Chapter 4

##

I did not set my life at a pin's fee.

And for my soul, what can it do to that?

Being a thing immortal as itself?

It waves me forth again. I'll follow it.

Seto was beyond angry, someone had trashed his library, found his secret stash of liquor, his brother refused to wake up, the dweebs 'heroes' had gotten completely smashed and to top it off he hadn't a clue who let a thirteen year old kid drink alcohol. Now he was heading to his basement wondering who was playing different types of music on his loud speakers. He banged on the door. "Open the goddamn door!" He said, his cold tone could match the way water froze. "Open. The. Goddamn. Door!" He banged hard on the door. The music was still blaring.

Seto Kaiba believed he was being very generous, he gave up is mansion so then the losers could have a safe refuge. Bad idea Seto! Why did I have to give in to Mokuba? Duh! He's my baby brother, I'd hate to make him upset or angry, and when we were bonding so well, this happens! Now I have in the house my rival, a loser, a dog, an old man, three freaks, a cursed freak, a deranged thief, a gambler and a dog's little sister…I should open up a loony bin to put all these geeks in it.

Seto was glad he had brought with him his extra key; opening the door he marched in less than two strides and turned off the music. He whipped round ready to yell the house own at the imbecile that hadn't obeyed him. Great. The cursed freak. My day gets better and better.

He gently nudged Tea; she let out a painful moan. Come on! That was the most gently nudge I have ever given! "Gardner you need to get up." He said calmly. Carefully he picked up the girl and carried her to her room. I'm going to need a holiday after this.

He laid the girl on the bed, he checked her arm, what do people have to make them check her arm every second of every day? It's a cursed seal. If it causes her pain that's what curses do! They are so damn over protective of this girl! She's what seventeen? Can't they let the poor girl breath? Actually let her have a life?

Tea's eyes fluttered open. Cold blue met soft blue. "S-Seto?" She muttered, she rubbed her forehead gently. "I was dancing too hard and I must've slipped." She said remembering her twirling speeding out of control.

"Anything you want to talk about? I don't care what you tell me you won't worry me but if you keep things bottled up you'll end up like Yami." Seto said staring hard at her. Tea blushed a soft pink and looked away.

"I keep getting pains in my arm. My right one." Tea admitted. "It drains my energy away and I feel really weak after it." Seto raised an eyebrow, he grabbed Tea's arm and stared at it, the cursed seal resembled now a tattoo but he noticed how frail her arm look compared to the other.

"Hn. And how did dancing come into all this?" Seto asked. Tea shrugged her shoulders, she just wanted to. Simple as that. "You don't know?" Seto said staring at the girl.

"I just wanted to." Tea said, then another memory hit her. Yami drunk. She kissed him…

"Hn. Tea how come my brother is drunk?" Tea's eyes widened in surprise. She was bright red now. "Tea. He refuses to get up and his breath smells of brandy mixed with rum."

"I dunno, we found Yami, Joey and Tristan drunk, I was taking Joey and Tristan out of the library and when I came back he was like that." Tea explained nervously. Seto's face was now thunderstruck.

"And the mess they made?" His voice sounded like he was about to murder three certain boys.

"Joey and Tristan were fighting…I think. I'm not sure but we heard a lot of banging." Tea said softly. She watched as Seto got up and stormed out of her room. "Seto…now what have I done?" She muttered. She waited for any sign of anger. After three minutes she began to think that maybe, just maybe, he wasn't going to release his anger.

"WHEELER PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY YOU GOT MY LITTLE BROTHER DRUNK AND WHY MY LIBRARY IS A MESS!" Seto's voice shook the small chandeliers hanging in Tea's room. She quickly slipped out of her ballet shoes and rushed to see what had happened. She nearly snorted with laughter. Seto had poured any remaining alcohol over Joey's head.

"WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT?" Joey yelled back. Sure enough Yugi and Serenity ran upstairs to check on the situation.

"MY BROTHER IS PISSED AND MY LIBRARY IS A MESS WHEELER, DOES THAT MAKE THINGS CLEARER?"

"I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE ON ABOUT! YOU ARE A SADISITIC CRAZY MAN! I WASN'T EVEN NEAR YOUR BROTHER! BUT FOR YOUR LIBRARY ME AND TRISTAN HAD A FIGHT. GEEZ YOU ARE SO DAMN CRAZY SOME TIMES IT'S UNREAL!"

Seto's body twitched. "Call me crazy. One more time."

"CUCKOO!" Joey was sent outside his room headfirst. He collided with Tea who lost her balance and crashed into a small table knocking over a small vase that fell to the ground. The three sane teenagers stared at the vase, to Joey finally to Seto.

"MUTOU!" He called out. Joey stared at Seto wondering what was going to happen to Yami. He winced when he heard a small scuffle and then ding-dong. Yami was now out side of his room. "WHY IS MY BROTHER DRUNK?"

"KAIBA I HAVE NO IDEA!" Yami yelled back. "ASK HIM YOURSELF!"

"YOU WERE IN THE ROOM WITH HIM WHILE GARDNER WAS TAKING TAYLOR OUT!" He said pointing to a frozen Tea. Yami's eyes darted towards Tea's demanding an explanation to why he was being accused over something he couldn't remember.

