Yugioh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi. If it did, this story wouldn't exist
Day 1-Night
Driving back home that night wasn't the same. Atem was doing everything he could to cheer Mana up after he had broken the bad news to her about his grandfather. Plus the death of her mother had doubled the pain she felt inside. He glances at her then back at the dark road which was lit by cars and street lights.
Her arm was resting on the arm rest and her head leaning on her hand. Her eyes were low and her eyes slightly puffy from crying. They arrive at the house and he puts the key into the lock, twisting it and turning the knob to open the door. Mana stands outside with her eyes to the ground and Atem turns to her.
"Mana? Aren't you coming inside?" he asks. Her eyes gaze up to his worried ones and she nods.
'Darn it Mana, stop making him so worried,' Mana thought sitting with her legs close to her chest on her bed. The lights were off except for the street light outside her window. 'I wonder how I am going to accomplish my task.'
She looks out the window and sighs. 'I guess I won't know until it comes to me.'
Day 2
Mana watches as Atem goes back and forth in the kitchen as she takes a bite of her cereal the next morning.
"Yes, I'm still here," he says over the phone. "Yes…right…okay….really?" Mana yawns, getting bored of his conversation and continues to eat. He puts his black leather jacket on that went well with his black pants and a white shirt that went underneath. She nearly chokes on her food when he suddenly raises his voice.
"RIGHT NOW!?...Alright, I'll be there." Mana hits her chest and starts to cough as he hangs up the phone. He turns her attention to Mana who was just sighing in relief that she hadn't choked to death.
"I need to run. Do you want to come?"
"Uh…sure?"
YGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYGOYG
Mana leans on the black convertible with her arms folded and a bored look on her face. She was waiting for Atem to come out of a building. He had went there to receive a new order of games that he needed for the game shop that he ran after grandpa had passed.
"Hey you!" Mana turns her head to see a police officer approaching her and she stands up straight.
"Uh…hi…" He grabs her arm and leads her away from the car. "Hey! Where are you taking me!?" Mana yells trying to free herself from his grasp but it was no use.
"You know exactly where you're supposed to be at this time," he replies, dragging her to a steel building.
"Hey! Wait! I'm not supposed to be here! GAAAAAH!"
Mana sits in a seat with a pout on her face as paper planes and paper balls fly over head. She had told herself earlier to ask Atem if he had any extra clothes, but now that didn't matter. Because she was wearing her uniform, the police had mistaken her for being a current student at Domino high school.
Her eyes widen when she sees the teacher. She had brown shoulder length hair, blue eyes, and she was wearing a grey skirt and a white dress shirt.
"T-TEA!" Mana yells and she quickly covers her mouth as everyone looks at her strangely. Tea recognizes the voice and gasps.
'No way,' Tea thought. 'But I thought…' The bell rings and Tea puts some papers down on the desk.
"Er…hello class. Today you will be having…" her eye catches Mana again who waves slightly. "You're having a study period." She motions Mana to go out into the hallway and Mana nods.
"But how?" Tea asks in surprised, pulling away from a hug as they stand outside of the school.
"It's a long story," Mana replies, scratching the back of her head.
"The first period is fifty minutes; we have plenty of time."
"Okay…"
Meanwhile, Atem carries a box to his car and puts it into the trunk. He closes it and gasps when he didn't see Mana anywhere in sight.
"Mana?" He looks around the car and across the street, but there was still no sign of her anywhere. He slaps his forehead and sighs heavily. "Oh great. She found a great time to get lost," he mutters before getting in his car.
"So you came here from the future? And you only have ten days to get back to your time?" Tea asks and Mana nods after she got through explaining everything. "I just can't believe you're actually here…standing in front of me right now."
"Yeah. You've grown so much but look at me. I haven't aged in five years," Mana says and Tea chuckles. "You know, Atem's been telling me about everyone else's reaction to my death. But he never told me his."
Tea leans on the building and thinks back on that day.
Flashback
The doctor came into the waiting room where Atem, Tea, Yugi and Grandpa were. Tea quickly stands up.
"How is she doctor? Did she come out of her coma?" she asks. The doctor bows his head.
"I'm sorry, but she wasn't getting any better. So we decided to take her out," he reveals and Atem stands up.
"You WHAT!?" he yells, causing everyone's attention to go to him.
"I sincerely apologize."
"YOU KILLED HER!"
"Atem, please stop this," his grandfather says, standing up beside him.
"YOU TOOK MY BEST FRIEND AWAY!" Atem says, attempting to lay a punch on the doctor but Yugi holds him back.
"Stop it bro! Don't do this!"
"Let me go!" Atem screams, as Yugi drags him away. "MURDERER!!" The words echo through the Tea's head as Yugi continues to drag him away.
End Flashback
"Whoa…That's not like Atem," Mana says.
"I don't think I've ever seen him get that angry." The bell rings and Tea looks at her wristwatch. "I should be going now. Before you leave, don't forget to say good-bye alright?"
"Alright." Tea turns to leave but stops when Mana calls her name.
"Yes Mana?"
"Can you do me one favor?" Mana asks with a smile.
Mana runs down the sidewalk wearing a new pair of clothes. She was wearing a navy blue mini skirt and a blue sweatshirt with a hood. She was glad that Tea had an extra pair of clothes for her to wear. Plus, now that she wasn't wearing her uniform anymore, no cop would come up to her and drag her back to school.
She runs across the street without looking and because of that, she didn't notice the black convertible zooming toward her until a loud screeching sound fills her ears and she turns to see the car about to hit.
Mana shrieks and prepares to be hit, but just in time, the driver of the car stops just centimeters away from her body. She smiles when Atem turns out to be the person in the car.
"Oh, hiya Atem!" she greets happily.
"Are you nuts!? You could've been killed!" he yells, grabbing her by the shoulders.
"Sorry," she apologizes and he sighs.
"Get in."
"Ooh! Ooh! Hey Atem!" Mana says with excitement and her fists clenched.
"Hm?"
"Can we go see Yugi!?"
"Yugi? Are you…sure you want to see him?" he asks, keeping his eyes on the road.
"Of course I do, he's my friend. Why would you ask that?"
"…It's nothing. Alright, we can go."
Hm…I think Atem is hiding something. Oh well you won't know until you review so I can post the new chapter.
