Chapter 2
The next day at school tea wandered around the halls wondering what to tell Yami. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice someone creeping up behind her.
"So what is my angel so deep in thought about?" Yami whispered in her ear. Tea gasped and held the left side of her chest.
"Yami you scared me" she said in between gasps. She looked at him and she found a small teddy bear in front of her face. "Happy anniversary Tea." And his lips touched hers lightly and backed away to see the effects of his surprise on her. And what he saw was not what he expected. At all.
"Why are you crying Tea? Did I scare you too much?" Yami asked worried by her reaction. He held her by the shoulders and brought her into the classroom.
Tea looked up at him with teary eyes which broke Yami's heart more than she knows. "I'm sorry Yami…I know this isn't what you expected….but I have something to tell you."
Yami looked at her seriously. It was still too soon. "What is it Tea…you can tell me anything". Tea smiled. "I know I can Yami….that's what I love and will always love about you". Yami raised an eyebrow.
Tea took a deep breath. "Yami you know I love spending time with you and you always make my day perfect…but we can't be together anymore." Tea looked to the ground. Why didn't it pain her like she thought it would? Yami however reacted exactly the way she predicted. He sat there motionless, unable to speak. His face was blank.
"w..Why?" he finally managed to stutter. Tea looked back up at him sadness written all over her face. But why didn't she feel the pain he felt?
"My parents say that you're taking up too much of my time and my grades were dropping…they couldn't tolerate it" she shrugged sadly. She looked at him brightly. "But we could still stay friends right?...until we finish this year. We are in our senior year…it won't take too long." Tea tried to look for any kind of reaction from him.
He looked at her disbelievingly, his eyes squinted and then he got up and left her alone in the classroom as the bell rang and students were filing into the class. He left the teddy bear holding a heart written on it 'my angel' beside her on the desk. She picked it up and held it. But where is the pain?.
In recess Tristan and serenity were sitting together with Tristan's arm around her shoulders and she was snuggling deeper into his embrace. Joey was with Mai. He always managed to sneak her into the school as one of the students. He too had his arms around Mai who looked bored while he stared with dislike at Tristan and serenity who were chatting animatedly. Tea waved at them. They all looked so happy. Why couldn't she and Yami stay like that?
"What's up?" she asked as she sat down.
Joey smiled when he saw her. She will always be the sister he never had. "Aren't we supposed to be askin you that question?". He asked his eyebrow raised as he looked around.
Tea blushed. She and Yami were always hand in hand, arm in arm, always together anywhere they went at school. Seeing Tea alone was something that never happened since they got together.
"I broke up with him." Tea said sadly as she looked at the ground.
They all gasped. Who would leave a guy that charming, that romantic, and that serious about a relationship? Surely she would be out of her mind.
"well, looks like Tea's finally lost it." Mai said with a smirk. Tea slapped her arm lightly and smiled at her. "my parents told me that I was slacking in my studies and that I had to leave him…but we could get back together in the summer right?" she looked at each of them brightly.
Sad faces were all she got in return. "it's not how it works with Yami, tea…you're supposed to know that". Tristan said shaking his head slowly.
Tea did know that. But she tried denying that fact and it always came back to bite her in the ass. She had to change the subject, she couldn't bear the looks n their faces. Who knew they were so into their relationship?
"where's Yuugi?" tea asked looking anywhere but at them.
"he said dat der was an emergency at the game shop and dat he had to go der ASAP". Joey said agreeing with tea in the subject change.
Tea just nodded. She scanned the place until her eyes rested on the head of a tall boy with brown hair and cerulean eyes. Seto Kaiba was, as usual, reading a book with no food in front of him and no one at his table. For some reason her mind was drawn to him.
She heard someone scream her name which forced her to snap out of it. She whipped her head in the direction of the sound to find an out of breath Yuugi. "hey Yuugi" Tea said in a monotone.
Her mind was still fixated on Seto Kaiba. But why? There was always something intriguing about him, but the whole time she was with Yami, she gave that fact no thought at all.
"Tea…earth to Tea…what are you looking at anyway?" as Yuugi tried to look in the direction tea was staring at she turned quickly and smiled at Yuugi.
"yeah Yuugi…what's up?" she asked trying to bring his attention to her. Yuugi looked up at her and folded his arms in a very Yami like matter. After all since each of them got their bodies Yami has been living with Yuugi at the game shop.
"what did you do Tea? Yami's sulking at home and the only word he said when I asked him what's wrong was 'Tea'". he analyzed her with his amethyst eyes. Tea looked around her and before she could say anything Joey said "so dey broke up…big deal!...it happens to everyone….he should just get over it and move on like any oder guy wud do." Mai glared at Joey but he just shrugged. Yes they were the perfect couple and yes everyone loved them together but if Tea says it's over then it's over!
The recess bell rang telling them break was over so everyone exited the cafeteria heading towards their respectable classrooms. As Tea walked with the gang, two boys suddenly bumped into Joey and Tristan knocking them off their feet.
"hey wat da hell was dat for?" Joey shouted rubbing his head which was throbbing in pain. Tristan on the other hand was rubbing his butt from the fall.
Bakura and Marik snickered and high fived each other. Ryou and Malik appeared behind them glaring at their two yami's.
"that wasn't very nice Bakura". Ryou said helping Joey up while Malik was helping Tristan up. "shut it hikari…may I remind you that the only reason I tolerate you beside me is….."
