Chapter 6: And just when you thought you really knew someone…
-Yesterday- (A Flashback when Seto was going home from Tea's)
He'd seen it. He'd seen it all….Seto was his older brother and he could read him very well. He came home last night and smelled of confection… and frosting? Vanilla by the scent of it and when he asked big brother where you? He said he was at Tea's….
Of course he was…So was his brother 'playing' with icing with Tea? Tea smelled of Vanilla, fresh rain and flowers…. and huh? oh so cool! She made him cookies! She was really nice and Mokuba never could quite comprehend why his brother didn't like her….but he could change that…of course he could! He was a Kaiba! And Kaiba's could do anything! He puffed out his chest proudly.
"So why were you at Tea's anyway Seto?" Mokuba asked him with interest. He'd been there for a couple of hours…Hey he cared after all! and Seto's love life needed help! He didn't want his brother to die as a grumpy old man! He thought his brother wouldn't answer him but he did.
"She needed someone to take her home…" Seto said looking down at his little brother.
"So why didn't you bring her here!" Mokuba said giving him 'that look.'
"She doesn't live here Mokuba…" Seto said bluntly.
"I'd take care of her! And so would you right!" Mokuba said.
'…'
"She's not hurt…she just fainted." And just when Seto thought Mokuba would stop whining about Tea Mokuba said that he wanted to see her! Why couldn't he see her? She was the only female figure that he trusted and the only one he cared about!
"Well anyway Seto….Akiko made us Lasagna today. I already ate, but she had to run off cause her father came down with something. Poor Akiko…Who's going to take care of us…cook for us…and spend quality time with us when Akiko is gone?" Mokuba asked in 'his' voice and seemed to be in deep thought. He snapped his fingers and then said, " I know! Tea can! She's the best!"
'….'
"No she'd just be in the way Mokuba." Seto said in an exasperated voice. 'Yes she actually could help them….she had loads of time since she was alone and didn't have anyone to talk to….' But he didn't tell Mokuba that. 'Come to think of it…where is her father?' If she was being neglected then shouldn't she go to him? It wasn't his business but if he wanted he could pin Tea's mother with 'Child Neglect' and then social services could step in and then she could move somewhere else.
At Yugi and Yami's? No they didn't have enough space with the game shop and all… and he didn't want that Pharaoh getting any ideas with Tea.
At Joey's? No…Serenity was away all the time and Joey's father was a drunk. She would be better off alone in her home.
At Bakura's? AS IF. The British guy lived alone in his own apartment.
At Tristin's? No…his mother wasn't very fond of girls in the house...as for living there? Impossible.
At Mai's? 'That social butterfly is never home.' He wondered if Joey, her secret crush knew that she hung out with boys at bars….He shook his head. Both were just hopeless cases.
His own place? '….' Did he want her here? She probably wouldn't be a bother to him because he wouldn't even see her in the mansion but did he really want to see her?
'But you said she was just a distraction! A LOVELY distraction!' His conscious pouted. Seto just ignored that annoying inner voice. "Now Mokuba, if you're done with homework and dinner go off to bed now."
"But big brother!" Mokuba whined and then started his 'Tea chant.' "T-E-A…T-E-A..T-E-A…"
"Mokuba." Seto was developing a headache and needed coffee fast, and after Yami pissing him off with his mere presence maybe a couple of gallons of it…. Mokuba scampered upstairs after hearing that 'voice' from Seto. It meant that he was at the end of his thread. Inwardly he was cooking up how to get the two of them together. Seto was so stubborn sometimes! He went over a mental checklist.
Lock them in a room? Nah…that's old. Ooh make sure that both get detention then have them locked up in that room.
Broom closet? Nah…only kisses happen in there and that was overdone...
Threaten them? He wasn't like that…
In a bathroom? Maybe he'd put that first…lots of space in the bathroom…. Maybe put a hole through the door making sure they didn't starve…who knew it might take DAYS….
He was going to need help from his friends with Operation-Get-Tea-And-Seto-Together….
- Today- (Seto's P.O.V) (Monday Morning)
Kaiba went back to Tea's words before she ran off to school and sighed. What to do…what to do. He didn't want his brother upset but then again, he didn't know what his devious plans his brother was cooking up for him. He saw Tea running ahead of him, skirt flying behind her and daring to fly upwards, her brown hair in disarray and he smiled inwardly. She was really something different. She was only wearing lipgloss and a bit of powder on her face to make sure she didn't have 'shiny spots' on her face.
.Sincere. That's what Tea was. A rare thing it was, when it came to girls this age, every single girl in school tried to get his attention and one even dared to sit in lap and offer to give him a lap-dance…. He shook his head. She didn't even bother listening when he threatened her with immense pain….
He resumed looking at Tea who when reached school grounds stopped and took a deep breath.
"I did offer you a ride Gardner…" he said getting out of his Limo, making sure his voice hid the concern in his voice. He didn't need the girl passing out on him just because she was so damn stubborn.
"I don't want to ride with you and….." 'Damn. That didn't come out right…it sounded so bad…' She then flushed, trying to hide her face from sudden mockery and embarrassment from Kaiba….but it never came. 'Hn?' she thought.
"Oh well, okay then…" he smirked and then walked towards school. He decided he wouldn't tease her for her (ahem) interesting comment no matter how it sounded. He had seen the shocked look on her face.
- Joey's P.O.V-
He walked to school alone, not a bit concerned that he was going to be late once again. He was thinking hard, so Serenity was coming here to stay with them for good? He was happy but he was concerned…a lot in fact. Tea and Serenity didn't get along very well. It was his baby sister's crazy idea that Tea 'stole' all the boy's attention away from her…and Serenity loved being in the spotlight. She'd been lonely for so long and wanted to make new friends. He had tried every last thing but it never worked out…there was always tension in the air…. Tea always thought it was her fault and tended to stay away whenever Serenity came around but now that she was coming to stay for good did that mean that they wouldn't see Tea at all anymore? And if that wasn't enough she'd be going to the same school too…. but he didn't know how far she would go to gain that attention. He just wished that a solution would 'pop' out of no where and….huh?
