Chapter Four: Tea Kaiba = Something not good.
The next morning was a Tuesday and the gang sat around the lunch table yet again to discuss the upcoming dance and grades. Yugi grinned from ear to ear and his eyes lit up with an enthusiastic light. "I passed all of my tests!" he cried, "I probably could get straight A's this quarter!"
"That's wonderful news Yugi," Yami put in also smiling, "I should get goods grades too and with Ishiuzu as my partner for the dance this Thursday I can't lose."
Tea stirred from across the table by shifting in her seat. Her eyes narrowed hotly. "So she actually agreed to go with you?"
"Yes," Yami answered and sighed contently, "I owe her a huge debt after this. She saved me big time."
"Well, if you hadn't lied in the first place you wouldn't have to owe her anything."
The group looked up at their cheerleading friend and Yugi leaned over and whispered to her.
"Hey, Tea? What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, Yugi. Everything is perfectly fine." Tea grumbled and glared over at Yami who told Joey the story of his trip to the Museum. Yugi raised an eyebrow. "Tea, are you mad that you got turned down by Yami?"
"What do you mean, 'turned down'?! I didn't even ask him!!!!"
"Oh, well then you shouldn't be so hostile towards him."
"I'm not!!"
Yugi sighed. "Ok, Tea. But you know, if you feel lonely you could always go with me."
Tea laughed to herself and stared at Yugi straight on. "Yugi please. You're a nice guy and everything, but let's face it. You don't even come up to my shoulder. Do you know how stupid it would look if we actually danced together?"
Yugi shrank back a little and stared at the ground to hide his hurt. "Ok...Tea....."
"By the way Yugi," Tea cut off the subject, "why are you and Yami so worried about grades this quarter?"
Yugi looked up. "Because if we don't get enough A's to please Grandpa, he won't let us go to the dance."
Tea's ears perked up in interest and she scooted closer to Yugi and lowered her tone of voice. "Really? So how does Yami know he'll be allowed to go?"
"Tea please, you know he's the top student in all of his classes. He's lived 5000 years after all."
"Hmm....that's true......" Tea muttered to herself and she tapped her foot while her eyes locked onto the trees overhead. The only thing she could think of to stop Yami from going to the dance with Ishiuzu was keep him from going at all. But Yugi was right. Yami never really failed at anything before....so she would have to find a way to manipulate his grades. But how....?
"'Dat's da bell." Joey announced and the six friends stood up, "what class are ya goin' to Yugi?"
"I have Spanish this block," Yugi answered grimly, "what's yours?"
"Computa Systems. With Tea." Joey replied and Tea's jaw dropped as a rock of realization hit her in the face. Of course she had computers this block!!!!! And computers stored almost all of the databases in the school, and there was only one person in the world she knew of with a grudge against Yami.....and a wide range knowledge of databases.
"That's right Joey!" Tea chimed and took hold of his hand, "And we don't want to be late, so see ya later Yugi!!!"
"Uh...bye..." Yugi waved vaguely but Tea had already whisked Joey around the corner at the speed of light. Yugi shook his head and headed up the stairs to his Spanish class.
Tea's blue eyes darted back and forth as she searched through all of the heads in the classroom from her station by the doorway. But she didn't seem to catch sight of the person she was looking for. Urgh! How hard can it be to find him! He sticks out in a crowd like a sore thumb!!!! But then she realized he wouldn't be wearing his normal attire. They were, in school after all and he'd be wearing a Domino uniform just like everybody else.
"What are you doin' Tea?" Joey asked turning around in his seat to look at her.
"I'm looking for someone!" she screamed and yelped as somebody slammed shoulders with her.
"Watch it Gardner!" a harsh and raspy voice shouted from behind, "your in my way."
"Kaiba!" Tea squealed with glee and spun around to face the teenage billionaire. He raised an eyebrow and was forced to drop his silver briefcase as Tea squeezed the life out of him.
"Oh I'm so happy your here!!!!! Listen, I need your help." she stated and Kaiba pushed her back, his mouth set in a tight line and his eyes burned with a deep frustration.
"What has gotten into you!? Don't you ever touch me like that again!"
Tea rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Look, Kaiba, I need your help."
"With what?" he spat and took his seat by his assigned computer. His experienced fingers began to zip across the keyboard as he typed in the code to bring up his project.
"As you can see, I'm busy."
Tea shoved a freshman out of his seat and seized it as she sat down next to Kaiba.
"Will you just here me out first? I need to you to tap into a record file for me."
Kaiba laughed, but his eyes never left his computer screen and he still continued to type. "What kind of file?"
"On a student that attends this school." Tea explained, "you know him. Yami Mouto?"
Kaiba's hands stopped working and his eyes narrowed as the cursor on his computer flashed expectantly. There was a slight click of his chair turning as he swung to face her and his voice was barely above a whisper.
"Why?"
"Because I need you to.......lower his grades a little. Just a little."
Kaiba stiffened and his hand clenched into a fist on the table. "Again, why?"
Tea rolled her eyes. "You don't need to know why I just want to know if you can do it."
"Oh I can do it," Kaiba laughed his trademark smirk returning to his face, "but that's an illegal intercourse. I could go to jail for that."
"You won't go to jail," Tea sighed matter of factly, "because I know you won't let yourself get caught."
Kaiba weighed her sentence in his mind and concluded that it was true so he nodded.
"You're right. But I thought Mouto was your friend. Why are you trying to change his grades?"
"Because then he won't be able to go to the dance with Ishiuzu Ishtar." Tea answered flatly and Kaiba became a little more interested.
"He's going with Ishiuzu Ishtar?" he asked cautiously and Tea nodded.
"Uh-yeah, that's what I said wasn't it?"
Kaiba thought for a moment. "Is she that crazy women who keeps telling me that I'm some ancient sorcerer from Egypt and wants my Egyptian God Card?"
"Yes."
"Well she'll never get it! Obelisk the Tormenter belongs to me! She can't handle the power of an Egyptian God Card!!!!" Kaiba screamed and all heads in the room turned slowly to him. Computers beeped through the soundless atmosphere until Kaiba glared mercilessly at each student in turn.
"What are you looking at!?" he bellowed and soon his peers fixed their eyes nervously on their screens and the sound of keyboards clicking arose again. Tea smiled. She just figured out how to recruit Kaiba in her scheme. If she wanted Kaiba's help, then she would have to speak Kaiba.
"Yep, that's her. And if she goes to the dance with Yami, and they hit it off pretty good, then she might convince him to give her his Slypher the Sky Dragon. And her brother already has the Wing Dragon of Re, remember? She might use those two cards in a duel to defeat you and win your Egyptian God Card! Then she'll have all three and own the most powerful Duel Monsters Deck in history!"
Kaiba gritted his teeth, thinking over the possibilities. "We can't let that happen!" he muttered and Tea agreed.
"Exactly, so if we keep Yami from going to the dance, Ishiuzu will have no contact with him whatsoever in getting Slypher. So your Obelisk card will be safe."
Kaiba paused for a moment and decided that Tea was actually making sense. "Ok, I'll help you. Meet me by the school entrance at 12:30 tonight. Well use one of the schools computers to hack in, so that way we have a less chance of being traced."
Tea smiled malevolently. "I like the way you think. And don't worry, I'll be there."
