Lady Nefertiti.

Last time: "Not going back to Domino...at least for a while Tea, if that's what you're asking." Kaiba said and turned a corner. "You're ruining my perfect attendance record Seto..." Tea mumbled crossing her arms as if it were perfectly normal for them to exchange names such witty banter. He chuckled at this.

Chapter 43: Personal Vendetta Part 1

Tea sighed staring at anything and everything except Kaiba.

Joey humphed.

Mai gave Serenity and Joey a look since they were entering 'rival/enemy' territory.

Serenity bit her lip.

The air was getting cooler. The group was on a two lane street now, one lane going up the mountain, one lane going down. Trees loomed above them, shielding them from the sun, but perhaps this time it seemed as though the trees were keeping them hidden from the view of others…the many who were looking for them.

-Tea-

So she was done staring at a sexy Kaiba driving with his long brown locks waving in the air and his blue eyes that were err….never mind. Those thoughts weren't helping her any and she shook her head, blushed not noticing a sad and upset look from behind her. She looked away and sat deeper back in her seat and sighed unhappily. She had after all, much to worry about. She wondered what was going on back at Kaiba's mansion as they made their 'great escape' to god-knew-where they were going. Well Kaiba did know and…so maybe it would be okay? Great. Just Great. Since when had she had so much faith and trust in Kaiba? She shook her head.

'Since he saved your ass from Eric and offered you a place to stay silly…' her conscious said.

Yeah. he didn't have to do that. She wasn't anyone special to him. Just another member of the geek-squad.

She also wondered how everyone had ended up at Kaiba's place and the police were on the scene as well? What the hell was going on? Who had called them? She had to remember to thank Mai once she got to talk to her alone. Had Mai not made that ridiculous loud lie about Yami in the tuxedo Tea would've still been in the room with Kaiba and the both would've or could've been caught by the police and she would be safely returned to her 'concerned' father Eric. She shuddered at that thought.

She wondered about her mother and her blindness to her situation. Okay so sure, Tea agreed that her mother would assume she would or could come up with a conclusion like that since she was still upset over dad—her real dad. But Tea was of blood! Her mother should listen to her daughter first and not her so-called boyfriend! It was ridiculous! She sighed as she looked out to the trees. She didn't think she could ever trust her mother again-maybe later, much later and after Eric was long gone to Timbuktuu. She shut her eyes in pain and a tear escaped her eye. What was life without a family who respected, loved and cared for each other?

-Serenity-

She didn't have much to say. Well she really didn't have anything to say at the moment. She was sure Kaiba didn't want to hear her say 'thank you' or 'sorry' he'd much rather have her thrown in jail. She supposed she was just around for the ride….just because she was there at the moment. She was watching the exchange between Tea and Kaiba for a while now and it was painful. And Joey? Joey was glaring at the pair as though they were doing something dirty in front of him and he was about to blow a gasket telling Kaiba to keep his hands off 'his Tea'. A giggle escaped her. It felt nice, weird too really… to have friends to laugh and joke with….

-Mai-

She was watching him! oh yes she was! She couldn't trust her puppy Joey at all. He had a habit of touching and kissing her when she wasn't looking. And anyway, he couldn't try anything here because there were people here. Huh? She heard a giggle from…from Serenity? And she was looking in Tea's direction? What was going on here?

The Jeep made a sharp left and they came across a secluded area, a large wooden cabin, not easily spotted unless a person was really looking for it. The area was all gated. Of course…Kaiba's loved their privacy how could she forget? "Ka—ii—baa…" Tea warned. Dangerous driving...she would not permit it.

"Hn." he said ignoring that as he pressed a button in the jeep at the gates opened and Kaiba drove in slowly, the gates closing behind them. Tea huffed, crossed her arms but said nothing. He stopped right in front of the main doors and turned the jeep off.

"So you have a cabin to yourself." Mai said out loud and got out, enjoying the cool and fresh air. Joey followed and Serenity with him.

The group walked into what was supposed to be the main room, a whole wall facing them that was made of glass. And the view outside was spectacular to say the least. Yes Seto Kaiba lived a wonderful life…he had it all, fame and money. It was what every man would want right? And be the happiest man alive?

