptions. Yami thought to himself as he walked to the bathroom to change. "Today's going to be a looong day."
After an hour of preparation, Tea and Yami were at the mall, Tea laughing at how little Yami knew about modern life and people, watching as he went to everyone and everything asking them silly questions. After bothering the 50th couple asking them why were ladybugs called ladybugs, Tea dragged Yami to the clothes section of the mall. Surprisingly, Yami exactly what to do, for he came out in a lot of teen fashions, such as black Sean John jeans with a matching vest and white shirt, complete with a black leather belt with silver ovals around it that matched the black collar he was still wearing from when Tea found him. Sadly, the collar on Yami's neck would not come off, even after being attacked by a giant butchers knife. (Yami unwillingly volunteered) After getting enough outfits to please Tea, the group went to the game store of the mall, only because Yami continuously complained about being stuck in her room all the time and needing something to do than watching TV. Tea was dressed in another pink outfit, the only difference was she put on a pink skirt and pink dress shoes instead of jeans, tying her hair in an pink bow.
Tea sighed and let Yami investigate the large gaming store. Sitting down on a bench inside the store, Tea watched the many kids, parents, and shoppers come and go by. She was so attentive of watching the customers in the store she didn't notice someone coming behind her. "Hi Tea!" the person shouted. Tea shouted and jumped really high, falling off the bench. "Um…sorry if I startled you." The person apologized walking over to help Tea on her feet, allowing her to see who it was. "Oh! Hi Yugi! Thank You!" Tea smiled. Yugi had been her friend since they were toddlers, so they knew each other pretty well. He was shorter than most teenagers and had one of the most unique hair color and styles. Today he was wearing the blue school uniform, long pants and a jacket, with his dueling belt, two black belts crisscrossing each other with his deck on the side. He had tri-colored hair, purple, yellow, and red, in a star, spiked-shape fashion. (Actually on thought Yami's hair stuck up in that same fashion when wet.) His friendly purple eyes glowed with concern for his friend. "I'm fine Yugi, don't worry." Tea reassured. "You just startled me that's all." "What were you so focused on?" Yugi smiled. "Oh, see Yami went somewhere to find something he was interested in and..." "Who's Yami?" a voice spoke from behind the pair. Yugi and Tea looked behind them to find Tristan and Joey, also friends. Joey was a blond haired teen with honey brown eyes and a crazed sense of being inane and eating a lot. Tristan was a brown-haired brown-eyed teen and Joey's partner of silliness, fighting, and eating. The teens each were carrying duel monsters packs in their hands.
"Hi Joey, Tristan, how are you? Yami is a teen I've been taking care of." Tea replied. As on cue, Yami then walked over to the group carrying bags of things with a slightly amused look on his face. "Guys, this is Yami. Yami, this is Joey, Tristan, and Yugi." "Hi, it's nice to see that Tea actually hangs out with her male friends for a change. Her and her girlfriends talk about absolutely nothing for hours, which I never thought was possible. No offense Tea. Can we leave now? I got my things and Iron Chef is about to come on." "You like cooking!" Joey and Tristan yelled at the same time. "Of course. Cooking is great! Especially eating it. I like desserts best." "All right Yami. What did you do?" Tea sighed. "Tea, I'm hurt! How could you accuse me so? I have done nothing wrong." Tea turned and sighed again, getting ready for the argument she knew was coming. "Because you're an insane, daredevil, firefly and is always getting me into trouble!" "Tea for the 70th time, I am not insane! Just because you don't do anything worthwhile in your life and I do doesn't make me insane!"
