A/N: Hey there everybody! I wanted to say thanks to very one who read my other stories (Mostly Yangs, Tai'sgirl23, yugisweetheart A. Valentine, dbzgtfan2004, Kyosuke-kun and Almandine-Azaleea,) and I hope I'll be able to write more when I'm done with this story.

My next YugiTéa story is going to be called "Rich Kid", were Yugi is nice rich boy, who all he ever wanted was a friend (besides Yami). When he comes to Domino City, he never thought that he would become friends with the beautiful Téa Gardner. Will there relationship work or will they have to good bye?

But that story is going to come out when I'm done with this story. So to bring it out quicker, here's chapter 8.

Chapter 8: Explained

Téa was walking through the halls of the palace, wiping out her tears. Why did she run off like that? Why was she crying? Could she have bend falling for this cute ruler?

No. She couldn't. He was going to marry Rebecca, so why on earth would he care about her?

'Because he kissed you and was worried sick about you when you left.' Her mind answered.

'Oh shut up!' the negative side said.

She continued down walking through the halls, not caring that she could get lost. Fortunately, the hall she was at led her to the palace garden. It was a beautiful garden with flowers organized from roses to violets. In the center of the garden there was a small pond. She kept on looking around when she noticed in the far back left corner there was a big beautiful cherry tree. She walked to it and sat down, underneath the branches.

'What should I do?'

She closed her eyes and stayed like that for a while before a voice was heard. "Alone are we?"

Her eyes snapped open and looked up to see that guy that saved her on top of the high branch. "What do you want?" she responded back, not answering his question.

"You're probably wondering how in the world I'm your brother, right."

Téa nodded and he continued. "Well, I can't tell you here or else someone might interrupt us. We'll have to go to my place."

"How can I trust you?" she asked him.

His blue eyes met hers before answering, "You got to have faith."

She gasped. She would always be saying that to her step brothers when they were young so how would he know that?

"Alright then."

She climbed onto the tree before her cape got stuck on a branch. "Shit."

She pulled onto it until it came out but didn't notice that a piece of it stayed on the branch. When she was finally on to the top with the brown haired guy, he jumped off to the other side, telling her that once he was at the bottom, that she jump too and that he'd catch her.

Normal, she wouldn't do what a stranger wanted her to do but this guy claimed that he was her brother and she felt that she must trust him. But he did come true, which she was more than graceful for, and the rode off to his home. (His horse was waiting at the bottom.)

When they got there, Téa was surprised at how the house looked like. It was a small adobe house that looked like no one lived there, but there was smoke coming out of the "chimney". The house had a fence and a small hole as a window.

"That's where you live." She asked.

"Yup. No very fancy but its home."

'Tell me about it.' The blue eyed girl thought.

They got off the horse, and knocked on the door. (Horse went to get some hay that was in the background).

"Why are you knocking?" Téa asked. "Isn't this your home?"

"Yeah but the doors are locked."

She was about to say something but a soft voice from the inside of the house called out. "Who's there?"

"It's me Mokuba."

'Mokuba?' the girl blinked.

The door opened to relieve a small, black-haired, ten year old boy. (Is Mokuba ten years old?) A huge smile appeared on the young lad's face. "Zachary! You're here!"

"Zachary," The girl repeated. "is that your name?"

"Yeah. It's my name and Mokuba, don't get warmed up with me, I brought a guest."

"Really! Is it that nice eighteen year old lady that works at the fruit stand?"

"No!" Zachary yelled, turning red.

"When who is it?"

"My sister." Then he pushed over Mokuba and led Téa in. She took this chance to look around. It was one big room with two other ones at the side. The big one had the table and three chairs. Next to the window was a chair. The other two rooms she guessed was maybe their bedrooms.

The same warm smile greeted Téa as he hugged her. "Welcome!"

She giggled at his cuteness and hugged him back. "Nice to meet you too!"

Zachary rolled his eyes. "Sorry to break this up but I came to tell Téa some things on how we are related."

"But Zachary." Téa spoke. "Who's Mokuba? Is he your step brother or son?"