"WELL I DON'T REMEMBER!" Tea's heart plummeted downhill. I was right. He would forget. Hey why does my hand feel warm? Tea looked at her hand, it was bleeding where a sharp shard of glass was sticking out. Must've happened when the vase fell. Taking out the glass shard she quickly moved it under her arm. It stung for all its worth.

"YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS MUTOU!" Seto roared as he took off for his brother's room. Yami ignored this empty threat. He glanced back towards the small group and went back in his room. His headache not helping matters.

Joey got up and offered his hand to Tea. "Tea your hand!" Tea tried to hide it but Joey snatched it up. "Come on, we gotta clean it up. It might get infected or somethin'" Tea let herself be dragged towards the large marbled bathroom. She flinched as the cold water washed away the sweat and the blood. "You gotta bandage this up." He said gently. Tea looked at him and realised he had actually sobered up.

"Thanks." She mumbled as the white bandage went round her hand. She felt his gaze on her seal. She looked away ignoring the funny look he was giving her. She left Joey alone with his thoughts as she searched for Serenity and Yugi. "Hey guys…wanna watch a DVD or something?" She wanted to makeup for her actions earlier towards them Yugi especially.

"Sure why not." Serenity said pushing back a soft brown lock behind her ear. She smiled towards Tea. She must be in so much pain…at least I can be her friend. She needs us right now.

That night Yugi, Serenity, Joey, Marik and Tea watched a film called 'Hot Fuzz.' "So explain to me who is killing who again?" Marik asked at one point.

"Well at the moment we don't know but Nicolas has a hunch." Yugi explained. Marik nodded.

"Why do they give Danny treats when he does something bad?" Marik asked ten minutes later.

"Because he's trying to loose weight and doing that is stopping him." Tea answered.

"Oh." Marik was silent again until he cried out. "HAHA! Did you see Danny! Smack into the wall." Everyone threw him irritated glances. "They never have this in Egypt." Marik said loudly.

"SHUT UP!" He chuckled nervously and was silent throughout the rest of the film. It was leading up to midnight when everyone went to bed. Tea checked that Seto was asleep before going to into her own room. He was found jumping on the bed.

"Seto?" She said nervously. She glanced round his room; it was furnished in a very modern but classy way. A king sized bed, mahogany chest drawers, bathroom ensuite, large closet filled with clothes, flat wide-screen TV. Desks, leathers couches, state of the art laptop and of course his very own mini-bar. She went over to see what he had drank, great! Another mixed up drink.

"This…is…fun…" He said jumping up and down. Tea stared at him unsure o how to act around him. "Yippee! I'm flying!"

"No. You're drunk." Tea said, she walked to his side of the bed. "Come on. Get off the bed and get some sleep."

"Nope! I'm going to jump and jump and jump!" Seto didn't go like Joey and Tristan when they got drunk, he went hyper like a child on a sugar rush.

"Get down."

"Nope." Seto actually stuck out his tongue.

"Seto please get down." She said angrily.

"Nope."

"Please."

"Nope." Tea watched as he jumped up and down. Then Tea did something she's ever thought she do. She grabbed his face and kissed him.

"Get off this bed." She ordered wiping her lips; it was like kissing her brother! Seto did as he was told. "Go to bed." She shouted. Seto obeyed; shocked that Tea had kissed him. When she was sure he was asleep she left his room to go to her own room.

She quickly got changed into her pyjamas and climbed into her bed; she blushed when she remembered that she had kissed Yami! It wasn't quick but it wasn't long either. She was falling for him even deeper than usual. This is so unfair! He doesn't like me in that way! Tea then blushed until she was glowing red. That was my first kiss. Yami had my first kiss. Yami. Had. My. First. Kiss. OH. MY. GOD!!! I KISSED YAMI!

Tea giggled and snuggled under the covers, kicking the sudden excitement in her legs away. She chuckled when she remembered the way Tristan and Joey were acting when they were drunk. Joey seemed really beat up about Mai. Today I've seen something I should've filmed. Seto Kaiba and Yami Mutou pissed. Seto the ice prince and Yami the King Of Games. Two guys who never go over the limit. As she pulled up the soft pink quilt over her, sleep beckoned her.

I felt so warm…I felt something bright blind my vision I slowly opened my eyes and noticed that I was somewhere I didn't know. "Pharaoh! Your people are suffering!" I turned to see a man that resembled Yami on a chariot he was pulling his red cloak away from a man with turquoise hair.

"Let them suffer!" I felt my body grow stiff.

"MASTER!" A female voice? Wait a second…that's…me. I watched as the woman that resembled me tried to run to the Pharaoh. She stumbled on a pebble and was helped by the past Dartz. "The people are suffering!" A hard slap brought the look-alike me on the ground.

The scene changed and I realised I was in Egypt…well ancient Egypt. People ran through me. "KILL THE PHARAOH! KILL HIM!" An angry voice shouted above the small mob. Suddenly I felt the fire that haunted my dreams…something was burning me…I found I couldn't breathe…

Tea shot up panting. "Just a dream…just a dream…" She repeated shakily. She stared at her arm. It glowed dimly in the dark. Or was it?


So you guys got your wish, Seto and Joey and Tristan are drunk. So what did you think of that? PLEASE REVIEW!
