Disclaimer: Leave me alone; just check out chapter 5 and before.

Chapter 7

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Tea groaned as her alarm clock kept ringing, the time being 7:15. She had her interview today at 8 so she had to look as professional as she could. Getting up groggily, she walked to her closet while rubbing the sleep away from her eyes. She turned the brass knob, opened the wooden door, and browsed through her outfits. Her closet was a very organized mix of colors. On the left side were seven dresses that were colorful and had varying lengths, from mid-thigh to past ankles. Beneath them was a wooden chest with her undergarments, socks, and assorted products. In the middle four pairs of her uniform were hanging, along with jeans and leggings. On the right side, there were at least fifteen assorted blouses and t-shirts. Tea scanned one of her more conservative blouses and picked out a white button down one that had a belt in the middle along with a knee length black pencil skirt. She applied her makeup very lightly, wearing a nude color lip-gloss and a swipe of mascara. She took out a pair of stud earrings and her mother's precious necklace for good luck. 'Mum, I wish you were here with me right now,' she said in her mind. 'I really miss you and dad a lot. You guys were the world to me. Now I have no one to love.' Her eyes were now a pool of tears, blurring her vision and threatening to fall down her face. 'Not even Brett is with me anymore. God, I have lost everyone this year-my parents, my boyfriend, my friends-all the people I love1. I can't do anything!' Her tears cascaded down her face at a rapid pace, mixing with her mascara and staining her cheeks a very miserable black color. She took a wet tissue and tried to wipe away the black smears. "I think I should start using water-proof mascara so that I won't have to deal with this," she said humorlessly, trying to rid the trail of dark brown color from her cheeks. That being said, she removed one of her makeup cases, picked out a tube of waterproof mascara, and applied it to her damp lashes. 'There, now I won't have to about this problem for the rest of the day.' She picked up her cellphone and hairbrush and walked downstairs to the kitchen. She put down her hairbrush by the sink and her phone on the table. Tea popped bread into the toaster and made herself a cup of tea. She combed her tangled knot of chocolate brown hair, and got lost in her sea of thoughts of her interview questions. While she was thinking of another question that might be asked her cellphone suddenly buzzed and threw Tea out of her thoughts. She squinted at the small screen, viewing who had texted her and saw an unknown number. Curious, she looked at the message. 'Don't forget about your interview today Tea! This is Mokuba by the way in case you were wondering. Bye!' She chuckled and put her phone back down. Although the boy was very cunning and cheeky, he was also quite cute and friendly with her.

The toaster rang and the smell of toast wafted throughout the air. Tea walked over to the steaming toaster and collected the two golden slices of bread. She spread butter on both of them and sat back down, munching on one of them while checking the time. The clock read 7:42. While she was wasting away her tears and thinking hard about her interview, time had passed the imaginary finish line, leaving her stunned on the tracks, with clouds of dust kicked up in the distance. She had to recollect herself and go out of her own world back into her damned situation. Tea gulped down her tea and ate the bread slices really quickly. After she was done eating, she rushed to the sink and ran water on the plate and mug. 'I guess I'll do the dishes when I come back; I don't have time to rinse them out now.' She ran to the shoe rack and picked out a modest pair of low black heels. She collected her purse and forms and locked the door. As she turned the silver key in the metal lock, she whispered a goodbye to her parents. Glancing at the sky, it was a dull grey, with small drops of rain hitting the firm ground. "Why does it have to bloody rain when I'm in a rush?!" she yelled angrily. "It's too late to run back inside and get an umbrella or a jacket!" "I really hate this day! Nothing is going well!" She huffed and walked down the rough concrete steps, so bumpy that she nearly toppled over. She gathered herself and was preparing to do a 900-meter sprint down the road when a black limousine pulled up, with the driver waving his left arm out the window.

"Wait! Excuse me Miss!" he yelled trying to get her attention. He got out of the luxurious vehicle and walked over to her. Tea paused and looked at him. He was a young man in his early twenties, handsomely dressed in a jet-black suit with a dark red tie. He had dark brown hair that would almost be mistaken as black. It was spiked up with gel, giving it a silver gleam and light blue eyes that looked back at her gently. His figure was well built, and his skin was a light tan. "Mokuba sent me to bring you to the Kaiba Mansion so that you wouldn't have to run all the way there," he said in a deep voice that was almost as deep as Yami's, though less dark and more humored. Tea let out a breath of relief, thanking God that she didn't have to run all the way down three blocks in heels. Her day was not so horrible as she originally thought it was. "You are Tea Gardner right?"