"So switching all of my dad's files around, moving all the remotes to the wrong rooms in bizarre places, shaking up all the soda in the house, putting color dye in my mother's rose bushes turning them white, turning Cassie against me, (Cassie's the family dog) having her only respond to "Lassie come home!" fixing the downstairs TV to be stuck on bloody Sesame Street all day, moving the flour and sugar so my mother made the morning bread extra sugary making pies, cakes, and other things and putting them around the house to make it seem as if there's a ghost in the house, using the long distance to call Japan for sushi, rice, kimono's, and who knows what, prank calling around Domino and Italy, using all the toothpaste on purpose, getting the highest score on all the final fantasy games and Kingdom Hearts, reading Edgar Allen Poe as though he was the best author ever, setting various things on fire, don't think I haven't noticed, still free falling off my roof, and scaring the living hell out of my sister with demon Elmo's' is not insane!" Tea yelled at the now fuming Yami.
"Look you! Being stuck in your baka (stupid) damn room all day isn't any fun at all! (1) Ame trovare mai ritoru small and amusing for me! (I find my pranks small and amusing for me!) Your father isn't even around all the time to get mad about the files, blanco (white) is a nice color for roses, and the remotes work in any room anyway! How could you tell the difference when they're all the same! There is nothing wrong with a little shook up soda, Cassie never liked you very much anyway for she told me so, blame your sister having me watch Lassie 12 times in a row, Sesame street is a educational program, The bread was different for a change, You know full well I like cooking and since you're always making poor touhou (me) go upstairs all the time I end up leaving mio (my) cakes and pies everywhere! Since the only person in your family who speaks Japanese is your sister and father I actually wanted to bring some Japanese culture into your room! I wasn't prank calling anywhere! I never used all the toothpaste; you just don't put the baka (stupid) top making the toothpaste hard and nasty! Getting the kan (best) damn score on those games wasn't hard, because you suck at all those games; Edgar Allen Poe is one of the best damn authors there ever was. A lot of his stories are kuro (dark), and yo gustan oscuridad! (I like darkness!) Don't you ever insult him! Setting things on fire is amusing, fun, unsuspecting, and interesting! Besides I only set things on fire safely anyway! I don't free fall off anything! I jump off the roof for training anyway!" "What training? To kill yourself off faster!" "No! I'm not suicidal! I want to sky dive one day and your roof is high enough for practice! And I cured your sister of being frightened by that red, big nose freak! (Elmo's cute, but he scares me so if your offended sorry!) Just because I made your life more upbeat doesn't mean that you can boss me around! Oh! And by the way! Sea foam green nail polish is extremely dull! If you wanna get polish, get sapphire blue!" "Don't yell at me! Especially in a different Language!" Tea shouted back. "Don't order me around! I'll yell as loud as loud as I bloody want! You would actually know what I'm saying if you fucking studied!" Their heated argument continued, completely ignoring the rest of the group, who was stunned that Tea would even do something like this, and her new friend was a troublemaker. They were also getting quite a crowd staring at them as well, the cashiers and managers looking shocked at the sight before them. After about 10 minuets, an explosion sounded in the Furby aisle, breaking the argument between the two. "Oh, looks like it worked. Wonder if they caught fire? That would be bloody brilliant!" Yami exclaimed happily. "WHAT! You did that!" Tea yelled now furious then. "Mommy! My princess Furby is on fire!" a child shouted to their mother. "Am I in trouble?" Yami asked the shocked group, the shop in frenzy.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Later)
After paying for the torched furbies (much to Yami's delight) the burned shelves, and promising to not come to the store for another 6 months, saying goodbye to Yugi, Joey, and Tristan, and threatening Yami to kick him out the house if he did something like that in public again, Tea and Yami came back to the house around 6pm.
