Eternal Dreams Chapter 3
There she stood, the girl who stole his craving for late nights and his addictive need for perfecting software . Whom took his breath away every time she'd tilt her head in his direction and catch his gaze in her inescapable web of shimmering blue eyes. They were so big and yet so beautiful. Oh, how he loved the way the white void showed off her curves. She is too damn alluring for her own good.
This time she was twirling her chocolate hair in her tiny hands, eyes-fixated on the floor. She was obviously deep in thought. Her eyelids covered her blue eyes just before this Aphrodite let out a small sigh.
She faced him, a fierce gleam igniting her eyes. She was definitely up to something. Never, never has she looked at him, unless of course it was to see if he was staring at her.
"Kaiba" she said.
This couldn't be the voice of his goddess. It reminded him too much of his English teacher.
"Kaiba" Came the voice once again but it wasn't hers. She hadn't even moved her lips, unless you count that confused pout of hers. Quickly, she turned on her heel, causing her back to face him, then peered back at him shyly.
Her peering face then faded and reformed to a little annoying cheerleader of a brunette.
"Psst kaiba," whispered Tea, delicately, "Kaiba. Kaiba wake up before-"
"Kaiba, " Said the English teacher, Mrs Yamanaka, "Are you feeling alright? You look a little pale. "
Realisation struck him. THE Seto Kaiba had fallen asleep in class.
It was Monday afternoon, third lesson of the day, just before lunch. This morning had been absolutely foreign to Kaiba. Not only was he late but he also kept on tripping over all his stuff, including the sofa and tv. How he missed seeing the tv and sofa was still a mystery to him. He had also forgotten to brush his teeth and only realised this when he was halfway to Domino High. Something was seriously wrong.
"I'm fine, " he said regaining his composure.
"Oh really," asked the teacher as she crossed her hands, "then would you please mind telling me what I just said."
"You asked if I'm alright."
"Before that Kaiba, " she said frustrated.
Kaiba was dumbstruck. He turned his head and found that the entire class was staring at him. That damn mutt and his rhino haired friend were just waiting to unleash the laughter that was trapped within.
Their faces soon blurred as his eyes, involuntarily, began to focus on the worried expression of Tea Gardener. Kaiba watched as she reached for a green text book and lifted it so that he could see.
'Shakespeare's Greatest Sonnets'
She then moved her eyes in Joeys direction and raised her hand in such a way that the body language translated to 'no clue'.
"You were explaining to Wheeler why we have to cover Shakespearean poems."
Mrs Yamanaka turned around to see if anyone had offered assistance to kaiba but by that time Tea was in her original position and looking at kaiba, her book-flat on the desk before her.
"Very well," she said before marching to the front of the class and grabbing her book, "please answer questions 1-12 on page 34. I'll be checking that you have completed at least 1,2 and 3 before the bell rings."
Kaiba turned to the brunette sitting one seat ahead of him in the next row. She must have sensed his gaze because she stopped her work and turned around facing his direction. He nodded, she smiled and winked.
That small gesture had meant more to Kaiba then it should have. Some things definitely wrong here.
After the ringing of the bell, Kaiba had intended to properly thank Tea but before he could even get the chance to call out her name, she was gone. Hurriedly, he just grabbed his books and bag then went out the door.
Due to his height, he was able to see over the heads of most people in the crowd. Unfortunately for him, Tea was shorter than most and thanks to the pushing and shoving of the crowd he was standing in, it was much harder to find her than anticipated.
'There' he thought to himself as he spotted her brown hair, peeping up from the crowd though it seemed lighter than usual, and longer.
He followed and followed until the crowd around him had almost disappeared. He reached out his hand to touch her shoulder but the instant he did the girl turned around and he soon found he had been following none other than Serenity Wheeler, the mutt's little sister.
"Yes, Kaiba? Do you want something?" she asked
"No, wrong person." he said with a slight hint of disappointment, that surprised him. Today really was a peculiar day.
"Oh, okay then," she said before running off.
"Boy," said a voice next to him, " Where you really trying to find a girl and thought it was her but it ended up being Serenity. Or did you just want an excuse to talk to Serenity?"
Kaiba looked to his right and found Tea standing right next to him, clutching her books against her chest and looking at Serenity's retreating figure.
" So which one is it?" she asked
"What?" He asked, feeling more disorientated than a town drunk.
"Where you really following the wrong girl or did you just want an excuse to see Serenity?" said Tea with a mischievous grin
"Followed the wrong girl " he replied.
"Too bad. You and Serenity would make a great couple."
"No way in hell, " he said calmly
"You're welcome," she said just before he could thank her. "I know you don't find it easy to thank anybody, let alone 'Yugi's little cheerleader' so I thought I'd save you the trouble. Mokuba told me that you're not feeling too well and that you've been over sleeping a-lot recently so I felt as if I had to help. It was nothing really. No need to mention it, okay," she said before running off to join the gang.
Kaiba had walked to on empty table and sat his books down. He then took out his laptop and began working on some 'real work'
Across the room, Joey, Yugi, Tristan and Bakura were all sitting and enjoying their lunch. Tea and Serenity were by the snack machine buying some chips and soda for Joey and Tristan.
"Hey Yugi' " said Joey, "don't you think that Kaiba was acting a little weird in class? I mean the guy fell asleep and needed Tea's help to get out of trouble! Not to mention that he didn't insult me once. NOT ONCE !"