"But no one to share it with." Kaiba said softly. This wasn't meant for anyone to hear but Mai did, a question in her violet eyes but then realization of what he meant. Actions spoke volumes to a woman…. much more than words did.

He coughed as he saw Mai's look in his direction and walked towards the large fireplace (to have something to do—keep him busy after that declaration that Mai heard) that went towards the ceiling and lit it to provide some sort of warmth in the room. He didn't need anyone's sympathy. "I suppose we should…" he started.

"Oi Moneybags you got a kitchen and maybe human food in this cabin-house of yours?" Joey asked.

"Rude as always mutt." Kaiba said smirking and stood back up after the fire lit up nicely. He turned to face the group and motioned for everyone to follow him to the kitchen which they did. They'd be okay up here for a while at least…at least until school started up again and the media that would be chasing them after this? This was all Kaiba's fault. It was his fault he was so popular, rich and good-looking (as so Kaiba's fan-girls said so).

Him and Tea up in his mountain cabin alone without chaperones? the damn media were going to have a field day with this story. Had Kaiba a girlfriend finally? Was something more serious going on? Was he getting married maybe? Was Tea a gold-digger and had maybe 'snagged' Kaiba for her own?

What were they going to do? Odd…Kaiba didn't look too concerned.

Joey opened the pantry and happily helped himself to chips and some soda in the fridge as Mai sat across from him sipping coffee. Serenity sat on the couch that was in the kitchen, staring out the window drinking a glass of water.

Tea was looking at Kaiba from across the large island in the kitchen, a question in her eyes directed at him. He looked at her then back at the 'group' that now occupied his kitchen. A mutt, Mai, a red-headed girl and Tea…

Tea….

-The rest of the boys- (Pizza place)

Walking into the place the guys sat at a booth and a waitress offered them menu's and said she'd return to take their orders. They nodded and stared at the menu's. Pizza pies, Stuffed Crusts, All Yummy.

"You know. I feel kind of guilty. Where do you think they went off to? Poor guys. Probably starving and now running from the law. You think they'll throw Kaiba in jail? Keh. He'd just sue them and make sure their face was never seen in Domino ever again and that their children and the children after them never worked in this town again." Tristin said casually.

"Joey would just threaten them with the yakuza saying that he knew them and he'd have them hung by their throats." Tristin continued. He ordered a whole pizza for himself sighing inwardly. Tristin didn't hear the whispers from the other people around him when he said the word 'yakuza' and they all gave the boys booth a wide berth thinking they might be affiliated with them. He turned to look at his friend who was not looking or paying attention to him.

Yugi…

Although the guys, Yugi and Kaiba respected each other they still were rivals at heart and now there was Tea involved in this which didn't sit well with him. 'or anyone else' he thought.

Mokuba shook his head as he munched on a slice of cheese pizza thoughtfully. He had some inkling as to where they might be but he'd rather keep it quiet—for now. Seto told him everything and he was proud of it, determined to uphold 'the Kaiba honor of secrecy' (whatever that was) and their hidden whereabouts.

Sitting with the guys Yami was not hungry at the moment, no appetite at all and was looking into space thinking about previous events. He couldn't believe what was going on. First he finds his friends in Kaiba's home. Followed with finding the police being there too. And to top it off, his rival had run off with his woman! Gah! this was not the way things were supposed to be. But a pharaoh was taught to behave and think with a cool head whatever the reason and deal with the situation as righteously as possible.

"Oi! Man eat something. Pizza's going to get cold. Mokuba's finishing off the cheese pretty fast so you better grab one…you did say you loved cheese pizza." Tristin said grabbing a slice for Yami who was not paying attention. He was really annoying sometimes..especially his high and mighty ways in duels. He even had the gall to hurt Tea's feelings! And it was Kaiba who told Yami that he was leaving the duel because of his actions to one of his 'own group' and that was saying something. Did Kaiba care very much about Tea?

"Hey! No one touches my cheese pizza!" Mokuba said trying to grab the slice out of Tristin's hand who was waving it around. He huffed and crossed his arms, a cute pout on his face. Yugi sighed as he watched his friends playing around and then at Yami.

