Fireworks exploded into the sky concluding the end of the forty eight hour time period and Yugi, Joey and Yami all got their ten star chips and head towards the castle with Tristan and Tea along with them.
It's time; we are one step closer to rescuing Grandpa. Yami thought not realizing that Tea had stopped in front of him and chased into her.
"Sorry Tea, I wasn't paying attention." Yami said as he got up.
"No problem, I wasn't paying attention either." Tea blushed as Yami held out his hand towards her.
"Thanks," Tea said before bending down to take up their bags and handed Yami his.
"You two love birds hurry up, before nightfall." Yugi said from the top of the stairs.
"Come Tea or else they think we are doing something dirty." Yami smiled.
Yugi, Joey and Yami place their star chips into the gate and enter the castle. As they walk though the castle, they came upon a guard with dark shade who said, "Welcome duellist and guest. If you would please follow me to where Mr. Pegasus and the other finalist are awaiting."
They nodded before following him towards the diner room. "Have a seat and Mr. Pegasus will be here any moment."
Yami sat at the far left end of the table with Tea beside him and Yugi, Joey and Tristan sitting across from them. "My, my if it isn't the geek squad, I see you all made it in, even the mutt." A familiar voice said from far end of the room.
They turned to see Mai walking towards the table saying, "I hoped you would have made it Joseph, that way I can defeat you." She grinned.
"In your dreams!" Joey laughed.
"Listen here, you little..."
"Lady, sit down and stop talking so that we can start the festivities." The guard had returned.
Mai sat down, pouting while the guard continued; "Now ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Mr. Maximillion Pegasus." Pegasus walked out grinning while looking at Yami's puzzle.
"Welcome duellist and guest. You four duellist have beaten all the rest and came out as the best. Now for the arrangement of the quarter finals, look to the monitor in front of us." Pegasus pointed out. While several butlers came out with soaps.
"As you can see there are four numbers 1-4. Whoever gets 1 and 2 will face off tomorrow afternoon while 3 and 4 will face off the other morning and the winner from each of those matches will face off the next day. Then the winner will face me in the afternoon." Pegasus sat down.
"Duellists, look in your soup and you will find a golden eye, containing a number." The guard said.
Yami, Joey, Yugi and Mai look into their soups and took out the eye. As they open it and took out the number Joey said, "Who is got number 4?"
"I do Joey." Yami said sadly.
"So that means, I am going to face you tomorrow Mai." Yugi said.
"I can't believe it; I am going up against my best friend." Joey said.
"We knew this was gong to happen, Joey and know we just have to give it our all." Yami smiled. "And no matter what as long as one of us makes it to face Pegasus, get back Grandpa's soul and win the prize money for your sister."
Joey nodded in agreement before they finish their meal and head off to their rooms.
"Good night guys."Yugi headed into his room, yawning.
"See you guys tomorrow." Joey headed into his room.
"Good luck." Tristan walked into his leaving Yami and Tea in the hallway.
"Good luck Yami, I know you guys can beat Pegasus." Tea encouraged him.
"Thanks Tea for that." Yami smiled as he moved closer to her.
"Yami I have...I want to say that I..."
"Yes Tea, please go on." Yami encouraged her.
"I...never mind, it is not important." Tea sighed.
Yami sighed as well, wanting to hear those three words.
"Good night Yami." Tea said before going into her room but stopped when Yami said, "Good night, and Tea have sweet dreams."
"You too, Yami." Tea smiled before closing the door. Yami did the same and lay on his bed sighing before reaching for his bag and took out his journal.
Wait this isn't mine its Tea's. We most have switch bags when we fell, I better give her back. Yami thought. Maybe after I read one page.
Yami opened the journal and said softly,
September 6
It's the first day back to school and I meet a guy that I have fallen in love with. I know I only just met him a couple hours ago but I think that he is the one. I only hope I can find the courage to tell him. Oh, what am I going to do? He is the only guy that ever made me feel this way in my life.
"Tea is in love with another guy. I wonder who he is and if he dear hurts my beautiful, intelligent talented princess I will sent his mind to the shadow realm." Yami said.
Yami flipped though the page to try and find out who is this person.
September 20
It's been two weeks since school started and I have fallen deeply in love with him even more, but I have no chance with him. All the girls in school is chasing after his heart, what chance do I have, when he can have one of the dozens of girls running him down. Why do I feel this way?
November 30
Yami and I kissed after he defeated Kaiba and I really enjoyed it. I am happy the guy I love gave me, my first kiss; I just wish he felt the same way about me.
Yami started to smile as he kept on reading.
