Author's Note – Thanks to Fleeting Illicit Delicious, mystralwind, and Nagael for the reviews so far!
"Well, I guess she could qualify as something of a tsundere…" Tristan scratched his head thoughtfully.
"What's a tsundere?" Yugi glanced up at Joey and Tristan curiously.
"Well that wouldn't work unless-" Joey came to a complete halt, causing Yugi to bump into him. His eyes met Tristan's.
"-unless her anger was to hide her intense love for one of us." Tristan finished and he and Joey slowly pivoted to look back at Tea. Bringing up the rear of the group, she didn't appear to be listening.
"WHAT?!" Yugi's jaw dropped and he glared sharply up at the two boys, both significantly taller than him. "She couldn't –T-tea wo-wouldn't—WHAT IN THE WORLD IS A TSUNDERE?!"
"You really need to learn to tune them out, Yugi." Tea continued walking leisurely. "I have, and my life's the better for it."
"T-Tea likes J-Joey and T-Tristan?" Yugi's face was bright red now.
"You just have to say that because it's out of character for you to let the object of your affection know your true feelings." Joey grinned at Tea.
"I'll show you out of character!" Tea reared back her hand and slapped Joey in the face.
"I've never experienced a Tsundere-slap before!!" Joey called as he toppled to the ground.
"Don't get so mad, Tea. I actually think you'd look good in a pair of twin tails." Tristan said.
"Do you want some of this too?"
"Well actually…"
"T-T-Tea l-likes…" Yugi's eyes were bulging.
Wow, you're a complete wreck. Better take over before you have a heart attack and kill us both. A deeper voice said as a transparent figure appeared and began floating next to Yugi. The figure looked very similar to Yugi, except slightly taller, with a different hairstyle and slightly more mature face.
"Yugi, what are you worked up about?" Tea asked, kneeling down next to him and putting her hand gently on the back of his head. He gasped and jumped a bit, then quickly relaxed his shoulders. Tea pulled her hand away in shock as he rose to his feet, standing somewhat taller than before.
"Oh-sorry Pharaoh." Tea blushed a bit.
"No problem, thought I'd swap him out before his heart exploded."
"Before whose heart exploded?" a soft male voice asked from behind. The Pharaoh turned to see a boy with light-colored, messy hair.
"Hey Bakura, about time you got here. Say, which do you prefer – Tsunderes or glasses girls?" Tristan asked, throwing his arm around Bakura.
"Tuna-what?" Bakura looked puzzled.
"Yeah, which kinda moe girl do you go for?" Joey appeared on the other side of Bakura, nudging him with his elbow.
"Moe?"
"Oh great, not again…" Tea groaned, walking further ahead and dragging the Pharaoh along by his sleeve.
"Bakura, where exactly did you transfer from again? Mars?"
"Yeah come on, you know what moe is! You know, that feeling of warmth you get from seeing your favorite type of girl." Joey said, his eyes sparkling.
"You mean like how I feel when I see Paula Abdul's cheerful smile encouraging people who can't sing on the TV?" Bakura replied softly.
"No, no, no! I meant like an anime or game girl, and one who's adorable!"
"Wait, wait, wait, Paula Abdul can totally be moe!" Tristan glared.
"No she can't!"
"Dude, she's Paula freaking Abdul, she can be anything she wants."
"Look, Bakura," Joey turned away from Tristan, "it can't be moe if there's any kind of attraction of a sexual nature involved…"
"What about eroge?" Tea chimed in.
"Oh-ho! Didn't know you were into such things, Miss Prim and Proper!" Tristan shot back at Tea.
"What's an eroge?" the Pharaoh struggled to pull away from Tea's firm grip, to which she responded by clenching her hand around his wrist even tighter.
"Glad you asked, my good Pharaoh…"
"NO NO and NO! I am SICK of hearing all of this geek talk!" Tea growled.
"Geek talk?!" Joey snorted. "Why Tea, you're starting to sound a little like a certain stuck-up rich boy I know."
"Am I? Well hanging around with him watching the Stock Exchange would be more fun than listening to you two morons go back and forth all day!"
"Oh would it? Well why don't you just go do that, then!" Joey snarled.
"Maybe we will!" Tea yelled back, and quickened her pace, still gripping the Pharaoh's arm.
"Hey, what's an eroge?" The Pharaoh repeated as he and Tea slowly separated from Joey and Tristan.
"Man, she probably would make a good tsundere." Tristan said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, if she wasn't such a bitch. There's no redeeming lovey-dovey aspect to her whatsoever." Joey rolled his eyes.
The two boys continued onward, not realizing that they were missing something.
Still frozen in place far behind the others, Bakura stared blankly after them.
"I-I-I never meant to imp-imply anything improper about her! I just like her smile—that's all! Honest!"
Author's Note Part Two – I realize a lot of people will still be confused regarding some of these terms – Wikipedia and many other sites have real definitions on them, the ones given here are more for the purposes of this story and in no way all-encompassing.
