A/N: I'm so sorry I haven't updated in ages. College has just started and now it's like I don't have any time! But I'm continuing the story. It just might take me a little longer than I first thought!

1/3 Jewels of the Sun

Lesson Number One

Yugi stood with his feet firmly planted and a smug expression on his face. He faced his opponent squarely and held out his hand expectantly. "Look its not like I'm gonna go buy anything lethal." He stressed as the man opposite him gave him an uncertain stare.

"There ten extra each. And if I find out you've been spending it on something other than healthy cafeteria food I'll come down on you like a ton of bricks I swear." Yami did his best to look stern but failed and ruffled his little brother's spiked up hair instead. "Go on scram before I change my mind." He said with a grin.

"By the way: cafeteria food is lethal." Yugi informed Yami before darting out of the shop with Rebecca and started towards the local high school. Yami gave a small laugh as he remembered the cafeteria food when he was Yugi's age. It seemed like things hadn't changed much in that department.

Yami turned start on getting the shop ready for when it opened. It was Friday and he was expecting the kids to come running home after school to spend some of their well earned allowances. He stood at the door of the back room and stared at the mess; cardboard boxes some empty some full were hazardously piled in the room, some packets of the monster cards he had only just ordered had fallen out of their wrappers and were now spread across the floor.

Yami's face paled when he stared at the looming doom; he was going to be in here most of the day sorting this out. As if the phone had heard his silent plea for a distraction it began to ring shrilly from its place on the desk in the shop.

Yami didn't hesitate to pick it up. Anything to put off the tedious task of trying to sort out a couple of thousand duelling cards! "Hello Kame Game Shop how can I help you?" he asked politely.

"Yami? How are you? Sorry for calling at such a late hour but I really needed to talk to you. Did I wake you up?" Solomon Mouto's voice rang out from the other end of the line.

"Grandpa! How's England? Are you and Dr. Hawkins coming back to Japan soon? And it's not late; did you forget about the time difference again? Tea's class are putting on a play are you coming home to see it?" questions flew off Yami's tongue one after another. On the other end he heard his grandfather give a small chuckle.

"Ah yes well you see something quite interesting happened in the British Museum yesterday. Well Arthur was rather determined to see their Egyptian display, well it is our specialty." Solomon rambled on.

"Grandpa did you get into trouble again?" Yami asked trying to keep his smile out of his voice.

"No no nothing like that. And you stop laughing young man." Solomon chuckled over the line.

"Okay so what did happen? It didn't involve you two getting arrested again did it?" Yami asked slight concern edging in his voice. Early on in the elder men's adventure they had accidentally pissed off a police officer that was intent on making them stay the night even though their flight left early in the morning. Kaiba finally sorted it out by using his hacking skills and Kaiba Corps reputation.

"Oh ye of little faith. Well there was a police man in it."

"Grandpa…" Yami groaned.

"But it didn't involve handcuffs or a cell." Solomon quickly put his eldest grandson's mind to rest.

"What happened?" Yami asked tiredly.

"Well we went to the British Museum to take a look at their Egyptian exhibit. Arthur was quite adamant to see it; well as we were there we saw that this tablet was mistranslated. Well being experts we climbed over that little wire that was guarding it and translated it properly. But you see we both forgot about the alarm.

So one of the security guards comes rushing down the hall, you know they should be more careful around old men like Arthur and me. He nearly made me have another stroke. Anyway, Arthur explained to him about the mistranslated tablet and the guard, nice young man named Barry took us to see the curator.

Well now it seems the curator wants us to check all the Egyptian pieces to help translating some of the ones they had difficulty with and make sure they translated the others all properly." Solomon Mouto finished his story with a triumphant note in his voice.

"So…you're staying in England?" Yami asked softly. He wasn't surprised about his grandfather being better at Egyptian hieroglyphics than the curator of the British National History Museum, his grandfather was fluent in the hieroglyphics and had always seemed to outdo everyone but Arthur Hawkins in Egyptian translations. It was probably why they were such good friends.

Solomon gave a small sigh. He knew his eldest grandson would take it worst than Yugi. Probably because Yami had always been afraid that if their grandfather weren't there he'd do something wrong, like make the shop go bankrupt or somehow make Yugi mad and that'll distant them as brothers.

"Yes for the time being, then we'll want to finish our tour of course so it'll be a while before we come back home." Solomon hastily reassured Yami.

"Okay grandpa. I'll call you back when Yugi comes home, then you can talk to him as well. Bye."

Okay it had to have been a dream. There was no scientific answer, strange men do not disappear into thin air leaving a diamond twice the size of your thumb behind; it doesn't work like that! Or at least it's not meant to.

Tea sighed and checked over the diamond again. It seemed authentic enough, she should take it to a jewellery dealer or expert to really be sure but she didn't fancy trying to explain how she found a rare gem that was so large. ' Yes well this guy claiming to be a god pop into thin air and left it with me… hey what's with the straight jacket?' yeah that'll go down well. Not.