"Yup, that's me," she answered back in a relieved tone. "You don't know how much trouble you've saved me. I thought I'd have to run all the way to the interview!"

"It's my pleasure," he said warmly. My name is Dominic by the way, but you can just call me Dom. I will be your driver from now on." He smiled pleasantly and walked her to the car. Like a gentleman, he opened the door for her and waited for her to get in. Tea's cheeks were burning, as she wasn't used to anyone being this polite to her or acting like a gentleman. Yugi was the most polite to her out of the lot, but he was her friend so it wasn't awkward. This was a handsome man that she didn't know, with this being her first conversation with him. She sat back in the red leather seat very uncomfortably and folded her arms. The driver got into the car and sensed her uneasiness. "There's no need to be shy of me," he chuckled. "I'm your driver and we will be seeing each other every day, so there's no need to be so insecure."

"I'm sorry it's just that I'm not used to an unknown guy acting like a gentleman to me!" she said, laughing a bit nervously, mentally hitting herself for her lame comment. She relaxed a bit and loosened her stiff posture, aware of how ridiculous she was acting.

"Just sit back and enjoy the ride," he responded back, chuckling lightly at her embarrassment. Tea laughed a bit, which pleased him. He turned on the radio to lighten the mood even more. The ride was quiet, with Tea occasionally drumming her fingers against the curve of the seat. She looked outside and saw that the rain had picked up a lot, with massive drops tumbling down in a fever of speed. Along the bottoms of sidewalks were muddy puddles that were growing in size, which erupted when a car drove through it quickly. This would be a terrible sight for anyone to walk in, as the poor wretches would be drenched in the muddy water. 'I'm so glad I didn't have to run through this weather,' she commented to herself. 'I'd be completely soaked and look like an idiot who'd walked through a sewer.'

As the limousine pulled up to the stunning mansion, Tea checked her watch and saw it was already 8:00. "Thank God I made it in time," she sighed. "And thank you Dominic for driving me to the mansion. I feel very relieved now."

"It is my pleasure to help you Miss Gardner," he said, holding his arm out and leading her out of the car. "And please call me Dom from now on."

"Ah right I forgot!" Tea said nervously scratching the back of her neck. "Well now here I go!"

"Good luck with the interview!" he yelled back to her encouragingly. Tea grabbed the Gorgon's head knocker and struck the marble door with it lightly. Mokuba opened the door for her and yelled to Rolan.

"Hey Tea you got my text right?" he asked excitedly.

"Yes I did and I remembered as you can see," she replied back cheerfully. Mokuba shut the doors behind her and led her to a glass and diamond encrusted coffee table. On it was a cup of tea and some shortbread biscuits.

"This is for you during the interview if you are still hungry or feel slightly anxious. Roland is going to interview you, so don't worry. He's a really easy going guy and is very patient." Mokuba remembered one of the babysitters who was French by descent and went on and on about the French Revolution and how women should have received rights afterwards since they participated alongside men. She babbled for an hour while Roland listened to her politely while secretly glancing at his watch. At the end he kindly told her she is a very political woman and should be working in a governmental office. Roland strolled into the room holding a laptop and a few documents.

"Hello you must be Tea Gardner if I am correct?" he asked smiling. Tea felt at ease and loosened her posture.

"Yes sir that is me," she replied confidently. "I am here for an interview concerning a nanny position for Mokuba."

"That you surely are here for. Come, have a seat." Tea sat opposite the tall man, making herself comfortable in the plush chair. Roland removed his shades he usually wore and instead took out a packet of stapled sheets and a blank paper. "Well then, let us begin." Tea shifted a bit in her seat, getting ready to answer the many questions in front of her.

"Well then, first question is your name but I already know that," Roland mumbled, jotting down 'Anzu Mazaki' as a random name since these documents were going to Kaiba who might read them. "Next question, what is your date of birth, how old are you, and what is your affiliation?"