"ya ya we all know ok…. 'the hikari yami bond isn't to be messed with' thanks genius for the new info." Malik rolled his eyes and walked with Yuugi and Tea towards the classroom leaving a speechless Bakura who glared at him and a snickering Marik who shrugged and said "the guy's my light and that's as light as he can get." Marik walked after them smiling followed by Ryou and then Bakura.
Tea shook her head. "that's Marik and Bakura for you." Yuugi looked at her studying her. She doesn't look sad. She doesn't look like she's in pain. But why? Yami was her life for 3 months. Yuugi shook his head as he started to feel a headache coming up.
They all sat in their places and got ready for math class. Mr. Yukimoro entered the class and started giving the lesson. After 30 mins of explanation, Mr. Yukimoro started asking questions. Nobody knew the answers of not one question.
Mr. Yukimoro sighed. "Mr. Kaiba would you mind telling me the answer of this question?" Kaiba looked up from his book with mild interest.
"the answer is 12863.5". and he went back to his book.
"very good, thank you Mr. Kaiba". he turned to the rest of the class and his eyes fell on a dozing Tea Gardner.
"since none of you had the decency to listen to a word I said today, maybe page 56, 57 and 58 in your text books will be enough homework for you until I see you next class" Mr. Yukimoro smiled at the groaning class.
While everyone made their ways out of the classroom, the teacher looked for Tea and spotted her waiting for Joey and Tristan who slung their backpacks over their shoulders and were ready to go to the next class.
"Tea Gardner…I would like a word with you please". Tea looked surprised and waved to the gang signaling that they go on and she'll catch up with them.
Seto Kaiba was just about to exit the empty class when Mr. Yukimoro called. "Mr. Kaiba…I would like a word with you too please" Kaiba looked at the teacher and his eyes narrowed when he saw Tea standing beside him.
"what was this bubbly friendship crap cheerleader still doing here? Didn't she have a mutt to tend to and a midget to care for?" Kaiba thought.
He walked towards the teacher and folded his arms. Mr. Yukimoro turned to Tea.
"Tea I have noticed that you've been slacking in your classes and your grades have dropped drastically. You are also very behind in your lessons." Tea just bowed her head. Seto Kaiba raised an eyebrow. She was always the smartest in the class, second to him of course.
"Mr. Kaiba I want to ask a favour. Since you are the best in the class, I would like you to tutor Tea Gardner." Tea's head shot up and looked horrified from Kaiba to her teacher.
"but Mr. Yukimoro…" he held a hand up to her waiting for Kaiba's response.
Seto Kaiba did not tutor anyone. But he was interested to see what this cheerleader's reaction would be. Anyway having a little fun won't hurt anyone and he really needed some entertainment.
He smirked. "I accept". Was all his response and he walked away from the teacher. Before he could exit the door he stopped and said without turning to look back "we start today directly after school." And he left.
Mr. Yukimoro smiled pleased with himself but Tea's glare wiped the smile off his face completely. "I will NOT be tutored but that egotistic bas…" Mr. Yukimoro widened his eyes warning her not continue the sentence or she'll regret it. She kept her mouth shut and folded her arms.
"I only did this to get you back on track…you don't know anything about the lessons we're taking for 3 months already…he was the only solution I could think of and you're parents agree with me completely."
Tea looked at him furiously. "why couldn't you do it?" Mr. Yukimoro sighed gathering his things. "you know it's against the school rules Tea". Tea picked her bag up and sighed. "thank you Mr. Yukimoro but I'll apologize to Kaiba and tell him I'm not going to attend his tutoring any time soon." Before she could walk away the teacher grabbed her arm lightly.
"Tea…do you know the risk I took asking Kaiba that 'favour'?...if he didn't like what I said he could've gotten me fired in the blink of an eye". He looked deeply into Tea's azure eyes. She looked at the ground then at her teacher who left her arm.
"ok Mr. Yukimoro… I'll go….but if his ego becomes bigger than the mansion he lives in then I'm out". the teacher smiled. "deal."
Tea smiled and waved as she headed towards her next class.
Before she could tell anyone anything the biology teacher had already entered.
She tore a piece of paper and scribbled 'you will never believe what happened. I actually have to be tutored by KAIBA…and I start directly after school TODAY!'
She sighed and passed it to Yuugi who sat beside her. His eyes widened and passed it to Joey who passed it to the others with the same expression on his face. The class ended early due to an emergency in the teacher's house. Everyone exited the classroom heading home…except for Tea.
"How could he do this to you? I thought he respected you and liked you….how could he throw you over to Kaiba like this?" Yuugi asked horrified while they walked outside the school.
"yeah….how cud he? I can imagine the horrible things he would let you do" Joey said his arm around Mai and the other hand on his forehead.
"it can't be that bad right?" before Tea could get an answer a long black limo stopped in front of them. The chauffer got out and opened the door and motioned for Tea to enter.
"you wouldn't want to be late for your first lesson would you?" Kaiba's voice sounded from inside. Tea looked at the limo in shock. He was actually taking this seriously.
Joey grabbed tea arm. "if anything happens you have my number tea…don't think twice about calling me". He said his face as serious as it could get. Tea smiled.
"bye guys…wish me luck" as with that she entered the limo and they drove off.
Tristan and Serenity walked up to the gang, an expression of confusion on their faces. "was that tea…in SETO KAIBA's limo?" Tristan asked. Yuugi nodded his head. He was devastated by the turn of events. Tea leaving Yami….and now Tea taking lessons with Kaiba?...could things possibly get any worse?
I hope you enjoyed it….i will update regularly and I promise seto is in the next chapter …
