Okay everyone, here is chapter 4, the Halloween chapter!
Again, apologies if I have made any errors.
Please review and tell me what you think of the story!

I DO NOT OWN YU-GI-OH!
I also do not own the lyrics or the song "canned heat" by Jamiroquai.

Let the chapter commence!

Kaiba pov

He stared down at the fading ink on his palm, he was going to wash it off last night after he had left Tea's, but had decided to just keep it there for a while. A voice coming from the speaker on his desk startled him out of his thoughts.
"Mr Kaiba, sir?" His assistant was so irritating some times.
"What is it Lena?" he snapped angrily.
"Mr Kaiba your personal shopper is here, she wants to know if you have any preferences on your Halloween costume".
Halloween, it was so trivial that it had completely slipped his mind, the annual Domino City Halloween party was this Saturday and as a well-known CEO of one of the major companies in Domino, his attendance was expected. Perhaps he should take a date this year, he shook his head. That was out of the question, who on earth would want to take to the Halloween party. Except maybe Gardner…
"Mr Kaiba, are you still there?"
Lena's voice snapped him back to the present, "yes I'm still here, tell her to come up with a damn good costume this year, also will you get me Tea Gardner on the line" he asked curtly.
"Right away sir"
His assistant was in charge of his contact list, he added Tea himself this morning, and his assistant probably thought this was curious of him, but wouldn't dare question him about it.

Tea pov

Tea was shocked out of her day dream by the buzzing coming from her pocket; taking out her mobile she glanced at the caller ID. She didn't recognise the number at all, deciding to answer it anyway she brought it up to her ear.
"Yellow?" she asked cheerfully.
"Do you always answer the phone in such a childish manner" a cold voice replied. Her heart beat increased a little bit, how strange.
"Do you always start phone calls in such a rude manner?" she replied, she could here Kaiba titter on the other end of the line before he eventually asked: "As your probably aware the Domino City Halloween party is this Saturday and I just wanted to know if you had plans that evening?"
Tea was taken aback, was this Kaiba asking her on a date, she raked her brain trying to remember whether or not she had plans.
"Are you going to answer me or just keep me waiting all afternoon" Kaiba snapped impatiently.
"I don't have plans" she quickly replied. Kaiba paused, "well since you have nothing better to do, would you like to accompany me to the Halloween party?" he asked briskly. Tea grinned to herself, "Mr Kaiba, are you asking me on a date?" she asked playfully.
She could practically feel his cold glare through the phone.
"Do you wanted to come or not?" he sighed. Tea thought about it for a brief moment before replying: "I would love to, now if you don't mind I have to go shopping for a costume, bye bye Kaiba!" and, still grinning like an idiot, she hung up on him. She felt a little giddy, she loved Halloween parties, dressing up and being something else for a night was what she loved about the holiday.
She checked her watch, it was only 2pm and the shopping centre didn't shut till 5oclock, quickly grabbing her coat and purse she headed out of her front door, humming as she went.

Kaiba pov

Kaiba stared at the receiver for a little while before placing it back in its cradle. He wasn't sure exactly what he was doing, taking that cheerleader to the party was insane he knew that, but at the same time he could feel a new emotion creeping in on him. What was that? Excitement perhaps, well whatever it was it made his stomach feel strange and made his heart rate increase. Perhaps he was sick and needed medical attention he thought to himself seriously. He went back to the papers on his desk but with a slight smile on his face.

-Saturday night-

Tea pov

she viewed herself in the mirror, she had spent hours perfecting her costume and only now did she feel like she was finally ready. Her costume was a floor length red silk gown and it clung to her body and complimented her curves. She had curled all of her hair and applied liberal amounts of hairspray and it bounced on her shoulders. She applied white costume makeup to her already pale face and neck, before applying dark eye shadow and false eyelashes. She painted her lips with an inviting red lipstick and stepped back to admire the effect. Before she could forget she slipped her "vampire teeth" in her mouth, they felt strange at first and took her a little while to get used to. She practiced talking and laughing with them in her mouth until she could talk perfectly without wanting to spit the false teeth out. She threaded a black wrap through the crook in her arms and around her back and grabbed her purse, stood in the hallway nervously waiting for her 'date' to arrive. All too soon there was a sharp knock on her door and she took a deep breath and opened the front door.