"My date of birth is August 18th. I am 15 years old and I go to Domino High School." Tea waited patiently for the next question while Roland scribbled his notes down.

"Alright and what were your previous jobs if you had any?" Rolan asked her this question nervously as he knew the answer but he had to ask her.

"I used to work in Burger World but got fired since my papers were sent to the manager and my school does not allow any of its students to hold part time jobs."

"Okay, why do you want to work here? Would your work ethic fit with our standards?" Tea twitched her eyes and sweat-dropped, thinking 'well I was fired because of Mokuba and I have to work here if I want to live under a roof.' However, she knew this was not an appropriate answer and this was confidential information.

"I actually take pride in my work ethic as in my last job, my manager hardly complained to me and I worked longer than the rest of the workers on the weekends." She tried to say this statement in a way that didn't sound haughty but it was true and she couldn't doubt that fact. "And I would be interested in babysitting Mokuba since I get along with children easily and can make a lot of different healthy meals. I can also help in maid services and play card games with him."

Roland smiled, as he jotted down the rest of the information down. "That's all I have to ask." Tea shifted uncomfortably, interlocking her sweaty fingers and gulping down an invisible lump in her throat. "You passed. I am very confident you will be an excellent babysitter to Mokuba Kaiba." Tea smiled and thanked the tall man, while laughing gleefully in her head. "Also, I need to inform you of something. In order for you to become a babysitter Seto Kaiba needs to approve and sign the documents I just filled out." Tea's heart dropped. "However, we have very close ties with a man who can forge Kaiba's signature. After he forges the signature, I will sneak it into his office and tell him there is a new babysitter for Mokuba. These days he already knows the whole hiring-and-firing ordeal so he won't care too much about the report." Tea absorbed everything that was said. "Any questions?"

Tea thought and then asked, "What if one day Kaiba does look through the report? He will see my name and surely fire me then."

"Actually, I changed your name to Anzu Mazaki instead so he will not recognize you." Tea's blood froze. How did this man know that name? No, it must be a coincidence since there is no way he could know the forbidden name.

"Also, I am a little curious as to why you chose that name. Not that there's anything wrong with it!" she added quickly.

"Well it was just a random name I had thought of. If you want me to change it I will."

"No it's fine I was just wondering!" Tea nervously answered back.

"Now I just need to submit these documents and you can start your job in a few days!" Dominic came to pick Tea and dropped her at her house. Roland went to his office room, wrote out a report about 'Anzu Mazaki' as the background check, and made up her whole profile. He knew Collin would be signing these reports and would take a little interest in reading her profile. As he typed, he remembered Tea's frozen face upon hearing her "new name." Was there something wrong in that name? As he thought about the name the phone rang. He snapped out of his thoughts and picked up the restless phone. "Hello who is calling?"

"Hello Roland this is Collin. You told me you wanted me to forge Kaiba's signature for a nanny?"

"Yes I am just about to bring the documents over to you I am gathering them together." As he said that, he printed out a few pages of 'Anzu Mazaki' and stapled them all together and stuffed them in his leather shoulder strap bag. He only used this bag if he had to deliver something urgently. He told Collin that he was going to drop the papers to Collin and hung up the phone. As he stepped outside, he wore his signature shades again and got into his black car.

At Tea's House

'How did Roland know about "The Name"- the name that was never to be uttered or remembered? I thought everything would be forgotten and what happened wouldn't have to come up again. Then, how?' Tea's mind was swarmed with thoughts and questions as she was sitting at her table at home and going over what happened during the interview. "It must be a coincidence since everything was handled very secretly," Tea said out loud to herself. "I will treat this as a coincidence until I can find out more evidence. Now then, I need to think about Brett. How the hell do I tell him I don't need him anymore? The guy will probably kill me. Ughhh I have to be strong!" Tea did a fist bump in the air, which she found quite embarrassing. "Okay I'm not doing that again," she mumbled. As Tea thought about what to do with her expired boyfriend, he was preparing something for Tea. The next day would be even harder for Tea than she thought.

feels she lost her friends since she cannot tell them anything about her job and Brett.

So guys what do you think of this chapter? There are a bunch of things might have confused some of you but they will be answered. For example, what is the big mystery of "Anzu Mazaki?"