"No. He's Kaiba's little brother."

"Who's Kaiba."

"Kaiba," Mokuba said, ", or Seto has I called him, is a priest that comes from Qinā, another city in Egypt. He weal's the Millennium rob and is a harsh man."

"Then why aren't you with him?" But then she saw his hurt face and said softly. "If you don't mind telling."

Mokuba shook his head. "No. I'll tell you. We were in an argument about Seto teaching me how to be a priest. Three years ago…"

Flashback…

"I don't want to be a priest." A seven year old Mokuba said stubbornly. "I want to go outside and play."

"You're not always going to be a kid Mokuba. You'll have to learn soon!" a thirteen year old Seto said.

"But I'm barely seven!"

"That's the time I started! So it's no exercise! Father died when I was ten, so how about if I die when I'm fifteen? You'll have to take over and you won't know what to do!"

"I don't care! I don't want to be priest! I just want to have fun!" Mokuba yelled.

"Then leave if you want! That will be more fun than anything else in the world!"

"Maybe I will!" Then little Mokuba was about to go to his room before Seto yelled out.

"GO AHEAD! I DON"T NEED TOU! I HATE YOU!"

The black haired boy had tears in his eyes as he started to run to his chambers.

End of Flashback…

"So at night I left and Zachary found me and decided to let me stay here, as long as I was good." Mokuba concluded.

"Oh Mokuba. I'm sorry. I'm sure he didn't mean to say that."

"Yes he did. And I bet that he doesn't remember me anymore."

"I'm sure he does."

"Anyway, I've never seen you before. How come? Were you guys in a fight as well?"

Téa shook her head. "See, I'm from the future and Zachary claims to be my brother I want to know why." She turned her gaze to the other boy, who had kept silence the whole time, waiting for an answer.

Zachary sighed. "Okay. I did bring you here to know how we are related as brother and sister so I'll tell you now. This started out 16 years ago."

Flashback…

"Daddy, I want to see my new baby sister." A young Zachary demanded. Right now, he and his father were waiting in the waiting room of the hospital.

"What's a hospital?" Mokuba asked.

Zachary was about to tell him to wait but Téa answered it for him, "It's place were babies are born, or hurt people go to get healed."

"But didn't they have priests?"

"No! Ask questions later! Right now, just listen to the story!" said an impatient Zachary.

"In a minute Zachary. As soon as the doctor says then we'll go."

"What are you going to name her?"

"We're not so sure."

"Can we name her Téa, huh?" Zachary gave his biggest pair of eyes ever to his father.

The dad smiled. "Well why not?"

"YAAAAAAYYYYYY!"

That's when the door opened and Zachary's mother's doctor came out. Zachary ran up to him and asked, "Can I see my baby sister now?"

The doctor smiled and said that he could. So Zachary and his father went into the room where the two girls were. "Mommy!" he said happiness. His mother smiled and put her finger over her mouth to show him that the baby was asleep. "How are you my dad?" she whispered, kissing his forehead.

"I'm fine." He whispered back. "What are you going to name the baby?"

"I haven't thought about it much, why?" Z.M's asked grinning.

"Because I have the prefect name!"

"Really? Do you want to tell?"

"Yup! It's Téa!"

"Why, that's a beautiful for name Zachary."

Zachary smiled proudly. "I'm glad I thought of it!"

"Yes. And maybe we should name her that, right honey?"

"Of course." His father spoke. "It's a good thing we have a smart boy to help us out, right dear?"

"That's what I was thinking too."

"WAAAAAAAA"

The three of them bounded when they heard that cry. "Oh dear." Zachary's mom whispered.

She got out of bed and walked to the baby's "crib". (I don't now what those things where you keep the babies called, sorry).

"There, there." She whispered to her child. "There, there. Mommy's here."

"And so is Zachary!" Zachary said.

The small baby stopped crying and looked up to these new voices.

"May I carry her mommy, huh, can I?"

"Alright. But be careful."

So little Zachary sat down on the bed next to his mother as she placed the baby in his arms.