"Now be quiet, maybe by some small miracle, mom and sis won't be home." Tea whispered to Yami as she unlocked the door. Together, they tiptoed through the front of the house, trying not to make a sound. Sadly, fate wouldn't let that happen. Since the lights were off, and there was a small staircase right by the front door, Tea and Yami both tripped and fell down the staircase yelling all the way down. "Ow! Stupid staircase!" Yami yelled. "St.op…sw.ea...ring and g…et the hell off me!" Tea mumbled underneath Yami's weight. "Sorry Tea! I Thought I landed on a pillow!" Yami smiled in the darkness, getting off the ticked teenage girl. "And since when our pillows on the floor!" "Ciera leaves them around all the time. Once I was coming down stairs and she left a pillow at the foot of the stairs, and I tripped on it and fell all the way down! It hurt a little, but it was mostly fun. I'll have to thank Ciera later with a chocolate cake!" "I really should kick you out, but I won't, because of your cooking and the fact that it wouldn't be nice." "Aww…I think it's because you like me a lot!" "In your dreams!" "Don't be mad Tea. I'm fire and your water, we even each other out." "Shut up Yami! You don't even know what your talking about and f.y.i (for your information) water douses fire." "Not completely true Tea. In cooking, fire steams water for cooking and water takes out, most of the time, raging fire, so we're even. "Why are you so freaking calm about everything!" "Because you're never calm about anything. And what happened to being quiet?" "Oh." "Oh indeed." The lights then came on, revealing the teen sprawled on the floor and revealed to the teens a confused mother and a surprised blond. "Tea… what's going on?" "Busted." Tea thought.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (a little while later)
Tea, Ciera, and Yami was now sitting on the couch in the living room, hearing the argument that was going on upstairs. "Aww… Tea's been a bad girl." Ciera grinned. "Tea hasn't did anything but be kind and generous to me." Yami interrupted before Tea could yell. "How long have you been here? What's your name? Are you a alien?" Ciera stood up looking at the male teen. "My name is Yami and I've been here for 2 months. I don't believe I'm a ET but that would be cool if I am." "All right! Nice to meet ya! Wanna play Clue?" "What's Clue?" "Yay! Playmate!" Ciera ran out of the room and came back with the murder mystery game. After setting it up and showing Yami how to play, Ciera got Tea to play in the game.

"Now James, Tea did something nice and generous to help a fellow human-in-need. From what she said, he was injured on the beach and is good-natured. " Annabelle tried to convince her husband to let Yami stay. "Anna… she kept him a secret from us for two months straight without any help!" "Which shows that our oldest is growing up. Besides, it's not any worse than you hiding a hedgehog from your parents for 7 months straight as a kid. It also makes perfect sense with the strange occurrences for the past months." "What's that's suppose to mean?" James looked at his stubborn wife with amusement. "Well, for one your files were fixed correctly, something I've been trying to get you to do for months. The house miraculously is always clean, even when we left it a mess. The broken toasters and other little appliances in the house were fixed. The VCR actually tells the time now. My garden has been weeded out and cared for, something I haven't time for…" "He turned the roses white!" James interrupted. "I've always prefer white to yellow James and it matches the white patio furniture. Ha! You know, I think I'll get red roses to go with the white ones! Wouldn't that be smashing?" "Anna, for all we know he could be a criminal in disguise! Or a spy!" Anna sighed at her over imaginative mate, and then dragged him outside their room to the landing, where they could see Yami, Tea, and Ciera playing Clue. "Does he really look like a criminal to you?" Anna exclaimed as Ciera started pouting, apparently from losing, and Yami smiling while Tea jumping with glee, probably because the Clue family champ finally meeting her end to a new player.
"James, I think you're just upset because someone in this family can actually keep a secret from you and because you always wanted a son in the family, but never got one." "I blame that on you." James said playfully, nipping at his wife. "Aww… poor baby. It's your fault too you know. And since we're on what you know, which isn't much by the way, he cooks and bakes better than you do, if those were his foods left around the house." James gasped. "Who's better than me!" "The young one downstairs, which is were I'll be." Anna laughed running down the staircase.
