This chapter is going to have plenty of more peachshipping lol. At the same time, there's more Atem bashing Tea if you guys enjoy that. I know I do lol. As much as I love peachshipping, I hate revolutionshipping. I like a good Atem bashing Tea. At the same time, he's also gonna be saving Tea's butt. This is important, because they are slowly becoming friends. Review please!
Atem and Joey were walking to school together. Hanaski was sick this morning, so the two decided to walk to school instead of taking the bus. Atem was missing Joey's company and wanted to hang out with his friend as much as possible. It also beat dealing with another word from Tea. She was becoming a bigger pain since finding out about Yugi.
Though, Tea knowing Yugi's existence did have it's advantages. Yugi appeared alot when Tea was around, so Atem could avoid Tea easier. Atem was also thankful for Tea knowing about Yugi since he had a huge crush on the girl. Now that Tea knew of Yugi's existence, she was able to comprehend the weird acting. In fact, Tea got along better with Yugi than Atem. They enjoyed each other's company. In fact, Tea started blushing red often around Yugi. That was the only thing that made Atem sick, but at least he didn't have to date Tea if her and Yugi were going somewhere.
Atem noticed that his best friend had a bandage on his cheek. He was involved in some sort of fight or something.
"Hey Joey, what happened to your face?" Atem asked.
"Eh, just got unlucky this morning," Joey explained. "I ran into four punks and they decided to beat the crap outta me. At least they got what they deserved."
"Wow, four guys? Man, he must be lucky," Yugi said, his spirit floating by his brother.
"I'm surprised you're not in the hospital," Atem smirked while letting out a chuckle.
"Whatev. At least I'm not running into..." Joey exclaimed before Atem saw something coming down from a construction site.
"JOEY! LOOK OUT!" Atem warned his friend while pulling him away from the falling object coming toward them.
"Sorry!" A worker apologized. "You kids okay?"
"I'M CURSED!" Joey cried before Atem rolled his eyes.
"No, you're not," Atem glared. "Curses don't exist..." He then remembered the millennium puzzle. "Scratch that. Curses don't exist unless they contains some sort of dark magic."
"Wait, I thought you didn't believe in that stuff anymore."
"I didn't, but..." Atem said before looking at his puzzle. "Ever since I solved this puzzle, I've been feeling some sort of abnormal magic beyond my control."
It was true. Atem had not only met Yugi since solving the puzzle, but felt dark magic inside his every bone and body. Yugi knew how to control this magic, but Atem didn't. He thought at first that only Yugi could control it, but found out that wasn't the case. Atem had control over the dark magic as well. It was powerful, VERY POWERFUL. Atem tried not to mess with it, but it sometimes came out without him knowing it. Yugi would point it out if Atem used any magic.
"What do ya mean?" Joey asked with his eyebrows raised.
"A few days ago, I got into a fight with some punk. I was trying to fight back and next thing you know, the guy was paralyzed. Grandpa did say whoever solves the puzzle possesses dark magic. I think I might possess it. I'm... still trying not to use it."
"Cool, but scary," Joey responded. "Anyways, are you sure you weren't just seeing things or something?"
"You don't have to believe it you know!" Atem glared. "If it was really that dangerous, I would've took your advice of selling it on ebay."
"You're lying," Yugi grinned. "My puzzle contains my spirit, so you wouldn't give me up for a million bucks."
Atem rolled his eyes at Yugi while he was chuckling. The boys made it to school. When they entered inside, there was a massive line of girls. Atem rose his eyebrows while following where the beginning and end of the line was. Tristan came running down toward the two guys. Atem's eyebrows furrowed as Tristan came over next to them.
"What's going on?" Atem asked.
"There's a fortuneteller," Tristan replied. "His name's Kokurano from the Senior class and rumor has it that he can predict the future."
"Psychic? Now I've seen everything!" Atem laughed with his arms crossed. "I'm interested in meeting him."
"Same here! I'd like to get my fortune told," Joey gleamed.