"Wow. She's so light." Zachary's mother nodded her head.

"We are going to have so much fun in the future, Téa; that's your name now." He continued. "We'll play video games and puzzles and watch movies and…" The parents smiled heavenly as they saw how good their son was to the new; he was so happy!"

Then a knock on the door was heard and the doctor came in. "Well, hello." He said. "I hope I'm not disturbing anytime."

"Well, not at all sir." Zachary's father said.

"Yes. I was hoping to talk to you in private." The doctor was gesturing Zachary to get out for a moment. The parents nodded. "Sweetie." The mother spoke. "Why don't you go and play with all the other children in the playroom?"

"okay mommy." He gave back Téa before going to the playroom.

End of Flashback

Téa was in shock as well with Mokuba. "Wow." Was all she said.

"Yeah." Mokuba spoke. "I can't believe they had a 'playroom'."

"Okay. That's one question down but how were you sent to Egypt?" asked a nervous Téa. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. How her name was picked and everything. And she knew that he wasn't lying because how was he suppose know about hospitals, doctors, and playrooms.

Zachary sighed. "I'm not so sure myself. All I remember was that it was a normal day and we were coming back from the park…"

Flashback…

Zachary was holding on tight to his mother's hand as they crossed the street. He, his mother and three month baby sister were just coming back from the park. On the other side of the street, Zachary's father was bring in a new mirror. "Hi daddy!" he called.

The father put down the mirror and smiled as his family was coming in. "Well, hey there! Who's birthday is tomorrow?"

"Mine!"

"Well let's go inside and plan how we're going to spend it."

The parents and baby Téa went inside and just as Zachary was about it come in too, he notice that Téa's rattle had fallen out of the baby bag. (He found this out by using the reflection of the mirror that was outside).

Without looking both sides, he crossed the street, not noticing the car coming until it was too late…

End of Flashback

"And for some reason, I was brought here instead of being dead."

There was a long silence, before Téa spoke. "You're just like me. It was brought here with no reason either."

"Yeah, but I could of gone back. But I chose not to."

"What! Why!"

"Because you would to if you saw and hear what I did."

Flashback…

Ten year old Zachary was working on the fields (a family had taken him in) when he bumped into a man.

"Oh, sorry." He said.

"Don't pretend to be what you're not boy." The man spoke.

"Huh, what?" Zachary was confused. Who did this guy think he was? And what did he mean by that?

"You're from the future. You where sent here at the age of five. I can send you back if you want?"

The boy beamed! "Really! You can mister! Oh, thank you, thank y-"

"But you must do something for first before deciding."

"Is it a good thing or bad?"

"You answer that question when you see it." Then there was a light before disappearing into the dark.

(Scene Changed)

"Huh?" the boy asked, "where am I?"

"You're in front of your home, see." The man spoke next to him.

It was the same house! Same location and everything! He was about to run over there (he was in spirit form) when he saw three kids in the front yard. One was a female, his baby sister, which he was about to cry at the sight of her! But they other two he did not know.

"You can't catch me, Joey!" Téa called as he ran after her.

"That's so not true, sister!" he yelled back. Zachary blinked. 'Sister'.

"She's too fast for!" the other yelled out. 'Joey' stopped. "Hey! I thought you were suppose be on my side! You're my brother."

"I'm her's too you know."

"Joey's right." Téa said. "He could catch me, if he has faith."

The three young children continued to play together with Zachary standing there in shock. 'How could this have happened?'

Then he turned his head and saw his parents at the porch, talking to themselves. "I hope this was a good idea, honey." He heard his mother said. "It will never replace Zachary."

"I have no other choice, dear. We must start a new life."

"I know. But I miss him."

"I too, my love but we have to live with the past and move on to the future. He no longer exists and never will."

"But how about if comes back?"

"We will tell him he's got the wrong parents, and to go back were he came from. He is no longer our son."

Little Zachary gasped when he heard this and started to cry. The man that took him here came by next to him and asked, "Do you still wish to stay here?"

He stiffed before answering, "No." But before they went away, he took one last look at his sister.