Maybe she should show it to Yami. Tea suddenly remembered the kiss they shared. She sighed again, ever since she was thirteen, the only thing she wanted more than the dancing was Yami Mouto. Tea blushed as she remembered the fantasies and daydreams she had of him claim his undying love for her.

Besides she was content with just being his friend…okay now she was lying to herself, she wanted to be a lot more than just friends. Tea stared at the glossy rock in front of her, she hadn't shown anyone not even Tatiana. In fact she was sure Tatiana would laugh at her story and then ask her if she had been getting enough sleep.

Tea gave up trying to think of a possible answer and stuck the stone n the pocket of her jeans. She walked to where Tatiana's old bedroom was, three months after their mother died Tatiana convinced Tea to move into their mother's room and make her old room Tatiana's. Tea then changed Tatiana's old room into her dance studio. At the far end of the room there was an old sewing machine that was surrounded by fabrics and sequins and fake gems littered the floor around it.

Tea had only just started making the costumes for her play, she had started on the princesses first and it was taking forever. It was lucky that some of the mothers of her dance students were making some of the costumes but it still left her to do the princess and fairies costumes in just under two weeks.

Tea sat down behind the sewing machine and decided she'd put a good hard day into finishing those costumes.

"Mokubah have you decided when you want to have your friends round for that sleepover I promised you?" Seto asked his little brother; he was currently working on his laptop while Mokubah played with his play station 3.

"Yeah…nooo you're meant to jump Mario not fall down that bloody hole!" Mokubah screamed at the pixel hero, a bleeping sound was heard and another pixel Mario came on screen with a message claiming Mokubah was out of life points.

"Well when do you want it?" Seto demanded his cold blue eyes glaring from over the top of his laptop screen.

"Hmmm? Oh I was thinking maybe when Tea has her dance rehearsal. You know so she and Yami have plenty of privacyyyyyy" Mokubah trailed off when he realised what he had just said and saw his brother looking disapprovingly at him.

"Mokie… you're not trying to match up Tea and Yami are you?" Seto asked softly.

"Why not? They're perfect for one another if they just open their eyes for long enough!" Mokubah declared passionately.

Seto glared at Mokubah for a moment before shaking his head sadly. "Let them sought out their own problems Mokie. I don't want Yami hunting me down 'cause you had to be cupid."

"Don't worry our plan can't fail!" Mokubah claimed excitedly.

"Our? Oh no, please tell me that you aren't doing this with Rebecca and Yugi." Set groaned.

"Okay then I won't." Mokubah smiled.

"Mokubah!"

"Well you did say not to tell you. You won't say anything to Yami or Tea will you?"

"No. I actually value my head, because Yami or Tea are going to rip yours off when they find out your playing matchmaker!"

"He's not going to find out, our plan is foolproof you see it goes like this…"

"I don't want to know."

"Oh okay then."

"And we never had this conversation, got it?" Seto asked his little brother. He couldn't believe that Mokubah would do something so risky!

Yami spun around when he realised where he was. The cliffs of Ireland where green and rolling, the sea was roaring behind him, he could hear it crash against the rocks.

"These are going old Pegasus." He called out.

"There is no other way for me to contact you. Unless you'd like to look crazy. I've told you, only you and the other chosen can see me."

"What do you want?" snapped Yami.

"When are you going to talk to young Tea about your kiss?" Pegasus asked coldly.

"This is none of your business! Why won't you just leave it alone?" snarled Yami.

"Because until you admit how you feel I'm stuck in this world! I can't go home until the curse is broken and Cecelia is free to be with me."

"Why did you curse yourself?" Yami asked his voiced hushed.

"I was angry and a fool. I hated both Cecelia and myself in that one moment. I cursed us because I was hurt and I believed that Cecelia had refused me because she wanted to hurt me." Pegasus shook his head sadly.

"If you don't mind me saying; you were an idiot." Yami told him bluntly.

"I was." Pegasus agreed sadly. "But that is no excuse for you to be."

"I'm not an idiot. And I don't think its any of your business what I am or what I do." Yami snapped.

"Its everything to me. I have told you before!" Pegasus snarled. He took a moment to collect himself before talking again. " Now what are you going to do about young miss. Gardner?" Pegasus asked with a small smile as he turned to leave.

"That's none of your concern!" Yami shouted after him but the wind drowned his voice out and he couldn't be sure if Pegasus heard him. At the moment the words left his mouth he found himself awake in his bed.

"Hey Yami what's up?" Tea said softly as she answered the phone later that day.

"I was just wondering if you're free anytime next week?" Yami sounded slightly uncomfortable over the phone and Tea couldn't blame him. How were you meant to act with your best friend after they snogged the life out of you?

"Uh…well no not really cause the play will be coming up. Maybe sometime after then?" Tea asked sounding genuinely sorry.

"How about after the opening performance? We can have a quite dinner to celebrate as Yugi Becca are going round Mokubah's for a sleepover that night." Yami suggested.

"I'd love to it sounds wonderful Yami." Tea answered excitedly. They both hung up at the same time and Tea sighed softly. Their friendship was still there. That kiss hadn't broken them up like she had feared. Everything was going to be just fine.