"Hey, have you seen Hanaski?" Tea asked from the right.
"Aren't you supposed to be in line?" Tristan asked. "All the other girls are getting their fortunes told!"
"I'm not that interested," Tea claimed while rolling her eyes.
"Yeah, she's got her future set for America," Atem smirked. "Besides, what I'm interested is how this kid tells his fortunes. If he can impress me, than I'll get my fortune told."
"What do you mean?" Joey asked.
"Fortunetellers tell the future based on the past. It takes skill to learn to do that, believe me," Atem claimed.
"And how would you know?" Tea smirked with her hands on her hips.
"Let me give you a demonstration," Atem said with cockiness. "You just called Hanaski a few minutes ago, but his phone was busy, so you thought maybe we would know."
"Impressive," Tea complimented.
"How'd you do that?" Tristan asked dumbfoundly.
"Hanaski said he hadn't received any phone calls when I was on the phone and I called several minutes ago. Not to mention Tea's right hand held her cell phone and was putting it in her bag while running and asking us about Hanaski," Atem replied.
"Observation and knowing a person's background. That's how someone can predict a person's future?" Joey asked as Atem nodded in reply.
"Wow, that's cool," Yugi gleamed.
"So, what are we waiting for? Let's go to this Kokurano!" Joey smirked.
Atem nodded before facing Tea and saying, "Oh, and Hanaski's sick today."
"Oh," Tea nodded before her and the rest of the guys ran to Kokurano who was sitting at a small stand.
There were so many girls, the gang was starting to stand out. Atem didn't really care since he wasn't around to get his fortune told, but Joey was a different story. He was so embarrassed, he felt a blush hit his cheek bone. He looked at Tea and a smirk appeared on his lips.
"Well Tea, let's see what your fortune is!" Joey said aloud as Tea's eyes popped and glared furiously at him.
"Hey! You're the one who wanted to get your fortune told!" Tea glared as Atem let out a sigh.
"Quiet! Kokurano needs concentration to be able to receive a prediction!" One of the girls yelled.
"I predict you will live a long life," Kokurano predicted to a random girl who then became filled with joy.
"I KNEW IT!" The girl gleamed. "You're sooo impressive."
Atem sighed while rolling his eyes. So far, Kokurano wasn't impressing him with his predictions. They seemed to be random things that could happen to anyone. In fact, his words were like the texts inside a fortune cookie.
"Who's next?" Kokurano asked. Atem was able to get a good look at this fortuneteller. He had to hold back a laugh. All these girls were goggling over this guy who was more chunky than a hot potato. He was so ugly, Atem swore that birds died by the looks of this guy.
"Tea, how 'bout you go first?" Joey suggested before feeling a shaking of the earth.
"Oh shit!" Atem shouted as the whole school made panicking noises. Kokurano didn't seem fazed by this at all.
"Whoa, that was some quake," Tristan said.
"I know," Atem agreed.
"Hey you," Kokurano called pointing to Joey. "A while ago you said 'I wanted to get my fortune told', but I am no ordinary fortuneteller. Most..."
"Can we hear the fortune or do we have to hear your blabbering speeches that are more pointless than Tea's?" Atem asked unimpressed.
"I HEARD THAT!" Tea shouted.
"Very well, I will show you proof," Kokurano smirked before showing a piece of paper that read 'An earthquake will come today.'
The whole school clapped with impressed faces. All the girls were gazing over Kokurano and talking about how impressive he was over predicting that. Atem, however, didn't seem fazed.
"Wow," Joey gasped.
"Still not impressed," Atem said in boredom. "You could've had a stack of papers with random stuff in it. I did that sort of shit to barter money off of girls too. Don't believe me, you can ask Blondie over there." He pointed to a long haired blond girl with freckles. She seemed shy and meek.
"He... he has a point," The girl agreed shyly.
"You dare doubt Kokurano's predictions?" One of Kokurano's girls shouted.
