A/N thank you to my reviewers! Here is the tenth chapter!

Chapter 10

Talent Show

Yami was silent after I told him of my dream and the two memories I recovered. I noticed a frown on his face when I spoke of my mystery man. I guess this means that my crush on Yami has to end I thought miserably. I can't like him and fall in love with another guy to regain my powers.

"Shelby your leg is bleeding!" Yami said suddenly.

I looked down and sure enough there was a steady flow of red running down my leg from my thigh. "Oh!" I said surprised, "I must have cut myself while shaving" I muttered as I pulled a tissue out of my bag and dabbed at the cut. Funny. If it was just a cut from shaving it shouldn't still be bleeding.

"Here" Yami had changed into Yugi and was offering me a band aid.

"Thank you" I said taking it and putting the bandage on my leg. "Weird. I don't usually cut myself"

Turning the corner we found ourselves at school.

"Thanks for walking me here" I grinned at the violet-eyed boy.

"No problem. And Yami says he hopes your leg is alright"

I smiled at their thoughtfulness "I'll be fine" looking around the courtyard I spotted Joey, "Well I'd better get to class" I said and waved as I ran to Joey.

"See you at lunch!"

a couple hours later me and Joey wandered the halls aimlessly, talking about what our lives were like before I arrived three weeks ago.

"Hey!" I shouted excitedly pointing to a poster on the wall opposite us, "There's going to be a talent show in a couple weeks!"

Joey pointed to the bottom of the poster "and it looks like there is a dance right after it"

"I've never seen a talent show. My school in Canada didn't have them"

"There okay I guess. I wonder if Tea knows? She is a really good dancer so I wouldn't be surprised if she entered"

I stared at the look on his face. It was a goofy happy look. "You like her don't you"

"Hm? Who?"

"Tea!"

"What?" his face was stained a pink colour.

"Ha! See you do!" I smirked triumphantly.

"Well you like Yami" he accused.

"What?" I gasped blushing.

"Oh come on it's so obvious!"

damn it must be really obvious if Joey figured it out I frowned "I can't like him" I continued to tell him about my latest dream and memories but I didn't tell anyone about the pain that still hovered in my chest after my last memory though. "I must find him so I can regain my powers and help my people!" I said sadly.

"You sound fond of them, your people I mean" Joey said softly.

"Yeah I am" I responded but it came out lie more of a croak.

Joey sighed and put his hands in his pockets, "well I don't think you should give up on Yami just yet"

"No?" I looked up at him questioningly.

Joey just smiled and I knew everything would be okay.

"Come on. Let's go tell Tea about the talent show" I said walking towards the cafeteria.

"Yes I know about it" Tea said after we told her about the show. She sighed and set down her chopsticks, "I want to enter but I'm having trouble finding a song with enough feeling in it to dace to" the brunette poked at her lunch miserably. "I want to find the perfect song but I'm running out of time. The auditions are in two weeks"

"Do you want to look through my CD's? I keep them all at the bottom of my backpack, along with a walkman" I suggested twirling a lolly pop I stole off of Tristan.

Ta's eyes brightened, "Really? That would be great! Thanks Shelby!" getting up from her seat she asked "is it okay if we go now. I don't have much time to prepare"

"Yeah sure. Follow me"

"Want us to come?" Tristan asked looking up from his card game with Yugi.

"I'll bring the walkman here if she finds one" I called over my shoulder as me and tea left the cafeteria, "so what kind of dace are you doing?"

"I want to do ballet so I was hoping to find a nice slow song with feeling"

I began running through the list of songs I had in my head when I remembered a certain song my friend recorded for me. "I know the perfect one" I said picking up my pace. We got to my locker and I rummaged around through my backpack for the CD. "Ah ha!" I cried pulling out a silver disk. The cover had an angel clad in a light blue gown on the front. Putting the disk in my walkman I handed the gadget to Tea.

The blue-eyed teen looked confused, "there is only one song on this disk?" she asked.

"Yup" I said pushing the play button.

Tea closed her eyes as she listened to the soft tune and melodious voice. The music and singer's voice weaved together so perfectly it was like listening to an angel. (hence the picture on the cover) "T-This is perfect" Tea said opening her eyes, "but I've never heard this singer before. Who is she?"

