flashback/
Tea had always suspected that Seto Kaiba was a very demanding person, who had to be in control of everything. But she never really realized until that very moment exactly how bad he was until she witnessed him trying to relax. They were currently enjoying her complimentary massage which would've disgusted her if it hadn't felt so good (since when did multi millionaires need complimentary anything) and Kaiba was making it hard to relax. First he kept making little noises that sounded halfway between a growl and a moan when the masseuse hit just the right spot, until he was practically purring. Which would've been fine, no sexy, really if it wasn't for what he was doing when the masseuse wasn't hitting the right spot.
"To the left, to the left, my left moron." Kaiba growled. "Down some more, I said the fucking left." Turning around Kaiba snatched the woman's hand up and placed it on the small of his back just above his towel. The poor girl stared at his back hatefully for a second tears welling in her baby blue eyes, she couldn't do anything right, it seemed. Looking over at Tea longingly, (she was being a good girl, keeping the painfully awkward noises to a minimum and being quiet letting her masseuse a strapping, sexy young man with mischievous and sexy green eyes and long blond hair do his job), she let out a big sigh and got back to work. Her hand dipping ever so slightly beneath the towel (but well out of danger zones) she heard him growl and snap his head toward her. "Any lower and I'll sue your sorry ass and this establishment for harassment, lets see you try to find a job then. Feh, you'd be begging for scraps from the soup kitchen for the rest of your life, so I'd watch it if I were you." She nodded sheepishly, and he turned back around placing his face in the cushion. She honestly had half a mind to leave a kink in back, as if. She didn't find him attractive at all, he was too tall too pale, his haircut was stupid and while his eyes were admittedly an amazing shade of blue, the icy coldness that seemed to scream "I could murder you, and go to sleep that night in a room full of mirrors and not a lose and ounce of sleep" pretty much killed any attractiveness he would've had. What she wouldn't give to trade places with the woman in the other bed right now.
Tea's masseuse frowned as Kaiba let out another moan, what he wouldn't pay to get his client worked up like that. Tea frowned a little how come her masseuse had stopped working, clearing her throat she felt his hands once again start moving and let out a contented sigh. The day would be perfect if her masseuse was hotter, Kaiba must be in paradise she thought absentmindedly. The girl working on him was actually pretty with pretty blue eyes, long blond hair, an hour glass figure, and perfect straight teeth. She also radiated kindness and intelligence, one of those people you could just tell were awesome and wanted to be friends with, the little nightmare. Her guy though, he was too short, she could tell he was often up to no good, a player just by his cocky pea soup green eyes, his tan looked faked and his haircut was stupid, men should really leave long hair up to girls unless they could really pull it off. Duke Devlin being the only guy she knew who pulled it off perfectly, sure Ryou Bakura pulled it off okay, but it also made him look a little softer than she preferred, she like the bad boys. Pegasus looked gay, and so did Sigfried von whosits. Marik Ishtar! She almost forgot about him, damn he looked good with long hair. Edgy, like Duke. This masseuse though looked like a Fabio wannabe. Truth be told though, Kaiba was incredibly good looking, short hair and all she would kill to be the one massaging him, making him make those, stopping that thought right there, she let out a frustrated groan and the masseuse who had been working on her stopped for a second and looked at her, a cocky smirk on his face. Tea looked over at Kaiba's masseuse, Becky from what it said on the name card, when she caught the girls eyes. They both plastered on fake smiles, thinking lucky bitch, before turning their heads away.
"All done Miss Gardner, now just lie here and relax for a minute, and let me know if you need anything." Her masseuse, Eduardo, said closing the bottle to the oil and setting it to the side. Becky didn't even bother as Kaiba had fallen asleep and was now snoring lightly, though it sounded more like a cat purring. She giggled at the idea of Kaiba being a cat...that she could run over with her car, and set to work on massaging the areas she missed, if she didn't he was going to end up incredibly sore in those areas and would blame her even though he didn't let her massage there. He was actually pretty tense and she would've felt sorry for him, if he didn't deserve it. Handing Tea a headset and turning on the T.V. Just in case she wanted to wait for Kaiba until he woke up, she made her exit. Tea relaxed for a few moments, tying the big fluffy white robe tightly together before flipping on the news.