"I'm just saying that he's not impressing me," Atem shrugged. "This is just coming from a guy who once told fortunes and predicted the future based on skills. If this guy is really psychic, than he can make magic happen."
"I'll give it a try," Tea shrugged. She was starting to be amused over Kokurano's fortune. Tea knew those things never happened, but it didn't hurt to try. She held her hand over and Kokurano took it and started feeling and rubbing it. Atem smirked even deeper.
"Kokurano, I know you're trying to predict Tea's future, but I didn't know you had chemistry too," Atem teased before Tea shot the teen a glare.
"You're such a jerk, you know!" Tea shouted.
"Thank you," Atem smirked. "But even I can see this guy is not a virgin."
Kokurano glared deep hot red while Tristan and Joey chuckled. They other girls around Kokurano shot daggers at Atem, but he seemed unfazed. It was natural for people to hate the way he trash talked. Kokurano glared at Atem. Kokurano knew Atem was right about wanting to get his hands on Tea. Her hands were so soft and her beauty was magnificant.
"Ah, I see it!" Kokurano shouted loudly. "I see... I see..."
"Tea's a bitch? Yeah we already know that," Atem teased before Tea slapped him across the face. "OW!"
"Yes!" Kokurano started. "I see a wonderful man. He will appear before you and you will surrender your heart and soul to him."
"OH GOD! TEA'S GONNA LOSE HER VERGINITY?" Atem cried aloud before Tristan died in laughter along with several other random guys who were around for some reason. Tea, this time, punched Atem right across the face. "Ok, ok, I'm done, but seriously!" Atem laughed before getting up, wiping his tears off, and then facing Kokurano with seriousness in those deep violet eyes. "I know what you're thinking and I've been on that road. If you lay one finger on Tea, I will make your life a living hell!"
Though Atem hated Tea, he knew she was innocent as far as her virginity was concerned. Atem knew that curtain lines were NEVER to be crossed. Tea was a virgin and Atem was not going to let anyone take advantage of the girl. Joey could see this and he knew that Kokurano was crossing that line. He furrowed his eyebrows. Yugi was furious and had been since Kokurano rubbed Tea's hand.
Tea gasped at this reaction. She had never seen Atem like this. In fact, Tea wasn't sure what Atem was mad with Kokurano about. Kokurano became very angry and hot headed. He stared deeply into Atem's eyes. They seemed to be have a blinking contest. The girls backed a few feet from the angry men.
Kokurano needed a way to get rid of Atem. The fortuneteller mistaken Atem's reaction being of a guy protecting his girlfriend. Kukurano showed a deep smirk.
"I see your future, Atem," Kokurano smirked. "Countless words from heaven will pour down on you!"
"I'll make a note on that, but you keep off Tea, you hear?" Atem warned before leaving and signaling Tea to join along. "If you don't, I see a timeout in your future." He was referring to Yugi's timeouts when punishing criminals. This was Atem's way of allowing Yugi to punish this guy if he ever messed with Tea or tried to. "And for the record, your fortunes aren't that amusing."
Atem, Joey, Tristan, and Tea headed for their classroom, which was empty due to the girls waiting in line for their predictions or the guys trying to win the girls. Atem had never been more upset since the incident with the criminal holding Tea at gunpoint. Tea walked over to Atem with questionable eyes.
"Why did you do that?" Tea asked. "What was he thinking when making my prediction?"
"He was going to take advantage of you, if you catch my drift," Atem replied, noticing Tea's cocked eyebrows. "He wanted to have sex with you." Tea gasped in horror as Tristan and Joey sighed in anger. "You're a bitch, but not that kind of bitch. Your verginety hasn't been taken yet. You're as innocent as Joey's sister. I'm not gonna let you or any woman like that being used as a sex slave."
"That's... kind of you. Um... thanks," Tea thanked before Atem showed a smile. "I didn't even catch that."
"That's because you're a virgin. They're very easy to take advantage of since they have no experience," Atem said. "And the parents are too 'protective' to reveal that type of stuff to their kids."