Yami is going to duellist kingdom to rescue his grandpa's soul and I know he is more than likely bring Yugi alone with him. Joey, Tristan and I will find a way to go with them, for support. We told our parents that Mr. Mutou would be taking us to the great out doors for the week and they really brought it. I see this as a start of an adventure and maybe I will finally work up the nerve to say, I love you, to Yami.
Yami closed the book and said, "Tea loves me. My beautiful Tea loves me." He placed the book back into her bag and got up to relieve his feelings for her.
Tea took a deep breath as she lay on her bed and took out her journal only to realize it was Yami's.
"Maybe if I take a look at just the first page, I can find out who is the girl that he loves." Tea said.
September 6
Yugi thought it would be best to write down my thoughts. Where to start? Okay today was the first day of school for me, which went surprisingly well. Yugi introduced me to his friends and after much laughing from Joey and Tristan about how I came into this time, they believe it which I am thankful for. I met the most amazing and beautiful girl today. The first time I saw her, she took my breath away and since then I seem to have this warm substation, whenever I am around her. I think I am falling for her.
Maybe just around page wouldn't hurt... Tea thought.
October 13
It's officially I am definitely in love with her. Her beauty, grace and charms are unmatched and I can't seem to get her out of my mind and dreams. Her sweet perfume intoxicate my scenes, her smile lights up my world and her eyes are the most beautiful gems, I have ever saw, they are properly more beautiful than any diamond I had owned as pharaoh. I love her with my whole heart. Now I just need to tell her and hope she feels the same or else I will lose her to another guy. Not like that will be a problem since I will send them to the shadow realm for touching my most precious angel.
I feel so stupid, I am madly in love with the most beautiful girl on earth and I am too chicken to tell her. Imagine what kind of pharaoh was I, if I can't even confront a girl about my feelings. Maybe the fear of scaring her away is what is stopping me.
Oh Tea, I wish I could hug you tightly, in my arms and never let you go. To kiss your soft skin and gaze upon your beautiful body as you rest on my chest.
Tea blushed as she closed the book.
The girl Yami was talking about was me, I … Tea thought before running outside to be greeted by Yami about to knock on her door.
"Here is your bag Tea, we must have switched it when we fell." Yami said before Tea kissed him.
Yami dropped the bag, enjoying the wonderful feeling of his mouth against hers and hugged her waist as the kiss got deeper. After two minutes they parted and Tea said, "Yami I love you too."
"What? How did you know?" Yami hugged her still.
"Sorry I read your journal and I –"
Yami kissed her lips passionately. It was so addicting, so wonderful, that they never wanted to part but due to the lack of air, they release.
"I love you Tea and I have a confession I read yours, as well." Yami said while blushing.
Tea blushed as Yami revealed the same feelings for her as she did for him. It was one thing to read about it but another to hear it.
Yami smiled as he walked into his new girlfriend's room and locked the door.
As they sun rose, Yami woke up and saw Tea lying on his muscular tan chest while his arms hugged her bare waist and smiled as he thought about the events of last night.
Yami kissed her lips to wake her up. Tea returned the kiss with equal passion and moaned as their tongues danced into each others mouth.
"Good morning, love," Yami smiled.
"Good morning, my pharaoh." Tea kissed him
Tea smiled as the memories of last night rush though her mind. "Yami, last night was amazing!"
"You were beyond amazing last night, my love," Yami kissed her "I can't believe it was your first time." He said playfully.
"Believe it, you are my first." Tea pouted. "Yami, do you remember the last time, you did it?"
"I don't remember anything from my past, Tea, but my heart is telling me that you are my first, love." Yami replied. "Tea, I think we have enough time to do it again. Are you up for it?"
"Yes, I am." Tea kissed his neck. Yami moaned as he hugged Tea's waist.
"Morning guys," Yami said as he and Tea sat down across from Yugi, Tristan and Joey.
Yugi grinned before asking, "Yami, did you enjoy your sleep?"
"Yeah, I had a wonderful sleep, why do you ask?" Yami began to eat his breakfast.
"I couldn't get any sleep last night because I heard screaming, moaning and a head board banging against the wall for most of last night and early this morning."
Yami and Tea blushed deeply while nervously playing with their food.
"Um, guys we want to tell you something, Tea and I are going out now." Yami blushed as he hugged her waist.
"OH MAN!" Tristan and Joey said as they took out their wallet and handed Yugi five dollars each.
They both looked puzzled as Yugi grinned. Yugi saw the looks on their faces and said, "We had a bet about when you two would get together and I won."
"YUGI!" Tea and Yami yelled.
After breakfast, the gang, plus Mai when to the dueling arena.
"Lady and Gentlemen, we are going to start the first duel of the quarter finals. Now for the first duel, we have Yugi Mutou against Mai Valentine. Let the duel begins." Croquet, Pegasus's right hand man said.
