Disclaimer: I hear by claim that I have no ownership to Yu-Gi-Oh big or small. Except... Well I do have a few cards... Anyway... I Own Aki Ueda, I own Rei and I also own Yukari Soryo.... So... Nah! (Sticks out tongue) Here is Chapter 4... it only gets worse for Aki and Téa from here on out.

He pushed open the door to the bar and took a seat at the counter. "Why, look who it is!" A deep voice called from the door near the lighted fridge. "Aki Ueda! Haven't seen you since... hmm, when was it? Oh, yeah, since you told me you had a new girlfriend, one less sluttish than the others. So how's the relationship?" Aki folded his arms on the countertop and dropped his head into the hold of his arms. "That bad?"

"She told me she loved me. She told me today." Aki moaned into his arms.

"I see. You know what your problem is Aki?"

"No, Rei... Why don't you tell me." He said lifting his head and glaring at the bartender who keep his chin length red hair in a simple ponytail.

"You... have... commit-a-phobia." He said like it was a real medical condition.

"I have what?" Aki demanded, sitting right in the stool. Rei went and opened the fridge and pulled a beer out and popped the top, handing Aki the beer bottle.

"You have problems committing to any person, place or thing."

"I commit to places."

"Really. How many jobs have you gone through? How many times do you show up here after finding some other bar? How many girlfriends have you gone long term with and how many pets did you say you gave up for adoption? And last I heard from your dear mother is you keep giving her all the plants you buy."

"Hmm... I have a real problem. Look, it's nothing against Téa, I mean she's my longest girlfriend, twelve months... almost a year."

"Wow..." Rei said leaning against the opposite side of the counter. Aki drank from the long nose of the bottle and slammed it down, obviously upset.

"Why'd she have to say it Rei. I mean I could feel how she felt and that didn't scare me off, but the moment those words slipped through her pretty little mouth I just froze. I didn't even stick around to wave good-bye to her and now I have to go out with her friends, that don't even like me, tonight and her dance recital and I mean I just won't feel right around her anymore."

"Aki, it sounds like a problem you're going to have to take care of." Aki nodded sadly and turned around when the door opened.

"Rei... There you are... oh, my... God! Aki!" All blond hair and pretty faced. The girl he had known from childhood and hadn't seen since came running over to him, slipping her jacket off her body and letting it slip to the floor.

"Yukari Soryo! Wow look at you... not the slender freckled face girl I knew." She blushed and jumped into his arms.

"What are you doing here, Aki?" her arms were wrapped tight around his neck, but not tight enough to cut off his oxygen to his lungs. He held her, his hands flat against her back.

"Aki comes here to dri—!" Rei ended in a groan as Aki slammed him in the chest with his fist.

"I show up once in a while. How long have you been coming here?" He asked as she pulled out of his embrace and smoothed down her white halter-top. Brown eyes sparkled as she looked at him with a knowing smile.

"I work here now. Rei gave me the job last week. Believe it or not this place gets really busy at night." Aki smiled, choosing to believe it.

"I've got to run." was his ultimate answer, however.

"Aki, no! Rei, make him stay."

"It does get pretty wild at night."

"Please, Aki! I'll buy all your rounds, stay tonight."

"Odd... now I can't refuse." Yukari jumped up onto Aki's lap and thanked him over and over again. Somehow going out with his girlfriend and her friends faded from his thoughts and like said the bar got really busy and not only busy but wild. Drinking contests and dancing and blaring music. It was wild and as promised Yukari bought all of Aki's drinks.

...

"I'm sorry about tonight, Téa." Yugi said and went to rub her back. She pulled away, clearly upset.

"Don't say anything else Yugi. You know if you four were better to Aki he would be here. I know he would. He would be here."

"Téa..."

"No! Look, there's my dad. I'm out of here." She rushed over to her father's red Dodge and got inside and they drove off. Yugi looked over at Joey who shrugged.

"Maybe she's right, Yuge. We don't treat Aki as nice as we could."

"He's wrong for her. I know he is. This is the first time he's done something wrong to her and she won't admit it. But a wrong stumble could cause you to fall. She's going to trip Joey I can feel it."

Téa ran into her room and without getting out of her clothes or coat she fell into her plush bed, face buried in her pillow and she began to cry. What was his excuse? Was he okay? Suddenly the worst scenarios went whirling through her mind. She sat up on her knees and picked up her phone, dialing Aki's number. He always had his cell phone with him, always. She listened to the steady ringing her mind willing him to pick up the phone. Suddenly it clicked.

"Hello?" it was a female, laughing and loud music and screaming could be heard in the background. "Aki Ueda's phone, who's.... Aki! Aki, go slow with that one!" She giggled. "Who's calling?" Téa hung up. She looked at the phone in her hand and her thumb down on the button that ended the call. A girl had picked up his phone and it sounded like he was at a party, probably drinking. She let the phone roll from within her hand off the bed and bungee from the cord. Tears rolled down her cheeks quickly and all she could do was stare blankly at her door. ...? Went through her mind.

...

"Who was that?" Aki asked looking at Yukari, who stared at his cell.

"A wrong number?"

Lady Moofin: Oh me too! I am so obssessed with Seto Kaiba... that smirk... those eyes. His hair when its all wind blown, and the plus is he's so tall and well built (Dreamy sigh)

Peeps: Yeah! I'm so glad you like it and think its original. Plus I'm glad you read another of my work.