"How did you catch it?" Tea asked as Atem gave a glare as a response. "Uh... on second thought, I probably don't wanna know do I?" Atem showed a smirk.
"Since that creep is gone, how 'bout we play the new game that just came out?" Joey suggested, showing a deck in his hands. "It's called Duel Monsters."
"Really?" Triston gleamed.
"Hanaski brought it," Atem said. "Him and I started playing it on one of our sleepovers. It's fun and grandpa even has his own deck."
"Wow," Tristan responded. "Have you and Joey played?"
"Not yet, but it's worth a try," Atem thought. Him and Joey sat across from each other, and then Atem changed to Yugi in an instant. Tea gasped and wondered why Atem would change to Yugi.
Atem peered at Yugi's cards and the boys worked together to come up with strategies. Since they both shared a body and read each other's thoughts, it was easier to play the game. Two heads were playing against Joey. The boys did this when they played any games. Atem found this helpful since discovery Yugi's special talent in games. Yugi didn't like to play games for judging all the time, he mostly wanted to play games for fun.
"And now I summon my Summoned Skull," Yugi announced with a happy smile before Joey showed a dumbfounded face. "Game over."
"DAMN!" Joey complained.
"So, how many wins and loses?" Tristan asked.
"So far, I'm kicking Joey in every single game," Yugi giggled as Joey slammed his fists on the desk.
"Atem, seriously, that smile is creeping me out," Tristan glared as Yugi showed a frown and changed back to Atem.
"Hey guys, class is about to start," Tea warned the boys as they walked and sat in their desks.
Yugi walked with Tea to all her classes. This was the first time Yugi did this without Atem showing any complaints or arguments. Sometimes he would use Yugi to avoid Tea, but that didn't mean complaints weren't involved. This time, Yugi was able to walk Tea to her every class without Atem complaining. For the most part, it was because he agreed that Tea needed a careful eye watched since Kokurano had his eyes on the girl.
At the end of class, Atem noticed a library book in his desk. Not knowing how it got there, he decided to take it back.
He walked to Tea and said, "I have to return this book. I'll be right back."
Tea nodded and waited inside the classroom. Atem expected a teacher to be there to watch over Tea. Atem walked to the library with the book in his hand and looked for the shelf to put it in. Something wasn't right though, there was something about the riddle that Kokurano had told Atem in one of the predictions: Countless words from heaven will pour down on you. Countless words!
"ATEM!" Yugi shouted before grabbing Atem from his arms and pushing him away from the book shelves that soon came down and crashed at his direction. The bookshelves crashed onto the floor and smoke built up that kept Kokurano, who knocked over the bookshelves, from seeing Atem standing with a scratch on his hand from the falling bookshelf. "Are you alright?"
"My guess is that Kokurano is the cause of this, which means..." Atem said, and then gasped.
"TEA!" Yugi shouted. The boys ran from the library to Tea's direction.
Meanwhile, Tea was waiting for Atem to return from the library. The teacher had left not too long ago and asked Tea to close the door after she was done. It had been a while since Atem left to return the library book. Tea felt some sort of chilling feeling before hearing the door open.
"Atem I..." Tea said before seeing Kokurano with an evil smirk up his lips. "W... what do you want?"
"I'm afraid your boyfriend won't be coming, but the wonderful man I was telling you about will," Kokurano replied. Tea gasped quietly, knowing now how Atem knew Kokurano wanted to take advantage of the girl. 'You will surrender your heart and soul to him' was what Kokurano mentioned. Tea thought it meant like a guy purposing to a woman and her saying "I do," but that wasn't in Kokurano's case.
"No, leave me alone!" Tea glared before Kokurano covered the girl's mouth with a cloth that held Methyl Trichloride in it. The girl gasped before falling into a deep sleep in Kokurano's arms.
"You're mine now," Kokurano smirked with a temptation to kiss this fragile girl.
"I warned you!" Atem glared from the shadows. His millennium puzzle glittered from the sun. "And now we're going to play a game."
