Chapter 23
A Shocking Day
Monday Morning
Domino City
Tea's house
Tea stretches her arms and gave a huge yawn. She gets out of bed and goes to the bathroom to get clean up. She puts on a black sleeveless shirt and blue shorts. She puts on a blue jacket. Tea looks into the mirror and notices the necklace that she gave Atem and the necklace that he gave back to her for a memory or him.
Flashback
Tea and Atem stood at the entrance of the tomb. "I want you to have this, Tea." Said Atem. He held out the silver necklace that Tea gave him in order to recover his name. "Why do you wish to return it to me?" Asked Tea. "Just something to remember me by and I doubt I can take this into the afterlife." Said Atem. "Oh." Said Tea. Tea takes the necklace and puts it over her head. Atem gave her a smile that would make any girl blush. Of course Tea gave a very light blush. "I'm glad I had you as one of my friends you were a great help to me and Yugi." Said Atem. Should I tell him how much I really like him? Thought Tea. "Well we better get going down in the tomb for the duel everyone is expecting us." Said Atem. Atem walks on ahead. Tea walks behind him.
End of flashback
I didn't even tell him how I felt or how I still feel about him. Thought Tea. She gives a sad sigh. Well it's a little late he must hate me for waking him up and I really don't blame him, but did he really have to try to be rid of me. Thought Tea. She walks out of her room to the stairs. Well I'm glad I have Tom now. He's a sweet guy who helped me. Hey my parents are finally home I haven't seen them over twelve years and that is way to long for me. Thought Tea. She runs down the stairs hoping to finally see her parents and spots a letter from her parents. She picks up the letter and heads for the kitchen. She goes into the kitchen and sits at the desk and starts to read.
Tea-
Hey Tea it's mom. Your father and I are going on another business trip. I'm sorry we could not stay longer. We'll be gone for a couple days. I promise that we'll be home soon.
Love,
Mom and Dad
Tea folded up the note and gave a sad sigh. My parents are hardly ever home. They are either on vacation or on a business trip. Thought Tea. Tea grabs her black tennis shoes. You know I feel real lonely when they're not here and what's worse I didn't even see them last night. Thought Tea. She puts one tennis shoe on and ties it. They just seem like they are never here. Thought Tea. She gets the other shoe on. Well I need to take a small walk. Thought Tea. She opens the door and was about to exit when she sees Yugi standing in front of the door. "Um. Hey Tea." Said Yugi. "Oh, hey Yugi." Said Tea. "Do you mind if I come in?" Asked Yugi. "Of course not." Said Tea. She allows Yugi to come inside. Tea closes the door behind him. "Do you mind if I ask why you came here?" Asked Tea. Yugi goes and sits on the couch in the next room. "Yugi." Said Tea. She walks into the room Yugi walks into there was a light from the Millennium Puzzle. Tea backs away a little. Atem looks up at Tea. "Tea can we talk?" Asked Atem. "About what!" Snapped Tea. She crosses her arms. "We need to settle this whole thing." Said Atem. Tea was about to leave the room. "Spellbinding circle!" Yelled Atem. Tea turns and screams when there came a green ancient circle that came and bind her. Tea felt a little weak. "What? How are you doing this?" Asked Tea. Atem lifts up his Millennium Puzzle and Tea looks at it. Tea's eyes went from angry to sad. "Can you move them please. I promise I'll listen." Said Tea. "Alright." Said Atem. He would never would do this to anyone or the people we fight against. Thought Tea. The Spellbinding circle vanish. Tea walks into room and sits on the floor on the opposite side of the couch. There was a desk that separate the couch from Tea. She sat on the floor and looks up at Atem. Atem of course sighs and looks down. "Listen I want to apologize for trying to get rid of you." Said Atem. Tea look very shock and then remember that the pharaoh could actually apologize. "I want to apologize from the chase to betraying you with the kiss and use our friends against you." Said Atem. "Why apologize now?" Asked Tea. "Well you see Yugi and I talk a bit this morning and he told me how I had hurt you and he was right I did hurt you a lot and for that I apologize." Said Atem. "I'm sorry too." Said Tea. Atem looks at her in shock. "I mean I did wake you and your friends from your resting place." Said Tea. A tear came loose from her eye. "Listen let's start over ok." Said Atem with a small smile. Tea gave him a small smile. Atem comes around the table and gives her hug and Tea returns it. They finally break from the hug. "Ok I came here to teach you some more combos since we'll be working in a team." Said Atem. "Do I need to get my deck?" Asked Tea. Atem nods his head. "Okay I'll be down in a minute." Said Atem. Tea leaves the room leaving the room. /I'm glad you two made up./ Said Yugi. /Yeah thanks for giving me the talk on my actions./ Said Atem. /Well it just comes to show that you should listen to me more./ Said Yugi. Atem nods his head. /Atem do you still plan on grabbing Tea's witch cards?/ Asked Yugi. /I have to Yugi they must know something about the deal and why they left Teana./ Said Atem. /You mean like the weird dream we had last night./ Said Yugi. Atem nods his head. /Yes Yugi.