"You have to play me again Yami! And make another chocolate-reese cup surprise cake!" Ciera whined to the still grinning teen. "Oh. I do." Yami teased. "That must mean you're my cake thief." "Make the bloody cake. It sounds good." Tea said. "Admit that you like me and I'll make it." Yami responded. "How many times must I tell you? I don't like in that way! A friend, yes. A boyfriend no! Now make the cake!" "Got to catch me first!" Yami ran out the living room, with Ciera in tow. Tea ran after them and the chase around the rooms began. Annabelle came downstairs just then, and collided with Yami as he passed. "OW! Sorry! Sorry Sorry!" the teen apologized over and over again. The mother sat up and hugged Yami. " Ha! I got you! Now you have to make that cake. But first, what's your name?" the teen looked confused for a moment then smiled. "My name is Yami. Nice to meet you at last Mrs. Annabelle Gardner." "Yami, how do you know me already? I just met you." "Tea talks about you a lot, and I listen." Yami spoke as he got up holding out his hand. "So I see, welcome to the family Yami." Anna smiled at the confused look Yami was giving her. "Did you really think we'd throw you out? Nonsense. You do a lot here already, so there's no point in kicking you out. This house is big enough for 1 more, or 10 more if you wanted to picky." Yami smiled at this. "Anyway, both of the girls here seem to like having you around anyway. It would be nice for a good prank every now and then. Although you have to fix the TV, because if I hear Elmo anymore with all of his la la la's I'll go insane! Yami laughed. "I'll make the cake and then fix the TV." He walked in the kitchen, Ciera behind him, leaving Tea and her mother alone." "Tea. You're going to have to watch Yami." Anna smiled. " Um, why? He's 17, I don't think he needs watching over." Her mother then laughed a playful laugh, something known to her family as a sign she was up to something. "Mom… what are you up to?" "You'll see." Anna ran back upstairs to her phone.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Monday)
"So Tea how was your weekend?" Yugi asked at school Monday morning. "Well, Yami was discovered by my family, and my mom is planning evil, but besides that and the mall, pretty basic." " Lucky guy, he's spared from the evil, a time for parents get away from you, torture called school." Tristan mumbled from his chair. "Don't be upset Tristan, the final semester tests are today!" Yugi smiled. An even louder groan came from the group and the class. "Tea? Can we come over after school? I already know I'm gonna bomb this test and I'm going to need a serious pick-me-upper." Joey sighed sadly. "I'm sure that's okay, Yami bakes and cleans when we're not home, and so I'm sure he'll have something." A loud yell was heard from outside the classroom. "Someone's making a break for it." Tristan said wistfully. The yelling continued followed by a bang, a thud, a crash, and a loud scuffle. The teacher walked in just then. "All right class, before our super fun finals, I have an announcement. We have a new student. Please welcome Yami Amir."
"NOOOOOOOOOOO! Anna please! I don't wanna goooo!" Yami screamed from the hallway. "Don't leave me in this torture chamber! You said we were going for kitchen supplies!" "Yami let go of my leg and go in that classroom or you'll never cook again! It's good for you. You passed the entrance exams with flying colors! School is good for you! "No no no no no no no no no no no NO! It's a lie It's lie It's a lie! It's a liiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee! Yami shouted hysterically. "Yami! Stop making a fuss, school isn't that bad." "Then you go in my place!" "Yami! You get in that classroom right now, or I'm throwing the oven out, selling all the appliances on Ebay, and buying you front row tickets to Elmo's World!" The entire class sweat dropped at this statement. "Um. Yami really is dramatic isn't he? He'll be perfect for Drama Class." Tristan muttered quietly. "My poor virgin ears don't deserve this!" "You can take yourself and your virgin ears inside. Here's your schedule. Have a nice day." With that said, Ann ran down the hallway, leaving a very upset student behind. After a few minuets, Yami came in the classroom with the school uniform and a smile on his face, as though the accident in the hallway never happened. Seeing the class staring at him, he responded "Sorry about that, Anna wouldn't let me have my Danish and spinach omelet this morning. My name is Yami Amir, nice to meet you."
Authors Note: For those who wanna know, in their argument, Yami was flipping between Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. For those who already knew that, sorry if I messed that up somehow. Ciera is My OC, but I probably said that already.