A still publicity shot was on the screen and Tea smiled softly, then hit herself on the head. How could she have forgotten Mokuba he had long hair and was the second sexiest guy on the planet according to F.Y.I. Magazine, second only to his brother. The remote dropped out of her hands though as the caption flashed flickered back onto the screen and the talking heads (a balding old man with greedy, beady little brown eyes, a woman who looked exactly like every other woman some how, completely uninteresting from her dull brown eyes, average brown hair average face and dull black suit, and another guy with a sad attempt to be suave, slicked back and waved hair, and dull brown eyes with a pair of regular, uninteresting glasses, Joe everyman) resumed their conversation.. The caption though it was what still held her captivated, Mokuba Kaiba Arrested, Brother Nowhere to Be Found. Taking a deep breath she calmed down and rolled her eyes. He was probably just out partying and had gotten caught with alcohol, it had happened to Joey and Tristan a couple of times, it had even happened to her once, a blotch on her otherwise squeaky clean record. The caption made it look like he had murdered his brother or something, but really they were just not in the Continental United States, they were on a top secret island in...where the hell are we anyway she thought to herself, frowning. Picking up the headsets she slipped them on, just to be sure.
"...make of this?" The man, William O' Malley asked.
"Well Bill, I think that Mokuba Kaiba is probably telling the truth, he seems like a pretty straightforward honest guy, and to be quite honest he's the kind one of the bunch. The girl was drunk out of her mind, if I recall correctly she had to be taken in to the emergency room for alcohol poisoning, and she is widely acknowledged as the school's...she is acknowledged as being a person with very loose morals, and Mr. Kaiba's story is not only feasible, he's probably telling the truth."
"Oh Please Greta, what world do you live in. Just because this young lady is known for being a slut, doesn't make it true. High schoolers are notoriously cruel and quick to label people and so is the media. Just because Mokuba is labeled as the nice brother, doesn't mean he's incapable of committing a crime. In fact, I've always thought him as the bad one of the Kaiba brothers."
"I think Mr. Jacobs has lost him mind Bill." Greta laughed obnoxiously.
"Now wait here me out, here me out. Seto Kaiba has a notoriously acidic tongue, but all of his closest employees claim they would follow him to hell and back, his bodyguards risked their lives to help him prove his case of corporate sabotage, even though he was no longer their boss and even though they could've easily left him in the middle of nowhere, remember they found him in the middle of nowhere, his plane having to go into an emergency landing, about 50 miles away from anyone no cell phone signal, no anything. If he was really so horrible, they could've made him walk, but they didn't. He also never got into trouble with the law, didn't get caught underage drinking, and didn't screw his way through the phone book, he may have an acidic tongue, but most of what he says is the truth. He's always been honest and has always had a take me or leave me i don't care what you think I'm going to be me attitude, not this smile in your face be friends with everyone but inside think they're as disposable as tissue attitude Mokuba Kaiba seems to have adopted."
"Now wait just a minute, your making Seto Kaiba seem to be a saint just because he hasn't been caught doing anything illegal! C'mon on now, the guys a prick, and he's a genius with a thorough understanding of the law and infinite resources at his disposal, so of course he could commit a crime and not get caught. I'm sorry but the idea of Seto Kaiba being a squeaky clean saint and Mokuba being a rapist, is laughable."
"Laugh all you want, but Mokuba is the one with the record..." Tea jaw dropped and the remote fell from her hands on to the ground. Kaiba snorted and woke up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"What time is it?" Kaiba asked yawning, and stretching. Tea's eyes widened, he wasn't holding onto his towel and it was going to slip off any second, face red she quickly changed the channel to the T.V. guide. She didn't want him to see the news article and couldn't look at him.
"A little past 6:00, the sun will be setting soon." Tea said, feeling dumb, but it was what Tristan said whenever he really couldn't think of what else to say. Actually, at least she was telling the truth the show would be starting in a few minutes.
"Want to go watch it?" Kaiba asked suddenly, tying his robe tight, Tea glanced over at him, and arched an eyebrow at him.
"Never pictured you as the sun set watching type." She said point blank.
"I actually never have, never was convenient, but since I plan on going there to clear my head anyway..." Kaiba said shrugging.
"Where?"
"Wouldn't you like to know." Kaiba said smirking and tossing her clothes, "Here get dressed, I won't look." Kaiba said turning around. Tea glanced down at the clothes, all of her old boyfriends and wannabe boyfriends had to be told not to look, either he was a gentleman or she wasn't doing something right. After they got dressed, Tea still in her bathing suit, Kaiba in a white trench coat, black dress pants and a black button up top, which wasn't what he left the hotel room in, he had his own clothes brought but not hers, they walked away from the resort. He bent back a small hole in the fence and they climbed through pushing back some foliage. They arrived in a clearing, on top of a cliff, she looked out over it and discovered the she could see the whole beach from there, the ocean, the sun setting in a dazzling array of warm oranges and reds, and the people packing up and leaving, they looked like tiny ants. The view was breath taking, Kaiba walked a little past her, stopping at the edge of the cliff, closing his eyes, his arms outstretched, the breeze playing with his hair.
