Chapter 7

Afraid

Tea sat in her room the next day. She did not wish to leave her room. She explained to both of her parents what happen over dinner. Both of her parents just laughed making Tea run upstairs to cry and well that matter was never talked about for the rest of the night.

"Tea dear your dad and I are leaving for work." Said Mrs. Gardner.

Tea looked up at her mom and nodded. Tea's mom just sighed and went to sit next to her daughter on the bed. She put her hand on Tea's back and rubbed it.

"Tea I think you misjudged those boys." Said Mrs. Gardner.

Tea's head shot up and turned to look at her mom.

"Mom those boys are weird I mean you weren't there when that boy Yugi…change." Said Tea.

"Tea those boys seemed really nice even the boy with tricolor hair. You know at first I thought he was bad, but he seems really nice." Said Mrs. Gardner.

Tea looked down and just sighs.

"Give them a chance. Well I'm off to work and remember that you have to keep an eye on Jakey since you're not going out. You know what to do." Said Mrs. Gardner.

Tea just nods her head towards her mom.

"Okay bye honey I love you." Said Mrs. Gardner who closed her daughter's door.

"Bye." Said Tea silently.

Tea got out of bed and got change in a black tank top and a miniskirt. She headed straight for Jakey room. She entered Jakey's room and notice that he was still asleep in bed. She sat in a rocking chair near his crib. She looked at Jakey.

Well at least he's normal. Thought Tea.

Tea rocked a bit and then heard the door close from below.

I guess mom and dad have left. Thought Tea.

All of sudden there was a cry. Tea picked up Jakey. Jakey cried a little harder Tea sat in the rocking chair and a couple minutes later he fell asleep.

It's amazing that I know what you want. Thought Tea.

Tea got up from the rocking chair and headed downstairs with Jakey in her arms.

Yugi, Joey, and Tristan went downtown Domino City for the tournament. There is where they met a woman with long blonde hair and violet color eyes that were a bit lighter compare to Yugi. There was a ton of duelist down there some of them looking for good competition and others trying to find easy competition.

"How has everything been guys?" Asked the woman with long blonde hair crossing her arms.

"Just great Mai. Two days ago my sister went in for her surgery." Said Joey.

"That's great, Joey." Said Yugi.

"Yeah. That sounds excellent." Said Mai.

"I better get going." Said Tristan.

"Where are you going?" Asked Yugi.

"Well since you two will be dueling I figure I could go to the hospital to keep Serenity some company." Said Tristan.

"What!" Yelled Joey who tried to strangle Tristan if not for Mai and Yugi.

"Come down man I promise Serenity to come by. She said she wanted know how the duels were going." Said Tristan walking away.

"Tristan." Said Joey.

"Bye and good luck with the duels." Said Tristan running off to the hospital.

"Hey come back here!" Yelled Joey finally getting loose from Yugi and Mai.

Oh well I guess it's fine since Tristan is like family, the annoying cousin. Thought Joey.

Joey turns to Mai and Yugi with a big goofy grin on his face.

"Well I guess I better go and find some people to crush." Said Joey.

"Yeah well if we meet I'll be sure to crush you." Said Mai.

"Yeah, well you're on." Said Joey.

Joey left the group and went down north of Domino City. Yugi looked down in deep thought.

I didn't know I could scare anyone-well my counter partner. Thought Yugi.

"Hey Yugi! You in there!" Yelled Mai.

"Huh…oh sorry Mai I guess my mind was somewhere else." Said Yugi.

"Oh well make sure your mind is in the duel I still want a rematch with you. Well I better go there are duelists to beat." Said Mai going south of Domino City.

"Okay." Said Yugi.

I wish I didn't scare her so easy. Thought Yugi.

/Yugi I'm sure we can come up with some way for Tea to see that we're not something she should be afraid of, but we must find the other Egyptian God Card and be prepare when Merick send one of his followers./ Said Yami through the mind link.

/You like her too./ Said Yugi.

/Yeah. She seemed like a nice girl, but first thing first we have to keep an eye out for Merick's minions./ Said Yami.

/Right./ Said Yugi.

Yugi went east of Domino City.

Tea took a stroller out and started to walk down the streets of Domino City. Jakey was of course giggling.

I know that I can't stay in the house on such a beautiful day. Now to find that park that those three boys showed me. Thought Tea.

Tea turned left and found the park empty.

Perfect. It must be this tournament that everyone was talking about. Thought Tea.

Tea went inside the park and sat on the bench. She turned the stroller out taking Jakey out of the stroller. Tea lay on the ground with Jakey on her stomach resting his head on her flat stomach. Jakey fell asleep on Tea's stomach as soon as he was lain down on Tea's stomach. Tea couldn't help, but smile as her baby brother sleep on her stomach.

"I love you Jakey." Said Tea.

I wonder how Heather is doing. I miss her so much. Thought Tea.

Tea felt herself falling asleep. She started to shut her eyes and before you knew it she was asleep herself.

Yami walked into the park with three clear cards in his hand.

/Looks like we won another card today and they were from Merick./ Said Yugi.

/Yes, but we need to be very careful./ Said Yami.

/I know. What is Merick waiting for? Why can' face me instead?/ Asked Yugi.

/If I had to guess I would say he's trying to weaken us. Which is why we must be strong./ Said Yami.

Yami continues walking until he spots a female on the ground with a baby on her stomach. Yugi appeared for only Yami to see him.

/What is it?/ Asked Yugi.

Yami pointed to the female on the ground and Yugi gasp.

/She could be hurt./ Said Yugi.

Yami gave a quick nod and ran towards the woman on the ground. He gave a gasp.

/It's Tea and a baby./ Said Yugi.

Yami bent down to pick up the baby in his arms. The baby woke up and started giggling a little. Yami looked back at Tea and was looking for any sign of life and saw her chest move up and down.

/Good she's okay./ Said Yami.

/Yeah./ Said Yugi.

/I'm going to wake her./ Said Yami.

/Are you sure about that?/ Asked Yugi.

/Yes. She shouldn't be sleeping it's not safe./ Said Yami.

/Okay./ Said Yugi.

Yami shook Tea's shoulders.

"Tea. Tea wake up." Said Yami.

Tea's eyes started to open very slowly and then open. She looked up and saw the boy she wanted to stay away from. Tea gave a short gasp. She sat straight up.

"It's you." Said Tea.

"Yeah." Said Yami.

Tea saw Jakey in his arms laughing. She reached and took Jakey from his arms almost afraid to lose him. She turns around put Jakey in his stroller.

"Thanks for waking me, but I…I got to go." Said Tea about to make a dash out of the park if it wasn't for Yami grabbing her arm.

"Wait." Said Yami.

Tea turns to face him. Her face full of fear.

"Listen I think we need to talk and I know the perfect place if you want to go there." Said Yami.

Tea looked at him and saw concern. The look that Tea's grandma and friend, Heather would give her if she was worry. Tea took a deep breath.

"Um…sure." Said Tea.

Yami gave a small smirk making Tea give a small blush.

"Great then let's go and I'll explain everything to you." Said Yami.