"A game you say?" Kokurano asked with a smirk in his lips. "Very well. The winner keeps the girl!"
Yugi's spirit appeared by Atem and asked, "are you sure about this?"
'Yugi, this is a game between two fortunetellers and I warned him to not mess with Tea. I want you to let me play a shadow game with this one. I already know I can use this dark magic,' Atem told Yugi in his mind.
"Be careful. I'll start it out for ya," Yugi said, hoping that he made the right choice.
Atem took the bottle of Methyl Trichloride and set it on the table with several sheets of paper underneath. Kokurano cocked his eyebrows and wondered what game this would be.
"Each of us will take turns to remove each piece of paper underneath this bottle. If it falls on our side, it will knock one of us dead cold. Which means, if it knocks me out, I won't be much of any resistance to you would I?" Atem smirked as it turned to a glare again. "Which one of us should go first?"
Atem and Kokurano played Rock Paper Sisors and it was decided that Atem would go first. He quickly snatched the paper underneath the bottle. It wobbled around, and then stayed upright.
"Your turn," Atem smirked with his arms crossed. He backed away, so that when Kokurano knocked the bottle over it would not make the teen pass out.
Kokurano snatched the paper from underneath the bottle. It wobbled around, and then stood upright. He grinned and chuckled evilly. Atem snatched another paper from underneath the bottle. It wobbled and was nearing the edge of the table. Atem was building sweat from his forehead before seeing the bottle was only half off the table upright. He sighed in relief.
"That was close," Atem sighed before standing back with a cocky smile. "Of coarse, you can't make this move without the bottle falling off. Now, if you really were psychic, you would be able to make the bottle float, which is bullshit."
"Bullshit? I am psychic!" Kokurano yelled while Atem rolled his eyes. Kokurano stared at the bottle to try to make it float. A half smile creeped on Atem's face as the white-haired boy slowly moved the paper under the bottle and it came crashing onto the floor.
"No, you're bullshit," Atem muttered before throwing Tea over his shoulder and walking out of the room where a sleeping Kokurano was shown with sticky notes of his predictions under his coat.
Atem walked to the Clinic of the school to treat the scratch on his hand from the falling bookshelf and having Tea sleep off the drug given to her. When Tea started waking up, Atem changed to Yugi and ran to Tea's side.
"Yugi, you saved me," Tea muttered.
"No, brother saved you. He wanted to be the one to give Kokurano a timeout, well his version anyways," Yugi explained.
"Wait," Tea said in shock. "Atem saved me? What did he do?"
"He used the very drug Kokurano used against you to knock him cold in a game. When Atem declares he will protect someone, he plans on fighting for them too. Brother won't admit it, but he thinks your ok," Yugi winked before putting his arm around Tea. He whispered to the girl's ear, "and I think you are too."
Tea felt a red tent hit her cheeks by the sound of Yugi's whisper. It sounded so soft and beautiful. Tea looked directly into Yugi's soft and innocent eyes. Though Yugi wasn't her savior this time, he always made the girl nervous and calm. No other guy made Tea feel this way. She felt so nervous, she didn't even notice that their lips were barely touching.
"Ok, lover boy! Playtime's over!" Atem said, while taking the back of Yugi's collar and knocking the boy to the floor. His cheeks held a crimson and so did Tea's.
'Ah man! You're so mean!' Yugi glared as Atem smirked in return.
"Tell Atem he's an asshole, but I owe him," Tea said with a calm smile.
"Uh... right," Yugi blushed. "We best get home."
"Right," Tea agreed.
The two lovers walked straight home. Yugi held Tea's gentle hand and the two walked happily together with an annoyed Atem floating behind the two.
"If you two kiss, I'll bury both your asses in the dirt," Atem warned Yugi as he stuck his tongue out in response.
'Just know when you start falling in love I will never let it go,' Yugi said in a warning.
"And that will be the day I start falling for Joey's sister again," Atem promised.