" Calm down Joey. I sure Kaiba has a perfectly good reason for that." replied Yugi
"Aren't you curious about it?" probed Joey
"What do you suggest we do?" asked Yugi tentatively
"Ask him." He said just before standing up and walking towards Kaiba.
"I better go make sure he doesn't start a fight," said Yugi as he stood up and then ran after Joey, "wait up!"
"Kaiba," said Joey as he towered over the CEO, " somethings wrong with you and you're gonna tell me what it is."
" What he meant to say was, " said Yugi as he reached the two older boys, " you were acting really strange in class and we'd like to know what's wrong."
"Why should I tell you?" asked Kaiba
"Because we know that you won't tell your brothers' that you know that's something wrong with you, " said Joey letting his hands rest on the table, " but I wonder what the two over reacting younger Kaibas would do if they found out that they're older brother, who they love very much, would keep a health condition from them."
Kaibas eyes widened. 'Oh I'll tell you what they'd do. First of all they'd follow me around and make sure I actually eat. Secondly, they'd schedule daily doctor appointments, have a private hospital on standby and practically handcuff me to a specialist. Oh and don't get me started on the therapeutic sessions. They'd take over my company, become cruel and ruthless and... and... NO! I can't let my little brothers walk the same path I do. It will destroy them.' He wanted to cringe at his own thoughts. It was a first for him. Usually anything that came out of his mind seemed like a beautiful piece of javascript to him.
" Damn you mutt. You know full well what my little brothers would do." He said truthfully
"Yep!" He replied proudly
"I… have… been… having… dreams." said Seto, regretting every word
Joey blinked. Yugi blinked. They exchanged glances and before either one of them knew it, they were on the floor laughing their guts out.
"Haven't you ever had dreams before moneybags? " asked joey
"I'm sorry," said Yugi, " but why would dreams be having such an affect on you."
"If the two of you would like to continue this conversation I suggest you both sit down and shut up," said Kaiba very seriously.
Almost immediately, both Joey and Yugi sat down and stayed quiet like rockets waiting to explode.
" So why are you so tired?" asked Yugi
"Don't ask me. All I know is that in the dream, I see this girl and every time I try to ask her where the heck am I, she just starts to run. At first I began to chase after her but eventually I figured she wouldn't run if I kept my mouth shut."
"Wait, you have control in your dreams?" Asked Joey
" Yes, but only in these dreams."
"Who's the girl?" asked yugi
"No clue. But she's really familiar. "
"Is she cute?" Asked joey
" Cute doesn't describe a woman mutt. Cute describes a dog or a large fluffy toy. I believe the only way to describe a woman would be to call her beautiful. And yes. this girl is very beautiful, she's gorgeous, everything I would want in another human being." He said quickly, forgetting that he was talking to Joey and not himself. He was becoming rather absent minded these days.
"HOLY CRAP! KAIBA JUST SAID A GIRL IS PRETTY AND HE LIKES HER! That means... that means... HE'S NOT GAY!" shouted Joey, raising his arms in the air and waving them.
"Why in hell would you think I'm GAY? !" asked Kaiba
" Never did I ever see you look twice at a girl so I just figured..."
" Anyway," said Yugi changing the subject, "what does the girl look like?"
"Blue eyes, brown hair, long eyelashes, fair skin, pink lips, cherry cheeks…"
"Okay okay," interrupted Joey," we get the point. She's hot. By the way, how tall is she."
" Why?" Asked yugi and kaiba at the same time
"Just how tall is she?"
Kaiba stood and measured on his arm, approximately, how tall the girl was. Joey got up from his seat,measured an amount on his shoulder then walked over to Kaiba, who didn't protest against them standing next to each other for this particular reason.
"More or less the same." Said Joey, carefully inspecting the lengths, " Ya sure you're not talking bout Tea, Kaiba?"
"Why would you say that?" He asked
"Blue eyes, brown hair, long eyelashes, fair skin, pink lips, cherry cheeks..." counted Yugi on his fingers
"And hot!" Said Joey
"It's not Tea. The girl in my dreams is much curvier. " said kaiba hesitating
"You can't see Tea's curves with that uniform on. Not even when she wears those shorts and shirts. Only when she wants to show off her curves will she, other than that, no way!"
"Why not? " asked Kaiba strangely curious
"Because, " Said Yugi, " when we first started hanging out, Joey and Tristan used to tell tea how curvy she was and she felt really uncomfortable so she threw out her entire wardrobe and bought the most baggy yet fashionable clothes she could find."
" Oh. " Kaiba said, feeling a bit lost at Yugi's blunt statement of information.
" That and she started hitting us when we called her pretty or hot. But back then we were competing for Tea. Now, she's like our little sister" said Joey
"And yet you still call her curvy?" Asked Seto
"Hey, in order to protect her I've gotta accept why the idiots are after her. In this case, Tea's curvy body," said Joey as she drew an imaginative picture of Tea with his hands.
"Excuse me?" Came a feminine voice that they all recognised far too well and stopped them cold in their tracks.
Kaiba could feel his mind racing with a thousand possible lies and stories he could spin. He knew just how bad this would look. It would totally kill his reputation. He turned around to face the blue eyed girl, his mind finally settled on an appropriate lie. He opened his mouth slowly, and then closed it again.
Tea walked over to him and stared into his eyes.
"You're different. Your pupils are dilated, you know." she said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"I know." he said, half whispering it to himself.
"Dilated pupils are a sign of…" Tea started startled.
"Yes, I know." Kaiba finished.