Kaiba pov

Kaiba stared, it's all he could do, and he was completely stunned. Tea looked incredible, she was wearing a red silk dress that went all the way to floor, it clung to her body in all the right places, her usually straight hair was arranged in to a mass of bouncy curls, her face deathly pale and her eyes dark and inviting. Her lips an alluring shade of candy-apple red, she smiled nervously at him, revealing little pointed white teeth which he assumed were fake.
"You look fantastic" he admitted, he watched her cheeks flush pink under her white makeup. "Why thank you, so do you" she replied nervously.
His personal shopper had arranged his entire outfit, which mostly consisted of a black three piece suit and a lot of white makeup. It would appear that they were a vampire couple, and even Kaiba had to admit that they both looked pretty damn good.
He cleared his throat and composed his face in to his usual steely reserve.
"Shall we go then?" he asked impatiently.
Tea hurried out the door, locking it behind her and following him out in to the night where he had his limo waiting. He slid in first and she followed him gracefully. She sat pretty close to him and this made him very nervous.
Finally the limo pulled up in front of Domino city hall, Kaiba stepped outside the limo first and Tea followed close behind. She slipped her arm in the crook of his, his first response was to pull away but he found that he didn't really want to. They both headed inside the building which was alive with flashing lights and loud music.

Tea pov

Domino City Hall looked incredible, it had been decorated for the festivities and was full of fake cobwebs, giant pumpkins, skeletons and other Halloween decorations. Everyone was dressed up, people on the dance floor dancing happily to the loud music and many more people sat at the tables around the room, laughing and having a good time.
She glanced up at Kaiba grinning excitedly; she was shocked to see he smiled at her in response. She doesn't think she's ever seen Kaiba give a genuine smile before, it was usually a smirk or a sneer. Kaiba steered her towards the bar, cutting in front of everyone else waiting, all Tea could do was observe him intently as he clicked his fingers at the bartender, who rushed over to serve him instantly. Before she knew it she had an iced cold drink in front of her with a miniature orange and black umbrella sticking out of it. She sipped it tentatively, it had the bitter taste of cranberry's with a sweet hint of strawberries but she could taste the vodka underneath, it was delicious.
She allowed Kaiba to navigate them over to an empty table and she sat down next to him, they sat in silence for a while sipping their drinks. She watched everyone on the dance floor, with her new found Dutch courage she jumped up. Kaiba appeared startled and she grabbed his hand before shouting over the music: "come on, let's dance!" and with that she dragged the daunting CEO to the centre of the packed dance floor. She recognised the song, it was 'canned heat' by Jamiroquai and she loved it, before she knew it she was totally lost in the song. She twirled and shimmied on the floor, bursting out laughing at Kaiba's formidable expression, grasping his hands she pulled him close.
Dance! Nothing left for me to do but dance!
She could see Kaiba laughing as he spun her around and they started moving to the same rhythm.
All these bad times I'm going through, just dance!
She smiled at the carefree expression on Kaiba's face, he really was quite beautiful. Once the song had ended they left the dance floor and back to their seats, Kaiba disappeared off to the bar to get them another round of drinks.

Kaiba pov

He ordered another round for him and Tea, he hated to admit it to himself but he was having a really nice time. Tea was so light hearted, it was hard to be his usual stern and cold self around someone so care free, someone so beautiful.
He took their drinks back to the table and watched as Tea sipped hers quickly, obviously thirsty from the dancing.
He regarded her for a moment before admitting: "I'm having a really fun time".
Her large blue eyes gazed at him for a moment, "so am I" she replied, giving him a genuine smile. The final notes of the current song ended and a new song replaced it, it was slow paced and melodic, people on the dance floor were pairing off together and starting to slow dance. Even in the dark he could see Tea's shining eyes look wistfully at the dance floor. Before he could even stop himself he stood up and offered his hand to her. He could see the look of surprise on her face, but he just smirked inwardly. They made their way to the floor and he pulled her close, wrapping his hand around her waist and they slowly rotated on the spot.
She had her head resting against his chest and his head was resting against the top of hers. She looked up at him and smiled, he returned the smile, their faces where close, almost within touching distance, he saw her eyes flick to his lips and his heart started hammering. He started moving closer, until-
the song suddenly ended and everyone started clapping. They both pulled away from each other and he could see the disappointment in her eyes, but she covered it up well and they both headed back to the table to enjoy the rest of the evening.