"How did you find this place, does anyone else know about it, where are we?" Tea asked, in awe, there were flowers everywhere and it was like something out a story book or an enchanted dream.
"I wouldn't have brought you here if I thought you were going to talk." Kaiba said spinning on his heel, and giving her a glare. Walking next to her, Kaiba plopped down on the grass next to her. "Sit."
Tea sat down but not before punching him in the arm, he had told her to sit like a dog. "So..." She asked. Kaiba exhaled deeply, than shook his head.
"Well, I..." Kaiba paused, shutting his eyes at the memory. Should he really tell her, it wasn't like it was a particularly horrible memory, one of the only times he had felt free. But, he hadn't even told Mokuba about this place, and only had brought her because unlike Mokuba, she wasn't rich, and wouldn't be able to find anything to do if he had simply left her to do his own thing.
/His feet hit the pavement as he weaved in and out of various strangers, ducking between a particular tall mans legs, he kept running. He had too, if Gozaboro caught him, he'd be in serious trouble. He had been caught sneaking out to have fun with another little boy, instead of doing his work, on an island paradise built to be a vacation from work! Gozaboro had a business meeting with another man who claimed to have a prodigious son, so Gozaboro suggested that the two boys meet. His objective was clear, during dinner the two men were going to grill the boys, and he was supposed to completely decimate the other boy, the loser didn't get dessert, but the winner got any dessert his heart desired. He had won, and ate the ice cream cake greedily (his first taste of ice cream since he had been in that house) and than been locked in his room for the remainder of the trip and forced to study. When the boy asked if he wanted to go to the game room, a whole room full of games, he'd been unable to resist, which had landed him in his current predicament, running from Gozaboro.
"Seto, Get back here this instant, don't make me tell you, ack!" Gozaboro collided with the man whose legs he ducked under, and they both fell to the ground. Seto's eyes widened and he made a mad dash for the sauna, he'd made Gozaboro look like an idiot, he was really in for it now. Noticing a small hole in the fence that was unnoticeable unless you were on the ground he crawled through it, and pushed past the foliage, and came across the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life. Walking to the edge of the cliff he saw the people looked like tiny dots. Gozaboro looked for hours but couldn't find him, he could see the whole spa scrambling to find him, his name audible as a soft hum as tons of security guards and people looked all over. He had vanished. When the realization that no one knew about the place dawned on him, and that Gozaboro couldn't leave for at least a few days, until either they found him or it had turned into a big thing, he sighed with relief. With Gozaboro and his butler and tutors here, that meant Mokuba was safe too. For the first time in his life, he was free, if only for a moment. Free! He didn't have to worry about Mokuba, didn't have to study, didn't have to run, he was free like a bird or better yet a blue eyes white dragon! He outstretched his arm, and stood near the edge of the cliff, the breeze flowing through his hair, and up his shirt, it felt like he was actually flying. He roared like a blue eyes white dragon and than giggled at his own idiocy. But why was it stupid? He was ten, other ten years old got to play like that. Realizing free meant he could do what he wanted his closed his eyes again and imagined himself as the Blue Eyes White Dragon, the most powerful creature in all of duel monsters, no one could hurt him, no one could burden him, nothing could stand in his way. He knew he'd have to go back eventually, when Gozaboro did get home it was Mokuba who would pay the price, but for now, none of it mattered./
"Its not important." Kaiba said, deciding the memory was too personal to share, especially when he remembered the massive beating he'd gotten on the jet ride home as Gozaboro had nothing better to do for two hours than to wail on him.
"I guess not, but still, there's no technology here." Tea said, grinning, a mischievous look on her face. "I never pictured you as the type who could live a second without it." She laughed at the thought of Kaiba having a plug attached to his back. "I bet Mokuba had to drag you here."
"No actually Mokuba doesn't know about this place." Kaiba said, watching the sun set. "I don't tell him everything."
"Really, why not?" Tea said curiously, the why me never being voiced though it was understood.