He saw Kaiba smirking at a Tea who seemed to be breathing heavily like she'd just come from running a marathon. What wazMoney bags saying to their TEA? When he was just about to go and yell at Kaiba for bothering their Tea…he looked shocked….Kaiba was looking at her like he was concerned. 'No way. What the….? No WAY IN HELL would DAT guy be concerned about her like DAT!' unless he had lost some of his marbles along the way…..he snickered with glee. A dumb moneybags! That would be the day. But still…It was Kaiba's job to be a royal pain in the ass to them…did he have a change of heart towards Tea at least? He would killhim if he were thinking of 'hooking up' with their Tea! He would pummel him to the ground! Money wasn't going to buy him Tea…OVA' HIS DEAD BODY! Temporarily forgetting the Serenity-Tea problem/situation.
He walked into school towards his first period class which had his friends Yugi, Yami, and Tristin, but unfortunately Tea wasn't in this class. She was in a Different class which also had Kaiba in it… 'Blast him!' he fumed. He walked into class and everyone was talking and laughing about what they waz doin' ova the weekend, everyone seemed happy except for Joey. So many problems….
"Hey Joey? You alright man?" Tristin said to him. He looked a little down.
"Ya…it's nuthin' " Joey said. Yami frowned inwardly, he wasn't a very good liar. "Serenity's comin' to stay wit' us for good in Domino."
"That's GREAT news!" Tristin said, not noticing Joey's glare. It was Tea he was concerned about wasn't it? Yami thought. He knew that both girls didn't get along.
-Tea's P.O.V-
She sat in her seat silently as she waited for the teacher to arrive and lecture non-stop about god-knew-what. She sat two seats away from Kaiba, not paying attention that he was looking at her. She stared out of the window and sighed. She didn't know why…She just didn't know why anymore….. It wasn't like her to be so down, she loved school and all…but her loneliness was taking it's toll on her and Tea thought she was going to have a nervous breakdown.
-A Flashback-
"Hey Mom! You're home! Finally!" She went up to her mother and hugged her. She never thought that she'd see her ever again. How ironic did that sound?
"Yes Dear Tea…But I met someone when I was visiting France and if things go well then I'll have to move to France. Of course you'll have to move there as well and then you can meet your new father."
"But mother I don't want a new dad!" Tea said.
"Now Tea. I must be off." Her mother said walking towards the door.
-End Flashback-
How could someone be so cruel? And her own mother at that too? Sometimes she just didn't know what to do with herself sometimes. Was she doing the right thing by not telling her friends about her little situation? Only Kaiba knew now and she knew he wasn't the one to talk or gossip. Fear crawled up her spine as she shivered inwardly…the air suddenly got cold. It was so hard…feeling like an outsider, being alone, and having no one…. Like Seto Kaiba. She turned and looked at him and gave him a weak smile.
How she felt like a zombie sometimes. A worried expression followed her sad smile. She felt like she was in the way of everyone…. Would she shatter before everyone? Would she shatter like Porcelain?
He felt like he needed her to snap out of her trance before she went 'faint' on him again…but what to say. Hmm…pissing her off would be the best…making sure she didn't cry…he hated crying girls…. Scary…. But what to say to her?
"Gardner stop looking at me. If you found me so irresistible than why didn't you say so?" He smirked at her slightly angering face. Her blue eyes flashed with fire. 'Perfect.' He thought.
"Kaiba, you ass… don't you have anything better to do than piss people off? Shut your mouth before I come over there and shut it for you." She hissed at him.
"Is that an invitation?" He asked innocently. She was just about to go and punch his lights out but just then the teacher walked in.
"Miss Gardner why are you out of your seat?" he asked her. She shrugged and sighed sitting down, glaring at Kaiba, a glare that promised sudden death later. He just winked at her and turned his head.
He wasn't even paying attention to class as the teacher went on and on. Seriously this material they went over in grade school…. 'And the mutt still doesn't get it….' He could've laughed aloud but didn't. He saw a girl on his right look at him wistfully then turned around suddenly when he raised an eyebrow at her. Whose hair-brained idea was it to create a Seto Kaiba fan club anyway? He wasn't flattered, he wanted to put the girl in an asylum for good! 'Do they really think that swooning and pursuing me with reckless abandon would get my attention?' He found himself turning to gaze at Tea again…an expression on his face he didn't know he possessed. He hadn't failed to notice the shadows under her eyes…
-(After Class)-
"Thank God! I though that class would never end!" Tea exclaimed as people started to file out of class. A girl, who sat behind her named Sakura nodded and said, "Mr. Hayakawa's lecture's seem to go on forever! I'll see you at lunch Tea?" She nodded and didn't notice that it was just her and Kaiba left in the classroom. Now was his chance.
"So Tea, why are you avoiding the inevitable? They will find out sooner or later about your mother." he asked, walking towards her. She whipped around and stared into his eyes. She didn't know that he was still here.
"My mother isn't the problem Kaiba." She said sadly.
He Pinned Tea against the wall blue eyes glared into blue…and Kaiba seductively whispered in her ear "Don't you lie to me now Gardner…"
'GAH!' was the only thought Tea had at the moment."You know what Kaiba? You…you…" she began shakily, poking his chest then slumped under his grip on her.
He let her go and then whispered, "Call me Seto…now come on or you'll be late for class…." with that he walked out of the empty classroom.
'….'
"I just don't know what to do anymore." Tea said sinking to the ground.
