A few months later...

Kaiba Corp. was on it's final day and what Mokuba said was true. When Keiko found out Seto was about to go bankrupt, she latched onto another man. Seto was left with nothing. He was currently sitting at his desk, head in his hands. His office was bare, having moved things out the day before and he was alone in the building. He had lost everything. He, the Seto Kaiba, had lost. And he had no one to blame but himself. Not only that but he would now be in debt by millions. He was ruined. Finished. His reverie was broken when someone spoke.

"Seto..." Seto's head shot up and he looked at the woman in his office. There, stood Tea. She stood there, awkwardly and Seto realised that even though Tea was a successful business woman, she was still the same Tea that he had pushed away.

"What are you doing here?" Seto asked. Tea bit her lip.

"I was wondering how you were doing" Tea said softly.

"Why would you care?" Seto asked.

"I-...I'm worried about you Seto" Tea said.

"Sure you are" Seto said sarcastically.

"Really, I am. I've known that Kaiba Corp. had been falling in rates and I knew this would happen" Tea said.

"Ironic isn't it?" Seto asked.

"A shame more like it" Tea said. She placed a briefcase on his deck.

"What's this?" Seto asked, raising an eyebrow and looking at the thing untrustworthily.

"Before you open it, I want you to know that even though you have turned your back on me and Seth, I want you to be in his life. I ask you one more time to accept your responsibilities as Seth's father" Tea said.

"This again?" Seto asked.

"Yes. This again. Seth needs his father. I've always told him that but he never listens. I know what it's not like to have a father and when I did, I lost him. Seth needs you Seto. Please, be there for him" Tea said. Seto stared at Tea. She took his silence as his answer. She nodded to herself. "Fine" she said before she stood. Tears came to her eyes. "In that suitcase is a few million dollars. Enough to get you out of debt and enough to look after yourself" Tea said. She saw Seto's eyes widened. "There, I'm done" Tea said. They both froze at those words.

'Yes, I'm done. I'm done with you. It's over' echoed in their ears. Tea bit back a sob.

"I-It is ironic" Tea croaked out. "It was exactly 14 years ago when I said something similar to you" Tea said. Seto stiffened when he heard that. She was right. Exactly 14 years ago, they had their huge fight which resulted in Tea walking out of his life. Tea turned and walked to the door. "I-I love you Seto. Take care of yourself" Tea said before her tears fell, thankful she was facing the other way. She quickly rushed out of the room. Seto sat there, stunned.

'She still...loves me after everything I've done to her?' Seto asked himself.

Now he had a choice to make. Keep his pride and let her run. Or, screw his pride and chase after then one good thing that happened in his life after Mokuba.

He knew what to do as he opened his desk draw.


Tea swiftly made her way to the elevators that would take her down to the lobby.

"Tea!" Tea spun around, surprised to see Seto chasing after her. Her heart fluttered and more tears fell from her eyes. Seto stopped a few metres from her. Tea shook, trying to keep her tears back but it was useless. "Tea please, I-" Seto stopped. He didn't know what to do. His pride was wounded but he had to do this. "I'm sorry" Seto said. His own voice was shaky. "I-oh god, I'm so sorry. I can't explain how sorry I am" He said. "You were there for me through everything. I didn't realise it till now. But you have been there through my good days and bad and only now, when you're still here for me, did I realise it. I'm sorry I said those horrible things to you 14 years ago. I'm sorry my pride stopped me from chasing you. I'm sorry I wasn't there for Seth's life. I'm sorry I made you cry and I'm sorry I abandoned you. I just..." By now, tears had falling from Seto's eyes. "I...I love you, Tea." Tea ran to him and they embraced. Tea buried her face in his chest and he placed his cheek on the top of her head. They both shook in each others arms.

"I wanted you to chase me 14 years ago. I wanted you to show me you cared" Tea cried. They pulled their heads away and they looked in each others eyes before they kissed passionately. Everything they felt went into the kiss. Anger, loneliness, love, regret, it only added to the flame. After what seemed like hours, they parted.

"Please, don't leave me" Seto pleaded. Tea then realised Seto had always been afraid to get close to her, afraid she would leave him.

"Seto, I love you. I'm not going to go anywhere. We'll be together always and forever" Tea smiled. Seto nodded and held her to him. "Just, don't break my heart again" Tea whispered.

"Never again" Seto swore. He released her and held something out for her. Tea gasped. It was the necklace she had thrown on the ground 14 years ago before she ran out. The deep blue diamond pendant was still in perfect condition. Seto placed it back on Tea who clutched it tightly in her hand. Tea kissed Seto once again.

"I love you so much Seto" Tea pledged. "Now, let's go home" And together, hand in hand, they headed home. After getting the briefcase.


They arrived at their house and entered.

"Seth! Walter! Mokie, I'm home!" Tea said. Joey ran to her. Tea laughed as she patted him.

"Mom, I still can't beat Walter at chess!" They heard Seth yell as he ran down the stairs. When he saw Seto, he froze.

"Seth, honey, come and properly meet your father" Tea said happily. Seth had never seen her so happy. He walked down the rest of the stairs. He soon stood in front of Seto. "A clean start. Seth, this is your father. Seto, this is your son" Tea said. They stared at each other. Seto bent down and was eye level with him. He touched his face before running his hand through Seth's hair. He stared into Seth's azure eyes.

"I'm sorry I haven't been here for you, Seth. But if you'll let me, I'll make it up to you" Seto said.

"Do you love mom?" Seth asked coldly. Seto's eyes widened in surprised before he nodded.

"Yes. I love her and...I love you too, son" Seto said. Seth stared at his father hard before he jumped on him. He cried. He finally had his father.

"I'm glad to see you came around Seto" Seto looked up to see Mokuba and Walter on the stairs. Seto smiled at him. Seth got off him and Seto stood. He embraced his brother.

"I'm sorry Mokuba. I don't know what was wrong with me" Seto said.

"It's alright Seto. You learnt from your mistakes, didn't you?" Mokuba asked. Seto nodded. "Then all is well" Mokuba said. Seto nodded.

"Now we can be a big happy family. A complete, family" Tea said.

"Uh uh" Seth said. "I need a little sister" Seth said. Tea blushed brightly and Seto smirked at her.

"I could do that" Seto said. Mokuba, Walter and Seth laughed at Tea's expense.