"Um actually" I said bowing my head in embarrassment "my friend recorded that when I wasn't paying attention"

"You mean this is you?" Tea asked her eyes widening with surprise.

"Um yea" I felt my face heat up.

"You must sing live for the talent show" Tea said clutching on to my sleeve, "it would make the performance so much better!"

"I-I don't do so well in front of crowds" I stuttered my eyes widening at the thought of even singing in front of my friends. When my friends back at home asked me to sing for them I had to turn my back on them because I was to nervous to look them in the eye while singing.

"Pleeease!" Tea whined pulling out the puppy dog eyes.

"Well I guess I could. How badly do you want to win?" I asked not believing what I was agreeing to.

"Really really badly. The winner gets five tickets to go to a resort in Canada!" she squealed at the thought.

My ears twitched, "where did you say?"

"Um…Canada" she said hesitantly looking at my expression.

"I'm game" I responded immediately.

Tea squealed and hugged me. "Tank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Hey would you mind not telling the others it's me?" I asked

"Yeah sure. Why?"

"I want it to be a surprise"

"Okay. Let's go back and let the other listen to this" she said holding up the walkman.

"Yup" I answered and followed her back to the cafeteria.

"Wow this is really good" Joey said as he, Yugi and Tristan leaned over the table and held their ears to the headphones.

"Yeah who's the singer?" Tristan asked.

"Oh "I said nervously, "uh a friend of mine. She even said she'd come down to sing it live for Tea"

"Cool" Joey said and turned back to the headphones.

The bell rang not long after and I grabbed my walkman. Saying good bye to everyone I went to my fourth period civics class.

"How are you feeling?" Yugi asked as Tea, Joey, Yugi and I made our way to the audition room.

The two weeks had flown by and every spare moment we had, Tea and I spent practicing. My cover to the boys was that I was making her outfit. (I didn't actually make it I got one of my neighbors to)

"Good" Tea responded with a smile as we reached the audition room. "Guys would you mind waiting here while I audition? I want the performance to be a surprise."

"Yeah sure" Joey said

"I'll come with you Tea" I said slipping into the room with her, "then I can help you with your costume"

"Okay"

It was two days later and Tea and I stood impatiently waiting for the results of the audition to be posted. We both had tried our best. Actually I think we did pretty well.

A teacher walked out of the staff room and headed towards us with a piece of paper. "This is it" whispered Tea squeezing my hand. Being the freaks we are, we were the only ones there waiting for the results.

The teacher looked at us and shook her head as she pinned up the sheet of names.

My eyes scrolled down the list looking for our names. "Ah! There we are!" I shouted pointing to the two names side by side. We both screamed and hugged each other while jumping up and down.

Pulling out a bottle of white out Tea covered my name up. "There" she said screwing the lid back up, "Now no one will know your performing with me"

"Thanks Tea" I grinned and we left to go to our first period classes.

It was two days before the talent show and I sat alone under a cherry blossom tree eating my lunch. Tea had a student council meeting and Tristan and Joey were playing basket ball with some boys in their class. I couldn't find Yugi anywhere so I decided to eat out under this tree. It's so peaceful here. I closed my eyes and breathed in the scent of the sakura blossoms. A shadow blocked the sun and I opened one eye to see who was there. "Oh hey Yami" I said opening both eyes.

"Hey" he said sitting down beside me.

He looks so hot in his uniform. No! Bad Shelby! "So what's up?" I asked forcing a smile.

"Mmm nothing really. Had any more dreams or memory flashbacks?"

My face fell. So that's what he wanted to talk about I thought miserably. "No" I said and started to pick at the grass. We sat in silence for awhile. "So…er are you going to the dace?" I asked trying to make conversation.

"Yes probably" he turned to look at me, "Has someone asked you to go with them?"

I blushed, "A-actually yes someone did. But I turned them down" I said quietly looking down at the pile of grass I had made.

"How come you turned him down?" Yami asked looking slightly hopeful

"Well…" I said twiddling my thumbs, "I was kind of hoping someone else would ask me" I blushed a dark red.

"I see" Yami said, "Well I hope you end up going with him." He said moving closer to me, "Just remember," his face was almost touching mine and I felt my blush grow deeper, "to save a dance for me"

My eyes widened. He's so close!