"I come here when I want to get away from it all. Its just sometimes I feel so, so..." He didn't know how to describe it, he was the CEO of multi billion dollar company (he himself a multi millionaire) who could go anywhere he wanted and do as he pleased. He didn't even have to answer to a board of directors like most CEOs as he was chairman of the board and president as well, he answered to no one a feat even most CEOs had not accomplished.
"Trapped?" Tea filled in the blanks and Kaiba didn't say anything, simply closed his eyes, walked to the edge, and let the breeze take him away.
"I love my brother, I really do, I'd give up my life if I knew he'd be safe. But, I have been forced to raise him since i was five years old, I have never had my own life. Everything I've experienced has all been for him, to the point where his dreams became my dreams."
"What do you mean?" Tea said confused, Mokuba had told her that they his brother had dreamed of building a theme park that underprivileged kids could afford all over the world, Kaiba Land had been the fruition of that dream, then again, now that she thought about it, helping all the poor children in the world didn't exactly sound like something Kaiba would say was his dream, that sounded more like kind, sweet, caring Mokuba.
"The reason it took me so long to build Kaiba Land wasn't because I forgot, if I want something I make it happen right when I want it, I have always been like that. Mokuba is the one who wanted that, and I thought it sounded nice, so I wanted it to. But it was never my dream, but my dream was admittedly kind of dumb, and the likely hood of it happening was about a million to one. I knew that, I am a genius after all. So I got adopted by Gozaboro, after all, I loved playing games, not making them but playing them, we both wanted an amusement park, and how do you get those things, you get yourself a company. How does a pathetic, dirty, little orphan get a company, he uses his pathetic situation to his advantage, and gets adopted by someone rich of course. So I wrote a letter to several different rich company owners I admired, asking them to donate some money to my orphanage. Gozaboro was my favorite at the time, because he was the original king of games, before duel monsters, when chess was king. I suppose I should've told him that I had watched every video ever made, and read all of his chess strategy books, its cheating not to, since a person chess strategy is such an intimate thing, but I didn't, I won, and the rest is history."
"Gozaboro was your hero?" Tea whispered quietly in shock, it just made what he did to the boy worse, well what little she knew. Mokuba had told them all, but she had a feeling he left some things out. And studying his behavior now, her suspicions were heightened, Mokuba had told him that his brother was locked away from the rest of the world and forced to study without break, getting at most 2 hours of sleep. But, there was more to the story than that, a glimpse of that came with the way Gozaboro had treated his own son, locking him away in a computer and leaving him there to rot, though Gozaboro had seemed like an okay parent before Noah died...it seemed as if he had gone insane. She didn't know what happened to his wife, and he planned to put Noah's mind into Kaiba's body. He never really saw him as a human being, more like a tool, like one of his many machines. If that was the case,it would've probably fairly easy to beat him. It would explain so much, especially his vehement distrust of others. After all if you couldn't trust your parents or your heroes or your saviors Gozaboro having saved him from oppressive poverty, coming to every child in the orphanages rescue like a night in shining armor, after all when you were a starving kid with no parents and no toys to distract you from the harsh realities of your life, than you didn't care if it was a publicity stunt, all you cared about was you weren't hungry anymore, yes Gozaboro had been their hero and their savior, and if you couldn't trust that than who could you trust?
Kaiba shrugged, "Even during his little lessons I still called him Father, I wanted to impress him. He gave me 100 million dollars for my birthday, I could do what I wanted with it, even have fun, but I had to give him double that amount back at the end of the year, if I didn't I was going to be shipped back to the orphanage. I tripled it in a day, putting a 100 million into my own bank account and giving him back 200 million dollars in return. He was proud, I was happy. I thought he finally respected me, that I wasn't just an unwanted burden he took his frustrations out on, that I was finally worth something. So I showed him a new video game I had been working on a virtual simulation of a dart game the controller of which had a state of the art targeting system, that he patented as his and put into missiles. To top it off, when I showed him my project he told me games were a waste of his time, and had me dragged out of his office, kicking and screaming, it was the last time I called him father. Though, he ended paying the ultimate price for crossing me." Kaiba said, a sadistic smirk on his face, his eyes flashing dangerously, as he recalled watching Gozaboro falling to his doom.
Tea shivered at the murderous feeling that Kaiba suddenly emitted. "Anyway, whenever I come here I feel free from all of that, Like I can be who I want to be and do what I want to do, I don't have to worry about Mokuba, I don't have to worry about Kaiba Corp, I'm feel like, like a blue eyes white dragon and nothing can weigh me down."