"I'm afraid this is goodbye Teana." Said Scarlet. "But you guys promise not to leave." Said Teana. "I know honey, but we have to go Teana." Said Whita. "I'm sorry Teana." Said Darka. "But look on the bright side the pharaoh said you can stay with him at his palace." Said Scarlet. "I thought you said to look on the bright side." Said Teana. "Teana please respect the pharaoh." Said Whita. She looks at Teana in the eye. "Why can't I just stay here in the market?" Asked Teana. The three women look at each other and sigh. "Teana you are way too young to be by yourself. You know you can't work until you are at the age of twenty or have your guardians with you." Said Darka placing a hand on Teana's shoulder. "Those laws are stupid." Said Teana. "It is the law made by the great pharaoh." Said Whita. There was a knock on the door. Whita went to open the door where there stood Simon, the advisor of the pharaoh. "It is time for the girl to come now." Said Simon. Darka nodded at him. "I'll meet you soon just let me say goodbye." Said Teana. Simon nods his head and moves from the doorway. "You better go." Said Darka. Teana first hugs Whita then Darka and then Scarlet. "I'll miss you. You guys were like family to me." Said Teana. "We'll miss you to Teana. You were like a little baby sister to us." Said Darka. "Teana promise not to forget us." Said Teana. "I would never." Said Teana. Teana walks to the doorway and turns to wave goodbye. Scarlet, Whita, and Darka return the wave.
/That was weird why would we dream of Teana's memory of leaving?/ Asked Yugi. /I don't know Yugi./ Said Atem. /You would think that Tea would dream this instead of us./ Said Yugi. /Unless we some how became connected./ Said Atem. Yugi gasp in the mind link. /Let's just hope that Tea does not getting dreams about the arrangement of marriage and agreement made by her guardians./ Said Atem. /I guess the reason why I had the dream too because we are connect again./ Said Yugi. Atem just nods his head. /Well let's not bring this up to Tea or around Tea for that matter./ Said Atem. Yugi nods his head. / Atem did you really think Tea look very beautiful this morning?/ Asked Yugi. /I didn't think that./ Said Atem. /Yes you did./ Said Yugi. /Did not./ Said Atem. /Did to./ Said Yugi. This mind link went on until Tea enters the room. "I'm back." Said Tea with her deck in her hand. "Ready to start?" Asked Atem. "Ready." Said Tea.
Minutes turn to hours and pretty soon it came to being in the afternoon. Atem taught Tea more card tricks and moves. Tea made them a meal in between that time. Tea then notice her phone ring. Tea picks up her cell phone. "Hello…Hey Tom…What? Really…That's great what time do you want to meet….right now…okay I'll be there." Said Tea through the phone line. Tea closes her phone up and gets up. "That was Tom he said he found a place where we can have a picnic." Said Tea. Atem begins breathing a little harder. "He said he would bring the basket that was prepared. I better go on out." Said Tea. "Tea are you sure you should go out in that?" Asked Atem pointing at Tea clothing. "Yeah why what wrong with them?" Asked Tea. "Well it's supposed to get really cold out and you don't want to catch cold do you." Said Atem. "No." Said Tea. "Then I suggest you go on and change into something warmer." Said Atem. Tea rushes upstairs to change. /It's not suppose to get colder it's suppose to get hot./ Said Yugi. /Opps I guess I'm not good at reading the weather channel./ Said Atem. /Sounds like someone is jealous./ Said Yugi. /Quiet Yugi./ Said Atem in a commanding voice. /Okay almighty jealous pharaoh Atem./ Said Yugi. /Yugi! That's enough!/ Said Atem. The two finally stop talking about Atem's jealousy or his behavior since he denied that he was jealous to himself and Yugi.
A couple minutes later Tea came down the stairs in long blue jeans a blue jacket and what look like a long green sleeve shirt. "I better go we both agree to meet there at the park." Said Tea. "Can you come over tomorrow at my house for practice in Duel Monsters." Said Atem. Tea nods her head. "Sure." Said Tea. She opens the door for Atem and they both leave the house. The sun was still high. Tea goes one way while Atem heads the other way. /I'm impress you didn't take the cards and you didn't follow Tea to the park./ Said Yugi. /Of course not I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship and I'm afraid Tea would think I took them since we we're at her house./ Said Atem. /When do you plan on taking Tea's cards?/ Asked Yugi. /When she comes over at our house and one more thing./ Answer Atem. Atem lifts up his Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl card and calls forth the two magicians. "Follow Tea, but stay hidden." Said Atem. They nod their heads and follow behind Tea who wasn't that far. /Why did you need to call them forth?/ Asked Yugi. /Just in case Tea needs help or gets hurt./ Said Atem. I would really like for Tea to really be on a date with me instead. Thought Atem. Yugi shook his head, but didn't say anything Yugi coming back to the witch cards. /Why not just ask for them?/ Asked Yugi. /Because she would wonder why I need them and if I told her there could be a chance that she thinks I'm keeping something from that could not be good./ Answer Atem. /Oh./ Said Yugi. /So where are we headed?/ Asked Yugi. /Home I think everyone else is practicing for the upcoming duel competition./ Said Atem. /Great, we can rest some more./ Said Yugi. /You sure have gotten lazy./ Said Atem. /Have not./ Said Yugi. Atem just chuckle.
