Woo! I finally updated! Sorry it took so long. I've been sorta busy. Anywho! I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! of course. In no way, shape, or form.

Please enjoy this chapter though. And review because you are just so nice to little old me! *grins*

~*Last Time*~

"Child Protective Services. It can help you find a new home and family so that if your brother does wake up, you wouldn't have to go back to his home." She explained. I smiled happily.

"R-Really!?" I asked on the edge of my seat. She nodded smiling at my enthusiasm.

"Yes. I can make the phone call for you. Here." She handed me this card with her number.

"I will call you when I've talked to CPS. When you need to call me you can." She said smiling. I nodded smiling.

"Thank you!" I said hugging her. She was surprised before she hugged me back.

~%*%~

"We'll come back tomorrow so that we can all go out for the day okay Tamaya?" Téa said as we were all walking back to Bakura's home.

I nodded waving my hand. I was on Joey's back. I wrapped my arms around his neck loosely and he held my legs so I wouldn't fall. I put my head on his shoulder and faced Téa blinking tiredly.

"Alright, alright. It seems like you always want me to go shopping with you Téa." I said yawning. She rolled her eyes.

"It's because you almost never come shopping. So now that you have a lot of free time on your hands this weekend you can come. OH!! How about you stay the night at my place and we can shop till we drop!!" She said excitedly. I went ridged just as Joey did.

"U-Uh…I uh…have to go to Yugi's tomorrow!" I said laughing nervously. She looked at me skeptically.

"Really. How about I ask Yugi then." She said looking at him.

Yugi and Bakura were talking in their own conversation and not even listening. She went to stand next to him.

"Hey Yugi? I was wondering, are you and Tamaya going somewhere tomorrow." Yugi looked at her questionable.

"N-" He glanced at me franticly waving at him.

"Yeeees! Yes we are actually. She is uh coming to help my mother do some laundry." He said grinning at her nervously. She frowned.

"Oh. Okay then." She said walking back to Joey and I.

"Well you got away this time missy. But next time we are shopping for the whole weekend!" She said happily. I sighed.

"Yes ma'am." I mumbled into Joey's shoulder. I heard him chuckle.

"Shut up." I mumbled.

Everyone chattered while Joey and I just kind stayed quiet during the walk. It was dark out and the street lights were on. Cars passed by but not a lot of them seeing as how we took the empty road.

I yawned tiredly again.

"You must be exhausted huh?" Joey asked me. I nodded putting my chin on his shoulder.

"Yeah. I am." I said. He was quiet for a moment and is bangs covered his eyes. I felt something wet on my hand.

I blinked holding it up and looking at it then back at Joey's face. He had a tear rolling down it. I blinked.

"Joey, why are you crying?" I asked softly so no one else would hear. I still couldn't see his eyes.

"I lost one little sister already. There's no way I'm gonna lose this one also." He said just as softly. His grip on me tightened. I buried my face in his shoulder.

"I sowy." I said child like. That got him to laugh a little and I smiled softly.

"It means a lot to me that you think of me as your little sister Joey. Thank you." I said closing my eyes. He nodded.

"Yeah. As long as I'm your bro nothings gonna happen to ya!" He yelled spinning himself around. I screamed and laughed as everyone laughed along with us.

~***~

We stood outside of Bakura's apartment building and discussed what Saturday's schedule would look like.

I sighed putting my arms behind my head as I stood next to Yugi.

"But Téa! I don't want to go out tomorrow!" I wined blowing some blue bangs out of my face. She rolled her eyes and turned to Bakura.

"We'll all meet at the mall at 12:30p.m. tomorrow okay? Make sure she is up and all dressed by then Bakura. Alright?" She said with her hands on her hips. Bakura nodded and smiled nervously.

"I'll try my best Téa, but I don't think that Tamaya is really a morning person." He said glancing at me. I shook my head.

"From what I hear from Yugi, I'm more of a night person than a day. Which is very true." I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"Yeah she's like a vampire!" Joey said trying to scare me. I just pushed him out of my face rolling my eyes.

"Shut up Joey." I said.

"Well at least try to get her up by then. Well, see you tomorrow!!" Téa said running off. I waved at her.

"Yeah!" I yelled back. I turned to all the boys. Yugi looked at his watch.

"Well I gotta get going guys. Grandpa is going to wonder where I am." He said smiling. I nodded and gave him a hug.

"I'll be staying here for the night. I will see you tomorrow Yugi." I said smiling at him. He nodded and waved at the rest of them before walking off. Joey sighed.

"We're gonna go with him He could get in some trouble at this time of night." Joey said messing up my hair. I grinned up at him.

"You do that and protect my dear friend Joey." I said fixing my hair. He nodded smiling and went to catch up with him. Tristan turned to me and smirked.

"See you tomorrow Tamaya. You know Téa gonna make you shop until Joey has to carry you again." He said chuckling. He waved over his shoulder as he walked away. I put my head down in defeat.

"Don't remind me." I mumbled. Bakura laughed a little and we went up to his house.

~***~

"Bakura I'm really sorry about the way I just dropped in like that earlier." I said sitting down next to him the couch. He was reading his book again.

He was dressed in some sweat pants and a white t-shirt. I put on some shorts of his and rolled them up a couple times. I borrowed a large black t-shirt of his that was like a dress on me but oh well.

He looked at me with a smile.

"It's truly alright Tamaya. It's quiet nice to have your company here with me." He said going back to his book. I blushed a little and looked away to the window.

"Oh. Maybe that's why Yugi puts up with me all the time." I said softly. Bakura laughed a little. I looked back at him and he was smiling at me.

"I think Yugi's your friend because you are a good person, and his childhood friend. Anyone would want to be your friend Tamaya." He said setting his book down so he could face me.

I smiled a little.

"You….you think so?" I asked looking at my hands. He nodded.

"Yep. Oh! We should get to bed!" He said franticly looking at the clock. I looked over at the huge clock on the wall and it read 1:23a.m.

I blinked.

"Wow time flew by." I mumbled getting to my feet and stretching. I hissed a little and looked down at my legs. Rug burns went up my left leg and covered my right leg. It hurt badly. I shrugged.

"I've had worse." I mumbled walking to the back room where Bakura said I could stay.

I passed Bakura's room and he was shutting off the light next to his bed.

"Night Bakura." I said walking past. He smiled.

"Goodnight."

I went into the guest bedroom and laid on the bed after turning the light off. I looked out the window and looked at Domino City. It was big and busy. I sighed and something triggered in my mind.

"This is Tamaya Kuragari."

"It's nice to meet you."

"The pleaser is all mine."

"There is something I have to show you Mom. Something Tamaya's been hiding since she was six."

"N-No."

'Please show me.'

"I can almost guaranty you didn't come to my apartment building, that's on the other side of town, by accident."

"I'm at Bakura's house! I need your help Joey!!! Please help me!!"

"LET ME GO!!!"

"Are you okay?"

"You're not aloud to run away anymore."

"I thought it would be nice if I had someone here with me for a night."

"My big brother……didn't like me….so much."

"Thank you!"

I sat up from the bed clutching my head as the events flashed through my mind like a movie. As it stopped a blinked a couple of times.

'What happened?' I thought shaking my head. I fell back onto the soft pillow and smiled.

'I actually can't wait for tomorrow to come.' I thought. I took my necklace off and set it next to my bed.

*Grins* Remember, reviewing is your friend! I will try to update as soon as possible!