Tea was with Kaiba right now…wherever they were. It didn't matter that Joey was there to protect her. It was just the concept of it. .. enough said. And it bothered him more than he thought it would. Knowing Kaiba and his interesting extravagant lifestyle, the group wasn't in some local shelter or running from the law and/or in another state/city. He sighed and stared out the window ignoring Tristin asking Yami whether he'd done his homework that was due the next day.

'….'

Seriously with all that was going on right now who would remember to do their homework? His best friend Tea just ran off into nowhere with KAIBA and the MEDIA was looking for them as was that creep ERIC for god's sake! Who the hell was going to remember their homework? And oddly, it seemed that Tea was okay with that fact and hadn't complained about it. Sure he was thrilled to find her unharmed when Kaiba had told him in the library the other day that she was at his place. But then things got worse when she relayed the facts about what was going on. He had been horrified. How could someone harm a person like Tea?

And he'd never seen Kaiba with 'that' look before. It was scary. It was a moody expression. It was a, 'I'm not going to kick your ass when I see you, I'm going to cause you harm and kill you slowly too' look.

-Back to the wooden cabin-

"So like Kaiba where do we go from here now?" Joey asked munching on a chip thoughtfully.

"Yes. Good question Joseph. I'm pretty sure it's not only the police who are searching for us now." Mai said.

"We go about our normal business as usual. To school. To your regular game shop. Mai..back to what you usually do when not at school." Kaiba said. Mai raised an eyebrow at that. Tea blinked. And what about her?

"And me…I couldn't possibly…" Tea started starting to have a panic attack of sorts. Horrified images went through her mind. School? Eric would find her there! What could Kaiba possibly be thinking? It wasn't over…it wasn't….

"Whoever said you were going to school? You'll stay here in my home while all of us leave and go about our usual days. Mutt that means you. We are not chummy buddies now just because we are spending some time together. We're still the same…don't be offended. " Kaiba said.

"Keh..Moneybags. None taken." Joey said rolling his eyes. They could get along…for Tea's sake.

"How come…" Serenity started shutting up when Kaiba gave her a cold look.

"Of course you'll be here with my dear Tea too. If you harm her in any way…well let's just say Eric will be the least of your worries." Kaiba said. Serenity nodded quickly. She didn't think angering Kaiba was a good idea. "I have reasons for keeping you here and don't even try to 'make-up' with Tea…some actions are unforgivable." He said. She nodded again. She knew…but perhaps… at least speaking to Tea would be okay right?

"I suppose I should show you all to your rooms then tomorrow morning we can all head off back to Domino and school." Kaiba said as he walked down the dark hall of the cabin.

"I suppose the Media is already on top of this. Especially if it involves a rich young C.E.O, a pretty girl and both go 'missing' for a couple of days. " Joey said emphasizing the wordmissing.

"Hn." Kaiba said. Tea bit her lip as the group followed him. This really did not look good—and people, no matter what they would be told by people (that everything was okay and nothing 'dirty' happened) they would assume otherwise.

"Seto." Tea said in a hushed tone.

The floorboards creaked as silence was heard in the cabin. Joey sighed, finally breaking the silence (complaining really) saying, "So like I take the room across the hall from Mai's but how come...you Kaiba and Tea are allowed to…"

(smack!)

A slap on Joey's cheek from Mai…

(smack!)

A slap on Joey's other cheek from Tea…

Sheesh leave it to him to point it out. Of course he'd have a problem with it! He was like Tea's big brother and she would not be spending the night with stupid moneybags! Even if there were two beds in the damn room!

"What's with women and their man-slapping?" he said rubbing his cheek as he saw Serenity disappear in a room next to him. She didn't think she was wanted or was needed at the moment. 'Seren' he thought as he saw his little sister disappear, knowing she'd just get cold shoulders if she spoke up.

Mai saw Tea look at Serenity's retreating back and then she gave Mai a look and Mai nodded. "Come on Joseph. Be a good puppy and keep me company why don't you?" She took a shocked Joey (too shocked to respond) by the arm and led him to a room across the hall. Tea and Seto Kaiba could use some time alone.

"Umm…." Tea said not wanting to look at Kaiba at the moment.

"You could call this your safe house dearest." He whispered in her ear earning a playful smack from Tea when he squeezed her bottom. He knew what she was thinking and he took her hand and led her to one of the bedroom doors and shut it close.