End of Flashbacks…

Téa stood up and as she was about to yell at Zachary. "You still should of stayed!"

Zachary turned his head around, avoiding her eyes. "You heard what they said, if I would have returned, they would of just kicked me out."

"No they wouldn't! They loved you! They were just upset that you were gone for 5 years!"

"You're wrong!" he said back to her. Standing up as well. "You don't how much it hurt me back then, and it still does! Besides, if I wasn't here you would have been a bigger bruise than that under your eye!" (Remember, chapter 6)

"Then come back to the future with us." She whispered. "I'm not sure how Joey, Tristan, and I are going to get there back, our parents are dead, and you don't have to worry about rejection."

She had tears coming out of her eyes. He was, her lost long brother. The one she never got to know because of her parents' harsh words.

"I can't. I won't." he said. "I'm happy here and besides, who will take care of Mokuba?"

"His brother will."

"But Téa! I can't go back there! I bet Seto forgot about me! Don't make me go!" Mokuba pleaded.

"Mokuba." He said as she approached him, placing her hands on his shoulders. "I know I barely came and I have never meant your brother but listen, if there's one thing I know about family is that they never forget about you. If maybe I was six when Zachary disappeared then I would have missed him. I'm sure your brother misses you too, very much."

"Can't it wait a bit?" he asked. "I mean, after you get to know him and then you can tell me if he's changed. I want to know if he does miss me."

Téa smiled. "Alright Mokuba, we'll wait a bit. But I don't want you think I'm forcing you or anything because I'm mean. I just want you have your family back together, like I do now."

There was a silence before Zachary spoke. "Well, I think it's time to go to bed. You'll have to get back in the morning."

He sat down again and gestured his bed to Téa. She thanked him and went to his bed while Mokuba did the same thing on his. The two younger ones were fast asleep while Zachary looked outside the "window". He remembered what Téa said to Mokuba, about having her family back together. Don't take it wrong, his adopted parents and Mokuba were like family to him but he never had a related person with him. He closed his eyes too before going to bed.

"Have you found her?" asked a worried Joey.

"Nothing." Mai replied. "Oh, this is all my fault."

"Mai." He said seriously. "It wasn't your fault. I don't what happened inside my sister's head but you had nothing to do with it."

"Are you two still up?" a voice asked coldly. They turned around to see Priest Seto.

"What do you want?" Joey asked while glaring at him. But of course, this didn't work.

"I just came here to tell you two to sleep. They pharaoh already has his so called 'guards' on high ground. You don't need to worry about this sister of yours."

"Thanks for the advice, but you don't need to worry."

"I'm not worrying, it's just if the pharaoh doesn't get this girl before tomorrow night's festival, well, he's not going to be pleased.

"Why do you care about what the pharaoh gets? You may be his helpers but I don't think you're one who cares about him this much."

"The reason I'm saying this is if he doesn't get this brat then he'll be pissed off and mess up the whole festival and put Egypt to shame and that will put me to shame."

"You know Kaiba, just because you don't have anyone, that doesn't mean you have to call my sister a brat."

After that being said, Kaiba turned around and walked straight to his chambers.

"Got you there, a rich boy?" he shouted to him with his fist in the air and a smirk on his face. He was expecting Kaiba to say something back but got shocked when Mai grabbed his arm. He turned to her to see a serious but sad face. "Don't ever tell him that again Joey."

"huh? Why not, that could be my advantage."

"Joey, three years ago his little brother ran away. Of course, he had no one to turn to so we just assume that he's dead. Though he wouldn't show it, I think he doesn't want that to happen to you, he does have a heart."

Joey stood there, shocked. How in the world was he suppose to know that Kaiba had a brother, KAIBA! He knew he shouldn't have judged him, after all they barely met.

"I think Kaiba's right." Joey said after awhile. "We should go to bed; we'll see what happens in the morning."

Mai nodded her head; they both said good night and went to their chambers.

A/N: Yay! Done with chapter 8, my longest chapter ever. Thanks for all you guys that reviewed me on this and other stories.

Til then Dark Shining Light
