Or was it because...

...I just didn't have the answer

Why is she making me feel this way?

What is this feeling deep inside of me...

Is it love?

TEA'S POV

I watched Kaiba leave the room with great speed.

Why did he just run away like that?

My head turned to the door way once more to see that George had returned with my food, a bowl of French vanilla ice cream.

" Oh...Thank you,G."

" You are most certainly welcome, Tea."

He bowed and soon left me alone in the kitchen.

As time passed on, I consumed the ice cream with the sadness that was consuming me.

" God...Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?"

I laid my head against the table as an attempt to help clear my thoughts.

Those attempts were soon to be found in vain which forced me to wander around the large house.

My feet led me to a dark hall filled with nothing but another clock on the wall.

Eventually, I reached a room with huge speakers linked to a stereo.

Curiosity filled my veins as I pressed the 'Play' button.

The music traveled from the speakers to my ears...

Heavier and heavier my eyes became as I assured myself that I was only going to rest them for a second...

SETO'S POV

I opened my eyes, searching for the glowing green numbers to tell the time.

" One in the morning...great..."

This was now the umpteenth time I had woken up from my restless slumber.

Slowly, I rose from my bed and made my way to the hall.

" Turn around...every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you never coming round."

I had suddenly remembered the song...'Total Eclipse Of The Heart' by Bonnie Tyler, the one where she speaks in two different languages.

" Turn around...every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears."

I wondered where it was coming from.

" Turn around...every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by.

Turn around...every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes.

Turn around bright eyes...every now and then I fall apart."

Following the tune had led me to the dance studio.

She was lying against the wall, sleeping.

I turned the music off and walked towards the brunette.

" Wake up..." I whispered in a soft voice as I gently shook her.

She stirred a bit, slightly revealing her beautiful blue eyes to me.

" K-Kaiba?" she muttered.

" Come on, I'll take you to your room..."

" Oh...alright...good night...Kaiba..."

She rested her head against my chest, allowing herself to be swept off her feet by my arms caressing her.

After twelve minutes, I had reached her room...

Laying her body on the bed, watching her.

She seemed so innocent and free in her sleep rather than during the day.

Then a sudden pain rushed through me.

Memories of the past several hours came back to me.

How could anyone hurt her?

Why?

How could something like this happen to a woman like her?

I shook my head.

Snap out of it! I can't care for someone like her...