Tea smiled softened, she understood so much what he was talking about it almost hurt, only she felt like that for a living. When she was on stage, and the lights were shined on her, and the music started playing, she was transported to another world, where she didn't have to worry, where nothing could hurt her. She was high above the earth, soaring through the clouds like a bird. She was glad her friends hadn't followed her to New York she loved them dearly, but sometimes she wanted to get away from them too, dancing was hers and hers alone.
"I've never felt closer to you Kaiba." Tea said softly. Kaiba laughed bitterly, startling her.
"You think just because I brought you for a little frolic in the woods, we're close. Well, think again, I'm not the Keebler elf and life isn't a box of cookies, the only reason I brought you here is because your nothing but poor, stupid, trash who couldn't afford to wipe her ass in this place, the only thing you could do was sit in my room and think and seeing how you only have one braincell, I decided to have pity on you and bring you here. Don't make regret my decision by pretending we're close." Kaiba sneered, leering into her face. Tea felt her face turn red with anger and humiliation.
"Who the hell do you think you are! Its not like I asked to be brought here, and where the hell did this come from anyway, one minute where sharing..." Tea stopped, he was pushing away from her, he had shared too much and was scared. "That's what this is all about, isn't it? Kaiba I wouldn't betray you, what you tell me here, stays here."
"I don't need nor want your sympathy." Kaiba snapped turning away, she was intruding on his personal space, true he had invited her but that was a mistake.
"Its not sympathy, to tell you the truth I'm fascinated by you, you've always amazed me. Want to know a secret, I use my friends for inspiration, and your no exception, in fact you're one of my greatest inspirations." Tea admitted playing with the grass. Kaiba arched an eyebrow, nonverbally urging her to go on. "Well you see, I am currently enrolled in Juilliard, I'm working on my masters, but it wasn't always my school. Initially, they rejected me, they said I just wasn't what they were looking for, that I wasn't Juilliard material yet, and that they deeply regretted there wasn't a spot available for me at the school. I was devastated, inconsolable for weeks, it was as if all of my hopes and dreams had went up in smoke. I got an acceptance letter from the New York School of Performing Arts but they weren't the school of my dreams, I didn't even want to go. Then I saw a picture of you holding a press conference about something or other, and I felt like if you could overcome so much, and continue to, then I could too. It took me longer than I would've like but I'm finally here at Juilliard and its in part thanks to you, you who knew no support and very little love but who had accomplished so much." Tea said looking him in the eye. "So go ahead and tell me everything, because it doesn't make you weaker, it makes me stronger."
Kaiba turned his face away from her. "Only the weak rely on others for strength." Kaiba said nonchalantly.
"Well then I guess, you just make me weak." Tea said shrugging.
"Why?" Kaiba said curiously, she confused him so much, it was really pissing him off, it made him sick. His stomach was doing flip flops and he felt heat all over. He was hot and cold both at the same time, and was nervous from some strange reason. Maybe I should see a doctor. Kaiba thought to himself.
Tea shrugged, "Tell you what, you tell me something about you, and I'll tell you something stupid about myself, like, I use to have the hugest crush on the other Yugi, er, I mean Atem. I know its ridiculous, seeing as he 3000 years old, and was inside my best friends body, but I did. Anyway you can use it for blackmail against me later, so I'm no longer in a position to reveal anything."
Kaiba snorted, but than again this was someone who called the uploading process of his virtual display modulator inside his duel disk something from an enchanted dream, just because it was shiny and glittery. Tea swatted him on the arm, when a thought hit here. "You said your dream had been stupid and unrealistic, what was it?"
"I wanted to be an actor, don't you dare laugh." Kaiba said, pointing a finger at her.
"I'm not going to laugh because wanting to be a dancer isn't much better, let me guess you wanted to be one to be rich, right?"
"No, I wanted to be one, because they can just change who they are at a moments notice, they are masters at control of their emotions, and they get to have fun, while, still making loads of money, okay so I suppose I wanted to be a rich person, so sue me."
Tea laughed, she really couldn't see Kaiba as actor. "Actually, I practiced for years, its how I'm able to completely blank out my face and not show a hint of emotion, it comes in handy in the business world."
"You, practiced acting, yeah right." Tea said, stifling a giggle as she pictured him pretending to die dramatically, one hand placed on his forehead. Suddenly Kaiba grabbed her hand, and smiled his face beaming.
"Hi Yugi, can I see your grandfather's card for a moment." Kaiba asked, Tea arched an eyebrow. "Asked me how I knew you had it."
"How did you know I had it?" Tea asked.
"Well I was just hoping you did. Seeing you guys play Duel Monsters made me think about it and I'm so glad you guys are having fun. I would still like to see the card though, its so cool, and your grandfathers speech about the heart of the cards made me love the game even more." Kaiba said closing his eyes and smiling, looking truly happy. Tea's jaw dropped, it was like he really believed in the heart of cards.
"Heh, your pretty good, didn't you really say that once." Tea said, frowning and thinking. So Yugi never told her about the time I tried to steal his grandfather's card, good.
"Does it sound like something I'd say." Kaiba shot back.
"I guess not, do another one."
"Pegasus, I'm looking forward to working with you in the future, this is the start of a beautiful friendship, I'm sure." Kaiba said, sticking out his hand and smiling. Tea wanted to shake on it herself, he was really very good.
"Do a sad one." She said, trying to challenge him.
"I don't do sad, not that it matters, since I figured I'd start out in cheesy martial arts flicks, easiest way for an Asian man to break into Hollywood." Kaiba said coolly. She could tell he had thought a lot about it.
"What too scared." she mocked, a smug smile on her face.
"Is that a challenge." Kaiba shot back.
"You bet it is, unless your chicken." Tea teased. Suddenly Kaiba face morphed, his eyes watery, his face so sad it would make a monster cry. He took her hands into his.
"Jessica, I've wanted to tell you this for so long, and I just wish I had told you sooner. I was never in love with your half sisters aunts mother evil twin, it was you I wanted, but I couldn't tell you because she had me locked away in cave but now that I've faked my death and killed Patricks half zombie fathers cousin, we can finally be together." Kaiba said seriously, "Damn it all If only I weren't a vampire."
"I'm sorry Ben." Tea said remembering the seen from the Bold and the Lovely he was acting out (well too, much better than the real Ben anyway, well the guy who played Ben who actually turned out to be Greg, his nicer but socially inept cousin.) "But I have to do this." She said, picking up a twig from the ground and poking it into his chest like a wooden stake, Kaiba hissed in pain, clutching his chest, a single tear rolled down his cheek and he collapsed into her arms.
"Ben!" She shouted, Kaiba placed a hand on her cheek, gave her a weak, seemingly pain filled smile and his eyes rolled to the back of his head, his head lulling to the side, his eyes fluttering closed. His chest wasn't even moving. Tea clapped he hands and Kaiba looked up at her, he was now in her arms, lying on the ground and staring up into her eyes. Tea stopped clapping, and their eyes locked, Kaiba brought a hand up to her cheek and closed his eyes moving in for a kiss, Tea moved in for the kiss with him her eyes fluttering close her heart beating a mile a minute, when suddenly she heard Beethoven's 9th symphony. Tea glanced around confused, and Kaiba sat up abruptly and pulled his cellphone out of his pocket, effectively ruining the moment.
"Mokuba what?" Kaiba said worry evident in his voice. "When was he out of the house he's supposed to be grounded, where is he now...why didn't you tell me sooner...I don't care if you already bailed him out, this is serious and I demand to be kept informed of his whereabouts...put him on the phone." Kaiba was literally shaking with rage. "What do you mean he won't come to the phone? I"m coimng down there, and if he isn't there when I get back, your fired." Kaiba growled, his voice dangerously low. Kaiba looked down at his cell phone as he flipped it shut, eyes widening. It was 9:00 pm, he looked up at the sky as he felt a rain drop fall on his head, the sky was dark, an endless, ugly, murky dark with very few stars, The moon overhead partially covered by clouds. Great he thought to himself, Just Great.
Wow, this chapter came in less than a month, go me! Haha, oh and I noticed last chapter I never elaborated on why 20 years is old is such a big deal, its because that's the age Japanese people become adults (the only thing they get at 18 is their driver's license) but they also get the right to drink alcohol a year earlier than Americans. Its even pronounced differently than ever other number since its such a big day, so yeah that was why Serenity was upset that Tea missed it and another reason why Kaiba doesn't view Mokuba as an adult quite yet, since hes technically not in Japan. Mokuba is actually a month away from turning 18, Kaiba and Tea are 23. On a side note Mokuba has told Tea that he's already 18 which she believes since it mathematically makes sense (she is 5 years older than him a lot when she was 16 and he was 11 but less important now that they are so much older) As always read and review, and now that Kaiba and Tea's relationship has progressed a little further and so has Tea and Mokuba' tell me who you think she should be with now.
